mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875744 << do you recall that time we visited some moron running "a museum", who was going to do exactly this ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf turns out i was wrong re the rom, the rom-shaped object is actually a 1980s 'programmable event timer' thingie, am2971adc ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf i did finally turn up a high-res (enuff to read the ic labels) shot of ivory2; http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ivory2.jpg << mirrored. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://fare.tunes.org/files/pics/lispm/2003-01-19-lispm-fare.jpg << why is it always a retarded faggoty boi in all of these ?
asciilifeform: if this were a moneyed proj, i'd go straight to the electronists
asciilifeform: z80 is a much larger-featured item, so not directly applicable. 386/486 is the ticket.
asciilifeform: in a hypothetical peacetime when asciilifeform'd have free hands to do this personally, would start with a crate of less-rare contemporary 1uM die (e.g. 386) 1st
mircea_popescu: not bloody likely, physics is physics, but sometimes soft edges, "you'd gain a 20% benefit for a 1% cost" you don't see till you see it.
asciilifeform: software is a 'can write later'. the photo gotta exist 1st.
asciilifeform: there's a standard microscope for this, i had one when i used fluorescent markers in meat work
mircea_popescu: so had a strobe.
asciilifeform: tho it strikes me as a thing that oughta boost res
mircea_popescu: THEN you reconstruct the ~real~ edges of a material, to get a better resolution final pic.
mircea_popescu: you put in a violet source, take a pic. next you put in a green source, take a pic. next, yellow and red. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: (doesn't have to be stereo or live or anything. just take multiple photos ~in multiple lights~ and then have a computer diff the results, same end product)
a111: Logged on 2017-02-10 16:28 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, in a very much unrteported move, frankfurt got 300 tons of gold from new york.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 15:50 asciilifeform: http://www.seanriddle.com/sc1die.html << suggests that this is the case, the link to 'Here's a 17436x15128 pixel version (HD View on another server)' goes to some microshit site that doesn't actually load for me
a111: Logged on 2018-08-04 20:58 mircea_popescu: !!rate cnomad -10 scammer, ran off with a dime.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875700 << really, a lot cheaper to make a decapper than to make another ivory. so i rather hope he does lose interest, if he's the sort of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-04#1839459 retard. ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc he had a self-building-to-ext-hdd gentoo thing ( but naturally 0 clue as to what-next )
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 10:16 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875644 -> so wanting to be a lord while at the same time needing someone to use a whip on you already?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 20:10 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: this article is about making a company right? i'm not doing that. im just writing painstaking careful code and giving it to the world for free
a111: Logged on 2016-04-12 21:42 asciilifeform: symbolics co. sold quite a few boxes ~the only~ UI to which was x11 over the lan.
asciilifeform: ( for n00bz -- racking an actual bolix is afaik a nonstarter -- the remaining units lack not only the requisite 24/7 reliability / component life , but also any means to cleanly wash the whore between customers, the way i do with e.g rk )
asciilifeform: phf: imho the ultimate bolix caper would be to rack a coupla working clones at pizarro & rent'em out. but admittedly this is , presently, nearly as far as the moon ☟︎
asciilifeform: it's a socketed rom. if yer hands dun grow from arse, there's 0 risk of killing it
asciilifeform: ( srsly, nobody has a fiddybux TL866a and 10 minutes and can be arsed ?! )
phf: asciilifeform: that's for the logs, i just thought it was a particularly goofy picture
phf: there's a few photos that i took, but they are somewhere in the pile
asciilifeform: there's a buncha shit-res jpg on the net, but they all have the cache daughterboard mounted, which obscures half of the card
asciilifeform was never able to find a high-res photo of ivory-3. perhaps phf has ?
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/jvkUK << photo of ivory-2 . appears to contain 1 rom, prolly no moar than a 32kB, going by the pin count.
