asciilifeform: lol reminds me of the d00d who wanted to rename FUCKGOATS
asciilifeform: attn folx : zoolag node going down for scheduled maintenance , for next ~12h
asciilifeform: ( or even actual sunlight. print in sunscreen cream. then expose.. )
asciilifeform: trinque, douchebag : not nearly as permanent as proper tattoo , but low-tech enuff and good for year or 2 -- print a negative and expose under one of those uv lamps that idiots 'suntan' under
asciilifeform: ^ 4096bit, reads with standard blastergun
asciilifeform: but observer, ~everybody has a whole shelf of lappies , even 'with spitting'
asciilifeform: and i will note , folx like to spit on laptopism, but it is a necessary evil, and asciilifeform for one would like to have a reasonably lappy one day that doesn't weigh 3kg and doesn't eat a 150bux battery erry 3months
asciilifeform: iirc old version had an evil (i.e. non-open-driver'd) nic
asciilifeform: how much the chipset differs, i do not know, i have neither one currently , simply no time
asciilifeform: shinohai: loox like previous version. new one iirc was c101pa .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what, specifically, means 'self replicating nn' ?
asciilifeform: but in principle yes, makes for a ~2003-speed workstation..
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if it had sata option, i could recommend for 'workstation' ; presently would hesitate
asciilifeform: in principle there's no reason why every single board needs clock, so long as owner is friends with somebody who does have clock, in same rack
asciilifeform: competing boards, some possibly better even , have one ('allwinner' )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it has a rtc , but no battery
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo it can be in the next crate , if you can describe why we need one
asciilifeform: FG pricing, i am leaving to the biznis genius of ben_vulpes & mod6 currently
asciilifeform: (4) is perhaps worth expanding on : it is special 'headless' , reclaims the memory that would have been eaten by gpu; also disables keyboard/mouse/HID
asciilifeform: not only sniff test, but , may as well proclaim it here : 1) 6 rockchiptrons are to be installed at pizarro 2) each subscriber gets a clean , asciilifeform-recipe gentoo image to start with 3) 128GB flash by default , upgrades negotiable , talk to ben_vulpes & mod6 4) each machine comes with full kernel src for asciilifeform's custom rockchip kernel recipe
asciilifeform: ( e.g. 'allwinner' , 'snapdragon', even broadcom's infamous raspberry )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: to be fair, this is true of almost all similar boards on the market
asciilifeform: ( thing has ttl-voltaged serial ports and a ready 5v out )
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform found that FG connects to rockchiptron with 10cent straight cable, sans usb
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hey, who am i to complain, the folx who dun feel like paying for 'expensive' FG -- are more than welcome to pay the cost of using js prng etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: typical 'gox' is moar of a plain paypal / sslism thing, rather than js
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was actually pretty popular, overshadowed imho undeservedly by the less cerebral tetris
asciilifeform: ( i dun need the phonetics, i keyed it in on an actual kbd by hand, know how to sound it lol )
asciilifeform: phf: i wanted to see what demented crapola google spits out for it
asciilifeform: but to be fair 'translator' only turned back into open problem a week or so ago.
asciilifeform: when asciilifeform is no longer catastrophically swamped with 9000 horrors, will possibly attempt a general-purpose bot ( ideally with real, rather than googlistic, dictionaries even )
asciilifeform: yea meant to push 'translate'. but both, grr.
asciilifeform: oh grrr, it was shinohai's bot wasnnit.
asciilifeform fell in luvv with 'sokoban' as a boy, it was ~the~ game, and only many yrs later realized the appeal: so much like in actual life, player spends good % of time in 'yer phucked, whether know it or not, all yer moves are futile' state
asciilifeform: ( smoking wreck will be, yes, moved by crane... )
asciilifeform: amusingly enuff, this is approx what actually happens
asciilifeform: 'It Is Texas Law That When Two Trains Meet Each Other At A Railroad Crossing, Each Shall Come To A Full Stop, And Neither Shall Proceed Until The Other Has Gone'
asciilifeform: well considering that ~whole point~ of heartbl^H^Heat 'feature' is to assist knownplaintextattack...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: picture if the selector on kalash had a 'fires backwards' position.☟︎
