mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051328 << i entertain no illusion of having invented it, that's fo sho. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'danger, 1,000,000 ohms!' << i forget, what's the resistence of 1mm of air ? like 1mn was it ?
trinque: where you at? I wont smoke but I could walk
ben_vulpes: then i will as well
trinque: ben_vulpes: I'm about to pass out mang
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i see where i went wrong vis-a-vis ibid/idem now.
ben_vulpes: if slow, i guess fine.
ben_vulpes: i really have no interest in optimized for min storage or max whatever the fuck
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: for some reason i thought you were still speaking re: the blockchain!
ben_vulpes: <decimation> ben_vulpes: it strikes me that a relational db is a bit 'heavy' for storing the blockchain tree << i want to say "select * from outputs where output.spent_transaction is null;"
ben_vulpes: i want data i can query with a 'sane' language
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: should i be concerned with these pure performance issues?
trinque: decimation: I don't believe that unstr... yeah that
ben_vulpes: i'll have no truck with unstructured languages that don't support querying
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: lol i didn't even say why
trinque: I think (but am less familiar with) reiserfs has the same sort of metadata querying
ben_vulpes: fuckuppy.jpg << asciilifeform ah i've found your problem they put the resistors on backwards on one of the boards
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: When you grow more shiva hands may I suggest a hobby? Photograph pine trees. Contemplate which one when converted to stake best matches each shitgnomism.
NewLiberty: I was an rdb wonk but my expertise is a decade or so stale.
decimation: I think the 'waldo' device is a great idea for building small prototypes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i will
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> incidentally, i wonder if one could make a filesystem specifically for blockchain storage. << i definately wanna discuss this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they sound very nice you know ? i'd send them the boards an' detail.
asciilifeform: And now I don't have them.
asciilifeform: 'I will ship them back, but I needed working sample units -this week-.
ben_vulpes: nor* i
asciilifeform: I will have our reels of 470 Ohm resistors verified first thing in the morning. I'd like to send you a return label in the morning to send the boards back, so that we can review the work on the boards and verify and replace any parts which are not testing at their required values. Additionally, this step would help us to determine what has gone wrong in the assembly and why your components are not operating within specificati
ben_vulpes: lol no i
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform either i missed it or forgot it!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: filesystem specifically for blockchain storage << i spoke of this, right here in #b-a
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i grow more and more tempted every day to use postgres as a filesystem.
decimation: yeah I don't have enough database design experience to comment on that
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i wonder if one could make a filesystem specifically for blockchain storage.
ben_vulpes: i want it in a database, though.
ben_vulpes: (it'll be done in two weeks, i swear)
decimation: actually I think the new 'chip n pin' implementation for credit cards in the us is rf-id based
ben_vulpes: trinque's already helped with it, but i'm looking for more eyes
ben_vulpes: do any of you know anything about relational schema design? i'm derping on a thing and would like to run an early early early schema draft by someone who actually understands relational dbs.
thestringpuller: as long as I don't have to sit between two fat people
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what l33t deelz did you find? the best i'm offered is ~1.3k rt
ben_vulpes: decimation: by 'condom' i assume you mean faraday cage?
thestringpuller: decimation: i thought all passports had RFID chips in them
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 02:41:13; decimation: which implies their turdware manged your design I suspec
ben_vulpes: i have the *passport*
ben_vulpes: that part was unnecessary, and risks putting one in the 'extra scrutiny' bin as i see it.
ben_vulpes: decimation: i'm aware.
decimation: ben_vulpes: I think you can pay to expedite
ben_vulpes: i'll admit to shitting more than a single brix over its issuance, given my presence here and name change froofraw.
ben_vulpes: so i just received my new passport
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there is a reason why i am building own conveyor
cazalla: "I will need the support of everyone while inside, and I would appreciate it so much. Even $10 would go along way. There are a few days to send me money."
asciilifeform: and for all i know the rest of the board also has no correspondence whatsoever to marked values
asciilifeform: i have no idea where they got them
ben_vulpes: during my days in the wafer biz the shop for whom i slaved had a high-res testing machine that could test arbitrary board designs
asciilifeform: but i had no climate-controlled space where it could fit.
asciilifeform: i even had opportunity to buy one
decimation: I'm surprised the pick n place doesn't auto test passives actually
danielpbarron: i guess there's an obvious reason as to why they can't do whatever tests you are doing before they ship the things
asciilifeform: as in, i get a head on a stake if doesn't work
asciilifeform: i would have gladly paid 4x more if guaranteed working.
ben_vulpes: it's like i tell the boys
asciilifeform: i have not even bothered to look at the rest of it
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i meant. you know "come to an understanding" if fuck ups occur?
