nubbins`: lel it is
a "gaming" mobo, so...
nubbins`: kakobrekla i'd imagine
a proper op-amp from the start would be cheaper than adding the socket
kakobrekla: i could get
a custom adapter machined here if id be in such position prolly
nubbins`: would recognize from
a picture, but can't recall any details
nubbins`: given that i don't have
a turkey-sized gpu
kakobrekla: im spinning rust free - i have
a few 'hp microservers' for that running in another room
pete_dushenski: jp just figured out 'organic food' centuries ago. it's
a newer concept to anglos.

a pete_dushenski problem
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "only
a cynical man would call what these people have lives...this is not how man was supposed to live."
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 23:09:57; mircea_popescu: so importantly - understand that it's in no sense
a matter of 'stop being you, be somebody else'. anyone else would confront the same exact problem,, which is to say that this is not able to stand on its own. would work superbly as an add-on product of
a company offering this kinbd of thing that can x-sell it.

☟︎ 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.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you forget that in
a previous lifetime i made
a lot of money out of insepcting and changing production workflow.
mircea_popescu: "the cost for its deployment includes me spending
a month fucking up yoru shit, which is about 10k or so, and our fee, which is 2500
a year"
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"
mircea_popescu: it is, much like the "average voter", "median consumer" etc,
a fiction, made by some methods.
mircea_popescu: looky :
a "typical case" is
a convention, allowing management to make judgements.

☟︎ 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
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't expect to come out of your bosses' cake, on
a day's notice, would you.
mircea_popescu: while i am not actually saying "well that's why", do bear in mind you're
a miserable closer.
mircea_popescu: seems to me
a 50% speed gain in high thoroughput research would be worth money.
mircea_popescu: my experience, on the contrary - whenever mp as much as vaguely disliked
a world, that world caught on fire by itself and cut off its own head.
mircea_popescu: "be less poor" suddenly
a lot bitter than previously contemplated, huh ?
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 20:40:03; funkenstein_: it seems perhaps
a checkpoint might be in order
mircea_popescu: because closed is always
a competition of empires, and the chinese got 10x more cash.
mircea_popescu: only buy open hardware. if hardware is considered for buying, add the cost of reversing and opening it to the bill, to make
a proper comparison.
mircea_popescu:
a girl i own, i can order to plug into whatever cock i choose.
a girl you borrow from her parents - only with prior written permission from owner.
PeterL: I guess I would say the one that owns
a building
mircea_popescu: incidentally, maybe i have
a better approach re the other thread. do you suppose PeterL that if you had to take
a job with one of two labs, absolutely the same offer in every respect, you'd take the job with the lab that rents space in random buildings or with the lab that owns its own building ?
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 20:29:36; funkenstein_: they pick and choose what TX to include in
a block they mine as always
assbot: Give computers the vote. They're cheaper than women, even! on Trilema -

PeterL: is hiring
a plumber an abdication of duty?
PeterL: do you fix your pipes yourself or do you hire
a plumber?
mircea_popescu:
a discussion of whether x is an abdication or not can not be decided on the basis of "is it cheaper or faster". because of fucking course it would be, that's what abdication means.
PeterL: <mircea_popescu> PeterL and if you tell the head manager that this is
a miserable abdication from his job - which is to assure you the stuff will work no matter what, he says ? << If the equipment does not work the way it is supposed to, we speak to our contact and he fixes it, I don't see any abdication of job by manager here?
mircea_popescu: being an us style "independent" has about as much to do with independence as being
a us style "liberal" has to do with liberalism ; or as much as the 6th grader's idea of "
a lothario" has to do with fucking, partying and generally the dyonyssian world.
mircea_popescu: 10% failure rate is based on the concept that
a)most will be artisans, ie, gardeners and b) periodic war and disease anyway.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 20:09:20; trinque: if you bothered to breed well
a 90% failure rate is deplorable
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 20:05:42; asciilifeform: trinque: everything that is ~actually worth reading~ would fit in
a large room.

a node, because, symptomatically, in the windows definition of running code (hey, click items till it works) you are. but the sense of running code contemplated for bitcoin is negative, not positive, and you don't know how to check for that nor do you specifically care.
mircea_popescu: PeterL and if you tell the head manager that this is
a miserable abdication from his job - which is to assure you the stuff will work no matter what, he says ?
mircea_popescu: and of course i'd prolly have
a wailing chorus of stakeholder idiots, whom i'd tell the usual get fucked.
