(trilema) gabriel_laddel: (among other things in my life that are totally fucked)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: nothing is straightforwards when you don't have a bank account
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: were I fundraising for clim, yes, it would not be via 'crowdfunding' and yes, the numbers would be in the 10ks
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: also, I'm not taking thousands in donations. jackdaniel is being paid several k to work on CLIM
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: that's going to have to wait 1-5 months then, depending on my fiscal situation
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: will do some grepping at some point, but for now - work
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I authed many times in 2015
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I have 3 closed bank accounts.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: costs me about 300 usd to go get it, so am waiting
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: it is not lost. Simply out of reach atm.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: it'll be shipped to a friend's place.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I'm homeless and that isn't really possible atm
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: spiffy. I'd be happy to pay for postage. Will try and find somewhere to ship it later today
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: does the x61 crash running linux?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: the x61 does not crash?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: "machine crashes at full cpu load in 100% of case" < nevermind then. glad I asked.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: kk
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: ty. asciilifeform: I think that the rotating screen is spiffy, and would love to stop carrying around a notepad + computer
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Gotta run. If anyone has experience with the levano x61 tablet or some other hardware you really like, do tell. I read all logs eventually.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: If I could just get the fking replication working..
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I have people waiting on me *right now* to sell them masamune machines.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ^ ding ding ding
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: exactly. which is why I write CLIM for a living
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Which, whatever, to each his own.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: And seem to be adverse to making money.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Also, you seriously underestimate the utility of paying other people to do work for you.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: can we table this discussion for the time being? I understand what it is that you're getting at, but you don't have (and nor will you have) a clear picture of exactly what it is that I'm doing.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Terry A Davis wrote a whole graphics system that doesn't communicate with X.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I will note that if someone with sufficent knowledge of x.org stumbles into my life, I'd be happy to pay them to solve the issues CLIM has with it
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: look, if the machines sell, they sell
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I'm not sure what "job" you have in mind, but suspect it is different from the one I have in mind
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: my understanding of the present situation is that the linux kernel is here to stay, as it is a result of the way that the cee machine works, and contains drivers for a bunch of useful hardware
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: was my interpretation that in 2002 people were dong a lot of client side font rendering?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: key is not handy atm
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: in the sense you're thinking about things, probably the "user space"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: it is not yet clear as I don't know enough about the kernel to know if I can do away with the whole "user space" thing.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: you can use the old, shit clim
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: you simply have a CL process that talks directly to the hardware
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: neither because those notions no longer exist?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: though tbh, I plan on paying someone else to do much of this
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: function calls and nothing more
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: phf: I intend to do away with the whole notion of "client & server" in rendering for CLIM
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: and run the various simulations that I have to run
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: but I need a stable platform from which to redesign computing from the ground up
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I have woken up and realized this?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: there is no meaningful way to interrogate the X server about its state, so when it crashes (and it does from time to time), it really gets in the way of the whole lispm experience
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: phf: that's not what I'm saying. truetype is in CL. McCLIM is 100% CL. But it /communicates/ with X, which has cario and all this other nonsense integrated with it, and it's causing problems.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: phf: sorry, what exactly is unclear about what I'm saying?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: you're going to be waiting a while in any case, so I wouldn't get to worked up about it.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: yep.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: all of the business that I do inbetween now and then is simply churn to get there
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: X has to die, this is non-negotiable
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: am installing masamune for a client (by hand) right now
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I am already paid to make money with it
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: on my dead harddrive there is a bunch of half-implemented useful things like clim-spec-in-clim, the "navigator" which is a reflective search apropos, I've taken climacs and made it usable for day-to-day work...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: The fonts look like shit without truetype and that makes it impossible for me to make money using CLIM.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: talking directly to the monitor / whatever and implementing CLIM on that.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: No. Cutting X/cario/opengl/truetype out of the picture completely.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: one thing at a time
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: don't worry about it, I'm taking care of it
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: configuration after a setxkbmap change...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: redid the website, removed all the crap backends, gas2serra fixed a threading bug that caused irritating visual artifacts, I went through the whole of the CLIM archives and pulled out all the useful info, the codebase has been totally re-ordered, truetype is now the default, bugfixes relating to not pulling in the correct X keyboard
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: have had to quash them as best I can
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: there have been discussions of re-implementing it on top of the web, ncurses etc
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: that's one perspective. another is that I'm extrodinarily lucky that they're doing anything useful on mcclim at all
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: were I in charge of fundraising, I'd not be doing it as an anon anyways but rather calling syscog, ravenspack etc and trying to get donations in the 10ks rather than pocket change, but w/e
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: also, jackdaniel is a pleb / etherhuffer (at least politically, and I really appreciate his work on mcclim)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I'm not in charge of fundraising, talk to beach re this.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: because some of us need fiat to eat
