asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i find it interesting how usaschwitz inmates will do literally ~any~ dope, even the expensive obummercare-'prescription' crapola, just to take a few hour's 'vacation' from 'how world works'(tm)(r)
mircea_popescu: i think the list is actually just about right : lexapro, cymbalta, ssri antidepressants, gabapentin, kratom, and finally, with your permission last on the list, afghanistan.
asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo . i'd rather not waste precious cargo mass on items we already have, etc
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: GPG me the part number. I'd still like to look. If I find one the value of knowing where it came from would be far greater than the battery.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've never seen'em sold anywhere other than china.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma include new ones in the cargo, it's a 20 $ part
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm comparing 40 an acre to the horizontal apartment complexes locally here
asciilifeform: i suspect that mircea_popescu would find meiji era jp an interesting subj. there, the dukes actually ~did~ march 'house armies' on the newly-pantsuited capital.
mircea_popescu: this is not strictly true. if i were duke in 1810 -- my house army'd been besieging london.
mircea_popescu: they advanced such a great step towards good time i couldn't begin to tell you.
mircea_popescu: "This is a war Budget. It is for raising money to wage implacable warfare against poverty and squalidness. I cannot help hoping and believing that before this generation has passed away, we shall have advanced a great step towards that good time, when poverty, and the wretchedness and human degradation which always follows in its camp, will be as remote to the people of this country as the wolves which once infested its fores
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:05 kanzure: that's a reasonable request. i'll make catalog.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-12 16:44 asciilifeform: even on asciilifeform's home planet, good chunk of marriages were 'soft-arranged' -- i.e. 'comrade colonel, you have a bachelor son, i have a ripe daughter' 'comrade lt colonel, let's box'em in a room, wainot'
asciilifeform: i had 1 of these. ( 3yo a.: 'grandfather, what do soldiers do after the war' him:'die' )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-18#1888188 << oh hey , was this same grandfather as 'i miss stalin, we were younger then' ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i don't even need to declassify anything to make it plainly evident shannon kent wasted her youth on java.
mircea_popescu: nah, i gave example, it was certainly there at crecy etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect the english last had 'shared meaning', if ever, was before the normals lowered'em
mircea_popescu: i suspect the problem's very much that the 2020s are not the 1980s, naught else.
BingoBoingo: Look at Pelosi, all the other career women are telling her to respond to everything Trump does as though a toddler is having a tantrum (i.e. ignoring him unless he 'calms down' for an impossible in this case definition of calm down). Nevermind the response is not only what Trump wants, it is what the hayseeds and others supporting Trump want.
mircea_popescu: i can't believe their process still includes email.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: once we actually have vacant rk again, i'ma absolutely institute mechanical life tests for'em.
diana_coman: I suppose it might be worth adding some automated daily check at least connects? gives time of day/whatever? for unused units
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'd luvv to establish an exact time of death for the thing. presently unknown tho.
diana_coman: I guess it's hard to tell whether it wasn't rotten at that time already; for some reason (what?!) worse than the others aka not just the drive
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i think diana_coman's q is re the time it was stood up with new drive in aug. do you recall any peculiarity re rk-c at end of that ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'm all ears, even re the oddest hypothesis anybody can think of.
diana_coman: yes, I'm scratching here at anything at all; not much I can see otherwise
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma order 3 rk's.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-08 16:58 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma test new kernel today, then tomorrow will ask BingoBoingo to power down rk-c and put disk in dulap to i can snap new master img, then it will go into service ( and can reimage BingoBoingo also ) .
mircea_popescu: i still don't see the problem, 1 in 6 failure rate ? was the one closest to the suspected hotbox from prev week ?
asciilifeform: i'd quite like to 'ha, i'ma throw rk, and use $x', but i haven't any lead on a usable $x.
asciilifeform: the problem with the whole thing being 'disposable', i.e. housed on 3chips (the cpu, ethernet, and ram, seem to be the only separate crystals on the pcb) , is that nuffin useful can be squeezed from the dud.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hence my earlier observation. we still gotta build 2nd plant, but it'll have to be constructed slightly differently, initially i was gonna stack'em
mircea_popescu: well, i'm not sure what your decision tree is like, exactly. but proceeding logically : 1) it can not be the case cpu is sad on rk ; 2) it is not shown that deffect is organic rather than nsatronic ; 3) the selling point of rk is cheapness/disposability. you can afford to throw these away, unlike an adult server board+deckings.
asciilifeform: given as the other 5 units of pilot plant are still standing, i suspect straight chinese rot, rather than bomb.
asciilifeform: i picked rk orig. not even because of price, but specifically cuz it contains, on the pcb itself, nuffin (known to be) writeable, all of state is loaded from sd and afterwards usb. so i dun expect to be able to tell much from autopsy of the unit, when i get it here
asciilifeform: on reset , thing failed to revv up to pingability at all. so i asked for the uart snake.
asciilifeform: i asked him to go there when i sat down to make accts for the uy1 people on the thing, and found that : 'ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer'
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu or anybody else can think of other interesting tests to conduct on this sad box, i'm all ears.
