mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "god's own voltmeter", here, denotes
the glossa aka
tongue.
mod6: asciilifeform: hmm, alright, for now just wot paste it
to me and I'll update
the foundation website.
mircea_popescu: "maybe busted invisibly ?" when LO!! it's one of
those idiotic amd boards
that do not do diag, and if hardware config changed it locks. gotta short
the RCTL pins
to get it
to look in its belly!
mircea_popescu: so i look for busted caps, but strangely enough...
there's no busted caps. AT ALL.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: moreover, god's own voltmeter revealed
that
the ~spare~ was as dead as a plain quarter ; whereas
the item in
the mobo originally was quite rhubarby.
mircea_popescu: so i figure, who knows, maybe
the cmos battery died, right ? it can happen, i suppose. went for
the spare, but... no improvement.
mircea_popescu: and yet...
the led light was on...
the fans spun... but
the video dead as dead can be. it wouldn't initialize
the numlock light, even!
mircea_popescu: would ~not even post!~. i dug up
through
the piles of forgotten disused shit until i found a speaker
thingee. it had no beeps
to make.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in sad news of hardware, i had
to power down a motherboard
that had been going for a long, LONG
time. and
then... it wouldn't come back up.
mod6: yeah,
that's binary
mod6: weird, i must have grabbed
the wrong one from btcbase, was still binary
mod6: are you going
to post your new ascii-armored sig
to
the ML?
mircea_popescu: curl prolly also getting ablated, but a
thing at a
time.
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
there aren't many deps really (and we would like
to have even fewer, working on
that); it's zlib, curl, libmysqlclient, cal3d and cs
mircea_popescu: in other probably good news,
there's hope
there's gonna be a gpr eulora server next week. inconceivably enough
the whole
thing can apparently be beaten into obedience.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also notice
that jurov's
thing was very strict for a long
time, and you
threw a hissy fit every
time! nomoar of
that, either!

the 'postel's law' nonsense, of silently forgiving people who send liquishit at
the dusty disused corners of
the protocol, enabling
there
to even ~be~ such a
thing as dusty corners in a protocol!, MUST die.
ben_vulpes: there is always "evil mode" if you don't want
to spend a month programming your own chords up front
trolololol
ben_vulpes: i don't even want
to
think about
the code, compile, run loop outside of
the emacs
toiletron
ben_vulpes: lobbes: you have
the
thing running in a repl, right?
mircea_popescu: so no. if you sign it properly for
the first
time, it is signed properly for
the first
time.
mircea_popescu: wtf is wrong with you. some
things aren't worth fixing.
lobbes: yeah, looking like I'm gonna need
to bite
the bullet and learn some emacs already

turns out,
the orig
theoretical model was a 1989 su item, kostylev & astanin's 'основы сверхширокополосных радиолокационных измерений' .
then in early 2000s anglo academitards picked it up, and in 2009 subj 'died' after usg dictate 'i
lobbes: problem is I can't even figure out -where-
the
thing is failing. Just.. silently doesn't work. I got
to figure out how logging works with sbcl REPL I guess
lobbes: ben_vulpes: Ah okay,
thank you. Perhaps my postgres installation is borked w/ regards
to
threading
then
ben_vulpes: lobbes:
that
the outbox
table has entries in it suggests
that logbot-start-pg-thread was never called
☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-07-22 17:02 asciilifeform: as for 'uwb',
they were content
to issue ban edicts, and
then for good measure
to bernsteinize all of
the remaining 'experts'
they could get
to.

that butterfly is not quite perfect 'clean air gauge' : i've seen monarchs fluttering in
the dourest cement jungles of usgistan.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-04 15:09 asciilifeform: oh upstack re radios,
the 'why not use aperidic wave, and entire spectrum'
thing was of course not long ago hannobockized and redhatized by usg shills, as 'uwb (ultrawideband)' and 'regulated' and other rubbish.
mircea_popescu: (something very similar was
the original impetuus for mp asking ben_vulpes for candi [where is she btw ?] only
to
then discover after a whole day of basic-training-with-admirals
that in fact
the memory footprint for what i had in mind was ~infinite)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: nevertheless, fwih lisp is exactly ideal for
this sort of
tokenize-and-replace job. cuz ai and everything right ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: spykedbot well,
the google
translate approach is dubious at best, but at least ~it handles all inputs~.
this is an important property.
☟︎☟︎ hanbot: ah, okay. i misread as gt
test run.

☟︎ spyked should improve
the matching algorithm
though. should allow for partial matches and selecting from multiple matches somehow.
spyked: google

this
to "give it a fork". wtf.

spyked: re. dictionary, I could also add google
translate, but I expect
that performs badly for expressions. let's
take for example...
spyked: that makes sense. most of
the sun blocked here is by a
thick wall of
trees outside
the window.
spyked: the
thing I dun get is: bucharest is (if we're
to believe official stats) one of
the most polluted
towns in europe. so why no birds in geneva.
they must do something
to keep
them away.

☟︎ spyked: mircea_popescu, yeah. looks up words from asciilifeform's
text dictionaries.

this might be
the key re why mosquito hell in usa 'suburbia' --
the only public land
there, is
the asphalt. ( who wants spraying , has
to specifically pay , and
they come and spray out poison
that kills errything
that moves, frogs, cats, dogs, etc )
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-21#1836965 <-- also, bucharest has a stable population of sparrows and other small birds during spring and summer (this in addition
to
the usual pigeons). some swallows, blackbirds, I've even seen woodpeckers at
times.
this in stark contrast
to "civilized world"
towns, where 0 birds, I've no idea what keeps
them away.
☝︎ lobbes: I'm seeing
the NOTIFY messages in postgres when I insert into
the outbox
table, so I
think
the
triggers are working. Log
table is also getting inserts which confirms
that irc/sbcl/postgres are interfacing. I'm
trying
to rule out any obvious
things I might be missing
lobbes: trinque, ben_vulpes, I can't seem
to get logbot
to send messages from
the 'outbox'
table. Could either of you confirm
that I'm entering data into
the 'outbox.target' field in
the right format? (e.g. does it need
to be a 'raw' IRC message instead?) >>
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/lRoDB/?raw=true mircea_popescu: but yes, all of fetlife is public, idle posturing
to
the contrary notwithstanding.
