[18:40] psydruid at least I don't [18:42] activelow and those who grabbed trillions of cash won't either [18:46] psydruid I ported my assembly sources for my computer organisation course from x86 to ARM, RISC-V and POWER (with MIPS, SPARC and 68k to be added later) last year to learn how to do that and I'm still working on snippets of code from time to time [18:47] psydruid because I don't want my software to depend on Intel's dying architecture in the long term and don't want to have a need for keeping that hardware around either [18:52] activelow x86 and ARM isn't a specific ISA anyway, too many variants and versions and extensions of them [18:53] activelow that's why, Z80 has some appeal, didn't change in 40 years, it is 16bit addressing and registers (with 8bit databus, and 4bit ALUs, slow) [18:54] activelow don't know in detail, but even 16bit registers can be chained to do 32bit with some tricks in software, correct me if i am wrong, maybe 32bit arithmetics are possible with z80, not sure about floating point, need to check [18:57] activelow had seen some softcore FPGA of z80, at 100HMz, with 64MiB RAM; and CISC is probably a little more pleasant to do when coding assembly, don't know for sure [18:57] psydruid I explicitly targetted only aarch64 for ARM and I'll see later about floating point and SVE2 [18:57] psydruid well, I find RISC easier to understand and to program for [18:58] activelow i want to practice assembly coding, but do not want to confuse myself with more than one variant of it [18:58] activelow this needs practice, similar to C programming or any other, needs practice, thats why, maybe Z80 is fun to continue with ● Sep 01 [19:00] activelow maths need practice too [19:01] activelow thats why, i hate it if "innovations" are wasting precious time [19:07] activelow psydruid: you would recommend RISC assembly (if no high level programming language existed a compiler emitted RISC for and a developer had to write it)? [19:10] psydruid activelow, I would, but maybe that's because I get lost whenever I try to read (more like decipher) anything x86. I learned POWER and MIPS first and programmed m68k for a lab back in 1999, but I would have to study it to get back into it. [19:11] psydruid I think Z80 is fine too, but I don't know about segments etc. [19:11] psydruid and my Z80 programming skills are from my early teenage years in the early 90s [19:11] psydruid so I don't really remember anything [19:12] activelow i started rather late with programming, with the higher level ones i can cope with all of them, and didn't have any noteworthy hissues to comprehend circuit design [19:14] activelow i failed horribly with motorola 68k later; tried a few weeks without any real task at hand or guidance to follow, and too much other stuff in parallel to it. [19:16] activelow rodny zak's book fills the gap i hope, and the gigatron ttl is the missing link between circuit design and CPU architecture [19:16] psydruid for me the interesting part is that I didn't learn MIPS and m68k in a computer science course, but rather in a applied physics course [19:17] psydruid so already at that time I was skeptical about the things being taught in the CS curriculum [19:17] psydruid I'm going to re-read a modern book applied to RISC-V over the next few months, but I know about Rodny Zak's book too [19:17] activelow analog electronics, physics and maths and signal processing are highly relevant lectures too, yes; that's why i hate most of the distractions elsewhere [19:19] activelow if i could have done most of it with basic and z80 assembly this had spared me lots of headache and confusion [19:21] psydruid all these modern frameworks and bloated code, not to mention proprietary tools have caused the level of actual knowledge in students to decrease significantly [19:21] psydruid as you have mentioned before [19:21] activelow i'll try to assemble some z80 system first, without proprietary parts and software if possible, maybe onto a lattice iCE40 softcore system, and a clean VT100 terminal (geoff's one if the parts are shipped from netherlands) [19:21] psydruid but I notice that professors aren't very interested in teaching students the real basics anymore either [19:22] activelow maybe, if the court doesn't rip me to death, i can afford a gigatron shipped from netherlands too, it is available, less than a dozen are stockpiled to solder together [19:23] activelow ideally i could rent some office space and a tiny lab, and some fresh air outside instead of the terror in the city here [19:24] activelow psydruid: the profs i remember intended to lecture the relevant basics, but telekom management imposed their ideals instead [19:24] activelow wasn't aware of the scale and severity of the problems, 15 years ago [19:24] activelow besides the other ideological and political lunacies [19:26] psydruid I'm in the netherlands [19:26] psydruid and my university is in delft [19:26] psydruid fortunately things aren't that bad here yet [19:26] psydruid but I also believe companies have already infiltrated too much [19:29] psydruid Intel and Microsoft being some of the worst [19:32] psydruid best is to ignore most of what they do and just focus on the basics you want to learn [19:33] activelow need to finish a letter to court before; at least i got this documented now; they want to rip me to death, although they owe me; they blame me for their faults. [19:35] activelow if this is finished, i'll not continue with maintenance of linux anymore and