mircea_popescu: "Thompson was faced with a hardware environment cramped and spartan even for the time: the DEC PDP-7 on which he started in 1968 was a machine with 8K 18-bit words of memory and no software useful to him."

asciilifeform: 8k x 18 is still a fuckton if there's no extraneous crapolade in there
asciilifeform: how many folks here have written enough asm (let's be liberal, pick any arch) to fill 8k?
asciilifeform has, and it took a while
asciilifeform: before anyone says 'but the data set' - people in the 'age of xx kB' often kept them on tape and operated piecemeal
asciilifeform: see the 'tape sorts' featured in the knuth aop centerfolds, for example
mircea_popescu: it's about 2-4k instructions. a week's worth ?
asciilifeform: if you do nothing else
asciilifeform: and writing mostly 'from your head' already.
asciilifeform: then yes.
cazalla: i take it noone here got an invite to evoorhee's wedding lol
mircea_popescu: well if you're going to write asm you'd better know the opcodes.
mircea_popescu: uh wasn't that in 2013 ?!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: meant the overall logic, rather than opcodes (of course you know the opcodes, that isn't what takes time)

mircea_popescu: really, bitcoin is quite aptly "a microscope". specifically, in this case : the sort of bs idiocy we deride used to pass for "business" and "entrepreneurship" as a regular thing. sop.
mircea_popescu: those dudes find themselves in the position where atrocities that were just fine suddenly are viewed as atrocities by a cohesive group.
mircea_popescu: talk about business disruption.
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeah, I've been running the uploader by hand; I'm around to do so
asciilifeform: betcha they see #b-a as something not unlike how normal people see militant 'vegans'

mircea_popescu: i think "isis" is really the only available symbol to describe chtulhu, the borg, entity q and so forth.
thestringpuller: how is cthulhu and the borg related?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: idk, in my head it inevitably evokes a horde of orcs and headsoff.com

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: robespierre also did not have cc debt, care about college, nor ate 'quarterpounder', nor ever heard a police siren ...

mircea_popescu: who ?
asciilifeform: 'isis'
asciilifeform: or whatever the physically-existing pieces thereof are
mircea_popescu: isis the symbol, not isis the real item it purports to stand for.
asciilifeform: (vs the usg fiction)
asciilifeform: aha
mircea_popescu: there's zero relation there.
asciilifeform gets it
asciilifeform: limonov's 'escapees from the sanitary asylum' yes.
asciilifeform: as an abstract entity
mircea_popescu: average usian has never traveled, never read a book in a foreign language, never fucked a woman he didn't know etc. his ideas of "isis" are necessarily a reflection of his own pen, nothing else.
asciilifeform: (his gadaffi essay, among other items quoted here in the past, were in 'the disciplinary sanitarium' - great piece on more-or-less this ^)
mircea_popescu: heck, even something as banal as jurisdiction limits or alternative currencies are "confusing" and uncomfortable.
asciilifeform: jurisdiction limits don't confuse americans at all in application to -other- (vassal or non-usg jurisdiction) places
mircea_popescu: half the usian literature (which is 2/3s cinematographic) revolves around the shock and horror of... BORDERS!111
mircea_popescu: that's the main epic device : he crossed the state line!111
asciilifeform: no one in usa thinks that french law applies to him

adlai: armed insurrection, like suicide, is only punishable when failed
mircea_popescu: but nuland's ukraine coup failed so spectacularly it's contending with the iran contra affair.
adlai: well the us plays the role of global policeman, and suicide-by-cop is not punishable (except for maybe retiring the individual cop early, since he won't make a good public face for the department)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: short summary: patch submitted by google chrome devs themselves; supposedly to simplify their sandbox 'jail' mechanism ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it was tentatively accepted, but is not found in mainstream kernels - considered experimental
asciilifeform: and, up until now, nothing made use of it
asciilifeform: but now google intends to force it through with the usual 'or we take the ball and go home' gambit.
asciilifeform: which should immediately make your ears stand up
asciilifeform: i deliberately won't comment on the technical aspects (can't bring myself to give a damn) but the psychological patterns point to - power play
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu might phrase it
asciilifeform: 'camel wants his nose in the tent'
asciilifeform: perhaps this is worth a brief digression: ☟︎
asciilifeform: there are -two- separate types of policy re: a major project with 'open' contributions
asciilifeform: the 'what' - gets in
asciilifeform: and
asciilifeform: the 'who' gets to contribute
asciilifeform: shitgnomism is a thing mainly because these two very separate considerations somehow ended up munged into one
asciilifeform: as if it were possible for the machine itself to protest and say 'i don't like this particular 'what,' it was written to brutally rape the operator when the planets next align'
asciilifeform: bringing it back to the 'tsync' thread, there are two separate questions that the evil dwarves would have us believe are simply one - the technical merit or lack thereof of the 'tsync' mechanism
asciilifeform: whereas the real issue is, whether google should be permitted to stuff arbitrary strange into mainline kernel on their say-so ☟︎
asciilifeform: a good chunk of the reputation of linus t. is that he's been fairly effective at keeping a lid on this kind of thing, historically ☟︎
asciilifeform: but my impression is that he's the 'boy stuffing his finger in the flood dike' as in the fairy tale
asciilifeform: if finger ever comes out - enjoy 'chrome os'
ben_vulpes: what's the graphical www browser story over on le bsds?

