01:13 a111 Logged on 2019-02-18 03:18 asciilifeform set up a rebuild of ave1 gnat (june) on dulap, with http://bvt-trace.net/2019/02/gnat-zero-cost-exceptions-and-asynchronous-task-aborting-part-2/comment-page-1/#selection-163.2-167.52 . tomorrow will see what came out of this.
01:14 ave1 also, I was working on the september version, but I'm currenlty stuck on the aarch64 port, something with the jmps, files being undefined etc.

For one thing I'd much rather download from a republican site and for the other as experience has already amply shown, any external site WILL move them, change them, drop them and it will at best br

03:56 diana_coman eak your scripts, at worst make it download something else.
~ 4 hours 5 minutes ~
08:01 asciilifeform ave1: i changed mine to work from local copy of the tars, back when first tested. is there anyffin else new in the sept. ver.?
~ 3 hours 21 minutes ~
11:23 mircea_popescu this is a good idea. put the hashes somewhere and there you go.
11:24 asciilifeform i'ma put whole thing in a signed manifest
11:25 asciilifeform sadly had to restart the experimental build ~2h ago, botched the config last night
11:26 asciilifeform strangely , the -j32 thing aint working for good chunk of the build, possibly dun apply to the bootstrap gnat..?
11:26 asciilifeform really this whole thing oughta take ~30m on dulap ( 32 cpu )
11:30 mircea_popescu so why doesn't it ?
11:31 asciilifeform looking at the kilometre of bash that comes with the thing, for the answr
11:32 asciilifeform ( the fact that diana_coman's built in ~1h, suggests that i broke my local config there )
11:32 mircea_popescu possibru
11:33 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this run is a test of bvt's 'kill weaksymbol-ism' pill
11:34 mircea_popescu it's such a wonder to me that thing links.
11:34 asciilifeform realized when i woke up that really oughta have first tried plain-old sjljistic ave1-gnat , and see if this cure is even necessary there
11:34 asciilifeform ( will do after this one )
11:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it aint built yet, so cannot yet say 'it links'
11:35 mircea_popescu myeah.
11:39 * asciilifeform wonders if he's the only 1 who is disgusted at released opensores 'flagship' soft that builds with 9000km of warningolade
11:43 mircea_popescu the warning list prolly changes by machine.
11:43 asciilifeform they aint machinistic warnings. mostly 'uninited variable', 'missing sentinel', etc
11:44 mircea_popescu lol
~ 41 minutes ~
12:26 asciilifeform aand it built. nao to see ~what~ built..
12:36 feedbot http://trilema.com/2019/the-secret-of-santa-vittoria/ << Trilema -- The Secret of Santa Vittoria
12:37 asciilifeform result : builds with bvt's patch with 0 eggogs, his tarball test functions 100x w/out segfault
12:37 asciilifeform but this is with zcx. then went to build with sjlj, found, grr, that it :
12:37 asciilifeform gnat1: RTS path not valid: missing adainclude and adalib directories
12:37 asciilifeform despite both paths being set correctly
12:38 asciilifeform looking in the log, iirc diana_coman had same issue, & cured
12:38 mircea_popescu wunderbar
12:38 asciilifeform notyetwunderbar, still gotta 1) sjlj 2) try test w/ naked one and see if pill even necessary
12:39 asciilifeform not to mention 'test may reveal presence of bug, but never absence'(tm)(r)
12:41 asciilifeform would also like to see wtf i did to the -j32 thing
12:41 asciilifeform ( currently it's a 4hr build, lol )
12:42 asciilifeform and hrm, loox like we still dun have a genesis for this thing
12:43 asciilifeform ave1 are you gonna bake one ? someone's gotta, and i will with own hands if no one has it
↖
12:43 mircea_popescu he should, really.
12:43 asciilifeform imho yes
~ 20 minutes ~
13:04 * asciilifeform currently wonders why the fuck an aborted thread needs to unwind its stack frame by frame, it has no further biz in this world after it stops, so wtf even for, new thread gets entirely new stack
13:05 asciilifeform i can see that it might have to let go of any locks it holds, but what if holds none ? this is easily shown at compile time
~ 1 hours 17 minutes ~
14:22 asciilifeform meanwhile, in world of ancient warez finds : http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/warez/artek.zip << ada-83 compiler for msdos, circa 1987.
