| * asciilifeform | always wondered what somebody gotta have in his crankcase instead of brains, to run selinux | [12:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | dod mandated yo! | [12:55] |
| asciilifeform: | you'd be amazed at what gets mandated, aha | [12:55] |
| asciilifeform: | and where. | [12:55] |
| asciilifeform: | still a bit of a puzzler, who ~voluntarily~ uses the thing. 'why do you have an incense burner in your house?' 'they're required at church' 'yes but...' | [12:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | hey. if security were an objective state, trompi wouldn't have centered the software of females around it. | [13:03] |
| asciilifeform: | in other noose, asciilifeform learned that a very recent chinese fpga board : AX516 ( http://esys.ir/images/img_Item/1158/Files/AX516_usermanual.pdf ) includes RTL8211EG , GB nic !! and cheapo. | [13:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | was that blobless ? | [13:05] |
| asciilifeform: | this might sound like a snore, but isn't : thing is wires as 'port', rather than as bus | [13:05] |
| asciilifeform: | *wired | [13:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | so what, no dma ? | [13:05] |
| asciilifeform: | in this configuration it does not in fact matter what is inside the nic (if you think about it) | [13:05] |
| asciilifeform: | aha | [13:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | o.O | [13:05] |
| asciilifeform: | not unless author of fpga circuit chooses to arrange it pc-style (and why!) | [13:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is a major development. | [13:06] |
| asciilifeform: | they sell a 1GB and 2GB dram version | [13:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | see alf, I TOLD YOU teh chinese will break it. did i tell you ? | [13:06] |
| asciilifeform: | they didn't break anything, it's still a stock xilinx chip | [13:06] |
| asciilifeform: | but major step ahead in laziness, now i dun have to draw this board | [13:06] |
| asciilifeform: | to prototype xilinx+GB | [13:07] |
| asciilifeform: | ( layout for high-speed fpga is a royal bitch ) | [13:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | the whole dispute re theory of future of computing, years ago, was you making the (otherwise very solid) case for nsa/tivo-ization, and me saying "i betcher the chinese will break it, inadvertently". | [13:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | and you were "they're dumb as rocks". which is true, they are, there's no dumber beast than the asian. nevertheless -- to break it inadvertently they don't need deliberate, directed effort. they just need to be numerous and take themselves seriously. which they are. | [13:08] |
| asciilifeform: | dun get quite so hot an' bothered, it's still made of traditional xilinx (which needs the massive toolchain) and still contains sdram ( for which no controller other than xilinx's , works ) but this board is actually useful -- in comparison with my existing aging 'ml501' ( as pictured in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=702 , http://www.loper-os.org/?p=797 ) | [13:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | no no the sky is falling!!1 | [13:10] |
| asciilifeform: | summary of noose piece is 'xilinx+GBnic is nao cheap, who wants -- can get' | [13:10] |
| asciilifeform: | and handy demo of the principle 'sanely hooked up nic is harmless regardless of how boobytrapped, use port not bus' | [13:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | goes right back to the tmsr principle of security through modularization. | [13:12] |
| asciilifeform: | a board entirely like this, but minus all of the superfluous peripherals, and with sram in place of dram, would be quite spiffy ( i've a half-drawn one here, but it sits and waits for its hour ) | [13:13] |
| asciilifeform: | ( theoretically -- a comp needs only fpga, a few nics, some memory, and a means of hooking up hdd ) | [13:14] |

| mircea_popescu: | though something tells me you'll say exactly the same re this as re the other model : http://trilema.com/2017/the-failure-mode-of-abundance/#comment-122198 ie "there's no time to consider ACTUAL meaningful models, all we have time for is nonsense. where's that happy meal ?!?!" | [14:58] |

| diana_coman: | shinohai, thanks! | [16:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | whole "position of power" bs is so much statal crap. but on the positive side, it's definitely wringing itself out of existence, as finely exemplified by teh "tangerine in chief" etc. what exact power is it ? | [16:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | i dunno why the pantsuits were so aggro re trump's twitter account. whole fucking JOB is little more than a pretext for putting "trump official" on your twitter. | [16:23] |

| trinque: | my lady friend put it to me thus, that woman can behave like a man in certain realms, but often means cutting off a tit, like the (possibly apocryphal) amazon woman archer thing. | [16:24] |
| diana_coman: | tbh I am not sure I see much to really distinguish this sort of "it makes me happy" from the "mud makes me happy" | [16:25] |

