asciilifeform just came back with new bottle incidentally
asciilifeform: a cycle ( by mircea_popescu's own proof from other day ) is repeated ( i.e. rewound ) 1-2 times
asciilifeform: S grows by 1 or 0 bits per cycle. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where do you get this ?
asciilifeform: not tight.
asciilifeform: *upper bound
asciilifeform: ( he will probably disagree, and say 'tight bound is not same as 'say how much memory and cpu'... but fact is, this is not quite the unpredictable game-of-life-style automaton contemplated earlier. )
asciilifeform: so it looks like the current algo lacks the properties 4 and 5 from mircea_popescu's article.
asciilifeform: and incidentally the bound on operations also binds S ( which grows either once or none times per. )
asciilifeform: re mircea_popescu's hash, another observation : it is not ever necessary to actually invert S. ( i will leave the reason for this, again, as an exercise to readers ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: for now asciilifeform is satisfied with having solved own verminiferous problems.
asciilifeform: 'doctor, first delouse thyself' or how did it go.
asciilifeform: and yes american ver. of the saying would probably be the thing where 'roach motel! check in, but never check out'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma learn from the greats, e.g., BingoBoingo , instead!11
asciilifeform goes to shoot his irc client
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu,
asciilifeform: ggerrrrr
asciilifeform: this thing wouldv'e made a great olympiad problem, midnightmagic ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( the average-case is considerably ~below~ N^2. the reason for this will be apparent when reading the proof. )
asciilifeform: and betcha mircea_popescu already found the proof of this.
asciilifeform: O(N^2).
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform found that mircea_popescu's hash has an upper bound of...
asciilifeform: now the ~reverse~ -- could be
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: apparently not here!
asciilifeform: we have this type of train here also, asciilifeform + pet ended up with free ride because conductor could not be arsed..
asciilifeform: aaah aahh the ~reader~
asciilifeform: batteries?!
asciilifeform: tru.
asciilifeform: ( found -- possibly -- the thread, though it wasn't re proglangs : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-28#1620042 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( i.e. not a problem that reasonably gets a final solution, but rather shifting sets of engineering compromises )
asciilifeform: aha, or transportation.
asciilifeform: but that it remains an open problem.
asciilifeform: hey i did not say 'they cannot be cut'
asciilifeform: 'delousing' and 'procrust'
asciilifeform: it isn't clear to me that these can be cut
asciilifeform: ved _all_ their investments in their people this way, because it is as unhealthy for a market with disproportionate power in the hands of employees as it is with disproportionate power in the hands of employers...'
asciilifeform: '...C/C++ are quite interesting languages from a marxist point of view, too (it being May 1 and all): they are so bad that any professional who wants to do interesting work needs to learn new tools all the time and have the employer pay for it. the means of production are thus removed from the hands of the owners into the hands of the workers in a very new way. if the employers were any smart, they would not use languages that remo
asciilifeform: http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3134574475962391@naggum.no.html << oblig naggum on subj
asciilifeform: ( somewhat unrelatedly , i find the fact of google and crapple each adopting a proprietary shitlang, to be a fascinating thing from 'labour politics' pov -- was it an attempt to put a damper on 'poaching' of workers ? or something else. )
asciilifeform: not, note, phf's.
asciilifeform: about sina's proggy.
asciilifeform: but does the n00b know.
asciilifeform: rather than 'hey this is great candy, but why do i feel funny'
asciilifeform: because if i see an l1 fella eating rat poison, even a very very sweet one, i'd like him to at least be aware of what it is he is doing
asciilifeform: sure.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: y'know, toxicologists who insist on personally tasting every sample, generally do not have long, illustrious career
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it certainly oughta. but this was not the light in which i saw the thread.
asciilifeform: and the thing about glue traps, is that 'entry is a buck, exit -- two'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where i ( and , as in linked threads, in the past, mircea_popescu also ) observe that golang is not 'simply another prog lang' but a carefully built intellectual gluetrap for the naive and energetic
asciilifeform screws in fresh gas mask filter
asciilifeform: which is why observation is not about the drinkers of shit, but re clean-shaved western idiots who point and call 'alternate hygiene, just as good if not better than ours'
asciilifeform: ( e.g. consider auschwitz )
asciilifeform: poor hygiene is not necessarily chosen
asciilifeform: it is.
