| mircea_popescu: | here's the thing with this reading business : most things are read on the second pass. | [02:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | as i sit here now, there's things around me i've never read. serial numbers on smoke detectors, handling and caring labels on rugs, brand names on plaster and wall insulation facing inside, towards the wall. i am not about to tear the place apart to read all possible strings around me. i might, ~if need be~, of course. but not before. | [02:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is exactly cosubstantial with the http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-22-jun-2019#2540896 inquiry : "reading everything aforehand" as a strategy is just as dysfunctional as any other idealism aka premature optimization. there's a fucking reason republican doctrine is "do it by hand first, automate later, and those parts that actually need it and benefit from it, rather than randomly and abstractly like the pantsuit do". | [02:47] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-22 21:28 trinque: or is this "in six years time we'll have systems that work" | [02:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | because the republic's a practice, not a "narrative" aka daydream. fundamentally, what distinguishes us from the github hipster / foss moron / entire collected pile of avortons looking for their abortion from "the bay area" & portland to eudemocracia and beyond is that we don't read on the first pass, BUT ON THE SEC | [02:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | OND. | [02:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | whereas usg.blue reads not-at-all, never ever no matter what and usg.red reads always-aforehand. both of these idiocies, equally idiotic as they find themselves, are therefore always found in some uneasy truce. but you can't properly notate "read on 2nd pass" as "didn't read" or "won't read". | [02:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | and so no, what worries me isn't that http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919296 what worries me is htat the last item in http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22trinque.org%22 is from 2018, and that trinque.org doesn't load today like deedbot.org didn't load yest, when i wanted to check the helpfile and ended up loading it from archive.is | [02:55] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-22 18:07 trinque: I noticed that not a soul read the scripts that bootstrap cuntoo | [02:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | what worries me is this approach whereby a) things tend to be discussed in response to some kind of prodding, and b) while that feeling lasts, only to c) fall back into an eerie silence within a few hours or maybe days, for WEEKS AND WEEKS AND MONTHS AND YEARS AT A TIME!!! | [02:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | rather than in the normal, and correct manner in which things are discussed, as they are noticed, to get to their bottom, which is then gotten to and marked as such and things move on, with the bottom in question an ever-reliable reference always at the ready for having been correctly found, and always visible just under the skin of things, for having been correctly found. | [02:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | and this paroxistic-avoidant approach worries me universally, phf is stuck in the exact same rut, for instance. i have never in my life seen this approach to things work. not once, not FUCKING ONCE, and this is all the more indicative as it's one of the most commonly deployed broken strategies. | [02:59] |
| diana_coman: | re reading of stuff I guess there is also the difference between one reading and full load-in-the-head it struck me that people would want others to do more load-in-the-head of what they produce so as to get finer-detail feedback | [03:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is always a crapshoot. | [03:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | i mean, i would also like people to do more loading-into-head of whatever their native language is, so i could get better movies, music lyrics and music videos, books, blog articles and everything else. | [03:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | but... what can you do. it's a crapshoot, you know this going in. | [03:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | in any case the "i am of the republic, i will now base my self worth on the qty and amt of loading-in-head my works get" is, as of yet, a recipe for eternal sadness. this is a new rather than old republic. | [03:25] |
| diana_coman: | what I don't understand is why not ask specifically if one would like detailed feedback on some bit/part they struggle with | [03:25] |
| diana_coman: | oh, I don't know if it's re self-worth rather interpreting the "not fully load-in-head" as "not read" | [03:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman, this is like slavegirl saying "i don't understand why not ask detailedly for tongue movements and assorted shenanigans". she gets punished if jher bj is subpar because i don't have the fucking patience to micromanage blowjobs. it'd be like writing the book im about to read, if i wrote it what sorta discovery is this! | [03:27] |
| diana_coman: | uhm, there seems to be something out of sync in there perhaps you are right and the problem is one of wrongly-attached self-worth though I did not see it that way | [03:28] |
