mircea_popescu: it won't work, for many reasons, but they are desperate so reaching out for stevejobian straws.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how familiar you are with ipad/android on one hand, and steam and derivatives on the other ; but amd's ploy is plainly to make a hardware-sum-of-these.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which kind of gaming a) uses gpu silicon b) tolerates 100ms+ wire delay ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you think this because you don't know gaming.
asciilifeform: and b) would put amd on the leading edge of advanced usgtronics of the Fyootoor, at last

The technology is aimed at such segments as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), remote workstations, cloud gaming and cloud computing." << is cloud gaming a thing now ? i thought it was all ipad gaming.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-02-2016#1397765 << if you crunch the simple arithmetic re: propagation delays, it reveals that one of two things: a) whole thing is a scam, not actually intended to happen in physical reality b) collectivized, 'kolhoz' of gaming processor will be installed on street corner router cabinets, one per 100 houses or so, this will go great with ownership of actual computer being Officially forb ☝︎
mircea_popescu: how is the world today!
asciilifeform: being on the interchangeable-part end of fungibility sucks, newz at 11
BingoBoingo: I thank the battery protruding from the back for that.

asciilifeform: where you end up with the keyboard parallel to and behind the screen
asciilifeform: nono, the other way
BingoBoingo: It goes out to near 180 flat
asciilifeform: or was it one of those things that folds 180 degree
BingoBoingo: Turns out... occasions I'd want to do that instead of imagine doing that are rare.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and go and try turning it into vertical orientation, looks like shit soup << AMD thinkpadish was acquired for acceptable vertical quality. Imagined myself holding it like a book for ebook reading.

assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 17:23:51; ascii_field: gernika: for the record, i once tried to get 'blue collar' work, and failed. turned away, 'overqualified, you'll leave as soon as you can'

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-02-2016#1397691 << fpga fabric. as i described maybe 1,001 times. ☝︎☟︎

BingoBoingo: Well more core makes sense on 1 level, places to put other shit. It's what buying opteron fabric by the yard would be based on
BingoBoingo: If going 2008 vintage might as well make sure you get ECC and x64 that works with everything on the board
BingoBoingo: You know AMD chips overclock too.
pete_d_out: BingoBoingo that's exactly moore's problem
pete_d_out imagines unplugging 220v stove to run p4 beastputer
BingoBoingo: pete_d_out: 5gHz overclocks aren't that new
pete_d_out: BingoBoingo that'd be pretty neat
pete_d_out: fuck, i'd totally run a 10 ghz pentium. not like i pay for leccy. ☟︎
pete_d_out: speaking of power consumption and moore's law, i hadn't realised that intel had claimed that the ~pentium 4~ would reach 10 ghz, nor that they actually manufactured the p4 at 3.8 ghz... in 2008. the only reason higher power outputs weren't produced en masse was that, apparently, the chips were already consuming 130w at 3.8 ghz and power consumption scaled linearly from there. ☟︎
BingoBoingo waits for Bitcoin node on SSD controller chip tutorial
BingoBoingo: Gotta stamp out the latency wherever it lives
BingoBoingo: Well consider what AMD did with their first generation "Bobcat" fusion chips. Fallout 3 was a bit old when those came out, but when the Bobcats were introduce there was no other way to play fallout 3 in the same power consumption envelope.
BingoBoingo: From people who don't grok the whole network latency deal.
BingoBoingo: I dunno that customers actually want it. More a buzzword collision that attracts dumb money.
pete_d_out: as if the nonexistent demand for counterstrike on an ipad is such a market driver
BingoBoingo: Cloud gaming is how they suppose they will feed iPads 3D graphics ☟︎
pete_d_out: BingoBoingo sorta like which of medusa's heads "wins" at this point
pete_d_out: " In the latest move, AMD unveiled its FirePro S-Series GPUs that include the company's hardware-virtualization GPU architecture, Multiuser GPU (MxGPU).

