gabriel_laddel_p: Am going to the FIG meetup group again to see if I can get a few for free...
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm thinking of the document ben_vulpes dropped in the logs, which iirc runs on the greenarrays chip.
gabriel_laddel_p: There was a software defined fourth NIC dropped in the logs that is pretty well documented.
gabriel_laddel_p: The most programmable possible. Idc if this means somebody reverse engineered the drivers, or it is documented, or it is simple enough that someone could revese engineer it, or or or
gabriel_laddel_p: Reviewing all the log references in the "TODO: new, better hardware" node of the manual and compiling a list of hardware that is less braindamaged. Purchasing, assembling & them selling them as the 2nd generation of Masamune.
gabriel_laddel_p: Now that the "UX" is in some sense complete, I'm studying so the hardware can be swapped out from under it, exactly in the manner described by mircea_popescu earlier today.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: Exactly. Which is what is needed. For the record, "paving over the swamp" is coming along great, and that metaphore is wholly inadaquate for what I'm doing.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: very little of this is CL. The save-page-complete and save-page-as-text comes as part of the conkeror browser, and I just drive it with CL.
gabriel_laddel_p: Sadly you will only be able to do this if you are running Masamune, as it is 100% dependent on its internals.
gabriel_laddel_p: one prior (many months ago) suggestion I liked: archive from that page to a depth of 2.
gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: good to hear. If you or anyone else has something they want the archiver to do, speak now.
gabriel_laddel_p: what I think: if someone has js turned on in their browser, it's because they want js. If turned off, they don't want it. I, at least, want an-accurate-as-possible archive of whatever shows up in the logs, including arbitrary files, videos etc.
gabriel_laddel_p: are there any links in the logs that need special treatment for archival? Current list: download youtube videos & pdfs.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: Would you mind explaining why what I'm doing constitutes "banging my head"?
gabriel_laddel_p: shapefiles are heathen nonsense, but it turns out they can be easily converted to json, which CL has plenty of parsers for.
gabriel_laddel_p: .svgs are essentially paths you can feed to CLIM:DRAW-POLYGON*
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm updating an incomplete svg parser someone else wrote + tying it to open government datasets.
gabriel_laddel_p: I was adding support for shapefiles and svgs earlier today because the "base layer" of masamune is complete, and I can now rely on it to grow with me moving forwards.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm not designing an atomic dirigible. I'm catching up on all the learning I've forsaken over the past four years to build Masamune. Yes, the eventual goal is to make a lispm, but it isn't as if I'm skipping meals to do CPU design.
☟︎ gabriel_laddel_p: ftr, I was asking if there are comparable effects at EM frequencies other than visible light. I presently have no use for said technology, though it would be fun to replicate.
gabriel_laddel_p: I wonder how hard it would be to "brain parasite" a community college..
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I was not. And presently have no ideas as to how this would be done in jungle conditions.
gabriel_laddel_p: A task for anyone who has the time: people have recently (re?)discovered that when you run visible light into a "nanomaterial" with a "grating" whose components are less than the wavelength of light, you get interesting effects.
gabriel_laddel_p: Incidentally, I have a copy of that volume and don't need a link.

gabriel_laddel_p: !!rate adlai -10 0/10 on homework. Reposts known information in an attempt to appear useful
gabriel_laddel_p: and can I substitute it with working out the ternary circuts I asked adlai to do?
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: am I allowed to respond to people who reference me in the logs?
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: what _exactly_ have you done with your life that makes your advice so worthwhile?
gabriel_laddel_p: if you don't want to hear what I've got to say, just negrate me, !!down and be done with it.
gabriel_laddel_p: -10 magicaltux -0.5 49 7,566 Feb 26, 2014 pathetic Judas Goat.
gabriel_laddel_p: As such, I concluded that my rating was (in your view) "teh last straw!111!
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I see no one could interpret my rating of BingoBoingo as crying/flailing, and the only "ship" of mine people here have attempted to right is Masamune.
gabriel_laddel_p: you programmed atop these machines for how many years before discovering lisp?
gabriel_laddel_p: find me an engaging shopping list of "great writers" and I'll read it.
gabriel_laddel_p: !!v 7C35852065204B6A39F4EA153F9FE5A72C757681210572333C60460DCE525E87
gabriel_laddel_p: oh okay, well anyways that's the train of thought I'm exploring.
gabriel_laddel_p: like, population count, size of government, estimated GB of total law, # of sheriff, police, murders, rapes, assults etc?
gabriel_laddel_p: pete_dushenski: have you ever wanted your car to list off a bunch of facts scraped from the web when you cross into a new jurisdiction?
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I have done very little to CLIM the library thus far - mostly creating, organizing and DOCUMENTING examples of what one can do with it.
gabriel_laddel_p: I saw the gt4 the other day and... no car has ever tugged at my soul before
gabriel_laddel_p: pete_dushenski: does it do anything for you on a visceral level
gabriel_laddel_p: pete_dushenski: not even slightly. I wanted to know your thoughts. How do you /feel/ about it.
gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: incidentally, if I'm wasting my time here with Framedragger and adali, can you also negrate them so they can be put !!down?
gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: it wasn't for sale at any point when I had the old key, but I suppose that's just "faffing"
gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: you realize that there will be a price hike after this is complete correct?
gabriel_laddel_p: ditch the whole stupidity of "caching" the web, local storage etc
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: instead of having "web applications" we have a +v, invite only irc channel where our CL programs communicate. Well-formed messages are treated as FTP endpoints to download arbitrary information.
gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: ^ another thing you can do. The patch to fix CL-FTP is in the logs.
