kanzure: all questions
to ##hplusroadmap
thanks bye
mircea_popescu: i
thought
the alt-tmsr you're
trying
to build was being discussed rather
than your
typing speed.
kanzure: words per minute. it's funny because i'm
the fastest.
kanzure: what gets
to qualify as a corn achievement anyway?
mircea_popescu: no ; but so far
the story here seems
to be
that
the crowning achievement of a decade's effort is one item
that happened a coupla weeks ago and you don't care about.
kanzure: are you one of
those mouthbreathing micro managers
kanzure: well last update i got is
that we're still
testing it, maybe he hasn't configured shopify what a shame
kanzure: re:
the electroporator, it's a purchasable kit somewhere
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:51 kanzure: i
thin
there are >1 kw laser diodes
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:27 kanzure: asciilifeform: what projects would you like
to see specifically? didn't like
the electroporator?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704926 << i was actually wondering about
that. how exactly does it exist ? like, could i buy one ? is
the bar of ontology here "i have a description of how it could be made" ? or "i have one in my kitchen and
there's
the lsit of how i made it" ? or "you can have one made for 20 bux, send here" ? or what ?
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 03:28 mircea_popescu: be it in school, on reddit, whatever. as a result, have deeply nfi about relatively fundamental, basic stuff, and WAY
too much familiarity with relatively irrelevant fringe extensions of minor alt-theories in obscure fields.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 14:31 asciilifeform: i can't decide if
this is more or less hilarious
than gaseous food.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 14:26 asciilifeform: 19:41 <@fenn>
the patent was
the excuse everyone used for not sharing
their homegrown plasmids
mircea_popescu: anyway, small sub is problematic.
there's
this optimal size and domain limits for mechanical items.
there's a smallest combustion engine,
there's a smallest sub and so on.
kanzure: peter madsen originally started copenhagen suborbitals, an amateur rocketry group; he is notorious for building and operating a submarine in denmark, and within
the past ~week for also murdering someone on his submarine (allegedly).
kanzure: i was
talking about fenn yes, until i started mentioning peter madsen
mircea_popescu: kanzure i
thought it was ben lipkowitz. what peter madsen ?
mircea_popescu: <@fenn> guh. so i've been
thinking about building a boat so i can just put all my stuff in
the boat and live in
the boat and sail wherever i want
to go << check
that out asciilifeform ! he may wanna go halvsies on orlol's
tub ?
mircea_popescu: to quote
that old guy in casino, "it goes against
the whole principle of
the whole
thing".
mircea_popescu: with any luck asciilifeform will print
them out. he does
that.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the bot auto archives all links put in channel.
mircea_popescu: (for
the actuarially inclined : #trilema Apr 25 11:09:37 2012 - Sep 10 11:09:37 2016 averages 12.80 wpl ; henceforth 16.40 wpl.
mircea_popescu: in fairness 12 is not
terrible anyway. avg line < 6 words is a great heuristic for "collection of monkeys and idiots"
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 20:21 phf is mildly curious is mp is doing his "once i found a
thing, i read
the whole archive"
thing on 5gb or whatever it is of
their log..
mircea_popescu: which ius why your logs are full of "one sentence in five lines,
three words
to
the line" myspacetardations ; whereas not here.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a very large portion of why
the forum has such large snr is
the reference system. it is not only
the first level advantage, of reference. it has massive second order effects, such as it gets people
to organzie
their
thoughts for it.
kanzure: more embarrassingly,
the data used
to be public
kanzure: i haven't. just
the graphs (that was one-off).
kanzure: each conversation is documented with lots of
tags and other data
trinque: lemme get
together some food
then sure will.
BingoBoingo: trinque: What is
this bayou system, explain in a Qntra submission on how fake
the fake news coverage of
this rain drop pidder padder is.
BingoBoingo: trinque: "Reparations Ops" are
that
thing
the ubran folk do in Baltimore and
the cops did
trinque: houston meanwhile's fine; for all
the "ohmygurd unprecedented" in
the pantsuit media,
the bayou system worked *flawlessly*
BingoBoingo: Trinque isn't washing away for
the same reason I didn't wash away
this spring or winter of 2015. White priviledge.
BingoBoingo: IRL
the rain girl's name is monique. She don't really care about her BF and half her baby dadies are in Louisiana's Angola penitentiary.
BingoBoingo wondering if nostalgia looting drive would overcome, "WTF we in
Texas" reality
mircea_popescu: this would be a good story you know, "the rain girl".
take a super hot chick and cast her in a film about how wherever she goes it floods. badly.
kanzure: trinque: mighty big of you,
thanks.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Even with
Texas, Houston is urban. Has urban populations.
trinque: I've got some decent pictures of
the flooding
trinque: BingoBoingo: yeah, couple of levees were going
to pop; couple did afaik
BingoBoingo: trinque: How's
the weather? I heard
the Army Corps of engineers dumped reservoir water into your flood waters
trinque: !!unrate kanzure guess I'll see where
this goes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, it's news for a change. And by crossing 24 hour mark DIY Bio is a
thing nao.
mircea_popescu: <@fenn> why is
there no "hardware liberation front"
that hacks peoples computers for driver documentation? << 2014.
BingoBoingo: carved by C02 lazer from obsidian or something like
that
kanzure: the keyboard sucks anyway,
there's like >10 ms delay between keypress recognition
kanzure: why can't i
type urls right anymore
mircea_popescu: in other words :
there's no safe assumptions in biology provided by biology, but only by physics. because selection will actually cover anything.
mircea_popescu: these are mostly faeces dwellers, have
to shoot spores out of
the way so animals still eat
them.
mircea_popescu: < kanzure> what's
the fastest microcritter and how fast would
the
travel have
to be
to keep up (including opencv delays)? << some spore shooting organisms do crazy shit like 20m/s speeds reached within a fraction of a second /
the first milimeter of
travel.

thanks
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 22:53 mircea_popescu: nah. ends up with butch arms, who wants
that.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah,
that's from using arm powered saw. Chainsaw implies 2-stroke powerplant
mircea_popescu: what's he doing
these days ? wants
to be part of macivory cutup efforts ?
BingoBoingo: Eh, just assign it
to a girl. "learn
to chainsaw, report on
the experience"
BingoBoingo: Chainsaw makes coarse enough sawdust
to not fear explosion at sane collected amounts
BingoBoingo: What
tree dropping limbs around me has glue?
BingoBoingo: Ah fine, I'll start keeping
the sawdust/bar oil slurry
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Vintage newspaper, who's buying
the new ones
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and randomly : if you like
to barbecue (good for you) do me a favour and buy yourself a bottle of 98% alcohol
to use instead of whatever petrochem crap you use for a starter, either
that horrid plastic brick
thing or else cancerliquid.
tyvm. << Aluminum "chimney" and newspaper ftw
phf: i was half expecting
to find an ivory
there ^
mircea_popescu: dood did an early bfl cutup
too. kanzure do you know him ?
shinohai: mircea_popescu: I use olive oil
to lite briquettes ..... always seems
to work 1000% better
mircea_popescu: phf it's
the bologna system
that fucked it. angela
tard about as relevant as
the captain of
the
titanic.
phf: judging by his output of workshops and performances (as opposed
to cool hacks and circuits) i'm pretty sure he's just sitting on nodick grants at
this point. what happened
to all his kind in merkle europe
mircea_popescu: and randomly : if you like
to barbecue (good for you) do me a favour and buy yourself a bottle of 98% alcohol