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> btw... the icecream in this country... it can not be described. << so i expect: helado primo, vino tinto, y carne gargantua.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: if i could offer anyone anything, would not be having muppet problems
asciilifeform: and how the fuck do i prove whose fault
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'll tell you how
decimation: which implies their turdware manged your design I suspec ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha i'll bring ice cream to confIII
mircea_popescu: i suspect there are more experienced aerospace minds here. how about you do it instead ?
mircea_popescu: i'm half tempted to do a "basics of satellites" like the hollywood and the corn one. however...
mircea_popescu: you're already talking half a ton of gear here. i didn't hear of aerospace material going for $200 / kg yet.
asciilifeform: i haven't the faintest clue
mircea_popescu: btw re computers and looms thread a coupla months back, i somehow forgot to mention the jacquard loom specifically.
decimation: I'm dubious
decimation: I wonder if they have heavy automation or cheap labor?
asciilifeform: actually i've yet to plug them in...
decimation: cool. well, I'm glad it worked out for you. I suspect that this is probably being subsidized by bezzlars
asciilifeform: "we did most of the job" << these folks even offer a 'test' service but i can't really make use of it for these parts
asciilifeform: decimation: wow they even placed your shield? neat << it's a part, like the others, with footprint & centroid coordinates, etc. i'd be rather pissed if it were missing
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 00:30:52; ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes essentially, it means they have not an inkling of how to code. they're importing code as data. << i would like to hear the seasoned lispers take on this
cazalla: ben_vulpes, nothing untoward, his name just popped up in a trailer for a video and i searched logs here but few hits
ben_vulpes: cazalla: i hm what when?
cazalla: ben_vulpes, ah you mentioned him in the logs so i thought otherwise
mircea_popescu: 8 the whole world has been trusting their secure communications to this impenetrable morass that calls itself the "OpenSSL" project. I bet that the doctors that work on that shitshow can not prescribe anything useful either!"
mircea_popescu: "After messing around with this code for about a month I decided to write this up for the tubes in the hope that I can save some souls. I have come to the conclusion that OpenSSL is equivalent to monkeys throwing feces at the wall. It is, bar none, the worst library I have ever worked with. I can not believe that the internet is running on such a ridiculous complex and gratuitously stupid piece of code. Since circa 199
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes essentially, it means they have not an inkling of how to code. they're importing code as data. << i would like to hear the seasoned lispers take on this ☟︎
ben_vulpes: cazalla: i don't know a transisto, no.
danielpbarron: i walked right up to the guy with the wand, he waved it around and let me through
danielpbarron: only to barely glance what was inside once open? << i confidently walked through security at the new york marathon (post boston bombing) without having my backpack checked; had a stainless steel 64 oz bottle inside
jurov: i scrolled into the middle, saw fotnote number 1216 O.o
cazalla: it's not that i mind that they mentioned other people part of a possible syndicate with silvey (which i didn't include in article as no proof of this anyway) but least they could do is admit that yeah, we followed it back from the avatar after having read about it on qntra
mircea_popescu: i think it sounds like a first best ever news site
davout: Adlai: so it should really be "boss makes a dollar while I make a dime, and a turd"
Adlai: boss makes a dollar while i make a dime // that's why i shit on company time
mircea_popescu: i fucking managed to find salt pickles.
trinque: so I guess I'm always shitting on the company dime these days
trinque: I self employ now, but the joke always was among friends to shit on the company dime
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 22:28:01; cazalla: trinque, ya know, i didn't buy toilet paper for many years (use to take 1 or 2 rolls home from work each day)
mircea_popescu: i been waitin' for this...
