asciilifeform: 'I thought that /dev/random (as opposed to /dev/urandom) was already based on entropy from physical noise, as recorded by sensors (I think including mouse, keyboard and temperature).

trinque: phf: where's that patch at btw? [11:50]
asciilifeform: buildroot, at least as seen in 'rotor', is not necessary on bsd!! there is no glibc there !! afaik static linking works normally on known bsd [11:50]
asciilifeform: buildroot as i used it here, was a pill against drepperism [11:51]
asciilifeform: so as to build static, musltronic binary. [11:51]
phf: asciilifeform: oh so it doesn't crosscompile? i though buildroot explicitly builds all own gcc and family etc [11:51]
asciilifeform: on linux. where otherwise it dun go. [11:51]
phf: trinque: i'm wondering myself :D i thought it's on btcbase, but apparently not [11:51]
asciilifeform: phf: in principle it ought to work on bsd etc. but will shit out a linux binary, unless you were to fiddle with it rather heavily. but i do not see why to do this. [11:51]
asciilifeform: is musl necessary on *bsd ?? i have nfi, but did think that bsd's libc were mostly sane [11:52]

asciilifeform: 'Amongst some people, such confusion has been elevated to a philosophical ideology. I once watched a very lost group working near to me, who had spent months trying to print out a graph. It was all very complicated for them. Eventually they decided to purchase a third party graph drawing component, which advertised that it could print out graphs. After considerable administration they obtained a binary library, which they were not th [12:27]
asciilifeform: en able to link. One day it became apparent that the component extended a base class of the Qt graphics toolkit, while their program used MFC. Foolishly, I ventured to suggest that if the base class wasn’t available, a derived class couldn’t be linked to it. One of the workers informed me that this was “my opinion”. I should have left it alone, I know. But I used to work in a useful industry. I explained that it was a simple [12:27]
asciilifeform: fact that if the base library dependency isn’t there, the component can’t link to it. He looked at me and said, “There are no facts, there are only opinions, and all opinions are equal.” ...' [12:27]
asciilifeform: ^ from phf / adlai / mircea_popescu 's link earlier [12:27]
asciilifeform: i gotta wonder, how come i never met these folx. [12:27]
asciilifeform: the 'missing library cannot be linked -- is merely OPINION' people. [12:27]
asciilifeform: do they live anywhere outside of caricature ? normally dysfunction is more subtle. [12:28]
asciilifeform: 1st line of subj article , 'For decades we have known that some people are 25 times more productive than most in software engineering jobs. ...' is correct, but the remaining article gets the cause/effect relationship backwards [12:30]
jurov: i guess they specialize to very different niches of govt ecosystem than alf [12:30]
asciilifeform: folx who WANT to do the thing they are doing -- or at least have genuine desire to hold in their hands the end result, $widget, $proggy , and not merely the week's paycheque -- give the impression of the '25x productive' [12:31]
asciilifeform: and where they are found, they are kept in comfortable conditions, or even spared the idiocy of commuting to offices etc. [12:32]
asciilifeform: elsewhere, in butugychags, folx doing things no sane person would voluntarily consider doing, are, yes, warehoused, as author describes [12:32]
asciilifeform: but giving ~them~ soundproof boxes etc. simply results on moar tetris-man-hours. [12:32]

phf: when i said "programmers stone" i meant papers published by blog's author in 97 or so, which are very vague and speculative but had some interesting ideas about programming. most references to subj in oldfag circles result in "oh yeaaah i member" reaction. the blog has not much to do with original [12:45]

Raymond is the original perpetrator of the "what is a hacker?" essay, in which you quickly begin to understand that a hacker is someone who resembles Eric Raymond. Dave Winer has recently and mercifully moved his essays off to audio, but you can still hear him snorfling cashew nuts and talking at length about wh [12:51]
asciilifeform: asciilifeform refers to this genre of writing as '10th-dimension', after infamous pseudoscientific b00k/www by same name, which consisted of highly refined 'imponade' (to borrow naggum's) , that is, writing designed to pull the reader's intellectual cock and give a sensation of 'profound insight', 'yes, NAO i UNDERSTAND FIZZZIX!' or similar. [12:54]
asciilifeform: 'it ALL falls into place!1' [12:55]
phf: well, yeah, it's cybermysticism :) follows a long tradition that well predates eric raymond [12:55]
asciilifeform: important ingredient is the lack of mathematical or any other pre-requisite that a reader might lack and thereby stumble, or provoke feeling of inferiority [12:56]
asciilifeform: reader must feel 'on the throne' merely by act of reading. [12:56]

