ben_vulpes: edivad: what kind of system are you building
trb on
that shipped without `patch`?
mircea_popescu: these dorks evaporated in
two days, and
the cavalry is coming in january ? all of
the "investors" and "Speculators" and "Experts" in bitcoin crash will have long moved on, most of
them
through multiple different "new big
thing".
mircea_popescu: the logs links on
trilema sidebar. so far
they all still fit, somehiw
mircea_popescu: "man should be able
to drag 50kg from car
to elevators"
mircea_popescu: i'm not faulting
them for it ; but
the matter remains. 100kg and 5KW/h for
the battery-powered fpga ? aww!
mircea_popescu: would be pretty funny, considering
that's
the one point
the "supremely engineered" items were never really engineered for. power draw, weight, ecological considerations of
that sort.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suppose exceptions could be found. but
take constructions (architects + actual builders). exceptions could
there also be found, but
THE OTHER WAY.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because
that's how it goes, whether
to have a caste at all comes before what kind shall it be.
mircea_popescu: certainly us doctors are as egomaniacal idiotic as all other usg-aryan groups, financial experts, lawyers, etc. however,
they are not derelict in
their actual work (unlike
the financial dorks, but like
the lawyhers)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but not
THAT internal. most people consider
themselves qualified
to operate on
that part.
mircea_popescu: (which is what makes
the jeremy irons horror film. when obgyn decides "women are monstrously malforned, need better
tools", all other obgyns know he's insane.)
mircea_popescu: veterinary
tools are not much worse for
the job
than what was found in a hospital cca 1970.
the problem with obgyn is
the hand not
the
tool.
mircea_popescu: which is
the sad point
that i am constrained
to make against my will :
there's a good fucking reason for
tivoization.
mircea_popescu: this is
the problem. don't give orc fucking
teflon
tape.
mircea_popescu: if
they didn't have access
to human
tools and
tech generally,
their stupidity would be unsustainable.
mircea_popescu: their bane is
technology. /me saw pipe screwed in backwards (for some reason pipe had been
threaded
the wrong way for
the nut). but with
the help of
teflon
tape (GAS version, btw) it only leaked a little. dripped.
mircea_popescu: andf in
the "don't do more damage
than
the shop would charge ; and don't
take longer
than it'd
take
to
take
to shop" view... god help us. 0% and leave it at
that.
mircea_popescu: i would guess < 0.01% of general pop could do
this at all.
mircea_popescu: you gotta a) read
the fucking manual
to find oil drain spot ; b) lift front on crank ; c) set a large enough recipient correctly on
the ground.
mircea_popescu: o yeah ? you
think people generally can change
their oil ?
mircea_popescu: technically
this is a good
thing, can use very long cable.
mircea_popescu: you mean, you had a boxed fg running and it produced 20GB of entropy so far and you can't detect anything more or less
than with an unboxed FG ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ir i/o is not so bad
to have. no need
to crt/print and gun anymore, just use an ir diode system.
mircea_popescu: "hey, we discover a way whereby cold equations no longer applies" "o wow. does
this way still do anything ?" "nope" "so it's directly equivalent
to not having invented anything" "yes, but we can brand
this."
mircea_popescu: dorks gotta arresthire some more, srsly now,
this is reich-level ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: aaand in other "isn't
this lulzy", Aug 04 02:21:45 * mircea_popescu has quit (Ping
timeout: 240 seconds) Aug 04 02:21:45 * Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-04 02:20 asciilifeform: 'yosys' is
that chain's verilog synth;
the whole shebang is quite dead in
the water without it.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-04 06:37 mircea_popescu: what
the shit is
this pile of batshit insane nonsense even supposed
to mean, besides "o shit,
the republic is
taking over, quick! pretend like we';re doing soemthing"

☟︎ mircea_popescu: " Our goal: smack-dab in
the middle of a public Reddit or HackerNews or
Twitter conversation, you should be able
