http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/asciilifeform/2019-12-04#1003151 - thank you sir, and crib away... just not quite sure what you're referring to, the use of LUT for (x+1)%5 or whatever it was?

asciilifeform: It's baking

16:43

yay

BingoBoingo

Working out the mechanics of how the lul in question works

16:49

BingoBoingo: pm asciilifeform if you end up stumped, will help.

asciilifeform: cool, I do look forward to getting back to ffa reading; I might need to make a less crazy schedule happen first.

17:51

jfw: as i understand you have quite a few other things going, having enlisted w/ diana_coman

17:51

Meanwhile, my article of today should answer one mystery

(trilema) 2019-08-01 asciilifeform: dorion: you will have to show your local modification if you want to be 100% certain wtf yer node is doing.

17:52

jfw: but if you do get to ffa i'ma very readily help, dun hesitate to ask q's here & in www comments.

17:52

indeed asciilifeform, ty.

17:53

jfw: just read it in fact. neato. in fact on my conveyor shortly is a proper sweep of my trb collection , ending w/ keccakization of the vtree i personally baked own nodez from.

17:53

Glad to hear it!

17:54

asciilifeform: is that v-tree different than the trb one or what do you mean?

17:54

diana_coman: jfw observed, correctly, that there are patches that in fact asciilifeform wrote, but never signed regrind of

17:54

this is disgraceful and to be corrected. but 1st i gotta actually reread the material.

17:56

*

asciilifeform does not know how interesting this output will be to folx on other side of berlin wall from asciilifeform , but gotta do it for ~own~ hygiene, rather than for other folx, primarily

17:56

gah, would you stop with the berlin wall and fatwas and whatnots.

↖

17:58

diana_coman: it's not meant as a flame, i've no grudge w/ the folx who distrust.

17:59

if anything, highest compliment to a technologist is when 'hater' still uses $item. like usa cloned kalash.

17:59

isn't it easy to just let people make their own mind as it shows through their actions? anyways.

17:59

indeed.

17:59

maybe, but note that "hater" is *your* addition, at all times here, this is exactly what I'm saying.

18:02

diana_coman: i indeed took your advice, to avoid 'psychoanalysis' and instead work on tangibles (which in fact found much easier nao that broke addiction to flamefests.)

18:02

diana_coman: above wanted to point out tho, that folx to whom ' asciilifeform signed in 2019 ' dun mean what once did, will have to do own walk of patches etc.

18:03

that is anyway a given.

18:04

indeed and imho is the sorta thing folx oughta have been doing at all points. 'liking people' interferes, want or not, w/ properly aggressive treatment of publications.

18:05

for instance : i put a considerable effort, when baked FG , into making provisions for the 'yoke test' mode. but afaik no one ever bothered to attempt it, aside from asciilifeform .

18:05

I don't quite think so; laziness surely interferes with signing other people's patches and I expect it interferes with reading more deeply other people's code too.

18:06

diana_coman: imho not only laziness, but in fact rational time logic. folx think 'what is point of wot, if not to avoid bringing into question erry single thing $author did'. time being finite, this is not necessarily wrong.

18:07

the part where "read but don't/didn't sign" is starting to get also positively insulting in my books.

18:07

mno.

18:08

diana_coman: re 'read but not signed' -- i puzzled over this shortly after built 'v', and did not come to satisfactory pill. seems that presently very many folx 'i read , but not Truly Eaten, daren't sign' . i also .

18:09

asciilifeform: is that you on eucrypt?

18:09

diana_coman: not only eucrypt ( where at least signed the starting material was made from, if diana_coman recalls ) but dozens of other worx

18:11

imho the ~meaning~ of signing still remains somewhat poorly defined ( folx sign 'with proviso', 'as-found', etc ) but this not having formal structure, encourages dodges

18:11

then that Truly Eaten is up there with The Holy Gospel and all that.

18:12

and yes, it's possibly precisely one of those things that end up doing more harm than good; and keep people petrified because omg, not All Those Capital Letters Yet.

18:12

*

asciilifeform defo ~not~ fit to 'throw the 1st stone' re 'sign, you bastards, you read, i explained it to you, why not signed', guilty as the rest

18:14

atm afaik diana_coman is the all-time 'read, analyzed, publicly vivisected, signed' champ.

18:15

for all the good that does to me, myeah.

18:16

diana_coman: well, it cemented diana_coman's reputation as pedagogue; and nao have an actual school, w/ students. imho this is a win

18:17

oh, you mean they came because of my vpatch signs?? I rather doubt it.

18:17

no one dragged the students screaming into the school, they came because read and the methods -- appealed.

18:17

anyway, I'm not complaining re my deeds at all; I just wish others would stop being so blocked really.

18:18

it is difficult to argue w/ this.

18:20

diana_coman: (speaking only for self) asciilifeform neither blocked, nor 'quit in disgust', but atm preoccupied w/ 'unsexy' ( believe or not, folx subscribed boxes, and asciilifeform ended up w/ nearly full 'job' setting'em up. ) after this, going back to software. incl. such that other folx may find of interest. in particular would like to incorporate jfw's mathematical wins, into 'peh' .

18:21

supposing he doesn't in fact do the reverse, faster and cleaner. i wouldn't be surprised.

18:21

jfw imho strongest maffs fella to have appeared since apeloyee .

18:22

he also has a business to develop.
