a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 23:41 asciilifeform: one possible path could be to start with google's crapola 'depthcharge' booter src, but it won't build (tried) with standard tooling, and currently i haven't a box where to put their horror show
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: contour ?
mircea_popescu: whether some magic bitpile goes in somewhere, for instance.
mircea_popescu: get an idea of whereabouts they've been clever.
asciilifeform: it isn't so much a 'clever' but that there's a whole pile of iron drivers
mircea_popescu: or that, i guess.
asciilifeform: some of which aint in the demo rk3399
asciilifeform: all i really need from the bootrom is to do what uboot on pogo did, i.e. see the disks ( internal ssd, usb, sd ) , read some classic partitions ( e.g. ext3 ), load kernels ( in human, not google, format ) and present pogo-style uboot cmdline for these.
asciilifeform: initially i assumed that stock rk3399 uboot will do ~something~ detectable, even tho it lacks support for the lcd or the oddball kbd chip, given as i have uart
asciilifeform: but nodice, nuffin on uart
mircea_popescu: well, so see what googleturd does differently.
mircea_popescu: but yes this promises to be a slog.
mircea_popescu: maybe not even bother building it, just scan through
asciilifeform: it's a 8MB turd
mircea_popescu: so grep through it for half an hour, what's it cost.
asciilifeform: been digging through it all summer, on an' off
asciilifeform: it's a ~completely diff codebase from stock uboot
asciilifeform: interestingly, the dram init turd differs from the stock rk3399. and doesn't seem to be published in their repo. i'd like to try ripping theirs, but so far not even able to determine where it ends and their booter begins
asciilifeform: ( i.e. where to cut )
asciilifeform: the biggest headache is to get to where ~something~ gets shat forth from the rk uart.
asciilifeform: after that, 'only stamp collecting'
mircea_popescu: hm
asciilifeform: then can debug. until then - blind
asciilifeform: ( or to use trad terminology, 'bricked'. tho i have 'unbricker' nao, possibly the only one outside of the inca palace for this iron )
asciilifeform: ( unbricker worx 100% btw, when flash back vendor shitware, it runs as before )
mircea_popescu: not bad.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : Margot Asquith (very much a stupid cunt, of the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-05#1810279 pile of garbage) once met hane jarlow, who promptly mispronounced her name. to which the "wit" cleanly retorted : "no, no, the t is silent, like in harlow". ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 18:05 mircea_popescu: aand in other items of entomological interest, the wikipedia take on politicized pseudo-literary criticism is something else. aphra behn is lionized, because they're ever-so-desperate to discover, invent or if need be entirely hallucinate "remarkable" cuntbearers of the shakespeare period that some random jailbird is A HEROINE OF FEMINISM!!!

mircea_popescu: e just that, ideals, AND THEREFORE WONT YOU AGREE FAGGOTS ARE HUMAN TOO!!!
mircea_popescu: it really should be watched side to side with http://trilema.com/2015/very-bad-things/ (a deeply religious piece about how whores aren't all thart cool and die for it whereas worthless "good" girlie's a very unique being that every male gotta worship!!!)
mircea_popescu: vhs america might be ridoinculous enough, in its evanescent existence in the mind of a very selected few (principally, sovblok immigrants) ; but "cultural marxism" america is holy shit hysterical.
mircea_popescu: to a large degree for the same fgucking reason, i suppose : that it only ever existed in the mind of a very select few, who however didn't have the excuse of poverty, or of distance, or of so very many other things that protect the rusophone moron from the full brunt of his wilful stupidity.
mircea_popescu: the cab driver with a leningrad doctorate, gone to new york to "this is america!" is almost endearing ; the iowa farm girl gone to new york to "i r become a writer" is just... ☟︎
diana_coman: in other travelling news: child was asked what did he see in costa rica? and he answered truthfully : he saw...Hannah aka hanbot
diana_coman: I can't say I don't see his logic there
diana_coman: from his point of view and at further prodding it sort of turned out that monkeys are funny, macaws are nice and the ocean + sand ok but by far the most interesting and important is meeting Hannah
mircea_popescu: ehehe HE IS RIGHT! in spite of his young years!

mircea_popescu: well then!
diana_coman: hanbot, lol!
mircea_popescu: i's true, actually. QUITE A LOT!
diana_coman: this reminds of that time when they had a "drama taster" at nursery and I asked him whether he liked it: "I liked it; a bit; not as much as playing with the hammer!"
mircea_popescu: lamo
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly enough, i knew a chick like that ; she was going to get her big break in poetry IN CLUJ
mircea_popescu: at a time if you put the whole population in a shaking machine you wouldn't have likely shaken a million loose.
mircea_popescu: kids that grow up like c.s.lewis, ie forsaken, end up with a sorely overgrown notion of the importance of the self.
asciilifeform: i suspect you can get moar 'big break' selling wine to winos, than the written word, in whatever form
mircea_popescu: but people WANT TO "big break" from "writing". it's sorta like women who aspire to be paid for fucking.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i find it interesting that ww1 didn't cure him

