asciilifeform: betcha the output has ~0 entropy also.
pete_dushenski: "The researchers investigated two fossils of Graecopithecus freybergi with state-of-the-art methods and came to the conclusion that they belong to pre-humans. Their findings, published today in two papers in the journalPLOS ONE, further indicate that the split of the human lineage occurred in the Eastern Mediterranean and not - as customarily assumed - in Africa."
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i set it!!?
asciilifeform: on what ?
asciilifeform: and check your wiring
asciilifeform: ftr no FG ships without a 3day burn-in
pete_dushenski: on macppc openbsd 6,1 using stty. and maybe i will check my wiring!

jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
mod6: mornin'
shinohai: Morning mod6, mircea_popescu
mod6: asciilifeform, pete_dushenski, et. al. I noticed the slowness of reading from the USB-TTL too. i had mine set to read at 115200 baud or whatever, but still was only pretty slow. i don't have any metrics off hand.
mod6: can get some later. maybe need to change the baud setting, or even something different.
mod6: trinque & ben_vulpes : thanks for helping CluelessNoob.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 14:37 mod6: asciilifeform, pete_dushenski, et. al. I noticed the slowness of reading from the USB-TTL too. i had mine set to read at 115200 baud or whatever, but still was only pretty slow. i don't have any metrics off hand.
asciilifeform: iirc mod6 you posted a few dd outputs, it was always 7-8 as per spec.
asciilifeform: ftr , for people who refuse to read the source : FUCKGOATS emits at 115200 baud STRICTLY!!!
mod6: ah, well from my *linux* machine i was around ~7kb/s
asciilifeform: if you have your serial port set to anything else, you are getting crud !! and not entropic crud, either
mod6: or something
asciilifeform: mod6: ~7 is the rated output at room temperature
mod6: ALSO, forgot to mention, that openbsd `dd` doesn't have a 'fullblock' iflag or whatever, so that needs to be looked at a bit too
asciilifeform: mod6: i investigated , under most unixen it is safe to use 'cat'
mod6: asciilifeform: yup. just, openbsd with the config I was talking about yesterday didn't hit that. im sure it's just something on the openbsd side, ie. my configuration.
mod6: or how I'm trying to read from the serial
asciilifeform: try with 'cat'.
mod6: ok, if `cat` won't pad, or do any weird buffer hijinks, then i'll give it a shot.
asciilifeform: cat on some exotic unixen drops control chars
mod6: i was actually reading through `dd` (openbsd) impl yesterday.. -.-
asciilifeform: but ought to work in general today
mod6: ok will try later for sure.
asciilifeform: however if your system fails to set 115200 baud ( and on every box i have here, it is the default baud rate, HOWEVER you MUST turn off flow control )
asciilifeform: and hah, i think we nailed the problem pete_dushenski had
asciilifeform: and possibly mod6 , on bsd
asciilifeform: if you don't disable flow control ( in-band idiocy ) the os nukes the terminal whenever it encounters magic char
asciilifeform: ( iirc 0x03 )
asciilifeform: and hence it 'burps'
asciilifeform: and the output is unusable because now skewed
asciilifeform: ( because certain octets no longer appear )
asciilifeform: i encountered this nonsense when i built my very first prototype rng, iirc mircea_popescu even turned the resulting dialogue into a whole post on his www
asciilifeform: you gotta kill flowcontrol, folx
asciilifeform: as described on snsa www.
mod6: thanks asciilifeform
mod6: with OpenBSD, looks like I'll need to try (via http://man.openbsd.org/stty.1) '-crtscts'
mod6: to turn off flow control
mod6: or am I reading that wrong?
asciilifeform does not know, because his only openbsd box has a couplea cm of dust on it, and also lacks usb ports
mod6: ok, np. i'll dig into it later. we'll get to the bottom of it. just some weird config deal.
asciilifeform: though it ~does~ have a serial port , on the docking cradle (it's a 'toshiba libretto'), and perhaps i could dust it off
asciilifeform: ... or i could let the bsd aficionados take on this chore.
mod6: don't bother for now, just stick with whatever else you were doin'. I don't wanna get you off on a side-quest for this.
mod6: this issue seems completely unrelated to FG.
asciilifeform: FG transmits at 115200,1,noparity, and this is readily verifiable by anyone with an oscilloscope and eyes, or with linux box, or dos box. i will not be taking responsibility for every broken os on the planet.
mircea_popescu: lol ok ok/
asciilifeform: but if mod6 comes up with a recipe, i would like to include it in the manual.
asciilifeform: there may be other bsd folx , gritting teeth
asciilifeform: ty mod6 for putting in the sweat.
mod6: no prob!

asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2016-17/criminalfinances.html >> brits prepare to 're-investigate where the money came from' for all posh properties in london etc and confiscate if 'unclean'
asciilifeform: esp that of idiot 'oligarchs' from ru who thought that they could happily live to old age in the enemy's camp
asciilifeform: no word so far on what the brits will do when they discover that the 'sticker prices' for the golden toilets are a work of '2 old jews and their painting' fiction , and ~worthless on market
mircea_popescu: i have nfi who in his right mind would buy to live in london.
asciilifeform: dunno that they bought-to-live
mircea_popescu: i can't think of a worse clime.
asciilifeform: but to play the bubble
mircea_popescu: well... in that case they long ago sold.
asciilifeform: last iirc abramovich was still there.
mircea_popescu: oh, i'm sure HE's perfectly clean.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the world works.
asciilifeform: rumour has it, usg made 'offer' to various ru exiles; those who refused to put coin in the piggy, now 'have problems'.
mircea_popescu: there's rather pregnant demand for a country with a constitution specifically forbidding "provenance" verifications. put a pecunia non olet clause, win ~all the remaining capital.
mircea_popescu: curious if anyone actually raises up to the challenges of their time.
asciilifeform: theoretically, the swiss were this at one time
mircea_popescu: and they didn't do too badly with it.
asciilifeform: but i suspect there are 'physical limits' involved
asciilifeform: gigantic pile of money tears spacetime and creates modern-swiss.
mircea_popescu: i don't. i'm satisfied there's just idiocy of the "consensus seeking" nature involved, no more.
asciilifeform: expand?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with that view being that in bitcoin terms, swiss piles of money were lowest after ww2.
mircea_popescu: highest, prolly cca 1770 or such.
asciilifeform: being a piece of europe not wrecked at all by the war, was mega-boost
asciilifeform: just like it was for the swedes
asciilifeform: or usa.
mircea_popescu: didn't make that much dsifference, they were small.
mircea_popescu: a chocolate watch factory +- dun count for much.
asciilifeform: pirate coves also small
asciilifeform: but work differently, no need for own industry when you're pirate cove.
mircea_popescu: anyway, point being : the relative proportion of wealth stored there actually diminished throughout 19th and 20th centuries.
asciilifeform: as for 'pecunia non olet' countries, how about panama.
asciilifeform: how's panama doing these days.
mircea_popescu: so if it was the pile of wealth that "bent space and time", you'd have had swiss cucks cca 1810, rather than have them provide vatican guards as the respectable manly troop the us marine core tried to copy.
mircea_popescu: eh, panama's not a country.
asciilifeform: ( maybe just having gold parked , does not do much ? )
mircea_popescu: next coinbase is going to be a bitcoin bank, what are we doing here ?
asciilifeform: if contemplating 'who is actual country' based solely on where the yet-untungstenated physical au lives, possibly only cn is now 'country'.
mircea_popescu: it actually has a pretty close approximation of the "unreviewable source" principle, too.
asciilifeform: (and everybody else is simply screwing around in microshit 'excel'.)
asciilifeform: afaik in cn source is verymuch 'reviewable' once d00d falls into Official disgrace with pekin.
mircea_popescu: you don't have to take teh govt's money if you dun want to.
mircea_popescu: if you do, it'd also be wise to pay up, none of this is particularly controversial.
asciilifeform: dunno that all of the publicized 'corruption' trials have this trivial explanation, 'didn't pass the bakshish up the chain'
asciilifeform: but i've nfi.
mircea_popescu: without exception they're fraud in public funds, afaik.
asciilifeform: how many mega-magnates with 0 business with the crown, tho
asciilifeform: (if not in their l1 than l2..)
asciilifeform: even a soap seller could be portrayed as 'defrauding the crown with inferior soap' etc
mircea_popescu: all those theoretical concerns aside, chinese banks routinely handle arbitrary size deposits and their agents are amused at this white man "mony raunderin" thing
asciilifeform: q is whether they'll reinvent it when the time comes. like the swiss did, and brits etc
asciilifeform: when the external power source dries up
mircea_popescu: with this outlook it's a wonder you date.
mircea_popescu: why bother, they die anyway, no ?
