asciilifeform likes, but can use only 2-3 wks / yr, that's how long is period w/out either cold, heat, or mosquito, here in this penal colony
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, exactly that's my theory : split 1 : a1 the ones helped / b1 the ones that didn't need help ; split 2 : a2 the ones demented ; b2 the ones not demented. the idea is a1 a2 are ~same, and in this context you can't pretend they're "a population". they're two.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: not the least bit pissed off. simply must point out that to frame as 'they could not stand' is mistake, it aint as if villagers with pitchforks swapped sovok-1 for sovok-2 , or 2 for 3, etc
mp_en_viaje: i once passed an exam (whatever, highschool term paper) because i introduced as a lemma a clearly absurd geometrical proof ("all straight angles are obtuse") and then on the basis of this 1=2 proceeded to prove the question at hand. the teacher a) gave me full points because couldn't spot the error in the absurdity and then b) took sick leave the next day
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's approach to sovology is based on simple fact -- we're speaking of folx who ~did things~. and specifically, they (1) went from agrarian shithole, on the level of korea circa 1900s, to industrial power equal to any in europistan ; repelled invasion of ~whole combined 'civilized' world, then built bomb to drive home the lesson for the unteachable (2) ; took concept of space flight from fiction to fact (also largely 2, th
asciilifeform: on top of this, add the fact that sovok was really 4 separate items, as diff. as e.g. roman 'kings' period vs republic vs empire : 1) lenin epoch 2) stalin 3) hrusch 4) 'stagnation' and wrap-up. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i recall somewhere a discussion of 'voraphiles', where author sorted'em into 2 distinct subspecies, one which wants to be properly eaten & digested, but another, distinct type, which wants to live 'as jonah in whale', as a foetus-like parasite
asciilifeform: i find it interesting, how typical sovok orc is incurable believer in 'skip icecream cone, save the dough', and that it is ~more~ common among the older folx, who in fact watched 1, 2, or even 3 episodes of 100% evaporation of savings during 'currency rebasings' etc
ave1: Yes basically, Junior is 0/2 years, Senior is anyone above 5 or so
diana_coman: and if it's 2 they are senior?
asciilifeform: ( properly speaking, comba aint even a mult algo in the usual mathematical sense, but merely a 'sideways' restatement of the traditional schoolboy O(n^2) mult algo to behave smoother on pc and other irons where cache is in play )
bvt: re ~2.5x speedup: for 8-indeces-threshold asm comba makes up only ~25% of runtime, rest is spent in karatsuba squaring
asciilifeform: thinking about it, i still dunget why there are ~2~ binaryturd gcc's in the mix.
mp_en_viaje: the exchange offices are out and out scams, trading insane nonsense like 9.2 (while advertising 9.4) to buy and 10.5 to sell (their shitty local coin is about 9.6 irl)
asciilifeform: i admit, expected a little moar speedup from asmism, so pretty curious why < 2.5x as it is

mircea_popescu: whereas if we decide we dislike the "packages" abstraction (and not merely dislike it a little bit, but quite a lot, enough to justify a lot of rewriting) then the available solution's to just make one big v tree. coming with the obvious problem that if indeed the whole world's just one tree, then trying to play BOTH duke nukem AND warcraft 2 will result in two copies of the kernel compiled, like if we were idiots.
asciilifeform: 2 vtrees.
Mocky: in practice it's 2 players only and considered a feature of the physics engine, even so often laggy as hell
asciilifeform: rright, ditto 'vmware' etc. but can you force'em to auto-synchronize the state on 2 physically separate boxen

bvt: hello. i am also sorry for my unacceptably low output over past ~2 months; and particularly sorry of not doing the right thing of notifying the forum (which i did before)
diana_coman: I'm not sure the 2 groups are any different really
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: these look quite like the usa prices, i.e. 200-300k dubloons for a tub that won't even sleep 2 people
mircea_popescu: yacht engine not so much different from luxury car, same few hundred hp. you run it for an hour, you burn about a galon, costs you about 2 bucks.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re x32, from horse's mouth.
a111: 2 results for "nechezol", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=nechezol
asciilifeform pessimistically observes that laziness is the dominant force, and historically 'sit on arse, eat fruit' is not even limited to tropical monkey men, and much of what today thought 'modern tech' dates to the last 2 population-pressure megawars

