gabriel_laddel_p: which I suppose credits your /dev/ is not being populated correctly theory
gabriel_laddel_p: why would I have to load a driver for a block device? and sdb1 and so on and so forth are NOT created, no seen anywhere
gabriel_laddel_p: I will double check that all kernel modules are being included, but could have sworn I got em all
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: it just doesn't detect anything
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: there is no error to paste. Nothing is missing, nothing shows up as missing when I strace it.
gabriel_laddel_p: I would have thought that it was compiled statically, but lddtree turns up deps
gabriel_laddel_p: Oddly enough, the fdisk binary from https://www.phenix.bnl.gov/~purschke/RescueCD/ works, even though I have a different kernel than it ships with (the masamune one), and different shared libs (masamune ones).
gabriel_laddel_p: emacs, htop, mc, sbcl all work fine, but X11 & fdisk do not, which sort of screws me. strace works, but tracing the X process does not turn up anything useful
gabriel_laddel_p: Is anyone aware of "magic" shared libraries that must be included with a linux distro to work? When I build a MasamuneRescueCD fdisk -l does not see any disks, nor does lsblk, in spite of my including all shared libraries required by lddtree --list
gabriel_laddel_p: god you people are thick sometimes
gabriel_laddel_p: how it is not 100% obvious I read everything by now...
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: y'know, I'm neg-rated so cannot up myself
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: in any case, happy to make a PGPGRAM at whatever point verifying that indeed, it is me using this nick.
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1662426 < is it not free sample.bin from nosuchlabs.com? ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: Anyways, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661854 < Amen. ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: fwiw, I'd like to apologize for the spelling errors above. on an apple computer & it spell corrects me / removes text / sends messages I didn't intend to send. Eg, "incidentally ascii" was supposed to be prefaced with "Amen. "
gabriel_laddel_p: so you search around the chemical space to find the most potent white powder == sell more
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: most of the people buying have no idea, they just know "white powder makes me feel good"
gabriel_laddel_p: in spite of having radically different effects.
gabriel_laddel_p: you CANNOT buy d-amphetamine, or any of the enantiomers / diastereomers of meth / cocaine.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: go buy some cocaine sometime. or amphetamine of any description
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: if I had experience with the cartel's I'd be making money in the way described above.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: stands in direct contradiction to my own experience, but w/e
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: they don't want to end up in jail any more than you do
gabriel_laddel_p: d-amphetamine is WAYYY better & an easy sell, but not available on the market
gabriel_laddel_p: if the cartel's knew even simple things like "most of our product is chiral" they could sell a lot more
gabriel_laddel_p: let em know you can do crypto
gabriel_laddel_p: would just move to tijuana Mexico and go to some parties, tell people you're a technician / chemist
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661862 < incidentally ascii, your skill set could make you a lot of money if you ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: and also to demonstrate that "oh no, FG can't be sold" is in the same bucket as http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1381606 ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: mod6: the payment is to drive up the value of your shares
gabriel_laddel_p: also hard drive died last night, so have to auth via a systemrescuecd + usb which sorta sucks
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: yes, but I'm neg-rated by MP so cannot up myself
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1506447 ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: *stfu
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661215 < the end of this thread was MP noting that if you wanted a boat, buy it when the Korean shipping firm imploded, else stuff. ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: and have already taken 300 of his dollars
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: diva send the x61? I have someone waiting on me to deliver a masamune atop it
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: capital idea!
gabriel_laddel_p: jesus fuck
gabriel_laddel_p: fucking retards
gabriel_laddel_p: no no, they'd rather buy several months worth of soylent
gabriel_laddel_p: have tried, and tried and tried
gabriel_laddel_p: I'm happy to compute myself, but am having a hard time convincing ppl to buy me FG
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: not in my present state, and certainly not without numbers
gabriel_laddel_p: I was planning on selling FG using this, but have a lot on my plate
gabriel_laddel_p: for MNIST or the like?
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: do you have numbers for convergence with FG vs intel PRNG?
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: you specifically talked to who?
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: and you say this with what basis?
