BingoBoingo: I am interested nao. How long until we get a foundry so we can make them fast?
asciilifeform: afaik there was never a compiler for it (you could trivially port sdcc etc. but... why)
mircea_popescu: yeah, shiva must be this tall to pass.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but seriously, "efficiency" aside, i have nfi how one'd program for a processor that allows random switching in and out of the process counter / memory counter etc.
asciilifeform: yes, with togglers.
asciilifeform: phun phakt: you can still buy a toy computer with it: http://www.retrotechnology.com/memship/memship.html
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo i think would like this chip
asciilifeform: thing was famous for, among other things, 'sex' instruction
mircea_popescu: "Karen Bender" is not a bad name by the way
asciilifeform: (and three or four american)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, i dun think romania actually ever made that.
asciilifeform: (where the hell is that ticker?)
asciilifeform: phun phakt: my parents still have chinese towels father bought in ro in '80s
mircea_popescu: yes, they did, romanian friendship :D

assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 12:21:50; mircea_popescu: there existed an "official" one, MMN80CPU and a number of unofficial clones made in small runs and mostly clandestinely. (most of ex-soviet bloc economy in the early 90s consisted of "anyone who is clever enough to use this nobody's fixed capital - welcome to do so for the cost of the consumables")
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157765 << that's a z80! not a cdp1802. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: im pretty sure i have seen this
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 01:55:55; trinque: most ORMs would load the whole damn row into an "object" whatever that is, load all the objects into a list, then iterate over that duplicated set of data and barf out the aggregate
davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157448 <<< no sane orm would do that ☝︎
assbot: Eurlorean Crafting - The Pickaxe Illumination on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1JBR8JI )

mircea_popescu: i will also observe that s.mg launches much awaited bitcoin's mmorpg, usg.agitprop is silent ; "blockstream" launches "much awaited" (by whom ?) nothing at all, the wsj seems compelled to write it up within the hour. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 11:31:45; funkenstein_: looks to me like pure theatre
mircea_popescu: this bodes well for them.
mircea_popescu: curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to www.blockstream.com:443 ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 03:36:59; asciilifeform: it is interesting to contemplate how many of the traditional nato stereotypes of soviet industry were not only false, but apply to nato wholly and not at all to sov
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157660 << fnargl problem. the soviet politbureau was secure. the usg "feminists" are not. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the population of the world barn stood for it once, "monopoly on violence" and all that bull, why shouldn't it work again ???
mircea_popescu: amusing how transparent the usg efforts of turning bitcoin into gold are, by the way. "oh, we don't want to kill bitcoin, honest, we just want to make it so we're the only ones that can safely hold it. you know... like gold..." ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 03:34:02; asciilifeform: intel can build a machine for transforming lead into gold, i still won't buy it.
assbot: MMN80CPU 2591 | The CPU Shack Museum ... ( http://bit.ly/1dZVxcf )
mircea_popescu: iirc the yugos had even more , but i don't recall specifics
mircea_popescu: there existed an "official" one, MMN80CPU and a number of unofficial clones made in small runs and mostly clandestinely. (most of ex-soviet bloc economy in the early 90s consisted of "anyone who is clever enough to use this nobody's fixed capital - welcome to do so for the cost of the consumables") ☟︎
funkenstein_: if there really are "many ways to discover the private keys", then there are necessarily many ways to discover the message sent, no matter how it was encrypted and keys distributed
funkenstein_: looks to me like pure theatre ☟︎
wyrdmantis: any thoughts on this? --> https://youtu.be/zbp412zFsto
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 02:53:51; trinque: how in the fuck is github worth anything let alone 750mil

