<+mircea_popescu> did you take some time off to change, or did you give us some time off maybe we come to our senses ?

<< i very much not agree ; much too soon to standardize this.
bvt:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-17#1903106 << i also agree that it is; i don't find myself knowledgable enough to make a decision on the republican cpu architecture, but for bootstrapping using ice40 with its limited resources a simple mips core sounded fitting.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-17#1902991 << as far as the 'stage0' is concerned, there is one guy manaloneing (OriansJ in #bootstrappable), and a dozen of people watching. can't say anything about 'mes' yet, it has a different author.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: usb_net_drivers - alf conf says n, options are only y or m, default is y.

<Mocky> it goes well, getting my blog moved over to mp-wp. finding a 2.7 compatible theme
<< The default chops up rather nicely
mircea_popescu: (at the time this was completed, early 70s, it was pretty much the largest hydro plant in the world). hoover dam, for instance, had
<2MW installed capacity, vs the >2MW here.
mircea_popescu: the west states
<< obv i mean east states, penn, ny, mass & co
BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> somehow, have working taste buds, or seem to
<< The Peruana is much better at composing flavors into food than I am, but... her sense of smell just might be weaker than mine
mircea_popescu: by the time they cut the pig, official rate was
<20:1, black market was >100:1
BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> yes, romanians thought "theyt're working". they were playing, 9 cases out of 10.
<< One of the bigger cleaning product consortiums recently pulled production out of Uruguay. Easier to ship packaged retail ready from Mexico than water down and bottle in the labor environment here.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-14#1902442 << it does not seem to me ion ratiu & co (coposu, a buncha other fossils) had any fucking clue as to anything whatsoever. in a cool evaluation, actually worse than the "descurcati". ironically enough, the objection as voiced is A LOT more substantial than the same group of dorks aforementioned, pompously pretending themselves "the intellectual elite" and whatnot, wanted to give credit

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-14#1902430 << well, "weird". they're both ideal social systems, they both have the same problems. they have it in different degrees, or rather, differently distributed. warsaw pact socialism was an ideal system closest to realism at the top and most idealized at the bottom. roosveltian socialism is an ideal system closest to realism at the bottom, and most idealized at the top. as i'm at the top

<asciilifeform> ( mircea_popescu , observe, does not have to buy bulldozer. not even in argentina are people fucked enuff in the head to ask MOAR for lease of bulldozer, genset, etc than to BUY )
