BingoBoingo: Sure, but
they swing between "Make Miami in Ecuador" and "Make Ecuador Miami Again"
BingoBoingo: Well, Assange
taught us Ecuador can't diplo-crate
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( even supposing i devise a means of
teleporting one
to BingoBoingostan ) << Slow boat with your workshop
BingoBoingo: Well, fill
the other half of
the container with rockchip plants
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> prolly oughta add
that surplus SEM in particular ( and similar irons ) 1) generally live in usa 2) dun exactly fit in smuggle-trunk under old shirts << If you can produce an invoice I can recieve it as a prepackaged good
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you odn't like uruguay for
the purpose ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 21:40 mircea_popescu: < kanzure> jrayhawk_: would you be willing
to host a microscope? responsibilities would include keeping it plugged in and internet connected. also
there would be an irc bot
that controls where it looks. you'd also be pestered
to load samples periodically. << did
this 2014 idea ever get implemented ?
mircea_popescu: (this is not strictly about jpg. ~any~ image compressing/processing/fucking with
the sensor data is dubious. even using such a
thing as
the camera's "soft" focus (as opposed
to
the lens-driven hard focus, some handhelds offer
this internal processor-driven cvasi-focus) is a bad idea for
this
task. exact discussion of "whitening" and other such pattern-inserting nonsense from crypto)
mircea_popescu: it may look
the same
to you, and
to anyone else. but if it flipped over a pixel somewhere you're looking at a potential man-year
to find where
the fuck.
mircea_popescu: ideally both
the pre-stitch and
the post-stitch, and absolutely do not use jpg.
SeanRiddle: When I starting posting pics I was hosting my domain at home and
the big pics would kill my access. blogspot limits
the max size, so I uploaded
to wikimedia. Now I'm using a real web host, so I guess I could put everything
there.
mircea_popescu: SeanRiddle why
the hell would you use
this batshit insane process. what's wrong with linking
things like sane people, off your own domain and all ?
a111: Logged on 2018-11-30 19:52 SeanRiddle:
That's
the lo-res pic. Wikimedia sometimes chokes on my big pics, and I have
to upload smaller ones. Go down
to
the File History and
there's a link
to a 43Kx45K pixel pic.
mircea_popescu: but
the issue isn't focus ; it simply is
the frequency of
the photons involved.
mircea_popescu: the idea being
that
there's an absolute limit
to optical microscopy due
to quantum phenomena (hence
the heisenberg reference, his original work as critiqued by bohr dealt exactly with
this). however,
these limits also depend on frequency, and from comparing measurements in different lights one can get some error correction.
SeanRiddle: I haven't. Fiji can do focus stacking, but I haven't
tried
that yet. I've got an XY
table and I rigged a stepper
to
the focus knob, so I could
take n pics at different focus for each
tile.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 19:28 mircea_popescu: you put in a violet source,
take a pic. next you put in a green source,
take a pic. next, yellow and red.
mircea_popescu: we defo need a
tree massager.
this problem will reccur.
mircea_popescu: problem being
that massage will prolly inform future pic
taking. but anyway.
mircea_popescu: i will
take my chances on
these four deuces. "engineers", i know what
this means.
mircea_popescu: a horse
that goes 90% of
the way
to paris still can't make any part of stagecoach
to paris.
mircea_popescu: yes -- nevertheless, it'd actually make fucking sense, as opposed
to prayer-driven methodology.
mircea_popescu: ie, while
transistor is not natural language semantic unit, isn't it machine language semantic unit ?
mircea_popescu: if you were
to attempt
to do ~more~ machined reversing
than merely "build me netlist", wouldn't
the correct approach be
to a) build binary
tree of
transistors and b) sick
tree massager on it ?
mircea_popescu: or w/e,
the list of binary
trees, admitting somehow
there's unconnected islands
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is
there any difference between
the netlist and a binary
tree of
transistors ?
mircea_popescu: the more we
tal;k about
this,
the more it's evident what's lacking isn't MERELY x or y. we're lacking a buncha pieces here.
mircea_popescu: you know, if we had working svg
thius would be such an eminent application for a svg scroll-through-er.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 19:24 asciilifeform: on other front, phf : on occasion of
the most recent bolix
thread , i went and looked again at
the
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-17#1771955 artifact ; it is interesting
that
they provided 128 iron
types, incl. bignum, but not a 'bignum of fixed N words'. i guess in '80s ~nobody was
thinking of crypto at all. ( and i was prolly unduly pessimistic
to
the orig finder of $item, it is prolly 95% of what's needed for cycle-accurate clone.
mircea_popescu: i agree it can. i also
think it can result in some pretty lulzy "electrolytes
that plants need".
mircea_popescu: i hereby dub one possible end result of
this process "the bugbolix plague".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and for
the puyrpose of fit in head, do you agree 2.4k pics with margins better
than 600mb flatpile ?
mircea_popescu: (this so neatly mirrors ye
trb/prb discussions it bleeds)
mircea_popescu: maybe you end up with bugbolix machine, accurate
to
the collection of userland software bugs.
mircea_popescu: but i mean... you don't even have
the spec against which
to check
this "works" ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe i'm just not grasping something fundamental. but it seems
to me
that for reversing work, 2400 pics with margins beats a 600mb monstrosity.

to find sumthing
that'll display
that
thing without choking
a111: Logged on 2018-11-30 19:58 SeanRiddle: Yeah,
that was something like 39x60 pics stitched
