ascii_butugychag: in
that he not only invented neural net, but single-handedly proved
that his original conception (which meanwhile spawned a mega-research-bubble) was a dead end
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: btw minsky was quite possibly
the most intellectually honest fella in
the whole field
ascii_butugychag: interestingly, it is possible
to arrange
the pieces in such a way
that
there is no voting circuit as such (as central point of failure)
ascii_butugychag: 'voting circuit' is unfortunately
the one and only way
to make machine,
that does not fail, out of shit parts.
mircea_popescu: "oh i like
the fact
that no one man decides what is in
the lawbook"
ascii_butugychag: and i like
the fact
that no one hdd gets
to decide what is in my boot sector.
mircea_popescu: a reflection of my i don't like or
trust raid controllers earlier stance
mircea_popescu: no, when magic worker in
the saving data lab gets
to carefully reconstruct hdds under inert gas.\
mircea_popescu: so realistically, if you've
two or more failures, your odds of recovering from data loss are still well in
the 80%+ range.
mircea_popescu: it is practically impossible
to get 3 dead, say "fix
these so
that you can reconstruct one out of
these
two" and not get it done.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the arrangement is seriously boosted by
the historical accident of spinning hdds.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think i've ever used anything other
than 1+0 combos.
ascii_butugychag: (it instead introduced boobytrapped raid card, but i can deal with
those more easily)
hanbot: i was, yeah. and i used
to,
thestringpuller, sure.
mod6: haha, workin on gettin
that new box setup?
mircea_popescu: yeah but
this is easy
to check, better controllers say
mircea_popescu: iirc fail
to write just allocates from
the spare cells
kakobrekla: does 3ware have something modern (not isa or pci slot)
that doesnt cost an arm and a leg?
ascii_butugychag: and
these were proper honest whole-box deaths, or just fail-to-write ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose in pre-postindustrial world, only
the heros would havge been shipped, but what can you do.
mircea_popescu: there's a one
that leads
the pack,
then
the bulk of failures,
then a coupla heros left behind, fwis.
mircea_popescu: then during
the next week you'll be sweeping out
the other bank
too
mircea_popescu: what happens is
that one dies, at which point you swap out not IT, but
the whole bank.
mircea_popescu: oh, it was empirically obtained, i didn't
theoretically determine it.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag if you use at least 8, you get one
that always dies first.
ascii_butugychag: unrelatedly, anybody here ever harness ssd in raid box ? did
they die in unison ?
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu yeah i sent
the guy
to your logline.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag
this is
true. i suppose
the matter is open
to your evaluation, if he was actually driving
the matchbox aroundf or not.
mircea_popescu: i meant of
the specific "i'll wait for a better deal" process.
ascii_butugychag: on mircea_popescu's planet of immortal
titans it might be different, but where i live
there is ~always~ a funeral and a rehash of
the process with younger derp
mircea_popescu: then
there's a funeral, and a rehash of
the process in younger derps.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i get it, everyone everywhere is holding
their precious self in dear esteem and waiting for a better deal.
mircea_popescu: hope as
they might
that
they'll get a certification
to substitute absence of actual skill,
the world still runs on physics rather
than metaphysics.
mircea_popescu: you applied ~3 years ago. we're still waiting on delivery of
the first item, aka
the cardano.
mircea_popescu: more like "if you want a billet
to help -
the application desk is over
there ; if not, isn't
there some welfare line you sohuld be in ?"
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 17:46:54; mircea_popescu: kakobrekla re email : yes
there are contingency plans. no
they will not be discussed, with anyone. not until after we've salted
the earth where
the last "parliament" / "presidential residence" etc stood.
pete_dushenski: maybe 24hr qc
test at factory facility before shipping
to permanent data centre.
mod6: thanks for
testing shinohai
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla re email : yes
there are contingency plans. no
they will not be discussed, with anyone. not until after we've salted
the earth where
the last "parliament" / "presidential residence" etc stood.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hm, i can't find
the one where i said
that
the only way
to have "justice" is
to oppress some derps, but anyway.
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, mircea_popescu has a mega-point in
that su, unlike british empire, was self-contained, had own set of coolies
ascii_butugychag: this, like any operation against a
thermodynamic gradient, is a fragile and
temporary
thing, and
tends
to end bloodily, but it is why we have computer and not fucking-goat
ascii_butugychag: the man-vermin separation is
the whole concept of civilization imho.
mircea_popescu: gotta define white man!
through
the exclusion of someone, somewhere.
mircea_popescu: well
that, yes. what do you
think is always and forever at
the fundament of " you could [] still live like a white man" ?
mircea_popescu: soviets had a russian > cecen
thing going, as a matter of course if not as a matter of law.
ascii_butugychag: furnace stoker, night watchman, etc. were beloved
trades of
thinking folk
ascii_butugychag: but see, in
the other usg, you could actually
take up
those professions and still live like a white man
mircea_popescu: you have
that much in common with 1980s inteligentsia in
the other usg.
mircea_popescu: it's not a la mode because i didn't want
to
trigger you.
PeterL: Yoda:
There is no
try.
