mircea_popescu: thing could mine more bitcoin than the damned things are worth.
mircea_popescu: (here god stands for lobbes an'... spyked doing it too iirc ?)
mircea_popescu: you want industrial thoroughput for some kind of scientific megaapplication, use the crystals.
mircea_popescu: for the needs of desktop crypto this is perfectly calibrated.
mircea_popescu: yes well, just as soon as someone wants to do all-visible-celestial-bodies montecarloisims / novel protein folding etc -- can pay you to do the lyso array
diana_coman: asciilifeform: my test was with bits directly read from fg, not buffered (if it wasn't clear); also fwiw further timings and tests are still on my list - it's just that my hands are/have been rather overflowing with eulora
diana_coman: on the bright side, ffa is such a contrast to euloran client to make digesting FFA a break in itself
diana_coman: "a break" as in taking a break (from the mess)
diana_coman: it's much more sanely structured so one CAN actually understand it, you know; that's the main thing; not to mention it's ...worth getting it into one's head to start with; anyway, unless I end up writing a blogpost on "why size is really not all re code", it's probably enough to say it's saner really.
diana_coman: funnily enough (though quite usual in my xp) precisely after I complained re the left/right confusion, I had now the pleasant surprise to find out that meanwhile my brain sorted it really; I suspect it was more that initially I did not realise that there was a mismatch rather than the actual changing of convention; getting back to it was fine.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: bundled (excavation + replacement + change of quite fundamental stuff) so possibly yes.
diana_coman: just for any log readers around: this is not yet the 3d lib at all; it's JUST the planeshift client really, still.
diana_coman: btw asciilifeform ch14 and esp the 14Abis (the bounds proof for barrett's reduction) were a pleasure to read.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-07 21:06 asciilifeform: what was this ? ( a mud ? )
mircea_popescu: kinda how it's fascinating to me how all sorta things end these days.
mircea_popescu: nothing seems to ever live up in death to the pretenses it puts up while alive.
mircea_popescu: it's just... look, i guess a preoccupation with gravestones and old musty writs and whatall else is to some degree a professional deformation / professionalized mental issue. but nevertheless, consider : slashdot. fucking slashdot, yes, the people who named the site so that lamers couldn't tell it each other over the phone, calling each other from the video store (which, face it, early ,com internet was 100% videostore cle
mircea_popescu: sells in the end for 1,5mn or some shit. that site fucking owned the internet before altavista could return a search page on "google"
mircea_popescu: gigaom, this "big deal" specialist/experiencialist/entrepreneur/moasa-sa pe gheata.
mircea_popescu: just went away. arianna huffington, right, "mover and shaker", america's most politially influential whatever the fuck dumb cunt, right /
mircea_popescu: all these big deals were here at some point. at some point in my lifetime. frankly, it doesn't seem so much earlier than today's breakfast.
mircea_popescu: tons and tons of fruit flies with driveways and car payments, pretending to granite gravestones and "a normal life". THEY'RE FUCKING FLIES.
mircea_popescu: they've gotten cheeky btw, i recall the furore when blizzard dared break the tacit "no game shall cost over 19.95". by now ? 80 euros (ie, aboyut a benjie).
mircea_popescu: how the fuck are they gonna make a game worth half a 32 inch monitor is anyone's fucking guess.
mircea_popescu:
https://www.sosgame.com/ << other sduch lulz. "We are saddened to share that SOS and SOS: Classic has been permanently shut down. However you can use this website to play free Slot Games and win $25 per day by simply spending time on this website. [...] Free slots were created as a consequence of a growing need of the market to play slots..."
mircea_popescu: for the record, there is NO MARKET and absolutely no fucking need for slots games/machines/whatever. they're the contemporary equivalent of buggy whips
mircea_popescu: item existed at a certain point because from one hand technology sucked just enough to be able to make that kinda blinkenlichten box but no better ; and from the other hand because country bumpkin were just bored enough at home on the farm to find the box entertaining.
mircea_popescu: neither premises are any longer true, the slots "market" is like the disco pants / 70s hairdos market.
mircea_popescu: "oh, we're making so much money now [burning down the oilfields]". lasted for what, ten-fifteen years, now it's fucking dead.
mircea_popescu: this is not so. gambling in the old style, along with prostitution and not listening to your parents were traditionally important pillars of republic.
mircea_popescu: well, "fighting corruption", right ? uppity dweebs, went into poker room to dump their edgecase links.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : apparently cca 2016 steam had a "run windows titles under linux" thing.
