(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: briefly looked at the pretrained "mobilenet ssd" and found that it's only trained on some 80 labels, one of which is "pottedplant", so i put it down and did something simpler.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: bolted a "realsense" D435I to the tilt stage and wrote a pid controller last night, intended to plug the pid into error from facedetection today but mein herr the pianist trolled me into 3kw on ergonomics instead

(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i lost my first-republic-era workstation to precisely "the minute you try `emerge --sync`..."
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: and this is why i'm putting in the time to think and ask; i'm still putting bounds on the problems and what tools get me how far along which trajectories.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: notrly a design goal; not shooting for high speed cnc here
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes hopes to avoid 'silent like partizan', but mustest exercise a skosh of discretion.

(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how much had you in your head before?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: you say 'shallow hole' in one breath and 'book and domain crossing' in another
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: there's no chip getting made sans a windows toolchain, neh? attempting else is tilting
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i dunno that i'm necessarily phobic of 'circuit design', but i am certainly wary of getting ratholed in technological duck cunts. one of the compelling ideologies from the first republic was 'tear their arms off and beat them to death with 'em'
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i'm going to focus on the effector controller for now
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: it's all just maffs, i dun understand the hesitation
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: or put another way, what advantages do they have over fpga work?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: in what situations do 'microcontrollers' win?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: determinism and fistinhead the largest wins from fpga?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: how would you start analyzing tradeoff of 'high level lang' a la ada vs i don't even know what the upside to biting off fpga toolchain is
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: heh this is ultimate 'rtos'
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: need to eat some amount of serial data defining a pair of coords and then shit those coords out on another serial port; it's nigh trivial. would like, however, to use this as an autodidactic and toolchain prototyping exercise for more devices in the same vein.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes should know better. goes to castle alfenstein for advice on running ada on small chips of computronium; leaves with conundrum of 'should ams reorient face and mind and butt towards fpga?'
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: also smoked museum pieces generating rsa keys
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: high level i need something that eats from uart and shits to same (albeit different pins) and that's ~it
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: which leads me to my second question for asciilifeform tonight; have you blessed a 'microcontroller board' for use with ada? what remains of my sense of honor from the first republic recoils at the notion of "simply compiling c or rust" for use with the common-or-garden boards on the market.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: naively, "i'm going to have to network them eventually" "dummy, focus on making something first"
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: other nodes said 'uart'
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: Vexual: well there's an effector, and i need to get it commands.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: no!
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: frankly i'm so behind the curve on this aspect of my education that i think i'm better off snipping complexity aggressively and reintroducing it selectively as i find compelling cases
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i have a somewhat more prosaic question; i gather from questioning others in my wot that i should probably not consider mixing microcontrollers and NICs if i want something working in human time. asciilifeform; have ye commentary or insight to shed?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: 'no ragrats', as we said when i was a bairn.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes regrets the question immediately
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: what is mp's "foundation mess"?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i am unpredictably woefully behind on logs
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i don't really care about garage openers
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: ty asciilifeform , and ty for the time already

