asciilifeform: (bad rsa key)
trinque hunkers down for more clim hacking
trinque: most fun I've had in years
trinque: re: writing code
asciilifeform: trinque: last time i played with clim under sbcl it was dog-slow
trinque: haven't torqued it hard enough to know yet
trinque: but the clarity
asciilifeform: i mean, even for 'hello world'
trinque: ah, no it's doing fine there
asciilifeform: trinque must be using a recent cpu..
trinque: lol yeah, doing fine with 3+ ghz and 8 cores
trinque solemnly swears not to write his own linux distro with clim-based DE in a year
trinque chants "do not give in to astonishment" as he fires up the clim listener
mircea_popescu: actually it's quite possible the eventual b-a distribution is a sort of lisp "java machine"
mircea_popescu: ie, what google's trying to do.
mircea_popescu: in other news, women and incentives in tech. http://40.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6uukgUutx1rayp8lo1_1280.jpg
assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1JqDolh )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wasted years on this. destructive dead end, because ibm pc is a turd
asciilifeform: i.e. the hardware can't be meaningfully abstracted over.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so is seeking true love.
trinque: can't build a VM for some syslisp which is then implemented later as hardware?
asciilifeform: who doesn't believe me (and why should?) can go waste years himself. like the 'movitz' folks did
mircea_popescu: nah, universal lisp bytecode!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: straight to sbcl, where this is already a thing. plain computation works fine. it's when you get to i/o that you die
mircea_popescu: universal io !
asciilifeform: 'lisp doesn't need i/o.' --my brother
mircea_popescu: if a lisp lisps in a ioless forest, has it still lisped ?
asciilifeform: (in point of fact, it doesn't even need an ALU... church numerals!!)
trinque: I'm just glad I figured out I needed to relearn programming at 28 rather than 58
trinque: asciilifeform: how should IO look? what to read?
asciilifeform: trinque: i/o in the very basic sense of talking to the framebuffer, nic, interrupt controller
asciilifeform: disk
asciilifeform: cpu cores
asciilifeform: (well, the smp control gizmo)
asciilifeform: etc.
trinque: right, so on linux I could write some bits to /dev/fb0 ; what might I go read about regarding how that's done on... would genera be a good example?
asciilifeform: trinque: there are no examples.
trinque: ah ok
asciilifeform: trinque: have you read my 'bedrock' article ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 72809 @ 0.00039094 = 28.464 BTC [-] {4}
asciilifeform: trinque: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=55

