00:00 asciilifeform d00d (stephenson) 'got it'. and as i understand it was his 'last hurrah', he went to shit soon after.
00:02 asciilifeform 'anathem' is many things, and one of them is a what-if-naturalphilosophy-had-happened-in-monasteries.
00:02 asciilifeform but it dun really fit in 'sound bite'.
00:04 phf i suspect the spectacular failure of his sword project is what sent him downspiral
00:07 asciilifeform fuqknows
00:07 asciilifeform i swallowed not only 1 but 2 pieces of rubbish from post-anathem stephenson and that was enuff.
00:08 asciilifeform d00d is done.
00:08 phf oh, he wrote something else besides seveneves?
00:08 asciilifeform 'reamde'. but there is rumour that he had 0 to do with the text, let some idjit relative pen it
00:10 phf sounds like a decade update attempt to cryptonomicon
00:10 asciilifeform unrelated, it's an 'airport detective'
00:10 asciilifeform 100% crapolade.
00:11 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760180 << i'ma confess, i have nfi what is or could be 'elegant c'
00:11 a111 Logged on 2017-12-29 03:02 esthlos: elegant C exists, but the limits of the language the complexity it can handle without exploding into incomprehensibility.
00:12 asciilifeform there is such a thing as maliciously-ugly c. i.e. what koch et al write.
00:12 asciilifeform there is not, however, a meaningful opposite.
00:12 asciilifeform there is a 'non-malicious c', i suppose.
00:12 * asciilifeform did publish some c, at some point
00:13 asciilifeform i.e. consistently-formatted, using 0 'idiomaticisms' ,

00:13 asciilifeform minimal pointerism, indirectism as a whole.
00:13 asciilifeform but it remains -- c.
00:14 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760183 << you really ought not to touch c unless you can picture in yer head the asm , when reading it; and vice-versa ( for your particular iron )
00:14 a111 Logged on 2017-12-29 03:05 esthlos: even with small C projects I start to panic when I realise I don't know how it works anymore
00:15 asciilifeform this is not a 'brinism' but quite elementary pons asinorum
00:15 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760185 << it is unreasonable to ask ~machine~ to enforce intellectual discipline. machine cannot do this, it's an 'ai-complete' problem.

10:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform nibble was a HALF BYTE! and a byte was REGISTER WIDTH. so no, it wasn't customarily 4, it was customarily half of 8 for as long as registers were 8. nibble today should be 32 bits.
10:41 * mircea_popescu should put this in the very blog in question but plox take out that damned chicken clucking thing.
10:41 asciilifeform consider the approach in ffa. only critical bottlenecks, that soak up 90+% of cycles and create an impractically-slow rsa op , get massaged ~to the extent necessary~ , and without compromising type safety
10:42 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: a byte is still 8.
10:42 mircea_popescu not in my ideal world ;/
10:42 asciilifeform this is a persistent confusion , byte vs register , in mircea_popescu's head, and will have to be cured
10:42 mircea_popescu a byte is fucking 64 bits in all compliant machinery.
10:42 asciilifeform lol i'm for 11bit bytes then!1
10:42 mircea_popescu for some machines.
10:42 asciilifeform rs232 et al eat 8bit bytes, sadly
10:43 asciilifeform no practical way around it.
10:43 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, i understand why the sins of the flesh make this unavoidable. but it's still fucking wrong god damned it all to heck.
10:43 asciilifeform in that sense binary-logic was the original sin.
10:43 asciilifeform ( asciilifeform has written on the subj in the past, and will again )
10:43 mircea_popescu and why the fuck would you maintain it in a place which has no need to maintain it. ffa is free from said flesh.
10:44 asciilifeform nope. it relies on binary shifts, and on bitnesses being powers of 2
10:44 asciilifeform makes karatsuba cut cleanly.
10:44 asciilifeform ( abolishing the otherwise inescapable copying and special-cases )
10:44 mircea_popescu but not on "byte" meaning anything other than what it does, which is to say... "how much the machine takes in at a time"
10:45 asciilifeform afaik all of the routines as they stand nao, will work on nontraditional bitnesses of bytes and bytenesses of words
10:45 mircea_popescu i know.