14:24 asciilifeform fits on floppy...
14:25 bvt hello. quick report: i bootstrapped avegnat using asciilifeform's tar (thanks!), had to change the the paths in linker scripts and la-files, will make a post on that.
14:26 asciilifeform neato
14:26 bvt ran the tests for exceptions race, libgcc is fine in gcc4.9, locks are in place, so it seems that it is indeed another gcc5ism
14:26 asciilifeform bvt: built with sjlj mode ?
14:27 bvt nope, zcx. sjlj can the next step
14:28 asciilifeform fwiw mine also worked ( i.e. didn't bomb in bvt't test ) on zcx. but not tried sjlj yet.
14:28 asciilifeform ( as i understand, battlefield proggies will use sjlj moar or less exclusively )
~ 19 minutes ~
14:47 mircea_popescu bvt there's reasons we picked gcc 4.8/9
14:53 mircea_popescu incidentally re http://pizarroisp.net/2019/02/17/pizarro-isp-february-17th-update/#selection-45.0-45.26 -- you can't practically wait with this whole thing until either aarm64 is fixed or the aliens invade. what are you gonna do for capacity ?
14:53 mircea_popescu and i somehow still don't see the only item of any import in there, which kinda makes the whole list derisory.
14:56 asciilifeform BingoBoingo mircea_popescu has point : are you gonna produce a list of spammees, or just what is it you have hands full with, and asciilifeform has to dredge the net with own hands and halt all other work ?
14:59 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: I'll have a list of targets tonight
15:00 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: ty, would really like to see motion on this front asap
15:00 asciilifeform and would rather not have to do whole thing from scratch
~ 18 minutes ~
15:19 asciilifeform re capacity : also needs discussion. currently considering rk array (1u), two x64 boxen of dulap type, and additionally a set of apu1d4 (see logs, or https://archive.is/8JBbH ) .
15:19 asciilifeform re rk -- not errybody is running ada proggy, and errything else appears to work quite well there.
15:20 asciilifeform in part the exact mix will depend on what BingoBoingo yields in terms of userbase prelim. hunt
15:21 asciilifeform and on what existing userbase says ( asciilifeform still ! waiting ! for any passengers ! to stand up, re http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-15#1887214 . if none by end of this wk, i will assume there are none ! )
15:21 a111 Logged on 2019-01-15 15:32 asciilifeform: it is also time to speak of the next crate. and the customary four cargo slots. 1 is to contain a replacement for uy1 ( and ideally will run cuntoo . ) 1 will contain a 1u that holds rk's. this gives 2 1u slots remaining, they can be occupied by colo passengers, if these stand up and wish to ride , or pizarro irons, at BingoBoingo's option.
15:22 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: if no passengers stand up, crate will contain 100% piz buildout materiel . and would like your input on precisely what, also asap.
15:27 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: it is also my understanding that the new rk is presently idle. if this is still so, i'ma commandeer it for propaganda ops. lemme know.
15:31 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: plox to make use of mircea_popescu's suggested, in log, leads for the hunt, but do not limit to it
15:33 * asciilifeform bbl,meat
~ 1 hours 33 minutes ~
17:07 mircea_popescu asciilifeform your problem's open tho, what the heck are you gonna do, put up more arms we can't compile for ? put up something else ?
17:08 mircea_popescu if bitcoin were moar entrepreneurial we'd see stock price movement in pizarro whenever such events happened lol.
~ 26 minutes ~
17:34 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: new rk is indeed idle

18:36 mircea_popescu meanwhile in look what i found, http://trilema.com/2011/de-ce-se-duce-sua-de-ripa/
18:50 BingoBoingo What a coon
18:52 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: ty, will take a look shortly, 1st would like to macroexpand mircea_popescu's point
18:53 mircea_popescu i was looking for that pic a whole ago, you know. "where's the one with the bunch of them huddled together like so manby peasantsa"
18:54 mircea_popescu possibly at the time of trump's washington dinner "humiliation". by whom, by this crop of the barn-born ?