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13841 @ 0.00038678 = 5.3534 BTC [-]
trinque: asciilifeform: yes I have, and grok the gist, I think
trinque: what would network IO look like if done on a system with proper bedrock abstractions from your view?
trinque: !up gabriel_laddel
gabriel_laddel: ty
trinque: np, and hello
gabriel_laddel: so, for instance, think of the terminal you are now typing into. on a true dataflow box, it would simply be the end of a circuit (screen memory) directly linked to a circuit with the keyboard matrix decoder on the other end of it. you thus also lose the concept of ‘interrupts’ or ‘processes’. a dataflow box doesn’t need a scheduler, or an interrupt
gabriel_laddel: controller.
gabriel_laddel: -- http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1361
assbot: Loper OS » The Alert Reader. ... ( http://bit.ly/1GHZ9qt )
asciilifeform: trinque: for this one, symbolics lisp is not a bad example. the key being that ~nothing can happen~ short of the nic catching fire that would land you on any level of abstraction below lisp
asciilifeform: e.g., if a malformed packet appears, or connection breaks at any point in the process, or, or.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel has it. but in that article i was speaking of 'proper computer', not lispm.
trinque: gabriel_laddel: end of a circuit, so "circuit" is bedrock, or composed thereof?
asciilifeform: trinque: 'bedrock' for our purposes is that which if it malfunctions you physically throw it out.
trinque reads through p=1361
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: Right. I should have noted that this is an example of what "sane I/O" might look like.
trinque: what is the circuit? how do I write code which reads the current state of the terminal?
trinque: how do I shove bits into it?
asciilifeform: it is the only sane i/o. what we have now is chicken's cloaka, which pisses, shits, fucks, and lays eggs via same orifice (why not also eat with it?)
trinque: is there some data structure manifested in the lisp system which represents the state of the thing?
asciilifeform: trinque: code on dataflow processor controls switching matrix.
asciilifeform: how to represent it is up to the operator
asciilifeform: ultimately it is what your schoolteacher called an 'adjacency matrix.'
trinque: I could declare that the terminal circuit is now connected to (among other things) my circuit which logs terminal stuff?
trinque: and this declaration is...
asciilifeform: these presently exist, you can go to store and buy. called fpga.
trinque: a data structure somewhere read by the switching matrix?
asciilifeform: trinque: typically an ordinary sram
mircea_popescu: it does technicaly eat with it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: think of it, traditional cpu ~is~ cloaka, where you pgp with the same barrel shifter and adder that you play tetris and read lolcatz with
asciilifeform: this is not the only way to build a computer.
asciilifeform: in extreme poverty of the 1950s - yes, it makes sense
asciilifeform: barely made sense in '80s
asciilifeform: (folks carrying around multiple pc notwithstanding)
asciilifeform: think of why msdos was a jewel - machine did ~one fucking thing~ at a time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah. it DOES eat with it.
asciilifeform: approach has limitations, there are asynchronous things in the world (e.g., nic, disks)
trinque: hm, so is there some circuit which is responsible for the adjacency of other circuits?
asciilifeform: so you have multiple machines.
asciilifeform: like in your head
trinque: is this a distributed thing, whereby one circuit requests access to another?
asciilifeform: trinque: when you plant your arse in your chair, does arse 'request access to the chair' ?)
mircea_popescu: iut's not clear why disk would be async
trinque: asciilifeform: no, but sometimes there's a cat in it!
mircea_popescu: for that matter, disk is moving to be ram. and ram is sync.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because you ask it for block b and some unknown time later it says 'here is block b'
trinque: ah!
mircea_popescu: no obvious need for this.
mircea_popescu: it can say "and this is block b perpetually anyway
asciilifeform: for so long as you have caches, you have locality
asciilifeform: which is to say, asking for b+1 will almost always be faster than b+100000
trinque: asciilifeform: so is it the synchronized nature of "modern" IO that is braindamaged?
trinque: I can see that point readily
trinque: I said this to ben_vulpes yesterday about HTTP request/response cycles
asciilifeform: trinque: the whole concept of having von neumann's bottleneck, where you can't do anything at all on the machine without waiting your turn for the little airline latrine of alu, mmu, etc. is asinine
mircea_popescu: refresh me. what in ulimit discusses the i/o ?
trinque: asciilifeform: so this circuit expresses a desire for the answer to some question, and some other circuit may or may not satisfy it
gabriel_laddel: loper-os-reader: I always sort of thought that about CPU designs in general. whilst software designers say “how many cycles is this going to take?”, a hardware designer knows how many cycles something is going to take on a chip: one. or else
gabriel_laddel: stas: dataflow never caught on because you absolutely need dedicated hardware. if you want real efficiency, you can’t even use standard RAM. so it gets dismissed as nuttery, on the rare occasions it comes up.
asciilifeform: trinque: when you plug a lamp into mains socket, does it 'express desire to conduct' ?
mircea_popescu: is it -i (pending signals) ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what system are you on
trinque: asciilifeform: no, but water doesn't ever come out of the socket
mircea_popescu: centos
trinque: the routing is what I'm not clear on
trinque: who says this guy wants to know some facts and not others
asciilifeform: trinque: move your abstraction level down to where the question makes sense
ben_vulpes: o hai gabriel_laddel!

gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: they'll use what's there.
trinque: asciilifeform: ty
trinque: I'll read that and improve my question
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: 'they' << your customers?
asciilifeform: trinque: i'd even argue that fpga is a mis-step historically, and you'd want to start with traditional 'gal' (as pictured here, http://design.iconnect007.media/index.php/article/31256/maxed-out-programmable-logic-part-deux/31259/?skin=design )

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: does your sbcl userland for linux come with a physical box where i get guarantee that the, e.g., video board, works ?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: that is the idea - but currently - no.
trinque: given that I'm already using an absurd compromise (stumpwm+emacs) I'd take something which measurably improves what I'm doing there already
asciilifeform gave a good share of gabriel_laddel's material a fair, imho, reading, and still isn't entirely grasping how the proposed widget wins over classical linux box with sbcl on it

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel aims to bring lisps to 'most people' ?!
asciilifeform head-desks
gabriel_laddel: heh, no
ben_vulpes resents leaving at top of computers + school conversation branch

trinque: asciilifeform: am I in the ballpark... having the vague notion that c-gates would be used to indicate whether the inputs necessary to perform a computation are available?

