trinque: I didn't write docs for it yet

ben_vulpes: i'm fair loathe to make more entries in an informal, non-republican dht

trinque: isn't in mine; gimme a bit and I'll ping you, pete_dushenski.

ben_vulpes: trinque: should i be looking somewhere besides http://deedbot.org/faq.html ?

ben_vulpes: "fuck i look like? i'm lookin for a bitch that can fuck right, cook right. and if not, then left foot, right, get to steppin, yeah bitch walk like."

asciilifeform: i.e. folks who reach arch N too quickly after reaching arch 1.

asciilifeform: several years ago, a massive toll road opened where i live. if you go on it from one end to the other, you go through a dozen or so rfid arches.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: from my own experiments, and i hate to be the one to rain on the 'cheap blaster' parade - ir laser does not go far outdoors in the air. unless said air is peculiarly dry.

asciilifeform: (i will point out, it is not necessary for camera 'a' and 'b' to be sprouting from the same cabinet, though afaik they usually do)

ben_vulpes: it's be a pretty pricey project, i don't really expect anyone to fund it.

pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: aha. listened to 'no ceilings' maybe 6 months ago for the first time and was relatively unimpressed. on the other hand i just found an unlabeled cd in my car that turned out to be 'drought iii' and i'm currently quite enjoying the walk down memory lane.

asciilifeform: the enemy is dull, but not so dull that he does not grasp the most hospitable place on the tank's armour to stick the mine onto. i.e. lock up as much coin as possible behind chastity belts of whatever possible kind.

gabriel_laddel: dina_corman: I don't have the disk space to download all of them, but if you could get all the funtoo stage3 tarballs too, would be great.

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: if you make a new pgp key, i will rate you

asciilifeform: (c programmer assumes that 'i am sitting on the metal' and ergo anything he is not seeing, is not in the picture)

ben_vulpes: perhaps unfair, but i am irked.

ben_vulpes: on a different topic am i crazy or are bitcoin /pubkeys/ serialized in the blockchain big-endianly and /ripmd160 pubkey hashes/ serialized little-endianly?

a111: Logged on 2016-08-25 22:58 mircea_popescu: i think it is past your bedtime, yes. come back fresh tomorrow.

adlai: looks like i'm too fuck to drunk, i'll http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-25#1529463 ☝︎

adlai: by which count ( http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-19#1327189 )... i'm not a person! ☝︎

trinque: am I supposed to buy homeopathic cures from you on the same grounds?

trinque: I've done acid something like 10 times. Where was the something interesting?

adlai: does it count as evading if i explain my paraphrase rather than citing strunk and white?

adlai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551909 << in this case, i'm gonna "blame the mice", or in other words -- and i can't find the exact 'logs' here, but it's iirc Leary -- "you can meditate for ten years and achieve nothing, but take a decimated milligram of lysergic acid dimethylamide, and something interesting is guaranteed to happen" ☝︎

adlai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551827 << correct me if i'm wrong, but does "logs" include http://www.xach.com/naggum/* ? ☝︎

adlai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551821 << after reading preceding thread (and i must say: machine code logs > all other logs), i now wonder if i'm not a lisp programmer, nor a cl programmer, nor even an sbcl or ccl programmer, but a "ql:quickload programmer" ☝︎

asciilifeform: one of the reasons i'm not playing eulora.

asciilifeform: with open, i mean, driver.

mircea_popescu: i suspect that by 2020, ~everything will cease to be supported

mircea_popescu: to be honest, i do not think the current "open source" has five years left in it.

asciilifeform: i was addressing jurov's more general http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551943 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i expect as we clean that up i'll be in a better position to make sense.

mircea_popescu: and by "major performance degrading" i mean that same machine, same os, same code runs at 150 fps with pre and ad 1.5 fps with post. no otehr symptoms.

mircea_popescu: actually i'm currently chasing a major performance degrading bug which seems to be related to directx version > 8.