asciilifeform: orthogonal to the fact of them drinking it
asciilifeform: as i see it yes
asciilifeform: i dun see the disconnect.
asciilifeform: i dun see it.
asciilifeform: but just as honest surgeon will not point to bangladeshis drinking from rivers of shit and call it 'alternate hygiene, just as good' -- i also will not.
asciilifeform: dunno how we ended up discussion 'prohibitions' -- asciilifeform hasn't the power or desire to confiscate d00d's keyboard for churning out whatever liquishit.
asciilifeform: nor will 'aid and abet'.
asciilifeform: i regard my duty of 'showing' to be fulfilled, when i state, without any strong emotion, that i will not run golang, nor encourage others to do so.
asciilifeform: now this is so.
asciilifeform: i dun subscribe.
asciilifeform: 'if d00d fell into sin, he was already hellbound'
asciilifeform: very 'calvin' pov here, neh
asciilifeform: i dun get it
asciilifeform: ( i have not ever visited a cement plant in person yet either )
asciilifeform: no moar so than bakeries, or cement factories.
asciilifeform: rly
asciilifeform: brothels ain't an organized effort to take a massive shit in my fits-in-headization of the comp.
asciilifeform: just never met an appetizing one, yet.
asciilifeform: again nope
asciilifeform: nope
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, trinque: problem , imho, falls into the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-27#1674857 class. ☝︎
asciilifeform: trinque: understand, asciilifeform's barf is not in response to 'd00d wrote a proggy in piglang' but to the notion that it is perhaps a thing to be considered for serious deployment, and an experiment that ought to be replicated by other folx who do not normally keep piglang on their iron
asciilifeform: either kill the funny looking white invader -- or learn his tongue, yes
asciilifeform: the way i see it, it is the duty of a serious n00b , who wants to become an adult practitioner of whatever black art , to learn a human lang like french, english, german, etc , rather than to expect the learned folx to learn his piglang, quechua, whichever...
asciilifeform: in cobol, even, if they feel like.
asciilifeform: let'em.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-19#1468551 << possibly here ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( found, so far, only the 'baited hook', http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-19#1468576 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: i keep having the thought that we had this thread already, in the past..
asciilifeform: it wants whole planet of liquishit, that apparently one is expected to simply get in binary (?) and swallow whole
asciilifeform: but to date i have not even succeeded in building clang ! despite trying a number of times, because the lattice fpga thing needs it
asciilifeform: lulzily, i am not averse to experimenting with heathen whatevers, i even have an isolated leprosorium for infected winblowz.
asciilifeform: and the gain -- quite illusory.
asciilifeform: because it is a ludicrous proposition -- massive ball of shit, that makes gcc look compact and fits-in-head.
asciilifeform: i will not be 'adopting' and maintaining it and its deps, and so far no one has stepped up to the job
asciilifeform: what we have in the golang thing, is a loaded camel for carrying multi-GB of heathen liquishit into tmsr intellectual infrastructure .
asciilifeform: if speed is all you want, asm beckons.
asciilifeform: and in fact doesn't need 'thousand man years to fix the mismatches' because it HAS no mismatches with the iron.
asciilifeform: mno. a forth is a few Kb and 0 deps.
asciilifeform: the way asciilifeform is still living with python
asciilifeform: you get to live with it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the problem is that shooting the jane fonda doesn't cure the syphilis and hiv.
asciilifeform: interestingly 'golang' is a pretty straight ripoff of 'D' (by digital mars co.)
asciilifeform: otherwise it is a camel's nose, an infiltration of enemy.
asciilifeform: again , it ain't about crud languages. it is about systems, and people. if, e.g., sina, wants to ADOPT golang, and maintain it, such that nothing that happens in tmsr is EVER subject to the whims of genderfuckers at google hq -- no python3isms, no 'language is evolving', no 'you need gcc7 to build this', no 'we no longer support ppc and 386, fuckyou' -- then it can be considered
asciilifeform: sure did
