BingoBoingo: Is Korea really an actual united enough thing to have ever had an anti?
asciilifeform: sk is the anti.
asciilifeform: (not slovakia. south kr.)
BingoBoingo: All Korea's pretty much been other people's colony. That there's an independent Korea or korea is probably the farce.
asciilifeform: until approx. 1980, nk was the industrial power, and the south was a pisshole.
asciilifeform: it took decades of 'international komyoonity' blockading, conniving, sabotage, favourite-son dealing, to change this.

BingoBoingo: Well, North Korea has legal marijauana. Leverage that into European tourism. Follow with Pope mediated negotions with Obola. Open US trade. Appoint a patsy president. Move to Macau and read about the Color revolution in the Newspaper.
asciilifeform: ^ surrender
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: it's funny how
thestringpuller: colorado is the richest state in its block now
thestringpuller: all funded by pot heads
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure it's surrender. If anything it's a more graceful one than Idi Amin had before living out his days in a House of Saud zoo.
BingoBoingo: It's the option the Castros are taking. They just haven't left yet. Raoul is Probably hoping Fidel can get a dignified state burial before he jumps ship.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: a surrender that may or may not be accepted.
BingoBoingo: Of course. USia is far less civilized now than it was when Idi Amin held the Scottish throne.

kakobrekla: another thing that never happened

asciilifeform: and, to return to that old thread, i still think that mircea is mistaken about the current crop of miners being something other than 'structured asic'
asciilifeform: the latter isn't simply a non-reprogrammable fpga; it has the LUTs of fpga, but with 'wiring' baked into the metallization layers, rather than fpga-style switching fabric
fluffypony: kakobrekla: yeah but was Vladimir generally a scammer, or just an isolated incident?

asciilifeform: china is cranking out arm clones by the billion, and certainly not all of these roll in the royalty? how does it square with my hypothesis? answer - perfectly.
asciilifeform: just like ussr stamped out single-crystal pdp-11 clones by the millions.
asciilifeform: and for the same reason
asciilifeform: to use 'w4r3z'
asciilifeform: or, more commonly, plagiarized subroutines
asciilifeform: the confucian kingdoms breathe plagiarism like air.

asciilifeform: because that is who ultimately decides what is used in the great slave mines of usa
asciilifeform: incidentally, i bring up 'arm' to remind folks that we are quickly approaching (or perhaps past) the point of being stuck with a turd every bit as odious as x86
asciilifeform: at least intel no longer collects royalties for x86. and does not directly supply the circuit to every producer
asciilifeform: arm - does.

asciilifeform: the instruction set is 'risc' in name only

decimation: I was chatting with some cyanogen mod developers about a particular arm-based phone
asciilifeform: iirc, it was designed by a woman. i won't psychiatrize on this point, but let's see what mircea makes of it!
decimation: apparently it is common practice for the vendor to ship broken hardware and paper over defects with a special google-blessed turdware
decimation: also, certain hardware variants of phones are known to have problems with battery discharge, etc

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: afaik it isn't exactly a flying success.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: for instance, i'm unable to find it advertised for sale at anything like a reasonable price, anywhere on the planet
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: For a long time ARM wasn't either. The point is it exists at the moment mostly to build history so it might seem a credible option later.

decimation: as asciilifeform has explained in the past, this isn't in their 'dna', but who knows
decimation: perhaps they are an engine waiting for the right driver (to use mircea's analogy)
asciilifeform: i also explained that they have no economic incentive at all to do this.
decimation: the only incentive I can imagine is if the chinese gov't decides to subsidize the project
decimation: but then they wouldn't 'open source' anything
BingoBoingo: Loongson seems to be a "parachute"

asciilifeform: trololol!!!
asciilifeform: 'He retorts the all too common accusation thrown at rioters: “People wanna say we destroying our own neighborhoods. We don’t own nothing out here!”' << what does white man own in usa ?
BingoBoingo: I only link it, because apparently tonight there has been yet another shooting incident in Ferguson. No idea yet if a person has been shot.
asciilifeform: what do 'they' normally shoot there?
asciilifeform: road signs ?
BingoBoingo: Normally they just shoot, but lack the marksmanship to hit anything at all.
BingoBoingo: 'He retorts the all too common accusation thrown at rioters: “People wanna say we destroying our own neighborhoods. We don’t own nothing out here!”' << what does white man own in usa ? << Common mistake of using the general "white man", Whiteman own nothing for being white. Anglo-Saxon-Lizard hybrids though...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as i understand, the rioters have no truck with lizard hitler; they protest against an imagined comfortable white suburbanite
asciilifeform: who somehow lives off their tears
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But to them the white suburbanites have scales.
BingoBoingo: They know of comfortable white suburbanites, but infrequently see them outside of police uniforms.
BingoBoingo: Or at least they did until they moved to Ferguson.
BingoBoingo: And then the comfortable white suburbanites went to more comfortable and more suburban places. Leaving them with white trash
BingoBoingo: But, this being America no one really owns anything.
undata: the looting is just a more illiterate version of the same entitlement the white trash has
undata: everybody in america thinks they were somehow robbed of making it big like everyone else did
BingoBoingo: I dunno that it is much more illiterate. I've met plenty of dumb white folk.
undata: for sure

asciilifeform: neglected detail being, most of the participants, as i understand, aren't ideologically moved
asciilifeform: they go out, same as in usg-sponsored 'colour revolutions', because 'there's action tonight'
asciilifeform: and it's more entertaining than rotgut and tv news.
undata: asciilifeform: yep, during the recent portland "protest" I found a livestream of some hipster there; he was flirting with a girl for the 20sec I watched
BingoBoingo: But... the 3d printed gun dude says burn it all down is an ideology...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: then forest fire has ideology

BingoBoingo: Of course. Fire has metabolism, so it is a living thing. I kill about 20 fires a day when I put out my cigarettes.