asciilifeform: in point of fact there's plenty of 'normal' things asciilifeform does not do, because he does not expect to live long enough to make use of'em
asciilifeform: ( but we digress )
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "time comes" factor is traditionally thouht to deal with "population density", yet the inept west never dealt with pop density even vaguely close to what the chinese are handling ok.
mircea_popescu: perhaps a better measure is "hallucinated self-determination", ie uppity twerps pretending like they get to "make choices", something the chinese are very carefully keeping in check. this may continue indefinitely, in which case it might never even come, that time.
asciilifeform: density per se isn't interesting, but rather density vs carrying capacity. and iirc europe was pretty 'full', by this metric, in the 18th c
asciilifeform: and again in leadup to ww1
mircea_popescu: and china, in 18th c bc.
asciilifeform: fixed by exporting excess biomass the 1st time, by shredding with artillery 2nd
mircea_popescu: the problem is not really "carrying capacity" in any objective sense, but carrying capacity of pretense, as discussed in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-24#1660840
a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 16:37 mircea_popescu: gotta be teh dreamers, that's the only way the batshit insane expectations of 8 bn heros in their own stories can be "satisfied" after a fashion.
asciilifeform: cn folx are, overall, bright enough, i suspect that at some point they will wake up to the fact that they do not in fact need the euro/usa schmucks for anything
asciilifeform: not even in 'cock cage'
asciilifeform: 'dreaming' is powered by very real energy source. q is re why does the socket still supply current.
mircea_popescu: i imagine ~same reason socket still supplies current for the ~ton or so of hela in existance.
asciilifeform quite appreciated that ps0t, btw -- at one point , like many many people, handled HeLa with own hands
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform by now it's apparently in over half all other cultures.
asciilifeform: 'unpicky eater'
mircea_popescu: very hardy and hey, hygiene still mystery among the medical lab.
mircea_popescu: that's going to be a major butthurt, in the coming years, lots of stuff will have to be thrown out, and people dun really wanna.
asciilifeform: not so hard to separate by species, but that's about it
mircea_popescu: but shit can't continue, they even made a special lab to certify cultures etc.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re needing : white females have been historically the better selling slaves, in all cultures. i dun expect this will change.
asciilifeform: i think the mcamericans fixed this
asciilifeform: but who knows, maybe other end will learn to like 'heavyweights'
mircea_popescu: nah, for one thing it sheds and for the other, so breed them in captivity what.
mircea_popescu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RackRqPriHQ << for anyone looking for sensitivitymaterial, VERY DEEP FILM!!1
asciilifeform: i'm curious re the 'it sheds'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had some article where he describes the process. but what's the worst 'patient' he cured ?
asciilifeform: what does a 100kg chick look like after ? does skin hang like sad, empty dirigible ballonet ?
asciilifeform: paging BingoBoingo !
asciilifeform: perhaps he knows.
mircea_popescu: ah, no. even at mp heights, 100kg female will need extensive surgery to rehumanize.
mircea_popescu: not that it's not possible, these days, but how often will it be worth the hassle.
asciilifeform: ( on other hand there is some variation in tastes : e.g. it seems to asciilifeform that he likes gurlz with fully 2x the live mass of the ones in mircea_popescu's photos, for instance )
mircea_popescu: which photos ? i'm actually quite variant, there's all sorts.
asciilifeform: most of the memorable ones.
asciilifeform: but i have nfi what mircea_popescu keeps as 'inpatient' pets.
asciilifeform: it is possible that my entire picture is off.
mircea_popescu: be that as it may, human female will be fifty something to seventy something or thereabouts. if you like big tits and big asses you'll be at the 70s side of it. 100kgs is really excessive even for adult males.
mircea_popescu: the problem with usian chicks isn't necessarily "being the weight of three girls" (mostly cuz i don't expect you'd talk to those), but this unhealthy / inflated aspect due to forced adipose growth for toxin burial. ~that~ sheds, once toxin intake is discontinued, of course.

