05:41 spyked anyway, I got the c101pa because I need a lightweight machine for travelling. so I might as well assess whether it's possible to build a somewhat sane system on it for productive work.

07:57 a111 Logged on 2018-10-08 18:50 diana_coman: in other possible interesting things: I got invited to give a talk to students at local uni (Reading, UK) on "bitcoin and blockchain"; personally I'm not all that keen on it but given the recent ideas regarding reach out and all that, I am at least considering this; any input on this is welcome
08:07 mircea_popescu spyked interesting regrind-with-historicity.
08:08 mircea_popescu previous thinking was generally that a regrind pretty much means collapsing a whole tree into a single genesis patch. but thinking about it i don't see why that has to be the case, if there's the hands to do more fine work.

09:46 asciilifeform ( theoretically theirs is 'open sores' but building it requires a multi-GB toolchain that i never succeeded in getting to run )
09:48 asciilifeform if you can build it, potentially quickest pill is to transplant the trad fs logic from uboot to it ( google's shitware demands that the kernel lie on a custom googlistic partition, and be 'signed' with their sad-rsa in custom format etc )

10:25 asciilifeform and guten morgen mircea_popescu !
10:26 mircea_popescu heya.
10:28 asciilifeform my current understanding is that '1 genesis' regrind is when yer ready to 'swallow' a proggy into own project , and take over its maintenance with own hands ; 'history' is when regrinding own proggy, for manifestism/keccakism etc
10:29 asciilifeform ( 'swallowing' is not mutually exclusive, necessarily, with supplying patches upstream to orig -- diana_coman , for instance, 'swallowed' ada-udp , but did also post patches for my tree, a+++ )

10:37 asciilifeform it's the 1 with the barrett proof.
10:39 * asciilifeform still carrying on with the promise given in ch1 , 'you oughta be able to eat a ch in ~1hour'. tho i do not know if succeeded to date, so far no one said how long it took'em to eat

10:47 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: is this re that time in old world where mircea_popescu drove commie 'poet' to death of drink ?
10:48 mircea_popescu turns out there's a 2010 version of "mp has spaceship wtf"
10:48 mircea_popescu asciilifeform this is a futurist/urmuz-style satyre of what was perceived in ro context as my strictly insane perspective on things
10:48 mircea_popescu "wash ?! BWAHAHAHA WHAT NEXT!!!"
10:49 mircea_popescu https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/The_cow_pock.jpg style
10:49 asciilifeform i was somehow under impression that in those days ~errybody with a comp and a modem in ro regularly read mircea_popescu
10:49 mircea_popescu (likbez : 1800s people thought vaccination will lead to cows coming out of people)
10:49 asciilifeform famous pic
10:50 asciilifeform iirc was split b/w 'grow udders' and 'god's wrath' variants
10:50 mircea_popescu yeah but the more biological horn seems more interesting to me. the other just stale dry biscuit.
10:50 mircea_popescu "something happened ? god's wrath!" not exactly much intellectually adherent.
10:51 asciilifeform 'biological horn' made comebacks when blood transfusion 'oh noez, will subsume personality of donor' and then in '80s for pig organs and whoknows nao
10:51 mircea_popescu yup.
10:52 mircea_popescu and all this just because women take on the personality of the cock they wrap around.
10:52 * asciilifeform brb,teatime
10:53 mircea_popescu though, the important part isn't of course "how insane that was", but rather ~how reasonable~. the reason it's even called "vacca-cination" is because original 1800s version preceded a good understanding of microbics, and was purely "if this done, this comes out" black boxk of human body approach. used literal chunklets of infected cow to generate immunity in humans to DIFFERENT strain of virus (ie, measles, like cowpox, same
10:53 mircea_popescu glycoproteins on cover thus crossimmunity works).
10:54 mircea_popescu the perfectly sound logic being that "if we follow the proponents, and believe stuffing human with selecrted bits of beef, has medical effects of a type, why not believe it has medical effects of another type!"
10:54 mircea_popescu which isn't insane in any sense, on the contrary, ~fucking reasonable~.
11:00 mircea_popescu and incidentally, it's only called vaccination to convey the (at the time important) notation that "it's like variolation, but with cow bits". because exposure to variola infected tissue had been used for half a century or more by then.

