mircea_popescu: the sad truth of the matter is that with the current state of manufacturing, i could build my own nuke. wouldn't even take a decade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this curren state will collapse regardless. not a technical, but a policital problem. it just sucks.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, see the experiences of the various members of the tsar's fambly with artisanal bombs
mircea_popescu: well, let's ut it this way : the reason the state does not collapse in a tsunami of violence is not now nor was it ever historically that such would be physically impossible.
mircea_popescu: how do you add deuterium inside the core ? with an enema pump ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform has the hand of man enabled the disabled cores in an intel chip ?
mircea_popescu: decimation swat / town warfare teams use supressed weapons
mircea_popescu: just think, the promise of the electric car married to the promise of the fusion battery
mircea_popescu: i suppose the next logical bezzle step is a tesla-lockheed merger
mircea_popescu: it woulkd be uv and uuv anyway. higher energy better focus less scatter.
mircea_popescu: decimation you're late. the first military laser IS co2, uv.
mircea_popescu: not like military grade laser will be like in star trek
mircea_popescu: decimation if you could fire silent bullets you'd find loud ones because protocol ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> what next, laser musketry volley? <<< srsly. what's this supression fire, like laser welding ?
mircea_popescu: climbing a mountain versus diving in a septic tank sort of hard.
mircea_popescu: perhaps because asm hard is the proper sort of hard. whereas dependency hell and library cruft is the horribly bad sort of hard.
mircea_popescu: anyway, maybe their lives were harder, but 1960s programmers certainly seem happier.
mircea_popescu: i don't even think code as tight can still be made, much like you can't have a proper boot made anymore, and hardly a proper suit of clothes.
mircea_popescu: i have NEVER and I do mean NEVER saw programs as good as bacxk in the days of asm.
mircea_popescu: And the lives of programmers were hard, and the case of their end-users miserable; for, strive as the programmers might, perfection was achieved only in toy programs while in real-world systems the defect rate was nigh-intolerable. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
mircea_popescu: In the beginning there was assembler. And programming was hard. The semantic gap between how humans think about problems and what we knew how to tell computers to do was vast; our ability to manage complexity was deficient. And in the gap software defects did flourish, multiplying in direct proportion to the size of the programs we wrote.
mircea_popescu: decimation this sporadic working no working would seem to mean route.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm having this looked into, but i tell you i dun even know wtf.
mircea_popescu: and im not even sure that i can do anything about it other than write angry letters.
mircea_popescu: decimation the best i can come up with is that yes, some weakly router that is nevertheless for insane unexplainable reason priority route from the us is constantly fucked up
mircea_popescu: phin gage is a little strange. he does tons of research, some of which is useufl.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck would i see pages on a crashed server anyway.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck. the server has been up all along, the load is like 0.1 or some shit for the hour.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is proving impossible to debug, people not seeing it pls to pastebin traceroutes at the time you don't see it.
mircea_popescu: decimation: my router bounces from telia to an isp in pheomix called "cwie llc" <<< this sounds like a route hijack then. qntra is in amsterdam.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: now that's an interesting hypothesis to test: a bot lurks and tracks "shortest path" to each past message, then records when i link it as opposed to somebody else links it to me <<< actually a reconstruction of the ba logs where lines are nodes and they're given pr as per original google mechanism may be the first step towards stemming this whole bundle.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that flgiuht path thing is not nearly as indicative as it may seem to the casual observer.
