asciilifeform: (re: that film: no, i am not personally acquainted with the fella who made the film.)
asciilifeform: (or don't wait, if you download the stock version and build the 'sheevaplug' thing - it gives almost usable kernel)
asciilifeform: trinque: the absolute best way to do crossdev, imho, is 1) have a gentoo box and use 'crossdev' emerge tool which magically builds the toolchains correctly 2) wait for buildroot
asciilifeform thought only in usa was cash spat on this way
asciilifeform: they think 'rich' means they walk in and spend 10**4 times the money and walk out with consumer box, but same overall dynamic
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: normally it is presented as 'poor ru schmucks haven't learned how to be correctly rich yet'
asciilifeform: to explain, such a machine in the rest of the world is built custom - seat with the skin of favourite deceased pet jaguar, etc.
asciilifeform: speaking of 'luxury' and orcish misunderstanding of the concept, iirc ru has the world's only aston martin showroom where -folks actually buy and drive off-
asciilifeform: (which is 1/10th to 1/5th the cost of the Real Deal)
asciilifeform: and especially not if they had used actual ab initio fab instead of 'hard copy fpga'
asciilifeform: nubbins`: if they merely collected and sat on the money, there could have been no question of covering fab costs
asciilifeform: nubbins`: interesting observation is that the 'friedcat algorithm' only worked because miners can be let secretly to sit and mine, amplifying the proceeds of that scam
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the interesting thing is that if you confine the proof requirements to the consensus circuit, problem becomes actually manageable
asciilifeform: for what << for spacecraft, but don't have the needed citation handy
asciilifeform: it is the only pill (other than 'fits in head') against boojums like intel's fpu bug
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was actually done
asciilifeform: anyone have tlp's rolex article handy ?
asciilifeform: Chillum: reliable computing is somewhat more than parity calculations. ('voting' protocols, heterogeneous cpus calculating same problem, etc)
asciilifeform: nubbins`: see how this is a somewhat different market from 'mercedes'
asciilifeform: there -was- a time when 5mn meant that you get tandem, cosmicray-proof, etc.
asciilifeform: i think there are some fascinating surprises waiting for buyers of surplus 'boeing', 'lockheed', etc.
asciilifeform: it's either consumer 50 or else spend 5mn. exactly like wines. << mircea_popescu probably did not intend this double meaning, but it is EXACTLY like wines at this point. because the 5mn computer you can get today is not actually any but a cosmetic 'golden toilet' improvement over the 50.
asciilifeform: 'plug the correct end of a funnel.' (TM) (al schwartz)
asciilifeform: mats: if you treat 'rowhammering' as a statistical phenomenon, instead of allowing the enemy to induce arbitrary memory access patterns on the machine, it is considerably easier to deal with.
