mircea_popescu good for you. [03:05]
mircea_popescu "The biggest thing you can write in C++ is... also an operating system. Well, maybe a little bigger. Let's say three times bigger. Or even ten times. But operating system kernels are at most, what, maybe a million lines of code? So I'd argue the biggest system you can reasonably write in C++ is maybe 10 million lines, and then it starts to break down and become this emergent thing that you have no hope of controlling, [03:06]
mircea_popescu like the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. Feeeeeed meeeeeee... [03:06]
mircea_popescu If you can get it to compile by then, that is. [03:06]
mircea_popescu We have 50 million lines of C++ code. No, it's more than that now. I don't know what it is anymore. It was 50 million last Christmas, nine months ago, and was expanding at 8 million lines a quarter. The expansion rate was increasing as well. Ouch." [03:06]
mircea_popescu guy who work[ed?] at amazon. [03:06]
gabriel_laddel mircea_popescu: steve yegge? [03:06]
mircea_popescu seriously, 50mn lines of code ? there's no need to write 50 mn lines of code. for anything. [03:06]
mircea_popescu god himself uses fewer than 50mn lines of code [03:06]
mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel exactly. [03:06]
gabriel_laddel mircea_popescu: Funny little bit of history. Steve Y. goes on and on and on about how C++, java, etc. (algol derivatives) predictably create massively bloated codebases, gives lip service how Lisp solves these problems (which is does) and then goes back to... writing in ~ALGOL. (I asked a Googler who was recently on the same team as Steve what language they worked in - Java.) [03:09]
mircea_popescu https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/tour-de-babel << the origin. [03:09]
assbot tour-de-babel - steveyegge2 [03:10]
mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel why do you think that is ? [03:10]
gabriel_laddel He got old and fat, making a change was too much for him. He says that there are 'problems' with (common) lisp. http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/04/lisp-is-not-acceptable-lisp.html [03:11]

mircea_popescu o.o you got that saved ? [03:12]
gabriel_laddel yeah. [03:12]
mircea_popescu now is this kinda like c or kinda like lisp, you'd say ? [03:13]
gabriel_laddel Anything ~ALGOL derived. [03:13]
mircea_popescu no. i mean the fact that you have a string stored, and an apparatus to retrieve and use it in place. [03:13]
gabriel_laddel Lisp thing. Emacs gave it to me in.... less than 3 seconds. [03:14]
mircea_popescu through a string of perl ? [03:14]
gabriel_laddel C-b ".notes" C-r "luxor" [03:14]
gabriel_laddel (C- meaning 'control' + whatever) [03:15]
mircea_popescu ah but this is only half the story. you also saved it there, and saved the "notes" string somewhere etc. [03:15]
mircea_popescu admire the pile of crap that the whole software involved is. [03:15]
gabriel_laddel I don't understand what you're getting at. (emacs) Lisp still has to store things in files. [03:16]

mircea_popescu in other words, back to the topic : i think the people arguing that c is just the way to talk to the c-machine, aka von neumann machine have it wrong - c is just the way average people abstract. fortunately that fit into an already existing machine, but if it hadn't it'd have been forcibly fit anyway.

pete_dushenski this one by "zeke" was decidedly luzly from a few angles: [03:37]
pete_dushenski "Gavin has done quite a lot for the bitcoin project, and is one of the few people who can credibly represent it to lay people. Still, I agree with the Romanian school inasmuch as the blockchain increase seems unnecessary and potentially disastrous to me. It’s inviting a fork that will not be honored by a large portion of the current hash power, and the current wallet balance. Thus it is a Bad Idea. What about side [03:37]

