mircea_popescu: truth be told, the republic isn't really for anyone.
asciilifeform: who do we have in this weight category aside from mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: eh, the record of "i am independently wealthy lalala" folk isn't good either.
asciilifeform: if memory serves, the survival record for n00bz that drift so quickly to the 'how do i pay rent from this' phase, is poor
mircea_popescu: there's a reason i do this level with girls. in between the "gotta eat", which readily and correctly is resolved by "eat out of the slave trough" and "i got ideas and things, which readily is correctly resoved by the whip, there's just too many failure modes.
asciilifeform: d00d seems to have ~some~ spare time, neh
mircea_popescu: can't do that until middle-class "rich"
asciilifeform: douchebag: with the sheer abundance of unsolved boojums, even in past few wks of log, it boggles my mind why you do not pick one up and make it yer own
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2018/06/man-extradited-to-us-over-silk-road-allegations-after-2-5-year-wait-in-thai-jail/ << Qntra - Man Extradited To US Over Silk Road Allegations After 2.5 Year Wait In Thai Jail
mircea_popescu: it's true that it was geared towardsthe capacities and abilities of a presumptively independent republican lord, whereas you evidently need more hands-on tutoring and training. this isn't the end of the world, of course, but it is strictly uninteresting to me, as i expect to get a slavegirl out of that degree of involvement, and you don't pass the bioquals.
mircea_popescu: douchebag not really. we had something like that a few months earlier and it went nowhere.
BingoBoingo: ^ When alf fixates on mysteries the result is NOT a sporadic comment every couple weeks
asciilifeform: douchebag: personally i'm not fixated on knowing how you pulled the particular trick
asciilifeform: douchebag: re works -- what do you know how to do ?
douchebag: However, I found it was much easier to just pick up prostitutes and throw them some $ to show tits and walk them through the process in person
douchebag: I started off just messaging girls on discord and seeing if they were interested in making money andgiving me a cut
a111: Logged on 2018-06-15 20:48 asciilifeform: i suppose this one'll only get properly settled if/when douchebag confesses
douchebag: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-15#1825875 << confess to what? ☝︎
douchebag: Would you be willing to assign me a list of tasks to complete each week, and if I successfully complete each task would you compensate my work?
douchebag: Hey mircea_popescu, I'm going through a pretty difficult time in my life right now. I'm working a job that will not improve me as a person
asciilifeform: ( tho ordinary fpga is moar susceptible to classical pills )
asciilifeform: i find it interesting that google's approach to building cr50 ( 'hardcopy fpga' ) is actually ~moar~ diddleable, via this method, than if they had shipped ordinary fpga
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i dunno... i assume what quentin tarantino dresses jackson and travolta in, so they look like "a couple of dorks" << hehe
asciilifeform: ( so that they can -- lol -- sell moar non-ecc ram ... )
asciilifeform: recall ancient thread re semiconductor houses buying up hulls of sunken ww1 ships , cathedral roofs, etc
asciilifeform: ( for folx who slept through kindergarten -- garden variety alpha is 5Mev and above , strictly on acct of mass )
asciilifeform: ( the ~internal~ solder balls, which replaced ye olde gold whiskers for die to package linkage , that is )
asciilifeform: most real-world 'single event' seems to originate from alpha-emitting crapola in the chip solder balls, rather than the proverbial 'cosmic ray'
asciilifeform: on account of smaller capacitance of the circuit
asciilifeform: interestingly (and possibly surprisingly to the uninitiated) sram is actually ~moar~ sensitive to particle than dram
asciilifeform: aside from golden toilet satellite gear makers, it seems to be the fpga folks who most concern with 'single event upset' ( term of art for this item ) , as a flipped bit in fpga config , even down on earth, routinely translates into magicsmokerelease
asciilifeform: the only open documentation seems to be from semiconductor houses , there's some material from altera co, i did not bother to link ( who wants pdf ) , can prolly dredge it up again if somebody really wants
asciilifeform: ( tho with every shot there is a probability of, e.g., catastrophic latchup, short circuit , magic smoke )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 3MEv is , if the satellite folx are to be believed, squarely above the boundary where enuff energy is transferred to flip bit , but not so much as to thermonuke the semiconductor
asciilifeform: ( hey kanzure ! wanna do something actually useful with that '2 mil' pile of scrap gear ? )
asciilifeform: ( imho the gedankenexperiment of 'can haz sub-$10k 3MEv chip fuzzer?' deserves at least some log space )
BingoBoingo: Gotta build jungle mud huts with the jungle mud you have, not the jungle mud you want
asciilifeform: this approach is only attractive/economical compared to linear accelerator.
asciilifeform: ( the latter apparently in perennial fashion among the moar moneyed 'make magazine' derps, 'look ma, i have fusion' )
asciilifeform: dunno if anybody's built in jungle conditions anyffing better than farnsworth's electrostatic confinement thing.
mircea_popescu: you really working to earn that terrorist badge, arentcha
asciilifeform: ( incidentally a cf-252 neutron source is said to cost a btc or three, but -- unsurprisingly -- not in konsoomer retail )
a111: Logged on 2018-06-16 15:10 mircea_popescu: afaik no nm addressable items even exist. tho they should.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-16#1825995 << revisiting upstack -- the chip is by far easier to move, than the beam . ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( in usa the inspector monkey dun even get a say, the machine's ocr thing turns on red light, and monkey is stuck filling out form )
asciilifeform: re ankle weights, possibly these look exactly like a frag in the xray
mircea_popescu: i dunno... i assume what quentin tarantino dresses jackson and travolta in, so they look like "a couple of dorks"
mircea_popescu: i think it's on trilema somewhere, customs dood was liek "but don't you have any normal clothes ?!"
