asciilifeform: ( the promisetronics with 'difficult to read with microscope, believe!11' thing is, as i gather, for the various folx in the biz of loading $circuit into fpga and selling 'as asic' , it isn't of great interest to asciilifeform in particular )
asciilifeform: can't say i have
asciilifeform can't muster excitement for the coke-vs-pepsi tourney
asciilifeform: phf: if it were simply 'colorizer' i wouldn't bother.
BingoBoingo: Apparently it isn't just the peanut butter
asciilifeform: mega-petrostan, that can't make hydraulic fluid
BingoBoingo: Apparently transmission fluid can't be had at any price
mircea_popescu: and your mom told your brother "don't beat him, don't you see how uselessly helpless he is ?!" as opposed to the adult "fuck him, if he can't defend himself it's your duty to cull his dumbass."
mircea_popescu still can't forget, during his visit in a troglodyte "best part of" nicaragua, how the socialist party organized event centerpiece was some moron singing "con dinero o sin dinery yo siguo siendo el rey" bla bla bla
mircea_popescu: im sorry, i can't read this.
mircea_popescu: i don't care they call themselves "students", "intellectuals", "consultants", "public oppinion", "transsexuals" or anything else, jesus fuck.
mircea_popescu: by the algo "la household carrying mn in debt it can't service poorer in fact than ghana farmer with yearly surplus"
asciilifeform: and even then t had to wait for 2 decades for his
mircea_popescu: (and no, eminently NOT "the question is being put to you". because that's the fucking meaning of "offer you can't refuse", also transliterated as "fate took a hand" and so on -- there's two kinds of questions. the kind that goes "would you like waffles for breakfast" is NOT "also a question just like" the kind that goes "would you like to go to qatar". some questions are put to you ; but then again sometimes you are put to so
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 16:22 mircea_popescu: think of the whole opposability angle, will you. 1. alf : "your summaries suck" 2. bimbo "master, is this true ?" now i'm stuck. i'm not going to do a 3.b. "yes, because i like him" and i can't do a 3.a. "yes, because ~SOMETHING~" as the something's an undefined symbol.
asciilifeform: i do expect mircea_popescu will say 'nah, we're in the 'make offer you can't refuse' biz', but seems like they refused, neh
mircea_popescu: eh, whatever. the history of mankind on earth chiefly consists of a string of "couldn't find way out of paper bag, died next to coconut tree" and so on. why should qatar be special.
mircea_popescu: "allah blesses, but doesn't chase you down the street with it" or how did it go.
mircea_popescu: Mocky ah, the fact wasn't in dispute.
Mocky: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=Qatar+reshuffles+cabinet&t=ffab&df=d&ia=news
a111: Logged on 2018-11-06 15:08 mircea_popescu: Mocky_ in some real lulz, that spglobal.com site doesn't even load here ; either it's google hosted or i guess cloudflare proxied or who even knows/cares by now, "shitstack" generically.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i rather agree, qatar didn't manage to do anything with my http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-01#1846537 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Mocky_ in some real lulz, that spglobal.com site doesn't even load here ; either it's google hosted or i guess cloudflare proxied or who even knows/cares by now, "shitstack" generically. ☟︎
Mocky: I don't know where else to go with this, mircea_popescu. I don't see anymore strings to pull on
mod6: I would probably use slate + chalk myself if I wasn't so weirdly obsessive about needing to keep the board clean. I'd feel like I'd have to wash it all the time after erasure.
mircea_popescu: (perhaps pointing out how "the international women's guild" trying to get a sort of geneva convention going banning 4ever and ever smoking^H^H^H^H i mean rape^H^H^H^H using black soldiers in europe never got anywhere worth a chuckle. they didn't believe women back in the [other] 20s or what was it, helga the rhine rivetteer couldn't do it.)