| diana_coman: | in which case yes, what specific ask | [03:29] |
| diana_coman: | I rather saw it as "can't do this alone, need help but won't ask because it should come naturally" | [03:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | not sure that's all that different | [03:41] |
| diana_coman: | mircea_popescu: hm to make it clear what I mean re loading-in-head - arguably if I had fully loaded-in-head the scripts, I should have found http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-10#1901339 myself, right? | [03:54] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-03-10 21:39 trinque: scripts/make_portage_tree.sh << line 14, I do string-munging on the path that's specific to my own filesystem layout | [03:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman, i suppose in a very theoretical, idealized sense. in practice however... what are we to conclude on the basis of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-04#1884426 ? that neither i (nor anyone else here for that matter) had diffraction loaded in head ? the wave model of energy ? what exactly ? | [04:38] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-01-04 17:18 mircea_popescu: why the fuck didn't i think of that. | [04:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | this pov is even voiced, but always in a chiding tone in training environments. it has its place there, but i dunno how practicable it is in the general. | [04:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's this lengthy list of examples of people coming to grief through the process of "that mp so dumb, dun even know how to horseride a shirt" or w/e such. | [04:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | responsibility is a fine and great thing indeed but it's not mechanizable, as part and parcel of why we have a wot as it is rather than as the lulzentreprise everyone else imagines it to be. | [04:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman, more practically, are we running cuntoo latest or what is the situation there ? | [04:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | did i miss some articles ? | [04:49] |
| spyked: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919220 <-- well, I can't in all good faith sign and publish the item before I understand it well enough to maintain it myself -- for the same money, I could just claim "use the version on shithub" and be done with that. I agree 100% that I should do small regular updates, but in this case breaking the thing into its constituent parts is the challenge, and "hunchentoot arc | [05:40] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-22 13:57 mircea_popescu: the sort of "before publishing, I'm making sure" idiocy is exactly, but i do mean exactly, of the same substance as the fat girl's "this donut has no calories". it uses the exact same parts of the brain in the exact same way. | [05:40] |
| spyked: | hitecture" is actually next blogpost in the works. | [05:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | aite. | [05:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's no rule you must publish the signed thing. you can publish 11 drafts before signing, what of it. | [05:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | you also can publish on your own fucking schedule, just don't hang yourself in your own petard. | [05:41] |
| spyked: | but more specifically: the code I've stolen works so far, I have it serving an instance of thetarpit plus a somewhat-working experiment doing dynamic stuff PHP-style. but there's a lotta complexity in the work distribution code that has me going "wtf". perhaps one good task would be to implement a worker-pool thing, similarly to what apache has. | [05:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | how do you work, do you have this codepile loaded up in some sort of management interface ? does it permit adnotation ? | [05:45] |
| spyked: | for the moment all my notes are in a text file that's going to grow into a blogpost as soon as it has a head and a tail | [05:46] |
| spyked: | line-per-line annotation sounds like a neat idea, but I don't have anything like that going | [05:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | well, you know like suppose hutchentoot was http://trilema.com/2013/internet-story/ | [05:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | now admire what i can do : http://trilema.com/2013/internet-story/#selection-13.14-37.22 << this part is boring http://trilema.com/2013/internet-story/#selection-41.0-57.15 << this part is a quote http://trilema.com/2013/internet-story/#selection-61.0-65.37 << this part is about bitcoin http://trilema.com/2013/internet-story/#selection-65.37-89.175 << i have no fucking idea wtf this is. | [05:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | can you do this in some manner ? so people can follow your work if they can be arsed to import the same ide / cms ? (here, it's a bit of js, and a browser, that entire stack) | [05:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | and so some other guy can go "that nfi part is just a discussion of so and so, like this" and so on ? | [05:52] |
| mircea_popescu: | because it occurs to me that ~if~ you publish your codebase you're working on, and if your blog works correctly in the mp-wp sense, then therefore you get all this for free, just make a metapost. | [05:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | or alternatively, there's all sorta greatness, phf has a perfectly workable code metadiscussion system on btcbase, jurov had a ver yworkable one for earlier trb work and so fucking on. | [05:53] |
