ascii_field: sometimes i wonder if folks in cn are ~actually~ batshit (mega-mines on winblows, etc) or just convincingly faking it

punkman: the stamped "bitcoin opec" document http://i.imgur.com/JUnQcue.jpg

ascii_field: but i don't imagine that i'll learn to breathe water and become kind of the ocean in a few weeks. and if mircea_popescu can do this, we should all learn from him.

ascii_field: i imagine i'd bubble a bit in calcutta as well, before going under.

mircea_popescu: i'd drown.

ascii_field: he cannot funciton in my element. or i - in his. like the fish.

ascii_field: not a category i deal with

ascii_field: he is living on $1 of rice + $xxxx of other-things-which-aren't-available-to-me-if-i-get-parachuted-into-calcutta

mircea_popescu: ascii_field seinfeld has an episode about this fundamentally female method of authentication ("i always wanted for him to drag me by the hair in this alley and stretch my anus"). elaine explains that "Cause if we're dating, what everyone saw was just a beautiful moment between two lovers"

mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall this, like i vaguely recall his being the sort that's "correct in the broad strokes but entirely out of small change" as the expression goes.

ascii_field: btw as a long-time reader of herr orlov, i can't help but notice that he spat on diesels and bragged about a seldom-used ('only in doldrumss') outboard petrol engine

ascii_field: i don't think they've invented begging yet

ascii_field: i don't think they have bitcoin on his planet yet, though

punkman: "In addition to calling for resignations, Lieu asked OPM to show some remorse. “One word I haven’t heard is sorry,” Lieu said. “When is OPM going to apologize to federal employees?”"

ascii_field: the only fact ~i~ know is that the network hash sum does not even begin to be accounted for by even the most liberal estimate of miner machines publicly sold to date

ascii_field: me, how the fuck would i know

ascii_field: considering that to me, the ~whole fucking point~ of fpga is to get a computer which ~i and only i~ define

assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 15:56:45; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1165942 << i doubt you can look through a clear lid with a microscope and get much valuae. it'd have to be a pretty expensive lid.

shinohai: I want to take a picture of myself wearing it and post it to reddit to see how many downvotes I get :D

shinohai: Thank you menahem, I bookmarked. My world is not complete without a mircea popescu cult t-shirt.

ascii_field: i will remind readers that reversing fpga is not impossible, and has been done. but takes ~20 years and chip is usually unobtainable after 5-10 (sooner if vendor learns that you're doing this)

thestringpuller: i don't see anything in the logs.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1165942 << i doubt you can look through a clear lid with a microscope and get much valuae. it'd have to be a pretty expensive lid. ☝︎☟︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: i am not for a moment arguing against the closed turdness approach ddram is wrapped in

mircea_popescu: i forgot that part.

mircea_popescu: i didn't stomp all over their stupid faces those were different faces of different anon derps. this time it'll work!!!

mircea_popescu: i thought we were the only ones left that actually believe there is a place for scrip like usd & the rest of the fiats, doing roughly the job of movie tickets and coffee coupons

midnightmagic: Notice the lack of foot arches. I thought that was a sign of a lack of exercise.

jurov: not my type, i'm more for bears

mircea_popescu: something like that. prolly phrased by original author more in the vein of "i jus dun care!11"

midnightmagic: "I can take a good sole-caning"?

mircea_popescu: i know girly doing that number'd pretty much look hot regardless. but the straight me thinks it's rather disqualifying for a man.

mircea_popescu: let jurov never say i don't have anything in this vein.

asciilifeform: i distinctly recall when mircea_popescu wrote this important truth

mircea_popescu: and i mean, tits and all.

mircea_popescu: where's that cleaning toilets pic i had...

mircea_popescu: i just saw "love me or live me" last night. story of fucking america retold as being being built by a sucker labouring atop a dry cunt.

mats: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/15/06/11/1616215/ubers-rise-in-china-may-be-counterfeit << what i was referencing earlier

assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 13:34:30; asciilifeform: given as presently i can't even afford to not have a day job which eats 98% of time & energy

asciilifeform: as it is, i fully expect to envy the '16yo-ish female in kabul

asciilifeform: at any rate, if the thread were about things that are ~likely to~ happen to me, vs 'what i'd like', it'd be much shorter and even more boring.

asciilifeform: idk if i'll pay. what'll i do if the kid refuses to pull? negrate him as i swing ?

mircea_popescu: i remember some guy paying a lot of money for that sort of thing

asciilifeform: the only thing i might be asked is if i'd like to be shot in the head or chest

mircea_popescu: "oh in order to put up with what my mother puts up with i will want blabla"

asciilifeform: i have lived in cities. in crappy soviet dwellings, with little room to move, even. in order to do this again voluntarily i would want something very valuable in return. such as not having to work for a living ever.

mircea_popescu: i wonder if aiming to be a spherical chicken makes one transfat ?

asciilifeform: answer: i can sit in the american jail now!

asciilifeform: why not i move to beijing straight to the jail?

mircea_popescu: because if we're doing the entire "here's some random shit i came up with, do planning for it", might as well.

asciilifeform: jurov: i can do without hard vacuum (hard enough to get it here)

mircea_popescu: ahhh, another 2. at this rate i'll be rich!

funkenstein_: also i can look for 10^-4 torr vacuum providers

asciilifeform: if i used 'uber' for commute, could easily sum to cost of a nice car every month...

