mircea_popescu: even if you had
a large supply of quarters for this new laundromat.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you either know or could meet if you dedicated
a year to it someone possessed of an ai capable of identifying who the fuck to shoot.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: gizmolearner you need to be thinking on
a machine costing
a quarter an hour to arrive at the conclusion
a machine could outthink some guy making money.
mircea_popescu: the us is turning socialist because average us produced cuntlet can't bridge the gap between what she thinks her priceless snowflake of
a snatch is worth and what i might consider paying.
gizmolearner: After many years of slow growth, AI is currently looking to be on an unstoppable path. If
a machine that costs $.25 an hour to run can out think
a person who costs $50 an hour. What should the people do? Capatilism says the machines should win the jobs. So no you have factories and things that require almost no people, but still produce as much as ever. And
a lot of unemployable people.
mircea_popescu: but in any case -- socialism is always "tried" when the curve of worker consumption exceeds the industrial output, ie when there's
a lot of idle, unmonetizable pretense going around. in other words, socialism is the scar tissue, papering over absent production, not ever the result of abundance.
gizmolearner: I think in the not so far future most poeple will be obsolete, so capatlisim is out. If machines can outthink and outwork the average person that is
a lot of redundant people. On the plus side, the world would still be producing as much as ever. So what do we do ? Try socialsim again?
mircea_popescu: the soviet hotties who willingly traded their charms for
a cake of soap and two rolls of proper toilet paper whenever they could get the attentions of
a not-born-among-retards visitor for long enough were nominally employed, in
a nominally functioning empire, nominally making
a great salary.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "you will always make more money tomorrow than yesterday, no matter what you do". sounds like
a dream until you find out how the ustards implemented it in practice.
gizmolearner: Even starting engineers make more than I did as
a CTO for startups 10 years ago
mircea_popescu: oh, i'm worth like
a billion give or take
a few start-ups.
gizmolearner: McAfee was sort of mid startup when I joined, so 90% of my money was from them becaause the stock was actually worth somthing. By startups I had higher salary, but it wasn't on
a level to complete with the stock.
mircea_popescu: oh, for my own curiosity, as an anon data point : would you say spending
a few years mid career working for failed start-ups makes one more money than working for corp ? less ? ~same ?
gizmolearner: I'll say this about back then though, it was nice to have
a company to buy thinigs like SoftIce and IDA.
gizmolearner: I was software architect for the av group for
a while, got their enterprise product started, got like 20 patents, decided I hated patents and was just working against my future self, left, couple startups that failed, nothing really too noteworthy
mircea_popescu: seems rather like the whole nic-dma combo is being fortified as
a wolf's last stand. i guess they expect ot lose cpus (to the chinese).
gizmolearner: mircea_popescu: used to do security software, goofed off for
a few years, running out of savings so I need to either make something or get
a job again
gizmolearner: ƒasciilifeform: pseudo code but LPC ISA (Bus 0,Device 20, Function 3).Spi_Base(90h).SPI_OpCode=ERASE look like
a step in the right direction?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for my curiosity, does imperial drm tech look for
a 2048 rsa or ec sig ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 15:35 mircea_popescu: not like it's
a rule everyone must drive, wear the same dumbass clothes and read reddit.
mircea_popescu: gizmolearner did you ever say what you did for
a living or anything ?
mircea_popescu: you don't want to hook up one of these to
a board, and use it to probe chip ?
mircea_popescu: not like it's
a rule everyone must drive, wear the same dumbass clothes and read reddit.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1653033 << this is
a terrifyingly stupid idea. gf knocks your glasses off next you drive into me then ima have to get out, beat you into
a pulp and set the rest of the eu on fire because htye'll be all "hey, why you beat guy into pulp, that's against eu regulations" and i'll be all "fuck you and your stupid mothers"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: it's mind boggling that in
a world arot with socialists, the one place where communal solutions fucking make sense finds itself cornered, and about to lose
a head.
gizmolearner: On the quark it actually does slide
a few insructions on reset because they didn't bother to wire TRST, so they are reseting in stopping in some hacky way.
mircea_popescu: also, this was
a field where waiting for computing paid off, past 2 decades. but i'd be gut-guessing it's just about mature by now.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1653027 << but no, not really. you don't wear them continuously, and the lacrimal soup isn't very conducive in the first place. it's true plastic is great bacterial substrate, but really material science has come
a long way, this is not much of
a concern.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: this isn't by any chance the first time you got
a probe going ?
gizmolearner: I figured it out. Instruction at 0xfffffff0 is
a jump. The probe doesn't refresh the registers until after you execute an instruction. So after reset the registers are stale.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 13:12 gizmolearner: Soldering debug I can do. Having PCB manufactured is
a bit beyond me
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 13:04 asciilifeform: gizmolearner: theoretically you can attach probe to any (but the latest, crippled) amd cpu using
a 'socket interposer' that sandwiches under the chip. but as to where to get it -- no one seems to know.
gizmolearner: I wonder if the probe takes
a few instructions before it stops
mircea_popescu: being born to
a stupid mother and inheriting her stupid tongue is
a heavy burden indeed, as it turns out.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1652989 << no, i have no objection to it being incomprehensible, it strikes me as nutty also. perhaps
a major part of the explanation is that whenever i don't remember something i just pick
a girl who likely doesn't know it, ask her about it, and when she doesn't know it she gets ordered to research it. another part of it, maybe even larger, is that the stuff that actually interests me isn't
☝︎ gizmolearner: In random news... the first Intel NUC I order from Amazon.com (not 3rd party seller), was just
a box bag of gravel inside. Customer support sent
a real one. I'm guessing
a reshrink wrapped return that got send out again.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: are you planning on building an entropy source based on them, then? :) need
a good uv light reader, or something?
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 05:34 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well that i dunno. but shatter contacts are
a major and growing part of serious eye injury.
gizmolearner: Soldering debug I can do. Having PCB manufactured is