mircea_popescu: i guess.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what are your players playing on ? i personally have very little idea, except that i notice that you support winblows and ergo some substantial number of them are lusers. and may well be 'walking into shop, buy lappy'

mircea_popescu: the moore is dead. it's just as dead here as it was when i killed gavin with it. dead is dead, and objective reality means universal properties.

mircea_popescu: but from what i see, ~nobody has "newest" video card.

jurov: You see, I was asked to operate eulora vendor channels, and just gave up exactly bacause of this. It needs team of monkeys to keep up.

asciilifeform: but i have nfi, i am not the one to ask!

asciilifeform: jurov: i wouldn't put it past him to sell a 'game console' for it at some point

jurov: Is mircea going to do this for eulora? I missed it.

PeterL: I think she knows that one already

PeterL: well, I hang around with a 10 yo girl a lot, sometimes it rubs off

mircea_popescu: think of starting a wood fire. "many trunks in the forest, including mine and friends' i saw, had zippo lighter approached to trunk - nothing happened"

mircea_popescu: as that pacino character aptly points out, "i'm chippin'"

mircea_popescu: we are discussing very unlikely situations here. back when i was a kid, codeine as a phosophorous salt was the child cough remedy ; i took plenty ; so did other kids. did ~nothing. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: specifically, that male self-hate tends to reject the world (which is what "i hit rock bottom" always is - it is insanity to imagine the addict understands the world in your terms, and "Has seen reason" ; no such thing, he just activated a peculiar, and reasonably well understood, psychological process. no rationality involved) whereas in females tends to reject the self.

mircea_popescu: there's some biological factors to account for this, both directly (shittier metabolism ; stronger response to neurotransmitters ; the venereal 50/5 trap etc) and indirect (through the workings of sexuate reproduction women are always vandable) ; but i'm pretty sure there's also psychological factors involved. ☟︎

asciilifeform: (but not living in their company, i have deeply nfi.)

mircea_popescu: i suppose not enough faux "women in tech" to satisfy teh libtards.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i need an interpretation guide for your last post. what am i seeing ?

mircea_popescu: genuine, i;m sure.

a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 18:23 mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20161003/#340 << yes. as we speak diana_coman is busy at work making snapsnots of linuxen. because it's obvious from practice that the way this goes is "i can't install eulora on linux" "we tested this" "but i can't". then upon extensive and expensive research it turns out... THEY CHANGED THE FUCKING DISTRO. breaking software. because why not.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551829 << i run into 1,001 instances of this whenever trying to build nearly ANYTHING i-didn't-write-myself from source. ☝︎

PeterL: I guess there is something to be said for not doing everything at once, makes it easier to understand

PeterL: so I am working on porting the parachute scripts to python, does this look better as multiple or single line? http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/z1jyt/?raw=true

trinque: Framedragger: I can help you fix that python error; ping me when available. ☟︎

shinohai: Well I certainly learned the merits of preserving an older gcc this weekend

ben_vulpes: not that i'm claiming to understand what the machine is doing.

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20161003/#340 << yes. as we speak diana_coman is busy at work making snapsnots of linuxen. because it's obvious from practice that the way this goes is "i can't install eulora on linux" "we tested this" "but i can't". then upon extensive and expensive research it turns out...

a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 15:33 asciilifeform: think 'old version.' if there existed a medieval gcc, i'd at least consider it.

mircea_popescu: there's a fucking right way to do things, and this arbitrary "i shall now be a becoming actress" ain't it.

mircea_popescu: i'm not eating fucking turnip pie.

mircea_popescu: "i will now make apple pie out of turnips, because here in new york all we have is turnips. mmmmm delicious apple pie, new-york style. the angel morni told me so!"

mircea_popescu: no dude. the reason the disease perpetuates itself is the functionally illiterate product of the stunted intellectual life in the colonies ; whereby there's this outpour of idiots who imagine "what i can do" is an acceptable limit of "what i shall do". so they'll be writing things in c "because that's what i know".

mircea_popescu: i suppose the solution everyone uses is to declare a special class made of arbitrary length bitfields and define procedures on it such as these.