asciilifeform not all that similar. cpu in fpga fabric. you can do this right now [05:51]
asciilifeform a few hundy of 'ebay' parts. [05:51]
asciilifeform i'm assuming you want a specifically x86 variant for something. [05:52]
asciilifeform because 'xilinx' sells, by the tonne, a large fpga with built in 'ppc' cores. [05:52]
asciilifeform (i own several.) [05:52]
asciilifeform (x86 is rather too complex to actually implement in any extant fpga and still leave room for something useful on top) [05:53]
decimation I guess I was thinking of "connecting the pipes" [05:53]
asciilifeform no real way of doing this at full clock [05:53]
asciilifeform other than to host them on one die [05:53]
asciilifeform hence the rarity. [05:54]
decimation today I was using the xilinix ise - it's a piece of shit [05:54]
asciilifeform aye, yes it is. [05:54]
asciilifeform and there is literally no alternative (other than 'altera' - who have a considerably fouler turd) [05:54]
decimation I've heard that the 'synplify' synthesizer is much better, but costs golden toilet cash [05:55]
asciilifeform the serious fpga market (vs. 'lattice' & friends, who largely get used for minor glue logic) is a duopoly. [05:55]
asciilifeform decimation: understand why the actual internals are secret. [05:55]
asciilifeform decimation: both 'xilinx' and 'altera' make the bulk of their profit by renting out the right to use 'cores' (as they call them) - libraries, to a normal person [05:56]
asciilifeform e.g., ethernet card [05:56]
asciilifeform dram controller [05:56]
decimation right, or softcpu with bus turd [05:56]
asciilifeform mips cpu [05:56]
asciilifeform etc. [05:56]
asciilifeform they have literally no way of enforcing their copyright other than obfuscation [05:56]

* nubbins` has quit (Quit: Quit) [05:57]
asciilifeform (each new series of 'xilinx' chip has considerably altered internals, to make past reverser's efforts less useful) [05:57]
asciilifeform basically, fpga works, but all existing high-density examples are sold by scammers of a kind - who absolutely could not abide the buyer using these items as the schoolbook promised - 'reconfigurable computer' [05:58]
decimation the problem is that one must compile a secret 'talmud' of RTL that can be written which will actually work, as opposed to being valid [05:58]
asciilifeform and an even gnarlier talmud of combinations that will result in anything like usable performance [05:59]
asciilifeform example. [05:59]

asciilifeform so everybody ends up using the vendor's. [06:00]
decimation depressingly, this results in large-scale projects being soft-cpu sequential turds, rather than asynchronous combinatorial nets where possible [06:00]

asciilifeform at any price. [06:00]
decimation yeah ask any fpga design who have attempted to write 'ddr' interface if you want to hear sadness & tears [06:00]
asciilifeform you'd have to buy 'xilinx' or 'altera' - the company - to go with the chip. and publicly gut it. [06:01]

