mircea_popescu: The corrosive psychological effect of nyet on the American hegemonic psyche cannot be underestimated. If you are supposed to think and act like a hegemon, but only the thinking part still works, then the result is cognitive dissonance. If your job is to bully nations around, and the nations can no longer be bullied, then your job becomes a joke, and you turn into a mental patient. << pretty much exact.
mircea_popescu: anyway, he pretty much has it -- the "no" is deeply corrosive for the fucktarded brain. and the model exactly is, coddled mommyboi goes out of fenced area and gets assraped.

asciilifeform: ( tho what asciilifeform most direly lacks, is the ~time~, hence open to the idea of another pair of hands doing it. just, would MUCH rather it be l1 hands than some ??? folk )
asciilifeform: if i end up doing the job with own hands, it'll be with mircea_popescu's method, i dun have electron microscope or the floor space to erect one
mircea_popescu: if you say i believe. anyway, above described approach really should be the standard. if it isn't / until it is, i'd say premature to decap ivories.
asciilifeform: (so developing entire process for 1um dies, prolly not worth the candles)
asciilifeform: 'ivory' is somewhat unique case, imho, i dun expect to ever run across another 1980s item that even begins to merit this treatment.
asciilifeform: if this were a moneyed proj, i'd go straight to the electronists
asciilifeform: z80 is a much larger-featured item, so not directly applicable. 386/486 is the ticket.
asciilifeform: in a hypothetical peacetime when asciilifeform'd have free hands to do this personally, would start with a crate of less-rare contemporary 1uM die (e.g. 386) 1st
asciilifeform: hence 'they're nonrenewable, d00d, measure not 7 but 7777 times before cutting 1ce'
mircea_popescu: yeah. minus possible "oh, really, you know what ? shoulda taken them ~like this~" backflow.
asciilifeform: software is a 'can write later'. the photo gotta exist 1st.
mircea_popescu: not like it costs anything. though-- i expect the software doesn't actually exist.
mircea_popescu: by any rights there should be.
mircea_popescu: im sure there is.
asciilifeform: there's a standard microscope for this, i had one when i used fluorescent markers in meat work
mircea_popescu: (on the source, i mean).
mircea_popescu: THEN you reconstruct the ~real~ edges of a material, to get a better resolution final pic.
asciilifeform: tho yer thinking of 'comparison microscope' ( like at old-style police stations for ballistics ) rather than interferometer
mircea_popescu: no, to extend the range into heisenberg's lands.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only if there's 2 dies suspected of subtle diff
mircea_popescu: (doesn't have to be stereo or live or anything. just take multiple photos ~in multiple lights~ and then have a computer diff the results, same end product)

mircea_popescu: ty, but have some crown jewels. what am i, the inca here ? http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-10#1613027 and all that ?
asciilifeform: well it'd be mircea_popescu's gold then. but if he dun feel like it, is entirely ok.

asciilifeform: the mechanics of use is actually 'easy part' -- they take x11 pipe over tcp, and are pretty light on graphics (1bit raster)
asciilifeform: ( for n00bz -- racking an actual bolix is afaik a nonstarter -- the remaining units lack not only the requisite 24/7 reliability / component life , but also any means to cleanly wash the whore between customers, the way i do with e.g rk )

phf: asciilifeform: that's for the logs, i just thought it was a particularly goofy picture

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/jvkUK << photo of ivory-2 . appears to contain 1 rom, prolly no moar than a 32kB, going by the pin count.
asciilifeform: ( iirc they contain bringup microcoad )
asciilifeform: i also suspect that this experiment will need the contents of whatever's in those roms on the ivory3
phf: busywait, cadr particularly is full of it. and yes reliance on particular cpu timing. i suspect there's a limited amount of it, but enough to make fast emulation buggy
asciilifeform: phf: i'm hoping i dun have to wait another full year for those docs...
asciilifeform: i also suspect that there is coad that won't work without ~cycle-accurate~ copy of the cpu ( the periodic barfage of the 'official' emulator suggests this -- did they use empty loop delays in place of mutexes, or what, i do not yet know )
asciilifeform: ( there could, for instance, be instructions in the physical device that bolix never had a chance to use in os, but exist in some last-days userland proggy like ns etc )
asciilifeform: phf: tho imho ideally, we'd still get a decap of #2 after #1 is happily in a ersatz-ivory board and booting the full archaeological soft stack
phf: asciilifeform: before you agree to a decap, give me some more time to get you the docs, maybe they'll be enough to get things going. i'd hate to lose an ivory to get some pretty but useless pictures, i'd rather it fry on a breadboard in the process of directed discovery
asciilifeform: it's right about on the borderline of what can be done with that instrument
asciilifeform: and 1uM was just about the last process where optical microscopy yields anyffin
asciilifeform: ( for n00bz -- decapping, even if done perfectly, is irreversible process, we dun know how many layers even in ivory, and to take pic of n+1st layer gotta dissolve the n-th... )