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: he is currently paying jackdaniel several thousand out of pocket to help
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: if so, have him drop into #clim and talk to beach, who is handling fundraising / distributing funds atm
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I want the wwwtron
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: do you have an intern who wants to make a couple hundred bucks here and there writing CL for McCLIM?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: phf: there is no search right now and it makes the whole development cycle hellish
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: phf: is your logging engine open source / can it be so that we can have less shit logs on #clim?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: working.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: wtf else are you going to do?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: also, you'll be pleased to note that a flash drive of the appropriate size is being shipped to me on thursday
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Message to future noobs. I spent, on several occasions, multiple days (3-5) doing nothing but reading trilema.com, logs & loper-os to catch up - there is no "hack" to get up to speed.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: but must be willing to put up with having your stuff taken from time to time / "the knockout game"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: you can walk around the hood all you want while white
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Those are not really separable.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: Can't stand orcs.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: then it wouldn't be charity. magic
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: and alf has to pay exactly nothing
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: it's mod6's garden, and not a garden, a basement
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: not even slightly
(trilema) gabriel_laddel is currently shopping around for a USB drive that will hold all the masamune sources, as the current one is too small
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: because wtf, it isn't that difficult and somehow I manage to be fed + sleep indoors shave and whatnont?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: nah, homeless atm and it is a bit of a pain to auth
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: sorry, what?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Look, I don't have your personal ledger in front of me, but wouldn't paying ZERO in rent save you a lot, even if you only do it for a year and your pet has to go live with her mother?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: $s People generally wish to be rich for all sorts of reasons and mental constructions that scarcely survive the transformative process which becoming rich entails
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: if I buy you a shed like the one in timasora, and mod6 installs it on his property, will you please just go live there and save money?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: oh I did, hence my asking
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: dija ask mod6 for a virtual tour of the property yet?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: sorry, safest city in the us is?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: sorry, you want to live in/near ganglang why exactly?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: "visit barriloche" < ?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: WoT enabled housing, block by block
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I spoke too soon re mustard gas in sa
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: "did i tell you about the one time when i took over management of a grocery store for 10 minutes ?" < do tell
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: and the guy failed to use the gun
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: the 'victim' just rode away iirc?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: (granted, she played sports etc)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: my ex-gf was/is stronger than I
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: physically I am a twink, anyone trying to rob me with a gun is a threat
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ^ anyways, if that occurs I'd like to be able to stuff a backpack full of explosives, let the guy run off with it and then detonate without being bothered by the feds
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I've been reading the reports.. hence my interest.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: the video of a motorbike robbery from reddit a year or two ago
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: remeber the BA guy on a motorbike?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I don't really want to gas anyone, but must be able to respond to threats in a reasonable manner
(trilema) gabriel_laddel would like to live in Kr, but it is an ethnostate in which non-koreans cannot own anything.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: right. hence south america
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: why not? feds.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Oh oh, my point is more along the lines of - you can't cook mustard gas, use it on the hoodrats and then make use of the large industrial zone near oakland.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I've already sold 'stuff' here in the states, and don't see how it could possibly be different in SA?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: (am assuming I'd be able to ship in parts to BA, assemble them into machines and then take a ferry and sell in MTV)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Speaking of which, why is it so difficult to get 'stuff' into BA? If I wanted to ship in a bunch of computer parts and undercut the Uruguay competition (computers reportedly cost 2x what they do in the states because ??) the issues would be what exactly?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: What I had intended to say was: I'm on the hunt for products that are difficult to create in the ussa because of the supergay laws, or the interactions between the supergay laws and the situation in the field (ie, why one cannot make automated turrets to defend one's $100/month flat in the hood == the feds).
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: $seen brendafdez
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: $s what color are your atoms
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ^ another fun thing to do in irl ba
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I for one would like to be able to buy pyrex, and not the re-branded crap either.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Not especially, but was brainstorming products to sell in SA (south america) that are a PITA to get into / create here in the USSA
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: have you ever considered becoming a glass blower?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ftr, if you have funtoo / gentoo questions, angry_vincent on #funtoo is quite well versed in the idioms.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: presentations?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: it just hands you geometry + some basic ways of abstracting it - what could possibly stink?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: you have some sort of problem with geometry?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I met the franz doods irl once. Cannot understand *why* they do what they do at all.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: nfi - it has a bunch of C, so I skipped it
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: phf: glanced at it - why?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: phf: I did - it requires more work than it is worth atm
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: X
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: gentoo with CLIM as the default graphics library, conkeror (emacs style browser) and a bunch of math goodies more or less
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Hence this whole project.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Oh yeah, I'm /very/ much on board with that.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: the light being that the buildroot people already handled this for me?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Even unpacking and then repackaging it causes this - so must be that I have two versions of cpio installed or some nonsense..