asciilifeform: hence why i initially said 'hey, BingoBoingo , loox like another dead stick..'
asciilifeform: i.e. it gets through 1) mask rom 2) load of kernel from sd
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect zapped , somehow, usb controller
asciilifeform: mod6: i thought you were asking re forced air
asciilifeform: near as i can tell, thing ends up fetching bitrotted blox from disk (ssd stix) and dies, unsurprisingly, at ~random points in first few min of life
asciilifeform: near as i can tell, thing ends up fetching bitrotted blox from disk (ssd stix) and dies, unsurprisingly, at ~rando
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma post lulzdump for the pleasure of mircea_popescu et al in a min.
asciilifeform: i suspect it's straight chinesium
asciilifeform: i'ma have BingoBoingo send me the retired board via snailmails, possibly we find sumething interesting about it
mircea_popescu: i have ~never~ heard of a cpu that ~genuinely~ fandango'd instructions. each and EVERY single one of the ~scant few~ dozen cases was stuxnet-like
asciilifeform: i'ma post a few sample dumps in a min
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i strongly suspect that yer right, and the monkeys went 'eh, orcs, what's 1, what's another'
mircea_popescu: am i oversensitive or are the dorks actually trying to pass the guy for guler, on the grounds that "what do ustards know" ?
mircea_popescu: hmmm... i thought i mentioned the fellow.
mod6: I guess I should say, that I'm not sure exactly. But we should do a bunch of anaysis to see what would be the best play for capital allocation.
mod6: I agree about the re-thinking of the 32 new boards.
asciilifeform: mod6: i'ma ship new rk + a few spares to BingoBoingo ( who appears to have solved his orc customs problems ) , but the find is concerning in re the wisdom of installing 9000 of'em
mod6: Ah. Hmm. I'll read up in #piz
mod6: Would be awesome if Pizzaro could sell iron that can run cuntoo + ffa + fg + trb out of the gate [ + others too, i.e. eulora, etc ]
mircea_popescu: https://metapedia.org/ << in other lulz, i had nfi item even existed. anyone know what "traditional enemies" even means there ?!
mircea_popescu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=+%22mircea+popescu%22&t=ffsb&iax=images&ia=images << in other lulz, i fucking love the results. a buncha dorks and a buncha sluts, what more can you ask for.
asciilifeform: i'ma 'drive' it till it 'makes sound'.
mod6: no, i mean, what's super weird is that it hasn't crashed since we started really looking into it.
asciilifeform: i can't picture why, even, unless these people baked it from ecl or sumthing
asciilifeform: i have one that avgs 80C here
hanbot: * shinohai has quit (Quit: No, I do not belong to The Most Delusional Republic) << the amusing part being that it'd seem that's the only republic you -do- belong to.
shinohai: lmao forgot I had put that there when kakobrekla kept asking why I wasn't over in tmdr xD
mircea_popescu: * shinohai has quit (Quit: No, I do not belong to The Most Delusional Republic)
shinohai: I was afk, not sure what mircea_popescu means.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in reverse dirty-old-man-isms, i just bid nude girly dress and go buy me cookies.
mircea_popescu: indeed. i believe, factual.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ftr, the samsung ssds are pretty good : i have identical card here, with identical drives, in 3.5yrs of 24/7 operation it corrected a misparitied block ~once~
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm thinking to switch off the raid auto-walk ( http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-16#1887553 ) currently, and set it going manually during a maintenance window that we'll announce after folx are seated on the rk. ☝︎
asciilifeform: hey last i recall e.g. karzai's $100m monthly 'hercules' crate was openly aired , d00d still on throne
a111: Logged on 2015-09-03 01:38 asciilifeform: e.g. there is no 'i don't care if the chicken ate gmo corn but please no antibiotic' shop
a111: Logged on 2016-02-15 17:58 asciilifeform: specifically how there is no place in usa where one can 'i will pay double for non-monsanto but i don't give a fuck about 'gmo' and i sure as fuck don't want to see homeopathic crud in the shop'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-16#1887877 << this is very much the case ; muchly reminiscent re your point of "why can't i buy just the sanity of vegan" or somesuch. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-01-16 17:40 trinque: I take these to be the people that shouldn't have houses having been given too much, not *their* decay. they're doing better than they've ever been.
trinque: man I hate people that let materials accumulate like that. oh, that's my palette collection, and here's a single tile, just in case
Mocky: instead of an offer for this one prospect I got "one more interview, next week" but still imo looks probable
trinque: in related cardboardization, the girl and I were looking into live vaccines for hypothetical spawn. apparently they're being phased out by the derps that be.
asciilifeform: trinque: i was in BingoBoingostan when a 'starbux' opened its first day of biz. queue was iirc kilometre
trinque: I hear hipsters are doing this in detroit these days, not even all getting killed by the natives

BingoBoingo: <trinque> I wager the uruguayan suburbs are favela-tier << Favelas with a lot of concrete
asciilifeform: i.e. old brick.
asciilifeform: trinque: tbf i did not go to the favela. but inside the city walls, the worst dwellings were approx baltimore-type.
trinque: I wager the uruguayan suburbs are favela-tier
asciilifeform: ( substantial, as i understand, 'diy project', to make it livable. but some people -- did )

a111: Logged on 2019-01-16 17:04 asciilifeform: shinohai: iirc they already build this : for 'supermax' prison. but i expect the tech will 'spread to konsoomer', yes
asciilifeform: i'ma leave the item in, tho, if mircea_popescu thinks it's a + idea

a111: Logged on 2019-01-16 16:48 hanbot: <asciilifeform> i'm surprised they dun build from ~that~ yet. << i met a chick from the architecture dept at the nat'l uni here whose professed goal was to see all places with native bamboo build with it exclusively. possibly the spiders get her first, but otherwise, "coming soon"...
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-16#1887728 << one of the http://trilema.com/2016/pili/#selection-87.0-87.345 pilis i guess ? ☝︎
