mircea_popescu: the sea eats rubber. i hear
that's why
they don't have
the
toyota submerged cities yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the sun will dry
the seawater on your solar panels.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, 1knot is booooring" "you know,
the fish over
there is
the same fish as over here"
mircea_popescu: the other
thing is of course speed. you, you're happy with 1 knot.
the reason "modern yacht" has massively oversized engine and undersized
tanks is because water is like molasses, and modern man is a premature ejaculotor. GOTTA QUICK!!!
mircea_popescu: the small robotic blocade runner
tech is very immature.
mircea_popescu: anyway, you'll have
to figure out a buoyancy
thing anyway. whyt
the fuck use ballast, when could use airtank. etc.
mircea_popescu: PeterL
there can not be such a
thing as "small scale" nuclear reactor
PeterL: just go
to small scale nuclear reactor and
then you don't need air, can just run under
the water
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hence my "niggers nigger rig" comment.
they don't have
the clue
to make what
they need.
mircea_popescu: the
tiny
thing here discussed, a) can be easily stopped and b)
the suckage isn't of
the nature of golfball-through-virginasshole./
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the reason
this doesn't work for
the 40 foot planing yacht
twin engine
turbo bla bla, is because engine is fucking large.
mircea_popescu: nah, water keeps self out, as long as
they don't suck.
mircea_popescu: put four on each corner, make
them |= style, and let it be
mircea_popescu: in any case, you're doing 1/100
the weight and 1/10
the fuel
tank.
mircea_popescu: understand : "standard" yacht, say a 33 foot boat, has ~5ton displacement, and its
tank (150-200 liters) will
take it say maybe 300 miles if driven 6-7 knots in calm weather.
mircea_popescu: this is not yacht.
this is a 50kg displacement, 1inch above water item.
mircea_popescu: yeah right. a gift like season
tickets for baseball are a gift. "here's a gift
that will
take 5k in bills
to '''enjoy'''".
mircea_popescu: diesel is 10MW/kg.
this means
that 1 jerrycan of diesel can
take
two jerrycans however far 7500 miles or so.
phf: take port in la perla san juan on
the way, drink mescal with
the zetas, etc.
phf: a plus of
this approach is
that asciilifeform will be able
to live out his boat life fantasy
mircea_popescu: hitch
two jerrycans
together, one with
the fuel,
the other with
the engine navigation and payload, and w/e,
two weeks
to port.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, small &
thereby entirely undetectable surfaceboat (like
the us army
troop
transporters, back in
the day
there was such a
thing as an us army or
troops) would prolly work perfectly well.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 15:19 asciilifeform: if new vtron allows mechanical preservation of ~continuity~ , i.e. i can determine mechanically
that a reground
tree is in fact same as
the old but-for-the-hashes,
then all is ok. but if not,
this'd be essentially same as
throwing past 3rs of historicity away.
mircea_popescu: what, granma used
to hbe a gun moll, put a benjie in
the card ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: didja ever ask
that shop keeper ? <<
Their answer was sufficiently vague as
to be useless
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 15:20 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, I am still waiting on a birthday card from February sent
through
the post
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: also plox
to clarify, at
this point is
the disk crate a
total loss ? Will hopefully find out by Friday or Monday.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, looks like
the rest of
this week is finding out how
the plasticrap makes it in
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 03:11 Mocky: construction workers for
their 2022 world cup stadii firmly in gulag, unpaid for year+, dying at a rate of 1 every 2 days, according
to
The Guardian ~2014
phf: as BingoBoingo continues living in orcland and his subtle mannerisms lose
the imperial edge
the locals no longer perceive him as a white sahib, soon attempt
to "back
to work, nigger" him
mircea_popescu: what i meant by "mercantilism" is
that
they do not want
the locals
to leak dollars back into
the ubers of
the world.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: provided of course personas fisicas de republica oriental can receive more
than 2 packets a year.
phf: i believe
this might be a groundhog day
thread
mircea_popescu: imo we're getting close
to a golden standard udp
tester.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 13:14 asciilifeform: diana_coman:
the way i'd do
the size shuffle, is
to use a kindergarten prng (e.g. mersenne) for repeatable sequence, and put ~in~
the packets, a serial num.
then simply record what comes out.
mircea_popescu: why would i have baked into vtron something
that a) is unlikely
to ever be used again, past
this year and b) works much better in bash anyway and is rather
trivial
to do
mircea_popescu: but
the point is : given a sha
tree,
the operator
thereby produces
the keccak
tree, and
then
the
tool verifies
these are
the same, and
there you go.
mircea_popescu: phf i honestly
thought ~everyone with half hour's interest does have
the ~same dozen lines of bash, and so neve rsaid a word of it. i dunno why he doesn't.
phf: mircea_popescu: i have a set of
tools like
that on
top of vpatch/vdiff, but
they are entirely expressable as a 5-10 line shell scripts, and
their variety is multitude "convert
this sha set
to keccak set" "see if
these
two sets press
to same" "press all
the intermediate states into separate folders" etc. etc. but i
think what he's
trying
to get is a
tool
that will say "these keccaks are same as
these shas so you don't have
to reread"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why would IT do
that ? you just purge
the patches, hash and sign, and
then have it verify
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you're saying
this compare should be a flag in vtron, whereby it
takes a sha and a keccak
tree and spits out yes/no ?