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I can unpack the thing, inspect & modify the tree, but when repacking it and writing it to the USB == kernel panic
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I looked into it previously, and it seemed that simply modifying the working initramfs I have now would be much faster - but no such luck yet.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: terrible atm - cannot generate a initial ram filesystem that works correctly :/
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: stanford is an asylum.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Still got the agents watching you?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: How is the sober life?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: lol. not quite as progressive as yale. yet.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Turns out is her bf's shirt and she does molecular bio so perhaps ascii was right...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: cute girl with a "recreational mathematics" shirt on right next to me. it's not so bad.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: No laptop, currently on a public box so can't get any work done.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: O? I have an event in an hour. Lemme catch up on logs...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: you have no idea how much of a complete disaster my life is...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: trinque: I don't know / use rsync. What should I have done?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: along with all the docs etc
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Generate a RescueCD that rebuilds masamune using all the sources on disk
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: set back about 2 weeks.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: untangled the only gnarly bit of the masamune replication and promptly cooked my computer's hard drive
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Masamune update while I'm here:
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: is the "nightlife" in montevideo the ~same as BA?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: wait what does his new thing have to do with thiel?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: harry potter and the methods of rationality?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: *"intellectual impotence is just as much fun"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: "impotence is just as much fun"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: $s slatestarcodex
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Oh, and when I say "widget" I really mean gadget.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: it just LOOKS like that. All of those widgets are just handle-repaint defmethods.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I use the CLX native backend and will be moving to framebuffer when it makes economic sense.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: We do have to deal with X...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: one step at a time. I cut out all the "backends" and got the LoC count to 100,803 lines of CL.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Thanks for your words.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: trinque: didja see your quote on the new McCLIM site?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: have you sailed across the river to montevideo yet?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Where should I / my kid attend school etc.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: The lesswrong people I've run into out the bay area all tacked on idiocies like "if someone had a really good betting run, then you would pay them to make decisions for you regarding your own life"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: trinque: a betting site?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: under the name of "prediction market"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ^ this is what I've encountered people pushing irl
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: $s prediction markets are for tards
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I enjoyed them ~2-3 years ago
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Eventually these were compiled into the book Zero to One.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ^ "Notes Essays-Peter Thiel’s CS183: Startup-Stanford, Spring 2012"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: (circa 1995 ish)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: And if so, are you familiar with the optimization techniques "optimal braindamage" or "optimal brain surgery"?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Is anyone here deep into neural nets / ml?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: They merged with paypal eventually though, so yes, close.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Anyways, I'm a bit busy atm, have not been able to get the full masamune replication working, which is irritating. but I do have customers waiting on me, which is exciting.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: sometimes not really having a job is a bit of a chore.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: lol. nice job with phuctor btw ascii. exciting times.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: They don't have to be related to molecular dynamics simulations, though that is why I'm asking...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=02-12-2014#943016 << asciilifeform: could you please name some specific algorithms that fixing the von n. bottleneck (fast shared memory) would speed up to a great degree? Specifc well known models would also suffice for my purposes...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: the original mention was of currency changers iirc
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: better move quickly then.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: So 2k in total for tickets now...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I could have sworn you had a post in which the conclusion was "bring them along".
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I have a few obligations to take care of here in the US first.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: MP has already reported that idiots in BA don't hustle on weekends. Hustle on weekends
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: the total price is like 1k
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: just hop on a cruise ship and don't get back on when they leave the port
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ;; later tell cazalla Also, why not just leave Aus? Take a boat to BA or Montevideo. Don't come back.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ;; later tell cazalla Have you tried morphine for your pain? It is possible to maintain a habit and be productive (ex: William Halsted).
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Though I'd need to see some designs first..
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: We shall see. I would like to put 8 of them in your hands. S.NSA needs a R&D project.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Very reasonably priced too.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I found 20 XC6216-2HQ240Cs
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Does anyone have experience with North Star Micro Electronics?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: nope.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: nope.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: To be clear, the part # for this is: XC6216-2HQ240C?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: it isn't like they're being used for something useful anywhere else.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: surely we can turn up eight of them.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: Isn't the whole purpose of an FPGA that I can program it in place?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: can I unmount it afterwards without breaking it?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: and what, load in a binary?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: so how do I run a program on one of these things without a socket connection?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I do not.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: "send me photos of output"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: to vendor: "if this is the real deal it should be able to run this program [include ascii file here], if it fries, I'm not buying it."
