http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-17#1903106 << i also agree that it is; i don't find myself knowledgable enough to make a decision on the republican cpu architecture, but for bootstrapping using ice40 with its limited resources a simple mips core sounded fitting.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-17 18:55 mircea_popescu: IMO it makes no sense adopting the VM, given that apparently mips.v7 will be the republican CPU architecture on ice40. << i very much not agree ; much too soon to standardize this.
bvt: asciilifeform: yes, this is a problem; for example, their x86_64 hex0-2, as little sense as this can make (in presence of intel me&etc), are done as linux binaries: currently their goal is to bootstrap linux
bvt: otoh, author did mention that most of the tools can be easily made to work on e.g. dos
bvt: nope, it's not 'did' even for linux; this work is in WIP, not even alpha stage.
bvt: it's just that if components fit in head, imo alpha/beta does not apply
bvt: well, the question is then, whether we want to do this for cuntoo -- this work will need some resources dedicated to it.
bvt: i.e. finishing stage0/mes integration, and also there is a problem of bootstrapping gnat
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i cannot speak for others, but from my pov cuntoo is a wartime t34 , and defo not something i like to picture myself using 20y from nao << Someone's probably sealing Cuntoo'd devices in cement within 5 years
BingoBoingo: A lot of questions are very very open, but cement is one of the cheaper ingredients in the seal in cement formula.
BingoBoingo: Sure, this is why concrete dust is such a hazard to have uncontained.
BingoBoingo: That's just a more dramatic mode of being a burn hazard
BingoBoingo: If they Uruguayos had humor and lightbulbs they could try as well.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cool. Once the test subject gets here I'll start working on learning Cuntoo through practice.
BingoBoingo: I'm trying to figure out a way to frame Fat Mark's walk as news.
BingoBoingo: Well, he's also locked into it with some other derps, both groups wanting to resurrect a MtGox
BingoBoingo: And I'm not seeing any motive to revive the toxic MtGox brand other than psyop value "Look at those Buttcoiners forgiving the scamzor"
BingoBoingo: And in other tales of Chorros Uruguayos: "Interrogado sobre lo ocurrido, admitió su responsabilidad, pero aseguró que el siniestro había sido accidental. En su declaración explicó que su intención era robar el combustible de la moto, y en medo de la oscuridad intentó ayudarse haciendo luz con un encendedor. Como resultado, el combustible ardió y la moto fue consumida. Además, el ladrón sufrió quemaduras en manos y pies."
BingoBoingo: Note "robar el combustible" is a common sort of venerated trabajo among Mujica voters
BingoBoingo: This neighborhood's trash is apparently good enough to keep the demographic from taking the risk with gasoline theft here.
BingoBoingo: Not usually police risk, but risk of other bums "Don't ruin a good thing retard"

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-17#1903082 << discussion in teh haremobile meanwhile excavated a 4th possible line of reasoning, "the perversity of human nature, can only do something when it's not what's supposed to be done -- then and then only is it ok." witness all the kids going to college to party (that's not what it's for, which is what makes it ok).
a111: Logged on 2019-03-17 17:01 mircea_popescu: anyway, BingoBoingo 's theory can also be constructed into a third possible explanation : VHS america for a new generation, "they're so loose there, so '''freee''', sons even fuck their mothers!!!" thinks 19yo

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do i win the prize for lengthiest trilema comment ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It appears to be the winner on Qntra as far as comments that didn't get spammed. Some of the spams stretch on and on with links to nowhere.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, doesn't "offut" look like a misspelling ?
BingoBoingo: But, that corner is/was Nordic US, I don't think it got to participate much in the America days of the colonies
BingoBoingo: Buncha sad Swedes and other Nordics building apartments in their barns and living in that arrangement until Rooseveltism disrupted them.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-15 15:10 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think 256 is perfectly defensible. should be obvious what knob to twiddle for less or more anyway, admitting either one's trying to make ffa fit into tiny embed or use it for who knows what unforeseen purpose on large machines.
mircea_popescu: this sort of thing can't be well answered without practice anyway. if it needs revisiting, it'll be revisited under the pressure of all these people using all these hundreds of sub clals.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron dood, the sort of lukewarm morons you're "contending" with...
mircea_popescu: really, doesn't teh superficial idiocy of it all grate you any ?
mircea_popescu: it's like dealing with [what i remember to be 12yo boys]. "oh, bitcoin, yeah, i remember, all i bought was a single pizza. biggest regret!!!".
mircea_popescu: prior to this, my icon of such boyish idiocy would have been this chatlog from sometime around the first iraq war, where some kid literally pretended to be teleporting himself over there for half an hour or somesuch. because you know, he's such a debonair cool dude and all, the coming together of cellphone trend and "working for cia" trend in a thick sauce of general cluelessness.
mircea_popescu: i suppose now this can take over, on the grounds that at least it's linkable. just as fucking iconic at any rate.

mircea_popescu: you recall how bitcoin had a buncha ex-lumberjacks / drunks / vagrants etc suddenly become "respectable businessmen" cca 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: romania had a bunch of ~same suddenly become "bloggers" and whatnot, "influencers" cca 2007 or so.
mircea_popescu: this particular schmuck kept a little corner kiosk sellign chewing gum & such. you've seen the manner in paraguay i imagine. then went bankrupt, and "rediscovered" himself as a public speaker.
mircea_popescu: there was a bunch of them, the lulziest characters. ex port-worker (not even fucking kidding), and then ~completely ignorant~
of history, too!
mircea_popescu: kinda the lulzy thing about "popular feeling", that it is at the same time tediously trite in the objective, and then burningly personal in the subjective.
mircea_popescu: every pagliacci feels deep down a burning urge -- HE IS INVENTING CUCKOLDRY!!!! MAKE ROOM!!!
