a complete clim implementation.
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel> Framedragger: have you managed to turn off the wifi on your x220 such that it won't re-enable when you toggle the hardware switch again? << cut the antenna wires with
a pair of Kleins or Dykes?
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: After doing
a bit of gardening this weekend, and the science thereof, I'm
a bit disappointed in the all the "cool kids" who made fun of the "Horticulture Kids"
mod6: mircea_popescu:
a fair point. we have been pretty frugal. we have considered paying for
a few things, but they never were fully baked.
mircea_popescu: it's good to be able to say you know, here, we have
a track record of usefulness, trust us.
mircea_popescu: mod6 the main consideration there, strategically, would be that while foundation's conservative finances are certainly the path to victory, the absence of any and all expenditures is probably by now becoming
a drag - why'd someone donate his tax dues when the coin is just going to sit ? he might as well donate it mentally and let it sit in his own pocket. sooner or later something will hafta be done, or else why bother. somet
trinque knows
a method that works every time
mircea_popescu: opengl owned the video market for
a decade, did nothing with it so microshit could catch up.
mircea_popescu: apparently in
a contest with
a popular revolutionary, the best way to lose is to play establishment. everyone eats your vote.
mircea_popescu: depends dood. lenin lived in
a swisshole for 30 years.
gabriel_laddel: To answer my own question: living in
a foxhole for 25 years turns you into
a faggot who thinks oakland is "up and coming"
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I will be, but as of yet have not even googled for
a guide on how to do so.
phf: gabriel_laddel: franz have been living in frontline foxholes since before you knew what
a computer was, i don't think masamune is there yet to judge their methods
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: as
a "client": kiwiirc on
a bad connection, beirc if in the mood or default to emacs "host": nfi, never done it.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel prolly best to have both your own logger and
a 2nd backup. redundancy ftw.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah ima do the one where marisa tomei is
a stripper next i think
gabriel_laddel: I have nfi, just saw that they utilize
a cffi at some point. I interviewed at franz and talked with them about it (this is why it was released?) -- they have no vision and I consider anything they touch to be tainted.
gabriel_laddel: It has useful comments too, but the CFFI makes it
a no-go for me.
trinque: that said if phf is happy to run
a logger for you, his own log-viewer is pretty damned fly
phf: logger right now is
a big ball of mud that includes V, parts of bitcoin protocol, logger itself with xref, irc bot and
a kitchen sink of entire lisp ecosystem :>
phf: check your pm, but since that's
a public question, i'll also answere here. i'm not going to go through work of releasing of logger in the immediate future, but i can dedicate some time to making sure logger can attach and track multiple channels, host masamune logs for you. this is aligned with
a cleanup work that i was going to do, and i might as well do it next
trinque: hm, that has
a result, but wrong one
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Requires
a "True Texan"(TM)(R) who actually has kalash
trinque: on that note, last week some mexican dude broke into my sister's neighbor's apt, raped chick inside, tried to kill her. noteworthy cuckland lul of it being that it was his second visit to the property in
a month or so.
mircea_popescu: nowadays the good state-science being, of course, "taking it in the ass and eating
a lot of soy won't castrate you".
mircea_popescu: this is
a myth, much exactly the same as "masturbation will make you blind".
mircea_popescu: as if i actually give
a fuck how many dicks it can or does take.
mircea_popescu: it's ~just as stupid for the kid inquestion to imagine the state is good and paying taxes is not rape as it is for the same kid to imagine whoring is
a future plan and so on.
mircea_popescu: when the "adults" have fucked
a topic to death to no-one's benefit, and the kids finally get their hands on it.
mircea_popescu: the way this shit works is that nothing progresses science quite as much as the idle availability of specific precursors. which is both why alf has
a point re the failure of us science and engineering being related to the criminalization of the garage teenager's bombmaking lab as well as to the general idea that "you get to have sex in college".
mircea_popescu: but this aside : HAVING the thing there will be very useful for some important areas of republican research. such as the most evident one - malleable computation. (ie, when you somehow structure your code so that others can help but can't discern what they're helping. this may or may not involve
a well chosen cipher system).
a111: Logged on 2016-10-19 14:14 trinque: when the great schism occurred, I wrote the first cut of deedbot as quickly as possible as
a single large blob of code.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-19 14:13 mod6: cool. yeah,
a neat payment model for private projects would be pretty sweet with deedbot.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> btw BingoBoingo i submit something like "troubled hrc fundraisers despair of ever receiving support from bitcoin, comically look to ven in desperation" or such for the next roundup (sauce
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-18#1556416 ) << AHA, it's
a firm mebbe for next one. Didn't fit flavor of recent electoral one.
