shinohai: Buenas dias BingoBoingo .... Qntra incoming in about an hour.
shinohai: Plox feel free to edit as I have not advanced beyond first cup of coffee yet.
mod6: Oh not too bad. How about you?
shinohai: Pretty good here, gonna do an offline V test in a bit once I get a few more things squared away.
mod6: Hey, cool! Let me know how it goes/have Q's.
mod6: asciilifeform: I did check if that the perf test was still running -- it was this am. I think it should finish sometime today.
mod6 is working on wrapping up all the things for V 99993
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo www.qntra.net 404s, should prolly just redirect.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nah, let me take care of that. 0.8 it was?
ben_vulpes: !!v FE62C1A6B3D703CEB2F058D90938A452801E95F7DCBC03825D763D80E3F7C9DA
deedbot: ben_vulpes paid mircea_popescu 0.8
ben_vulpes bbl, $child has announced bedtime by angrily tearing apart a couch to build a fort
shinohai: "We were TOTALLY not responsible at all, keep sending us monies."
ben_vulpes: !!v EC08ABA86FC893FD5A6FCC6FB66965D075BC3B7B00C8BBE155266D7DF4D34286
deedbot: ben_vulpes paid mod6 0.36578854
mod6: this deedbot payment system is slick asf
mod6: how do you mean 'files swapped' ?
mod6: then hypothetically the timing values for ones and zeros should simply be reversed, no?
mod6: iron is intel core-i5
mod6: sure. i may want to re-run this entire thing anyway... i kinda dumbly ran this on my laptop.
mod6: i have this mule box that i strap workloads to (core2duo box) -- should be fine as long as CPU isn't saturated, and during this test, the lappy was only like at .7 load or w/e
mod6: anyway, on the mule, i never did get adacore running properly. this lappy is the only box i got adacore '16 running on thus far.
mod6: only problem is: results aren't apples to apples.
mod6: different hardware.
mod6: so would want baseline + deltas all on same env.
mod6: aha, was thinking that's what you were thinking.
mod6: statistical noise, might be.
mircea_popescu: if you find now as opposed to whenever someone runs it, this differential is worth the difference between what and what ?
mircea_popescu: so his spending his time making less than minimum wage for it is basically his choice, you're just talking into the internet box ? is that the logic ?
mod6: yeah, no. it's fine. i was happy to build/run. to me this is all very exciting/important stuff. back when alf was doing the karatsuba and other things in the late summer/fall, this type of thing started to be contimplated for innerloop substitute.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you are talking to a man who spent his time dicking about and as a result is getting delorded.
mod6: i think we may need some good data collected to come up with a list of arch's that leak
mircea_popescu: if you copy his style of "work", you'll be doing yourself a significant disservice.
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, never the less, I'm still very much behind the utility of ffa
mircea_popescu: yes, but meanwhile you're engaged with bbisp, which costs $$$ each month.
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, sure. I have a lot of things going on tho lol.
mod6: I get your meaning though.
mircea_popescu: mod6 yes but if you don't sort them by time-productivity you'll end up in the soup.
mircea_popescu: iirc a) they were nsa boxes and b) the problem there was transportation, after you managed to get them locked out of the phf flight that ended up not happening
mircea_popescu: that doesn't say much. what exactly has been arranged, where ?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 17:48 ben_vulpes: i have one 1U slot open in my next courier run to .uy, if anyone wants their machine couriered down speak NOW or i'm going to fill it with a box of my choice
mircea_popescu: so how many of 1, 2 or 3 do i want to fit in a 1u slot ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's unclear to me these are even dc worthy in any sense.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the situation is that s.nsa naively bought some iron at your recommendation at some prior point. meanwhile you refused to deliver the "here's the mega-article comparing all hardware, which will guide future republican hardware building.
mircea_popescu: and seeing how you're the fellow who asks me how many items do i want to fit in ben_vulpes 's one item slot, i have serious doubts about your cogency anyway.
mircea_popescu: so for now, waiting to see what bbisp decides to do re hardware, and vageuly considering getting out-of-house expertise.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i have nfi. could take too much power, could whatever the fuck.
mircea_popescu: we still don't have a proper item on which to base hardware strategy.
mircea_popescu: and i wouldn't trust asciilifeform to write it now, in any case.
mircea_popescu: i guess, perhaps, the standard for time frittering. but that's well set already, so.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, dja have some sort of decision yet ben_vulpes / mod6 ? are you goint to offer box rentals ? what kind ?
mod6: mircea_popescu: that is being discussed, yes.
mircea_popescu: well, that was pretty dumb on their part, i guess, but whatever, experience is apparently difficult to process.
ben_vulpes: will be renting boxes out, this first courier run is filling up with space-rental.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ok, but which are you buying ? or what's teh strategy exactly ?
ben_vulpes: i want the next run to have one box with lots of ram and cpu to start selling vps and shared hosting in earnest, and another 2 of smaller boxes that can be rented out entire in the $3-400/mo range.
mircea_popescu: so basically is the idea that you'll just do whatever and we're missing this opportunity to attempt an' standardize iron ?
