nubbins`: i should read about these ribbon speakers of yrs
kakobrekla: i cant listen to non-ribbon speakers any more
nubbins`: kakobrekla there's a guy i know makes speakers too, http://www.areaudio.com
nubbins`: i'm using a roland keyboard amp in the music studio and crappy infinity speakers on the record player ;/
kakobrekla: nubbins` not my pic but i use this for streaming flacs (with external clock) http://img.canuckaudiomart.com/uploads/large/1057680-logitech-modwright-transporter-rare-all-black-finish.jpg
nubbins`: https://www.withfriendship.com/images/i/42145/Steve-Albini-picture.jpg
kakobrekla: nubbins` i havent had a record player connected to my setup for years also
kakobrekla: i only have the old stuff
kakobrekla: i havent bought any in years.
kakobrekla: i have some records but not a collector
kakobrekla: yes, mine is isolated too and yet it still pops when i tested it. (yes have a dedicated card for this) ☟︎
nubbins`: kakobrekla i'd imagine a proper op-amp from the start would be cheaper than adding the socket
asciilifeform: i don't care where.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i've even seen ones with tube amp !
kakobrekla: anyway its possible it just takes effort, like i had to buy 50 high end fans to find be-quiet
asciilifeform: what i really want is just a 1m long heat pipe from each cpu
kakobrekla: i could get a custom adapter machined here if id be in such position prolly
asciilifeform: next set of hedgehogs , i expect to machine myself.
kakobrekla: i believe i managed to acquire even more extintier things
asciilifeform: (if it blows a filter cap i can replace cap, dead northbridge - no)
asciilifeform: reminds me, i gotta get a few moare of those same tyans
kakobrekla: fuck do i know what you have
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i have the dimms b/w the sockets, so this might not fly.
asciilifeform: but that this is actually very similar shape to what i had before.
asciilifeform: i see AM2/AM3 and intel only.
asciilifeform: it is interesting, i searched for MONTHS to find a new set of socket F hs, found NONE
kakobrekla: for heatsinks i use http://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-retail/nh-d14 (ofc not with default fans)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i suspect that it is the heatsinks
kakobrekla: but then again i spin fans at 200 rpm or less
kakobrekla: i dont think i get much resonances
nubbins`: yeah, as soon as i said, i figured that much muck wouldn't fly
asciilifeform: i would love to buy a case that is just 200kg of copper hedgehog. ☟︎
nubbins`: given that i don't have a turkey-sized gpu
asciilifeform: i really got the 'thermaltake' on account of the bottom-mount ps
asciilifeform: i suppose everyone is expected to ssd now.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i am not a shrink, cannot catalogue every possible delusion
pete_dushenski: this is how i imagine thinking works in reddit heads, at least
kakobrekla: for case i use 'fractal design r4' which looks surprisingly similar to your pick
asciilifeform: i have the fucker standing on fist-sized sorbothane legs, too
kakobrekla: im spinning rust free - i have a few 'hp microservers' for that running in another room
asciilifeform: i threw out 2, replaced with ssd for the cost of their weight in plutonium, i suppose now have to do other 2 ?!!
asciilifeform: holy FUCK kakobrekla i have 100% 'silentwings' fans, NEW CASE, WITH ACOUSTIC FOAM, and STILL get resonances.
asciilifeform: but i will point out that there are not enough koi, or even sharks, on the planet3, to feed the ugly anglo chix to.
asciilifeform: also i notice that jp, like ar, does not manufacture ugly chix in any appreciable qty. at all.
pete_dushenski: "Every Venetian I spoke to, Jew and gentile alike, had expressed deep pessimism about the city’s future." << sounds about right
mircea_popescu: i think the "slippery when wet" thing is much needed instruction for otaku.
mircea_popescu: " 1]To whomever is now going to say "it's server fault, deedbot should output GPG signed material with proper mimetype like application/pgp-signature". I can only recommend frontal lobotomy by robot that fetches its instructions with wget." << i lolled.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1429640 << fwiw i even enjoy giving pitches in person ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 21:30:24; asciilifeform: i suggest that the craft of producing mircea_popescu henceforth be referred to as momotronics.
