decimation: asciilifeform: http://lambda-diode.com/opinion/ecc-memory-2 < " Nevertheless, this means that when you buy a computer, you are playing "DIMM" (and motherboard) roulette . You have something like one chance in three to ten of getting a computer that will experience memory errors at the frightening frequencies (one every few days) that I talked about but attributed to cosmic rays, and that AMD talks about in their whitepaper . "
decimation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-04-2015#1116847 < I have a small collection of weimar paper ☝︎

mircea_popescu: which is technically a step below on the literary scale. i await with bated breath the next step underwater.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i will say for the record that all this "typficiation" bullshit, from the ntjx to the mti to everything else is ~strictly~ the result of lazy writing.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i can vouch for the fact that the classification's nonsensical by the plain observation that i'm all over the fucking map.

assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 15:32:11; mircea_popescu: at any rate, THIS is why i ask people "well, can you do it on a cpanel box" well before.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-04-2015#1115893 << "so, how's his english?"

mircea_popescu: guy's name is actually alp arslan, upon research. i misremembered.
williamdunne: I'm using it to mine bitcoin in iceland
ben_vulpes: i'd like one just like it.
jurov: oh and I forgot this gem: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83011
jurov: hahaha i got this idea you know
jurov: also unrelated: today was btrfs day (drive with few subvolumes times tens of snapshots filled, i have embarked on some cleanup)
mircea_popescu: i'm really not enough of an expert in the field to be all that confident.
ascii_field: ok i'll bite:
mircea_popescu: i should prolly have one made, come to think about it.
ascii_field: last i recall, he was turned out of usa
mircea_popescu: and now, for contrast, i give you shamir.
mircea_popescu: i also break keyboards.
mircea_popescu: i did that, too.
mircea_popescu: i fully intent to ejaculate down the cut throat of every single female involved.
mircea_popescu: by the time i'm done, it's time to start butchering the powers that used to be.
mircea_popescu: actually, hopefully we end up in prison, like the early soviet leadership. i'm gonna write a dictionary and a history of the world.
mircea_popescu: in short : those who do are dull. "i do not wish to think about these things, i have better stuff to do!!1". those who don't are insane. but who's to notice ? they themselves can't, the others can't be bothered. so... imperceptibly insane.
mircea_popescu: if i were younger and more bored (really, less involved with actual things) i might consider rewriting the history of the world from the only sane perspective : as the endless "interplay" between two types of people : the sane, and the imperceptibly mentally ill.
mircea_popescu: so, I. a bunch of militarily powerful, intellectually naive westerners made an army to go beat up the muslims and take jerusalem.
ascii_field: i no longer have to queue at 'dmv' either
jurov: if i imported it on my bosy, what are they to do?
jurov: i have long time ago won an ipod mini from ibm. ofc they sent it by post and it was clear case for customs how much such ipod costs and asked a tax
ascii_field: i still don't understand why molestation in the post but not in the airport
ascii_field: as far as i'm concerned, historically, ebay is just this gizmo that shaves a zero off the price of the costliest things i buy. so i was never moved to care whether it is run by hitler or fueled with baby seal juice etc. ☟︎
ascii_field: i certainly do
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it works FROM mongolia. << I've had to use my USian powers to ask sellers questions potential buyers could not ask because they were outside USia
ascii_field: i even bought items from ru, they came in wooden crates
ascii_field: http://www.loper-os.org/vintage/paralleleye/eye.html << example of item i bought on ebay. where the fuck else is it even physically possible to get one of these? sotheby's? it took 5+ yrs of searching, too ☟︎
mod6: i think the only thing I've ever gotten off ebay was an UltraSPARC II box
ascii_field: virtually all of my tools, incidentally, come from ebay and for most of my life i could not have obtained them anywhere else.
ascii_field: there is not sufficient 'mass' there for the kind of things i buy.
ascii_field: but, for example, ebay may well become the only practical source for amd cpu where i live, once amd finally sinks
mircea_popescu: it all flows from the whole "we can't ~private~ message if we don't have a private relationship" thing. da fuck would i be doing on "online marketplace", dunno anyone there.
mircea_popescu: which is why from my point of view the whole thing is dross. i don't buy the stuff you're talking about and why wouldn't i want to be in a shop.
mircea_popescu: i can see it.
ascii_field: incidentally, this is why i hoard hardware - because supply chain is so hit-and-miss
ascii_field: more or less a total monopoly with respect to what i use it for.
mircea_popescu: i can see it.
trinque: this pressuposes that you want everyone at the table, which I don't.
trinque: this design-by-condescension thing isn't something I get behind; that "the people" can't understand a WoT... who cares
WolfGoethe: my bros r working on such a project and I have really been thinking about it
WolfGoethe: should give folks the option to verify if they really want to for trust's sake etc.. i am sure pro traders won't mind
WolfGoethe: i stay anon
WolfGoethe: not really. i do it pretty anon right now... as opposed to coinbase and circle who know everything about me, other traders don;t care
