mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: not the problem. my thing builds on both adacore's and trad gnu gnat. << yeah not sure what the problem is. it's a binary installation of gnat via apt-get, so that, i'm sure is part of the issue. however, it works better than the first ada configuration that I had, which, didn't work at all.
mod6: My thinking is that, if i need to be able to use all the switches ad denoted in your makefile (since my mine doesn't seem to allow for that), I may need the adacore configuration.
mod6: I'd be happy to try anything on my environment for you if it were to help sus out what might be wrong with it. I truly have no idea where to begin on this thing.
mod6: not even sure if that's possible... will look
mircea_popescu: mod6 possibly not aptgetting a binary but instead building source may fix it for you ?
mircea_popescu: it's not all that rare that precompiled binaries are incorrectly marked and don't actually run on specific setups
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yea, but one of those things, works if it works and doesn't if it doesn't.
mod6: i can, i guess, bundle all those deb packages and send 'em.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: plz repaste your barf << ok, shall I rerun your make, included with the fact.tar.gz ?
mod6: yup. totally unchanged. am posting...
mod6: np, thank you for the help!
mod6: im not sure what it doesn't like about 142, 146 -- they look like a lot of otherlines in ffa. so not sure what it thinks isn't kosher.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 possibly not aptgetting a binary but instead building source may fix it for you ? << yeah, this is always a bad idea. only reason i did it, was to get an ada env stood up quickly. i had a super weird problem on the first environment that I tried on. the gnat version didn't match the gcc version and was getting like non-determinstic errors.
mod6: so, as a trial, i set it up on my eulora box.
mod6: and, suprisingly it worked.
mod6: my goal is to get gnat setup on gentoo, but the main problem is there, you have to hand-roll the entire thing because the gnat package for gentoo requires gcc6
mod6: well, like I was saying in #trilema-mod6 around that same day was, perhaps we're going to need to start freezing some of the things required to stand up a gcc4+gnat4 if it becomes required. i have a fear that this shit will start to disappear eventually.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: the official adacore gnat installs in 3minutes, but with obvious caveat (you live with binarolade) << yeah, i see they do have bins, but was going to custom handroll my own, to not only get one sanely built for my own environment, but will also allow me to set whatever ./configure flags I might need for optimizations.
mod6: asciilifeform: yah, gentoo is looking for a package maintainer for gnat.
☟︎ mod6: im more referring to the massive tarball that you get from adacore
mod6: it actually distributes a ton of inner packages (requirements) like, gcc, gdb, zlib, etc etc.
mod6: (instead of just being a tar of just it's own source0
mod6: i guess i didn't realize that, i thought you just, ofc, need a working gcc.
mod6: aha, ok. i get what you're sayin'
mod6: my apologies to anyone following along.
phf: presumably original version was assembled by jean ichbiah out of twigs, a simula compiler, a UNIVAC machine, a chicken, a wrench, a discarded truck tire. the process was documented in BUILD-PROC.TXT.3
mod6: ok, so i dropped on a binary install of adacore onto my gentoo environment here just to test...
mod6: will grab alf's fact.tar.gz nao, and see if it works.
mod6: asciilifeform: also, what's weird is, despite the errors in the last paste above, an 'ffa_fact' binary is still compiled.
phf: nah, lisp has been using the same image file since the early mccarthy days. each consecutive versions were implemented by manually patching the image file roughly into the needed shape all the way to present implementations
phf: kind of reminds me of those personal homepages of schizophrenics back in the early days of the internets
mircea_popescu: kinda reminds me of the various "cryptocurrencty" and "blockchain" communities.
mircea_popescu: in other sads, i spent most of the day at the local celebration, which included ~1000 horses. everything smells of manure.
mod6: oh, weird, i installed everything to /usr/local/gnat
mod6: and i already added: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/gnat/bin to my ~/.bashrc
mod6: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/gnat/bin; export PATH
mod6: <+phf> kind of reminds me of those personal homepages of schizophrenics back in the early days of the internets << scammers.
mod6: fwiw, if i just run `gnatmake ffa_fact`, does not error.
mod6: never did, that always seems to work. can't figure out why it says "gcc: error: language ada not recognized"
mod6: either way, think I should run the ffa_fact test?
phf: nah, you guys, there used to be sites, geocities style, made by actual schizophrenics. they were awesome. it was the kind of place where they discussed bildeberg and complained about the high doses of lithium or whatever prescribed by their doctor (who was taking direct orders from ronald reagan who was secretly still controlling the shadow government of the united states through the high concentration of ...)
mod6: see how long it takes? this is a core2duo (old box) with 4gb of ram

phf: oh yeah, timecube, but that one is almost legit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect they're still there ; unfindable now because we stupidly decided to take google seriously.
mircea_popescu: when i was a child, i read a story, well written in the fantastic realist embryonic style. it contained a lamp for making darkness, which struck me then as the pinnacle of antipossible objects.

