mircea_popescu: fuck you, how about that, next person who feels the need to ask.
mircea_popescu: but... people prefer to sit on ass and wonder "what are the criteria" bla bla.
mircea_popescu: this plan to stockpile proper chips etc goes hand in hand with a republic-isp, incidentally, becauyse who else to own hardware
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the irony is that well... NOT LIKE NEWER CHIPS WILL BE BETTER
mircea_popescu: but yes, one thing the republic might consider is a stockpile of proper amd chips
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes amd gave us usable computers for a five-year plan longer than'd have been otherwise possible.
mircea_popescu: anyway this pipermail list... when i see all the shitty signatures i get nausea.
mircea_popescu: which term includes any and all tax-paying entities there.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why anyone would EVEN COSNIDER doing anything with a usg agent
mircea_popescu: not to mention there's a whole colonization of amd in the arm space.
mircea_popescu: also why the fuck does he even have mips on that list, i thought they had their own bs.
mircea_popescu: apparently brain-in-jar helps against humanity, why wouldn't it.
mircea_popescu: yeah, because we got into airgapping for lulz and lols.
mircea_popescu: jurov how many does he have ? a few hundred should come to something in dollars, is that too micropayment for bitcoin donations ?
mircea_popescu: and ejaculating on a face is closer to actual reproduction than ejaculating on sugar cubes.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the relationship between sane bitcoin source as available on trb www and "bitcoin" is THE SAME as the relation between a sane implementation of tetris and "running tetris"
mircea_popescu: incidentally BingoBoingo that email might be worth a qntrization.
mircea_popescu: "=== RISCV === While this architecture is extremely limited in performance, price, and performance per watt compared to x86, ARM, or POWER, it is also one of the only fully open source CPU architectures available outside of an FPGA. and may eventually be competitive with MIPS in terms of raw performance. Currently there are no RISCV SoCs in production, however projects such as lowRISC aim to change that:
http://www.lowrisc. mircea_popescu: basically the only actually usable thing in his list is arm
mircea_popescu: so this is an absolute defense against any and all accusations of "computer crime" for as long as the hardware involved is post 2009 intel / 2013 amd.
mircea_popescu: shinohai> I see there is no way shinohai can just donate the shares back to qntra and forget about it all. << you can prolly instruct jurov to sell them and donate proceeds to foundation say.
mircea_popescu: ;;calc (1+(1.05748966+3.43434647-2.33633804) / 8775.09816033) ** 4
mircea_popescu: in other news, Pavlichenko was later invited by Eleanor Roosevelt to tour America relating her experiences. While meeting with reporters in Washington, D.C. she was dumbfounded about the kind of questions put to her. "One reporter even criticized the length of the skirt of my uniform, saying that in America women wear shorter skirts and besides my uniform made me look fat".
mircea_popescu: mechanical turbulence in fluids ~10^8 more than electrical turbulence in conductors.
mircea_popescu: i'm all for "20 years ago", but they're fucking idiots.
mircea_popescu: hey, my own father spent what he imagined to be his golden years, at the time and after that time, doing "research" for his government on supposedly, computing, but really, holding each other's dicks like a bunch of chimps.
mircea_popescu: the only counter is that there is no such thing as too soon in the flesh. until the time one stands up from couch, just how out of shape one is will never be known.
mircea_popescu: phf you are not alone in the view that this whole thing is too soon.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nono, the use of ~~~SCIENCE~~~ will allow a collection of bureaucrats to satisfy in practice the delusional requirements of what mp "should have been"
mircea_popescu: they only seem fundamental to the hordes of spawn for which a soul couldn't be found, so they ended up consumers.
mircea_popescu: yes, could benefit from soap and electricity, but these aren't fundamental changes
mircea_popescu: i am convinced it is the best we can do, as far as the human element goes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> because without this, a computer is not an asset, but a catastrophicly limitless liability. << hey, it doesn't matter, usg will pretend to be mp and make it all good!11
mircea_popescu: truth be told our diligent efforts over the years - and by our i mean mostly not mine - exposed so many hooks for fixing and improving it's not even funny.
mircea_popescu: and something instead of bdb. but INSTEAD not alongfuckingside!
mircea_popescu: on the contrary - the more crud that can be snipped the very better.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is no good reason - for the contemplated july alternative offering
mircea_popescu: during that blank space, the jews conquered egypt and started a new dynasty, founded carthage, tyre, byblos, etc ; dominated the golden crescent and so on.
mircea_popescu: which is a funny construct, it's like ... 3k bc egypt... 2k years blank... greece and rome!!!
mircea_popescu: but these are all considerations for one millennium prior to what the europeans generally regard as "history".
mircea_popescu: anyway, linquistically if you care, old italic as well as greek, along with armenian and georgian all derive chiefly from phoenician, which is a canaanite language.