BingoBoingo: If AMD can survive its debt for 5-7 years, they'll be in a pretty sweet place for competing with Intel.
pete_d_out: in other, "no you can't have nice things if you're a plebe" news : http://www.eweek.com/pc-hardware/amd-unveils-virtualized-gpus-new-quiet-chips.html
pete_d_out: “Workers are still a little discounted” in most fields, said Linda Barrington, executive director of the Institute for Compensation Studies at Cornell University’s ILR School. “Employers won’t pay what the last person in the job was paid because labor is now on sale.”" << ahh, i can taste the sweet butthurt tears of bahamas and his dream of a fully employed economy. "no one could've predicted" eh ?

assbot: Logged on 04-02-2016 21:59:36; ascii_butugychag: remember the 'desk elephant' ?
BingoBoingo: This one seems to be just about as improbably as the money on BitBet demonstrates, and I'm really liking the money I put on "Yes" before he got injured.
BingoBoingo: Well, the bet is if he lives up to the hype. Doing that for a career? Ridiculous. For 29-30 games perfectly possible if improbable as reflected by the BitBet odds
pete_d_out: in the same way and for the same reasons
pete_d_out: BingoBoingo that's not ridiculous like gavin averaging 100 btc per annum salary for the rest of his days, just as he did when vessenes scam was peaking, isn't ridiculous
pete_d_out: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-02-2016#1397706 <-- para los que non tienen una suscripcion --> https://archive.is/5QNIo ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: It's not so ridiculous. He's just gotta average a bit over two point per game for the rest of the season.
assbot: BitBet - Connor McDavid will live up to the hype :: 0.45 B (3%) on Yes, 12.72 B (97%) on No | closed 6 days 13 hours ago ... ( http://bit.ly/20NDbOo )
BingoBoingo: pete_d_out: Well McCollarbone is only on pace if he keeps up the pace set in the sample size of two games he has after returning so far.
BingoBoingo: pete_d_out: When you're authed we'll have the discussion to guide the sense of humor in the future that changes everything

pete_d_out: so catching up : mp opened a nifty contest, intel affirmed the sensibility of the current blocksize, mccollarbone is on "pace" to win the bitbet, and my qntra about technology and politics, if admittedly not about bitcoin, was a bit long-winded. did i miss anything else ?
BingoBoingo: ful that the postseason ban will reduce the harshness of any potential punishment in the future."
BingoBoingo: "The decision comes as the NCAA continues to investigate Katina Powell’s claims that she and other escorts were paid thousands of dollars and given game tickets by former basketball staffer Andre McGee in exchange for dancing for and having sex with U of L players and recruits from 2010-14. The NCAA could still levy further sanctions on U of L in addition to the self-imposed penalty, but university president James Ramsey is hope ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Now U of Illinois's Plato could run if it didn't die in 2006. Born in 1960 so 11 years older than Rubio.
BingoBoingo: Gotta be 35, so ChipTest will be old enough for the 2020 elections
BingoBoingo: punkman: Watson's not old enough. IBM's Deep Blue and Deep Though aren't quite old enough yet.
BingoBoingo: In other marginal news: Docker, employer of the late Debian Founder, has now hired the Alpine Linux founder and is moving all their images to that. Might be relevant if anyone was looking at that musl based distro
BingoBoingo: From the mines: Tinder has blocked one New Jersey 23-year-old, Robyn Gedrich, from using the app after several users reported her for spamming them with the same request: “Do you feel the bern? Please text WORK to 82623 for me. Thanks!” She sent that message to dozens of matches each day for two weeks straight.

fluffypony: danielpbarron: duh, he's quoting 1 Terry 7:38
punkman: he cites a lot of verses, but also has some kind of bible-markov-chain that says new things ☟︎
danielpbarron: >> God said Linux's Wine should replace Windows. << of course he never cites chapter and verse on any of these "God said"s
punkman: "We do not want UTF, just 8-bit characters. Somebody needs to choose new 8-bit ASCII characters for 128-255, since we do not want text graphic symbols. We want Russian, Greek or Hebrew alphabets, perhaps? ... Japan, China and Korea should switch-over to alphabets. Maybe, the United States will change to metric, out of good will."

mircea_popescu: in every jurisdiction i heard of clerical errors can be corrected by order, unless it touches to the substance. but again, canada, who knows.
mircea_popescu: bonus points to where j d rooke got so hot and bothered under the collar he originally made a ruling so broken (through disallowing appeal improperly) he had to come in with a "corrigendum", which apparently is how it works in canada.
mircea_popescu fucking loves reading all these SOPS rulings, the beatings the justice system applies to itself trying to fight reddit-level crazies is delightful. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: bonus points for the item two paragraphs supra, where the judge nigh-on admits that he tried to track down the guy and have a little behind the scenes compact with him. sadly he wasn't also a laywer. this of course is deeply different from "criminal scheme to bla bla".
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is the notary to know what you'll find when the stuff he notarizes butthurts your preferred coloring of reality ?