| spyked: | oh I see. I could do something like that, as in http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/08b-feedbot-ii.html#selection-150.0-167.116 . but IMHO the btcbase referencing style makes more sense for code | [05:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | this "here i sit, my eyes intelligent, my expression absent" situation's for the birds. | [05:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | spyked, i have no stylistical qualms, it's just an example of phisiology. use whatever works best, sure. | [05:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, i shall bbl. | [05:55] |
| spyked: | this makes perfect sense, I'ma do that for my next code-report. | [06:02] |
| diana_coman: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-23#1919625 - s.mg test is running proto-cuntoo (non-musltronic) so not latest, no there was this http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875228 and http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-09#1901069 as long as there is the CS dependency still on server, a move to static & musltronic only is also likely to be a lot of work. | [08:09] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-23 08:49 mircea_popescu: diana_coman, more practically, are we running cuntoo latest or what is the situation there ? | [08:09] |
| a111: | Logged on 2018-11-27 18:11 diana_coman: trinque, that looks great if I understand correctly, the archive there contains the means to a. install cuntoo b. make the genesis of cuntoo/portage that could in principle be used to move an existing gentoo to cuntoo is this correct? | [08:09] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-03-09 22:45 trinque: the remainder of work here is resolving this issue (I have not had) with paths, after which we can start producing ebuilds for novel republican work atop the genesis. | [08:09] |
| diana_coman: | so far other parts took priority (smg comms and client) but at least my understanding was that there is work being done further on cuntoo, I had no idea that it was stuck waiting on more intensive use or something | [08:11] |
| mp_en_viaje: | well, that's what i thought as well. | [08:24] |
| mp_en_viaje: | diana_coman, but basically, it's running the same thing from 2018 and the reason it doesnt move is that a) we couldn't give less of a shit about ebuilds while b) we can't easily change the pile of dependencies to live with musl and so yet haven't. | [08:28] |
| mp_en_viaje: | anyway, seems in the ripe silence of lack of activty all sorta things grew disjointed an' out of sync. | [08:32] |
| mp_en_viaje: | always a nice discovery to make. | [08:32] |
| diana_coman: | quite. | [08:40] |

| mp_en_viaje: | yes but look, is the idea here that for the past whatever, 4-5 months you have been ~so busy~ that not only you had no time to say things about your work on gentoo, but also somehow ended up isolated into yourself among sadnesses about how nobody reads and such ? | [13:46] |
| mp_en_viaje: | obviously, on some level, there's only so many hours in the day, whether one works or doesn't, still there's a finite time. | [13:46] |
| mp_en_viaje: | but is there absolutely no more to it ? | [13:47] |
| trinque: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-17#1914461 << this wasn't a throwaway comment, nor was it an insult to anybody. lords, or simply strapping dudes looking to score, better be holding coin at the end of the day. | [13:56] |

| trinque: | the cumulative work on gentoo was wasted cycles if portage is undesired, as most of the work was around capturing portage in a given state | [13:57] |
| trinque: | that's not anyone's problem but mine, but pointing at it illustrates what I'd like to avoid repeating | [13:58] |
| mp_en_viaje: | trinque, wouldja hang on a minute here ? | [13:58] |
| mp_en_viaje: | the point was to get it in a ~state~. something to start actual decrufting work from. portage itself is mostly a raft for navigating the phenomenology of fosstardation | [13:58] |
| mp_en_viaje: | what it does is, give some measure of anti-friability to the everchange. | [13:58] |
| mp_en_viaje: | neh ? | [13:59] |
| trinque: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919413 << indeed | [13:59] |
| a111: | Logged on 2019-06-22 21:34 trinque: my intent here has been to stablize the workbench and then make a *hard* break with the whole stack | [13:59] |
| mp_en_viaje: | right. so portage might be the pipe that got you your galon of linux. but that is what you wanted -- not the faucet, but the galon. | [14:00] |
| mp_en_viaje: | whole fucking interest for us here is to do ~something~ (not entirely known what exactly yet) so that we... don't fucking need portage ever again. | [14:00] |
| mp_en_viaje: | or any thing like it. | [14:00] |
| trinque: | we agree. I contend that folks are going to have to build e.g. v, gnat, in order to move forward, which is why I'm asking for ebuilds | [14:08] |

| mp_en_viaje: | or so i thought at the time but maybe the forum really wanted to hear more about how literally nothing can be fucking compiled without rewriting some parts, etc | [18:26] |

| asciilifeform: | ( spoiler: also demanded 'wine', and with in the end same result as mp's 3d card ) | [18:27] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, i recall this. | [18:27] |
