pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo can you check the qntra spam filter for a comment of mine ? i think it got scarfed.
pete_dushenski: twas last night something
pete_dushenski: sometime*
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell jurov thanks for the coinbr fix !
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: ahaha. if "meets obama" clocktard comes back a decade later onboard a plane that slams into the wh and kills the us president, i WILL write the "obama trained a future terrorist" article.
mircea_popescu: and this isn't that far fetched, either : us is just about due for a dead president.
shinohai: I don't think it's far-fetched either.
pete_dushenski: qatar > mit.
pete_dushenski: middle east > usistan, despite lack of own brass bullets
mircea_popescu: of course, qatar is a reasonably rich, aspirational sort of arab world
mircea_popescu: not exactly pakistani
shinohai: Also, mircea_popescu added a new term to my vocabulary: clocktard
mircea_popescu: did you see the clock the kid made ? ☟︎

pete_dushenski: thus, lesbians and chicks in wet t-shirts !
shinohai: Any other kid with half a brain would have written a cool clock script in python and showed his teacher.

mircea_popescu: they'll probably conquer athens before qatar.
pete_dushenski: now there's a bet
shinohai: s'ok Putin got it under control. He'll squash them like they did Afghanistan in the 80's
mircea_popescu: the LAST thing they want is rich people who are also muslims dislinkign them.
pete_dushenski: i'd take even money on qatar falling before athens, if anyone's interested
mircea_popescu: how to be measured ?

asciilifeform: but yes, artwork.
phf: so what are you asking for whole orchestra?
asciilifeform: difficult question. because i cannot offer ANY guarantee that it will survive shipping.
asciilifeform: in fact, i can pretty much guarantee that it will ~not~...
phf: doesn't need to, i will pick it up from the door
phf: assuming it's in DC
asciilifeform: hm. if the keyboard thing is any indicator, i now have nfi what the thing is worth.
BingoBoingo: <phf> assuming it's in DC << Awe, I though I would get a chance to open Bingo's courier service.
phf: delivery by dc bike messenger
asciilifeform: and i have yet to meet with anybody who really grasped what he'd be getting into, buying this machine.
BingoBoingo: phf: Nah, motor courier service operating out of the central US, but if you are closer...
asciilifeform: especially now that dks has run short of parts (as, by all indications, he has, or we wouldn't be having this conversation..)
phf: asciilifeform: well twenex was selling a handful of ivory's for ~5000k, so a 3620 with it's power requirements and refrigerator size will be some fraction of that
asciilifeform: i see 9.5k
asciilifeform: wonder how he intends to ship it
asciilifeform: less of an issue, interestingly, with the xl1200

