mircea_popescu: well die
transistors autoplaced is prolly about on par with making yourself a 3d gun
that works.
BingoBoingo: File
this in reasons I did not make a nubrub for my OBSD bitcoin-qt build
mircea_popescu: just sayin, you know ? could prolly be made in a box, if one felt like placing 100k items by hand. if he works 8 hours a day at
this, it won't
take 10 years.
mircea_popescu: but foir
the sake of argument, made by hand from discrete semi parts.
decimation: if you allow logic gate ic's you could reduce
the
transistor count
mircea_popescu: a pdp could probably be cloned
today by hand in a finite
timespan, fit in box.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'The backplanes contain 230 cards, approximately 10,148 diodes, 1409
transistors, 5615 resistors, and 1674 capacitors. Cards only used for interconnect were not counted.' <<
the important point is element miniaturization
then vs now. at
the
time, 1k
transistors > 100 lbs.
today, 1k
tranzistors < 1oz.
decimation: I would be interested if you could feel a blank pcb and a pile of random parts into a machine, press
the magic button, and pop out an assembled board
mircea_popescu: the phone in
toaster guy is clearly shopping on
the wrong silkroad clone.
decimation: I suspect it yields finer geometry
too
decimation: that honestly seems easier
than milling
decimation: nothing really beats 'solder mask' for
that purpose
decimation: re: milled pcb < I wonder if
they would be a pain in
the ass
to solder
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'if wish were horse' etc << if wish were whores
they'd be hoarse for
the horses ?
BingoBoingo: <decimation> although I would not want
to breathe
the copper/fiberglass fumes << Better
than cold sea sponge farts
decimation: although I would not want
to breathe
the copper/fiberglass fumes
decimation: there are a few cnc machines marketed for
this purpose
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> who are you
to say what drunken future brings! << I'll volunteer
to
take point on
this
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: you can't draw a circuit on a sheet of copper with nonconductive glue either... << don't oppress my genius! if you CUT
the copper and
the substrate is Conveniently Chosen (TM) it might work!
decimation: there is a funny
thing about 'professions'. if you like
to kill animals, being a vet is a great idea
BingoBoingo: I'm still jsut amazed by
the difference between 8 yo scared of other people and labeled autistm-ish vs. HS lots of social connections constantly
tired West nile and no one cares
decimation: asciilifeform:
true. it would pay for daily bread anyway
mircea_popescu: decimation you gotta
talk
their language
tho, which dirties
the soul.
decimation: if I were a psychiatrist I would be all about
treating 'needy' suburbanites rather
than being part of
the urban internal security service
mike_c: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu you might as well put my name on
the wot job. looks like i'm doing it.
decimation: well, as has been covered by
tlp,
there is much profit
to be made in labeling pathologies
BingoBoingo: I
tend
towards much of
the "diagnosis"
that begets pathology not being such at all
decimation: yeah 'overdiagnosis' is probably a problem
too
decimation: perhaps 'geek parents' having children at >35 has something
to do with
the autism rates
BingoBoingo: <decimation> I would bet
that if you asked
the parents of
the non-vaccinated,
they would say
that
they want
to 'prevent autism' << For a period of
time my parents
thought
they autism'd me with vaccines
BingoBoingo: Pathology
threads are generally best
threads
decimation: I would bet
that if you asked
the parents of
the non-vaccinated,
they would say
that
they want
to 'prevent autism'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And
the result is still unparalleled in
the
tech press
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Qntra is always open
to 1st half rants from you
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
the funny part is
that it is mostly
the children of
the less-poor (california, clustered around enclaves of mega-bezzle) who are dropping <<
This part, also vermont which
threatens dpb directly
danielpbarron: "but i have a right
to go shopping even when i'm contagious!"
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> i
think a better solution is
to hide sick people away, checking in on
them every week and not letting
them return
to society until
the illness is gone << You forget water is one dirty bitch
mike_c: people will stop
taking medical advice from jenny whats-her-name
mike_c: the vaccine isn't 100%. i'm not
that crazy about it
though. i figure a few more outbreaks and
this no-vaccince fad will go away quickly.
danielpbarron: i
think a better solution is
to hide sick people away, checking in on
them every week and not letting
them return
to society until
the illness is gone
trinque: two generations out of a high child mortality rate and people
think
they're bulletproof
BingoBoingo: My position in
this is
that unidentified proteins must be assumed evil.
danielpbarron: i don't buy
that at all; if your kid has
the stupid
thing
then he should be safe
mike_c: which is one reason herd protection is important, which is why danielpbarron is
trying
to kill my children.
mircea_popescu: the other
thing is,
they give vaccines
to 2 hour olds, which is also fucking dumb.
BingoBoingo: MMR great, live microwaved polio great. Herpes Zoster... prolly still getting
Tony Larussa Shingles
mircea_popescu: now people won't get polio vaccine because "vaccines are bad". dumb shit like
that.
danielpbarron: fwiw i probably have all
the vaccines you guys are harping about; my parents don't share my views in
this regard
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it's bs like zona zooster and flu "vaccine"
that ruin
the otherwise reasonable shit for everyone. <<
That
mircea_popescu: it's bs like zona zooster and flu "vaccine"
that ruin
the otherwise reasonable shit for everyone.
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> because of
the uncomfortably high chance of acute brain infection leading
to permanent damage << Why I don't get measles chickenpox comparisons "But
they both itch"
BingoBoingo: <decimation> when
the salk vaccine came out, it gave 40k people polio << k vs M situation
BingoBoingo: <hanbot> oh get out. << Chickenpox, fuck it. Measles, I'll
take a 25% return on bitches knocked up
trinque: BingoBoingo: I have; he can head
this way when
tshtf
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> fuck
this country. << Pls
tell me you have a Mosin
hanbot: where are
the 11 billion encephalitis cases 1850-1950?
BingoBoingo: Serious gambling
talk
though. Greater
than 1:100 odds unvaccinated against measles kids are going
to get brain damage. Encephalitis is a bitch.
mike_c: hm, maybe
the acute brain infection will improve your situation
decimation: when
the salk vaccine came out, it gave 40k people polio
danielpbarron: and a general distrust of anything medicine in
the USSA
decimation: there are some who
transfer
traditional ira/401k
to roth, and
then withdraw
the 'contributions' after 5 years
