asciilifeform: mats: i assume you had most recent mainline trb (i.e. with 'aggression' ) ?

asciilifeform: cuz if not, then no surprise that it dun propagate tx, can't propagate if aint talking to peers

BingoBoingo: Update on the Christmas tradition known as "Hay ladrones por Navidad. Ladrones de los barrios pichis van a Pocitos a robar": God damn this place is rural. Two off road style 4-wheelers seen being ridden by kids in the streets and Police tucked away everywhere drinking Mate and dicking around on their cell phones.

BingoBoingo: And a bunch of Tienda Inglesa locations are apparently going to be open tomorrow.

BingoBoingo: And there is a general transit strike that coincidently happens to overlap with when transit is shut down anyways.

asciilifeform: in other quasi-news, 1 pseudo-puzzler solved, from horse's mouth: 'United States Flags Should Remain at Half- Staff Until Sunset on December 30, 2018 in Honor of George H.W. Bush '

mats: asciilifeform: i used the prev build. after updating to mainline, no issues getting a tx out

asciilifeform: guten tag, mircea_popescu !

asciilifeform: impressive dead bridge. a++ 'indiana jones' tropical hell.

asciilifeform meanwhile got hold of a gigantic flatbed scanner, with afaik densest available sensor, '9600x9600 dpi', which in human units is ~3 micron / pixel. which'd be aaaalmost enuff to simply scan the die, if i had the naked die... but i'ma scan the pcbs with it, and the xray film, when i get hold of the latter.

asciilifeform: after that , ch14b, where i found a ~20% (linear) speedup.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm just back from dumping a >500 word comment into diana's blog ; this thing is going critical

mircea_popescu: btw diana_coman can i rely on <b><em><blockquote> working in your comment section ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: neato

mircea_popescu: (there's a special settings page for listing allowed tags, and i'm starting to suspect this should be standardized by now -- tho why the fuck is it <b> rather than <very-nice-and-thickly_bold> and wtf is <blockquote>, <bq> was taken ?!)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for some a++ depression fuel, try sometime & tally up how much life html tags ate

asciilifeform just in this month burned 2+ wks on fucking formattingism

mircea_popescu: not depressing me, because being forewarned permitted me to organize my life around defense.

mircea_popescu: i expect i spent <week total to date with them. which yes, since you ask, i am quite proud of.

mircea_popescu: much like the man who didn't lose the house in MMM hysteria might be proud : naggum has a snippet with y2k

asciilifeform: indeed does

mircea_popescu: sometimes i think the ~only social product of females in this country is the yelling out of various names, sometimes interspersed with "venga" or something.

asciilifeform: in other oddities and 'where on the net is this discussed? nowhere?', http://www.loper-os.org/pub/bolix/bolix_lamp_peek.jpg << old-fashioned 2layer pcbs are interestingly transparent to visible light. (obv. whole thing, aint, but give surprising amt of info otherwise not accessible )

asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/bolix/bolix_chinesium_macro_test.jpg << 2nd peek from bolix torture room; chinesium macrolens testfire

asciilifeform: ( the 'vertical' drams aint visible in flatbed, so therefore this )

asciilifeform: possibly overkill, but i'm quite tired of 'oops, this 1 whisker aint visible in shitphoto, nao let's redo'

asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/bolix/bolix_chinesium_macro_test_2.jpg << ditto.

asciilifeform: the rest, will post when whole orchestra post.

asciilifeform bbl,teatime

diana_coman: mircea_popescu, fixed the "whe" and thanks for the comment! Can you believe that summary is actually...5k words and a bit to spare too?

diana_coman: from what I see in the paste you did not use "" for the links though?

mircea_popescu: oh wait, is the expected format <a href=""></a> rather than <a href=></a> ? (this'd be new to both the w3c and mp-wp_

diana_coman: in some parts you had "<a href=gwrg> gjw</a>" and in some parts no "" at all

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> sometimes i think the ~only social product of females in this country is the yelling out of various names, sometimes interspersed with "venga" or something. << The retards here do "Vení" instead

asciilifeform: hmm, selections js thing dunwork for comments apparently

asciilifeform: i'ma quote from the orig then:

asciilifeform: http://ossasepia.com/2018/12/24/a-week-in-tmsr-10-16-december-2018/comment-page-1/#selection-95.505-95.623 << mircea_popescu is implication that this is an underhanded thing to do ? cuz i dun see any diff b/w trinque's wallet eating unsolicited coin for the glory of trinquedom, and asciilifeform swallowing unsolicited packets ( i.e. without valid customer ip as dest addr ) ditto

asciilifeform: ( ftr nuffin interesting's shown up in the hopper of yet, possibly because BingoBoingo not yet gotten around to setting up the route )

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> hmm, selections js thing dunwork for comments apparently << Depends on how far the theme stretches the selectable area.

asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: yea so i gather from reading the thing

asciilifeform: in other noose, opensores photo 'stitchers' really suck.

asciilifeform: ( even in most trivial case, flatbed with 0 distortion )

asciilifeform: http://hugin.sourceforge.net for instance ( i dun even know of any serious alt- to the thing ) . author apparently is militantly retarded, thing feels free to cut pieces from the inputs moar or less randomly

asciilifeform: the microscopists evidently use ~something~ other than this piece of shit.

asciilifeform: if anybody knows ~what~, plox to write in.

asciilifeform: i'ma share a pair of example inputs: http://www.nosuchlabs.com/pub/bolix/pic/ivory_bottom_a_super.jpg http://www.nosuchlabs.com/pub/bolix/pic/ivory_bottom_b_super.jpg (warning: 300MB! each!) . ☟︎

asciilifeform: ( and , for completeness, a second, http://www.nosuchlabs.com/pub/bolix/pic/ivory_top_a_super.jpg , http://www.nosuchlabs.com/pub/bolix/pic/ivory_top_b_super.jpg , whynot . again ~300MB ea.! )

asciilifeform: if there lives a hero who knows how to merge the 2cm of ugh that dun fit on the bed -- plox to write in. meanwhile i'ma attend to other items on conveyor.

asciilifeform bbl,maffs room

lobbesbot: amberglint: Sent 1 week, 2 days, 6 hours, and 46 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-16#1881109 << if you found the src, might be interesting , otherwise not imho esp. useful

amberglint: asciilifeform: I'm not aware of alternatives, but maybe this advice from a microscopist will make Hugin useful: http://www.righto.com/2015/12/creating-high-resolution-integrated.html

amberglint: btw, I was considering asking this microscopist if he wants to help you with the Ivory micrograph, but after the last attempt I'm not sure if it's a good idea ☟︎☟︎