asciilifeform: (wrote hate mail, they 'gave it back' as shop credit. as if i have much desire for this service now)

asciilifeform: i filled a knapsack with books and didn't feel like trudging home in the 99% humidity

asciilifeform: i suspect that the iPnohe only checks that a chump has been 'picked up', but not delivered

asciilifeform: mats: which is why i suspect that a new scam was invented

asciilifeform: mats: glad that you mentioned this. because i did an experiment, and forgot to speak of it. actually tried to ride 'uber.' (did it once before, at an airport, and it sorta worked.) but this time the car approached, clearly saw me, and ... kept going. inside was a gaggle of college 'bros' all holding iPnohes.

mats: i sure hope they win their appeal

asciilifeform: and, more to the point, why am i there at all? who asked for me there, paid ?

asciilifeform: can i get real (read: ru or identical) chocolate there? at what cost/gram ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: where in shenzhen can i live without ~hearing smelling~ the locals?

jurov: i don need no fucking employment ☟︎

asciilifeform: that was hard enough here in usa where i had 20+ yrs to make meatwot

jurov: that when i move there, will provide some basic information how to function

jurov: also, i don't get how anyone in this age can *not* have some foreign acquaintances that one can be sure to not throw him under the bus ☟︎

asciilifeform: srsly i would buy a tourist ticket if i could be guaranteed a front seat

asciilifeform: mats: at least they have public executions. i, for instance, am living in a tyrannical empire that doesn't even have fucking public executions to watch. picture that.

mats: i am not looking forward to the culture shock

asciilifeform: (and before you say 'i am willing to live like mexican', note that for ~you personally~ it will cost 50x what it does for the native-born orc. because he has the extended family, willing to live seven-to-a-room with him without murder, and you don't.)

assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 09:29:31; mats: the problem i'm faced with now is where to flee

asciilifeform: 'There is a discussion on FAA meetings about encrypting the ADS-B signal. By angering the authorities, we will only speed up this process.' << holy fuck the idiocy. i have idea! let's give usg brass cars without license plates ! that way no one will ~ever~ know where they are.

asciilifeform: you would have us believe that the idiot cult of technowankerous 'homework doers' will deliver salvation re: the 'ic in your kitchen' problem. and i will say that this is not a harmless misconception.

assbot: Logged on 07-02-2015 02:47:35; mircea_popescu: trinque i think the concern is to be approached on two lines, empirically. line 1) what % of queries constitute powerplays and b) what % of queries result in interesting education that a noob reading logs would benefit from.

midnightmagic: That's nice. I'm going to stop doing your homework for you, now.

midnightmagic: I'm not doing any homework. I was just curious. People can get curious about things without actually sitting there for 12 months building prototypes.

asciilifeform: (last i saw, the 'cad' did not even do anything so basic as calculating bond strain energies. because atoms == legos, apparently.)

midnightmagic: turbomolecular pumps on ebay seem to range from $1,000 to $3,500. I have no idea which ones would be suitable for the vacuum chamber in a mother m-rap

asciilifeform: midnightmagic: do you know kanzure ? the two of you would get on very well, i think. he's another fella who likes 'doing homework.' wrote a 'nano cad', even. (because surely - somehow - this puts us closer to actually rearranging atoms with bare hands, right? or so goes the theory)

asciilifeform: i, for one, only have a mechanical vacuum pump. it clatters, spits oil. would have looked at home in edison's house. i know that i will not be making so much as a triode valve with this pump. ☟︎

asciilifeform: midnightmagic: so far all i see is 'homework'

asciilifeform: and often there are interesting hidden costs. for instance, i am somewhat limited in what surplus junk i can use on account of lacking 3-phase mains power ☟︎

asciilifeform: midnightmagic: i'm an aficionado of university surplus junk myself. and will point out that, even without having to pay for shipping (absolute killer, but luckily i live near one) the actual price you pay, once you factor in the cost of (sometimes unobtainable) spare parts to replace broken/missing items - is often not far from 'car'

midnightmagic: gmax pointed me at one on ebay not so long ago.. it was pretty inexpensive, certainly less than I'd pay for a used car, at any rate.

asciilifeform: (i am assuming that you know what kind of pump - multiple pumps, in practice - is involved)

asciilifeform: midnightmagic: would be neat. where do i go to get a 10^-4-torr vacuum pump for less than the cost of new car ?

asciilifeform: but so far all i see is... the apparatus described in linked www.

asciilifeform: i would like, for example, to fabricate simple circuits in copper (a la pcb) with electron beam

asciilifeform: i sure don't

asciilifeform: i notice that all of the illustrations on http://reprap.org/wiki/MetalicaRap are 3d renderings ...

asciilifeform: midnightmagic: i don't do 'patience', i do actual understanding of physical reality vs snake oil.

asciilifeform: i will not say with confidence that no one will ~ever~ make meaningful semiconductors in their kitchen or in the jungle. but i WILL say with confidence that no one will make meaningful semiconductors in their kitchen ~using things that have been made in today's kitchens.~

asciilifeform: given as presently i can't even afford to not have a day job which eats 98% of time & energy ☟︎

asciilifeform: jurov: i can 'decide' all i want' 'spirit is willing but flesh is weak' in this case. unless you'd like to contribute $100B for a fab and an army

kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2014#867175 < http://opencores.com/project,ddr2_sdram what am i missing here ? ☝︎☟︎

funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1165736 <-- I'm not sure about Shanghai but in Beijing they'll need to compete with massive population of russian girls ☝︎

copypaste: i suppose they don't care so much about the uh
