i dunno if you realise this, but that floor metrage has to also be cleaned, maintained etc. you can count about 100sqm / 1k sqft per slavegirl, 320sqm will be dificult for just two women to keep up with.

00:22

traditional sovok 4-room large fambly hruscheba "first comfort" was iirc about 80 sqm.

00:29

BingoBoingo, nah, robomow mows 1 hectare/hour. just ask alf the theorydog.

00:29

why even mow. what, gotta play football on it ?

00:30

you'll be cited by the city for neglect

00:30

It's a Quinta, why the fuck is the nitrogen the grass ate going to get wasted

00:30

keep jungle off walls is enuff in same jurisdictions.

00:30

sometimes i think you never actually owned real estate anywhere. this is how this works : in all places where mowing costs x, the city will fine you x * q if you don't.

00:30

over here indeed fine by city etc

00:30

asciilifeform: Linked property actually "city" even if barely.

00:31

mp_en_viaje: yes and it's reason # 9000 why asciilifeform wants out

00:31

you'll still have to do SOME maintenance on your property.

00:31

to keep walls standing - yes

00:31

there's no out in the absolute sense (except of course yest helmet, i guess)

00:31

meaningful maintenance , have no prob with

00:31

<asciilifeform> why even mow. what, gotta play football on it ? << Insect control

00:32

yes, well, maintenance scales with size in all cases. and especially if meaningful.

00:32

'paint wall shade #3 of blue cuz usg commissar proclaims ' - ugh

00:33

even if "i make orchard" -- either you cut the trees, clean them and generally support them, or you end up with a mess. a hectare is easily 2-3k trees, a tree is easily 20-30 hours a year, do the math.

00:33

and yes, even in orchard, grass still has to be cut. at least 3 times a year.

00:33

and so on.

00:33

3x is approx how often i cut it here lol

00:33

Even pasture *needs* grazed.

00:34

yup. and then the cows need milking. or else cow mastitis, and dead cows, and flies.

00:34

and i suppose reactor also needs care or meltdown

00:34

quite.

00:34

And if the grazers don't get moved in a healthy rotation pasture goes desert as in all of the old world

00:35

asciilifeform presently w/out cow, and, believe or not, w/out own reactor

00:35

so then why scoff at 3500 sqft

00:35

strictly b/c price

00:35

would expect , in orcistan, a small town, for 200k

00:35

complete with serfs.

00:36

6 hectares = 60`000 square meters, ~650`000 square feet. cents to the sqft, you object to ? whai ?

00:36

was re indoor sq m

00:37

200k in my barrio gets recent 1 bedroom or problem 2 bedroom, some interesting "horizantal" properties. Never more than 75 sqmeters on list (though nothing sells for list)

00:37

asciilifeform, you can have the small town, complete with serfs, and won't cost all of 200k either. hence http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-08#1911973

00:37

Logged on 2019-05-08 17:26 mp_en_viaje: as it stands being mayor of some small town somewhere will run you less than what a toyota costs.

00:37

however, you can't have the house. that costs actual money. it's by utility, see ?

00:37

nobody wants the serfs now, like nobody wanted the blacks in 1819. like nobody wanted the gypsies in ro at the same time.

00:38

at any rate i'ma let the folx who actually have 200k, think about whether good deal, for asciilifeform sadly academic q entirely.

00:38

00:43

BingoBoingo: what's wrong with apple trees ?

00:43

t's not fucking half -- exactly in the sense buying one lottery ticket doesn't give you half of the tickets held by the guy holding WINNING lottery tickets)

00:44

asciilifeform: The cultivar in that case. "Pink Lady" doesn't sell here.

00:44

BingoBoingo, i'd have expected it's for export anyway.

00:44

or to distill rotgut

00:45

Possible. "Gala" cultivars have made it here though which means anything else is a niche.

00:45

Because the mass market is dumb

00:46

There's also Quintas with 5 hectares of eucalyptus which means defending and energy store from theft.

00:47

Because everyone in this country is camping means firewood is the local energy resource

00:48

Smog isn't as bad as it was earlier tonight, but it still smells like a coughdrop bondfire outside

00:51

eucalyptus is actually terribru firewood

00:54

It is and yet, for some awful reason in 1989 they started a program of planting forests of the stuff to have a domestic fuel reserve

00:55

I have yet to learn the word for chimneysweep in Spanish, but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen ads for any

high resin, and some of the hoghest quality resin in the world. i don't think they can be swept manually. need a drezine.

i can say it is a lotta fun.

