mircea_popescu: i'd very much rather we go with 1.
they booked
the chassises at 1k each,
tentatively, which is not what's going
to happen. bill 120% materials like it seems it's becoming
the repuiblican "standard profit" and
there we go. neh ?
mircea_popescu: but no,
the universe 3 whereby "people made a 300 btc donation
to unclear future goals" isn't really on
the
table.
mircea_popescu: or else universe 2, whereby chassis for pizarro is produced by you as free agent. in
this world we have
to now explain what nsa actually is, which becomes a rather difficult
task, and pizarro will have
to sell its bonds on market,
to whatever discount.
mircea_popescu: practically
the situation here is
this : we can either live in universe 1, whereby chassis for pizarro is produced by you for nsa, and sold by nsa
to pizarro. in
this world nsa stays what it always was, as above, and pizarro can (at practically your option, as i can go either way) pay with undiscounted bonds for cash-equivalent mateirals ;
mircea_popescu: afaik nsa always was exactly what phf is quoted above as having understood it is :
the umbrella org for your manufactory.
mircea_popescu: and one step down, nsa doesn't even have
to permit equity buys, can insist on being paid cash. i was permitting it because i
thought it's desirable, but if you don't like it evidently won't happen.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think
there's any intention of
that. i certainly would vote against
the measure.
mircea_popescu: if you do it as "myself" you get whatever chassis cost in btc in your pocket. if you do it as s.nsa you don't, is
the logic ?
mircea_popescu: well how much pizarro has in
the way of cash isn't changed by ooooh i see
the problem, you hafta recirculate
this is it ?
mircea_popescu: we were doing
that as an easement, but it's evidently our option neh ?
mircea_popescu: it doesn't ~have
to~ sell for shares. can sell for cash, why not ?
mircea_popescu: it can do consultancy / custom jobs for isps/dcs, why
the hell not.
mircea_popescu: there's not some rule
that all nsa products must be available
to
the general public.
mircea_popescu: okay, but
the larger concern seems
to be
that you'd rather put all your fabrication under nsa
than have
to explain
to shareholders why not and wherefore in
the future.
mircea_popescu: when you last flew over (on nsa dime) we sold
them servers an' nobody died.
mircea_popescu: yes, but what's
the significant problem with nsa selling pizarro custom built chassisen ?
a111: Logged on 2016-01-16 20:58 phf: i find
the framing odd, i
thought purpose of s.nsa capital was
to assist ascii in his b-a aligned, but essentially personal endeavor, which might potentially have a return. somehow it
turned into "pay ascii by
the hour". if ascii doesn't want
to work on cardano, it's not a b-a way
to coerce him, but if
the project still exists, is being worked on,
then money will be spent when
there's something
to spend it on, and
there will be a

transport for rockchiptron will be considerably cheaper
than 2500, as i can't picture needing a whole week, nor 400 in overweight charge for
the crates
mircea_popescu: in "things
that willn't have happened 20-30 days from now, say security experts"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 10:15 spyked: ftr, I've gathered about 700k keys in
the last 3-4 days; if
the
total number hasn't changed
too much from
the previous 6.9M, I estimate I should have all of
them in 20-30 days from now.
mircea_popescu: (the correct cut would be, obviously,
the arab invasion -- but i choose
to be
this insulting.)
mircea_popescu: but
there's no major "let's all move
to italy
then" moment
there.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, in other cases -- like, say, dutchland went
to shit with william because doh,
they all moved over
to
the island
to be english nao -- it's obvious enough wtf happened.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i have scant interest in current persian. might as well care about neogreek.
to what,
to see how
they decided
to
transliterate mcdonalds ?
mircea_popescu: so it's quite
the rewarding activity,
trying
to puzzle out what
the fuck
they wanted from lyf.
mircea_popescu: it's one of
the major cultural languages least comprehended by contemporary hermeneutics.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, secrecy is not so much a public matter. your harem slaves will keep your secrets, but why are you
talking secretly outside of
their bodies ?
mircea_popescu , incidentally, is a huge persian poetry fan. i mean
the pre rinascimento stuff.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and yes,
this can very well be implemented as, "overvotlage its power line"
mircea_popescu: suppose instead c'. machine failed
to so notice, returned 65524 : step d.
the other machines return "reject 3."
mircea_popescu: to drive it into
the dirt : a) suppose you want reliable addition, for which purpose you comission rockchip machines 1
through 6. b) you pass along
the string "5+6".
the answers come 11 11 11 65524 11 11. c) machine 3 notices it is
the only one with
that result via its distributed n-of-m magick module, and returns "op fail" instead.
mircea_popescu: (meta-failure, of course, being
the failure
to conceptualize it failed)
mircea_popescu: where any one component admits
TWO levels of failure : direct failure, and meta-failure.
the former warrants destruction.
mircea_popescu: the nightmare
this is becoming for
the "nobus" bunch
though. /me cackles.
mircea_popescu: they didn't have ecc.
they ~implemented~ ecc exactly in
the way described.
mircea_popescu: otoh arm is cheap enough
to run 50 and pretend you're 1950s space program.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-17 04:59 mircea_popescu: so basically is
the idea
that you'll just do whatever and we're missing
this opportunity
to attempt an' standardize iron ?

terms of getting hardware installed and refuses any requests made under color of law by
the
terrorist organisation known as "the united states government". and publishes
them.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-16 09:00 diana_coman: well, I'd rather cross compile
too if it works because
then I can use
the rockchip as launchpad for everything else, why not
diana_coman: o.O as much as I'd like
to lose cpp all
together and even forget
that it ever existed,
that's not feasible atm

the aarch64 will build static but not by default, so
that part I will check.

tomorrow : 28 per chassis
then ?

the cheaper you get your stuff, you understand,
the more your intaingibles and equity lines are worth.