asciilifeform: i've yet to see anybody anywhere give a shit re clothes
mircea_popescu: except girl ankle weights, aged cheeses, money, clothes that don't look like they're intended for the servants, and on it goes.
asciilifeform: ( woe be unto the tourist carrying sausage )
asciilifeform: usa seems to have the most permissive customs, pretty much anyffing that doesn't set off the dogs, is ignored
asciilifeform: no rhyme or reason to it
asciilifeform: errything from uruguay, argentina, weirdos, to diana_coman's taxed FUCKGOATS , etc
mircea_popescu: except when they don't, but sure.
asciilifeform: ( ru has possibly world's most fascist customs, recall the incident with the chinese teapots )
asciilifeform: they routinely turn away chinesium at the customs post there, on account of items like this cement.
mircea_popescu: which technically includes chinese cement, but the fanfic "fails to notice" thereby "it never happened"
asciilifeform: ( there are some lulzy countries like ru where anyffing that radiates moar than a banana, requires note from hitler )
mircea_popescu: well, it's comparatively safe ; not like pornography or, god forbid, printed matter pertaining to abortion.
asciilifeform: ships via the post ( in lead can )
asciilifeform: the former is a pretty blunt knife tho.
mircea_popescu: though ideally one with a microwave source rather than some rare metal capsule.
mircea_popescu: a surplus medical piece's not even a bad investment in capital goods then
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you dun need nm addressing, or much of any addressing, tho, random flippage of sram would handily suffice for just about any defritzing job
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/i-dont-understand-a-fucking-word-this-man-is-saying-help-me/ << Trilema - I don't understand a fucking word this man is saying. Help me!
mircea_popescu: afaik no nm addressable items even exist. tho they should. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, collimation's the real problem here.
asciilifeform: enemy didn't set out to make impossible wall; simply tall enuff that the headache far exceeds what anybody's willing to bother with. and to date seems to have succeeded.
mircea_popescu: but, yes, in characteristical fashion the problem fritz chip proposes to solve is not solvable.
asciilifeform: 2-5MEv ~guaranteed to flip bit.
asciilifeform: ( not that anybody would spring for troo rad-hard in konsoomer crapola, anyway )
asciilifeform: the satellite folx have largely given up on making logic impervious to particles, they moved to tandemism instead
asciilifeform: particle diddling is great , in theory, as there is not really a practical defense against it
mircea_popescu: a proud flagship of the confederacy of dunces.
mircea_popescu: what if you simply clip something to the power and gnd pins and harmonics the hell out of it ? o wow, really ?
asciilifeform: this worked in the past, but cr50 seems to include boobytrap for voltage glitching
asciilifeform: gold standard in heavy industrial world is apparently fast neutron. ( thermal neutron also worx )
asciilifeform: slowed by the packaging, apparently
mircea_popescu: by now it's more likely to melt.
asciilifeform: in other archaeology: re particle glitching : apparently even hard (100kV+) xray does ~nuffin to current-day asics , needs -- ideally -- fast neutrons (good luck finding this in jungle conditions) or at the very least hard gamma (co-60 , possibly eu-152)
mircea_popescu: fucking pedo smile on that woman...
mircea_popescu: lotta "Prevenția înainte de toate. Cum să protejăm copiii de abuzul sexual books.google.com Translate this page Elisabeth Raffauf - 2016 - ‎Psychology" bullshit, too. of course.
mircea_popescu: nope, ro is there.
asciilifeform: or only the engl transl
asciilifeform: curious, is the ro original of the piece also on their magic list
mircea_popescu: the joy -- undiminished, each time.
mircea_popescu: i'm like an old man enjoying his feudal domains and his alzheimer's, i keep finding the same things over and over again.
asciilifeform: i recall (but for some reason cannot find in logz..) mircea_popescu discovering this several yrs ago
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, google "doesn't know" http://trilema.com/2015/the-anal-child/ exists ; if you google for anal child all you get is other articles that reference it, and pages like say trilema.com/2015/03 ; but the article itself "dun exist".
douchebag: Nah, I've just had a number of family related issues come up suddenly along with some other factors that would make it difficult for me to travel overseas within the next few months.
douchebag: The best part about making plans is when bullshit comes up and prevents said plans from taking place.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, pompous inanity in a light bore sauce. how ? how does anyone get through their days with these shits ?
mircea_popescu: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/0gXiA/?raw=true << aaand in other not-news, motherfucker i CANT STAAAAAAND the "woke" ustardian crowd.
douchebag: I think those plans are going to be delayed unfortunatly.
ave1: Morning, douchebag, you're traveling through Europe now?
douchebag: Morning TMSR
phf: asciilifeform: the way it looks x60 is not going to be replaced anytime soon, but it's running freebsd, and i avoid putting unstable stuff on it. i want a linux box for messy hacking though.
phf: asciilifeform: i guessed that might be the case, but i ought to get that carbon operational again anyway.
asciilifeform: phf: aaaactually you can test the snake with the selfsame cbook, plug 1 end into usbc and other into the usb3 jack . in dev mode shell you will get the ttys , and can connect