Pierre_Rochard: Hi, I was starting to miss this place
BingoBoingo: Well,... You know IRC is always open... Even when MP's on a vacation that's apparently growing tits
Pierre_Rochard: I’ll have to cook up a script that logs me in and auths automatically whenever I open my laptop, there’s a pyschological barrier when I have a pile of work to do
Pierre_Rochard: that keeps me from opening it myself, but doesn’t keep me off twitter haha
BingoBoingo: Ah, that problem
BingoBoingo: Everyone has to solve it in their own way
undata: Pierre_Rochard: there's always a bouncer
undata: weechat has a pretty nice relay mechanism
BingoBoingo: Come on there isn't a single personal server need that isn't well served by emacs.
undata: BingoBoingo: oh I love emacs; still need something for when you shut the laptop though
BingoBoingo: undata: WHy are you running an emacs IRC bouncer locally on a laptop?
undata: I am not
undata: emacs is on the laptop, mail and IRC are elsewhere
BingoBoingo: Can you not run emacs elsewhere?
undata: why do that when I can get out to elsewhere via tramp?
undata: I've got a pretty dialed in emacs+stumpwm combo I'm happy with locally
undata: weechat.el speaks the weechat IRC relay protocol, and there's mu4e + offlineimap for mail
BingoBoingo: undata: Are you really listing all of these particular pieces of software you depend on.
undata: BingoBoingo: you're going to what, attack me via the locally running emacs?
BingoBoingo: No, but... you never know who's reading.
undata: sound advice but I left out plenty

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://www.computerra.ru/112660/mcst-and-micron-releases-monokub-mb-with-elbrus-2cm-cpu << i don't feel like translating, but - first ru-designed cpu, afaik, this century - hits the press.
assbot: Компьютерра: Первые российские материнские платы появятся в начале 2015 г. ... ( http://bit.ly/1BhguVq )
asciilifeform: ru-designed mb too - but with, looks like, heathen peripherals
asciilifeform: and of course entirely unobtainable in mordor
asciilifeform wasn't there, didn't make this, has no idea how much plagiarized heathen 'verilog' etc. is in that thing.
asciilifeform: in other news,
asciilifeform: https://trmm.net/EFI << for some reason nobody brought this up here
assbot: Thunderstrike - Trammell Hudson's Projects ... ( http://bit.ly/1BhgHb9 )
asciilifeform: (summary: crapple bios diddler using subverted external peripheral)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Imma guess OpenSparc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not explicitly.
BingoBoingo: Not explicitly, but... Just going off of what my gut feels reading a machine translation
BingoBoingo: Just seeing that combination of busses has me thinking OpenSparc.
BingoBoingo: I could be very wrong.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: seems like it's a perverse vliw-ized sparc.
BingoBoingo: Well, isn't that all Open SParc is?
asciilifeform: iirc opensparc is a mostly-traditional sparc.
asciilifeform: anyone who wants one - can go get (it builds for the larger among the common fpga)
asciilifeform blows dust off ancient crate
BingoBoingo: Well, crippled in ways. The seemingly easy ways to uncripple for hardcopy rather than rewritable FPGAs is to VLIW it.
asciilifeform: crippled how ?
BingoBoingo: The same way BFL FPGA miners were crippled. Adapted for winblows shit toolchain instead of whatever archane elder less smelly turdchain sun nursed internally.
BingoBoingo: We're talking a company (Sun) that took more than a decade to realize they could assemble systems on benches instead of the floor. They have to have/had a legacy non-winblows tool chain that might still be in use.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: whatcha talking about, i built it sans winblows
asciilifeform: closes xilinx turd, yes
asciilifeform: *closed
asciilifeform: but no winblows in sight
BingoBoingo: Sure, but what sphicter sculpts the Xilinx turd.
asciilifeform: but the answer to the puzzle of what sun used for logic synthesis - i haven't any idea
asciilifeform: thing is, synthesis for proper asic is nothing like fpga synthesis
asciilifeform: fundamentally different problems
BingoBoingo: Well, considering Solaris 8 did webserving for them well into the solaris 10 life cycle... Prolly Sun OS 3
asciilifeform: fpga is internally very much like the well-known 'eniac'
asciilifeform: with an sram-controlled plugboard rather than physical one
asciilifeform: but the machinery that is 'plugged' together - does not move.
asciilifeform: whereas when you lay out logic for a traditionally fabbed ic, the circuits, well, 'move'
asciilifeform: in that they get placed how you like
asciilifeform: within the constraints of the available chemistry and lithography
BingoBoingo really wants a fucking time machine
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://www.mcst.ru/doc/book_121130.pdf << because you asked. textbook, 'elbrus' system architecture.
BingoBoingo: From machine translation: Since the structure of stacks of information and communication procedures identical
BingoBoingo: lie in wait, the principle of operation of pumping consider the relation
BingoBoingo: stack procedures. Education evacuation area shown in Fig. 3.7, where
BingoBoingo: it is shown in the pie chart. Its application is based on the cyclic
BingoBoingo: cal resource allocation register file in the formation of the windows:
BingoBoingo: after using the register number 0x6f next number will be
BingoBoingo: 0x00 (borders of windows aligned to kvadroslovu, so the number of pairs
BingoBoingo: registers equals 112).

BingoBoingo: .1 amp can kill, so... yeah
thestringpuller: set electricians IMO have riskier jobs than power engineers
thestringpuller: set electricals are by definition nigga rigged cause they are temporary. always wanted to be a gaffer/set technician myself, but man.

thestringpuller: tower climbing alone puts the fear of god into me
BingoBoingo: I don't have a problem with climbing. I have a problem with the possibility of falling.