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 05:27 mircea_popescu: it dun have
a centrifuge, it sucks the water out inertially. ie, as it lifts the clothes they lose water.
phf`: Framedragger: that's colloquial use of "anarchist" by the way, i.e. when i was growing up that was post-punk, post-left (in
a marxist leninist sense) people. think bob black, rather than murray bookchin

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-07#1652709 << i grew up literally in the library of my parents' house, they put my bed there when i was 12 or something. 5-6k tomes or thereabouts. i've not kept
a house with books the past decade nevertheless, nor do i intend to.
phf`: mine is
a vertical spinner, but it also has
a horizontal drier in the same tower. i'd say apartments i've seen it's 50/50 between vertical and horizontal washers

gizmolearner: Probe is working great. BTW it's
a purchase last week, so they still sell the kits with probes.
ben_vulpes: i have derived
a tiny bit of insight about
a huge swath of the population, then.
mircea_popescu: dude, what understand. they're drones, beta males looking to get into some kind of party, any kind of party. they've made
a pact and shit.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway. add
a thin layer of oil, venting problems solved.
ben_vulpes: well this was in the burbs, at
a fab facility
trinque: not
a problem at my last pdx gig!
trinque: > not having
a keg in the office
ben_vulpes: i don't need
a new motherfucking surface area problem on top of my drinking problem
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: story is boring: i was doing r/d for teeny tiny chip testing companies in the "silicon forest", hated commuting to the burbs and not having
a keg in the office, and got hoovered up by the great webdev pressure gradient.
ben_vulpes: i actually had to castigate someone at this otherwise nice joint, "picnic house" for serving me bubbles in
a coup recently.
mircea_popescu: how you ended up programming is
a mystery in this context.
ben_vulpes: or
a fucking if statement downstream that doesn't serialize
a magic number
trinque: ben_vulpes: clearly you pick
a length which will be enough for anybody.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes see, the problem is they have no sense of humor. why the fuck make JUST "remove_copy_if" when you could have had
a whole suite. "if_copy_remove" "remove_if_copy" AND "copy_if_remove" plus removeif_copy and __remove_ifcopy for good seizure.
trinque: want to go ~100mph you'd better find
a downhill or two
trinque drove
a nissan cock cage for 3hrs today, worst car on earth
mircea_popescu gets 16 inch solid iridium spiked penis cage with
a little handcrafted machine gun on top.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes oh, i just happen to not need any. those girls who need eye correction, get same thing you're discussing,
a-weighted soft contacts/
ben_vulpes: soft lenses are
a thing, i've been using them since they came out with astigmatism weights.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well that i dunno. but shatter contacts are
a major and growing part of serious eye injury.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: why would you put
a door seal in place when you could simply seal the agitator axle
