asciilifeform: dafuq is *ref* , phf

asciilifeform: plox to post whole thing

asciilifeform: i have done this continuously ever since mod6 unearthed the sharp edge with 'Image operator

asciilifeform: ( ftr i tested it on both of the two major species of gnat )

asciilifeform: phf: something is very very very wrong with mod6's gnat, but i do not yet know what

asciilifeform: neato phf

asciilifeform: the output lives now at http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/fact_out.txt , if someone knows what 65536! ought to equal -- compare and say.

asciilifeform: width, as readers of the proggy recall, is 1024000-bit.

asciilifeform: the sha512 of the output of the program, on all 3 machines, is 2540ed1fa8d4eb82916417df9136b79657c27cfc9c590d0b43fa14a03c7b2831f0371a598bd8040d7ba1ed0a6c1fd0cd87287d477388f2a2ed962f3f5601f366.

asciilifeform: for anyone not tuned in : ^ computes factorial of 65536. ☟︎

asciilifeform: operation is the one in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-15#1684808 . ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2393 SE @ 3.1 GHz' : 298m6.240s ☟︎

asciilifeform: results of torture test:

asciilifeform: in other noose, achtung mod6 et al:

asciilifeform bbl

asciilifeform: no winblowz line endings either ( from where..? )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: absolutely not

asciilifeform: verdict so far is, makefiles dun survive being pasted.

asciilifeform: ( in curl ?! wai?! )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-16#1684924 << mega-puzzle is, ~where~ did it happen ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-16#1684855 << i'ma need a copy of your ada tarballs, to see exactly how, but it has been shitgnomed into uselessness ☝︎

asciilifeform brb

asciilifeform: ( use the one in the tar, paste in, then, e.g., wget -- what happens? )

asciilifeform: try yourself

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-16#1684837 << i diffed it, it mutilates... ☝︎

asciilifeform bbl: meat.

asciilifeform: can't leave'em ALONE??

asciilifeform: WAIWAIWAI

asciilifeform: FORFUCKSSAKE WHY

asciilifeform: and YES ben_vulpes your paster MUTILATES TABS ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: this goes for phf and whoever else is tuned in and following along.

asciilifeform: mod6: if this does not build on your box, you gotta find out why, before attempting anything other adatronic experiments.

asciilifeform: !~later tell mod6 http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/fact.tar.gz << complete kit for above. sha512==26198604bff50d3411e343a30b97f4babe3a6b291fca267435cecd6a5438a08862b550198a49dd5549dda00c841d95afc1443f597587710b83c7fa65effa9c73 ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: i have nfi why this was needed.

asciilifeform: and i will say, if my makefile dun work on your box, in fact you do not have a working ada setup.

asciilifeform: this is infuriating

asciilifeform: what's line 33 anyway

asciilifeform: bitwise same makefile.

asciilifeform: and even on crapple.

asciilifeform: i have it working on both types

asciilifeform: or similar

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes's paste thing must be mutilating endings

asciilifeform: for fucks sake

asciilifeform: tomorrow will see how varies. ☟︎

asciilifeform: fwiw i left mod6's factorial thing running on 3 different boxes

asciilifeform: ( i enable all - afaik - of the checks that are for some reason off by default )

asciilifeform: also you gotta use all of my flags to have comparable result.

asciilifeform: gnat apparently has the utterly worthless ( even for auditing, it produces megatonne of liquishit ) O0 as default.

asciilifeform: mod6: yes!

asciilifeform: ( pretty sure i posted this before. but here it is again. )

asciilifeform: mod6 et al : http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/YEHNs/?raw=true << asciilifeform's current an' all-time gnat makefile

asciilifeform: !~later tell mod6 incidentally didja build with -cargs -O2 ??????

asciilifeform: ( ~same iron, scaled up )

asciilifeform: 50s when was still called nmr..

asciilifeform: 60s

asciilifeform: no brain lights involved.

asciilifeform: classic mri is simply like a 3d xray that shows soft tissue

asciilifeform: again yer speaking of the f

asciilifeform: size&shape old school mri -- worx

asciilifeform: fmri

asciilifeform: classic

asciilifeform: trying to use electric field -- ends badly

asciilifeform: gotta go either contact ( normal people's voltmeter ) or induction sense ring ( magnetic field )

asciilifeform: afaik you cannot actually make a tool like this , that would work reasonably.

asciilifeform: it was ill-conceived

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-06#1679518 << erlehmann ☝︎

asciilifeform: jeszcze polska ne zginela etc.

asciilifeform: can read romanji.

asciilifeform: erlehmann: dun switch if you dun wanna.

asciilifeform: with maximally soft fallback to roman

asciilifeform: erlehmann: that's the only forgiveable way of doing orc alphabets ( ru, il, gr )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'punycode' rubbish is used ~entirely by cn spammers.

asciilifeform: mod6: if your box is anything like mine, it'll be 4-5 hrs.

asciilifeform: mno looks like he only rejects ones crapple and gnome hadn't yet signed off on

asciilifeform: dun forget to insert nonprintingspaces between the chars for good measure, for potentially INFINITE bytewise-permutes mapping to SAME VISUAL STRING

asciilifeform: need i go on..

asciilifeform: ( and ditto in 'modern', e.g., crapple, www browsers, in urls )

asciilifeform: or the wonderful duped a, a, e, p, that lets whoever log in as 'mircea_popescu' on fleanode and it will display EXACTLY in 'modernized' terminal as the actual mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: the one in shiticode

asciilifeform: mno

asciilifeform: 'it's invisible ! magic !'

asciilifeform: or how about the raging idiocy of, e.g., nonprintingspace char.

asciilifeform: and making me read an ENTIRE MOTHERFUCKING STRING before i can say how many chars are in it, or whether a certain substring occurs at the end -- is not ill-thought ?

asciilifeform: than it otherwise could be. than it was in 1990.

asciilifeform: it makes every single text-touching thing 9000x moar complicated and riddled with ???.

asciilifeform: even if you personally never intend to implement an os, a text renderer, build printer with own hands, etc

asciilifeform: erlehmann: do you understand that IT EXISTING is a massive cost ?

asciilifeform: erlehmann: in the only terms that matter : brain cycles.

asciilifeform: redditidjits worry about marking nuke tombs to be comprehensible to monkeys. how about marking liberasty.

asciilifeform: had better be remembered, or will repeat. as mazdakism was forgotten, and today repeats.

asciilifeform: anyone recall how long punctuation marks took, to catch on?

asciilifeform: not 'let's make a new smiley with ebola face', no.

asciilifeform: 'new characters', e.g. integral sign, are MINDBOGGLINGLY EXPENSIVE. to the point where i dun expect to ever live to see a halfway justified case for one.

asciilifeform: ppc users MUST use an egyptological w_mul...

asciilifeform: speaking of risc asm, asciilifeform found out that ppc has a nonconstanttime iron mul.

asciilifeform: a line becomes a para becomes a page ....

asciilifeform: translating to engl always feels like hand-compiling to risc asm ☟︎