asciilifeform: tried to come up with a mechanical mapping back from bin to what produced each section in the elf
asciilifeform: even wrote buncha ida script idiocy

asciilifeform: gcc, as one might imagine, does not go out of its way to help this be a readily practical thing

asciilifeform: the one thing the fucking parasites couldn't effectively plagiarize without leaving trace
asciilifeform: but this had a cost, yes.
asciilifeform: i will note that llvm (since i mentioned it again) is upon the most cursory examination a piece of shit, that wasn't even built to 'be good' - but simply with the one and only purpose of killing gcc.
asciilifeform: rms is spot-on here
asciilifeform: it exists, was built, to help him die.

decimation: gpl is pretty weak sauce unless you have a barrel of lawyers to help you enforce it

asciilifeform: that will come flooding in as soon as he's out of action
asciilifeform: it is already seeping through the cracks.
asciilifeform: has been, for some years now.
decimation: yeah, as far as I can tell gpl only really 'sticks' to fsf software directly
asciilifeform: gpl is really primarily about gcc and linuxkernel

asciilifeform: y'know how some hoster folks let you drop an iso in when you get the thing

mircea_popescu: i intend to remain able to type my entire lifespan.
decimation: well, the other reason I use electric: one less engine to maintain
asciilifeform: what kind of grass mircea_popescu cuts in his flat, lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in timisoara i had a garden recall ?
asciilifeform: aha!
asciilifeform: yes.
mircea_popescu: well, that.
decimation: no gas to store, no oil to change, etc
mircea_popescu: and it was about 1/4 ton of grass each cutting.
mircea_popescu: which means about 20 in a year, which the neighbours helpfully PUT OUTSIDE BY THEIR DUMPSTERS.
mircea_popescu: then went to supermarket and bought feed for the poor yard.
asciilifeform: l0l
mircea_popescu: then they will wish to know why isis comes and beheads them
mircea_popescu: and it will be an unexpolainable hatred, i'm sure.
decimation: mircea_popescu: generally here the received wisdom is that you want to leave grass clippings on the lawn
asciilifeform bbl, playing with pet
decimation: rots, recycles nutrients
mircea_popescu: decimation what i did was pile it all in a corner.
mircea_popescu: also rots. also provides nutrients. can be split up over the yard beforer first snow.
decimation: yeah, that works too
mircea_popescu: also attracts birds.
decimation: you can add kitchen scraps and wood clippings, make good compost
mircea_popescu: ideally you start it with a good offering of herbivore droppings.
decimation: that's a good idea
mircea_popescu: and i did add the wood clippings, ie, me cutting off an apple and a pear tree into shape over a coupla years, after having been neglected for 5ish
decimation: I've also heard of going to the nearest swamp and grabbing the muck
mircea_popescu: not very useful, for your thing will not be either that wet or that basic. very acidic
mircea_popescu: horsesht the only way to go.
decimation: yeah that's a good idea
decimation: ^ note that this is how people made fertiziler since the dawn of time
mircea_popescu: just don't put anything coniferous / wallnut in there.
mircea_popescu: like the ornamental tree stuffs.
mircea_popescu: "You don't have to boot frmo the CDROM. And if you need a router you have a network and therefore can connect to another machine."
mircea_popescu: Date: 19 Aug 1999 15:38:56 -0700
mircea_popescu: imo nsa of 1999 was much better organised than the crap of today.
mircea_popescu: For instance: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf ("Hello World\n"); } compiles to 985,018 bytes. This is almost all libc overhead.
mircea_popescu: what is it by now ? 4mb ?
decimation: heh
decimation: it's only 8.3k on mac osx
mircea_popescu: that's pretty good.
decimation: 6.4kbyte on redhat 6
decimation: that's shared linking though
mircea_popescu: nonono, static
decimation: heh 743kbyte on redhat
mircea_popescu: mmkay.
mircea_popescu: incredible that this "free world" thing has waited patiently, and incredibly quietly, for 25 years for us to show up. i imagine it will be very hurt in its hopes and aspirations when i spit in its mouth.
mircea_popescu: because truly, it was waiting for salvation! resisting through culture!
mircea_popescu: they really did mean to assassinate hitler!
mircea_popescu: just biding their time, waiting for a good opportunity, honest! wanted to do maximum damage, and as we all know, ~MAXIMUM~ damage is always in the future.
mircea_popescu: what's needed is a fucking ISCS. the intellectual state of computer science.
decimation: heh
