phf: OriansJ: good luck with
that
OriansJ: phf:
Tor-browser paranoid mode for reference
☟︎☟︎ OriansJ: I would like
to
thank everyone here; for helping me
to realize
the importance of good documentation.

to phf ^
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-07#1907277 << it works fine without
the javascript, i use it regularly in lynx (and occasional exotic browsers like netsurf), but i suspect it will fail in a browser,
that both fails
to display SVG and
then fails
to display a link map

they are
that by personal, wholly owned choice. nobody asked
them, or
told
them, or "made
them" act in
the specific manner of
their subhuman nature, whereby "1. if it's not comfortable ~to me~ i'm 'not interested' because 2. i expect
there's enough of us animals around so
that 3. under
the pressure of our wilful ignorance
the republic will be forced
to change and adapt."
spyked: ce
the collection of writings of nobody in particular. do you see
the dissonance
there?
a111: Logged on 2019-04-07 00:04 OriansJ: asciilifeform: Having spent
time reading
the log; I am less
than impressed
OriansJ: well; I guess we will have
to see. Until
then
BingoBoingo: Anytime from minutes
to weeks is possible.
OriansJ: the javascript requirement is a bit odd
though for
the patches page
☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: With
the conversation going on I figured it's
time
to let someone else carry
the voicing.
deedbot: asciilifeform rated OriansJ 1 << neophyte /
temp. voice
OriansJ: I would have expected more code-morph style engineering given
that hardware style.
OriansJ: Creating anything I find interesting or useful. Be it
through mutual cooperation or single sided self-interest.
OriansJ: asciilifeform: I seek out potential; and I heard
there was potential here.
BingoBoingo: Some futher organization of
the literature would probably help with initiations, but first asciilifeform needs
to catch a
transcription slave
OriansJ: asciilifeform: Having spent
time reading
the log; I am less
than impressed
☟︎☟︎☟︎ OriansJ: asciilifeform: which is fine if you expect
to only work alone and have
the work lost in
the sands of
time.
☟︎☟︎ OriansJ: asciilifeform:
that is not an effective mechanism of documentation reference
☟︎ OriansJ: and have you put all
the possible enhancements into a common place for reference?
OriansJ: Ok, so asciilifeform, you wish
to improve upon it rather
than use it?
OriansJ: asciilifeform: we don't need cycle-accurate; we just need good enough
to be able
to write
the pieces
that will run on it directly
☟︎ OriansJ: ok; do we have software simulators such
that people can start developing software for it while we solve
the hardware side of
the question?
OriansJ: asciilifeform: back
to my previous question. What actual really useful
thing has been created in regards
to Sane Iron so far?
OriansJ: asciilifeform: well we can either wait for others
to perform miracles or we can get off our asses and make
them for
the world
to see.
☟︎ OriansJ: asciilifeform: honestly,
the chemicals and
the patents are still a mess in
that field plus
the never could produce a chip
that could exceed 100khz
☟︎ OriansJ: asciilifeform: something
tells me you would be more excited about Xerox's plastic
transistor
technology
OriansJ: asciilifeform: It is a guide for groups of people
to pool
together resources and setup a 1 micrometer fab
to generate
trusted chips. Yes it is far from optimal but it is a step in
the right direction.
☟︎ OriansJ: That is what
the RISC-V people did with
their 45nm chips
OriansJ: asciilifeform: It isn't about cost because a Custom IC can be done for under $10K
today in a 45nm process
OriansJ: asciilifeform: sadly
they haven't given
that yet but let us just assume Industry costs (say $10K) per wafer
OriansJ: asciilifeform: it is a project for open source lithography, it currently is at
the 1 micrometer process node and limited
to around 1 million
transistors at
this
time
OriansJ: So, perhaps
the most important question what has been actually decided about Sane Iron and what still needs definition?
☟︎ OriansJ: asciilifeform: I am good with
that as well; provided we actually bootstrap it properly
OriansJ: Let us just assume
the FPGA was not compromised and leverage it for
the bootstrap work at
this stage (I'll be going
to pure LibreSilicon before I am finished but hey
to each
their own)
☟︎ OriansJ: asciilifeform: DRAM initialization has a very unique pattern which can be detected very early (long before
the DRAM itself is ready)
OriansJ: asciilifeform: well some of
these patterns are universally useful and will exist even in Sane Iron systems
☟︎ OriansJ: asciilifeform:
that is absolutely correct; an attacker in Silicon can only put in attack hooks for
things
that
they know about not all possible inputs.
