asciilifeform: ^ product?!

asciilifeform: i gotta wonder, kanzure , you don't like money ? or what. ( or make it not by selling anything ? )

asciilifeform: aite. ☟︎

asciilifeform: hey kanzure , can haz that product catalogue yet ?

asciilifeform: nuclear ablation for countries full of uppity californirasts, fortunately, just as practical.

asciilifeform: 11:07 < kanzure> well i would prefer star shades, but cloud whitening seems to be popular.

asciilifeform: 11:06 < emeraldgreen> kanzure what's the proposal? genetically engineered algae, or geoengineering with special spray ?

asciilifeform: 10:14 < kanzure> meanwhile total damage has been reported to be often >$1T

asciilifeform: 12:46 < kanzure> essentially we are the first fully-regulated bitcoin options exchange + clearinghouse

asciilifeform: 12:46 < kanzure> for now we are only offering service to institutions

asciilifeform: 12:45 < nmz787> kanzure: so what does that mean you can do now? can I use LedgerX for some service now?

asciilifeform: 7-24:

asciilifeform: 13:08 < kanzure> why do you think we don't already have 10 copies of this shit?

asciilifeform: 13:08 < fenn> why against mirroring?

asciilifeform: 13:01 < kanzure> i mean not for the scihub content

asciilifeform: call.

asciilifeform:

asciilifeform: they simply.

asciilifeform: nobody 'calls home', wtf, when you have every isp on the planet realtime bugged, every wire that leaves a house is 'home'.

asciilifeform: or encodes leaked mem into timings, say. use imagination.

asciilifeform: as is 'listen for magic poke-arbitrary-addr packet-indistinguishable-from-icmp-ping', etc

asciilifeform: spyked: 'call home' is not the smart model. 'stuff random chunks of physical memory, encrypted to nsakey, into margins of outgoing packets' is a smart model

asciilifeform: pumping is the classical recipe for 'add N lasers'

asciilifeform: ( most obviously -- to pump a larger item )

asciilifeform: when no other choice.

asciilifeform: and yes it is used.

asciilifeform: ( by how much it loses, i leave as exercise for readers )

asciilifeform: point being, they don't align phasewise: so N W-watt diode != N*W watt tube.

asciilifeform: ( laser is possibly the least efficient known electrical light source , watt per watt in vs out )

asciilifeform: consider why one even cuts with laser, and not with gigantic lamp and lens

asciilifeform: that won't make the waves align

asciilifeform: of small ( 1-5W) diodes. and they don't cohere together (because how?)

asciilifeform: they are aggregates

asciilifeform: incidentally, the 'kilowatt diode' ( and even 30W chinese item from last year's thread) are from a certain pov shams :

asciilifeform: fuck mirrors.

asciilifeform: me, i'd like direct diode-to-whatwe'recutting .

asciilifeform: ( as for 'from current', higher power demands better optic, for obvious reason )

asciilifeform: the alignment.

asciilifeform: but the optics

asciilifeform: the bitch, funnily, is never the tube

asciilifeform: it dun make sense at low power, to bother, so they ain't made small.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's the 20k+usd pro variant, is exactly how.

asciilifeform: water inlet for cooling.

asciilifeform: 100w is the tabletop item most folx have. sealed tube.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you buy your particular mix.

asciilifeform: i dun think i ever once set foot in a lab without a co2 tank

asciilifeform: is where one gets it.

asciilifeform: buy at welding shop.

asciilifeform: entirely commodified, wat

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706103 << funnily enough, exactly same as my view of computer. ☝︎

asciilifeform: i was speaking of properly lethal black coffee of course.

asciilifeform: depends on the drinker. iirc the particular locus even was found. i may even have read in kanzure's links some time last decade.

asciilifeform: so happens that i remember my first cup of coffee, very well. but to drink it again !

asciilifeform: there is nothing magical re tolerances. it's a physical condition, just as potentially removable as any other.

asciilifeform: for some reason ( afaik ) 0 attempts in this direction, to date.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706116 << theoretically, a reverser of caffeine tolerance would be all the cocaine anybody could want.. ☝︎

asciilifeform: so not much diff

asciilifeform: as i understand, all adrenergics are roughly similar ( in same way as all liquors, say ) in basic flavour of effect

asciilifeform: or was it meth, that he dreamed of.

asciilifeform wonders: perhaps d00d finally got his wish : found cocaine . and hence never again heard from.

asciilifeform: paging gabriel_laddel !!1!

asciilifeform: ( most recently -- freud? )

asciilifeform not tried

asciilifeform: if not for 'live for the peaks, not the area under curve' .

asciilifeform: whatfor.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why buy the magic powder ( and dissolve yer septum ) then.

asciilifeform: or see naggum's discussion of how 1990s consisted of series of imbeciles who 'wanted to be next microshit'