phf: people reflexively shift weight when lifted, self-stabilizing into the force vector
BingoBoingo: ^ Can lift Helo, not out of dependence, but vertically
BingoBoingo: Anyways, people are the hardest load to lift.
phf: (that's also why aerial work with unprepared people works, until it suddenly doesn't: people get scared, start compensating intellectually, throw the balance out)
phf: weights don't self stabilize, so weightlifting is all about proper alignment of force vector (also fighting, running, etc etc)
BingoBoingo: Locally we lost a young white girl recently due to failure to surrender will and life in order to allow lifting. Used dope one last time, dope relieved girl of mortality.
phf: it's the kind of stiffness that makes one indistinguishable from a corpse
BingoBoingo: When of the spirit, it's the sort of stiffness that makes one a corpse
asciilifeform: phf has it.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-30#1663357 << helo, unlike in the movies, is pretty hard for uninitiated folx to lift : ground effect is a bitch, gotta work the cyclic, the collective, the pedals, in sync properly

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Appologies, I intended to refer to not helicopter, but HeLa supertumor
asciilifeform: it is like to ask 'lift water'. how much.
asciilifeform: it's a single-celled thing.
BingoBoingo: Well, and the agar, and the trays...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: typically you'd use liquid culturemedia, rather than agar
asciilifeform: it goes into a flat plastic bottle
asciilifeform: ( with bent neck : you can vacuum up old 'soup' without denting the 'business end' of the bottle with the pipette )
BingoBoingo: I am not in the business of growing negro supertumors. I would probably use bleach.
asciilifeform: funnily enough there are things that will not die, in bleach .
asciilifeform: ( everyone who has cultured something -- knows this. exhausted culture soup goes into vacuum flask, which gotta be killed before you can empty into waste drum, and often this proves harder than expected )

asciilifeform: even at ye olde backwater u. of maryland, there were persistent rumours, of profs who found, with simple perltron, gigantic cribbed segments of homework, and then ordered to forget-whole-thing by the dean, because perp was a blueblood

BingoBoingo: One of those things. Go to meeting see pick up X day coin. A while later see them try again and pick up X milestone coin again. Last week discover "one last time" meant "one last time" that particular time.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Apparently
BingoBoingo: Police have opened investigation because opium deaths are now treated as murders by drug dealer. For some reason though I have a feeling Hussein Bahamas will not be taken into custody by Trenton, Illinois police for his role in growing Afghan opium imports.

asciilifeform: not to rain on the parade, but must point out: moar fine folx, incl. pretty gurlz, nuked by walmatronium than opium
trinque: lobbes: "This is a set of ideas that I???ve tossed around with friends for a while. Unless something huge changes, this is probably the only viable solution." << oh, ok.
asciilifeform: i expect to get done in by it personally, if not by anything else first, and i dun even eat it ! ( it is however in the water , air, fraudulently mixed into $maxint premium phood etc )
BingoBoingo: The thing is walmartroniuomists dun learn anything that would be useful to Republican causes should they recover. Opiumist tends to pick up wide array of skills useful to fight against various USG's if only they recover.
BingoBoingo: That and Walartronium is more Clinton's fault. Current heroin glut is all on Hussein Bahamas for turning CIA into extention of his Choom Gang.

