BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Working on that with cazalla
asciilifeform: aha
decimation: asciilifeform: I was thinking about a 'home chip fab'
decimation: obviously modern lithography ain't gonna work
decimation: not to mention the provision of masks, etc
asciilifeform: the need for a steerable beam process is pretty clear
decimation: the beam would spray 'dope' in the appropriate spots?
asciilifeform: that'd be the extant 'ion beam workstation'
asciilifeform: not useful for our purposes
asciilifeform: as it demands high vacuum, among other finicky and expensive things
decimation: what if an actual fab created a grid of transistors, and a home laser could 'blow' the appropriate areas for the wanted logic
asciilifeform: this exists
asciilifeform: called antifuse fpga
asciilifeform: sucks for exactly the same reasons as ordinary fpga
asciilifeform: but sucks even harder
decimation: I'm sure it does
decimation: but we are talking chip printing
asciilifeform: that isn't chip printing
asciilifeform: that's existing idiocy.
asciilifeform: anyone who wants - open catalogue, buy right now.
decimation: I guess my point is that it seems to be science fiction to me
asciilifeform: welcome to propagation delays 100s of mSec long. and idiot proprietary toolchains
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 198233 @ 0.00044605 = 88.4218 BTC [+] {5}
asciilifeform: decimation: thus far, it is.
asciilifeform: no one has yet suggested a practical means of doing it.
asciilifeform: that i know of.
asciilifeform: the only thing that seems certain imho is that starting from existing concept of ic fab is a dead end ☟︎
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 24267 @ 0.00044887 = 10.8927 BTC [+]
decimation: that I agree with
asciilifeform: probably needs entirely new chemistry.
decimation: I don't see how one could 'shrink' a fab into anything smaller than it is (as it currently exists)
asciilifeform: that's the wrong thought.
asciilifeform: we don't necessarily need to 'shrink the classical fab'
asciilifeform: but to somehow lay out electrical logic elements at the customary densities without resort to a $1B factory.
decimation: the alternative would be to have some kind of technology that would enable the precise manipulation of atoms at scale
asciilifeform: good thermodynamic reasons to conclude that it is not doable in the general case
asciilifeform: (resolves to 'maxwell's daemon')
decimation: then again, I can envision a tradition fab becoming cheaper
asciilifeform: as i pointed out earlier,
asciilifeform: none of the items that comprise most of the expense have changed since day one.
decimation: no
decimation: they get more expensive, depending on your inflation factor
asciilifeform: aha.
decimation: high power euv light source isn't cheap
asciilifeform: high vacuum, for instance, is still achieved in much the same ways as in 1930s
asciilifeform: the energy required to melt Si is ever the same
asciilifeform: (but costlier, as decimation points out, with inflation)
asciilifeform: etc.
decimation: there have been incremental improvements
decimation: but not the orders of magnitude needed
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: nothing that threatens to put it in your friendly local illegal machine shop, much less your kitchen.
decimation: no, that would require a 'cheapening factor' of around 10000
asciilifeform for one would rather not have HF in his kitchen
decimation: lol
decimation: it's good fer ur bones
decimation: asciilifeform: that was a neat link about ada
decimation: I wasn't aware that it was still going strong in non-defense areas
asciilifeform: i've learned that there is not actually a good substitute for ada, as of yet.
asciilifeform: as in, something that actually provides the same functionality
asciilifeform: without the 'bondage & discipline' stylistic aspects
decimation: the trouble is that it seems the real toolchains used by these projects are all $$$ commercial
asciilifeform: nope.
asciilifeform: gnat is both widely used and gpl
asciilifeform: (one of the conditions for the ancient usg mandate establishing ada 'foundation' is that the product must be gpl'ed)
decimation: I guess the difference is the 'usg certificate'
asciilifeform: the certificate has nothing to do with ada per se

decimation: no it's the real time os I think
asciilifeform: at any rate, all of the 'standard library' is public
asciilifeform: and (iirc) lgpl
asciilifeform: there are proprietary ada systems, yes. i have not been able to learn who uses them, and for what.
asciilifeform: but this being one of the only two programming languages in existence which are -standardized in their entirety-, in principle there is no reason - aside from retardation - to use a proprietary ada
asciilifeform: - actually - i can think of one
asciilifeform: gnat/gcc lacks support for some of the more exotic chips used

decimation: wouldn't you put it in the 'algol' family?

