BTC-Mining: Luckily life is not like american
tv shows. Or we'd have been beaten up so many
times. =P
BTC-Mining: It was entertaining.
They're very good friends
too.
Diablo-D3: also, someone has notified me
that people actually went
to
the bitcoinica conference
BTC-Mining: or giving you
the hitler salute. Or walking around you doing freestyle rap, but not in a serious way.
Diablo-D3: BTC-Mining: your high school life was more exciting
than mine
BTC-Mining: Try walking around corridors with
two people walking around you like
their on strike demanding higher salaries >.>
BTC-Mining: I remember back in high school... where normal people would walk with friends
talking, I'd be followed by my
two atheists friends who've decided
to worship me AND go on strike demanding higher salaries for
the disciples of
this sect having 2 followers.
Diablo-D3: unicode even has a form of
the ikon
Diablo-D3: BTC-Mining: but
thats not religious, its entertainment
BTC-Mining: Diablo-D3: false, you can be atheist AND worship a persona in a ridicule fashion, as
to mock sects (aka fake or set-up worshipping)
Bane_Capital: Diablo-D3 is a
transgendered, atheist, scientologist.
mircea_popescu: o it was hk not kludge nm. but yes, he said
that as a joke
[\\\]: can we get all
the other fud out of
the way
too?
[\\\]: i know
that for a fact.
Bane_Capital: It's funny how people are willing
to call out my alt accounts
[\\\]: 2 hookers and a ball of
tar
Diablo-D3: how much does smickles, smickles, and smickles cost
to hire?
Bugpowder: who
the fuck is buying 10 share lots of GSDPT
Bugpowder: I'm making sure my mining investments will still be paying out during
the wait
Diablo-D3: and I
think
the way
they've set it up even if it has a few bad sha cores it should still work
Bugpowder: switch from flip chip
to zif connectors
Diablo-D3: gigavps:
there is just a lot of evidence against
them
Bugpowder: vendors say
they can do
the spec sheet.
they cant do
the spec sheet
Diablo-D3: Bugpowder: yeah,
that really sucks
Diablo-D3: I wonder if
thats all
the same fab and it either changed hands or works for multiple companies
Bugpowder: It literally
took 2 years
to go from working prototype
to successful production run
Bugpowder: The biggest issue we had with our custom silicon probes was
the bump soldering
to each lead
Diablo-D3: a lot of companies offer packaging as well so you dont have
to go off site
to do it
Bugpowder: So were do
these guys do
the bonding and packaging of
the silicon
Diablo-D3: they can make anything if you supply
them with
the mask.
Diablo-D3: Bane_Capital:
these are all chip fabs
Diablo-D3: smic is in shanghai and beijing and
tianjin, 45, 65, 90, 130
Diablo-D3: ibm ha
two fabs in
the US, fishkill ny and essex junction vt, but I dont know what sizes
mircea_popescu: Bane_Capital
they're producing hot chicks in uniform at an amazing rate.
Diablo-D3: tsmc has
two different plants in
taiwan,
they do a bunch of sizes including 65 and 130, plus one in shanghai
Diablo-D3: 28, 180, 350, and 600 (holy shit
they still have a 600nm plant open)
Diablo-D3: amd/globalfoundries has one in germany, does 45nm and will also be
the site of
their next gen stuff
Diablo-D3: all of
them do 22, 32, or 45, and chandler is building a 14nm fab
Diablo-D3: intel has four fabs in
the US, hillsboro or, chandler az, rio rancho nm, and hudson ma
Diablo-D3: intel still does 65nm at
the fab in chandler az
Diablo-D3: I'd rather
the chips be fabbed here
Diablo-D3: usagi:
there are no 130nm and 65nm fabs in
the US afaik
Diablo-D3: usagi: but Ill also remind you
taiwan is not recognized by
the UN and
their seat is held by China.
Diablo-D3: theres also
two major industrial fan manufacturers
there
Diablo-D3: Im also aware most non-memory storage devices are made
there
Diablo-D3: yes, Im aware
that 98% of
the world's memory is produced in
taiwan.
Diablo-D3: where do you
think almost all
the world's chip fabs are
PsychoticBoy: If asicminer will succeed,
thats
the question, I dont believe it
Diablo-D3: usagi: exactly, and if
they miss
the october launch date, asicminer wins
Diablo-D3: and you have
to pay for
the entire run up front
Diablo-D3: plus
they asked for investor money up front
Diablo-D3: so Im just putting 1 and 1
together
to get 2 here.
Diablo-D3: if
they had 10 million in
the bank
they could afford a PR firm
to stop fucking up shit as well
Diablo-D3: unless
they had 10 million in
the bank
Diablo-D3: 65 still has
them, small wafer size 130s dont
gigavps: you look at
their bank account?
Diablo-D3: unless
they got VERY lucky
to get a shared silicon 65nm run,
they wont be on 65nm
gigavps: Diablo-D3 how do you know
that?
Diablo-D3: gigavps: because its all
they can afford
Diablo-D3: unless
they went
the altera sasic 65nm route
gigavps: Diablo-D3 i'm an almost positive
that ASICMINER specs are at 8w/Gh
Diablo-D3: asicminer is one of
those companies
that you dont want
to know how
the sausage is made
Diablo-D3: aiscminer had
to bust
their asses
to catch up
to bfl's unverified lead
Diablo-D3: asicminer says nov or dec,
they are cutting it close but will make it
Diablo-D3: bfl says october,
they wont make it
Diablo-D3: if
the finished boards have not arrived by jan, NOBODY gets anything until late feb
midnightmagic: Diablo-D3: I specifically wired up with 12/3, 20A plugs, full armoured conduit, nothing inside
the walls,
to accommodate future power requirements. We'll see! heh heh.
Diablo-D3: so even if asicminer is 50th on 200,
they won
Diablo-D3: anyhow, 50th for 532 (which has already been announced as
too high as an early estimate) vs 50th on 100
Diablo-D3: twice
that on a minirig still fits on a 15
midnightmagic: Diablo-D3: !! Well
that's interesting. I haven't read
that.
midnightmagic: Diablo-D3: Well, even if it's
twice
that, or
three
times
that, so long as
they fit on a 20A circuit, I'm fine with
that.