BingoBoingo: As far as I can tell they don't dream of Edward's alt-England either
BingoBoingo: They also don't borrow much from the rich French and Russian anti-semetic traditions
BingoBoingo: Ah, yeah, they don't seem to go back much further than the 1930's
a111: Logged on 2018-10-30 13:07 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-30#1867432 << thinking about it, yes i agree the jew-nazi has a more colorful life story. but think about it : his entire's life work, his sum total accomplishment, is being an aide to an obscure publisher of inconsequential tracts. this is exactly danielpbarron 's position, and it ain't much. that florida beauty queen had them beat, for instance, and she had them beat a) in her 20s, while these
asciilifeform: it isn't actually practical, as i currently understand, to build a large, nontrivial proggy with all of the restrict pragmas switched on.
bvt: myeah, i solved it by maximally recreating the ffa project structure, so can't say i did anything informed by the 'first principles' there.
bvt: ok, i have figured out one solution to the problem (at least on gnat 2017): can't have Ada.Sequential_IO specialization in the GPR_Project'Main file
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> but jokes on me, nobody got ruffled feathers because they weren't advocating daos, just raising awareness! starting the conversation! they agreed with me! << It's what orcs do. How much hashish do you estimate the other attendees ate prior to showing up?
asciilifeform: * amstan_ is now known as amstan << lol! that d00d is still here, i can't properly picture why
Mocky: but jokes on me, nobody got ruffled feathers because they weren't advocating daos, just raising awareness! starting the conversation! they agreed with me!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> anyway, it's fucking lulzy to me how the dumb shit always comes back to "psychic unity of mankind" nonsense. << Well, in this case I don't see how Hegel isn't the daddy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didn't say it was 'same thing', yes it comes with the grandfather of all shitstacks (20+GB of liquishit) . it's for simulating designs, not for deploying ( why wouldja deploy anyffing on such a thing, it makes cluster of pc look vehehery cheap and 'opensores'y by comparison )
Mocky: felt like "yeah he's a mile down the road, can't miss it"
Mocky: i didn't ahve time to make it over there before ministry closes at 2pm, sigh
Mocky: went down to the ministry of transportation and communitications today to book an appointment. they told me he wasn't at that building but the other ministry building
mircea_popescu: anyways, more in the general, there's a LOT of merit to dennis hopper's monologue in http://trilema.com/2013/true-romance-tarantino-cut/ : "he didn't think to tell me... and i didn't think to ask".
mircea_popescu: right. and his bitness doesn't enter into it, though i didn't pick it up. literally, prime-count bus same cost.
diana_coman: lol, I never quite understood wtf it is with US that they can't even come up with new names for places or what
mircea_popescu: moscow IDAHO. this is a thing now, fucking paris, texas wan't good enough for these people. they gotta have a moscow also.
asciilifeform: can't always source grade a+ wolf...
a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 04:47 mircea_popescu: http://mocky.org/Qatar-Financial-Center/ <<< top fucking keks. really, arab don't keep appointment ?! this is some next level shit, never heard of it b4.
Mocky: nominally because neighbors claim 'allowed terrorist donations' but i don't know the actual why
Mocky: i can't think of a good why not
mircea_popescu: hence the whole effort in ffa, which is nothing else and nothing besides a switching harness for 64 bit cpu so it doesn't leak data while switching it for a 8192 native byte.
Mocky: I don't know rsa maths well enough to say
Mocky: if a fetch from memory grabs 32 bits, and the data is 32 bits on the memory side and the register side then you don't need the switch
mircea_popescu: that's a list, you don't care.
mircea_popescu: a direct line is a bus, see. if you switch it's a switched line, if you don't switch it's a bus line. if you packet it's "a data pathway".
mircea_popescu: why don't they fab chips anyway ? got plenty of sand yes ?
mircea_popescu: http://mocky.org/Qatar-Financial-Center/ <<< top fucking keks. really, arab don't keep appointment ?! this is some next level shit, never heard of it b4. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: until then I can't even blog my recent conversion to beach running
BingoBoingo: I keep getting distracted by not quite fixes that let the thing show a dashboard for one page load, as much as I would like it to be top of my list it can't today
BingoBoingo: I can't keep it alive
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i'm willing to bet there's something grossly misconfigured ; item doesn't have memory issues normally.
billymg: and at this point i'm just trying to build my reputation so wouldn't be looking for anything beyond a fair rating
asciilifeform: i've built, fwiw, for mips ( 32 an' 64 -wide ), for arm (ditto), even for 'microblaze' ( spoiler: not an actual iron, but xilinx's oddball 'demo cpu', exists nowhere else but 'virtex' demo boards, of which i have an embarrassingly tall pile ) -- but i ain't ever built for s390, or 68k ...
