mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so i take it your ideal cpu would actually be simply state machines + registers, no actual ram ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i ~can't imagine~ what the fuck must have been going through the skull of whoever came up with "working a piece or moving the worked piece, same thing". what the fuck ever is it same thing!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: memory, of course, starts with byte 299008 (584 * 512) and extends as far as 512 bits bus can address, if you're installing that. meaning, all core registers are allocated as memory anyways. and that's fucking it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the remainder 8 "sharp outer" cores control the flats, by moving things in and out of ~their~ registers.
mircea_popescu: the 64 "flat outer" cores are state machines that can do mvin and mvout -- taking registers to memory or memory to registers, ie use the bus. only, of course, for the state machines inside their ~projection~.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the 512 "central" cores are state machines that can do add or mul, and always proceed ~on their entire register set~. so if you don't want to multiply 131072-bit numbers, just put in zeros ; and if you put larger numbers in there you'll just get the LAST 262144 bits of the result, is all.
mircea_popescu: but speaking of those design decisions, by my current thinking the ideal processor is defined as follows : the bus width is 512bits ; therefore the byte is 512bits. the processing core is a state machine, with 512 byte-sized registers. a processor is composed of 512 + 8*9 such cores. for convenience imagine them organized in a cube, 8x8x8, with an extra 64 item layer on three sides.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but on a more optimistic note, that's probably the most anyone cared about anything to do with the topic or the persons named or otherwise referred to in their entire history. that should count for something.
mircea_popescu: dude check me out, by now i'm writing 500 word chatlines. this isn't going well.
mircea_popescu: id cow "from twitter" explaining @whatever conference "how serious they take banning" blinks incomprehendingly just as she's done with her soundbytes. yeah, why is it ??? there's entirely no difference between any of them and any other aspiring-writers-in-new-york, philosophy of art history studies rejects the world over. why those, why not these ? blink blink ?
mircea_popescu: any fucking monkey picked out in the street could have made ~just as good~ a "corporate executive" as the fucktards apple hired -- and somehow nobody is telling them this. and of course the idiots don't have the werewithal to look in the mirror, "if plumbers were as good at plumbing as we are at executiving, we'd be quite literally swimming in the shit we're metaphorically drowning in!"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: vp of motherfucking what, exactly ? "how to give away the market to the azns" ? that's a skill ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: jobs' been dead what, a decade ? not even a decade. meanwhile, fifty FUCKING MORONS sat around in rooms pompously pretending as to how "of course i'm teh vp, didn';t you see the sign on the door ?"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-09#1901064 << in quite related news : went to flagship mall in this country, escazu multiplaza (escazu being where the us embassy compound lies, and all the retarded gringos live, very miami real estate racket reservation), and guess what ? there's no ipad store. AT ALL. instead, huawei dominates both in advertising (these large floating banners) and location (top floor store, only one to sell c
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-09#1901062 << very much this. "oh, couldn't POSSIBLY spare another bus width for a FULL mult result. NEVERTHELESS... can fucking spare eight trillion bus widths to specify instruction length. it's 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000101 and not a mere fucking 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ftr, warlock has the stronger troops for large maps ; sorceress for medium. if you're looking for a shortcut to beating his ass.
mircea_popescu: spyked prolly should redirect to explanation tho. 404 is ambiguous here
☟︎ mircea_popescu: time and again we're back to ye olde "oh, line, you mean paragraph" pile of accidentally-grown-never-designed festering sores.
mircea_popescu: which is JUST AS BROKEN BY DESIGN. ctrl-d will end a file AND kill a terminal, but not touch a task. ctrl-c will kill n levels of task depth, as in her example, FOUR.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in more practical sense : ctrl-C is broken-by-design, in that it is ambiguously used to either mean "kill this task" or "kill all tasks". note how ctrl-c doesn't kill THE TERMINAL. it needs ctrl-d for that.
mircea_popescu: dude, this "x distance apart" is like the fucking speed bumps. brilliant fucking idea, "how about everyone pays a tax so that some edge cases benefit"
mircea_popescu: in this very specific sense, "free and open source" is WAY worse than microsoft apple etc.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between selecting for intelligent users and selecting for inept hoop jumping acrobatic users -- and "foss" managed to implement the 2nd kind while loudly making postureclaims as to everything under the sun.
