asciilifeform: shinohai: notbad.

shinohai: Will have bot rejoin soon, was making changes to modules and didn't want to spam chan with join/parts.

shinohai: I'm pretty close to having a rehash mechanism so don't have to stop it every time I reload something.

asciilifeform: shinohai: does that bot have any public knobs yet ?

shinohai: Has calc, search via ddg, google, various btc things. Basically trying to put it back like jhvh1 was.

asciilifeform: neato

asciilifeform: shinohai: can haz demo ?

asciilifeform: how do i e.g. search ?

shinohai: Sure one sec I'll have it join.

shinohai: ./ddg loperos

shinohai: hue

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: at least that search not entirely out to sea

asciilifeform: slightly surprised actually.

shinohai: has the old vwap in case needed for handy price ref:

shinohai: ./vwap

btcinfobot: The 24-Hour VWAP for BTC is $ 7567.71 USD

asciilifeform: shinohai: where does ^ come from ?

shinohai: vwap comes from blockchain.info currently until I find something else that worx

asciilifeform: aa

asciilifeform: shinohai: oblig-spam : all rk come with sbcl ( just like at piz ) , quite possibly your bot would stand up as-is...

shinohai: Will likely put it there along with www when some of my shitcoin bags sell. BTC kinda in toilet atm.

asciilifeform: shinohai: 1btc presently buys 31+ years of rk service, lol. but entirely up to you.

shinohai: Smashing deal!

asciilifeform: ftr, asciilifeform does not suffer delusions of godhood, sells machines 1y at a time strictly.

asciilifeform: but fact remains.

asciilifeform: ( 1y max, that is, at a time. month also of course avail. see manual . )

shinohai: Will you be bringing phuctor back to life there soon?

asciilifeform: shinohai: i expect to shortly after uy trip

shinohai: Neato.

asciilifeform: shinohai: i've many interesting things lined up. incl. for phuctor. such as e.g. previously-unmolested classes of weak key .

asciilifeform: ^ will need moar cpu than in 1 box, and i expect -- the double tower, tho. but some -- simply new coad.

asciilifeform: shinohai: there's quite a bit that can be done when you have cheap mains current, cooling, bandwidth .

asciilifeform: ... and not stuck with off-the-shelf irons

shinohai: Monday there was internet blackout in entire city and surrounding area here - Comcast has monopoly on pipe here.

asciilifeform: ( and esp.! if you know what yer doing ! )

snsabot: (trilema) 2017-02-18 asciilifeform: (iirc we had a thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron)

asciilifeform: shinohai: here, duopoly. 'comcast' and 'verizon'. for residential net, that is.

shinohai: I don't bother with the 4G meme, don't even presently own "smartphone"

superkuh: shinohai++

asciilifeform: shinohai: lol, wasn't even counting ~those~, imho if you can't host sumthing on it, it aint a net pipe properly speaking

asciilifeform: wb superkuh

asciilifeform: superkuh: ever tried 'tempest'-style experiments with those wideband cones of yours ? seems to me that they're exactly Right Thing for picking up e.g. cpu from across street.

shinohai: Heya superkuh, glad you stopped in chan here. Your blog is one of the more interesting things I have read in long time. (I intend to dig deeper as time permits)

superkuh: asciilifeform, not in the decoding sense but it's easy to see in the total power spectrograms when certain neighbors are home, or, well, when my GPU is active. It radiates quite a bit.

asciilifeform: superkuh: 'when home' for many folx can be seen even w/ off-the-shelf 802.11 box, aha

asciilifeform: iirc even garden-variety burglars know this these days.

asciilifeform: shinohai: i added your bot to the bot list in config, it properly colours nao.

