mircea_popescu: im really hoping
the chinese come out with an actual chip alternative.
mircea_popescu: the only shit
they're still selling is stuff like
the fx gaming processors, mostly
to nvidia fanbase.
BingoBoingo wonders what sort of mangling would let a Bitcoin unload
the ECDSA on opencl so gpu could fuck with it
mircea_popescu: how
to improve on 1024 chickens ? upgrade
to 1024
turducken
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Yeah,
think I would be correct in saying its used a bunch in video-rendering stuff
BingoBoingo needs
to see if minecraft client will work on OpenBSD for him
mircea_popescu: in random wtf
today : minecraft server runs on one core only o.O
BingoBoingo: AMD seems
to be still doing ok on
the server if you are going
to shard
the physical machine into a fuckton of vms
williamdunne: I definitely saw something
they were meant
to be great for
mircea_popescu: o, yeah,
that eightcore fx
thing. but it's a middling offering at best.
mircea_popescu: a battle amd has lost, incidentally. i don't even know if
they have anything
williamdunne: Shouldn't
that depend on usage, and
the specific CPUs?
mircea_popescu: and
the only
thing
that even offers 4ghz sucks even worse.
williamdunne: Although I've normally found
that most web-frameworks fuckup at 10-15% load
mircea_popescu: damn
this entire fetlife fraudulent dmca business has been one of
the best
things. i really love
these new servers i got.
mircea_popescu: "five elephants decided
to figure out what man is. according
to
their unanimous
testimony, man is essentially flat."
mircea_popescu: but france is
the most socialist country and it attacks people with money!
williamdunne: Just a "The control of crypto-currencies like Bitcoin are set
to be
tightened drastically" appended
to
the end
williamdunne: "France Restricts
the Movement of Gold, Cash, & Crypto-Currencies"
☟︎ williamdunne: Lots of English speaking yellow people who don't know any asian languages in
the UK
williamdunne: Seems more geographic, with race being
the likelihood of being in whatever geography
mircea_popescu: not
that many white people speaking sino-tibetan languages, not
that many black people speaking indo-european languages, not
that many yellow people speaking semitic languages etc.
mircea_popescu: because obviously
the most commonly held lowest denominator of culture (ie, language) is pretty race-related.
williamdunne: But sure, introduce me
to
them over an evening, and outside of usual struggles with names I'll do fine
williamdunne: Maybe
the whole school was more perceptive, I had heard of a few racist-type events at
the non-selective schools
williamdunne: Occasional racist jokes but
the couple of Asian kids and couple of black kids were just viewed as other kids
williamdunne: Maybe, I know at secondary school I wasn't
the only one without
the issue
williamdunne: Can't say I've really experienced
that personally
williamdunne: So, just
to be clear.
The difference is you can
tell who shitty white people are, but you can't
tell who shitty black people are?
mircea_popescu: obviously all
this is pointless once we have internets and wots and so on. but for a long
time before now...
mircea_popescu: and if
they don't like it, let
them look more like upstanding white folk.
mircea_popescu: that's kinda what happens with racial stereotypes. if you grow up among white people, you immediately recognize white
trash. black people don't register properly in
this scheme, so your mental heuristic (correctly) just assigns
the
trash bit
to all of
them.
williamdunne: How can you do
that with a racial group
though? I
think
this group
testifies
to
that as we're from all over
mircea_popescu: williamdunne less
time wasted identifying
the idiots, which need
to be oppressed ?
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 00:09:48; asciilifeform:
the pretentious derps, just
think of it.
williamdunne doesn't understand how homegenity of any particular racial group can be useful, when most cultural
traits are specific
to individuals regardless of racial group.
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 00:04:04; asciilifeform: and
the idiotic scam helps
to discourage
the few folks who might yet do it.
mircea_popescu: depends. if you regain control, a lot. if you don't, itdoesn't make a difference anyway. a bagful of dandelion fluff is never going
to make an airplane anyway
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 23:58:52; jonvaage: How much good does homogeneity help if
the predominant culture is fucked?
mircea_popescu: but whatever, horowitz can pay.
they can push back and forth
the same million in qe,
taxes, fines, donations, govt contracting and whatever until
they fall over. every 1000
times
they do it,
the "gdp" goes up by 0.0001% or w/e
mircea_popescu: so wait,
the violation of "bank secrecy act" consists of having kept banking secrets ?
mircea_popescu: jurov not something
that is established experimentally, either
BingoBoingo comparing
the comparative merits of
the
thinkpad X201s and X220
BingoBoingo: Then again
that could just be good video drivers
BingoBoingo: It
throttles down alright, just baseline sync'd Bitcoin cpu consumption on
this machine is higher
than it is for 720p video
jurov: or you can sprinkle sleep(1) calls in
the ecdsa code
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Also I worked so hard
to chop
together a kind of Bitcoin
that works on OpenBSD
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: but
they can steal knowledge of which keys are mine
BingoBoingo: jurov: Not distress, just vexation since I've had
to resort
to supplementing with an external fan way
too early in
this machine's lifecycle
jurov: *BingoBoingo descends
to a damsel in distress
BingoBoingo: I'm either going
to
to have
to move
this machines fan replacement schedule from every ~18 months
to 6, stop
taking
this machine out in
the garage
to smoke with me, rent a machine
to use as an electrum server, or find a beefier machine
trinque: reminds me of
the shitty desktop switchers
that everyone had an orgasm over when compiz became a
thing
trinque: mod6: I question
the geometry of
this cube my head's apparently in
BingoBoingo: jurov: It's
the CPU's ability
to shed heat
that's
the limiting factor.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> 2d slide decks. <<
that
BingoBoingo starting
to consider potential replacement laptops, bitcoind having outgrown being a feasible background process fulltime on
this machine.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Seems
to be a member of
the poor connections party
BingoBoingo: homogentity is great when you are
talking about a fleet of
taxis, poor if you are
talking about your food supply post nuclear war
ben_vulpes: i gather
the friendly micro-dos is back
