http://trilema.com/2011/margin-call/ last nite ; hanbot was all "wtf is with
these idiots,
tax man
takes 50% right off
the
top, and
that's it ? no comment, not even a groan, not even 'how about you pay me
the real amt you pay me rather
than pretend double' zero ??"

that fucking movie. first, i was pissed off none of
the characters were capable of saying ~anything~ of substance about [finance,
trading, anything-at-all],
then i realized it's an accurate portrayal. still not sure if
the
thing's deliberately honest or all responsible are so clueless
the kitsch was actually supposed
to impress.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: this resulted in a 50k win by
the "victim" and a 800k win in "court costs".
mircea_popescu: in ongoing lulz, "A v Hoare, [2008] UKHL 6 is a leading
tort case in British law, decided by
the House of Lords in 2008.
The Lords held
that
the limitation period for actions founded on
torts of negligence may be disapplied where it is inequitable
to enforce it."

to wrap up a blog post sharing a very minimal prototype (sane implem. of repl doing nothing but basic ops) in a few weeks. what I've got now adheres
to most of ffa constraints.
the current version isn't very clean, but getting
there...

trinque: naa wasn't a heathen link, was selfmade
thing
mod6: i'll
take another one when
the shipment arrives in .uy, no problem at all.
mod6: i'll even go one further... if
the FG USB-TTL becomes a pressing issue, for some reason, I'll give ya mine from my rockchip.
diana_coman: if we can indeed just move it over on a wed downtime
then yes, not needed for sure;
mod6: ok sounds like a plan
then.
thanks for being flexible here.
mircea_popescu: anywya, just
trying
to work with
these fellows within
their surprising constraints.
mircea_popescu: if indeed we just move it back
to old one during a wed downtime, we need nothing.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it's certainly fine for
testing at
this stage; presumably later if we get everything compiling fine and bring eucrypt in we might want
to have both but it's not at all a requirement atm
mod6: (we'll obv. add
the second one in
there as soon as
the addtional USB-TTLs arrive)
mod6: Maybe
that's ok
to just get one FG up and running for
the
test environment? We're shipping addtional ones down
there asap as well.
They'll come separately from
the SSDs
though.
mod6: so we should be good
to go
then
to meet our EoM deadline.
mod6: im assuming we also have spare ethernet cords down
ther
mod6: lobbes: you still wanna buy & ship some SSDs for pizarro for BTC? chat us up in #pizarro about
the details.
mod6: we've got FGs, and iirc, we've also got
two remaining USB-TTLs right?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 a) why not just sell it
to pizarro and b) it's really no rush, end of
the month's fine. <<
thanks for
the
time horizon. we'll plan on getting
the hot-spare racked and going for sure by end of June.
mircea_popescu: but i suppose
this is what you get for wiping back
to front
mircea_popescu: ah, so
then adult raid, just not adult populated.
this seems fine.
ben_vulpes: box can come up for
testing with
the spare ssd drive held for s.mg raid redundancy;
then reprovision with cuntoo later in
the month and
the fat stack of SSDs
to flesh out
the raid array for
the production cutover.
mod6: Anyway,
that's what I'm
thinkin. We stand up what we have onhand for S.MG. And meanwhile, we order 5 1Tb SSDs for immediate shipment. When recieved, we ship another 5.
mircea_popescu: no,
the idea is, she stands up a working pile on
the non-raid system, attempts
to move it over, it don't boot, because raid.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the only catch is
that "o wait, kernel now dun work"
ben_vulpes: nah no stress, workin out how
to best serve s.mg
mod6: asciilifeform: aha,
they can decide
to add
the additional drives any
time after
the first shipment is received.
Totally up
to S.MG.
mod6: I've just been
told
that I don't even need
to give S.MG a drive, or sell it one. Apparently I misunderstood and
there already is a drive available for
this environment. Just one, and
that's alwasys been
there iirc.
mircea_popescu: mod6 a) why not just sell it
to pizarro and b) it's really no rush, end of
the month's fine.
☟︎ mod6: -july. 3) Upon receipt of
the first drive shipment, we can add
those additional drives
to
the hot-spare-evironment - as needed.
They'll be earmarked for S.MG. 4) Pizarro will
then actually place another order of 5 drives
to be shipped just
to have on hand.
mod6: And what we're proposing is
this: 1)
the bitcoin foundation will give S.MG its SAMSUNG 1tb ssd - we can get
that drive into
the hot-spare-environment and get it racked in
the next i.e. 48 hours.
This will allow diana_coman
to boot up and do whatever
testing/gymnstaics she needs. meanwhile 2) Pizarro will make 1st order of 5 1tb ssds from shitazon and have
those shipped asap.
They should arrive by about mid
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for your lulz file, google
thinks представьте себе = "represent yourself".
mircea_popescu: mod6 last i heard and signed off on, alf's gonna put
the cuntoo on
the box as soon as you folks have it.
mod6: Hi all. So we're
trying
to figure out what we can do here regarding
the s.mg hot-spare box.
spyked: asciilifeform, yes, found w4rez. and used it as reference. and
the lisp evaluator works on simple programs (implemented most higher-order functions in it), but
the code is organized like crap. and I'm not sure I made
the correct cut between "builtin procedures" and e.g. keywords such as "lambda".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this word, incidentally, is like
the english "set". means "ways, means, form, face, expression" etc.
mircea_popescu: in other sads, article fucking untranslatable. "inchipuiti-va" is not romanian for "imagine", because
that's imaginati-va. it's
the vocative of
the act of creating a form/face (chip) in your mind. which does not exist in english as such, unless you go
to "mentally iconify" or somesuch barbarism.
spyked: and I don't know how
to cut it in small, readable pieces.
spyked: I managed
to make
the
thing run without a heap, I
think
the problem's more in my understanding of Lisp's evaluation model.
mircea_popescu: spyked afaik
this ran in entirely unsolvable memory addressing problems,
that
true ?

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1738140 <-- ftr, I am following phf's initial advice re. reading lisp in small pieces;
this, along with kogge's book. but at snail's pace (code easier
to write
than read)

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737923 <-- also, spyked's adalisp is missing more fundamental
things, such as closures. it's an early prototype, barely usable, but > 0. interning is of course considered, but not added yet. anyway, phf, consider
the following point: built-in symbols (car, cons, etc.) still have
to point *somewhere*, and
that somewhere must not be addressed in a C-machine style! symbols should point
to Lisp memory (via
a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 14:06 phf: spyked: r5rs and
tinyscheme are not
the right places
to start on
the other, non-ada end, i'd recommend looking at lisp in small pieces. you can
tease out
the
theory out of
tinyscheme, but it's definitely easier not
to get bogged on accidentals if you start from
theory
mircea_popescu: ima give it
till
the hour an'
then reveal,
this is something else.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz (from
there where
the hopeless cunts posture) : Sam25218 23F Exploring "It costs £0.00
to not be like
this." LordMPofTMSR 37M Master "For
the same money it'd cost you nothing
to stop washing and go about in rags. What nonsense is
this ?!"
spyked: quite
the backbreaker, yes. I have some coad, but it sucks (iirc I linked some of it and phf
tore it
to pieces).
mircea_popescu: this is how we ended up rebuilding
the whole
town around powerplant as part of powerplant rebuild project.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but
this is my point. "why are you using emacs when in fact
trb will need ada scheme anyway and
then you could just have a musl-gnat nerwmacs" ?