BingoBoingo: No, there isn't. There are knobs that influence the range of memory footprints mysql will sit in, and none of them appear to be able to be turned meaningfully down on a living database.
asciilifeform: ideally proggy would be distributed as a ast in sexpr, and we wouldn't have 'tabs & spaces' thread. but we aint there yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fact all your terminals suck isn't an argument in this convo. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but yes, i ask your terminal be aware of the syntax. it must be. because the alternative is having me be aware of your terminal -- and that ain't occurring.
mircea_popescu: i don't see it'd destroy any such thing.
mircea_popescu: sounds like you're in the market for a printer driver that doesn't suck.
mircea_popescu: so printers can't flow now ?
mircea_popescu: and if emacs can't do this, emacs is plain and unadulterated garbage is all.
mircea_popescu: hey. i won't mandate her she write long lines, if she manages in 80 cols all the better. but i will mandate she dun do " & " bullshit.
mircea_popescu: in any case i don't want control bits spuriously pissed into the stream. what next, <em> ?
mircea_popescu: IF you can't configure your termina, either get a better one or understand you're at fault for your own pain. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: keep in mind that it ain't 'text', tho, it's a proggy, the line is a semantic unit
Mocky: more like trust Allah and don't be the faithless one studying knots
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I know but I still don't fully buy it, it seems
diana_coman: onth I suppose that the 80cols rule either is or isn't, so it should apply even to strings that make no sense split, a bit of cutting to fit the bed style
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 20:11 Mocky: i can't stomach php, which probably sounds rich coming from hardcore java dude. my www is static files and one old school cgi to python for comments
Mocky: hey! i didn't want to wasted time implementing a big comment thing when i get 1 comment per month
Mocky: I don't have moderate per se. I have a manual process where by if i type in "pull-comments.sh" i see if there are new comments to manually copy paste into the document
mircea_popescu: (do you have a knob so i don't have to be moderated every single time ? cuz that's a major chill factor)
mircea_popescu: lmao, that's rich, work slowdown the factory bosses don't even fucking notice.
jurov: I don't get why I should run the auction and not mod6 but let's try
hanbot: t and a by now insanely oversaturated market, i can't imagine anything less than hundreds of hours/week is going to save it. i don't have the hours to make it my sole concern, but i do have some to help out. i think it'd be a shame to kinda decoupage some tasks here and there to a floundering ship. as much as i'd like to see it sail, seems obvious to me that here and there won't cut it at all.
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-30#1867497 << not even so much interest, i was more or less drafted. i'm happy to do whatever i can, but i see multiple issues here; i don't in any case want to take your seat, and honestly i don't think "outreach" is a splinter of the foundation's operation, fit for a single person. afaik it's the core of what the thing was supposed to do, and the core of its failure to date, and given a potentially unbounded budge ☝︎
asciilifeform: can't make head or tail of this, aha
mircea_popescu: as perhaps evidenced by the fact you... can't custom, even if for inexplicable reasons you'd want to.
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine they get that much custom.
mircea_popescu: usure it doesn't tho ?
asciilifeform: doesn't even need 10nM or anyffing of the kind
asciilifeform: ( it doesn't win 'vs pc' other than as proof of concept )
asciilifeform: there isn't very much remaining, fwiw: 1) evaluation of ave1's gnat (ch12) 2) barrett 3) miller-rabin.
mircea_popescu: shinohai your only available position here is "here is what i now understand to have been doing wrong, and shan't be fucking doing again, as exemplified by this excessively costly self sacrifice". not fucking "hey guise, buddy-buddy, are you gonna change to fit me in THIS time or do i come back whenever later try again". ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( doubled as a heater, at one time i lived in a flat where they didn't stoke the boiler till december )
trinque: isn't a republican way to mind your wife either.
trinque: this has been expanding into a general principle in my life, of the matters that are republican, and the matters that aren't.
trinque: beelzebub can own as many stupid things that shouldn't exist as he likes, from where I sit. google wants smtp mail, oh please, have a second helping.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1869016 << this is prolly a neato item but (to the possible surprise of some people) asciilifeform doesn't 'live in emacs' in the sense of using it for things that ain't files-on-disk editing ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: but asciilifeform "couldn't", then. and i guess we're going to terribly regret not sending in fucking helicopters to extract him from the concentration camp he ended up into through stubbornly refusing to fucking leave on his own two feet for a decade.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's actually a return to 'vhs era' barbarism, prior to at&t breakup they also leased pnoje , could not buy )
