asciilifeform: anyway iirc i described the basic scheme of this previously.
asciilifeform: previously i thought that you could not have an auditable single-crystal rng, but possibly this is not so : if you make it so that only co-incident (on 2 detectors) gamma is picked up, you can 'yoke'-audit 2 units by placing back to back around test source.☟︎
asciilifeform: incidentally, if there were such a thing as an honest ic fab, the scintillator-cum-photodiode-cum-debiaser could easily be an ic
asciilifeform: (mechanical) assembly, fasteners, packaging, etc.
asciilifeform: the only improvement currently in the worx is the scintillator thing, which should give 1000x entropy debit ( and consequently 1000x faster testing, which is significant to asciilifeform who assembles and tests EACH UNIT BY MOTHERFUCKING HAND ) but that's really it.
asciilifeform: phf: i can see what you mean, but i dunno that the problem (if you can call it one) is addressable. thing ain't 'friendly' any moar than a claymore mine is friendly.
asciilifeform doesn't ask FG buyers anything, by default, unless they ask 1st
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: now that you mention it, did these arrive intact ?
asciilifeform: phf: wat, folx buy bare boardz all the time
asciilifeform: incidentally ( and this is not a seekrit, is clearly readable from the broadcast ) it was barely +ev after postage.
asciilifeform: so far it's pretty hilarious, i build a box that actually solves $problem, and not even close to 'megabestseller', all the meanwhile 'people' paying, supposedly, multi-$k for usg rng.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform is from vaguely-european-looking, architecturally, city, and simply likes the aesthetic, and considers everywhere where it ain't to be found, a monkeystan, is all.
asciilifeform: phf: funnily enough i dun have the infrastructure ~here~ either
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have 0 against ruins, or whatever abomination 'exists somewhere', but so far no buenosaires-like pics from mircea_popescu-in-cr
asciilifeform: 4 destroyed keyboard's worth of asciilifeform griping about working for money, apparently flew right by pete_dushenski .
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i gotta ask how you arrived at this impression
asciilifeform: which is what happened , as i understand, to most of the 'believer' folx.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it also kept me from losing my last pennies in 'investments'
asciilifeform: and still it is largely so even today.
asciilifeform: and was not esp. interested in forking over reichsbux for any, because thought it was a terribly designed , by idiots, item, and used, by avaricious idiots
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i dun have this excuse, i was aware of the thing almost from beginning
