mircea_popescu: you can not call your spec "scalable" while it has magic numbers in it.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how "our idea of scalable is to define a number up to 32 and then you can go from 3 to 32 and this is now scaling" hurr.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr, the "register window" spark thing seems the height of idiocy, but what do i know.
mircea_popescu: the usg not holding up to its side of any bargain it ever made -- also surprise. to some people.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so the cost will be epsilon, 0 from real estate and epsilon from heat.
mircea_popescu: the design of any general purpose item is above, there's no exceptions.
mircea_popescu: (what is the total cost of this item ? what percentage of that is this new addition ? what is the output of this item ? what percentage of that would the new addition produce ? make these two rations equal, you're done adding parts.)
mircea_popescu: but the decision of whether to have or not have barrel shifter is strictly carried on the cost of it.
mircea_popescu: that's the design flow. automobile, therefore powerplant, therefore ice.
mircea_popescu: car gets internal combustion engine NOT because "the needs of the buyer", but because it needs a power plant and that's the better powerplant available. the needs oif the buyer are welcome to adapt.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform design does not proceed towards requirement.
mircea_popescu: for my own curiosity, what's the state of the art re "MINIMAL cpu design" ? ie, the theory of how many instructions mustg be in a set and why and per-instruction justification and everything ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yep! and all the same things, too. "community", there;'s also a "sparc-climate science".
mircea_popescu: also a school of performing arts in community whatever.
mircea_popescu: so indeed, nuked very well. they even invented "other things" to be it instead of it.
mircea_popescu: as per google : "SPARC is a global coalition committed to making Open the default for research and education." and Sparc - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparc Sparc is an exclusive import distributor for the Philippine market.
mircea_popescu: he's exactly right, at that. precisely the sort of thing that happenbs in soviet unions.\
mircea_popescu: by mass, the lenin world was built out of the fat of the idiots who lived in old shithouse, wrung out through their skin pores.
mircea_popescu: it seemed like it may exist ; upon examination it turns out ignis fatuus
mircea_popescu: in the process discovering that a) they diverge from the spec and b) in no particular or ennumerable way.
mircea_popescu: unless we make an actual board for the extant superh items
mircea_popescu: so it's basically "this piece of flotsam i once found which for a time light up when you said boo".
mircea_popescu: but didn;'t the dorks need to use some kind of debugger to get it to boot linux anything ?
mircea_popescu: tales from the crypt : the new generation or how did it go
mircea_popescu: ~only thing that can help with local carrier is if so and so "businessman" calls. otherwise...
mircea_popescu: i dunno, they were figuring it's gonna help their "careers", as if 200 dollar a show tv extras in intl markets have fucking careers or somethign.
mircea_popescu: and all the ~OLD~ ro tv hookers were crowding him, it was fucking hysterical to watch.
mircea_popescu: so i was once at a party, i dun recall teh details, but that dude, adrian whatever, was there.
mircea_popescu: at any rate, i also believe in that whole spqr-esque "korpenkultur" as you call it ; just i'm also scandalously self indulgent.
mircea_popescu: whereas i was in my best shape in my 20s also : i ate steak for breakfast, three deserts a day, i don't think i ever went to bed before ingurgigating 4k calories and i was mostly so skinny, if i laid on my back in swim trunks i could see my own dick.
mircea_popescu: maybe, though i am not convinced. gout was originally the disease of the corrupt priest. there's this very specific tendency of the affluent white male to turn into a pear.
mircea_popescu: "i'm not a filthy subhuman monkey from india, i'm following my religious rituals by feeding rats milk. problem ???"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not surprising, is it ? ~whole point of fiat corp is to keep the lawyers in yachts.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron well, depends if you're willing to commit or not ; but this has to be an afore-the-fact decision. can't be "let's see", that just causes grief.
mircea_popescu: but generally, a small "town" in costa rica constists of a coupla strip malls and a bunch of corrugated sheet metal shacks around them. say orotina or w/e.
mircea_popescu: well depends. you can walk all over san jose, which is you know, about the size of rancho cucamonga or something. you can also go for a serious walk through the numerous national parks, go from cerro alto to villa mils or somthing if you're up for the trek.
mircea_popescu: but, to answer your misshapen general question, "the interest of the government" is to maintain public faith in both the functioning of the system and their ability to control it. whereas taxes are not a concern, the operation of the usg is financed by chinese credit not by domestic taxation. much like in any other banana republic, which is why greece, or argentina, or etc are so reluctant to collect their tax receipts.
mircea_popescu: i quoted a coupla items off my class action feed the other day. the firehose (ie, unfiltered) easily exceeds hundreds of entries. DAILY. (they have to be published because any member of thje class can apply to court to be lead plaintiff.)
mircea_popescu: you can't see, for lack of the sight organ, which is a knowledge of the field.
mircea_popescu: p0nziph0ne what;s your experience with class actions ?
mircea_popescu: and in other "omfg death by cuteness", i captured a tiny baby gecko, 2 gram's worth. he's adorbs.