asciilifeform: platinum toilet.
asciilifeform: ^ very interesting link, one of the designers spills various technical beans
asciilifeform: with napkin sketches, etc
asciilifeform: either a 'loose lips' or - more likely - ancient disinfo reworked for www
asciilifeform: (an american national sport was, at one time, to 'turn loose' mildly buggy military w4r3z for ru folks to find)
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] but to somehow lay out electrical logic elements at the customary densities without resort to a $1B factory. << for the record, this is a hobble.
ben_vulpes: customary densities are a product of red queen dynamics.
asciilifeform: customary - at least something like an intel 4004
asciilifeform: not speaking of 'pentium' here!
ben_vulpes: if the goal is "compute by the yard", make more yards, not smaller compute.
decimation: ah "Batteries: There was a battery at the top in the G&C section and also used to power stage III, a battery in the middle stage II and at the bottom for stage I. There was an umbilical cable at top and bottom, from G&C and stage I, to provide silo “battery” power for checkout."
decimation: apparently the gyros operated continuously while in the silo to reduce launch time
decimation: I wonder how often they failed
asciilifeform: decimation: there is a legend about this
asciilifeform: on ru side
asciilifeform: that it was not deemed economical to use jewelled bearing, as americans did, and the oil of a certain inedible bean (forget which) was employed as lubricant
asciilifeform: which mostly worked
asciilifeform: but couldn't spin continuously
asciilifeform: had to spin up 'when politics were hot' or the like.
decimation: heh
decimation: and then replaced after some operating time presumably
decimation: or at least, re-greased
mod6: wow, this thing is really flying
mod6: 141k
ben_vulpes: mod6: what are you running tonight?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: re 4004: i'm imagining devices at least 10x that scale.
ben_vulpes: imagining -> expecting
asciilifeform: 10x or 1/10
ben_vulpes: 10x.
asciilifeform: so glorified ttl ?
ben_vulpes: perhaps of that scale.
mod6: v0.5.3 base + patches { 1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 } + openssl 1.0.1g with a modified portotronic build script - all statically linked libs
asciilifeform: congrats mod6 !

ben_vulpes: wd
mod6: ty
mod6: we'll see if it passes 160001
decimation: asciilifeform: it will be interesting to see how your 'macrofab' order works out
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: will post photos, etc
decimation: did they charge reasonable prices for the non-'house' parts?
asciilifeform: anyone's bet whether they'll ship on schedule, and, if so, exactly -what-
asciilifeform: mostly
asciilifeform: they skin you on pcb
decimation: did you end up using eagle or kicad?
asciilifeform: eagle
asciilifeform: kicad is unusable
asciilifeform: this is an old design

