asciilifeform: ^ 26, to be exact, 'ivories' ( the rest weitek and 3620 rubbish )
asciilifeform: in other lulz : https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1lb-14-7oz-vintage-symbolics-vsli-242998915 << photo of what appears to be a pile of bolix ivories, sold for (!) gold recycler recently. epic.
asciilifeform: trinque: i suspect was moar of a 'plug embrasure of pillbox' idea than 2waymission
asciilifeform: ( took place in a typical salt mine, with mix of what passes for normal folks, and 'cleared'; asciilifeform ended up resigning, rather than taking holy orders , was quite loathesome pit in 9000 ways )
asciilifeform: ( d00d had pretty good gig: opened safe in the morning, closed in evening, and played 'wow' all day... ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( but no moar, can't afford, in the words of actual live usg seekrecy politruk , to asciilifeform : 'today instruction is 'let it burn' ' )
asciilifeform: kinda like how they used to have 'clearanced' firemen, to put out fires in usg shitholes
asciilifeform: Mocky: typically cisco grunts 'clearanced' not even for any interesting seekrit, but simply to be permitted on the grounds in usg dc where they cart the crates to
BingoBoingo: Mocky: In my corner of old country that's how things have been for a few years. Want a tech job? Take you pick of Boeing, mystery contractors scattered in strip malls around the airforce base, or put up with commuting to Saint Louis proper
Mocky: cisco's hiring 2 miles down the road, "Colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco #GIS #SDx" good luck with that, lol
Mocky: so many of the jobs out there want secret government clearance now, jeez. who do they think they are kidding with their super secret shit ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( i expect they used it as clock & address latch generator )
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 19:44 asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf turns out i was wrong re the rom, the rom-shaped object is actually a 1980s 'programmable event timer' thingie, am2971adc
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875841 << twist : thing has 622 bits of antifuse-rom state. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Seeing how their submarine ownership went...
BingoBoingo: Latest G20 lulz is Argentina is going to see if they can afford to buy a nuclear power plant and management of said plant from Russia
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Will ask, tyvm ☟︎
Mocky: mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo re wires #1 and #2 that I sent: #1 came back 'cancelled' after 3 days, #2 went to 'completed' after 1 day. I retried #1 (less 1 dollar) and it now is 'completed' after 1 day. BingoBoingo can you verify if actually arrived at bank?
mircea_popescu: The corrosive psychological effect of “nyet” on the American hegemonic psyche cannot be underestimated. If you are supposed to think and act like a hegemon, but only the thinking part still works, then the result is cognitive dissonance. If your job is to bully nations around, and the nations can no longer be bullied, then your job becomes a joke, and you turn into a mental patient. << pretty much exact.
mircea_popescu: the memory of the delicious anal twinge lingers.
mircea_popescu: anyway, he pretty much has it -- the "no" is deeply corrosive for the fucktarded brain. and the model exactly is, coddled mommyboi goes out of fenced area and gets assraped.
mircea_popescu: a there we go.
asciilifeform: e.g. today,s , https://archive.is/HpYAW
mircea_popescu: with the dysfunctional catamaran ?
mircea_popescu: im sorry, what's the would-be russian ?
mircea_popescu: hence if you recall one of the few decent orwell pieces
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the WHOLE thing is the posturing involved. it really sticks in teh usg's craw whenever it runs into real world not giving a shit about what its mommy told it.
mircea_popescu: back then, btc was cheap, possibly made a few thousand.
asciilifeform: ~nobody pays, folx format their hdds and cry into drink
mircea_popescu: i think these are remnants from like 2014.
asciilifeform: it's a cargocult, for the most part, a la spam.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw asciilifeform personally reversed coupla hundred 'ransomware' trojan turds, almost always the addr is ~empty
mircea_popescu: amusingly, average income payment is 4 digits, keks. i'd be sending what, 1k x wjhat they make ? roflmao.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the fatwa claims winblowz cryptodisk-flavoured virii 'ransom' addr, so prolly 9000 tx
mircea_popescu: 0fb6460fcb88a0fbdc85d4f3b9505e69814ceacb3effd20b427d1b8d5689094e / 09c078a4040b1a044dc654e005bcc8b4c23523393d5244fd9c47408968555640 i see mempool txn right now. ☟︎
asciilifeform: if whole crock o'shit is a scheme to win a titcoin or two from mircea_popescu , gotta give points for originality
asciilifeform: it actually wasn't clear from the fatwa, whether the pertinent folx are already on the stake in washington, and preet has the privkey, or loose
mircea_popescu: schmucks wanna break fungibility, gotta learn all they can break is their precious "orifice" or w/e it's called.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ty, fxd
asciilifeform: ( e.g. capacitor, can replace, if one knows where, a la http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1871 ; but there are other pieces )
asciilifeform: imho gotta be clones tho, orig will release magic smoke if run for coupla 100 hrs, optimistically, and no one will fix.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "has targeted a two Bitcoin addresses as"
mircea_popescu: but then he got high, or whatever the fuck the kanzures do.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 18:14 asciilifeform: phf: imho the ultimate bolix caper would be to rack a coupla working clones at pizarro & rent'em out. but admittedly this is , presently, nearly as far as the moon
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875744 << do you recall that time we visited some moron running "a museum", who was going to do exactly this ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: 1984's "bug-like man" was not exactly on point. apparently the socialist future breeds these boyish abominations.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 17:15 asciilifeform: all these folx seem quite alike, 9000 mug shots of grinning muzzle, and 0 highres jpeg of board
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875738 << exactly! and the same fucking mugs! the same everythings! ☝︎
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf turns out i was wrong re the rom, the rom-shaped object is actually a 1980s 'programmable event timer' thingie, am2971adc ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: what's that dumb fuck with the bad audio driver / pid eins nonsense ? practically same exact cocksucker, where do they even find them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for the obj reason, who else takes 'me, me, me' mug shot with 0 particular reason
mircea_popescu: we used to beat the shit out of the "depeche mode" morons in the 90s. wtf did you do!
