mircea_popescu: im pretty sure it was a "raspbian" ie, extra-lame-ubuntu
mircea_popescu: listen. the zynq is a 64 board ; and it's in the adacore's list of somewhat supported packages.
mircea_popescu: now, it has a whole pile of "intel me" bs (did i mention - xilinx ?) but nevertheless
mircea_popescu: alternatively, freebsd had a thing for arm64 that may be able to compile a gnat capable to compile your gnat ?
mircea_popescu: seems certain it'll be one of those intermediate-steps-bootstrapping deals.
mircea_popescu: so that;s why "nobody has published". thousand eyes don't do work.
mircea_popescu: hey, check out the blogger from ealirer, there's enough stream of consciousness commentary there to last a legion of talk therapist.
mircea_popescu: anyway, im pretty sure the adacore people were fucking around with arm64 at some point. maybe asc gingold or someone ?
mircea_popescu: that';s the point, the support contract. can ask gingold and actually expect an answer, as opposed to hope for one.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise it's very much not different in any meaningful way.
mircea_popescu: just... here's the political reasoning : symbolics went to shit ~in part~ because nobody was there to corrupt the idiots involved into turning arms against the empire of stupid that spawned them and stab it in the back.
mircea_popescu: adacore is perhaps the closest contemporary approximation ; why not pay them a little for their pompous if economically dysfunctional "moneymaker" and then brazenly ask them to help you ruin the whole thing ?
mircea_popescu: technologists are universally treasonous, that's fundamentally what the word means, a new face on the old "bastard", son of no father. they might go for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform indeed ; the easiest target is the upperclass housewife.
mircea_popescu: other than that, there's also the spoon+swamp of "get sorta-gnat compiled on arm64 freebsd, use that to compile real gnat, use that to..."
mircea_popescu: avoidable. sooner or later the bootstrap problem kicks in.

trinque has considered using the portage profile feature for this

trinque: but, if already saying we'll be curating ebuilds I don't see much of a point of the latter
trinque: and we have to eat all of portage, or we'll be in the position I was in when I handed current cuntoo script to diana_coman

mircea_popescu: then they believe (pretend to "think critically", but do no such thing, simply believe) rank nonsense like "global warming" because... THE MODEL!!! the model reminds them of the simplified characters in the manga they loved as children and the general deus-ex-machina atmosphere fits well with their only formative experiences.