☝︎ shinohai: Yeah, hence I don't want to screw up
a good thing lol by submitting trash all the time
trinque: when the great schism occurred, I wrote the first cut of deedbot as quickly as possible as

☟︎ mod6: cool. yeah,
a neat payment model for private projects would be pretty sweet with deedbot.
☟︎ mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 and once trinque gets the payment side of deedbot ready, you can even charge
a fee! << yeah, nice!
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> this should be
a thing, it occurs to me, if it could be aware of user so ppl in l1 can specify public or private. << ah, ok. i'll put some thought into this.
shinohai: I was just about to say, it is obvious they will make
a pseudo scientific effirt at creating
a "cryptocurrency"
mircea_popescu: shinohai the ven thing, it has nothing to do with blockchain, or with technology generally. it's the funniest thing you ever saw,
a sort of etsy-paypal, made by the same sort of stunted minds that tried to push doge.
mircea_popescu: mod6 and once trinque gets the payment side of deedbot ready, you can even charge

Framedragger: (man, i am in dire need of multi-tier TODO lists (sorted by urgency and other things). my TODO text file is
a mess.)
ben_vulpes: tangentially tangentially, i dunno about these headlights, baby. i think i need to take 'em out and rattle them around for
a few hours before i trust the connectors and re-seating job fully.
ben_vulpes: heh topic of i'm trying to sell
a third of my civic to my business partner in exchange for
a very large turbo and his time installing it
mircea_popescu: parliaments regulate. governments are not parliaments, nor are they legitimate, as
a matter of principle, which is separable and also separate from the absent legitimacy of parliaments.
mircea_popescu: otherwise in mosul, the fight is now supposed to take two months,
a 50% upgrade, and from the locals “The Iraqi army arrived yesterday and took the town, and today Isis came back and the army ran away. We weren’t expecting this.”
mircea_popescu: and i don't need
a wire. i'm just using the wire to loosen headcunts.
mircea_popescu points out that
a 1024x768 bundle of wires, 786.5k total is not unthinkable. at 50 microns each + 30 insulation you'll end up with
a cable bundle 4 inches thick, big deal.
a girl could take it in either hole with
a little practice!
mircea_popescu: about as stupid as creating
a mechanical drum for the usb stick
mircea_popescu: that's what i'm saying. make
a fucking proper lcd alrerady, who the fuck heard of this crt-emulated-in-lcd
trinque: right, so what mircea_popescu described with tits.bmp is
a framebuffer
mircea_popescu: and if i want to do
a slideshow i do
a for loop, and the machine cycles through the bmps as fast as memory updates, which is to say i get 2GHz ie 2 bn fps.
trinque: certainly not in the chip; CLIM is
a very high level thing, akin to hypercard or the browser and not
a video driver
mircea_popescu: this (xy) thing is
a raster artefact. i'm not fucking scanning the pixels.
trinque: and the former maps nicely to being
a CLIM backend, i.e.
a framebuffer port of the thing wouldn't be that hard
trinque: you'd still at the application layer be describing operations on
a plane which are
a function over the previous plane producing the next
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform even
a modest 1024x768 screen would be 2mb which is not bad for memory inspectionz either
mircea_popescu: anyway -
a tightly coupled video-ram bridge would even do away with the dumbass "drivers" and etc.
mircea_popescu: if i want to see
a 1mb page of "ram" on my display whop's to prevent me. "real time" wtf is that.
mircea_popescu: incidentally : the whole "what part of buffer to redraw" and the assorted nonsense comes from
a time of scanning crts. i would be very much interested to see computing hardware built around
a lcd paradigm. which is to say : no more hdds ; everything is flash rom, the "hdd", the "ram", the "display". arrays of x by y cells is all.
a111: Logged on 2015-08-19 00:18 asciilifeform: cabbie: 'this ford is
a piece of shit. stalled again.' mircea_popescu: 'i have
a solution!' cabbie: 'oh???111' mircea_popescu: 'here, have this broomstick.' cabbie: 'how do i drive customers on that, feed my family' mircea_popescu: 'you misunderstand, my good man. you stuff it in your arse.' cabbie: 'and... how does this feed by family?' mircea_popescu: 'no, you sit there with it in.'
trinque: I walk one step at
a time like any fella
ben_vulpes: just
a classic 'how to make
a peanut butter sandwich' instructional piece
mircea_popescu: so today we find ben_vulpes has taken
a celerity vow, which is like
a chastity vow ("you shall not fucke") but it goes "you shall not worke for empire"
trinque: persistent CLOS with
a CLIM gadget per table would be *precisely* the thing.
trinque: relational db must be rewritten in Lisp and there must be
a CLIM interface written for it