pete_dushenski: pretty sure gaddafi had one as well. pol pot too
decimation: hehe yeah, well it's pretty much a museum piece
pete_dushenski: driveable art !
decimation: there's a somewhat similar market for 'restored' wwii aircraft
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: my understanding is that folks who own machines like this, either become amateur machinists or cultivate a relationship with an actual machine shop
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it's a surprisingly common 'old man hobby' where i live
pete_dushenski: or... have one in-house
pete_dushenski: well, old men have little else to occupy themselves with so they're always in search of projects
asciilifeform: folks with 2,3,4+ classic cars under leather skins in their yard, in various states of repair
asciilifeform: and a mazerati's worth of cnc gear in the cellar
pete_dushenski: it's definitely ambitious in its own way
decimation: asciilifeform: the thing that gets me, is that what percentage of the 'car' was actually original?
decimation: at some point, are you just driving a replica? ☟︎
asciilifeform: decimation: usually all of the visible parts and as much of the engine as can be helped
asciilifeform: (these folks are generally preoccupied with the authenticity of the engine, unlike, e.g., the famous cuban mechanics, because that's actually the part they imprinted on as children)
pete_dushenski: original or hand-made, either or a combination of the two are desirable.
pete_dushenski: and cubans could desire authenticity all they want and it still won't happen
pete_dushenski: like french croissants or beluga caviar
pete_dushenski: for usians, authentic parts are available, if expensive or just plain hard to find
decimation: I recently toured a 'restoration' shop where they rebuild wrecks from wwii
decimation: old men pay top dollar for these things, some of which were found as a wreck in the jungle. the end result has maybe 30% 'original' parts
pete_dushenski: there are barn-find ferrari *shells* that go for millions

assbot: Classic cars found in French farmhouse expected to fetch millions | World news | The Guardian ... ( http://bit.ly/1GvWaoZ )
decimation: interestingly, for the aircraft they pound out the frame using hammer press machines
decimation: I asked 'why don't you just use a cnc mill to shape the parts'. the answer: 1.) they apparently don't 'do' computers and 2.) the aircraft were all half-ass made to the blueprints anyway, often with 'by hand' adjustments
pete_dushenski: and today boeing outsources its parts to asia and... gets fucked.
pete_dushenski: there's much to be said for controlling your supply chain and having it in your backyard/garage/basement
fluffypony: my supply chain is in my fridge

pete_dushenski: fluffypony lol which is stocked by your better half, i imagine ?

pete_dushenski: that's a lot of trust there.

pete_dushenski: decimation except boeing is tbtf
pete_dushenski: they're not capitalist in any sense of the term
pete_dushenski: they're usg through and through
pete_dushenski: so why not 'create jobs' ?
decimation: pete_dushenski: yeah that's why I put the scare quotes :)
decimation: boeing is in the business of being various state's bitch
pete_dushenski: unless of course this is a case of, like mp's observation on the decline of the british empire, there being no good men left to do what has to be done
pete_dushenski: no men of morals left in the states, work gets shipped abroad
decimation: I think there might be some of that, but I also doubt that britian's 'good men' could get much done trapped in the crazy monkey house of a modern us bureaucracy
pete_dushenski: sure, i'm not saying it's entirely the fault of the men in the context of their work, but it is their fault in the context of the systems of governance they support
pete_dushenski: so americans support welfare and free shit, so no one bothers to get up for work.
decimation: yes. for instance, the fact that the bond market in the us freaked out because a semi-good jobs report might imply that the fed might begin 'targeting' higher rates
pete_dushenski: to the extent that they don't have to, that no one is holding a gun to their head and they aren't starving, why bother ?
pete_dushenski: decimation there's no cause and effect there.
pete_dushenski: jobs reports have fuck all to do with anything.
pete_dushenski: heh the montly mpex reports matter more.
decimation: of course not, but direct government interventions do
mircea_popescu: scoopbot
decimation: the amusing bit is that folks think they are trading in a 'free market', but then actually act like they are scared government lackeys
pete_dushenski: scared of government lackeys how ?
decimation: well, when you are trading on the wholly-owned 'usd-coin' platform, it's easy to be scared when usg decides to tinker with various model parameters mid-flight
pete_dushenski: it seems to me that, at this point certainly, there's more general fear when there *isn't* tinkering
pete_dushenski: daily, if possible.
decimation: well, the other part of this issue is that the fed isn't tinkering alone, you also have the euros doing what they do
decimation: the idea that anyone could 'consider the implications' of whatever decision they make in the matter of bank interest rates, money supply, etc is pretty lulzy

pete_dushenski: "Ex-marine Jered Kenna has to be one of the most perseverant entrepreneurs in bitcoin. After his exchange TradeHill fell apart not once but twice, he also lost bitcoin.com – the flagship domain for the digital currency." << perseverant and retarded.
pete_dushenski: like the seagull that keeps flying into the window of the skyscraper