asciilifeform: ( recall that there's been 2-3 published vulns for it per month, for , what, 5y nao )
asciilifeform: lba 2 , incidentally, had light sourcing / reflections / etc. and ~also~ not only demanded no gpu, but still ran on 486 dx2 a++
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: from asciilifeform's archaeologies, got hypothesis that market for standalone srams is 99% for repair/reproduction of '80s-'90s designs -- current-day ic which require sram tend to 1) need a few kB, maybe a MB or 2 , and 2) include it on-die

asciilifeform did, however, go to a 'by exam, 2 dozen bodies to 1 spot' high school, but it was in usa, and full of... i guess modern-day ameri-equiv. of komosomol. disgusting 'climber' types. 'young republicans'(tm) etc

mircea_popescu: in fact, this is SO fucking ~biologically~ specific i'm even proposing it as the ~best currently known~ gender test. 1. female path : what are you going to do ? "im going to try X" why X ? "it's what everyone else tries". 2. male path : what are you going to do ? "i'm going to try Y" why Y ? "never fucking heard of it before"
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the torture room : 2048-bit primorial is product of 1st 233 primes, i.e. 2,3,5,...,1471 . not so many. theoretically it may be worth the sweat to include a multi-part primorial (i.e. ~set~ of gcd litmusen, each within the permitted width) . this gives correspondingly faster pre-mr sieving, at expense of coupla extra ln. of peh, per. at what point diminishing retu

diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: note the dissonance in your approach - if you want reputation here, you need to do stuff that is useful here (there's a long list of such stuff that needs doing, pick, start on it and document as you go/ask politely and intelligently for help when you need it); onth if you want "reputation" for landing a programming job irl, dropping links here won't help (I doubt the Edgecase thing will help either but that's entirely up to

asciilifeform: ideally you want that type with the 2 slide-out ps
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: start thinkin' about what we want in the 2 remaining cargo slots.
asciilifeform: *2.5k
asciilifeform: transport cost is 1/n per 1u of box, and iirc the airplane/bed was approx 2.5 us dubloons last time
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo incidentally imho would be good thing for piz, even if mircea_popescu ends up w/ cheaper subscription, cuz then vacates 2 piz boxen and these can be advertised

asciilifeform: grr frustrating. BingoBoingo mircea_popescu when either of you wakes up, plox to say which 2 boxes it were.
asciilifeform digs though log, but still not certain which 2 boxes were spoken of. if indeed these 2, then price is diff, cuz dulap is a colo box, owned by snsa, whereas smg is leased box

lobbesbot: PeterL: Sent 2 weeks, 3 days, 5 hours, and 18 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> I'm not versed enough in javascript to be certain. The difference below 24c24 could be something.
BingoBoingo: 1700.40 USD @ 5319 USD/BTC = 0.319684151 BTC + 0.1175 BTC (0.235/2) = 0.437184151 BTC for a year of hosting on each box. This would carry the production server to April 18th 2020 and the test server would carry it to June 1st 2020. The two invoices would total 0.874368302 BTC, and the next invoicing on the boxes would be staggered one month apart.
mircea_popescu: and then of course the moment you actually try to install a game, steam needs at least 2-300mb of further updates.

mircea_popescu: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (LTS stands for long-term support — which means five years, until April 2023, of free security and maintenance updates, guaranteed.) and Ubuntu 19.04 (comes with nine months, until January 2020, of security and maintenance updates.)
mircea_popescu: so as a factual matter, i expect ima pay something, and i expect it'll be entirely meaningless. in which case, da fuck do i care whether it's a mobile phone and you "own the games" or a nintendo and you "own the cartridges" except... well, you know, you virtually own them.
mircea_popescu: not a bad racket, 1k to build box + 2-5k/mo to buy virtual cartridges.
mircea_popescu: hard to believe they couldn't fix a handle in 2 weeks
asciilifeform: iirc it has '2+2' or similar
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu can't be arsed to xor 2 smallints, then comment surely was not pressing matter.