assbot: Logged on 20-10-2015 23:50:06; mircea_popescu: If you agree with this, then you have to also face the fact that Wolf didn't consciously plan, "no matter what happens in this interview, I'm going to cover it up"-- it was a reflex, an instinct. Get a drink, think about this: a reporter's instinct wasn't to go for the truth, but to go with the scripted story.
asciilifeform: what is a weather balloon? how much does it lift ?
asciilifeform: is this quantity within an order of magnitude of what a boy (even a very small boy) weights
asciilifeform: and did anyone so much as bother to consider it?
BingoBoingo: phf: Ah. Entire appeal of Bingo's occasional courier service would largely be derived from proximity to US highways 50 and 40 facillitating broad range of lateral movement.
phf: could target ebay sales of oversized, hard to deliver items
BingoBoingo: Well that and carrying the payload the comfort only a reliable yet non-descript family sedan can provide.
BingoBoingo: phf: Qntra takes too much of my time for that.
BingoBoingo: Need the trifecta of over weight item, hard to insure, actually demands delicate treatment beyond UPS or USPS can provide ☟︎
phf: might as well transport drugs
BingoBoingo: Nah, seizure risk is too much along with risk to qntra from lockup time
BingoBoingo: But endangered computing equipment, might be a niche market
asciilifeform: problem is not simply that it is oversized.
asciilifeform: but that it is a ming vase.
BingoBoingo: The serious problem
BingoBoingo: delicate
asciilifeform: as in, if it breaks, it cannot be meaningfully repaired (unlike the vase!) and certainly not replaced
BingoBoingo: Which is Y no UPS
asciilifeform: buyer would have to also understand that the thing is full of electrolytic caps, circa 1986; and there is a mechanical hdd
asciilifeform: which 1) uses incompatible, unreadable on any modern system whatsoever, electrical interface
asciilifeform: 2) cannot be reinstalled (i don't have the tapes, or the tape drive) even if you could obtain another.
asciilifeform: for a while i researched the protocol and tried to build a solid-state replacement, got nowhere, too much like actual work
asciilifeform: the really fragile part is the console.
asciilifeform: (it is not a mere display monitor, but actually its own - 16-bit! computer.)
asciilifeform: connects to the box itself with a thick triax cable ☟︎
asciilifeform: (the machine is loud, as in vacuum cleaner, so idea was that it lives in its own room, console - in a quiet, distant one.)
BingoBoingo wishes more contemporary machines weren't afraid to be loud in the name of cooling. ☟︎
phf: requires one of those futuristic syd mead houses, with an office room overlooking alpha centauri landscape, that's where you put the console. the computer is in the basement, calculating landing trajectories, for the private spaceship of your visiting friends
mircea_popescu: IF spaceships ever become a thing, then therefore surface living will be sort-of like mountain living today.
mircea_popescu: no sane people wanted to live in the plain, for all of history, until machinery.
mircea_popescu: it's prohibitively expensive and also nonsensical to land a spaceship. and so...
mircea_popescu: live in orbit, visit the surface like you visit the seaside today.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no sane people wanted to live in the plain, for all of history, until machinery. << On a hill by a river or coast has always been and forever will be ideal on earth
mircea_popescu: doesn't build too good cities tho.
BingoBoingo: Of course. Good people though only keep a townhouse in the city
phf: mircea_popescu: well, yes, in the above narrative it's a summer house, you go there if you want to be alone and study migration patterns of some quirky local species, which is your hobby. all the action is in the orbit
BingoBoingo: St Louis tried the city on a hill thing and only got Ferguson and a bunch of outlying areas that flood from time to time
mircea_popescu: i suppose in the south of the future the masters live in orbit and the slaves roam below. to be abducted now and again for sexual services or w/e. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: And further in the future quality slut breeders get a place in orbit without the good view.
kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2015#1304224 > good cooling doesnt have to be loud ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 21-10-2015 01:02:21; *: BingoBoingo wishes more contemporary machines weren't afraid to be loud in the name of cooling.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: It does if you need to cool all the power
BingoBoingo: Sure one can quietly cool even a great machine.
BingoBoingo: But how does one quietly cool a monster
kakobrekla: with a monster heatsink
BingoBoingo: Sure, but if the monster wants to idle at 300C you need moar than a heatsink. I'm disappointed there aren't many if any new chips like this
kakobrekla: nah.
mircea_popescu: temperature is not really the problem for a heatsink.
mircea_popescu: (think about it - temperature helps its function, that's how it works).
mircea_popescu: heat debit might be, maybe.
BingoBoingo: At some point gotta bring in a fan
kakobrekla: hot air will raise creating some draft
BingoBoingo: But if air heats faster, there's gotta be a limit before you bring in the noise to bend air to your will
mircea_popescu: the only time you have to fan it is when the thing is INTOLERANT of temperature. the higher temperature it can tolerate the less fan you need.
BingoBoingo: base materials gotta have melting points
BingoBoingo: Also a wouldn't a 250 GHz chip cooled by having a small jet engine intake pull away the hot air be cool? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I mean an oil cooling system that burn the oil (Jet A only)
phf: new ricer fad, how loud your system is, neighbors call cops, "bro, i'm compling gentoo with -O10"
BingoBoingo: Seriously, except you tell the Po-Po you are curing cancer by donating your spare cycles
phf: verifying gavinblocks
mircea_popescu: if you move the air fast enough it will actually add heat.
BingoBoingo: That too
BingoBoingo: To both previous non join/part lines actually
BingoBoingo: Randiant heat from the engine also a hazard.

We also show that accounting for performance has important consequences for gender g
