punkman: this Levine guy isn't so bad, even has footnotes

punkman: "I like Institutional Investor's boldness in picking "five hedge fund managers who are likely to deliver market-beating returns over the next 25 years." Who even manages a hedge fund for 25 years? If you deliver market-beating returns for 22 years, come on, retire, you are already fantastically rich"

mircea_popescu: ;p; fpptmptes

mircea_popescu: lol footnotes*

mircea_popescu: and nobody to date ran anything for 25 years

punkman: "You'll never deter Ponzi schemers; the psychology of Ponzi'ing -- either "I am an invincible genius" or "I've lost my investors money and have no choice but to Ponzi my way back into the black" -- sort of precludes deterrence."

punkman: "The best bet is to try to convince people not to invest all their money in undiversified opaque get-rich-quick schemes and, come, on, this is America."

mircea_popescu: quite.

mircea_popescu: there's no "deterring"

punkman: only killing

mircea_popescu: not really.

mircea_popescu: it's like "deterring" black mold in your bathroom.

asciilifeform tired of drowned hardware many years ago, won't touch water cooling now

mircea_popescu: time to sue her ? :D

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you should prolly look into it again. you thinkl moore law's a big deal, give a look at plastics.

mircea_popescu: if an abstract "quality" value could be broadly associated, it went up a degree of magnitude each decade since 1960

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'correct' way to do it is to have an all-copper loop, soldered joints - like refrigerator. but, for some reason, no one does this.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's the friction joints (hose to barb) that end up slowly leaking.

mircea_popescu: some miners do it.

asciilifeform: the photos i saw were of immersive oil cooling (think transformer booth)

artifexd: asciilifeform: That's exactly what happened. One of the connections decided to call it quits. It's what I get for using barbs and not securing it.

mircea_popescu: artifexd you know you could just glue it on the outside.

artifexd: I prefer zip ties

asciilifeform: artifexd: mine had hose clamps on all joints. theory - clamping deforms the barb, you leak anyway.

artifexd: Ever had problems with the compression connectors?

asciilifeform: artifexd: there's probably a golden mean here. a real 'saint' with a dynamometer wrench probably could've tightened the clamps exactly enough.

artifexd: I need to find a single video card that can drive all my monitors. Then I can get rid of the water cooling.

mircea_popescu: artifexd why do you prefer zip ties over say caulk ?

artifexd: Zip ties are cheap, clean, provide uniform pressure, and are easy to remove with no mess.

mircea_popescu: but they work on the same principle as the barb does.

mircea_popescu: you want convergence of principles.

mircea_popescu: (this neatly dovetails in stan's "deform barbs" problem above : if you're building an army you don't want a 2nd cavalry, to argue with your 1st. you want an infantry too)

artifexd: The work in conduction with the barb. The barb provides interior pressure against the tube. The zip tie provides exterior pressure.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: part of the problem is the abysmal, 'consumer' quality of the available thermoblocks (pumbed heat sinks that fit particular cpu, gpu, etc) - not one, afaik, to this day, comes with even threaded connectors

asciilifeform: *plumbed

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but if they're metal... you can thread it

artifexd: Every one I has is threaded

artifexd: That's how you connect the barbs. Screw 'em in.

asciilifeform: artifexd: neat. these weren't available a decade ago.

mircea_popescu: artifexd imo the interior/exterior distinction is spurious. both work the same way really.

asciilifeform: the ones i had were machined copper encased in a plastic water jacket, with plastic barbs (non-removable)

artifexd: Ew

artifexd: Most decent water blocks don't come with connectors at all. Just threaded holes.

asciilifeform: artifexd: then the answer is clear. 'teflon' tape on the threads, connectors glued (or welded, if copper hose) to the tube.

mircea_popescu feels vindicated

artifexd: I don't think I would use copper tubes. My configuration changes too often.

asciilifeform was disappointed with water cooled machine even while it worked, on account of it still needing a few fans to operate: various parts for which no water block was available (chipset, mosfets, and power supply of that period)

artifexd: Waterblocks are available for just about everything now. It can take some looking. They aren't cheap. But they work well.

asciilifeform: artifexd: any that guarantee operation with 100% hermetically sealed case? (no case fans)

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 4 @ 0.19100007 = 0.764 BTC [-] {3}

artifexd: The heat has to go somewhere

asciilifeform: pc mobo is encrusted with items like mosfets that presume circulation of air

asciilifeform: my sole objective was to get a silent machine

asciilifeform: failed.

artifexd: Ah. Yeah. Blocks for motherboards are available. They cover the north bridge/south bridge and the power caps.