asciilifeform: but all i had was being me.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't take this failure to be more informative than it is. the technology never entered into discussion, it failed on economic grounds.
mircea_popescu: just the fact that i have toi make an entry in my phonebook is $$$.
mircea_popescu: this is a large part of the problem. there's a hidden barrier to entry here, that is the "cost to enter wot". ie, as a manager of x item, i MAY consider dealing wioth nobody. but not over anything.
asciilifeform: and also recall that i'm a nobody with nothing. i dont;' even have the money to make 10k one month and then nothing for 3.
mircea_popescu: not to say it is your fault, tho. but i can see why it didn't sell, needn't any conspiracy to explain it.
mircea_popescu: i can see why it didn't sell.
asciilifeform: and yeah i recall
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you forget that in a previous lifetime i made a lot of money out of insepcting and changing production workflow.
asciilifeform: and reverse any proprietary hardware they have that i did not have when i wrote it.
mircea_popescu: ok, so what i'll say is, "this machine, once deployed, would improve your workflow by about 15%, which is worth about 50k or so. it could also be had hiring techs, at a cost of about 60k a year for the machine's lifespan"
asciilifeform: again if it helps to understand this, it is not a plug-and-go thing, i would have to show up in PERSON and work out the process flow
mircea_popescu: seeing all the recent scandals with falsifications etc, i'd be much surprised if they even run the equipment anymore, so yeah.
asciilifeform: but this is what i found out.
mircea_popescu: no i mean, explain "which are bound to usgola".
asciilifeform: i went out and did intelligence
mircea_popescu: i don't care how fucking different they are. typical case will be had or the sky falls.
asciilifeform: we had 3 just in the building where i worked !
mircea_popescu: i have no idea, but that doesn't mean it's not your job to.
asciilifeform: how do i quantify this?!
mircea_popescu: i need a number.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> iirc i spammed reddit, fwiw << FWIW, after sporatic success it has taken about "3 ani experienta" before I got rather reliable results infultrating the various web traffic concentrators to gather eyes.
asciilifeform: i do ~not~ think the matter was of insufficient propaganda.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did not want to put a final gravestone on it.
asciilifeform: iirc i spammed reddit, fwiw
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 21:01:33; thestringpuller: modern alchemy? psuedoscience in a sense... But I was more referring from the psychological transition of viewing the world through the lens of alchemy vs. that of chemistry
asciilifeform: i had and still have nfi.
asciilifeform: i was half-convinced they would!
asciilifeform: my partner is not nearly as inept as i
mircea_popescu: while i am not actually saying "well that's why", do bear in mind you're a miserable closer.
asciilifeform: fwiw i pitched.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't see folks PITCHED it either.
asciilifeform: sad thing is that i can't easily demo. my outfit never afforded own tecan.
asciilifeform: now iam remembering things about lm, i had many nice things, had motion planning, could run the thing 10-20x faster thaan 'evoware' (we called it 'evilware') because mine was ~guaranteed~ not to crash, etc.
PeterL: asciilifeform this robot thing looks much like what I saw at Dow, I never used it but I had coworkers who used these things for high-throughput research, I dunno what software they used
mircea_popescu: (well really, it'd be more like "i'd like your x rebased for my tree, here it is, you see problem ?", but w/e)
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 20:46:17; funkenstein_: so when trinque asks me to regrind, perhaps I should ask him for his tree
mircea_popescu: well then i'm glad to hear.
asciilifeform: methinks i am learning.
asciilifeform: i came here to learn from him !
asciilifeform: what can i say , mircea_popescu is better arsonist than i
asciilifeform: which is what i am.
mircea_popescu: cheap way to make high iq arsonists i guess.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm sorry.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if it makes you feel better, i'd buy it for the putative chemistry lab i don't run.
asciilifeform: i busted arse to make that thing. and afaik nothing like it exists to this day.
mircea_popescu: i mean, this would be the exact textbook example of "work really hard, do something useful, be rich"
PeterL: I guess I don't see what you would do instead?
asciilifeform: they hungy up once i explained that 'no this is not a winblows app, it is not a plugin for yours, it replaces 'evoware' '
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe it. "advertising" works as well as make-up.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: believe or not, when this was new, i even blew a few hundy on... google ads