asciilifeform: paulgraham -- before turning into the infamous huckster -- had a piece where 'which biznis should you get into if you LUVV gardening?' '...recovering data from damaged hard disks!' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ww1 was not what you imagine. the controlloing aspects are http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/#selection-3045.2154-3045.2200 in the theoretical and http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/#footnote_155_80959 in the practical.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: plox to expand ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's terrible advice. "recovering data from damaged hard disks" is a "business" in the sense "painting and decorating boobies" is a business. nobody gets boobies anymore on account of bacterial diseases being exticnt.
asciilifeform: as i understand , it was a perfectly decent meatgrinder, 'speshul snowflake'-eater
mircea_popescu: and i'll expand, but read the references first.
asciilifeform read, believe or not, whole thing
asciilifeform: but how was 'throwing curve'
mircea_popescu: well ? "don't attack enemy lest he attacks back" localized peace somehow sums up to a war over the interval ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when pg wrote this, in late '90s, hdd surgery was still a seller's market
mircea_popescu: incidentally, you know who n p billing was ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'local peace' would go, for, what, week at a time ? before somebody cuts loose
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun think so?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he said it is a ~business~. it's not a business. if tomorrow civilisation ends scavenging its remais will be a large activity, but still not a business. "business" means something!
mircea_popescu: billing was this fellow who famously sued a bunch of establishment faggots over his theory that faggot conspiracy is the cause of ww1 failure.
mircea_popescu: somewhat like "reddit" umm how did the expression go...

mircea_popescu: aha.
asciilifeform: loox like a moar erudite ver of the pizza folx, yes
mircea_popescu: it's fundamentally what it is, "confederacy" of "independent" men alone going at teh establishment. the dent they make always takes the same shape
mircea_popescu: it's approximatelly an L
mircea_popescu: it'd seem self-evident that if a buncha doods carrying an L etched on their forehead go banging their heads on a chunk of concrete insistently enough in large enough groups, the L will eventually to some degree and under some lights transfer.
mircea_popescu: yet somehow, never self-evident to the pizza folks.
asciilifeform: i'm not even convinced that billing's 'britain run by fags' thing were untrue. but the part where it is 'from german wreckers' is pretty rich
mircea_popescu: but this is precisely how it goes!
mircea_popescu: you know for a fact pantsuited hilarity traded in children. the part where it was run from a pizzeria in wash dc... well...
asciilifeform: see also the 'elders of zion' mega-bestseller.
asciilifeform: imho the canonical example.
asciilifeform: idjit peasant cannot invent devils that 'can only see through microscope', he has never laid hands on microscope. so they will inevitably be devils that you 'can see' by rubbing chicken shit in yer eyes.
mircea_popescu: economics disposes : the dynasty was hannoverian ; at the time cheap fuckmeat was both prettier (ie, higher quality) and cheaper had in rural hannover than in rural lancastershire. so unsurprisingly, cousin bob fucked little boys at cousin joe's house, rather than the reverse.
mircea_popescu: if you live in miami and your cousin lives in akron, it'll be he who comes to your studio for doing coke, not you to his.
mircea_popescu: thus therefore, the fecalscopy scientists identified "german subversion plot".

mircea_popescu: hence, "train failed to correctly play the part tard assigned it"
asciilifeform: aha, prolly thought 'i'ma push it aside with little finger'
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is, the os, was actually novel/interesting in aspects -- e.g. implemented the ~only~ known example of http://www.loper-os.org/?p=256
asciilifeform: the sad bit, tho, is that he gave up pretty early on re: actually making the thing boot on physical iron. erry copy i got hold of, ran in vmware strictly.
mircea_popescu: i recall.
asciilifeform: that was his first, and from my pov, really the last, splat, against the wall
asciilifeform: (rather than the train)
asciilifeform: e.g. gabriel_laddel, then proceeded to re-enact the same splat
asciilifeform: 'if i close eyes wall will surely vanish'
asciilifeform: it's a remarkably common failure mode.
asciilifeform: ( i can see why asciilifeform's approach, 'dig for years with a spoon, maybe eventually make hole' is not 'sexy' and does not appeal. but it imho beats splat. )
mircea_popescu: depends on how precious you think yourself.
mircea_popescu: "I am not to be common, Kyle, ok? I am a creature like no other. I know that. I am a creature like no other. And I will not -- I willnot be common. " ☟︎

mircea_popescu: well ? slow approaches that work may well be "too common".
mircea_popescu: god knows it's been the recorded problem of teenaged boys throughout civilisation.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think it is clear that if digger aint willing to contemplate 'maybe i die before hole, but next one will dig, cross the barbed wire over my corpse' will dig no serious holes.
mircea_popescu: or rather, will dig no holes in any serious matter.
asciilifeform: well yes, will dig until 'too hard' and go gabriel_laddel'ing somewhere.
