diana_coman: that yes, I do; though I am partial to an
sukhoi more than to an AI because at least it's a concrete beast I guess.
diana_coman: as above, it's negative value, below that "not much" for the
sukhoi.
mircea_popescu: now, suppose we change out the
sukhoi, and chande in instead "an artificial intelligence", specifically, a few TB of w/e worth of mostly 0s, binary values.
diana_coman: if you are asking "what is this item worth to *you*", well, not much; the fuck do I do with this
sukhoi.
mircea_popescu: so, the
sukhoi 34 is a pretty cool plane ; in any case the basis of the russian defeat in the field of usg's pretense to air participation. now suppose for the sake of argument someone comes offering to sell one ; and suppose further that you're to advise on the purchase by providing a single scalar value : what the item is worth iyo.
mp_en_viaje: there was some turbulence in flight, right ? and i explained to the gals all about the "
sukhoi locked youi" wooop wooop alarm
phf: soviet joke. americans purchase a
sukhoi airplane from soviets, comes in parts, there's assembly instructions though. so they go through the process, result is a working tractor. wtf. they break it down, assemble again, tractor again. so they call russian, "wtf, tried assembling all we get is a tractor", su responds "please read fine print, `the product needs to be finalized with a judicial application of hammer and file`"