Framedragger just wondered if one of the functions of "concents" in stephenson's anathem (which i haven't yet read) are to reduce this kind of "but i have two cats and mortgage!" compromise possibility for scientists and the like

mircea_popescu: Framedragger asciilifeform you will notice that the perceived problem is very unlikely to be a genuine problem. to use the familiar field of sexuality -- people also don't hit up on girls, and in direct proportion to how hot they are, because they perceive possible harm may come!!1

renzo: can't argue with that, how does one protect someone from something that exists only in their heda
renzo: head*
mircea_popescu: fwiw, and not so long ago, the ~same "academics" would have hid that they were born black, say, for same vague "fear of reprisals". or, for that matter, gay. what exactly changed, there's no more reprisals nao because what, let me guess, awareness has been risen ?
mircea_popescu: there's no fucking reprisals. so some stuck up brits asked some german physicist living with two women to kindly go away. ok, so ? some other people gave him a different-same job.
mircea_popescu: for all the blather, the famed "blacklisting" of communists did ~nothing, and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: but the supposed "fear" merely translates a desire, which is the desire to be not-different from the rest. which... hey, everyone's entitled to be plain, boring, lame an' as ordinary as their wife can stand.
mircea_popescu: !!up gabriel_laddel_p
deedbot: gabriel_laddel_p voiced for 30 minutes.
gabriel_laddel_p: Is anyone aware of "magic" shared libraries that must be included with a linux distro to work? When I build a MasamuneRescueCD fdisk -l does not see any disks, nor does lsblk, in spite of my including all shared libraries required by lddtree --list
gabriel_laddel_p: emacs, htop, mc, sbcl all work fine, but X11 & fdisk do not, which sort of screws me. strace works, but tracing the X process does not turn up anything useful
trinque: sounds like you didn't pack along the right kernel modules, or otherwise didn't mount dev correctly
trinque: afaik linux always mounts /dev automatically these days, so I'd suspect the former.
gabriel_laddel_p: Oddly enough, the fdisk binary from https://www.phenix.bnl.gov/~purschke/RescueCD/ works, even though I have a different kernel than it ships with (the masamune one), and different shared libs (masamune ones).
gabriel_laddel_p: I would have thought that it was compiled statically, but lddtree turns up deps
trinque: pasting an error would be a start; missing libs would be a pretty recognizable barf.
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: there is no error to paste. Nothing is missing, nothing shows up as missing when I strace it.
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: it just doesn't detect anything
gabriel_laddel_p: I will double check that all kernel modules are being included, but could have sworn I got em all
trinque: dmesg is your friend.
trinque: also inspecting /dev for the presence of your block device.
trinque: you will see after having loaded the driver for whichever block device, that sdb1 and so on were created.
trinque: in dmesg.
gabriel_laddel_p: why would I have to load a driver for a block device? and sdb1 and so on and so forth are NOT created, no seen anywhere
gabriel_laddel_p: which I suppose credits your /dev/ is not being populated correctly theory
trinque: you could certainly turn off the driver which would present your sata drive if you got too uncheck-happy configuring your kernel.
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I'm the very opposite of "uncheck happy", I use the VERY SAME kernel binary being used in
gabriel_laddel_p: "userland"
gabriel_laddel_p: it isn't minimal in any sense.
trinque: dev is mounted, yes?
trinque: done by /etc/init.d/devfs
trinque: maybe the kernel is mounting /dev in an initrd, but when leaving initrd, nobody's attaching it to the new root.
trinque: not looking at the thing in question, so don't know.
gabriel_laddel_p: I don't have it in front of me either so idk. Have not touched this project in a ~month or more. That /etc/init.d/devfs exists is news to me, and will try messing with it next
trinque: on my gentoo box it is part of the "sysinit" runlevel.
mod6: I haven't gotten openbsd to do quite what I want yet, even with the -crtscts flag set for stty.