mircea_popescu: myeah. except the one in my head ; cuz if i had made cpus then add dword 0xAABBCCDD, 0xAABBCCDD = 557799BA and adc dword 0xAABBCCDD, 0xAABBCCDD = 557799BA + set carry bit. but then again i dun make them.

mircea_popescu: myeah ; color me satisfied. i thought you have to use adc to pop it and push it both.

mircea_popescu: i'd say we are adding two ints to two consecutive memory maps, but w/e.

asciilifeform: let's say i'd like to add two 128-bit ints together.

asciilifeform: i will give example here, to nail in the point: ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i suppose these are unrelated complaints.

mircea_popescu: i spent 100s of engineer-hours fixing the idiocy of "int" not being 64 bit ; it's a disaster for human productivity directly comparable to the black death.

mircea_popescu: i dunno man. "This looks (to me) as good C code as it gets. However, this code triggers undefined behavior: after the first iteration of the loop frees the node pointed to by head, it is undefined behavior to perform the tmp != head comparison, even though head is not dereferenced." << if this looks like good c to him he would have flunked my higschool class.

asciilifeform: e.g., 'Pointer arithmetic. In the good old times, an int and a pointer used to have the same size. People happily used ints as array indices. Array indexing is just pointer arithmetic, and in some architectures (like x86), you can often perform the pointer arithmetic plus load in a single instruction. Then came 64-bit architectures. For reasons I don't really get (compatibility?), on x86-64 and other 64-bit architectures ints remaine

phf: that second link looks like alternative take on cdrcoding, but since the first post started with "i read on twitter from discussion on hacker news"..

mircea_popescu: all the various "c-with-serials-filed-off-because-i-wanna-john-smith-all-over-the-place" inherit this bizarre property.

mircea_popescu: one node higher from that : i was unaware anyone involved actually had the subjective mechanism of indentity. it works like this "don't do that, only gypsies do that, we're not gypsies". that's identity. whereas who in c ever said anything of the kind ?

mircea_popescu: i thought it was like the romanian language, a subjective superset of all languages.

mircea_popescu: this is the first time i hear c had an identity.

mircea_popescu: i suppose a machete esp in the rula style as seen there is a very credible cavalry sword.

asciilifeform: looked like umbrella when i saw

shinohai: I can't make it out, looked very close to a dried bovine penis for all I can tell.

shinohai: I consider asciilifeform the republican authority on impalement methods

asciilifeform: think 'old version.' if there existed a medieval gcc, i'd at least consider it. ☟︎

asciilifeform: who said i did not like.

asciilifeform: for n00bz and perhaps also for mircea_popescu , i will add the note here, that lisp folk don't generally ~read~ the parens, they read the indentation. this requires proper tools, such that the possibility of encountering misindented crapola is ~= 0.

trinque: I have no idea whether ccl is a good idea (tm) (r)

trinque: clozure cl seems to work for what I need

phf: needless to say, i have no idea what i'm doing(r)(c)

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551544 << sbcl already has an arm port, courtesy of nyef. i am doing the same work for cmucl, but i'm very far from actually getting there. i'm going by armv7 with vfpv3-d16, mostly because that's what ccl does and their code is imho most readable ☝︎

phf: hmm, fair question, but i don't remember, i can't remember if tab even indents to the right place, i'll check in a bit

asciilifeform: phf: interlisp had a graphical 'structure editor', i have never used it, and now i wonder if the {} thing was slightly less braindamaged given the context of having it.

asciilifeform: i like having the [], {}, etc. available for readtableisms.

asciilifeform: now i COULD see mapping a key on kbd to 'shit out enough ) to balance'

asciilifeform: phf: i don't see how this is needed for fexprs

phf: i think it was a thing in vogue at some point, back when fexprs were still in the back of everyones minds

phf: i was looking at some mit cadr source and they do some totally insane stuff with parenthesis closing/opening

asciilifeform: i dare say it removes most of the fucking point of using sexprs in the first place