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: minuteman << did you ever read into the 'amateur' rocketry group with whom i dorked around for a while in undergrad?
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform did not have the honour of partaking in any such thing
ben_vulpes: 'twas a fine introduction to what could be done in a garage without the military overhead.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i very much thought of it when i found that link
asciilifeform: think of how it could have went with modern cnc
ben_vulpes: we made our own spinning fin cans at one point! garage bearing races of... 0.2m diameter!
asciilifeform: neato
ben_vulpes: out of hardened steel no less
ben_vulpes: that we hardened ourselves
asciilifeform: i still think it's odd that the americans never really discovered electrolytic milling
asciilifeform: where it doesn't matter one lick whether material is hardened
ben_vulpes: we just cut slowly.
asciilifeform: and expensively
ben_vulpes: meh.
ben_vulpes: 'twasn't *that* expensive.
asciilifeform: good cutters cost a fortune
asciilifeform: even for (what may be) world's smallest lathe
ben_vulpes: there are a few different hardnesses one can achieve.
ben_vulpes: the hack was finding the sweet spot in race/bearing hardnesses.
asciilifeform: so far i've been able to stick to nonferrous.
ben_vulpes: carbides?
asciilifeform: working materials, that is
ben_vulpes: oh.
asciilifeform: lol
ben_vulpes: yes well that does make life easier haw
ben_vulpes: al's fucking butter
asciilifeform: i did learn the hard way what it does to a grinding wheel
ben_vulpes: hahahahahahaha
ben_vulpes: mhm.
ben_vulpes: hey at least you're not trying to cut steel with diamond bits.
asciilifeform: srsly, you go & try apprenticing with no master.
ben_vulpes: *foomp*
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i did.
ben_vulpes: for at least a whole year.
asciilifeform regards C dissolving in Fe as an elementary fact
asciilifeform: that ought to be obvious to anyone who walks into the workshop
ben_vulpes: someone took pity on me in the warehouse as i worked my way through quarter inch plate with a hand cutter and provided me with an acetylene torch.
ben_vulpes: made the quarter.
asciilifeform: lol
ben_vulpes must piss on each and every fence
ben_vulpes: just you know
ben_vulpes: to find the electric ones
ben_vulpes: but hey at least i made my waste oil furnace
ben_vulpes: there was a chinese restaurant up the way that had a drum of cooking oil
ben_vulpes: free heat!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: before i fall asleep, i remembered to tell, that there actually were 'integrated circuits' in ussr that were built in the way you suggest ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i suggested a method?
asciilifeform: out of uncommonly small physically-discrete transistors
mod6: 166k
ben_vulpes: mm ah
ben_vulpes: almost!
asciilifeform: legend also has it that one of the items secretly salvaged by h. hughes's 'glomar explorer' mega-ship was a collection of such circuits
decimation: asciilifeform: were they individually packaged?
asciilifeform: the transistors ?
asciilifeform: i do not presently know.
asciilifeform: but my understanding is that they were placed by hand.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i dreamt once of coercing bugs into placing such devices.
ben_vulpes: i was taking classes in chaos theory, control theory and installing machines for a biologist at the time.
asciilifeform: what kid hasn't considered ants, pheromone trail computer.
ben_vulpes looks back at his work history in wonder
asciilifeform: !s ant colony
assbot: 4 results for 'ant colony' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=ant+colony

mod6: ah! yes.
mod6: well gentlemen, that's all for me tonight. ima let it run, see how it does overnight. will report more tomorrow.

mircea_popescu: that'd ALSO give a boost. especially to news at 11.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-02-2015#1023575 << and zher rather than zhis is obviously because the argument isn't what it's being presented as, but something quite else entirely. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 14:49:27; nubbins`: Save us from confusing grammar such as “everyone must have their books.” Make it instead “everyone must have zher books.” It then becomes clear that each person must have one’s own book and not the books of all the others. It is also shorter and less awkward than having to say “his or her” all the time.

PeterL: just did a "digital job interview" with BASF, consisted of just recording a video of me answering the typical interview questions.
PeterL: what is the world coming to when you talk to a computer instead of a person when interviewing for a job?
jurov: the computer asked the questions?
lobbes: after one of my last interviews I almost would've preferred that; the dude was so dejected it was depressing
PeterL: yes, well, they were printed on the screen, and I talk into the camera to answer
PeterL: if the guy interviewing you is dejected, doesn't that tell you something about the company?
danielpbarron: job interview should better take place on irc
lobbes: exactly why I didn't take it lol
lobbes: which I guess you can't glean from a computer, so..
danielpbarron: they get to pretent they are important by making you apply with an automation
PeterL: a couple jobs ago, when I interviewed the guy grabbed a random coworker and asked "don't you like working here", they were like "ummmmmmm, sure?" that should have been a sign, but I took job anyway
PeterL: and I hate the question "how much did your last job pay, and what do you expect to get paid"? Are they going to throw out my resume if I say too high a number? Obviously they won't go above the number I say, right?
PeterL: "I made X before, but I expect to be paid 2X (and I would take the job if you offer me 1/2 X)"

trinque: I'll just let it run unless anyone has a suggestion on how to make it hurry up
danielpbarron: although my experience in that regard is limited to pogo->pogo
danielpbarron: the bottleneck there is probably not ethernet speed
trinque: probably disk IO eh?
danielpbarron: well yeah disk IO is the bottleneck for one syncing with the network; i think it's another matter when one is trying to seed *while* still syncing
danielpbarron: maybe also disk IO