| mp_en_viaje: | and i STILL know as close as anything can be known as a matter of fact that the code's fundamentally fine, and some wrapper intermediary is spuriously fucking it up. | [18:28] |
| mp_en_viaje: | for maximal enjoyment of this life. | [18:28] |
| asciilifeform: | fundamental culprit is idjit 1970s os where no meaningful debug (or even localization of eggog) is possible, at least w/out year+ of sweat (that who has resource for?) | [18:29] |
| asciilifeform: | one time asciilifeform had a paid contract to make a (early 2000s) wireless nic (w/ various oddball features for physics experiment) behave under opensores. took entire summer. | [18:31] |
| asciilifeform: | another time, robot. took year+. | [18:31] |
| asciilifeform: | (of all day, erry day, grind) | [18:31] |
| asciilifeform: | could be , asciilifeform's hands grow from arse, and someone else can do 2x faster ? who knows | [18:31] |
| asciilifeform: | in each case, ought to be said, required 100% demolition of 100% of the 'purportedly worx!!' liquishits | [18:32] |
| mp_en_viaje: | currently i suspect something's ni-ing out a shader's pointer. but anyway | [18:38] |
| asciilifeform: | rright but who's gonna attempt debug of 50MB closed turd. | [18:39] |
| mp_en_viaje: | not i. | [18:39] |
| * asciilifeform | [patched once a 300kB closed turd][http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1667], it took coupla months | [18:39] |
| asciilifeform: | err, | [18:39] |

| mp_en_viaje: | keks | [18:40] |
| asciilifeform: | aaand that was an item where i found jtag test points that could be soldered & operated | [18:40] |
| asciilifeform: | i.e. single-steppable | [18:40] |
| asciilifeform: | illustrative case where ~not~ found : 'cr50' | [18:44] |
| asciilifeform: | another illustrative case, amd 2015 g-series, where debug contacts disabled w/out magic key | [18:46] |

| mod6: | trinque: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/4YG2X/?raw=true << Here is my **experimental only** ebuild, 'ave1_musltronic_tools_x86_64-20180924.ebuild'. I've been placing this file, while testing in a directory ' /var/db/repos/mod6/app-tmsr/ave1_musltronic_tools_x86_64'. | [21:21] |
| mod6: | To make this work properly, I built all of the ave1 musltronic tools on a gentoo instance with a 2016 AdaCore GNAT, then bundled up all of the binaries myself, and placed 'em on mod6.net for testing purposes. | [21:22] |
| mod6: | With everything in the right place... (I even needed a '/var/db/repos/mod6/metadata' directory with one file in it, 'layout.conf', that contains one single line: masters = cuntoo) then I was able to run a `ebuild ave1_musltronic_tools_x86_64-20180924.ebuild clean manifest install merge` and end up with the extracted contents in '/ave1_musltronic_tools_x86_64-20180924'. | [21:25] |
| mod6: | Anyway, I'm only just getting started with these. If there are glaring mistakes or feedback otherwise, please write in. | [21:26] |
| trinque: | fuck yes mod6 ! | [21:43] |
| trinque: | I will soon give this a try. | [21:44] |
| trinque: | hm, in reading it, it looks like this pulls a mysterymeat tarball from your server and unpacks it, but doesn't build anything | [21:47] |
| trinque: | the idea here would be to rebuild it from source, not just use the bins you built | [21:47] |
| trinque: | ah maybe it's all covered by ebuild defaults, I'm perhaps mistaken | [21:49] |
| trinque: | another thought, might make sense to call this sys-devel/gcc-9999, so one might perma-satisfy w/e caltrops demand gcc of a particular (and always higher) version | [21:52] |
| mod6: | hey, sorry for the delay. | [22:15] |
| mod6: | so I never was able to build the ave1 musltronic tools on cuntoo, because no working gnat, I just bundled them up after I built them on a gentoo machine that had a working AdaCore 2016. | [22:16] |
| mod6: | If the thinking is that it ~can~ be built on cuntoo, I'd much prefer an ebuild that would do that dance indeed. | [22:16] |
| trinque: | yep, gcc can be built on a musl system | [22:21] |
| mod6: | alright, I'll have to go back and try to get this to build on here. | [22:24] |
| trinque: | there are likely challenges around getting a gnat on there with which to build itself. | [22:24] |
| mod6: | yeah, i think this was the issue. | [22:25] |
| mod6: | http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/IY76z/?raw=true << this is what I end up with, fwiw. | [22:32] |
| mod6: | For completeness, this is what happens when you try to install AdaCore 2016 (binaries) on Cuntoo (keep in mind that the install actually does place the binaries in the expected places...): http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/vX16f/?raw=true | [22:42] |
| trinque: | mod6: this is expected they're linked with glibc | [22:42] |
| trinque: | oddly the OS reports a missing libc as "file not found" when executing the bin that wants it | [22:43] |
| trinque: | actually makes sense, I guess it means the libc wasn't found, but it's unclear when it happens | [22:43] |
| mod6: | Anyway, if I could work around this issue, then I can make an ebuild that'll build ave1s stuff with this. | [22:43] |
| trinque: | mod6: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2017/11/05/4 << possible line of inquiry | [22:47] |
| * mod6 | looks | [22:47] |
| mod6: | hmm. | [23:02] |
| ave1: | trinque, doesn't cuntoo with default gcc also build it with some mystery meat? it probably starts out on a host with gcc? | [23:55] |
| ave1: | btw I've *not* used the ada core version as a starting point for about a year now | [23:56] |