asciilifeform: aah [13:00]
phf: but anyway, the reason why i mentioned it, and the one thing of value that i derived from progstone is the idea of stess addiction. i'm not sure about the mechanism that he proposes, but identifying and neutralizing sources of needless stress served me well for many years since i read it [13:04]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had a pretty good handle on subj, though i have misplaced the relevant piece. the one where he described two basic outcomes of the traditional western crippling of schoolchildren, and they roughly correspond to the 'mapper' and 'packer' portrayed here, and in 'bipolar lisp programmer', and other similar essays. [13:04]
asciilifeform: phf: stands to reason that if adrenergic dopes are addictive, likewise so would be ordinary adrenaline [13:05]
phf: also made me rather mistrustful of a lot of "hacker culture" elements, like too much coffee, night hacking, after hour sprints, weekend hacking, all things that i've confirmed from experience to contributing to atrocious code [13:06]
asciilifeform: the 'culture' was, as i gather, never actually ~about~ the code, but... about the coffee the shared deathmarches the dope the sensory deprivation bottles the 'scene' and other pretenses. [13:07]
asciilifeform: the code - was incidental. which is why it today is going the way of the snake's legs, or the f35's wings and engine. [13:07]
asciilifeform: hence 'gender git commits' [13:08]
asciilifeform: briefly revisiting upstack, imho 'mapper' and 'packer' as depicted in the essays are only 'types of people' in the sense that there were two types of inmate at auschwitz - folx who immediately jumped the fence and died on the wire, and ones who 'checked out' and turned 'Muselmann' [13:12]
asciilifeform: two different reactions to being killed with boredom -- daydream and gabriel_laddel around ('mapper') -- or, alternatively, -- 'mindless robot' ('packer'), typical caricature of 'cube dweller', 'dilbert'. [13:13]
asciilifeform: only the latter, notably, results in the inmate/employee being of some residual use to his owner, so 'corporate culture' is unsurprisingly built around utilization of this type, and the speedy ejection of the other one. [13:15]
asciilifeform: because how else. [13:15]
phf: i always thought that kind of classification is "people like me and people not like me", but i like your take too. [13:15]
asciilifeform: i cannot speak for other inmates, but i have lived as both of these animals. [13:15]
asciilifeform: and because of this, have difficulty picturing them as fixed 'types' from birth. [13:16]

asciilifeform: how's that plug in ? [13:17]
phf: the first part of writing happens in a mapper mode, i.e. daydreaming for lack of better word before any kind of code is actually written, second in packer i.e. actual typing. that's also when cocaine/caffeine/aderal might help [13:18]
asciilifeform: 'packing', and brute labour of whatever other kind, also can have sensation of 'inch away', read the tales of athletes in training, alpinists, pilots. [13:19]
asciilifeform: and aha, 'inca marching powders' etc. [13:19]
asciilifeform: but quite destructive to folx who are doing equivalent of ~planning~ the march [13:19]

a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 17:41 asciilifeform: i find it interesting that the authors of these (and there are many) virtually never mention even approx. ~what~ their 'super team' of 'super people' was DOING [13:41]
asciilifeform: they assume that 'everyone does same thing' [13:41]
asciilifeform: so it gets #include'd [13:41]
mircea_popescu: not even. they assume that everyone's an imbecile, and therefore will discuss what's said. so if they tell you about the money they spent you'll discuss money spent and if they tell you about his abs you'll discuss abs. [13:43]
mircea_popescu: because nobody has any shade of completeness left anywhere. [13:43]
mircea_popescu: and consequently : he simply does not want it to be a discussion about that, so he doesn't mention it. [13:43]
asciilifeform: perhaps it was a mistake to teach pigs to speak. [13:43]
mircea_popescu: he doesn't even realise that this is moo-ing for moo-ers, not discourse for people. [13:43]
asciilifeform: cows - also. [13:43]
mircea_popescu: the sad fact of the matter is that the brain is not a reasoning engine. in a very purely naturalistic, bio-logical way, this is sensible. the practice of "talk to the text, not context or subtext" has become established through moo practice [13:44]
mircea_popescu: much like the meaning of "established" itself. [13:44]
asciilifeform: no more than legs are ballet engine [13:45]
mircea_popescu: no, legs actually are ballet engine. [13:45]
mircea_popescu: brain is not reasoning engine in the sense rectum is not vagina. [13:45]
asciilifeform: it is why asciilifeform is sympathetic to the 'gabriel_laddel's dope' pov : the degree of contortion involved in serious engineering , mentally, is every bit as much a self-abuse as to take any known dope [13:46]
asciilifeform: brain - does not go along willingly. [13:46]
mircea_popescu: the recent trilema byline about mediocrity conversely states "there is no perversity other than thinking" [13:46]
trinque: asciilifeform: what is this external thing that the brain wont go along with willingly? [13:47]
asciilifeform: actually mediocrity ~does~ consist of the places to which brain goes willingly. [13:47]