| mircea_popescu: | ro commies did exactly that sort of thing also, back in the early days. | [16:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque i suppose the whole amazon loped tit thing was commentary re "stop being so damned nurturing" and the whole lacedemonian cultural shock. | [16:27] |
| diana_coman: | trinque, perhaps I don't quite buy this cutting off a tit but I can't say I spent a lot of time on it as such | [16:28] |
| diana_coman: | mircea_popescu, mama lu' stefan cel mare? lmao | [16:28] |
| trinque: | diana_coman: girl's also part cherokee apparently they'd solve the cognitive dissonance by saying "ah, her? she's got a man's spirit!" and leave it at that | [16:28] |

| mircea_popescu: | speaking of old hardware, /me just bought a bmw 320i from 2005. | [22:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | whaack_ renting ? what do you mean ? | [22:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | ah i see. | [22:08] |
| mod6: | ah, werd. | [22:11] |
| mod6: | danielpbarron: p.bvulpes.com/pastes/FFWQL | [22:11] |
| mod6: | i should note, that if you end up setting a default run-level with wpa_supplicant to debug some stuff, ensure that you disable this. you want to remove that with `rc-update delete wpa_supplicant`. then add `rc-update add net.wlan0 default` in its place. this, at least for me, fires up the adapter and negotiates with the AP at boot time. | [22:38] |
| mod6: | now if i can just get this touch-pad to work, i'll have "computrobox" | [22:39] |
| mod6: | opera works great. | [22:39] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu collects vintage autos nao ?? | [22:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | hey, pre-electronics shitpocalypse. | [23:00] |
| pete_dushenski: | mircea_popescu: neato. manual ? | [23:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | "tiptronic". | [23:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | some sort of weird nazi manual without a clutch pedal. | [23:11] |
| pete_dushenski: | aka 'semi-automated' | [23:12] |
| pete_dushenski: | still uses torque converter but allows for driver control of gear selection | [23:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | pretty much yeah | [23:12] |
| asciilifeform: | lol i have one quite like it in same vintage jp machine | [23:12] |
| pete_dushenski: | within limits, comps will still take over if you're driving too douchey | [23:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's not terrible, though i never owned one before. | [23:13] |
| pete_dushenski: | they're defo better around town. | [23:13] |
| asciilifeform: | where is there to drive in cr.. | [23:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | i wouldn't want a purely automatic gearbox in this country mostly because of the grades they got. | [23:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform to the volcano and to the beach. | [23:14] |
| asciilifeform: | i thouht the roads were donkey grade | [23:14] |
| pete_dushenski: | ... than manual. and better than normal auto because, yes, as mp said, hills | [23:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | i don't think anyone even makes an automatic gearbox that handles 15-20% well. cuz why would it, sorta thing. | [23:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | maybe the new heavily electronic things. though... "your java applet has crashed" | [23:15] |
| pete_dushenski: | the subsequent generation of 'semi-automated' have paddles on steering wheel or column. 'like f1 car'(tm). gen1 just had clicker sub-gate on centre console shifter | [23:16] |
| mircea_popescu: | this one has the clicker im pretty sure. | [23:16] |
| pete_dushenski: | gen2 became more common around '08-10 so that'd make sense | [23:16] |
| pete_dushenski: | next gen of 'auto' is argually dual-clutch trans that pre-selects next gear and can swap cogs in blink of an eye (<200ms) | [23:17] |
| pete_dushenski: | arguably* | [23:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | possibly. | [23:18] |
| pete_dushenski: | nifty tech. mostly for performance cars though. | [23:18] |

| ben_vulpes: | learned in that day that an auto did not have to be an utter misery to drive | [23:36] |
| ben_vulpes: | lag sucked though, also had no notion of matching engine speed to the new gear for slick ride experience | [23:38] |
| ben_vulpes: | 'tis one thing to press bae back in her seat with a downshift, another altogether to rattle the whole crew around as the vehicle rattles around its hysteresis envelope as the geartrain and suspension return to steady-state | [23:40] |
| pete_dushenski: | weirdly, dct can feel ~more~ raw and ~more~ mechanical than manual if properly engineered. low speed smoothness isn't usually part of that equation though, thus the still enormous market for slushboxen with evermore speeds. 8 ? why not 9 ? let's make it 10! | [23:40] |

| ben_vulpes: | i suppose if you're only shifting when you're clear out of the power band it might not be so whiplash-inducing | [23:46] |

| pete_dushenski: | then like looking at guitar in magazine and saying 'looks too twangy sounding for me personally'. anyways | [23:48] |
