trinque: it may very well have reduced the market price of building software to *below* what could sustain actual software companies
trinque: and in this, GNUshit is an ally of Microshit
asciilifeform: trinque: the market value of programmer was doomed to zero.
asciilifeform: long ago.
mircea_popescu: this much is not so.
asciilifeform: would have happened sooner yet without microshit.
mircea_popescu: observe that even whores manage to extract > 0.
mircea_popescu: it never happened for it to reach 0 ; nor ever will.
asciilifeform: software stays written.
mircea_popescu: and tits stay seen.
mod6: haha
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-05#1534602 << i am not convinced that this is possible.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-05 20:28 mod6: not that I'm saying "i'm going to write a tmsr compiler this year."; however, seeing the need for this years ago, having one written by us that we can trust, is a worthwhile project. i've taken steps in this direction by doing some very much required reading on the subject.
asciilifeform: c++ does not fit in head.
asciilifeform: do you own a copy of the standard? obtain one and see.
mircea_popescu: the problem here (as well as above, with llvm) is that without the strongarm to kill sipa / force obedience from hardware vendors etc, you will never be able to make a compiler that works
mircea_popescu: for a definition of "works" you'd accept today
asciilifeform: this also
mircea_popescu: which is how i interpreted your "freeze it ? pshaw!"
asciilifeform: but i am speaking of fundamental problem with the language.
mircea_popescu: this also.
asciilifeform: and so, the only remaining pill is ~age~
asciilifeform: gcc is old.
mod6: hm.
mircea_popescu: but in this sense, merely writing c code is the sin ; compiling it in the nazi flavour of socialism or in the soviet flavour of socialism, llvm vs gcc, is sort-of like, what flowers to leave on the raped body, roses or tulips.
trinque: very much this.
mod6: This sort of leads us back to the original question: to Ada, or not to Ada.
mircea_popescu: or maybe lisp
mircea_popescu: or maybe who the fuck knows.
asciilifeform: there is no lispm.
mircea_popescu: tgere is no adam either.
asciilifeform: all else has c in the mix.
trinque: coupla forth-a-trons about
mircea_popescu: but the worst part about all this, and the true reason i'm inert on the topic, is this : the situation is evidently unhinged, and changing much faster than the sort of process which is involved in making a software stack, compiler kernel et all.
trinque: asciilifeform: lemme restate that the "stuckness by sheer mass, age, etc" of gcc brings to mind a giant's dead body that, before it decomposes, maybe serves as shelter or warmth
asciilifeform: unhinged?
mod6: i agree mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: even if i could spend a million engineer hours a second, brought from another galaxy, i would not commit them to making me a sane compiler+kernel by friday.
mircea_popescu: BECAUSE in another three years we'll have to redo it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as in, unanchored.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: without ability to make hardware, we have exercise in polishing brass on the titanic.
mod6: ^
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the thing here, which of course isn't visible from english, because anglopress is made by niggers and retards, and so forth :
asciilifeform: i came to this conclusion years ago. the hard way.
mircea_popescu: chinese world infrastructure is in flux right now, and with humongo changes afoot
mircea_popescu: it's pretty impossible to make predictions of the scale required here.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i see 0 signs of demicroshitification in china.
asciilifeform: it is as hidebound as ru in that respect.
asciilifeform: 'What, abandon warez?!'
mircea_popescu: how would you see anything in china ?
asciilifeform: it leaks into ru sphere
asciilifeform: to limited degree.
mircea_popescu: what the ru understand, leaks. what not, not.
asciilifeform: there is also the fact that making wholly new arch , on new model of computation, is lunacy, of the precise kind that no respectable confucian would contemplate.
mircea_popescu: these are micro considerations.
asciilifeform: maybe in another 500 yrs.
mircea_popescu: the macro problems is that it's not altogether clear which side of what will end up facing where.
mod6: well, they probably don't need a new model of computation.
mod6: they just need to stab "wintel"
asciilifeform: mod6: they love wintel.
mod6: i very much doubt this is their long term strategy.
mircea_popescu: mod6 they actually have multiple discernible alt models. one we even discussed in logs, ifyou recall. alf, much in character, hated it etc.
mircea_popescu: it's just that little meaningful can be said about any of them. and im sure not a complete lsit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the license-built arm?
asciilifeform: mega-snore
mod6: ya. but alas, not a different computational model; just new hardware. non-usg shit.
trinque: loongson is there if usg.intel fails
mircea_popescu: anyway. point being the situation's windy rather than calm.
trinque: not as fast yet, but who cares?
asciilifeform: trinque: it is unobtainable. like elbrus.
asciilifeform: is elbrus 'also there' ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> anyway. point being the situation's windy rather than calm. << agreed.
asciilifeform: and both are straight cribs of western designs.
mircea_popescu: trinque the big state secret here, and the problem the chinese are spedning about five trillion over twenty years to solve is
mircea_popescu: that they want to pilot ten billion rockets in flight over their geosphere.
mircea_popescu: this is a project roughly of the style that created the us bomber command after ww2 victory.
asciilifeform: i will point out that if their solution involves c machine, that's five wasted trillion.
mircea_popescu: china can't waste.