keep this on lowest priority possible; lock into some 4.4 EOL kernel, kick out x11 and any other things, and updated once a year from source. [19:36] activelow at least, i got the entire cross-development tooling ready, to support and target any desired architecture, in case gnu/linux ever had any priority again. [19:43] psydruid I did a lot with gnu/linux from 2000 until about 2010, but since then I haven't been very active with the operating system itself [19:44] psydruid I only found out about systemd later and was getting annoyed with pulseaudio in the early 2010s [19:44] psydruid so I knew things were getting strange [19:50] activelow i came from somewhere else: telecom studies and always felt, in principle, neither any gnu/linux nor windows system were particularly helpful [19:51] activelow not at least the Ti92 calculator firmware and schematics were opensource, and this calculator was particularly useful either [19:51] activelow was not [19:56] psydruid my primary studies were/are in applied physics, but I realised that I didn't want to be dependent on computer scientists for designing and implementing computer systems [19:56] psydruid so I decided to major in computer science and engineering too [19:56] psydruid I broke off my studies and worked for quite a few years [19:56] psydruid but after working at a few multinational companies I realised that much of what they were doing wasn't groundbreaking or advanced [19:57] psydruid so I quit and went back to studies with the only aim of educating myself with industry experience [19:58] activelow the mathematics and basics are most challenging, even if i could a quit and safe place to live and work, the maths alone (which i wasn't too bad with) to catch up would take some time [19:59] activelow already forgot complex numbers, the Euler-sinus transform (to express sine as euler exponential function, forgot how it was called), differential equations and such [19:59] psydruid I finally got back into maths this year regaining some of my skills in calculus and linear algebra ● Sep 01 [20:00] activelow could grasp fourier, laplace was too fast ahead (in parallel to java and oracle and whatnot other nonsense lectured at that time in parallel) [20:00] activelow didn't master signal processing anymore (describing eletronic circuit with laplace transform and apply a signal and calculate the response, this part was heaviest) [20:02] psydruid I did all of those maths and also signal processing (minus the electronic circuit stuff) [20:02] psydruid yes, those other courses end up taking too much of your time [20:02] activelow coding theory, trellis and such, network routing algorithms, statistics, all that, in three years [20:02] activelow and then i quit, and telekom didn't at least bother to ask why [20:03] activelow instead they began falsifying records, cut off my electric supply (which i rarely used any), among other psycho terrors [20:05] psydruid it's too much material for three years [20:05] psydruid they expect students to be superhumans [20:06] activelow https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/german-plane-crash/germanwings-crash-80-percent-wreckage-recovered-alps-n342041 [20:06] -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.nbcnews.com | Germanwings Crash: 80 Percent of Wreckage Recovered from Alps [20:07] activelow the management doesn't expect or plan anything, doesn't take any responsibility or provides any guidance at all; it is only short-sighted shareholder greed and cash grabbing interests [20:09] activelow don't ask me why the management (airbus) arranged for such a pilot to take seat in an aircraft, shortly after i too received a letter from munich bureaucrats who threatened me with incarceration and a list prepared for physicians to record my medical conditions [20:09] activelow in parallel, it is entangled with insane party politics and ideological lunacies in germany [20:11] activelow https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/merkel-late-for-g-20-as-plane-woes-leave-her-stranded-in-germany [20:11] -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.bloombergquint.com | Merkel to Arrive Late to G-20 After Plane Trouble Leaves Her Stranded in Germany [20:12] activelow https://nationalpost.com/news/world/merkels-trip-to-g20-delayed-because-of-electronic-fault-on-plane [20:12] -TechPolBot/#techpol-nationalpost.com | German air force rules out criminal tampering after Merkels G20 flight forced to land | National Post [20:15] activelow https://www.dw.com/en/german-defense-ministry-illegally-wiped-phone-data-of-ursula-von-der-leyen/a-51764162 [20:15] -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.dw.com | German Defense Ministry illegally wiped phone data of Ursula von der Leyen | Germany | News and in-depth reporting from Berlin and beyond | DW | 21.12.2019 [20:16] activelow "have already gathered over 4,000 documents and questioned 30 people over the affair, but they say crucial evidence is still missing" [20:16] *techrights_guest|12 (~44ae4b8f@54n9xgft8g6u2.irc) has joined #techpol [20:17] *techrights_guest|12 has quit (Quit: Connection closed) [20:20] activelow https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/natos-real-problem-germanys-military-dying-102362 [20:20] -TechPolBot/#techpol-nationalinterest.org | NATO's Real Problem: Germany's Military Is Dying | The National Interest [20:20] activelow "In the past year numerous articles have arisen demonstrating the Bundeswehrs lack of readiness.

