smickles: mircea_popescu: you should sign and encrypt
the db with
the exchange key.
that way, should it become necessary for
the public
to decrypt it, you wouldn't need
to release your personal key
mircea_popescu: it doesn't look like so much but a lot of work went into
this
thing actually.
mircea_popescu: smickles and yes,
that
too, allows you
to see fast which sections changed if you store prev hashes
mircea_popescu: smickles and also, seen
the mpex db dump ? good insurance for customers, if
they put a big order in also save a db dump :p
BTC-Mining: Well it's purely guesses and speculation on my part anyway. I don't really know anything about development and
the need for dev boards.
mircea_popescu: basically
the point of
the md5 is precisely
to allow *some* armor hardening of
the
thing while still allowing it
to be read like plain
text
smickles: i'll have
to get back
to my main macine
smickles: oh, fing windows, i can't
test it with /n's in mind
smickles: OMG, mircea_popescu
that statjson will make
things so much easier, and
the md5, but what exactly is
the md5 of for each secton?
BTC-Mining: But if you need
to share it and use it all
the
time, a cheap one wouldn't be bad.
BTC-Mining: Well yeah. Renting is cheaper and you don't need
to buy
the whole hardware.
mircea_popescu: but reasonably if i wanted
to do parallel processing i'd still just rent out a rack of boxes and use
that.
mircea_popescu: im sure it's better
than a radeon vidcard in
that sense
BTC-Mining: So a more generic processor would be preferable. Unless you want
to do
tasks a GPU is good for.
BTC-Mining: Well it would do a variety of
tasks...
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining i don't imagine parallella chips do so well at parallelizing "a variety" of
tasks anyway
BTC-Mining: Would
they be as performant for any
task? Doesn't seem so. Aren't dev boards more like generic CPU for performing a larger variety of
tasks?
BTC-Mining: Because
they're designed
to do specific calculatations...
BTC-Mining: Yes... but not all good GPU are good at
that. Basically only Radeon.
BTC-Mining: But can you really do everything you can do on a dev board on
those?
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 you know
these ipos
tend
to be a lot of hype.
Diablo-D3: the smallest still in production 5xxx/69xx is a Cedar,
the 7350, 104 gflops, 20 watts
Diablo-D3: a 7750,
the smallest GCN, using
the ddr3 model, does 819 gflops and has 55 max watts and costs $109
Diablo-D3: okay so,
they're claiming 26 gigaflops on $99
BTC-Mining: and dev boards
tending
to be incredibly more expensive compared
to consumer grade hardware.
BTC-Mining: I don't really know cheap
tho. Just stating compared
to standalone consumer CPU/GPU specs and price.
kakobrekla: what does memory has
to do with anything here
kakobrekla: i pasted a link so you can read
this shit
kakobrekla: jeez, who are you
talking
to Diablo-D3
Diablo-D3: well, maybe not
that low of wattage
BTC-Mining: Once completed,
the 64-core version of
the Parallella computer would deliver over 90 GFLOPS of performance and would have
the
the horse power comparable
to a
theoretical 45 GHz CPU
Diablo-D3: TOO MUCH MASTURBATION IS BAD FOR
THE EYES
Diablo-D3: parallel computing is already accessable
to
the masses
Diablo-D3: I dont really see a point in
this
though
JWU42: yep - called him last week and he said
the same...
BTC-Mining: He wants all double payments back and
then processing payments before proceeding with releasing information I get it.
kakobrekla: hehe, love how mpex makes
their dump public while people wait for nefario
to wake up
BTC-Mining: Waiting for Nefario
to release assets data...
BTC-Mining: For
the rest, I just like
to have organized folders, searching for files is
too
tedious.
BTC-Mining: I keep off
the programs I don't use often but can at least remember
the names for
the start menu/search box.
BTC-Mining: I never really have
to look around for what I want
BTC-Mining: I ended up using imgur. It managed not
to freeze near
the end.
BTC-Mining: But
there's fixes for
that. Windows is quite customizable.
BTC-Mining: That and
the desktop only have so many space...
BTC-Mining: Well
the problem with
the desktop is files moving around when
the screen resolution changes or moving files displacing other icons.
BTC-Mining: Eh. Well I order
things on my desktop for easy access.
BTC-Mining: I have
that problem all
the
time. Web files, old game I want
to play again, web images I want
to get back editing on.
BTC-Mining: Find is only useful when you know
the filename.
BTC-Mining: Assuming you can't remember
the name for every
thousand files you have...
mircea_popescu: desktops are for people who use like... smartphones and shit like
that.
mircea_popescu: and by date and by size and by
their mother's pedigree
Diablo-D3: X exists
to display multiple
terms concurrently
Diablo-D3: seriously, I have icons
turned off
BTC-Mining: I have
to use
THE, meaning it's
THE one.
mircea_popescu: <BTC-Mining> hmm, Windows 8 looks like
THE shit. <<
that means great.
BTC-Mining: hmm, Windows 8 looks like
THE shit. ("shit" being used pejoratively)
BTC-Mining: But I guess
that would most closely define myself.
BTC-Mining: Simulation or not, seems like
the same
thing...
BTC-Mining: And even if it's not a simulation... It's a universe with particles and a set of rules how
they interact... It's basically
the same as a simulation, but in more complex.
BTC-Mining: We wouldn't know how
things work outside
the simulation.
BTC-Mining: That... we basically can't prove if what we see is a simulation or not while
testing and measuring from inside
the simulation based on our knowledge of simulations.
BTC-Mining: "Of course, any conclusions resulting from such work would be limited by
the possibility
that everything we
think we understand about quantum chromodynamics, or simulations for
that matter, could be flawed."
BTC-Mining: Everyone are self-certifying conspirators. All
truths are different and contradictory, but all
truths nevertheless.
BTC-Mining: Worry not, for it make no difference whatsoever because everything is nothing and nothing is everything and nothing. It's all in your head. Be sure
to keep it in
there! Here,
take a
tinfoil hat.
mircea_popescu: your conspiratorial attempts
to fool me into believing your conspiracies fail.
BTC-Mining: The Universe was created by
The Conspirator. It's just one huge conspiracy.
mircea_popescu: did pirate release
the list of depositor names and emails yet ?
mircea_popescu: actually... it might be
time someone makes a pympex port for
the latest python