asciilifeform: typical asian tunnel vision.
trinque: mircea_popescu: iirc you discussed this area denial strategy a year or two ago
mircea_popescu: trinque i discussed all sorts of things ; including "buy a boat" about a month before the world was "shocked" by a certain bankruptcy. not that anyone notices, to my eternal amusement.
trinque: lol
shinohai: " Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later. " <<< perhaps theymos should reconsider taking you ad revenue in order to buy functioning servers.
asciilifeform: again who the fuck needs a rustbucket that costs a dollar per metre to move??!
trinque: asciilifeform: god does not deduct points for cribbing, ftr. see: mongols
trinque: that thread too was "already had"
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's evident that the cray which the us used (ie, max centralization) doesn't work for this. arguably it didn't even work for the us, in 1950. it's vaguely clear that per-rocket chips as currently used (ie, max decentralization) also doesn't work - for obvious computational reasons.
asciilifeform: trinque: crib the goods, crib the bugs and boobietraps.
mircea_popescu: whether they find a real root in between these or not is up in the air.
asciilifeform: trinque: who cribs, has not ~understood~.
mircea_popescu: shinohai database not needed when one has "ethics".
mod6: ah, mircea_popescu, maybe i'm wrong then; in that sense of "models"
trinque: asciilifeform: I do not claim to know, but hesitate to say the major industrial powerhouse of earth lacks understanding of what it does.
mircea_popescu: it's usually a safe bet.
mircea_popescu: i can't think of one historical example where they did.
asciilifeform: trinque: c machine is physically incompatible with understood software stack.
asciilifeform: trinque: if you disagree, you are welcome to demonstrate to me how , e.g., openssl 5.2 produced the recently broken keys
asciilifeform: or show me all of the overflows in linux kernel, and mathematically demonstrate that there are no others.
mircea_popescu: or bake him a pie.
trinque invents the universe
asciilifeform: at any rate i have entire www devoted to subj.
asciilifeform: afaik the ~only~ such www
asciilifeform: and if you have not read and understood every single page on it, you are unfit to even contemplate subj.
mircea_popescu: lol simmar down alfie.
trinque: I am not easily moved by feelings.
asciilifeform: but apparently easily moved by crapple's free candy?
mircea_popescu: you know, some little girls actually enjoy the penis.
trinque: the claim that china cannot do anything involving what's currently understood as "computing" is not nearly the same one as "can create asciilifeform's personally designed diamondputer"
asciilifeform: and the might of the asian anthill ?
trinque: GNU's political philosophy is exactly communism.
trinque: since we're bouncing everywhere at once.
asciilifeform: trinque: their bureaucrats sit on winblows. just like in ru or usa. or were you thinking of 'meta-china' hidden beneath the sea somewhere..?
trinque: ahahaha so china cannot meta!
trinque: only nsa
mircea_popescu: lol ima go watch soutpark.
asciilifeform: i have nfi, trinque , but 'read and understood the complete c stack' is a proposition on the scale of 'built undersea cities and no one noticed.'
trinque: nobody said this once.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : one of their latest episodes was sheer genius. they completely deconstructed the sjw + advertising bullshit. and their conclusion ? you know what it was ? WE WILL HAVE TO DO A BETTER SJW!!!!
trinque: only "will not need usg for anything"
mircea_popescu: i fucking kid you not.
mircea_popescu: i nearly fell down
trinque will have to watch.
mod6: same
mircea_popescu: defo. must watch.
mircea_popescu: incredible example of "smarts don't help the castrated"
phf: hmm, just returned into civilization. so before leaving for my vacation i replaced the bot with trinque's reconnecting version, i haven't touched the server since, so obviously reconnecting worked. for 29th specifically i see a flooding spike of bogus http request, which presumably saturated the digitalocean connection, because ping/pongs were still going through, until only pings were being sent, until bot would timed out. then it
phf: attempted to connect for the duration of attack, which in turn timed out for the rest of the day. i'm not sure how i could've mitigated this attack, short of running bot and web on separate machines, with bot's ip hidden.
phf: i'm sorry for failing, whoever put this nailgun in my bed, congratulations. there were no similar spikes in the past, and the attack happened precisely on the day i left for vacation, which was publicly known. given the swift and strong reaction i'm not quiet sure i'm even welcome on the channel anymore, which sucks.
trinque: after it went away for a while I did a wget -R on the www as a backup, hoping the www wouldn't also disappear.
trinque: that actually ended up bringing the bot back, then was bouncing on/off, so I slowed the crawl
asciilifeform welcomes phf back
shinohai waves to phf, hopes he enjoyed vacation.
phf: trinque: i think that the timing is just overlapping, i'll have to grep for you wget's specifically, but the day is basically an endless stream of /log/2016-05-22&docid=nDn56WVkvV-86M&tbnid=wQqrCY5i08s2qM:&w=245&h=244&hl=en-US&source=sh/x/im and /log/?date=01-05-2014%27%20or%20(1,2)=(select*from(select%20name_const(CHAR(111,108,111,108,111,115,104,101,114),1),name_const(CHAR(111,108,111,108,111,115,104,101,114),1))a)%20--%20%27x%27=%27x