(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: cat5 should be adequate.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: fiber seems overkill
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i'm not convinced that i have a use for 'heathen pipe'
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: what does the relaying, in this model? each node?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: doesn't this mean one is on the hook for a router in addition to everything else?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: on the other hand, a hostile node can take everyone else on the LAN down with eg ping floods. this is a classic "threat modeling" problem, i realize now.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i honestly don't know how to make the call on the necessity of real-time.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i'll be satisfied with hard connections.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: did you abandon the esp32?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: for the near term, tens of ms are acceptable. i'm not driving a mill body or anything.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: i'm not convinced yet (innumeracy); the combination of commodity hardware and relaxed timing is compelling
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: anyways, upstack, some subset of nodes must decrypt, but all must verify
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: but enough maudlinnery, i'm not here for the feels
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: ben_vulpes, sank; republic, shattered
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform must have forgotten that i was once a human
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: where dma is "whatever strange it must"
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: sub ms is not even a problem; i am more interested in 'can eat udp packets, verify sigs and act on contents without disappearing for a half second to service dma'
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: no, in the absence of counsel to the contrary, i think i'd prefer to rely on eg 'Pololu Maestro' for that sort of work
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: mm, no see previous 'innumeracy' comment.
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: this line of thought is what brought me to RTAI/Xenomai; that and their preexisting incorporation into buildroot. i have but one life etc
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: do the other niceties (scheduler, for one) require heap?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: forgive the innumeracy, but what is the upside of no-heapism outside of crypto?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: how are {version of the library with no OS support} and {one withe 64-bit arm support} mutually exclusive?
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56721890/setting-up-a-bare-metal-x86-ada-toolchain reasonable? or should i just write everything in C and use RTAI to make my life easier
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: buenas noches, asciilifeform. i'm considering running some Ada code in a "real-time" environment; one where i don't have to worry about the kernel fucking off to massage the NIC for arbitrary periods of time. i'm inclined to use Ada, and would like to solicit your input on going down the "bare metal ada" rabbit hole. is something in the vein of
(asciilifeform) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can you imagine? i go to stand up a pxeboot server and find nigh unto zero documentation on how to produce a pxelinux.0 anywhere; builing syslinux from source doesn't even produce something named even vaguely like what i want
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: in theory the logs are endlessly educational! in practice, learning takes practice.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: can't buy sheetrock nor coin without waylaying stagecoaches, asciilifeform.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: politely decline, but should the merry bandits catch the tax collector's carriage unawares i know where to place my buy orders.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: either tending to my manorial lands, or carving my fortune out of passing stagecoaches, depending on the day. the glittering court, most elevated discourses, high-octane cultronium etc readily distract me from the husbandry that capitalizes. also http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875979 spooked me.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nothing so exciting; simply stacking up a tiny pile of variously purple and pink 'greenbacks' to exchange for sheetrock and buttcorns.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ty asciilifeform, but it'll be short and i'll dive for some more time yet.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: place is the 3rd or 4th largest population-wise and has much more humility and concomittantly a vastly greater depth to the sell-side of pretty much everything.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: for all that the place is nominally filled with capitalists, nobody here drives like time is a rapidly exhausting resource. i seem to have landed in a town largely flavored like portland. nobody knows how to make coffee, and the region doesn't produce much by way of wine. but! where portland was the largest metropolis for a good hundred and fifty miles in any direction (and cavorted with airs to match), this

(trilema) ben_vulpes: who's the anniez character?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: typically a quiet desperate plea for more than three neurons that flash when rubbed against each other. it's rare! desirable! easier to say you want it and pray the filter works than to go out and filter.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: random return of db contents sorta related to what one asked for not so readily distinguishable from ai engagement-driving recommendations. toddlers put stuff in their mouths to figure out wtf it is, news at at eleven.

BingoBoingo: please dig through notes and break customer nrCgvFMWCqpO's october payment into one for the rockchip and another for the shell. since they have different time horizons, they need separate subscriptions. asciilifeform: next thing i do is

(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i've sketched out a set of tables that could hold all pizarro data accounting data and generate statements; the only remaining puzzlers are modeling subscriptions, prepay, and asset depreciation. would you like me to complete the design, put sql to disk and turn this into an accounting spreadsheet for pizarro?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i believe this report settles the reported discrepancies. i will have to respond to queries asynchronously, as i'm traveling for the next week.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: amend that question to include the detail that *your* submitted ledger does not contain either of those transactions.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: why does mod6's ledger show a transaction for 0.1 btc to you on august 12th and then back from you on august 17th? it doesn't affect the accounting, but i am perplexed as you both stated that your ledgers in these shared notes contained all of your pizarro transactions with noted exceptions that do not include that transaction.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: why does the net change in pizarro's cash account for august not equal the difference between the sum of incoming and outgoing cash transactions?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: in retrospect, doing any of this in pm was entirely unnecessary and counterproductive.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: works for me, ty
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: sorry for the obtuse ask last night. it's not strictly necessary, but i would like you to corroborate that i wrote those two lines to you in a private message on that date. if you grep for "once i get your signoff", you'll find what i'm talking about.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: it may be an 0.3s job to you or one of the ladies that you've trained. every time i sat down to categorize the list of incoming/outgoing into cash account vs customer equity; depreciate the hardware; walk the customer list to determine how much to debit the customer equity line; calculate the value of the btc and uyu i spent about eight hours on it in i estimate in retrospect two four hour shifts (from
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it takes quite a bit of time, and is full of manual ops, missteps on any of which foul the whole thing. my inclination is always to automate these and sweat the correctness of the automation instead of the correctness of the process again and again.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and i never used a program because, (again cannot find the log link in reasonable-response time) at one point i was working on a schema for tracking customers and what they were paying for and mircea_popescu said something along the lines of "wtf this is a simple text file and accounting problem"