mircea_popescu: mahahahaybe a few of them will actually manage to find a job instead of dicking around online, but it seems unlikely. who wants to employ an idle ustard and what useful could they do ?
mircea_popescu: but at any event -- i do not care what bitcoin client joe reddit "uses". he has no money in the first place ; and even if he had money he has nothing interesting to do with them. sloshing the payola back and forth from one usg pocket to another is scarcely worth wasting paper, let alone bitcoin ledger.
mircea_popescu: jane reddit may care, or at the least pretend to care what bitcoin client joe reddit uses, in obvious exchange of joe reddit pretending to care about "that one time she was almost raped".
mircea_popescu: but they, both joint and several, can't possibly influence the world.
user705: Bitmain seemed pretty serious with it's footstomping though
mircea_popescu: and not because it would be racist to try ; but because they are impotent.
mircea_popescu: bitmain can either make bitcoin miners or not make bitcoin miners. this isn't evben a choice -- for as long as they can they'll make, and once they become irrelevant they won't make. whether they also whine with it or not... who cares.
user705: true but they certainly can try to cut off the nose to spite the face so to speak
mircea_popescu: so let them. if it works we needed a new bitcoin anyway.
mircea_popescu: and if it doesn't work, it'll just be case #517 or whatever the count is at of self important ustard dorks.
mircea_popescu: next step on ethereum's fascinating journey being "the one weird trick hacker used to make 74 trillion"
mircea_popescu: outbrain eagerly awaits the brainchild of mit, or, to quote, "She does stink. And she should quit. But I don't want it to be because of me. It should be the traditional route. Years of rejection and failure until she's spit out the bottom of the porn industry."
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: I could not find an output from Google Calc for: 0*75 = 0*70
mircea_popescu: well jhvh1 look into the official coindash slack channel then
deedbot: Floog voiced for 30 minutes.
floog: some dude who found your blog and found the conversation interesting enough to lurk
mircea_popescu: incidentally alf dilutola would make a great postapocalyptic fizz
deedbot: daffadil voiced for 30 minutes.
floog: im trying to understand the purpose of V.from the python code it seems like some sort of interpersonal network tool, but that's about as far as i've been able to get
BingoBoingo: To be fair, V is the premier tool for anti-social networking
daffadil: "Friendship" is just a transient software patch that we install on one another.
mircea_popescu: actually, let's save on teh upload and tell you the plan :
mircea_popescu: lettuce create a bitmap image 1024px wide, 32 bit color depth, so that each factorial is followed by a white line, and each pixel from left to right contains 3 bytes of data.
mircea_popescu: that "abstract art" work we shall call the colors of factorial.
floog: okay, that makes a lot more sense now
floog: contravex/bitcoinpete
BingoBoingo: Rochard's thing that occasionally archives pete
deedbot: floog voiced for 30 minutes.
floog: i thought it had more to do with tracking people in your wot, which ive just become barely familiar with. but i only briefly skimmed the V.py implementation
floog: a brief skim clearly wasnt enough
mircea_popescu: yes, the ample towers and bridges of the most serene republic's capitol may take a while to mentally unwrap.
mircea_popescu: sina's actually working on something closer to your original idea, gossipd.
floog: ive been looking for something to mentally unwrap, so it seems ive stumbled into the right place
mircea_popescu: oh and consider registering your key so you can voice.

deedbot: You are now voiced in #trilema
floog: well, the intro seems all too relevant to my current situation as a "software engineer" at a hightraffic clickbait website
floog: at least it pays for the whale of student debt from the private uni that my parents convinced me was a good investment
floog: emphasis on 'poor'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform heh i guess you're the internets sageprobe authority. cuz everything is online and mit keeps churning out experts
mircea_popescu: in truth avbout half engineering careers of any brightness started with a 15yo in a junkshop going " i wonder if worth "