16:43 asciilifeform ( starting with ch12 all ffa tested strictly on ave1's gnat )
16:44 asciilifeform granted ave1's gnat still has 'miles to go' in some aspects, gotta be de-autoconf'd ( asciilifeform aint ever signing ANYTHING with autoconfolade in it ) and genesis'd. but it worx a++, is portable (to arm, currently) and is frozen, which is good bit moar than can be said for adacore's thing
16:48 diana_coman hm, if it's indeed the tmp thing, it might be worth a try to press vtools to current leaf (i.e. vtools_tempfile_standalone or _notmp) and see if that cures it; my archive contains pressed vtools to ksum patch only, not further
~ 36 minutes ~
17:24 bvt lobbes: i am also interested in learning which gnat version/type and vtools leaf was used, and seeing strace output; i thought this error can happen only on adacore gnat >=2017 with a strict libc (which rejects 3-character template)
~ 27 minutes ~
17:52 spyked hey trinque, you still on for changing rss bots? I should be around for another 30 minutes or so. depending on the number of feeds/subscribers, it may take me a while to check/add everything, so we could do this in two steps: you send me the subscriptions (pm, #trilema and everything else) tonight whenever you can, and then I'll add them tomorrow and fire up feedbot whenever you're available to turn off deedbot rss
17:57 trinque spyked: lets do that, sounds good.
17:57 trinque sorry about that, got dragged into something in meatspace meanwhile.
18:02 lobbes diana_coman, bvt: this was indeed a newer adacore (from May 2018) https://www.adacore.com/download. I'm going to look into the tempfile thread alf mentioned. may very well be the same issue

18:02 lobbes however I'm not sure even -strace- is working (or perhaps I'm just doing it wrong). for e.g. here's an strace of just "./vk.pl". It just hangs and gives nothing else (same as if I strace the press or just strace "cat /dev/null") >> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/QN42P/?raw=true

18:02 lobbes at this point I'm thinking I may just retry this on, say, the rockchip. I dun want to burn republican hours on what just may be debian/shitgnome strange.
18:03 * lobbes is soon going to grab a spare lappy so as to test out cuntoo and finally have a sane os with e.g. ave1's gnat, etc.
18:03 asciilifeform lobbes: that doesn't look like a strace output
18:03 lobbes hm
18:03 bvt please use strace -f
18:03 lobbes will do
18:05 bvt howeve i see that you are stracing a vk.pl, not vpatch itself. tracing vk.pl would give too much information, it would help to see only strace -f vpatch < patches/eucrypt_genesis.vpatch
18:11 spyked trinque ok, np.
18:11 * spyked switches off for the night
18:15 lobbes btv: I wonder if just my strace is borked. here's the trace from vpatch < patches/eucrypt_genesis.vpatch >> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/GU1GJ/?raw=true
18:15 lobbes for comparison, here's "strace -f ls" >> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/tqhRh/?raw=true
18:15 lobbes seems borked there as well
18:17 lobbes anyways, I'm try this later on a sane os, and with a gnat < 2017 (will also re-read some of the recent gnat threads).

So I'm not really failing, if you want to find out my intelligence you should just message it.'
18:37 mircea_popescu how can one even come up with this shit ?
18:38 mircea_popescu this whole fetlife thing has firmly convinced me i'd have been deeply unequipped to convincingly write a millenial before. one really needs to experience the unleashed stupid to be able to conceptualize just what garbage these shitstacks are.
18:41 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: that or http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-20#1873867

18:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i can't conceive how this'd be mechanized.
18:43 asciilifeform wainot ? just seed the eliza with buncha variants of same garbage 'ugh i can't see what's in the msg box' and yer golden
18:44 mircea_popescu eliza will come up with the idea of "messaging her intelligence" ? ie, enact it as a distinct-disembodied-totem of herself ?
18:44 asciilifeform there's, what, 5 or 6 things they emit ( incl. the 'i have a dom' , 'i am a dom', etc claptrap )
18:44 mircea_popescu this sort of procedure creates high poetry, to be remembered over the millenia. if, of course, in the hands of humans as opposed to whatever-us-got.
18:44 asciilifeform 'if you want to find out my $keyword just message it'
18:45 asciilifeform stock eliza will perform a++.
18:45 asciilifeform just set the knobs.
18:45 mircea_popescu asciilifeform if you're going to pattern-match this closely your "eliza" will be ~alphabet sized. 1tb phonebook not really "artificial" in any sense, merely parrotlicious.
18:45 asciilifeform it's a really notbad idjit-emulator.
18:45 mircea_popescu it's terrible.
18:45 asciilifeform of course parrot. how else.
18:46 asciilifeform the 'people' are very similar parrots tho.
18:46 mircea_popescu this is the point im making. before fetlife lulz, i thought as you do, "eliza a+ idiot emulator"
18:46 mircea_popescu utterly not true.
18:46 mircea_popescu not formally similar, no. substantially ~identical, yes. functionally predictable. formally mindboggling.
18:47 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: ever try bot that picks 2 derps and sets'em against 1 another ?
18:47 mircea_popescu (you understand, what she ~actually means~ is that i should send her whatever test i want her to take, ~in the form her Divine Mother taught her to test-take~.)
18:48 asciilifeform hm in point of fact didn't
18:48 asciilifeform i had nfi how to parse 'just message it'
18:48 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it doesn't work, because believe this wonder! they have built-in de-engager (they follow complex rules as to the volume of comms, that look oddly reminiscent of "why fusion won't go")
18:48 asciilifeform electron shells? pretty interesting.
18:50 mircea_popescu as a very basic intro level (like "atom is cake with electron raisins in it"), they have a 60% rule, where the response wordcount will be on a curve centered on ~60% of input. yes sometimes will answer 120% or like in the rare case quoted yest, perturber in excited state, 600%. nevertheless, if you sum over the millions...
18:51 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: didja ever rule out hypothesis that there's a diff heathen pit where moar % actual people and fewer % elizas ?
18:51 mircea_popescu "This despicable targeting of our brave service members will never be tolerated," said Director Andrew Traver << top keks, check it out, "it's not child porn NAO!!!"
18:51 asciilifeform or is there really just that 1
18:52 mircea_popescu asciilifeform there's 1 with more, not fewer ; then there's the 100% bot items, like http://qntra.net/2016/12/ashley-madison-settles-again/
18:52 asciilifeform these yes ( iirc even their actual eliza proggy leaked )

18:53 * asciilifeform wonders how many kilometres of eliza log mircea_popescu ends up reading per 1 actual nicoleci worth of yield
18:54 asciilifeform just how many tonnes of sea water per kg of U
18:54 mircea_popescu the current estimate is about ~1 ppm, give or take 65%. which i'm sure she'll love to read in the log. howdy slut!
18:56 asciilifeform about what % reach the stage where mircea_popescu bothers with keyboard input ?
18:56 mircea_popescu but anyway, i usually read the extreme scores, if doing nothing in particular. not exactly a waste of time, the shit that gets dredged up...
18:57 asciilifeform heh, it's prolly moar interesting that e.g. server lint trap contents, yea
18:57 mircea_popescu asciilifeform greatly depends on how inclined i feel lol. maybe 15ppm or so.
18:58 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, think -- spam trap WITH LIVE IDIOT on other end. did you never feel like "hey, are you stupid ?" @those doods ?
18:58 asciilifeform notbad, if 1 in 15 that actually take manual input, end up turning into nicoleci
18:58 mircea_popescu usually i write to mock/amuse self not to select/instruct, tho.
18:58 asciilifeform makes sense
18:58 mircea_popescu ie this conflates two rather different interests.
18:59 asciilifeform yrs ago when asciilifeform earned bread as a sort of spammer exterminator, also usually engaged manually for own amusement, rather than to any particular other end
18:59 asciilifeform ( extermination dun usually require ~speaking~ to the roaches )
19:00 mircea_popescu right ? suppose you found your wife through chain of events thereby started. shall i ask you %q's about wife-finding now ?
19:00 asciilifeform no, makes sense.
19:00 mircea_popescu for what it's worth, chet & i ran into each other on meanwhile-defunct 2d game /me briefly played while being hidden away in a bunker many years ago, to not go entirely fucking mad.
19:01 mircea_popescu whereas hanbot & i ran into each other literally on collarme forums.
19:01 * asciilifeform could prolly happily live for yr in a bunker with net pipe
19:01 mircea_popescu yet i am convinced you can play 2d games until the end of creation not unearth me another chet.
19:02 mircea_popescu asciilifeform period mp had exactly 0 theorems to prove.
19:02 * asciilifeform also did not always have theorem to prove
19:02 asciilifeform but sure.
19:03 mircea_popescu the encounters of intelligent people always have this mocky flavour, "fuck me, i was sitting here looking for a bitcoin game now it seems i'm going to qatar ?! these people ask the wrong fucking questions!"
19:06 mircea_popescu anyway, for citizens interested in more serious work : i shall prolly delay report making for a few days, because well, this month started with apendicitis hanbot, and i'm not going to force the very pleasant locals to set up their er/surgery hotel with my complicated red boxes.
19:08 * asciilifeform wishes a speedy return to health to hanbot
19:08 mircea_popescu she is outside danger.
