kakobrekla: mircea_popescu tbh could be just some bull.
asciilifeform: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesium_clock
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can synch time on a non-networked server using a GPS/GLONASS/Beidou-1 receiver
jurov: mircea_popescu, ur timewarp enginez are misaligned ^^^
Namworld: [16:06] <mircea_popescu> i need someone to code me a mmorpg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: trust me, I know
benkay: mircea_popescu GPG identity management services will eclipse the engineering payroll? o.O please correct my interpretation of what you said on the other side of that link
asciilifeform: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AJulius_Edgar_Lilienfeld
asciilifeform: benkay: one can trivially build an STM out of junkyard parts: http://www.e-basteln.de/index_m.htm
asciilifeform: ion beam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_beam_deposition) is ever so slightly more doable, I suspect.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do you own a chip fab? does it fit in your house? why, or why not? using the term "printing" for photomask fabrication is disingenuous.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you want to go the whole hog, dispense with cartridges. fire nails or ball bearings, with injected gasoline for the propellant.
asciilifeform: if you don't need many shots, even this works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather_cannon
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: look up the temperature of the inside of a barrel (of the smallest pistol) after one shot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, sintering. even in the USSR, they had it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: done, yes. consider aerogel. economically, no.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you can produce a polymer which reliably stays in one piece in the form of a rifled barrel, you can become a far, far richer man than you already are.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: find me a polymer which can be used to produce a barrel reliably firing modern calibers. I know people who will pay very serious moneys for such.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it may help to know that the focus on the AR is solely because of a weird quirk of U.S. law
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no surprise here. population explosion, catastrophe, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if someone found a way to "fix" the atrociously-inefficient RuBisCO enzyme, you could feed a family on what you can grow in a flower vase.
cads: I may _need_ a gantry, but I couldn't pay more than $800 for it, and this would likely be an insult.
kakobrekla: lol mircea_popescu
cads: the only twitter people I actually care to follow are dead authors - @kurt_vonnegut, mostly
cads: mircea_popescu: I have the same issue - I followed a bunch of people because they said something cool once or twice about category theory, haskell, or 3d printing, and the rest is all stuff about how their cat is awesome
cads: mircea_popescu: if they were following you, you could make a game of offending them so greatly they unfollow you (and it would be fairly easy to analyze who unfollowed you, and what triggered it, lol)
cads: mircea_popescu: they're in your feed? or following you?
benkay: mircea_popescu: i think this might work as well: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/96/pwnedk.jpg/?sa=0
cads: mircea_popescu: I share mostly because from time to time people hear my story, and ask me about how they can get clean
cads: mircea_popescu: I don't mind talking about my substance problem - I'm amazed and embarrased - I kicked speed and heroin to the curb back in 2007, but I thought pot and booze were fine. It's shameful that those brought me lower than anything else has. It's... refreshing to finally be in a spot where I can say _no_ drug is _ever_ going to be a good
zebedee_: mircea_popescu: What languages do you speak?
cads: mircea_popescu, I think you've inspired me to put a beginning of a story on my (currently nearly empty) blog.
Chaaang-Noi: zebedee_ im not in a bad way but i could buy some thai baht, you in thailand?
zebedee_: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7046/6855106703_844f08ffbd_z.jpg I've had shibari lessons from this dude.
mircea_popescu: zebedee_ pix ?
cads: mircea_popescu: haha, you may be on to something
cads: to her credit, her area was in the statistics of neuronal bursting in biological neural networks, and for some god awful reason, basic logic courses at our university do _not_ adequately introduce foundational issues such as ordinals or even set theory as an axiomatic topic
cads: mircea_popescu: now wouldn't that have been a sight? two stoned college math students, disproving ZFC
cads: nd C_k to C_k', and for some reason just wasn't getting that _forall_ C_k there is an x_k, and that even any C_k' that she could concoct would also have its own fatal x_k'.
cads: x_k is easy to construct for any possible C_k
cads: yep, suppose that C_k : N -> R is a counting of the real numbers, then there exists a number x_k such that x_k is not in the image of C_k
cads: mircea_popescu: yeah, his name is shawn, and they're pretty perfect for each other - each as stubborn as the day is long
cads: the _only_ argument I ever 'won', that girl was stubborn