trinque: I was the kid who voraciously wanted to learn, ended up tiring of starving, went wandering in the woods for food. [13:48]
trinque: it is a strange creature that resists learning, or work. [13:49]
mircea_popescu: consider the illustrative case of physics. newtonian mechanics (representation structured as representation) is valuable because a) it works in representative terms, ie, math and b) matches observable reality. but there is no objective relation between a and b, which is why science fiction can exist for instance and also why the only thing that can be said about nm is that it's ... not correct. [13:50]
mircea_popescu: same holds for nm v2.0 aka qm. [13:50]
mircea_popescu: none of this is much more than observing that you know, "in theory there's no difference between theory and practice..." ie, the represented difference between representation and reality reduces to a representation. [13:50]
trinque: I am trying to digest the perspective that one must beat himself to behave according to his own model of reality, subjectively. [13:51]
trinque: how can that be so when it implies an infinite regression of models of his world [13:52]
gabriel_laddel_p: I should have been a little more specific earlier re: why cocaine in particular, or meth (in particular) would be useful IN MY SITUATION.

"and at that moment x was enlightened" specifically says "x abused himself to the point of", but nobody wants to notice. [14:10]

mircea_popescu: so folks may recall the airconditioner pics ? in the same vein, this morning there was a truck loaded with steel pipes, and two trabajadores. one of them held a pipe up in the air vertically, with great effort, as the wind threatened to cause a serious workplace accident any moment. the other had a shovel. [15:47]
mircea_popescu: and he used that shovel. to bang on the lower end of the steep pipe, ostensibly to induce it to take a shape less offensive to his taste and good public morals. [15:48]
mircea_popescu: at which point englithment struck me : do you know that in two years here i NEVER heard an engine as quiet as the item left the factory ? [15:49]
mircea_popescu: it was long a low level puzzle this, "seriously, 2010 toyota sounds LIKE THAT ?!" [15:49]
asciilifeform: lemme guess, they take off the mufflers for the 1-3% efficiency boost ? [15:49]
mircea_popescu: but then it became crystal clear - they have these auto shops here, about 100x the floor space of bars and nightclubs altogether. and in them, men. trabajadores. [15:49]
mircea_popescu: with their fucking shovels, fucking up everything. [15:49]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform currently i suspect they unseat and reseat the engine blocks wrongly. [15:50]
mircea_popescu: ie, with different screws. with pipe collars. etcetera. INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA. [15:50]
asciilifeform: btw most engines made since mid-1990s have an electronic damper that kicks in b/w , iirc, 3rd and 4th gear, and also has to be mounted, and correctly, or ~increases~ vibration [15:50]
mircea_popescu: everything sounds like a fucking volga. [15:51]
asciilifeform: (i learned of this existing when finally found the schematics for own auto, and marvelled) [15:51]
mircea_popescu: i mean, IVECO trucks, clearly made for municipal use, clearly delivered new sometime in the past 2-3 years. as loud as a zil uphill. [15:52]
mircea_popescu: never would that item have left factory in that condition [15:52]
asciilifeform: orc maintenance. [15:53]
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform's mechanic is originally from buenos aires, and is superb [15:54]
mircea_popescu: sort-of how the long lost compass in tribal shaman's possession is covered in braids and whatnot. [15:54]
asciilifeform: according to legend, cuba is different somehow [15:55]
asciilifeform: but i have not been there. [15:55]
* jurov went to look up trabajadores, there was this example usage: Mis trabajadores roban material de oficina de la empresa. [15:58]
mircea_popescu: i would say it is very apt. [15:58]