13:04

lol, portable en_viaje garden ?

13:05

( ... or was this the 'partidul mp' hq thing..? )

13:06

asciilifeform, dood, bvt's optimizations are actually pretty sweet

13:06

asciilifeform, well, i got a house, i thas a garden.

13:06

neato

13:07

it's not big or anything, just some rose bushes

13:07

and you know... weeding. doesn't look like much, esp not to town girl, till she gets to do it.

13:07

suddenly...

13:07

mp_en_viaje: bvt's asmism is correct near as i can tell ( i have not walked with magnifying glass. ) the 1 gotcha is that the actual win from'em aint measurable until bolt'em onto ch14b+ ( where knuth's division is no longer the bulk of the cpu load )

13:08

in < 14 , it'll ( and iirc he confirmed experimentally ) be just scarcely palpable diff.

13:08

he also says so himself.

13:08

aha iirc in last ch, said, with exact figure.

13:08

asciilifeform, nah, he cuts ~70% of runtime

13:09

5.9 > ~2

13:09

from multiplication per se aha

13:10

at any rate it's great, bvt did already 60-70% of what asciilifeform thought he would have to do himself after errything else

13:10

i fully expect that the asmistic branch of ffa will be sewn out of bvt's item

13:10

very nice.

13:10

hi. the exact cut will depend on what % of ops in barret are mults

13:11

bvt: iirc 80+% by wallclock

13:12

then, perf increase should be substantial

13:12

there's no reason not to bake similar asmisms for e.g. add/sub/neg, shifts, etc. tho.

13:12

then can have 'speed demon' branch of the thing.

13:13

bvt, i expect, yes. he's convinced otherwisw fo rsome reason.

13:13

meanwhile in wtf, "Beware verbal commands against groups or larger individuals if they are ebons. Unless you look like some big beast like Tony Cox or are some easy going white negro like Big Ron who has that easy grace that telegraphs ass-kicking proclivitiesin other words if you are a normal range mana command to hoodrats in the hood can get you all the respect that Chinese Gordon got at Khartoum from the Mahdi." (lafond)

13:13

what the fuck, SIX fuckingreferences, i don't have any single one of them. wtf is a tony cox. what mahdi.

13:14

asciilifeform: depends on whether there will be a usecase for such item, but in any case shifts/adds should be simpler than comba

13:14

if you/re gonna use the high culture style, at least have the fucking decency to have read the high culture books. wtf, can't do this reference-reference bullshit on nobodies from the colonies.

13:15

mp_en_viaje: pre-barrett ffa , when rsaing, spends most of wallclock time in fz_mod , is all. which dun multiply. in 14+ , i fully expect 2-3x boost from asmism (possibly higher, with massage w/ magnifying glass for pipelineism etc )

13:15

not that he doesn't have a point, when dealing with morons gotta telegrap to the lizzardbrain. i don't speak to them either, just hands.

13:16

asciilifeform, so basically you're saying, for chapter 14 and that alone, it won't help ? but pre-14 and after 14, will ?

13:16

mno

13:16

pre-barrett -- small effect. with barrett -- substantial.

13:16

oh, you meant it's there, it just can't be measured ?

13:16

um. he already is showing major effect ?

13:17

only on mult, not on modexp

13:17

http://bvt-trace.net/2019/05/unrolled-assembly-comba/#selection-93.193-97.1

13:17

aha

13:17

right.

13:17

so errything as expected.

13:17

aite

13:18

i expect in the end , say <100msec 4096bit modexp, will be achievable on typical irons

13:20

( note that asciilifeform's 'standard tester' box, where currently, sans any asmisms, ~1.7 s for same, is 3-4x slower than 'typical irons' of recent years )

13:21

that are just about fatwah'd anyways.

13:22

imho you defo wouldn't want to ffa on a post-2013 amd, or any intels etc aha

13:22

there's still plenty of usable irons faster than asciilifeform's tho.

13:22

even mp_en_viaje's 'fx' i suspect.

13:22

what is the box ?

13:23

2393SE , 3.1ghz

13:23

512kB cache.

13:24

ah. yeah.

13:26

these won't win any speed records, but i like'em, they go years b/w downtimes no prob ( i take'em down strictly to clean fans )

13:26

ecc ram etc.

13:28

speed of ram, interestingly, has ~0 effect on ffa timing, given as the working set ~always fits in cache

13:29

in the parlance of seymor cray et al, ffa is 'cpu-bound problem'

13:29

aha.