trinque: wanton use of the declarative cuts both ways. this internalized "because bible, full stop" can just as easily "because on my ass is what I do, full stop".
mircea_popescu: you do understand the part where most guys in the lordship would very much LIKE to be able to move to fucking stickville and just not have to deal with the whole pile of crap.
mircea_popescu: i never heard before of some guy who CAN live independently, moving to rural shithole to not be bothered, and then having ~same to show for a year of his life as mod6. at least that dood is holding down a job and a coupla kids meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: or stop saying things that can't be done. either because meaningless, self-contradictory, unimportant, whatever.
mircea_popescu: there can be such a thing as a naive practicing catholic, you know. what one says isn't the be all end all.
mircea_popescu: i'm starting to see a pattern here. "republic is unbiblical but i wanna be in the lordship, sloth is bad but what i do is not much, etc". you know, the principal theory as to ~why~ the catholics go to hell is specifically the trade in "indulgences", which is to say, EXACTLY that procedure ?
mircea_popescu: different, i grant, from the usual "find some dependocunt to worship along with her spawn", but rather in coloring than substance.
mircea_popescu: how do you even know what "the reason is" ?
asciilifeform: the good news is that it's curable
mircea_popescu: let's try different terminology : why would you want to be one of the dozen-or-so "apostles" of this pizzeria owner by the name melchisedec, if you believe the other jesus guy, in the trattoria down the street, is the true pastafarian in town ?!
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you keep bringing it to this "involved". the discussion is not at the level of "being involved", as the lowest possible standard. the discussion is being part of the lordship, as the highest possible standard.
asciilifeform remembers old su joak. orthodox j00 kid is going to town for 1st time. asks, 'rebbe, there are many temptations in the city, what should i avoid looking at' 'waddayamean' 'well, i heard there are chix' 'what of'em?' 'well, i hear there's them strippers... good jew should not look at strippers?' 'you can look at strippers' 'there are bare cunts! really, good jew can look at cunts?!' 'yes' 'so what ~shouldn't~ a good jew look at
mircea_popescu: sorta like "well, i should diet, in principle. meanwhile, this profiterol is the only dessert that doesn't suck, so give me another" ?
mircea_popescu: so then the contention is essentially that your other religious notions are in the end irrelevant to you ?
mircea_popescu: i'm rather curious what goes on in your own mind, which is why i said i don't follow the logic. "i wanna be in the lordship though i don't think the republic makes sense". well ?!
mircea_popescu: i don't even know it's a requirement. for that matter, it's not clear how precisely the republic would even come to notice something as ridiculously trivial as whatever religious belief (unless i suppose you end up doing dumb shit "because of it", but even then, 0 difference between "religion" and "but then i got high" or w/e).
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron nevermind involved, that's not the topic. you say you want to be in the lordship, but that you disagree with the fundamental premises of the whole thing. well, how do you reconcile these ?
asciilifeform at one point tried to systematically fit in head danielpbarron's theology, but it appears to be at least as complicated as ffa; broke teeth
mircea_popescu: in fact, as the only sovereign, it is literally the superior node of god in general, and of any statement of divinity, whether it originates with some guy in rural oklahoma or rural canaan.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i'll confess trying to follow the logic of your articles fails here. do you even want to be in the lordship then ?