10:45 asciilifeform but not nontraditional arity of bit.
10:45 asciilifeform all of them but the FFA_IO items and the hex_digit thing.
10:46 asciilifeform it also so happens that i do not own a non8bitbyte iron to test on, nor know where to obtain such.

12:30 asciilifeform ahahahahalol
12:30 asciilifeform onlywinningmoveisnottoplay(tm)(r)
12:30 asciilifeform or am i mixing my 1980solade
12:31 phf asciilifeform: serve event is a cmucl way of tracking streams of every kind (since no threading, repl mainloop is a reactor pattern). sbcl has just lifted the whole thing, but then never really redid the architecture
12:32 phf so that's why you sometimes get an infinite error loop with fd-register somesuch when you abruptly lose connection
12:32 asciilifeform this wasn't an abrupt- anything
12:32 phf right right
12:32 asciilifeform it was a whole majorversion of sbcl that simply won't usocket..
12:32 phf can i fucking finish?
12:32 * asciilifeform ended up digging up another and replacing
12:32 asciilifeform aha?
12:34 phf so instead of addressing the core machinery, they put these hooks all over the place, where some things are part of serve event, and some are not. anyway, you ran into the fact that 1.0.42 introduced a flag to socket-make-stream :serve-events, which is true by default. it was later changed to false
12:34 phf but usocket probably defensively passes serve-events nil to make sure that "legacy" machinery doesn't kick in, because nobody knows about it, or wants to deal with it
12:35 phf relevant patch https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/commit/6e02a5455aeef5a4642a2334348544c1f19775ad#diff-912df0bf4505a2db68a4b714e475e225R385
12:35 asciilifeform ugh
12:35 phf yo, modern sbcl!
12:36 * asciilifeform can't wait to tip that particular cement mixer..
12:36 phf if you want all of your compatability layers to work, you are forced to run trunk of everything.
12:36 phf (which is by the way not what i do, i just fucking fix. every. single. fucking. piece. of. quicklisp. packaged. code. i. get. my. hands. on. motherfuckers)
12:36 asciilifeform gotta post these fixes
12:37 asciilifeform or at least the process whereby produced.
12:38 phf it's not added up to coherent whole yet. so far the conclusion is that compatability layers are evil, and that you basically have to maintain own versions of everything that abstracts your lisp implementation details
12:39 asciilifeform of everything -- period
12:40 asciilifeform otherwise you have 'submarine with screen door'.
12:40 phf it would be perhaps worthwhile to triangulate sbcl towards a common deployment platform
12:43 phf and it is submarine with screen doors. it's possible that asdf in vpatches is the door through which the horror comes.
12:43 phf (not to mention what i bring up all the time, that asdf itself is the horror now)
12:44 asciilifeform i expect there'll be plenty of rubbish in the genesis. as there was in trb.
12:44 asciilifeform point is that it becomes removable!
12:44 asciilifeform and naturally no pulling-in of anything , in asdf or other packagetron, that hasn't been vgenesised.
12:44 asciilifeform ( or whole effort is that very same submarine )
12:44 phf one solution could be to, e.g. post cl-irc, but hard coded to a specific sbcl implementation. whoever wants to port it elsewhere (like cmucl or whatever) can just post a #-sbcl #+cmucl vpatch, etc.
12:45 phf (fwiw ircbot is already sbcl specific, since it relies on a bunch of sbcl threading extensions, so pulling compat layer for cl-irc is a waste)
12:46 asciilifeform nao this is so. it prolly oughta use naked sbclism for sockets.
12:46 asciilifeform or even ffiism

13:43 ben_vulpes phf: neat summary, ty
13:44 ben_vulpes i started vendoring swaths of lisp code recently myself
13:44 ben_vulpes while useful in some contexts, once phf said 'asdf is a pig with lipstick', could not unsee.