[20:52] activelow no reports so fare, this would continue the trend, of weekly ~5000 immigrants, legal or not, and ~300000 annually as an aggregate? [20:52] activelow so far [20:53] activelow in Nrnberg, it is maybe 90% of immigrants in the city, rough estimate, official data says otherwise [20:54] activelow i summarize this as follows: germany is politically and socially bancrupt already, not fincially and economicially, not yet, since the insane mismanagement was compensated by ruining competitive business and relying on volatile international supply chains, even with critical infrastructure at stake [20:55] activelow and that's why, i think, nuclear plants must be shut down in germany, end of 2022, for socio-economic instability, lack of education, lack of staff to operate critical infrastructure long-term [20:56] activelow https://www.dw.com/en/germany-shuts-down-atomic-plant-as-nuclear-phase-out-enters-final-stretch/a-51845616 [20:56] -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.dw.com | Germany shuts down atomic plant as nuclear phase-out enters final stretch | News | DW | 31.12.2019 [20:56] activelow electricity prices for "renewable energy" at electric vehicle charging stations reached records of 80cents/kWh [20:57] activelow political explanation was lack of charging stations, which is a propaganda lie, truth is "renewable" supply simply does not compensate at all [20:58] activelow instead coal power plant are operating at record output already in germany - and this is labeled as "ecological" "energy revolution" by politics [20:59] activelow in USA there was some rumors industry was desperate to hire educated staff for long-term reliable operation (PDP-11 in General Electric plants, gigatron type equipment) ● Sep 01 [21:00] activelow another irony is this, given german industry argued to hire skilled staff sourced from immigration: they wouldn't at least know whom to hire for what anymore, due to lack of guidance and management [21:02] activelow they could be presented with gigatron expertise, and would reject it since it misses Altera or some IBM branding in the curriculum vitae [21:04] activelow that's why, although impressive, investments such as Bosch in Dresden or Motorola in Arizone probably are not long-term reliable ones [21:05] activelow wouldn't at least trust this wasn't some rebranded mostly made-in-china, don't know [21:05] activelow https://www.dw.com/en/dresden-area-cranks-up-chip-production/av-57798528 [21:05] -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.dw.com | Dresden area cranks up chip production | Business | Economy and finance news from a German perspective | DW | 07.06.2021 [21:05] activelow any facility built there was defunct a few years later, AMD research departed from dresden iirc [21:07] activelow i doubt any of this is any long-term reliable investment [21:07] activelow https://www.forbes.com/sites/tiriasresearch/2021/03/23/arizona-becomes-us-semiconductor-central/ [21:07] -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.forbes.com | Arizona Becomes US Semiconductor Central [21:08] activelow becomes? wrong.

[21:09] activelow Dresden *was* the research center of Robotron (Zilog clone u880 manufacturing) [21:09] activelow and this is gone, forever [21:10] activelow it wasn't competitive necessarily, but it could have been long-term reliable; similar to Motorola/Arizona [21:10] AdmFubar won't last long there.... not enough water in aridzona! [21:25] activelow Trump was aiming at Z80 and lattice semiconductor, sanctioning them as "threat to national security" [21:26] activelow instead, i think, it is USA corporations and their business habits themselves, which pose the threat, long before Trump, with actions such as semiconductor protection act of 1984, software patents, and hijacking univerisities and politics to push their short-term business interests [21:27] activelow Tesla was a prime example for this, the entire "ecological" labeling of this was a scam, systematically orchestrated by "think tanks" with their outreach into german politics to dictate news and media [21:28] activelow because, Tesla never generated cash flow or profits from their electric vehicles, Tesla is valued by their acquisition of "CO2 certificates" which other industrial competition from germany *must* buy at dictated prices [21:30] activelow to secure this source of income the "carbon tax" scam was perpetuated recently, to increase the prize in favor of shareholders and cash flow generated from this [21:32] activelow meanwhile, german industry *must* take down nuclear plants, due to political and social instabilities, related to another dictate, immigration with consequences of educational level in germany [21:36] activelow in the meantime, the 500 german military cooperators in afghanistan recorded increased to a number of tens of thousands to evacuate, in a few weeks [21:37] activelow nope, 7days [21:55] *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed) [21:55] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@h78ejff5bgtxk.irc) has joined #techpol ● Sep 01 [22:12] activelow 300million dollars daily, for afghanistan [22:14] psydruid for what exactly?