asciilifeform: ( on my log www, that is. can't speak for other folx. )

shinohai: Oh neat asciilifeform .. thx ^.^

asciilifeform loox fwd to reading, signing, genesis of shinohai's bot

asciilifeform: shinohai: if you do it soon enuff, it'll be, afaik, the very 1st publication of a properly-working (i.e. w/out the oddball disconnect bugs) cl irc bot

shinohai: This thing has been on workbench since before exit from #t. I also played with idea of Ada irc bot, couldn't find suitable alternative to Gnat.sockets

asciilifeform: shinohai: i never wrote a proper ada shim for tcp, as i had for udp , never saw a compelling reason. possibly will make one tho, there are potential uses, such as bots.

asciilifeform: gnat.sockets is 100% rubbish.

asciilifeform: iirc the bulk of it is liquishit for handling winblowz's notion of ip stack

asciilifeform: shinohai: 'finding' ada libs is imho 100% lost cause. if you need one, must write.

asciilifeform: there's ~0 usable material published in heathendom for subj.

asciilifeform: ( admittedly this is not far different from the situation in re other langs )

asciilifeform: w/ ada esp. stands out to naked eye tho -- it is ~possible~ to write civilized ada ; while 100% of c is rubbish at-birth

asciilifeform spent quite long time, prior to writing ffa, looking for 'bignum lib' that 'oughta exist, surely, somewhere'. 100% barf .

shinohai: This was lone irc lib I was able to locate: https://github.com/erik/ada-irc

asciilifeform: lol on gnat.sockets of course

asciilifeform: with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; << heh

asciilifeform: shinohai: re adaism , i have a kilometre of ffa material in backlog also ( keccak; integration of bvt's asmisms ; cookbooks for rsa & cs key gen ; standalone util. form ; mips port ; others. )

shinohai: I am definitely looking forward to rsa keygen. (mips port also sounds quite interesting)

asciilifeform: shinohai: mips port so can run on e.g. 'ice40' .

shinohai: I acquired ice40, but have done only minimal verilog things with it. My sole experience with mips was getting gentoo to work w/ edgerouterlite

asciilifeform: there's actually nuffin 'machine-married' in ffa as it stands. but for practical use on battery-powered toys needs proper asmisms.

asciilifeform: sadly 'ice40' is an order of magnitude too small to actually unroll an iron multiplier inside.

asciilifeform: ( which would eliminate need for von neumann ffa as it was )

shinohai: While asciilifeform is here, I meant to ask - have you ever used/done anything with ATmega1284P chips?

asciilifeform: shinohai: i picked mips for e.g. 'M' strictly because simplest traditional arch w/ existing compiler support.

shinohai: (Think I was discussing this with mats a while back)

asciilifeform: shinohai: have -- looong ago

asciilifeform: not 100% sure it was ~that~ atmega, possib. earlier one

asciilifeform: shinohai: crypto (other than e.g. otp) on 8bit micros is a pain tho

asciilifeform: shinohai: i wrote (but not published, it was ~useless) a demo rsa for 6502. you wouldn't want to use.

asciilifeform: 'geological' runtimes.

shinohai: aha I played around loooong time ago with assembly on 6502 for commodore

asciilifeform: commodore ( i also grew up w/ 1 ) rly 6510 but same instr set ( had added i/o port thing, which is how you could bank ram )

asciilifeform quite fond of the 6502 instr set

asciilifeform: didja know that the orig manuf. of 6502 is still in biz ?

shinohai: O.o

asciilifeform: https://wdc65xx.com

asciilifeform bought, coupla yrs ago, samples. they work.

asciilifeform: there's a whole hidden 'world' of 'unsexy' industrial equip. that still runs on 6502, z80, similar.

asciilifeform: valuable not the least because '0 microshit or unix inside'

asciilifeform: iirc e.g. 'toyota' until recently z80 for engine control.

asciilifeform: ru weapons systems , last knew, 100% on pdp11/vax singlechip clones to this day.

asciilifeform: ( subj, for the curious. )

snsabot: (trilema) 2019-04-23 asciilifeform: here we go : 1801 schematics ; 1801 manual vol.1 1801 manual vol.2 .

shinohai: ./uptime

btcinfobot: The bot has been up for 18h 39min 14s.