13:59 phf ben_vulpes: note that older versions of asdf actually work. i've been running 1.369 in my cmucl, and it does require manually updating half of your asdf to remove various later extensions, but it works
14:01 phf 1.369 is 1548 cloc vs. 3.3.1 10789!
14:01 asciilifeform holyfuq
14:02 phf there's actually some extensions that are not necessarily evil (like :email or :author in a defsystem), bulk of fail comes from test-op, that's not supported in old version, but that nobody uses test-op consistently at all
14:03 phf also particularly gendered packages outright put #-asdf3 (error "requires asdf3") and ~usually~ it's because they silently rely on uiop, far's unix compatability layer
14:05 phf fare claims somewhere that he solved a gnarly dependency resolution bug in asdf, but the nature of bug is never revealed, and SAT is never mentioned (i suspect most bugs in asdf would be SAT related)
14:06 asciilifeform sat ??
14:06 asciilifeform as in n-sat ?!
14:07 phf sat as in satisfiability problem
14:07 asciilifeform why is that in there??
14:07 asciilifeform v dun have a sat-solver!!
14:08 phf well, dependency resolution is a SAT problem at its core
14:08 phf and there's probably no formal sat in asdf. i'm saying that bulk of dependency resolution problems would come from sat though
14:09 asciilifeform again observe, v runs without a general satsolver.
14:09 asciilifeform why it -- can, but asdf liquishit - cannot ??
14:10 asciilifeform lemme guess, there are blocking packages ? that can't be used together on 1 system ?!
14:10 asciilifeform i.e. a 'not gate'
14:13 phf v runs with a special case of sat solver. i don't understand which part of "asdf doesn't have a sat solver" and "sat is never mentioned" is not clear. i'm saying that whatever dependency resolution is always a special case of sat. you put some contraints on it (no cirlces, etc.) and then you can have special case solutions.
14:14 asciilifeform lol in this sense an adder is 'specialcase of satsolver'
14:14 asciilifeform errythingis
14:14 phf v also doesn't solve all the problems that asdf attempts to solve (for example compilation dependency)
14:14 asciilifeform i'll bite : how not ?
14:14 asciilifeform if your universe is vtronic, you dun have 'dependencyproblems'. definitionally.
14:15 phf v relies on build systems to actually build
14:16 phf so your entire makefile logic is outside of scope of v
14:18 phf for example one thing that i tried with my lisp workflow is to have the system automatically compile/load touched files in their order of appearance in a v patch. but the order here is explicitly linear, requires fiddling with patch order, and is definitely not how we use it now
14:23 phf also v doesn't recognize state. in a tree A->B pressing to A, then loading, then pressing to B, then loading is different than pressing to B right away and loading the result
14:26 phf obviously not designed for that, but the assumption here then is that you're running a fresh instance for each fresh press, which is suboptimal for a lisp (this particular detail will likewise come up when v is run on an always-on system of any kind, be that a cuntoo or a lispm)
14:29 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760893 << this is a thing to be eventually fixed.
14:29 a111 Logged on 2017-12-29 19:16 phf: so your entire makefile logic is outside of scope of v
14:29 asciilifeform ( incidentally gprbuild, which is used in ffa, is quite interesting. )
14:30 asciilifeform and to the extent lisps dun play nicely with freshly-pressed instances -- it is the lisps which are broken
14:31 asciilifeform the irreplicable-churning-pot-of-liquishit mentality that always-on items tend to suffer from -- is a disease, will have to be cured.
14:31 asciilifeform *extant
14:35 phf lisps deal with freshly-pressed instances as well as anything else: by doing a clean restart. my point is not lisps, my point is that current solution assumes lack of state and delegates the problem to a non-v-tronic build system
14:35 asciilifeform phf: i was thinking of cures in the vein of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-27#1758977
14:35 a111 Logged on 2017-12-27 02:01 asciilifeform: picture a kind of 'multiverse ada', where you dun call foo(bar), but instead foo:somepatchid(bar:somepatchid) etc, explicitly conforming to 'multiversism'...

17:02 mircea_popescu is the entirety of this fiddling you going "i'm curious how this thing could work/break at the edges?" or is it rather "i wonder how i could run a v tree as an infrastructure node without reboots" ?
