BingoBoingo: http://bazalt.ru/en/nonlethal_weapons/ << Today, lethality weapons include weapons which lethality rate does not exceed 25 per cent.

dub: mircea_popescu: back to your wire, validate your instrumentation first.

thickasthieves: <+mircea_popescu> so if you add 8th from elegius ///8PH

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no idea about 'super', but these are ubiquitous in the radio industry.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is actually a traditional means of generating 'hardware entropy' on a pc. i rediscovered it as a kid, thought i 'had something nice'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most obvious explanation is clocks.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: describe briefly the geometry of the wire.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sure. symbionts. now engineer some...

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thermodynamics concerns the inevitable, rather the immediate. e.g., the japanese prolonged holdout against gunpowder.

decimation: re: headphone "muffs": I used these sometimes in the office: http://support.radioshack.com/support_electronics/doc67/67054.htm (330-1198)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there are published recipes for this. see 'multi-party computation' literature.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: probably some crackpot m-of-n scheme again

BingoBoingo: Pierre_Rochard: There's a lot of small shit schools getting on the doctoral train trying to escape their regional labels, so it is best not to use bachelor+masters as a measure. That and there are Bachelors (sometimes + masters) schools that are better candidates for escaping regionalness than some shitholes like Ohio State.

mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard i originally thought it's a highschool/municipal sort of stadium for some reason.

BingoBoingo: Pierre_Rochard: Regionalness is an attribute that can feature differently on Aspects of a University. Consider a school in the opposite situation, Texas Tech. National University in athletics and very regional school academically.

Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: yup, seats 55k http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Dodd_Stadium_at_Historic_Grant_Field

mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard so basically it's the georgia tech stadium ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bek ?

BingoBoingo: Pierre_Rochard: It seems that list strengthens the case of it as a regional school when it comes to Athletics.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://youtu.be/rR56uNg2XQs?t=2m43s << finally found the ancient cartoon with the schooltard who zaps all of history so he doesn't have to pass exam.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: For sure. With one of these discovering how much was spent will be a hard problem unless they just let the number slip.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That one's some regional school. Probably sponsored because it is close not BitPay's Atlanta HQ.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to be fair, the machine (as described originally by r. feynman) doesn't divine history a la asimov's 'chronoscope', but merely computes certain classes of function unusually cheaply.

benkay: <mircea_popescu> maybe i visit after the fall. play fallout in new reno irl or some4thing. // empire collapse when

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/big-numbers-random-numbers-and-whos-got-your-number/ << 'random-looking number' is reminiscent of the 'miasma theory' of disease causation. in fact, much of what presently passes for 'seekoority' is quite like miasma epidemiology. crock of shit, resulting not only from inability, but from unwillingness to to even contemplate cause-effect.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: '...died from an infection in 2010... << the rate at which these people die of preventable causes is ridiculous' << quite likely, that fellow really died of - sleep deprivation. compromised immune system. and yes, one wouldn't expect an actual 'master of the universe' to succumb to sleep deprivation. senior bureaucrats, on the other hand - sure.

thickasthieves: mike_c dont get the velvet m50 pads!

thickasthieves: mike_c for even more value for the price, and less heavy: http://www.amazon.com/JVC-Head-band-Headphones-HA-S500-Z-Gunmetallic/dp/B008FWB9XW these won't block outside noise as much though

thickasthieves: <+cazalla> i love my m50s /// mike_c those are the best in that price range imo

Vexual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oMQ4ZFdH5c

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yes, otherwise known as "that movie that came out when I was 8 or 9 years old that I wasn't allowed to watch because it had a chick with 3 tits in it"

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: you've seen Total Recall, no?

cazalla: mike_c, only thing i dislike about m50s is the soundstage is a little too small for fps gaming, i switch to my speakers when gaming but they aren't gaming headphones to begin with so isn't a big issue

cazalla: mike_c, didn't know they had an m50x, i still think i'd go the m50s due to no coil and i would likely lose the cable if i could detach it anyway

Vexual: mike_c get rabbit fur bads for extra boss

mircea_popescu: mike_c it exactly.

mircea_popescu: mike_c makes it quite impossible to get the wrong change.

dub: bitches don't know about mike_c's pimp roll

hanbot: mike_c imo etymotic earphones rule all.

decimation: benkay I think you mean bacterial outbreaks. They are already happening: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/superbug-stalked-nih-hospital-last-year-killing-six/2012/08/22/5be18b1a-ec66-11e1-9ddc-340d5efb1e9c_story.html

benkay: mircea_popescu: die of "an infection" ? // i prefer the interpretation where the us is always on the verge of horrific viral outbreaks due to decades of antibacterial abuse

benkay: mircea_popescu: that nobody ever read // it's p lulzy people still buy that

benkay: mircea_popescu: well keep la serenissima posted

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: Theodore Y. Ts'o doesn't comprehend what random means << 'random' is simply a non-scientific qualifier. like 'big'. << looking forward to reading medicine treatises in similar terms. something tells me teh colonies will soon deliver.

decimation: http://trilema.com/2012/in-re-philosophy-freedom-of-scientific-information/#footnote_0_44044 "You probably know of it through the ulterior, bastardized, middle-class morality of ?no politics at the dinner table?. In practice, people were gathered around the table because they had business together, and the bourgeois do not wish to have higher considerations possibly interfere with their stuffing of the gullet, so they adapted an old

benkay: <mircea_popescu> for a coupla hours there it looked like the whole damned charade'll have to be taken down and redone. // mpex?

mircea_popescu: for anyone looking to get a taste of obscure bug parade : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659512

mircea_popescu: 64 bytes from [x.x.x.x]: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.47 ms

jurov: mircea_popescu: i meant for you to have actual modem onsite, to be able to reach mpex even if there's internet problem

benkay: mircea_popescu: it's a wild ride

herbijudlestoids: but i guess mircea_popescu knows whats what when it comes to building the system he designed

punkman: mircea_popescu: anyone can connect to a website on dial-up as it is. << I think he meant having his modem dial a telephone number for mpex

pankkake: ;;later tell Duffer1 http://fs65.trilulilu.ro/imgs/BesTiuTzu/cea-mai-tare-unitate_3aa1759f9e8c56.jpg

jurov: ;;later tell mircea_popescu ever considered dial-in access to mpex? decommissioned hardware should be cheap and it'd work internationally (9600 baud would suffice)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not sure how similar to your girl, but all i could think of in that lecture was 'why no one humanely shoots this broken horse?'

Pierre_Rochard: Reminds me of this diagram (excuse the wp): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Challenge_vs_skill.svg

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i spoke to other people from that time, and they remember her. from other lectures.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i didn't know any better, i'd imagine we went to uni together. we had 'the same' chick! she bedeviled our number theory prof with at least a hundred very boneheaded questions every lecture. he seethed, boiled, but couldn't throw her out. why? 'registered special needs.' (going for math degree!) she even got unlimited time on exams. ☟︎☟︎