thestringpuller thanks asciilifeform, i missed that thread. [08:18]
thestringpuller modern treasure hiding. i guess in international waters you have to worry about pirates? [08:20]
asciilifeform thestringpuller: hardest part, aside from constructing the hypothetical apparatus, is finding the site again without recourse to satellite. [08:20]
thestringpuller well i guess then treasure hunters shall find it in future if you bite the bullet before retrieval. [08:22]
thestringpuller not the first time that's happened I suppose... [08:22]
thestringpuller or perhaps it remains unclaimed for many lifetimes... [08:23]
asciilifeform thestringpuller: go fetch treasure from 5km+ down. [08:23]
asciilifeform in particular, while not knowing where. [08:23]
thestringpuller the titanic hid all but lost treasures for nearly a century... [08:23]
asciilifeform titanic is at ~4km, afaik - and, still there... [08:24]
thestringpuller this also intrigued me about dropping a message in a bottle down the marianas trench... [08:24]
thestringpuller but i don't think many devices could withstand the entire trip [08:25]
decimation thestringpuller: I think the engineering is feasible, but it certainly wouldn't be cheap. As ascii emphasized in that thread, this is for items worth >$100k 'hiding' [08:26]
* nezZario (~nez@unaffiliated/nezzario) has joined #bitcoin-assets [08:27]
thestringpuller i understand. my imagination likes to run wild. I was thinking of trusting a >$100k fortune in BTC to a paper wallet via treasure hiding, vs. the so-called "secure" hardware wallets [08:27]
asciilifeform 100k being a very conservative figure. [08:27]
* CheckDavid (uid14990@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-zdvbbbehfkbbldnt) has joined #bitcoin-assets [08:28]
thestringpuller but the problem asciilifeform has described makes for more effort of retrieval in the former scenario. [08:28]
thestringpuller if retrieval is at all possible in ones lifetime after stashing. [08:28]
asciilifeform trivial retrieval with hydrophone scheme (other than how to find location. learn stellar navigation.) [08:29]
thestringpuller does burying device on remote island (possibly uncharted) not work anymore? [08:29]
thestringpuller or is this method outdated. [08:29]
asciilifeform island is cheap to search. [08:30]
decimation stellar navigation is generally only as good as your time source [08:30]
asciilifeform decimation: dollar store quartz watch. [08:30]
* xanthyos has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [08:30]
decimation loses seconds per month, and how are you gonna set it if you can't count on 'infrastructure'? [08:30]
thestringpuller decimation: this is why it was so difficult to tell time in the sea during the old days. [08:31]
thestringpuller asciilifeform: it's funny how a quartz watch does what a very expensive device did during the 1700's. [08:31]
asciilifeform building machines today that can be counted on 50 years from now - is a solvable problem. [08:31]
thestringpuller in regards to sea travel [08:31]
asciilifeform military engineers consider it every day. [08:31]
decimation even in those old days they could reconstruct 'time' from solar observations & so forth, just took awhile to do so [08:32]
* xanthyos (xanthyos@silenceisdefeat.com) has joined #bitcoin-assets [08:32]
asciilifeform not the same machines as sold to consumers/chumps, yes [08:32]
asciilifeform but buildable. [08:32]
thestringpuller well you didn't have a "torch" of time when you left the mainland...at some point watches didn't exist. [08:32]
thestringpuller you know time in relation to your current position but not in relation to the mainland. [08:32]
decimation asciilifeform: indeed, the first step for someone considering 'off-the-grid' navigation would be to find a way to keep the 'fire' of accurate time burning without external aid [08:32]
thestringpuller longitude is hard. [08:33]
asciilifeform not actually hard if you've discovered electromagnetism (electric tuning fork clock, considerably simpler than harrison's chronometer, is quite easy to construct) [08:33]
* smidge (~smiddel@HSI-KBW-078-043-193-229.hsi4.kabel-badenwuerttemberg.de) has joined #bitcoin-assets [08:34]
thestringpuller was electomagnetism widely discovered at the point the chronometer came about? [08:34]
thestringpuller i remember there was a large bounty for the chronometer during it's inception [08:34]
asciilifeform nope. [08:34]
asciilifeform and yes, bounty. [08:35]
decimation nope, it would take a few $1,000 in ovenized crystal oscillators and/or rubidium (rubidium clocks have a finite lifetime though) [08:35]
asciilifeform (there is an - american? - film about it.) [08:35]
asciilifeform decimation: to locate what? an ant in the sea ?) [08:35]
decimation asciilifeform: hehe well certainly one would have to calculate 'how close' one must be in order to effectively trigger release [08:37]
decimation presumably the closer one can get, the more alternative retrieval methods become feasible [08:37]
thestringpuller diving 5km is pretty bad. [08:38]
asciilifeform if capsule floats a microphone near the thermocline (naturally, by a wire too thin to be lifted by) can 'pop' from 1000+km. [08:38]
asciilifeform owner - doesn't need to dive. [08:38]
asciilifeform at all. [08:38]
decimation I saw the "H1" clock at the Greenwich observatory, it was a fancy machine [08:38]
asciilifeform enemy - yes, has to dive. [08:38]
decimation owner must dive if release fails [08:38]
thestringpuller ^ [08:38]
decimation or swab the bottom somehow [08:38]
asciilifeform if release fails - he's not an owner, any more. [08:38]
asciilifeform like bitcoin. [08:38]
thestringpuller point taken. [08:38]
decimation hehe a gift to neptune [08:38]

bounce this makes no sense [11:38]
thickasthieves the default in gentoo is a thing [11:38]
mircea_popescu look, it's really simple. gentoo doesn't give a shit about bitcoin, it's yet another crackpot app as far as they're concerned. at some internal review it was determined it's much too buggy to be in main, and so it got put wherever they put retarded shit, and put someone in charge of it, in this case luke. the someone in charge is doing weird shit to it, as you'd expect of someone in charge of a buggy piece of shit not [11:40]