asciilifeform: sorta how they have statute for nailing 'insider trade' if and only if ~grunt~ absconds with 'cachebleed', but for blueblood nobody gives half a fuck, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763152
mircea_popescu: "A disclosure of information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege (or, in Scotland, to confidentiality as between client and professional legal adviser) could be maintained in legal proceedings is not a qualifying disclosure if it is made by a person to whom the information had been disclosed in the course of obtaining legal advice." << ie, your lawyer's receptionist dun count.
mircea_popescu: if leaked from usg."corp" of course. otherwise...
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : your company owns whatever information is left after any employee discloses whatever ~that employee~, in ~his own judgement~ deems ~might~ ber interesting to mother inca.
mircea_popescu: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/23/section/1 << amusingly, here's a snapshot of the uk's soviet pioneer statute.
mircea_popescu: FEMALE INTUITION, THE TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY OF ~.
mircea_popescu: "Hoang also emailed associate ops director Darren James to say her personal phone "may potentially have some kind of breach as it has been acting peculiarly," telling the tribunal under cross-examination that "it was intuition" which led her to believe this."
asciilifeform: lol was naturally speaking of ameri-restaurant, rather than where mircea_popescu gets his water glass filled with virgin tear spritz
mircea_popescu: i don't want that moron touching my food. restaurant is for subbie sluts anyway, who the fuck needs this item.
mircea_popescu: at least in clinton's day they made supernumerary lawyers, not supernumerary nothings.
mircea_popescu: as fucking if there's room for another adwords consultant in this world. someone's gonna pay for thius ?
asciilifeform: ( somehow 'badbios'-style odin's-own-gift-to-sec-researcher never seems to fall on the head of anybody with half a clue, but only ever milkmaid )
mircea_popescu: you know what nicole's moronic age peers do for "schooling to better themselves in marketplace" ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose, by the above logic, 400 years ago she'd have asked the lord of the mannor, parish priest, and passing royal messenger "plox help, my cows udders seem to be growing, wut do, wut do". helluva milk maid.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from cursory dig, seems like whole thing took place at a kind of trade school where they taught 'seekoority', i.e. how to install av on winblowz etc
asciilifeform: but somebody bothered !
asciilifeform: ( troo phakt -- burning at stake did not discourage this type of 'attention whoring tech industry' either )
mircea_popescu: im so fed up with the whole attention whore tech industry...
asciilifeform: 'An NCC Group graduate trainee who emailed 300 coworkers to ask for help with what she deemed to be "unusual" behaviour from her Kali Linux VM; contacted the firm’s incident response team to complain about a faulty laptop; and said the machine had been "deliberately sabotaged", has had her victimisation claim thrown out by an employment tribunal' etc

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathen lulz, mircea_popescu recall http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-27#1866809 saga ? apparently there's a philosophical child of it, this time chix, for extra spice, https://archive.is/TYVGF
mircea_popescu: well, he was tech for the ~only exchange worth two shits, back in the early days. then that thing got subverted into aml crap, he bounced around a while, "transition phase" or w/e you'd call it, then he did the bitbet receivership and that was ~last anyone heard.

a111: Logged on 2017-01-03 19:05 davout: still working on my take on cutting the wallet out of TRB
asciilifeform: near as i can tell, threatened to do ~sumthing or other~ with wallet trb... in 2017
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875184 << he does, and if useful i / others also certainly will.
asciilifeform: naturally they won't be present in a correct 4000ln ffaistic ecc
asciilifeform: whole point, ~unexplored~ corners, deliberately proddable, in the ~orig~ shitoshi sslism
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform myeah. though in fairness, those corner cases rarely in the ffa or ffa-lite deployed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: trb dun use any 'wwwism' from ssl, only the ecc numerics, so i expect just about any extant version will link and run. the rub is how it'd behave in unexplored corner cases, as in the der sig affair
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 17:43 BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> will also be interesting to see if trb can sit down on trinque's libressl thing, instead of the frozen ancient openssl it currently goes with << I run a bitcoind linked against libressl 2.5.5 and so far it hasn't forked
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 17:30 asciilifeform: i presently suspect that this is because gnathtml uses gcc's AST for the input data, rather than the raw proggy text
mircea_popescu: (i gotta recall to say /vulˈpɛs/ to the man's face, see what he says)
a111: 2018-04-14 <davout> should have synced by the end of next week
asciilifeform: and davout called him vulp, cuz france. names of the rose.
asciilifeform: why have promisetronic layers where there is already solid steel.
asciilifeform: we're already signing the hashes.
mircea_popescu: i suppose in the end we can't end up worse off than with hashes or something.
asciilifeform: correct vtron duncare whether $string contains .
mircea_popescu: you're putting load on the wrong things.
mircea_popescu: there's somewhere i explain the problem with small children, that they take a look at world around them, which creates a snapshot in their mind that's static, and then they fall over because they don't natively understand that just because the fulcrum's left side is up like the chair next to it is up, nevertheless, the load bearing capacity of the fulcrum is less than a percent of the chairs'.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 17:17 asciilifeform: phf: imho the correct thing to do, if you have 2 bitwise-identical patches , is to display only 1 ( i'd prefer it be the one using my naming scheme, given as it is my proj, but i also won't cry if it's the other ) -- and the sigs that match it
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875158 << this is rapidly becoming an (ill-specified) unsolvable problem. how the fuck is the program supposed to pick the word in the basket that "best goes with the rest of the novel" ? there's a fucking reason for naming conventions.
asciilifeform: i got a whole stamp album fulla these.
asciilifeform: sop rathead
mircea_popescu: check it out, the imperial process in full display. 1) introduce bugs ; 2) decade later turn them off ; 3) use md5 hashes for it all.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: correct, with the diff that it's ~1MB of headerola, took coupla months to reproduce.
asciilifeform in old salt mines built winblowz, incl. w7, device drivers, with stock gcc, worked just fine, merely had to reproduce the header liquishit