17:04 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760903 << rather the current design deproblematizes state altogether (in this sense of state, and problem). hence his comments re "then lisps are broken".
17:04 a111 Logged on 2017-12-29 19:35 phf: lisps deal with freshly-pressed instances as well as anything else: by doing a clean restart. my point is not lisps, my point is that current solution assumes lack of state and delegates the problem to a non-v-tronic build system
17:05 mircea_popescu but from a sustainability pow : eulora server currently restarts weekly ; not necessarily because it absolutely must, but because i deliberately did not want to provide a "continuous" item in this sense.
17:06 asciilifeform the 'holy grail' is items which are demonstrably safe to operate continuously -- i.e. fsa with no wedge states. these are not so easy to achieve; FUCKGOATS is one example
17:06 mircea_popescu i can understand the fascination with "this orrery has been in clickety-clacking continuously since 1625", but let's point out that it relies on a) THIS orrery, as opposed to "constantly changing randomly pile of cogs" and b) it's a discrete mechanism, like the human heart. it takes a break every beat. essentially the problem has been hidden, by these, not resolved.
17:06 asciilifeform ( and 1 of the few readily accessible pieces of digital gear that fit this description , afaik )
17:06 mircea_popescu asciilifeform fuckgoats still is THIS orrery, rather than "hotswappable"
17:07 asciilifeform actually you can hotswap the analogue boards
17:07 asciilifeform this is in fact part of uncrating test, recall.
17:07 mircea_popescu but not the controller.
17:07 asciilifeform why not ?
17:07 asciilifeform i do it regularly, when testing'em
17:07 asciilifeform not as if the serial dongle gives a fuck
17:07 mircea_popescu while getting entropy out ?
17:07 asciilifeform well for a short while there ain't any, when nothing plugged in
17:07 asciilifeform but also no faux-entropy
17:08 mircea_popescu THIS orrery. not "some collection of parts".
17:08 mircea_popescu asciilifeform exactly.
17:08 asciilifeform 4 parts ( serialdongle, controller, the 2 analogueboards )
17:08 asciilifeform can replace in any order and any subset
17:09 mircea_popescu the point is that item either a) operates continuously, provided it is THIS item, ie, this specific collection of parts or else b) is stopped while beingt serviced, ie having a cog replaced. there's no clock that works while having its cogs switched around.
17:09 asciilifeform in point of fact it dun stop when you pull 1 of 2 analogueboards
17:09 mircea_popescu nor is there such a thing as triple bypass while running a marathon
17:09 mircea_popescu nor is it reasonable thereby to expect "this lisp instance runs while a new press gets pulled in"
17:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: phf's observation was re how lisp systems often accumulate GBs of state that takes weeks to re-create programatically
17:10 asciilifeform which is troo . and 'not bug, but feature' and in fact plays poorly with vtronics
17:10 asciilifeform but i still blame the lisps, not v.
17:10 mircea_popescu i thought it was re his difficulties in updating the machinery behind btcbase without downtime
17:11 asciilifeform iirc 1 of the ways he got the thing to stand up reliably was via exactly 'save-lisp-and-die' snapshot.
17:11 asciilifeform but i'll let phf answer the particulars of this.
17:11 mircea_popescu i seem to recall this
17:11 * asciilifeform brb, meat
17:11 mircea_popescu i also seem to recall he didn't like it for some reason. anyways.

18:48 a111 Logged on 2017-12-23 16:38 shinohai suddenly wonders if pete_dushenski has ever seen those steam-powered clocks that are in Canada ....
18:50 pete_dushenski can't have too many public clocks though. so much the more if they're technically novel.
19:05 pete_dushenski just read about the 5451-piece richard mille "jura" clock in quebec city, as it happens, and i'll definitely be checking it out next time i'm there. apparently the thing took 6 years to build, which isn't so hard to believe when you see that incorporates a perpetual calendar (which knows leap years from non-leap years, unlike an annual calendar), rementoire d'egalite (for improving accuracy), and equation of
