asciilifeform: i dun recall whether trinque specifically tested this, but as i understand it oughta work precisely like-so.
asciilifeform: mod6: the 1 obv change with cuntoo is that it dun need 'rotor' build process at all
mod6: I'm currently building out a Cuntoo (have had a minor issue with my kernel not booting correctly, but will work on that soon), and will use that + ave1's musl to build the keccak v tooling, and then TRB. Which will also go into the upcoming changes to the HOWTO Guide.
mod6: No rush, I appreciate it. I've got some more work ahead of me (to be outlined in tomorrow's STATE OF BITCOIN ADDRESS) before I pick a cut-over date for the website, but having Lordshipt blessing is a big step in the right direction.
asciilifeform: i'ma run the diff and errything that lines up with what i signed prev, will sign again
mod6: Yeah, the regrind is straight forward, save the part where I axed out the UTF-8 char out of the genesis.
mod6: That would be awesome, I'd love to at least get as many lords to sign off as possible. I know it's a big ask for all though. There's a lot there.
asciilifeform: ( 16b, currently on asciilifeform's desk, inescapably has some basic number theory, but this is not avoidable, and it is self-contained intro )
mod6: *nod* I've got that part sorted, just gotta allocate a bit here and there. Hardest part is just starting.
mod6: Naw, but I wanna draw out the full-adder and things such as that. I want a very, very strong foundation so when I get into the later chapters, it's all in the front of my mind so I'm not getting lost.
mod6: I've got some irons in the fire right now, but it feels good being productive on this TBF stuff.
mod6: oh f yeah, christ it was hot in there.
mod6: lol. that girl in the cage was n00d iirc!
asciilifeform: those were a snore, had clothes on!
mod6: oh yeah, forgot about the airfilter cleaning convo.
mircea_popescu: the above also still herping. while dry noodle supplies last.
asciilifeform: (possibly the only gavin still going from that period?)
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, entering 4th year, and well... all those glorious prospects the mutual cockscuking parade seemed to offer from a distance turned into so much ramen.
mircea_popescu: "I'm very proud to say that my audits currently are the primary or only review on over 1B USD of cryptoassets. I also enjoy amateur lampworking!" keks.
mircea_popescu: one of these days they're gonna figure how to mount a touchscreen on this ethereum business, and then they'll be cookin' with gas!
mircea_popescu: or if you prefer https://www.coindesk.com/sharding-already-ushering-radical-new-ethereum-designs/ << this guy.
BingoBoingo: This guy? http://trilema.com/2016/the-life-and-times-of-one-phil-daian-aspiring-nigger-apprentice-cocksucker/
mircea_popescu: anyone recall "phil daian" ? the kid that was going places ?
a111: Logged on 2019-01-25 16:55 asciilifeform: tru. who, incidentally, is the current gavin? i admit, lost track, dun follow subj actively
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in vaguerly related http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-17#1685663 slash http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-25#1889847 , there's of course http://trilema.com/2016/the-life-and-times-of-one-phil-daian-aspiring-nigger-apprentice-cocksucker/#selection-479.150-479.424
mircea_popescu: totally, that's the definition of psychopathy, NOT being fucking insane.
asciilifeform: ( for folx who didn't go to mircea_popescu's c3 -- he described a sovok-era auto where cleaning the air filter would reliably kill the engine )
a111: 18 results for "answer in the sewers", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=answer%20in%20the%20sewers
asciilifeform: !#s answer in the sewers
mircea_popescu: anyway, when trump won the first derping of the female state went along the lines of "adults", mind ye, ~adults~ "taking care of him" or somesuch nonsense. this directly maps, period ie 1880s dinner conversation had the dead women been instead present went "why did you machinegun those nice zulus ?" "what the fuck did you want me to do, teach them english, invite them over for tea, meet the missus ?" "<grin>"
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:44:15 <mircea_popescu> o look, now it ~didn't disconnect me at all anymore~. just sat there, 10 minutes+, nothing doing. because totally, "the protocol permits", or how did it go ?
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:40:54 <mircea_popescu> peripueral fever made the british empire possible more than anything else, and the reason there isn't one today are simply put all the happy tourists taking pictures of costa rican wild life.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:40:29 <mircea_popescu> in this view (which, while not the only interpretation that can be painted on the facts nevertheless very much is an interpretation that very well can be painted on the facts), the required reagent for something to happen is for somehow, accidentally or intentionally, female representation to go away.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:38:28 <mircea_popescu> to be replaced with "decolonialization" or whatever bullshit. http://trilema.com/2013/a-very-unfair-perspective/#selection-193.0-193.108 has the details.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:37:28 <mircea_popescu> once peripueral fever went away, the british empire ended.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:37:15 <mircea_popescu> and, this is the bomb : they were alone, so there could be an empire. because most females mated with powerful males died before reaching the 2nd half of maturity (and especially old age), the female view was ~not represented in society~. dick was alone, not merely personally, but politically, there was no one there to efficiently argue his position.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:36:11 <mircea_popescu> because of peripueral fever, which at the time was a 10-20% winnings dice every woman rolled every time she had a kid, it then followed that most kids at one of the boarding schools had no mothers.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:31:07 <mircea_popescu> leaving aside how period couples easily did a week of abstinence, i retorted this was not so, but rather to be true to life : most of the kids in dick's position had no mother
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:30:38 <mircea_popescu> and since i mentioned vice-versa again, some #haremleaks : hanbot asked me if i think the only reason anstey made paul a widower was so he didn't have to confront his son fucking his wife during that week.
mircea_popescu: but, in point of fact, they always end up looking just like dickie bultitude. especially to their long-suffering father, paul.