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf i did finally turn up a high-res (enuff to read the ic labels) shot of ivory2; http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ivory2.jpg << mirrored. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://fare.tunes.org/files/pics/lispm/2003-01-19-lispm-fare.jpg << why is it always a retarded faggoty boi in all of these ?
asciilifeform: ( tho what asciilifeform most direly lacks, is the ~time~, hence open to the idea of another pair of hands doing it. just, would MUCH rather it be l1 hands than some ??? folk )
asciilifeform: if i end up doing the job with own hands, it'll be with mircea_popescu's method, i dun have electron microscope or the floor space to erect one
asciilifeform: either it or electron is the ticket, aha
mircea_popescu: if you say i believe. anyway, above described approach really should be the standard. if it isn't / until it is, i'd say premature to decap ivories.
asciilifeform: (so developing entire process for 1um dies, prolly not worth the candles)
asciilifeform: 'ivory' is somewhat unique case, imho, i dun expect to ever run across another 1980s item that even begins to merit this treatment.
asciilifeform: if this were a moneyed proj, i'd go straight to the electronists
asciilifeform: ( you'd want to test system on sumthing with comparable 'micronicity' )
asciilifeform: z80 is a much larger-featured item, so not directly applicable. 386/486 is the ticket.
asciilifeform: in a hypothetical peacetime when asciilifeform'd have free hands to do this personally, would start with a crate of less-rare contemporary 1uM die (e.g. 386) 1st
mircea_popescu: not bloody likely, physics is physics, but sometimes soft edges, "you'd gain a 20% benefit for a 1% cost" you don't see till you see it.
asciilifeform: hence 'they're nonrenewable, d00d, measure not 7 but 7777 times before cutting 1ce'
mircea_popescu: yeah. minus possible "oh, really, you know what ? shoulda taken them ~like this~" backflow.
asciilifeform: software is a 'can write later'. the photo gotta exist 1st.
mircea_popescu: not like it costs anything. though-- i expect the software doesn't actually exist.
mircea_popescu: by any rights there should be.
mircea_popescu: im sure there is.
asciilifeform: there's a standard microscope for this, i had one when i used fluorescent markers in meat work
mircea_popescu: of course it does, we had something like this because shitty microscope on fog room.
mircea_popescu: (on the source, i mean).
asciilifeform: tho it strikes me as a thing that oughta boost res
mircea_popescu: can be done with filters, too.
mircea_popescu: THEN you reconstruct the ~real~ edges of a material, to get a better resolution final pic.
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. ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: tho yer thinking of 'comparison microscope' ( like at old-style police stations for ballistics ) rather than interferometer
mircea_popescu: no, to extend the range into heisenberg's lands.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only if there's 2 dies suspected of subtle diff
mircea_popescu: (doesn't have to be stereo or live or anything. just take multiple photos ~in multiple lights~ and then have a computer diff the results, same end product)
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 15:59 asciilifeform: and 1uM was just about the last process where optical microscopy yields anyffin
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875720 << for my own curiosity : do they actually do interferometry when decapping ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-02-10 16:28 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, in a very much unrteported move, frankfurt got 300 tons of gold from new york.
mircea_popescu: ty, but have some crown jewels. what am i, the inca here ? http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-10#1613027 and all that ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: well it'd be mircea_popescu's gold then. but if he dun feel like it, is entirely ok.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is invited to not get killed.
mircea_popescu: im not prepared to offer "hold your gold for you" services.
asciilifeform: it'd suck to have'em vanish simply cuz asciilifeform were killed
asciilifeform: btw i'd kinda like to give those ivories to mircea_popescu for safekeep, if he agrees ( they're pocket-sized, so not 'pogo crate' )
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 15:50 asciilifeform: http://www.seanriddle.com/sc1die.html << suggests that this is the case, the link to 'Here's a 17436x15128 pixel version (HD View on another server)' goes to some microshit site that doesn't actually load for me
asciilifeform inclined to agree
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phf rubbed in this point further downthread
mircea_popescu: world really has had enough of those, mid 2018. 0 further need.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 15:44 amberglint: hopefully he won't lose interest if I make him go through the standard procedure here
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875700 << really, a lot cheaper to make a decapper than to make another ivory. so i rather hope he does lose interest, if he's the sort of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-04#1839459 retard. ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc he had a self-building-to-ext-hdd gentoo thing ( but naturally 0 clue as to what-next )