18:54 asciilifeform what we have this wk, is a 'sjlj-gnat dun go on arm64'. i dun expect this is a permanent disease, but i do expect it'll take time to fix, esp. if asciilifeform has to do with own 2hands. until then, rk cluster is stuck with the obsolete compiler ( which runs e.g. 'lamp stack' and even zcx-gnat , but obv. won't run the emerging standard sjljistic one until fix. )
18:55 asciilifeform so asciilifeform leans to installing a qty of x64 boxen of roughly same cost profile as rk ( but with added bonus that they eat sata drives ) : apu1. these also have bonus of published electrical schematic and custom asciilifeform bios from src.
18:55 mircea_popescu how many cores in the rk cpu ?
18:56 asciilifeform 4 .
18:56 asciilifeform and in apu -- 2. but apu still cleans its clock for most processes, oddly enuff (tho not by large margin)
18:56 asciilifeform ( this is somewhat of a black art, it is probably possible to come up with a benchmark where the rk wins )
18:56 mircea_popescu well, doesn't seem like the end of the world, then, to say "this is the rk, has so and so list of advantages as before discussed (truly independend box, etc) and the one drawback meanwhile discovered that you can't really do tmsr-like threading in ada on it, which may be fixed later"
18:57 asciilifeform correct.
18:57 mircea_popescu doesn't seem like the end of the world to "can't thread properly" on a 4 core box.
18:57 mircea_popescu so nothing really lost here.
18:57 asciilifeform the apu loses on physical space ( it takes the sq. metrage of 6 rk , just by itself ) and cost ( +30% over rk ) aand naturally x86itude.
18:57 * mircea_popescu is satisfied.
18:57 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i'd still like to see the arm64 wtf resolved
18:57 asciilifeform cuz srsly
18:58 mircea_popescu sure.
18:58 mircea_popescu but it's not actually seated on anyone's neck.
18:58 asciilifeform presently correct.
18:59 asciilifeform i.e. i won't be holding up the expedition for its fix.
18:59 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: apu wins substantially on 1 score -- it can eat ~3~ msata ssd's
18:59 asciilifeform and equipped with 3 GB nics.
19:00 asciilifeform ( on rk, 0 and 1 respectively )
19:00 mircea_popescu yeah, but... if you'rte gonna beef-server, might as well get a 32 core monster.
19:00 asciilifeform i also have an old and well-oiled toolchain for it, where can e.g. throw customer payload directly into rom, if desired
19:00 mircea_popescu basically there's not much room for middle here. either rk or else monster -- even things such as shared hosting are better off on large x86 server than a bunch of mid ones
19:01 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: apu is something rather like a x64 rk.
19:01 mircea_popescu aha.
19:01 mircea_popescu kinda my point.
19:01 asciilifeform ( btw there was to be a demo unit of same in the 1st crate, but did not fit masswise )
19:01 BingoBoingo APU can also be kitted to Gutenburg mirror with appropriate drives and ECC RAM
19:02 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: iirc no ecc on either
19:02 asciilifeform ( i'd pay in gold for small box with ecc, dun exist afaik )
19:02 asciilifeform it remains a serious wtf to me : think, bolix had ecc.
19:02 asciilifeform in 1984.
19:03 BingoBoingo Ah, apu2 is ECC ram, but newer stinkier AMD "Jaguar"
19:03 asciilifeform we won't be using apu2 at piz
19:03 asciilifeform it is infested
19:03 BingoBoingo bobcat's plenty fast
19:03 asciilifeform ( not unless somebody pays to colo one, at any rate )
19:04 asciilifeform see, asciilifeform has an actual blobless bios for apu1.
19:04 BingoBoingo Ain't nobody doing blobless for "Jaguar"
19:05 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-18#1897935 << to allow for power and sufficient thermal , 4 per 1u.
19:05 a111 Logged on 2019-02-18 23:15 BingoBoingo: 6 or 8 to the 1U chasis?
19:05 BingoBoingo But Bobcat like the apu1 has is sitting on my desk
19:05 asciilifeform ( it may be possible to pack'em tighter, but currently imho reliability trumps max utilization of cubic metrage )
19:06 BingoBoingo Has only gotten faster since I first put it on the desk in 2010 or 2011

20:09 * asciilifeform will post a scan once he gets a decent exposure, this may not be today, aint a priority item
20:18 asciilifeform will also be interesting at some pt to roast a ~working~ ssd; in theory soft xray eats ssd
20:19 asciilifeform nobody seems to publish the test data on subj tho, aside from 'golden toilet' ic houses
