The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: AHA, until late 1990's
that was US gameshow maximum prize!
Then inflation
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> superficially it seems like omfg lotta money ; but not so bad. people can afford
to make eg icecube
trays
that retail for 3 bux ie cost a quarter each. how many of
those sell ? 10k if you're lucky. << /me read as "lotto money"
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform goes 'wtf,
THIS crackpottery of mine - you lot find interesting, but
the stubborn boojum
that keeps 'p' from happening, not interesting somehow ' << Everyone has strong opinions on materials
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> run of
the mill pantsuit idiocy, but

todos se llaman Mircea Popescu. ¿Sabes?" << LOLOLOLOL
mircea_popescu: which fits in SOME heads, liek galois' in 1800s or
the fermat
thing recently.
mircea_popescu: so
then if joe claims
the "Streamlined" rsa fits in his head, what do you do ?
mircea_popescu: (ftr, what
teh lordship usually catcalls as your "Goalpost sliding" is really your most carnal aspect. you sound JUST like a woman when you do it.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so how do you redefine "winning
the race" ? have
the drivers recite
the engine parts afterwards, disqualify all errors ?
mircea_popescu: i know i was. ie, it was not directly evident
to me
that mining as originally designed has
this weakness.
mircea_popescu: point being, until and unless
the process is
thoroughly and well understood, we'll keep being blindsided by "mining is a bug" bugs.
mircea_popescu: technically you're right --
the change fgrom satoshi's prototype mining
to
today's item comes exactly from "young cocks"
trying
to get laid.
mircea_popescu: sounds a lot like "your house is fine mr p, for as long as you hold on
to
this here bearing beam"
mircea_popescu: then injection came about, and
they scrapped
the old designs
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding EVERYONE
there had
the practical, earn equivalent of 5 phds in mech eng.
mircea_popescu: but
the process is interestring,
they kept adding shit
to
the old engine
to "make it better". which it did, at
the cost of becoming unmaintainable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform engine work
the interesting part, but sure.
mircea_popescu: ok, quick summary :
tech pre-injectors was carburators. engines "optimized for racing" got slowly more complex over
time.
then injection became feasible, and
they simplified. now
they've recomplexified again.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the sort of culture of
the 70s/80s of which "need for speed" franchise is a sad bastardization in
the ustardian hot
topic sense ?
mircea_popescu: btw, you have any exposure
to
the racing cars social millieu ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno how many people you will have
to shoot
to keep
them from
taking your general-purpose p-based rsa and writing a narrower, "works for rsa only" faster program.
mircea_popescu: "badly built house walls fall because people let
them ; and when
the "stop" letting
them by starting propping
them up,
they stop falling"
mircea_popescu: the point re why
the fuck does everything have
to degrate stupidly is what's complicated about
this.
