asciilifeform: dunno, i haven't been keeping up on plos & 'nature'; perhaps gotta take moar dope so as to read 400 moar pdf's/diem
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu looks well on his way to getting solar-shaded and crispr-patched for 3 extra pairs of chitinous wings -- or what is it that happens to folx who piss off The Greats Of Her Demoocracy
asciilifeform: 'we aim for stars, but sometimes hit london'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: says the bright young fella who after $millions of payola (i'ma carry on supposing that it was from judasing for usg, esr-style, unless proven otherwise) and decade+ , produced: ___?___
asciilifeform: them heathenz are in ~exactly~ same place today as in '08 -- with possible exception of having moar bitcoin, which -- by misfortunate happenstance -- they have not yet been fully pirate40'd and gox'd out of.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform actually got to it by way of hexapod... )
asciilifeform: i bet he'd take an interest in the waveguide trunkmotor. if he had the sense to show up here.
asciilifeform: so far all i found was that ( respectable, imho ) hexapod d00d
asciilifeform: ( and if it only lives in pdf, it ain't a result )
asciilifeform: kanzure: wouldja deign to link us to a... result??
asciilifeform: and no -- as far as i can tell - RESULTS
asciilifeform: by all indications, this is so: much discussion of, e.g., ion beams, vacuum trap oil, sputtering chambers, etc trappings of work -- but ~no pics...
asciilifeform: palpitations? no olympics for you , no army spec ops
asciilifeform: upstack to 'subclinical' : for everyday d00dz, subclinical disease is a theoretical matter. but for one who fancies himself an athlete -- matters
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1708047 << i still get the ( perhaps mistaken? but not baseless! ) impression that kanzure ultimately assigns more weight to this selfsame weasel than to, e.g., mircea_popescu , on account of weasel having been anointed by, e.g., a.horowitz, and the latter still occupying the legitimacy-throneroom of his mind ( next to 'science', 'nature', warmism )☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can get op amps with multi-GHz slew rate
asciilifeform: ( FUCKGOATS in important sense was a reverse-gear of this process )
asciilifeform: and incidentally all comps are 'analogue'. engineer just breaks his back sweating to make the analoguity cancel out before you see it...
asciilifeform: they ARE still here. ( well, in asciilifeform's chamber of horrors, at least... )
asciilifeform: sorta how the analogue comps went away.
asciilifeform: deterministic machine ( i.e. where it is not acceptable for output to vary with phase of the moon and which elvis track 'voice of america' is playing ) entails ints.
asciilifeform: 'believe absurdity ? commit atrocity' -- or how it went.
asciilifeform: it is interesting also in re mircea_popescu's 'false freedoms of choice' concept -- d00d correctly grasps the retardation of ironfloat, but CANNOT seem to let go of it, 'must fix', ends up with 'socialism-with-humanface'-like abortion
asciilifeform: astonishing combo of 'he gets it' and 'wtf, schizo'
asciilifeform: complete with massive colour photos of 'mathematica' multidimensional plots, etc
asciilifeform: '90s usenetism for the study of crackpottery
asciilifeform: it is a priceless artifact of 'psychoceramics'
asciilifeform: btw, i almost let this http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707804 escape ! but no, it is worth reading , (if only on warez, dun give the crank moneys) this b00k -- starts with a VERY reasonable 'floatingpoint is retarded, here are 9,009 ways how' and proceeds to a... 'let's make a 9,000X MOAR byzantinely retarded pieceofshitstack!!'☝︎