artifexd: My ears aren't near as sensitive as yours so I'm good with a few slow moving fans on the radiator.

asciilifeform: artifexd: i used a 'toyota' radiator.

artifexd: A guy I work with used a car radiator and an aquarium.

artifexd: Ugly as hell, but it seemed to work for him.

artifexd: My system is all contained in the case.

asciilifeform: from chemistry supply

artifexd: Ah

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> pc mobo is encrusted with items like mosfets that presume circulation of air << not really. mostly actually cool through the metal of the pcb

mircea_popescu: if you keep the board cool they'll be fine

asciilifeform: now if only pcb had a 'water jacket' like engine block...

mircea_popescu: if you cool the bridges it'll cool through there.

asciilifeform: heuristic: if mosfet has even a small 'hedgehog', the board designer thought pcb trace cooling to be insufficient.

artifexd: Unless it's an Asus board. Then the designers thought it would look cool.

mircea_popescu: i'm telling you, they'll be fine. you're thinking in terms of air movement removing heat, but even in a sealed case,

mircea_popescu: you still have heat conductivity.

asciilifeform: the box in question would croak after 48 hrs. or so if the case was not ventilated.

mircea_popescu: as long as you keep most of the board cool, mostfets can't make enough heat to cook themselves.

mircea_popescu: well, was this the toyota radiator thing in the image ?

asciilifeform: water line ran through two cpus, disk jacket, gpu. there was still some air circulation from power supply (conventional air cooling.) but sans case fan, machine would croak reliably.

asciilifeform: the mosfets did not cook themselves - internal thermal trip. you get a shutdown.

mircea_popescu: how hot was the radiator getting ?

asciilifeform: about 40C, on a warm day.

asciilifeform: considering that it was designed to dissipate 100kw - reasonable.

mircea_popescu: were you cooling just the proc ? or bridges too ?

mircea_popescu: a, no, see, that's the key element here.

asciilifeform: idea was, bridges would be cooled by air drawn upwards by power supply fan.

mircea_popescu: <artifexd> Ah. Yeah. Blocks for motherboards are available. They cover the north bridge/south bridge and the power caps. <<<

mircea_popescu: nah.

mircea_popescu: you basically had no cold source on the pcb. all the things you cooled were meanwhile heating towards it.

asciilifeform: that box would have probably lasted forever if it never had to be moved.

asciilifeform: if i were to attempt it again, i'd probably just machine a copper plinth in which the mobo can live, upside-down, with fins on bottom side.

asciilifeform: if plinth is large enough, no need for water.

mircea_popescu: the one similar thing i saw was purpose made copper tray filled with thermosilicone, on which pcb rested.

mircea_popescu: (no cpu involved, this wasn't a computer)

asciilifeform: this is SOP for large rectifiers, etc.

asciilifeform: you get a 'sarcophagus' similar to the one pictured in the $20k oscilloscope film.

asciilifeform: that machine served me through all of uni & a bit longer. RIP 'humanoid', 2001-2007. (named after line from soviet film, approximately 'humanoid rockets through the sky, screaming out that school's a lie')

asciilifeform: freebsd 4.

mircea_popescu: i still have board/cpu assemblies from the 90s

asciilifeform: likewise. and '80s...

mircea_popescu: amusing how shitty psus became, incidentally. the originals usualy last > a decade. the replacements, maybe even 5 years.

mircea_popescu: then the replacements 2 if you're lucky.

asciilifeform: one can still achieve the 10+ life - by removing all chinese electrolytic caps and replacing with normal ones

asciilifeform: or, alternatively, purchasing a unit where there never were chinese caps (difficult now - the chicoms have taken to mimicking the japanese markings)

asciilifeform: at some point the japanese parts will no longer get shipped in (won't pass the geiger at the container crane!) and then we'll really be phucked.

asciilifeform: benkay: terrible idea. just like touch screen keyboards (or that israeli firm that made a 'laser' keyboard drawn on table.)

asciilifeform: why does this crud appear again and again? no one heard of 'gorilla arm syndrome' and the like?

asciilifeform: fingers need mechanical feedback

asciilifeform: (not only for pleasure, but to absorb impact.)

asciilifeform: people seem intent on discovering new classes of 'repetitive' injury.

mircea_popescu: benkay paradoxically, yes.

mircea_popescu: try punching as hard as you can in the air, see what happens.

mircea_popescu: same mechanics apply to finger movement too.

mircea_popescu: im toying with the general idea of distributed effort to destroy social media. this'd be an experiment in that sense.
