mircea_popescu: you can take curl from my cold dead hands or how was it
mircea_popescu: next you're gonna want ring buffers or who knows what heresy

mircea_popescu: no i meant - if something being more vapor than elbrus were possible
mircea_popescu: i have no problem giving food and water to wandering females.
mircea_popescu: the caek produced the conclusion that there is nothing useful here - the heuristic value of a concept of "size" in evaluating the matter wholly comes from the evaluation that had been already pre-baked in the "size".
mircea_popescu: bingoBoingo> "Re: recent node drop, someone is using up connection slots with fake SPV nodes; node count sites may be << o look at that, derpland discovers blackholing.
mircea_popescu: sorta like "size in the mind of the strategist". clean, elite units loom large. complex, large elucubrations are barely noted.
mircea_popescu: so a small elite unit was capable of projecting a long shadow whereas a churned to death rifle unit from a siege emplacement was a mere dot.
mircea_popescu: something intuitively comprehensible as more akin the german-pioneered "tank shadow" item. whereby a unit was represented as a blob function of both its strength/battle readiness and it's mobility.
mircea_popescu: much to my chagrin, neither do i. it is at best an experience-bound heuristic atm.
mircea_popescu: note in any case that while the logic is correct, " on the expectation that size and competency correlate", it is NOT the case that what is meant by size is what'd intuitively appear.
mircea_popescu: for instance, my own sizeometer judges apple as relatively small.
mircea_popescu: still.. a useful judgement of "size" in this particular sense is very hard to come by.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the one neutral construction here would be that the larger the item under discussion, the more likely you are to credit ability and the less likely to credit happenstance, on the expectation that size and competency correlate.
mircea_popescu: you COULD, for the same money, put these in backwards.
mircea_popescu: when imperial instrument succeeded in keeping enemies at bay, you credited the exquisite intrinsic superiority of imperial instrument.
mircea_popescu: when republican instrument succeeded in keeping enemies at bay, you credited lack of interest on the part of the enemies.
mircea_popescu: no, this has absolutely nothing to do with any finding out. it is not a matter of fact.
mircea_popescu: could just as well be presented the other way around, you know ? if you're going to assign good/bad arbitrarily, might as well allign the needle backwards.
mircea_popescu: why don't you say "clearly nobody gives a shit about apple or its products - so few vulnerabilities they can almost chase them all down"
mircea_popescu: i never heard of retardation being an effectual preemptor of infection.
mircea_popescu: encapsulation is a dream. you know that. what exactly activates your memory hole to think that apple "done it" ? usg perfume ? what is it ?
mircea_popescu: this does not bode well for apple's market value, if true.
mircea_popescu: " lazy general usian population / anti-entrepreneurial spirited usian elite will concede the point ot them."
mircea_popescu: "saudi woman can drive a car - by driving a model car in the garage!!1"
mircea_popescu: that is unrelated to our discussion, why do you keep reintroducing it "?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if "samsung sells not only to crapple", thus therefore the normal chip can be had.
mircea_popescu: so in other words, the results of this discussion are - that apple isn't there yet, but it'd love to pretend like it is, and lazy general usian population / anti-entrepreneurial spirited usian elite will concede the point ot them.
mircea_popescu: "Apple A8 APL1011 SoC + SK Hynix RAM as denoted by the markings H9CKNNN8KTMRWR-NTH (we presume it is 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM, the same as in the iPhone 6 Plus) ; Qualcomm MDM9625M LTE Modem ; Skyworks 77802-23 Low Band LTE PAD ; Avago A8020 High Band PAD ; Avago A8010 Ultra High Band PA + FBARs ; Skyworks 77803-20 Mid Band LTE PAD ; InvenSense MP67B 6-axis Gyroscope and Accelerometer Combo"
mircea_popescu: next time babe goes into the bath with her phone in hand, ima look into the damned thing i guess.
mircea_popescu: jurov seems like a great incentive to take the crap out altogether.
mircea_popescu: speaking of nintendo, i recall a thriving mod chip industree just about the time the bulgarians were taking over cd pressing.
mircea_popescu: PeterL a) phone is free with carrier bill is it not ? huge incentive - get out of 3k in payments ; b) usually specialist shops do it.
mircea_popescu: jurov it's traditionally hoiw rthis insanity is defeated, dunno
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i admittedly have no clue, but i'd have expected the golden route is to simply replace the blessed chip of blessings with normal item.
mircea_popescu: i shall now be quiet while alf, who has never set foot in california, proceeds to explain to people who live there how the place is.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: because it occurs to me - if you really care about alf-considerations re kbd rf, use an ipad.
