asciilifeform: eh, knew before. but nao mouth also remembers
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje : asciilifeform + pet still not recovered from doing this in '17!1111 nao errything tasteslikeshit
asciilifeform wonders what % of various items marketed in usa with claimed 'french', actually from canada
asciilifeform: lol picture if they somehow had to print the troof on the package. '10% mass brutto : coffee imported from zimbabwe ; 90% -- sawdust sweepings from sawmill in montgomery, alabama' etc
asciilifeform: price , for edible cheese , tends to 100 - 200 $ / kg.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: near as i can tell , ~nobody in north amer knows how to make edible soft cheese. hard -- some (at exorbitant price) yes
asciilifeform: must be condition of nato membership or sumsuch
asciilifeform: for some reason they dun sell the riga sprat in ro, i cannot fathom why; but only weird german knockoff
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: funnily enuff, when i was in ro bought sample of erry tin claiming to contain sprat. then brought home and sampled. not 1 compares to the gost standard riga item.
asciilifeform reliably ends up replicating 'nazi uboat' wherever he lives. complete with bulkheads
asciilifeform: leaving aside the matter where asciilifeform's meat-training skill is approx on par with his mig pilotage skill -- mp_en_viaje would bust gut laffing if he knew how uniquely poor asciilifeform is set up for subj. e.g. as it is , i dun even have physical sq. metrage for a hypothetical #3 crew.
asciilifeform: when mp_en_viaje wrote that he trained these to do useful work, i believe. but it is a world-class feat, like kuklachev's famous housecat circus. i dunno that it's been replicated.
asciilifeform: ( and even these, ~1 per ~100 or so cocks )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can't speak for erry fortress of us.academitardia, but in mine, the ~only chix in the engineering hall were 'dark meat' in hijab
asciilifeform: PeterL: at one time (long before i found out about mp's uni ad flyers) i put up some ads there; guess what result ? ( buncha grad students begging to have their homework done , and offering such laffably small bakshish that it was not worth for asciilifeform to even turn key in car )
asciilifeform: it's as if wiretap monkey were hand-carrying a floppy
asciilifeform pictures ye olde 1990s gag ad for 'linux airlines' . the 1 where 'come at 1200 hrs with cardboard panel ready to strap to arm and flap'
asciilifeform: hey if i knew how, would have full submarine crew by nao, lol
asciilifeform: ( phood also -- asciilifeform eats icecream strictly from pet's icecream-production machinery, etc )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the flip side is that one can end up like asciilifeform , i.e. with dozen tonnes of ??? , from xray cabinet to that weird wrench one uses to swap water heater coils
asciilifeform: tho this might make prop.delay calculation slightly trickier. possibly what you'd want instead is to connect only the 4 'compass' faces of 'subcube' to adjacent units.
asciilifeform: depending on how many metal layers you have , could dispense entirely with 'subcubes' and give whole thing 'flattened cube' topology.
asciilifeform: idea being, that a typical subcircuit would fit inside 1 such cube .
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-10#1907891 << thinking about this further, prolly Right Thing would be a hybrid where there's a repeating block of e.g. 32x32x32 cells connected in 'cube' (this, or even larger, would still fit on physically 2d die) arranged in n x m matrix☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: if 1 day they start broadcasting sumthing interesting, e.g. beheadings , i suppose i can run perl script on that sdr box and get 'tv' .
asciilifeform prolly to nobody's great surprise, dun have a tv , or at least not the usual kind with tuner
asciilifeform: for all i know, they serve up penguin flippers nao
asciilifeform: PeterL: believe or not , i dun think i've seen a mcd ad since i stopped riding the trains erryday
asciilifeform: simple enuff tech, that it actually begins to seem 'boring', which makes it auto-interesting to asciilifeform ..
asciilifeform: ( granted it's a 10min chalkboard 'newtonian' 'sim' )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: as a matter of fact i did. how do you suppose i knew what beam cone to use, lol
asciilifeform: unlike the idjit heterogeneous fpga sold today, this item'd be a snap to simulate.
asciilifeform: i expect we'll want to simulate it, before anyone thinks of baking.
asciilifeform: the '80s-style 2d tile already gives you, e.g., simple means to bake arbitrarily-wide alu. for instance.
asciilifeform: but i was thinking moar along the lines of the simplest device that'd be of practical use, rather than 'futurisms'.
asciilifeform: xilinx incidentally has already confessed to resorting to 'cubism'/layered dies, to meet their claimed cell counts.
asciilifeform: the 'nanometer' densities have piss-poor yield, and this is how it is papered over.
asciilifeform: ( i suspect mp_en_viaje knew this already, but even intel et al, 'cheat', when you buy a pentium-whatever with 'n cores', it really has 24 or whatnot, and only n working units , the others lasered out )☟︎
