mod6: you wanna see my script I'm workin on?
mod6: (this by no means is finished, but interested to see what you think about the direction i'm taking)
mod6: so what I'm hoping to accomplish here is to alter the .mk files that accompany buildroot, so they pull the 3rd party reqs directly from the foundation site instead of wherever they currently point to.
☟︎ mod6: im not sure this is the best way to handle this
mod6: i think it'll work though. my rotor+v054 script would run this script after extracting the buildroot package
mod6: i have one more bridge to cross yet, and I havent gotten that far yet; having a script of my own somehow check the sigs & hashes after the file xfrs are complete.
mod6: i do see what you're saying in a sense I think.
mod6: it's a tough pill to swallow to sign & rely on such garbage
mod6: many wheels to reinvent.
mod6: in the short term, is there a way to maybe do this better that I'm missing?

ben_vulpes: so it's arbitrarily parallelizable, right?
ben_vulpes: okay, do function definitions make sense in this paradigm?
ben_vulpes: so they'd have to be "pure" (to borrow a fp-ism) in order to serve the arbitrary parallelism definition?
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell Naphex yes yes but what about all of the much more difficult questions re statements and income and equity and depreciation and whatnot
ben_vulpes: okay asciilifeform another strike at the fortress of incomprehensibility then
ben_vulpes: so i take the little proggy i've written--would i need to do anything special to it in order to take advantage of more m^2 of compute fabric?
ben_vulpes: so there must be constraints on the programmering style in order for an arbitrary program to be arbitrarily parallelizable
ben_vulpes: this is probably horrendously wrong, but i currently imagine some 'main' program entrypoint with subsections that indicate their parallelizability. is this entirely wrong or correctably wrong?

mircea_popescu: apparently the entire "you can't have private conversations with people you don't know" thing is just too hard for the average intuition.
nubbins`: adlai traditionally in the art world, people like to refer to inkjet prints as "giclee"
adlai has no idea what you're talking about, officah
nubbins`: from the french, "to squirt jizz"

mircea_popescu: nubbins` no, giclee was an actual thing. back before the americans got involved.
mircea_popescu used to do art photography, made and sold actual prints etc.
nubbins`: yep and the actual thing was -- a fancy inkjet printer.
nubbins`: i don't even have the same parts
nubbins`: but in total seriousness, giclee was originally meant to specifically refer to printouts from IRIS brand printers
nubbins`: (micro piezo heads instead of shit "bubble jet" heads -- the spirit of IRIS lives on in Epson printers today)
adlai: mircea_popescu: that's why you call it a segradoodled addroose, instead of bitcoin
nubbins`: micro piezo = voltage-controlled ink density
mircea_popescu: anyway. the machine used, an iris printer, uses fine glass rods under high pressure, which print continuously.
adlai: the Sufficiently Smart Econ should be able to tell them apart
mircea_popescu: there is SOME similarity with inkjet, exactly of the nature of nubbins` womanhood.
adlai: humans are another story, but they're allowed to fend for themselves
mircea_popescu: nubbins` right. you ever seen either the thing or its output ?
mircea_popescu: the damned thing worked in the mhz, not the khz stuff epson piezo does
mircea_popescu: (not that even so reduced it's visibly better than the other inkjets)
nubbins`: now we're measuring intercourse by the speed of thrusts?
nubbins`: anyway you're correct, turns out IRIS printers use electrostatic too
mircea_popescu: anyway. plenty of people who saw the item and its products actually blew the 100k or w/e it cost (ie, the cost of like a dozen houses in the us at the time)
nubbins`: have seen "authentic" giclees, they're a rare bird these days
mircea_popescu: anyway. my abandoning the entire "art photography" thing is pretty much in step with iris' demise as a thing.
nubbins`: iirc epson picked up the fine-art slack when IRIS declined
mircea_popescu: the unfortunate thing with them is that 10 yr is not the same as 10 hr.
adlai: ok, candidate #2: "I don't know what language it'll be in, but by the time trb prints a code, it'll be with sticks and stones"
nubbins`: ink longevity has come a long way since then too
nubbins` uses dye inks rather than pigments, (perhaps foolishly) choosing gamut over lightfastness

danielpbarron: isn't down syndrome more like obesity, in that it is one step removed from whatever the bad thing is?
mircea_popescu: not really. it's a congenital defect. as fundamentally broken as it gets.

BingoBoingo: What if you skip the wife label entirely and just keep concubines?
mircea_popescu: technically speaking one could just sit down and shut up for the next 50 years. but that doesn't mean one should, necessarily.
danielpbarron: in the "great broad" example, it sounds like some sort of adultery or fornication is taking place, or else you would marry her first

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron well wait, it gotta be based on principle not how it makes you feel.