mircea_popescu: hanbot this sounds like EXACTLY what the problem has been, all these years.
mircea_popescu: most amusing element -- neither of the "parties" involved read as much as a line of ye olde menshevik-bolshevik disputes.
mircea_popescu: "racism is cover for capitalism" ongoing in oither soviet as we speak.
mircea_popescu: wait till kids figure out en masse they can opt out of those stultifying "assemblies" by being "racist"
mircea_popescu: this is the truth pantsuit vehehehery carefully tiptoes around every time they're "discussing" usg's foreign policy outlay : usg is a chinese vassal, it has to ask for permission.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, the objection is sound -- all weimars everywhere end up "parliamentarist" before going away.
mircea_popescu: that's fucking beautiful. huawei suing us congress over being a rat'\s nest. this shall be a lulz to watch.
mircea_popescu: but plox quote in actual coin rather than monopoly money ?
mircea_popescu: ie, a more practical avenue might be perhaps to invite the fellow to join your own castle ? what's he to do otherwise, get himself banned here ?
mircea_popescu: trinque looks like something wedged her /sys , whatever partition that's on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check it out, i wonder why we all only used amds. what suckers we were, and all that.
mircea_popescu expects ben_vulpes reboots mimi in short order and the matter goes away ; otherwise we'll see wtf to do about this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, they'd prolly be closer to being done, so you wouldn't find yourself in the position of "no logger for pizarro", except they got sent to do auction bot fixes and gutenberg mirror respectively, if you recall.
mircea_popescu: which is exactly the point : they're cutting their own trees because they're their own. if you were cutting it, conceivably it'd be with phuctor python, that being yours, and so o.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes 's display not included i dunno why ; phf's not included for the stated reason, obscure cl machine ; lobbes 's not included because in order to be able to patch it, he had to fix various things first, you were here for the "techniocal debt" discussion last year.
mircea_popescu: but fundamentally yes, the reason the tree's not cut exactly to your measure's that you never cut it yourself.
mircea_popescu: well eg in lobbes 's case there's also an auction thing, and the archiving bit, and so on ; in spyked's case there's also a lot of rss and so on.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not sure why phf hadn't, but possibly because it's a finnicky setup on a lispmachine he can't reproduce, ie, the "10 minutes" in that case'd have included a decade's worth of encuntoo-ating whatever cl pile he uses.
mircea_popescu: afaik both the current developments are following code published by trinque that comes off ben_vulpes 's logger. this is perfectly fine, too, and no it's not "10 minutes", again because of all the trims.
mircea_popescu: not being reinvented or anything, just, it's a large thing because of all the trims.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman make a post once you fix it, with the list of what / how you fixed.
mircea_popescu: unsurprisingly, compiler started diverging from the "obsolete" ie functional exception handler.
mircea_popescu: in the meantime, things can be called "liguria" and so on.
mircea_popescu: NOBODY WORTH THE MENTION EVER WAS BLACK. OR EVEN BROWN. GET THE FUCK OVER IT ALREADY, LIES WONT FIX IT!
mircea_popescu: fucking "java". this imbecile fashion to name things after africans already.
mircea_popescu: you know, you can run a ms dos box in a java environment emulated in javascript bytecode!!1
☟︎ mircea_popescu: no fucking way. they "hired" 9000 zeks who were "hired" anyway by virtue of being zeks, to wrap it in crap so "nobody can tell".
mircea_popescu: "Ghidra is a software reverse engineering (SRE) framework developed by NSA's Research Directorate for NSA's cybersecurity mission. " << developed nothing, ida license with serials filed off!!1
mircea_popescu: spyked that works. fwiw i'd keep the look of the thing, manpage-like
mircea_popescu: honestly a sane box should not end up in the state you described, short of doing things to it like alf's easy bake oven.
mircea_popescu: i dunno anything else you could try instead of a reboot anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't dig into it, but noticed the little tab looking at them. now that i think about it, i seem to recall this was actually discussed in log.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have a bunch here, which have a tab! you switch it to permit writing or not!
mircea_popescu: from the other pov, the jbd2/sdb3-8 thing is typically the kernel doing journalling.
