asciilifeform: i/o, however, is only ~4x slower than host's, so in fact one ~could~ run e.g. trb on it.
asciilifeform: afaik this is the 1st attempt to measure it, too ( i.e. with max sweat over cycles, 0 c in proggy, 0 libs, etc sim. )
asciilifeform: seems like ~this~ is the actual (vs. 'i-can't-believe-it's-not-butter' vmware et al) cost of 100% process isolation on pc.
asciilifeform: apparently pipeline blow is substantial factor here.
asciilifeform predicted initially that cost would be ~40x vs host, based on avg. # of x86 instrs. taken per simulated instr.
asciilifeform: i'ma let BingoBoingo think re whether it makes sense to offer shared hosting on a thing like that. (or whether folx will simply die of laughter)☟︎
asciilifeform: can prolly be improved somewhat, via cycle-shaving, but not by order of magnitude.
asciilifeform: i.e. sitting on 3GHz 'opteron', a 'm' session is approx on part with 486dx, in re ops/sec.
asciilifeform: (actual iron does it in O(1), emulated -- naturally in O(N), where N is up to all 16 entries in tlb table)
asciilifeform: most of the 'ding' is in the tlb lookup .
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in measurements : performance of http://www.loper-os.org/?p=3420 system : as measured by a) 'bogomips' (linus's benchmark) : 93.4 times slower than host cpu; b) 'dhrystone' (traditional integer benchmark) : 300.98 times slower than host cpu.
asciilifeform: very cautious an' pessimistic indian fella. used to design hydraulic pumps etc. 'Must look into asciilifeform‘s implementation of v.py (V versioning system) and formulate a plan of action. At first look, I have absolutely not an inkling of what is going on, and I am worried it will take a lifetime to do this'
asciilifeform: diana_coman's student, lives in #ossasepia
asciilifeform: reportedly, 'not arrested, because was registered nutter' (possible mistransl.?)
asciilifeform: relatedly, not long ago some d00d rolled a cart fulla jerry cans into a cartoon studio in jp and burned whole thing down. shouted 'die, plagiarists'
asciilifeform: 'satellites offer the comfort of redundancy... ...lockstream isn’t launching satellites itself; it rents a small portion of the bandwidth on commercial satellites, which are mainly used for TV. The data is beamed up with enough bandwidth to ensure the blockchain stays up to date.' << pretty sure we had thread re this 'here have some inca central palace under guise of 'redundancy'' nuttery
asciilifeform: ( BingoBoingo et al -- do you know ? )
asciilifeform not eaten mp-wp, does not know whether it includes enableable public search function somewhere, and if so whether can be easily repurposed for by-line srch
asciilifeform: logtron gotta have phf-style search imho, to be of any use.
asciilifeform: iirc mp_en_viaje once said 'aint worth the cpu cost'
asciilifeform: ( didn't mp_en_viaje have tea with phf not long ago ? did he say anyffin re subj ? )
asciilifeform: why phf never genesised his, wish i knew, imho it is the most feature-complete one
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: afaik the closest thing to a publication is ben_vulpes + trinque's item, where the irc and db backend was genesised , for some reason w/out the wwwistic frontend.
asciilifeform: diana_coman et al : iirc phf stepped into his (unknown to me) bear trap right after proclaiming that will fix this item
asciilifeform: lulzily, orig. text was maybe 3 para; what got shat out by the end is some 100kB, reads like usg penal code.
asciilifeform: nao asciilifeform can burn in the higher temperature circle of hell, where ken thompson is!1
asciilifeform: in other lulz, asciilifeform goes to snailmail box and in it, a spam, 'buy gold-plated plaque of yer patent!'. a:'wtf' , goes an' loox, sure enuff, there is one, d00d who ran (long-defunkt) salt mine where asciilifeform was conscripted to write one, apparently kept payin', and so got shat out.
asciilifeform: well iirc he was headed to visit mp_en_viaje other day
asciilifeform: indeed worx. will have to saw it open an' see just how.
asciilifeform: hmm was this preserved in log somewhere?
asciilifeform: well my current one (linked above, cribbed from gnat built-in htmlizer) dun even put anchors on the individual lines, atm can only link subroutines
asciilifeform: from my reading of item 3 , 'The disadvantage of span is that, being an inline element, it will not cross paragraphs (or <li> borders for that matter)'
asciilifeform: unless i misread, div introduces like break, neh ?