shinohai: tl;dr If you need "another project" to work, join #b-a!
BingoBoingo: shinohai: What's the tldr; on the context?
vexual: the consesnus is a guess at the hash
vexual: how much hash does it take to move it 3pc
punkman: I imagine things are more tense in Athens, but haven't been in that shithole for a while now
vexual: i imagine everyones calm until one cunt throws an orange
vexual: whats greece liek for the man on the street now?
decimation: the massive antibody response from usg against these escaped prisoners is amusing ☟︎
decimation: heh yeah ddr was the silicon valley of su
decimation: somehow they don't produce different designs though
asciilifeform: decimation: only in the loose sense where 'commodore amiga' is like pdp
decimation: the msp430 is kinda like the pdp11
asciilifeform: iirc the sov. single-chip pdp11 (famous in 'bk-0010' microcomputer) appeared before there was such a thing in the west
asciilifeform: some were not even clones in the traditional sense, but legit reimplementations
decimation: none of them make stuff themselves though
decimation: asciilifeform: actually what's amusing is that usg has many similar competing departments
asciilifeform: whereas there is not, nor can there be, an independent maker of, e.g., cpu, in the nato blok
asciilifeform: nominally under the boot of 'gosplan' but factually own animals
asciilifeform: e.g., ussr had, in fact, a great many independent (in the administrative -and- engineering sense) manufacturers of various things
asciilifeform: it is interesting to contemplate how many of the traditional nato stereotypes of soviet industry were not only false, but apply to nato wholly and not at all to sov ☟︎
asciilifeform: (arm is de-facto microshit to intel as present-day ibm)
asciilifeform: the grand finale will be the intel-arm merger
asciilifeform was not moved to emotion by this
decimation: asciilifeform: did you see that nxp bought freescale
asciilifeform: intel can build a machine for transforming lead into gold, i still won't buy it. ☟︎
decimation: maybe intel will get around to releasing a cpu that uses cores for error checking rather than extra derpage
decimation: yeah that's what you would want
asciilifeform: at one point i toyed with the idea of building a 'wallet' with one.
asciilifeform: but never found this
decimation: write in forth if assembly is too much
decimation: at least for the command/control peices
asciilifeform: thing had huge transistors, and only around 5,000 of them
decimation: if I were launching a satellite I would sure as hell rather have time-proven parts
asciilifeform: it beat the shit out of its contemporaries (z80, 6502) for instruction-compactness
decimation: apparently the 'new cool kids' couldn't be bothered to write decent software or use rad hard cpu
decimation: heh the cy enfield keyboard
assbot: Contact! LightSail Phones Home after 8-Day Silence | The Planetary Society ... ( http://bit.ly/1Gnhi0e )
asciilifeform: it's the fat bugger in the middle
asciilifeform: and to equip an entire space fleet
asciilifeform: enough to last your whole life
asciilifeform: where there are sealed tubes still for sale
asciilifeform: if you want it, straight to ebay
decimation: heh, maybe if you a plebe in the us
asciilifeform: (but will they ship to a plebe? satan only knows)
decimation: asciilifeform: how much does that space qualified ancient cpu cost?
asciilifeform: you can even get pin-compatible with the classical dip-40 package.
asciilifeform: (one of the best, z80, is -also- still with us. in current production, by the millions.)
asciilifeform: decimation: gotta love how the -single worst- cpu of the '80s is still with us.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu would you happen to know the name (part #?) of the yugoslavian clone of the cdp1802 ? or (if existed) ro version ?
mircea_popescu: decimation the 70s were 45 years ago.
mircea_popescu: but the idea that random derps are getting 5mn from wb because susan'd have wanted it...
mircea_popescu wasn't there, doesn't know.
mircea_popescu: women aren't held to.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157500 << gotta love the idiots. as if 'git' had no existence outside of 'github' ☝︎
trinque: yeah mine's got that adjuster on the arm you can diddle a bit
asciilifeform: that is, by the position of the siphon
asciilifeform: but more typically, it is 'set in software'
asciilifeform: decimation: in the worst cases, yes
decimation: but isn't the flow limited by ceramic plumbing?
asciilifeform: for non-u.s. folks: picture a toilet that won't flush -anything solid- in less than 3-4 shots