13:29

( and really, as observed by mp_en_viaje in prev. thrd, 'bus width bound' )

13:31

this is trivially verifiable experimentally : build for 32bit ( 'MachineBitness' in http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/hypertext/ch18/iron__ads.htm ) and get ~exactly 2x slower.

13:36

this would actually be interesting for x60 machine owners as well. the register pressure would also increase on i386

13:37

bvt: with straight (no asmisms) 64bit ffa, i found ~exactly 2x slower on x60 than on the 2393

13:37

fwiw

13:38

( x60 , at least the 1 in my collection, is an early 64bit intel 'T2400' )

13:38

1 of the last, if not ~the~ last, intel chipsets w/out the 'me' boobytrap

13:39

~exactly is a great item on its own.

13:40

lol

13:40

meanwhile in "shit, i forgot this article even existed", http://trilema.com/2014/the-fallacy-machine/#selection-141.0-141.788

13:42

x60 is sadly rare nao, but the rubbish box i sent to spyked has same chipset, he can say later if confirms this benchmark.

13:42

( 'toy' lappy , approx. size of vhs tape )

13:43

btw spyked , outta curiosity, didja have to pay eurotax on that thing ? how much ?

13:43

hm. i have the same, but T2400 is 64bit in 'PAE' sense, not in register width sense.

13:44

bvt: i'ma have to boot mine up an' see , then, cuz it's defo running a 64bit errything.

13:44

please check, because all docks pointed into '32bit only' direction - perhaps it was disinfo.

13:44

asciilifeform blows dust off x60...

brb

13:46

aah there it is :

13:46

13:46

and yes running in longmode

13:46

i.e. 1 of their 1st amd64 clones

13:47

right, t2400 is 32bit, t7200 is later generation - 64bit

13:47

iirc we had a thrd about this at one pt. x60 apparently came in at least 3 variants

13:48

the 1 i have , is this.

who sold it to feed his dope habit

13:56

is it that much more stable with lenovo bios? i had it overheat with both orig. and coreboot variants, so stayed with coreboot

13:57

bvt: i had it overheat ~immediately when put under load with the 'rms coreboot', so went back to vendor's ( with above patch, or can't use civilized nic in it )

13:57

with vendor's, never once overheated, under any load

13:57

cuz it has working fan control.

13:58

it has an annoing problem of producing high-pitched noise when running with ext. input devices or wlan on, but overheat happends only after ~45 min of compiling, which i don't do any more.

13:58

iirc it is possible , with the sad coreboot, to peg fan to run at 100% forever. but then you have not a lappy but an 'air cleaner' ..

13:58

bvt: sounds like you have a dud inductor, rather than overheat

14:00

mine fwiw happily runs for week+ (never had occasion to longer) under 100% cpu, and no issues

14:01

then again i do clean these things yearly.

14:01

could be, i never got to disassemble and check the board after changing wlan card.

2019-02-19 <ave1> Btw asciilifeform, I had to switch my cheap NFS account to a more expensive one as php 5.6 is no longer supported in their new setup. I expect that sometime, at the end of this year, 5.6 will also disappear from "production" sites.

15:06

asciilifeform: rk3399 is a bit trickier in usage than rk3328 of pizarro rockchip -- big.little arch, so scheduling and power management have to come from rockchip kernel tree, not vanilla.

15:07

bvt: my 3328 boxes run off rk's branch to begin with

15:07

'vanilla' never worked afaik.

15:08

nao this ~may~ have changed some time in past yr, but i am loathe to bake new kernels when i have a working one.

15:09

( and in fact would rather leave 'repentant linus'-era kernels entirely alone, if it can be helped, and if cannot , would prefer to pilfer patches an' backport intelligently to old kernel , if it comes to this )

15:09

iirc changed, but too recently to even consider a switch anyways

15:09

as a rule asciilifeform does not 'fix if it works'

it is not clear to me if big.little ever worked acceptably with linux -- they are tuning even today

asciilifeform digs for thread, but cannot immediately find

15:11

i dun recall whether all the periphs worked

15:13

porting linux to oddball irons does sometimes feel like 'writing in the sand' -- you sweat, then the thing goes out of print and 'ocean washes away'

15:14

i have a http://archive.is/EUW9n item at home, with kernel from some arm64 distro and pizarro rockchip rootfs, but i never got time properly setup this device (plan was, run trb node)

15:14

i.e. asciilifeform ported to pogo (even had working, save for the flash disk, netbsd port) , then the iron vanished from market long before achieved anyffin useful on it

