mp_en_viaje: whole
bolix, i thought that's more like 7k+ these days.
mp_en_viaje: anyway. point remains, lmi,
bolix, etc folk had absolute obligations : a) to work together ; b) to not work with morons.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, it's your analysis. monkey === mit ; etc. man, supposedly, at lmi,
bolix, etc.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 18:21 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: puzzlers like those, make e.g.
bolix look trivial ( consider,
bolix physically exists and is sitting in asciilifeform's tortureroom , whereas beria et al's docs were afaik carefully burned )
a111: Logged on 2018-12-18 23:03 asciilifeform: usg used a fleet of
bolix boxen for gulf war I logistics, and fuck knows what else, so in some dusty beetleman's desk it is 'coloured' as 'strategic', and so it gets passed from mallery to mallery.
amberglint: it was apparently designed in the west coast part of
bolix, which is the graphics division afaik
amberglint: asciilifeform: I've stumbled upon a video recording of the lecture on the Ivory given by a
bolix engineer in 1987, apparently uploaded by a
bolix 'graphics division' alumnus just two weeks ago, thought I should share it here:

the bolix approach, where you have a proper lisp and a ~compact~ + readable c-to-lisp ~in~ it for use with legacy crapola while-needed

mp_en_viaje: alright, well, month's not bad -- by the time you're done with ffa you can start a mega-
bolix series.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-01 14:08 asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform nao has what appears to be full pinout, timing, bus sequence, register, init magic, interrupts, etc. spec for
bolix 'ivory' (won't, presently, say from where, unless source wants to be cited, plox to write in. )
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 00:45 mircea_popescu: this is no proof. but it does inform what is, for all of us, a reasonable suspicion. you think you have reason to suspect
bolix is more notable than atari.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-28 01:21 asciilifeform: for extra mindfuck : the primary xtal in the
bolix ( valpey-fisher vf155 ) is a <1ppm txco.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-01 05:44 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can you believe you've lived to be doing the xraying to the
bolix ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can you believe you've lived to be doing the xraying to the
bolix ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes it will take more time / cost reagents. nevertheless, "here's my micron-by-micron decap of
bolix."
a111: Logged on 2019-02-17 23:49 asciilifeform: re
bolix back end, i suspect it aint very useful as starting point, because was far ~too easy~ item , in that the iron per se was sane (i.e. performed bounds and type checks, so much of what gcc is stuck doing in soft, was unnecessary )
mircea_popescu: coincidentally : is anyone from the adacore/gnat/gnarl/whatever days still breathing even ? or 100%
bolix situation, "documents at warehouse, i am machinist in charge" ?
mircea_popescu: and so in this sense, dos "source" is a lot like "
bolix source" -- would consist of 99.9999% cat scans by mass.
mircea_popescu: and the problem of "wut use then" is still open, in which context i perceive eg the
bolix wank.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 19:31 mircea_popescu: phf i expect the accumulated value of the whole pile of "secrets" is about 0. and i further expect the entire value of the whole
bolix stack neatly approximates the value of my stock of pogos.