phf: busywait, cadr particularly is full of it. and yes reliance on particular cpu timing. i suspect there's a limited amount of it, but enough to make fast emulation buggy
asciilifeform: ( there could, for instance, be instructions in the physical device that bolix never had a chance to use in os, but exist in some last-days userland proggy like ns etc )
asciilifeform: phf: tho imho ideally, we'd still get a decap of #2 after #1 is happily in a ersatz-ivory board and booting the full archaeological soft stack
phf: asciilifeform: before you agree to a decap, give me some more time to get you the docs, maybe they'll be enough to get things going. i'd hate to lose an ivory to get some pretty but useless pictures, i'd rather it fry on a breadboard in the process of directed discovery ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( none of the listed items seems to be even a 2uM, much less 1 )
asciilifeform: also that signetics is iirc a 3.5uM process. i dunno if he ever did a 1uM die
asciilifeform: http://www.seanriddle.com/sc1die.html << suggests that this is the case, the link to 'Here's a 17436x15128 pixel version (HD View on another server)' goes to some microshit site that doesn't actually load for me ☟︎☟︎
amberglint: haven't asked that yet, but he did transcribe a ROM so I guess he has higher res ones
asciilifeform: simply, they're ~priceless rembrandts, and i'd rather not send one to a d00d sight-unseen
amberglint: he did a lot of decappings, so I think he's not too bad
asciilifeform: i only got 2 ivories, they're a nonrenewable resource
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875663 << btw, ftr i was apparently wrong about this : there's a single solitary comment from the d00d on some shithub somewhere, from ~week ago. ☝︎
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875644 -> so wanting to be a lord while at the same time needing someone to use a whip on you already? ☝︎☟︎
trinque came up in a generation of kids given amphetamine salts for ^
mircea_popescu: i never heard before of some guy who CAN live independently, moving to rural shithole to not be bothered, and then having ~same to show for a year of his life as mod6. at least that dood is holding down a job and a coupla kids meanwhile. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: there can be such a thing as a naive practicing catholic, you know. what one says isn't the be all end all.
mircea_popescu: i'm starting to see a pattern here. "republic is unbiblical but i wanna be in the lordship, sloth is bad but what i do is not much, etc". you know, the principal theory as to ~why~ the catholics go to hell is specifically the trade in "indulgences", which is to say, EXACTLY that procedure ?
mircea_popescu: seems to me you've managed to work yourself into a hole.
danielpbarron: i'm not a very good manager of myself
danielpbarron: not a whole lot, shamefully
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: if it aint a mega-seekrit -- what is it that you do with most of yer time ?
mircea_popescu: not a matter of "well, when coming from out of town pizzeria is closer, whereas when going out of town trattoria is closer, so whatever, depending on how hungry i am i sit where it happens"
asciilifeform remembers old su joak. orthodox j00 kid is going to town for 1st time. asks, 'rebbe, there are many temptations in the city, what should i avoid looking at' 'waddayamean' 'well, i heard there are chix' 'what of'em?' 'well, i hear there's them strippers... good jew should not look at strippers?' 'you can look at strippers' 'there are bare cunts! really, good jew can look at cunts?!' 'yes' 'so what ~shouldn't~ a good jew look at
mircea_popescu: i don't even know it's a requirement. for that matter, it's not clear how precisely the republic would even come to notice something as ridiculously trivial as whatever religious belief (unless i suppose you end up doing dumb shit "because of it", but even then, 0 difference between "religion" and "but then i got high" or w/e).
danielpbarron: if a requirement of being a lord is that i have to call tmsr the true and only god, then i do not want to be called one
danielpbarron: it's not wrong for me to be involved, although it wouldn't be good for me to become a partner in business with people who don't believe
danielpbarron: bitcoin is still an interest of mine, and i enjoy the position. I'm very much invested in it between maintaining a node and my holdings in Eulora
mircea_popescu: a.
mircea_popescu: so i got a bunch of danielpbarron pingbacks from like 2016 for some reason (beat that, rw mail services)! among which one for http://danielpbarron.com/2016/are-you-thankful/
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 21:31 mircea_popescu: the problem with "chinese disidents" aka married-with-childrens http://trilema.com/2012/cine-se-casatoreste/ schmucks, is ~precisely~ ye olde http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-20#1687624 ; specifically, whenever they try to "start a republic", the item they start is over-inflitrated before it gets off the napkin, so to speak.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 23:14 mircea_popescu: well, on top of a world ontologically constituted as "12 men on monkey island" attempting to construct alternate world hallucinatorily constituted as "men and money teams compete for island special olympics".
mircea_popescu: so yeah, openbsd was kinda-maybe cool for even a few months, possibly. if they hadn't started taking http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875466 BEFORE the thing was even born, and giving them policy positions too! and similarily lisp, before they all went http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-18#1842812 / http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-09#1641207 ☝︎☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: in usa they even tried to start a pedo party. for roughly same type honeytrap . but pedos apparently smarter, on avg, than 'activists', didn't catch on
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 02:28 mircea_popescu vaguely recalls some "pirate party" associated dorks producing lame "oh, can't factor a key anyway" verbiage cca 2015
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:34 mircea_popescu: (other than in a discussion with the sort of imbecile typified today by hasimir, i dunno either of us gives half a shit.)
