mircea_popescu: anywya. my solid state is dusty. i dun recall what all
this was.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
technically speaking,
thermalizing neutrons may
take
them
to visible spectrum. but
this wouldn't count would it.
mircea_popescu: ;;google material
that neutrons excite, emits photons on deexcitement
mircea_popescu: (in my mind
the foremost role of
this place is exactly - begging for unconventional wunderwaffen)
mircea_popescu: just for
the public relations embarassment of publicising
this fact.
mircea_popescu: anyway, let it be said for
the record
that if anyone wants
to move here and do
the job, and we can keep costs within sanity, i'd definitely considering making a plant and exporting
the product freely
mircea_popescu: you fill
the underside with gas at pressure so exact same density as fiber.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you use plastic and adjust
temp correspondingly.
mircea_popescu: phf what do you keep doing
to
these women
that
they keep kicking you out every
three weeks.
phf: I
think ! conflicts with deedbot
though
mircea_popescu: i dunno,
this being unknown unknown. but as an example :
take hard porous material (say, metallic carbide), cut into
thin slice, heat
to 3k, pour melted glas on
top, let some of it find its way
through necessarily open pores (ceramic is
thin), select from
the results usable fibers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're
thinking "every sperm is sacred" style.
think al schwarz "i really dun care if i waste 99% of
the glass" style.
mircea_popescu: there seems
to be no use made of it. i was
tempted
to make
this into a qntra piece, but...

the commonly-available scintillating plastic blocks are nearly useless for rng ?) << essentially, quantum antenna.
mircea_popescu: so depending on how you figure,
there's 1.55 bad moduli per
thousand ; of which 0.11 are outright factorable,
the rest mostly bad exponents.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> jurov now has
the (enviable?) privilege of determining
the likelihood
that
the call will be exercised, and adjusting his reserves accordingly. << somethinglikethat.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> mod6:
the baked-in presumption of webtardism is almost insulting << it is insulting, not
to us
though.
think about it :
the crab has pincers because in its environment
THAT WORKS ; and so does "GET /blog/blog-config.php~".
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway. certainly good candidate for s.nsa product list,
to be sold anonymously for btc.

the commonly-available scintillating plastic blocks are nearly useless for rng ?) << essentially, quantum antenna.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> (and happily detect, e.g., neutron flux) << it undermines peace you see. for some definitions of peace which reduces
to "usg makes all
the war"
ben_vulpes: jurov now has
the (enviable?) privilege of determining
the likelihood
that
the call will be exercised, and adjusting his reserves accordingly.
ben_vulpes: but
this is all kind of moot, because at
the end of
the day, jurov is simply on
the hook for princessnell's shares, should someone with her key ever come along
to claim
them.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-30 23:47 hanbot: <jurov> and re:holding s.qntr your concerns are misplaced. No one expressly forbade me
to flip/short/margin/whrtever
them,
then
there was gracious donation from princessnell who lost her key cand could not
think of any way how
to prove her identity otherwise, etc... << err, if "she" lost her key, how'd she prove it was her
that lost it?
mod6: btw,
this snow crash book is pretty good. about 1/2 way
through...
mod6: someone is knockin on all
the doors alf
a111: Logged on 2016-05-01 02:16 mircea_popescu: anyway. item described reduces
to SUBSONIC microphone. which is a major difference.
mircea_popescu: anyway. item described reduces
to SUBSONIC microphone. which is a major difference.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i posit
that
the mesh vibrator
thing is ~=
throwing dice.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-01 00:57 mircea_popescu:
the result will be some sort of noise.
mod6: hey
that's neat asciilifeform
mod6: no idea
that it had any sortof rad level higher
than background.
thx Mr. P.!
mod6: wow, reading on
this now....
mircea_popescu: you can also buy a g-m counter,
they're not
terribly expensive, lay it on some ceramic
tile or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: well, you
take a mouse apart, and stick a bunch of layers of
tight netting in between
the light and
the detector element.
mod6: 6 layer mosquito net is good enough defraction? or how's
that work?
mircea_popescu: listen, you don't specifically need radioactive decay. you could do something as simple as running a laser bean
through six layers of mosquito net.
mod6: err, i was as
thinking 56, but hell i dunn
mod6: is
there some sortof radioactive decay
thing
that you've see or used
that is worth
the money?
mod6: we've discussed a lot of
things in here.. have we
talked about anything
that you can say isn't a
total pile of shit as far as a physical random number generator?
mod6: glad
to see phuctor back
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> by now
the phuctor rss is actually a major reason
to watch
this chan. i have nfi how one could be "in crypto/compsec/sysadmin" and NOT want
to see
the key holes in real
time. <<
the congressional record is reason enough; but with broadcasted ass fuckings, all
the more reason indeed Sir.
mod6: <+adlai> mod6: and i say
this with greatest regard for alf, but i will probably get more "12step" mileage out of your
T-shirt (of
the hair variety, sadly, but
trimmer
than orgmode!)
than
trb and phuctor, combined << wut? you lost me
there amigo.
hanbot: i wouldn't be at all surprised if w/e
tranquil pools of
the republic are rippled with social engineering attempts