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: what, the geiger counter NN training, or another one?
gabriel_laddel_p: and will give a better prediction / faster convergence than PRNGs
gabriel_laddel_p: On the basis that FG won't rest on some portion of the state space when you train your model
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-24#1661195 < have you tried selling FG to data science / machine learning types? IE the only group of young people with disposable income. ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: ask a grad student (preferably one who works on antenna theory) what the A-> field _is_ and why D->/B->/E-> etc are _not_ sometime. The sheer weight of handwaving will adequately communicate why this is interesting.
gabriel_laddel_p: *spherically symmetrical mass distribution with a much smaller mass inside of it that A-> induces a velocity in when moved...
gabriel_laddel_p: from: http://aero.stanford.edu/gtrpaper/gtr.html
gabriel_laddel_p: Interestingly, Ilan Kroo reached for the same formulation (A->) & same example (spherically symmetrical mass distribution) as CAM, but ~20 years earlier, and prior to gravity probe B, which confirmed (for some value of that word) the geodetic effect (frame dragging).
gabriel_laddel_p: Irrespective of its other features, the pedagogical elimination of Bohr's definition of the classical correspondence limit is useful (from CE).
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658436 < Agreed. Which is why I pasted the video (which yes, I will strip of its contents and put in blog), because it occurred after CE, and has 1 new, useful calculation. ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: my understanding is that the original quaternion formulation from maxwell is also lorentz invariant, but have not checked.
gabriel_laddel_p: We know that A-> exists, and is better than heaviside's formulation of maxwell's equations because it can describe the AB experiment, and because it does not have a preferred frame of reference / is lorentz invariant.
gabriel_laddel_p: he same mathematical machinery (vector potential) to gravity and has a slightly different prediction than GR regarding the gravity wave (supposedly) detected at LIGO.
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658434 < Do you have a source for this? And banning photons? What? Where is this discussed? In any case, there are two threads here 1) collective electrodynamics, which wants to be a reformulation of EM using A->, as it takes into account, as you say, the "collective action" of electrons. & 2) G4V, which applies t ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: gotta have a web browser to browse the web, dontcha?
gabriel_laddel_p: But it presents a way to get off of "the web", and then swap the underlying networking implementation for gossipd, while retaining a usable UI throughout.
gabriel_laddel_p: Which, whatever, ~10loc.
gabriel_laddel_p: Incidentally, hacked the "black diamond" CLIM-web hack a few nights ago. IE, tying graphics to IRC messages via BEIRC.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: It will. I've already sold it.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: my laptop's internal charger broke, and I'm sitting here waiting on a charging deck to show up.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: Absurdity. Carver Mead's G4V presentation comes across far better in his video than in his paper, and the video includes slides that don't exist elsewhere.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: Bill Gosper is what then.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: there is no standard presentation of the unified theory. All we have is an experiment showing the A-> field is required to fully describe EM.
gabriel_laddel_p: Also I take it nobody watched the video of what the hasllife author is up to these days I posted to Ben's blog?
gabriel_laddel_p: *ffs
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658152 < Maxwell's equations are wrong / incomplete (http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_15.html)! Unit circle bfs. ☝︎

gabriel_laddel_p: Oh and http://worrydream.com/refs/Mead%20-%20American%20Spectator%20Interview.html ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: _15.html
gabriel_laddel_p: For the bored: http://aero.stanford.edu/gtrpaper/gtr.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdiG6ZPib3c http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/100951/what-was-feynmans-much-better-way-of-presenting-the-electrodynamics-which http://www.feynmanlectures.info/other/Alternate_Way_to_Handle_Electrodynamics.html http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: PM'ing you mailing details now.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: acknowledged.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: nope.
gabriel_laddel_p: No? But I suppose that is the case, isn't it.
gabriel_laddel_p: rocket explosion + failure of a PATRIOT missile to hit its target, resulting in 28 deaths.
gabriel_laddel_p: The article also lists 2 disasters that resulted from floating point errors
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: an addition to the story that "floating point must die": because otherwise intelligent people who have PHDs, write haskell & work on stuff we useveryday end up making less-than-obvious mistakes without realizing it.
gabriel_laddel_p: lol c?
gabriel_laddel_p: anyways, just another addition to ascii's "floating point has to die" thread.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: read the article. Or just the smooth surprise part. It isn't an overflow error
gabriel_laddel_p: he said "overflow"
gabriel_laddel_p: *consumer aircraft software
gabriel_laddel_p: I was hanging out with aerospace ppl, one of whom works on computer aircraft software -- gave him the function in question and told him it had a floating point error, asked what it was
gabriel_laddel_p: http://ubiquity.acm.org/article.cfm?id=2913029 < search for "smooth surprise"
gabriel_laddel_p: "send $ to a phone #!"
gabriel_laddel_p: mod6: some USG money transfer thing for young people
gabriel_laddel_p: and half days at that
gabriel_laddel_p: I can't imagine this would take more than 5 days + a bunch of coffee.
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: no, a complete list of hardware items + review
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: but I want the _complete_ list.