15:15

bvt: you'd have to connect a real disk to have a useful trb, but otherwise i can't see why not

15:15

btw bvt the archive link is a blang pg

15:15

*blank

15:16

i have an m.2 nvme ssd there, but the hw setup is convoluted enough to recommend bying *some other* board for these purposes

15:16

i recall this board, tho, rather costly imho for what's on it

15:17

( beyond this, cannot comment, i do not have one. and i dun much like soldered-on-wifi boards, tbh )

15:18

(chinese messed with m.2 port wiring, need to buy strange adapter board to bring it to sanity)

15:18

this btw was the dealkiller for asciilifeform re the 1 and only recent mips board on the market -- it had non-removable wifi

15:19

'ci20'. i picked one up in iirc 2015, it gathers dust

15:19

wtf is with the ubiquitous plague of non-expandable ram, incidentally

15:19

really, save 5 cents on dimm socket ?

15:19

and result is ~useless board, no canhaz trb in 1GB

15:21

it's almost like these things are carefully designed to be unusable for any serious job

15:23

well, those are devboards, i don't think anyone sells them as a serious item. but amateurs - buy

15:23

there's nuffin physically impossible about baking an arm (or mips etc) board that eats socketed ecc ram. but there seems to be a de-facto usg fatwa against'em, or sumthing

15:24

bvt: where are the 'non-dev' boards, then ?

15:24

normally 'dev board' means, you can prototype, yes. ok, done prototype, where can have production ??

15:24

Logged on 2019-05-12 19:09 asciilifeform: ( and in fact would rather leave 'repentant linus'-era kernels entirely alone, if it can be helped, and if cannot , would prefer to pilfer patches an' backport intelligently to old kernel , if it comes to this )

15:25

to my understanding you design them yourself; devboards are just for testing the cpu/chipset

15:25

bvt: aahahaha but then try an' source the chip.

15:25

it aint stocked anywhere, last i saw.

15:28

e.g. 'digikey' stocks even i386. but not that mips. (or any other mips, aside from early 2000s microcontrollers like 'pic32' )

15:29

yes, but nevertheless the boards with these chips appear every day. perhaps need to show inca earplugs of some minimum size to get them?

15:29

(talking about rk3399 here)

15:29

bvt: naturally, to inca it's all gettable.

15:30

to folx with serious chinese presence, prolly also gettable.

15:31

we had iirc entire thread about this, 'chinese problem'. parts that only ever get mounted in china, tend to not get exported 'naked' at all

15:31

which makes building prototype board quite tricky if you aint already chinese

15:32

( before mp_en_viaje asks -- it sadly aint practical to take a unit off an existing board and reuse. they're all bga . )

15:35

the moar significant problem tho is that it aint clear whether 'the game is worth the candles', for xyz chinese part. and to answer the q, takes considerable effort and expense, cuz the demo boards are ridiculously crippled.

15:36

the chinese are comically inept imho, to the point that it aint clear whether they even want to live.

15:37

( where the fuck, for instance, is their http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909567 ?? )

Logged on 2019-04-23 23:09 asciilifeform: incidentally, even a very brief look at the 1801 item confirms the troof of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-14#1896836 -- thing defo aint a 'and here is where the ameri-crystal does x' , it's a quite 'fits-in-head' object , very evidently produced from page-long spec of the orig instruction set

you don't understand technology, do you. it's like policymaking, what production.

given as the cn folx actually do ship irons, asciilifeform had notion that they differ from 'precious cuntlets of washingtonistan'. but evidently not ~so~ different .

16:41

evidently it is possible to have cargo cult with working (in a sense) planes.

23:05

asciilifeform: if you don't mind me asking -- in that thread you made a good case for leaving the reich as soon as possible, but i've also seen threads (can't find right now) where others in the channel have tried to convince you of the same, without any luck

23:07

so i've always wondered what's kept you here

billymg: it's very simple -- money. i work for living, and have never done it anywhere other than in the reich, 'meatwot' is there.

23:45

billymg: for past coupla yrs i worked for folx who actually don't care where people live. but suppose it folds...

23:45

... and i did have to go to it physically 1ce, to audition. and earlier, had to work in ninth circle of hell for 6mo+ while looked for it in the 1st place.

23:49

arguably it comes down to a stupid choice of profession. the software pseudo-industry only really exists in the reich + its tendrils, afaik.

23:52

i've lived on the wage of unskilled labourer before. and not interested in doing it again, would rather be gassed.