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean wtf even is a "hasimir" or w/e.
asciilifeform: dunno, i always give'em a control shot
mircea_popescu: a ok then. whatever, the raccons not worth the buckshot at this point.
mircea_popescu: there's two dead sites and a bitly link. why the fuck would you "bit.ly". unless, of course, you're nanotube, and your brain long ago ceased to work.
mircea_popescu: so of that entire line, <li> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://bit.ly/NFg1Yy">channel logs</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://otclogs.ww7.be/bitcoin-otc.today.php">channel stats</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://stats.techbnc.org/freenode/bitcoin-otc.html">channel stats 2</a></li>

grubles: i asked a question. did you not see it above?
a111: Logged on 2015-05-25 23:50 assbot: You rated user grubles on 23-Dec-2014, with a rating of -1, and supplied these additional notes: Disingenuous at best. One of the large group of everyday nitwits that wandered into Bitcoin early on enough so as to end up with a much larger momentary fortune than their limited brainpower could support. After squandering it through the usual means, they prefer to pretend their funciar stupidity is someone else's fault.. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 07:17 mircea_popescu: it's not the sort of question that you can answer for yourself in a minute.
mircea_popescu shall buy a lappy just to try trinque's thing on! ☟︎
asciilifeform: sorta how they have statute for nailing 'insider trade' if and only if ~grunt~ absconds with 'cachebleed', but for blueblood nobody gives half a fuck, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763152 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "A disclosure of information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege (or, in Scotland, to confidentiality as between client and professional legal adviser) could be maintained in legal proceedings is not a qualifying disclosure if it is made by a person to whom the information had been disclosed in the course of obtaining legal advice." << ie, your lawyer's receptionist dun count.
mircea_popescu: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/23/section/1 << amusingly, here's a snapshot of the uk's soviet pioneer statute.
asciilifeform: ( somehow 'badbios'-style odin's-own-gift-to-sec-researcher never seems to fall on the head of anybody with half a clue, but only ever milkmaid )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from cursory dig, seems like whole thing took place at a kind of trade school where they taught 'seekoority', i.e. how to install av on winblowz etc
mircea_popescu: oh this is precious. "If it were just a one-off I wouldn't mention it... but if I do notice it happening again it would be good to know what process I should follow."
asciilifeform: iirc was by (nominally) a d00d
mircea_popescu: femtards, they got time and, sadly, a smattering of resources these days.
mircea_popescu: "rabbit births" only became a thing with diderot's idiocy.
asciilifeform: 'An NCC Group graduate trainee who emailed 300 coworkers to ask for help with what she deemed to be "unusual" behaviour from her Kali Linux VM; contacted the firm’s incident response team to complain about a faulty laptop; and said the machine had been "deliberately sabotaged", has had her victimisation claim thrown out by an employment tribunal' etc
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathen lulz, mircea_popescu recall http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-27#1866809 saga ? apparently there's a philosophical child of it, this time chix, for extra spice, https://archive.is/TYVGF ☝︎
mircea_popescu: well, he was tech for the ~only exchange worth two shits, back in the early days. then that thing got subverted into aml crap, he bounced around a while, "transition phase" or w/e you'd call it, then he did the bitbet receivership and that was ~last anyone heard.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-04 21:57 davout: started training for my airline transport pilot license in december, and i'm stuck in ground school phase until may~june, until then i barely even make time to go take a shit
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 18:04 phf: asciilifeform: presumably entire portage tree pulls from https:// unless trinque also hosting a mirror of everything (i haven't looked yet)
asciilifeform: naturally they won't be present in a correct 4000ln ffaistic ecc
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 17:43 BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> will also be interesting to see if trb can sit down on trinque's libressl thing, instead of the frozen ancient openssl it currently goes with << I run a bitcoind linked against libressl 2.5.5 and so far it hasn't forked
mircea_popescu: we could also call a fox "da029c11e6b1" ; but instead we say vulpes vulpes for some reason.
mircea_popescu: and your preference is not groundless, and soon enough we'll be left with a messy patchwork of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: there's somewhere i explain the problem with small children, that they take a look at world around them, which creates a snapshot in their mind that's static, and then they fall over because they don't natively understand that just because the fulcrum's left side is up like the chair next to it is up, nevertheless, the load bearing capacity of the fulcrum is less than a percent of the chairs'.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875158 << this is rapidly becoming an (ill-specified) unsolvable problem. how the fuck is the program supposed to pick the word in the basket that "best goes with the rest of the novel" ? there's a fucking reason for naming conventions. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i got a whole stamp album fulla these.
