asciilifeform: in other noose, https://hi-tech.mail.ru/news/elbruce-prices << supposedly, retail, ~2300 usd
asciilifeform: still not found any sign of reseller who would actually take an order
mircea_popescu: it helps confidence that it's misspelled.
asciilifeform: top inglisch, yes
asciilifeform: interestingly there's ~0 material in english on subj ( other than 3rd hand re-chewed crud ) -- period
asciilifeform: thing is very much not oriented for foreign market.

mircea_popescu: apparently apple could buy russia ; but icbc, which not only "could" but ACRTUALLY BUYS america (not the fucking us shithole, THE WHOLE CONTINENT), that dun exist, never happened, etc.

asciilifeform always wondered what somebody gotta have in his crankcase instead of brains, to run selinux ☟︎
mircea_popescu: dod mandated yo!
asciilifeform: you'd be amazed at what gets mandated, aha
asciilifeform: and where.
asciilifeform: still a bit of a puzzler, who ~voluntarily~ uses the thing. 'why do you have an incense burner in your house?' 'they're required at church' 'yes but...'
mircea_popescu: hey. if security were an objective state, trompi wouldn't have centered the software of females around it.
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform learned that a very recent chinese fpga board : AX516 ( http://esys.ir/images/img_Item/1158/Files/AX516_usermanual.pdf ) includes RTL8211EG , GB nic !! and cheapo.
mircea_popescu: was that blobless ?
asciilifeform: this might sound like a snore, but isn't : thing is wires as 'port', rather than as bus
asciilifeform: *wired
mircea_popescu: so what, no dma ?
asciilifeform: in this configuration it does not in fact matter what is inside the nic (if you think about it)
asciilifeform: aha
mircea_popescu: o.O
asciilifeform: not unless author of fpga circuit chooses to arrange it pc-style (and why!)
mircea_popescu: this is a major development.
asciilifeform: they sell a 1GB and 2GB dram version
mircea_popescu: see alf, I TOLD YOU teh chinese will break it. did i tell you ?
asciilifeform: they didn't break anything, it's still a stock xilinx chip
asciilifeform: but major step ahead in laziness, now i dun have to draw this board
asciilifeform: to prototype xilinx+GB
asciilifeform: ( layout for high-speed fpga is a royal bitch )
mircea_popescu: the whole dispute re theory of future of computing, years ago, was you making the (otherwise very solid) case for nsa/tivo-ization, and me saying "i betcher the chinese will break it, inadvertently".
mircea_popescu: and you were "they're dumb as rocks". which is true, they are, there's no dumber beast than the asian. nevertheless -- to break it inadvertently they don't need deliberate, directed effort. they just need to be numerous and take themselves seriously. which they are.
asciilifeform: dun get quite so hot an' bothered, it's still made of traditional xilinx (which needs the massive toolchain) and still contains sdram ( for which no controller other than xilinx's , works ) but this board is actually useful -- in comparison with my existing aging 'ml501' ( as pictured in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=702 , http://www.loper-os.org/?p=797 )
mircea_popescu: no no the sky is falling!!1
asciilifeform: summary of noose piece is 'xilinx+GBnic is nao cheap, who wants -- can get'
asciilifeform: and handy demo of the principle 'sanely hooked up nic is harmless regardless of how boobytrapped, use port not bus'
mircea_popescu: goes right back to the tmsr principle of security through modularization.
asciilifeform: a board entirely like this, but minus all of the superfluous peripherals, and with sram in place of dram, would be quite spiffy ( i've a half-drawn one here, but it sits and waits for its hour )
asciilifeform: ( theoretically -- a comp needs only fpga, a few nics, some memory, and a means of hooking up hdd )
asciilifeform: even the hdd is optional

asciilifeform: oh neato
mircea_popescu: though something tells me you'll say exactly the same re this as re the other model : http://trilema.com/2017/the-failure-mode-of-abundance/#comment-122198 ie "there's no time to consider ACTUAL meaningful models, all we have time for is nonsense. where's that happy meal ?!?!"

mircea_popescu: it's an idea that sounds great in theory, and works ok while it's new, because only golda meirs and margaret thatchers make it in. but on the long term, the fundamental whorish substrate of the female, biologically conditioned to trade cocksucking for "safety", surfaces and fucks everything up.

diana_coman: I find funny all the talk of no-speak, what
mircea_popescu: yeah, but it's only funny until someone loses an eye. to wit, suppose your job was to find some woman qualified to speak -- other than you. preferably, 21 something, pr pisi.
mircea_popescu: ya know ?
shinohai: Perhaps because diana_coman is equal to any 10 other women I know.
shinohai: (combined)
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, not sure I'd have less trouble finding a man really; I get what you mean though
mircea_popescu: hey, im not much in favour of putting "men" of the sort in positions of power either.
diana_coman: shinohai, thanks!
mircea_popescu: whole "position of power" bs is so much statal crap. but on the positive side, it's definitely wringing itself out of existence, as finely exemplified by teh "tangerine in chief" etc. what exact power is it ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno why the pantsuits were so aggro re trump's twitter account. whole fucking JOB is little more than a pretext for putting "trump official" on your twitter.
mircea_popescu: what else does it do ?

mircea_popescu: his bitch yello.
mircea_popescu: blows dat dick like statal "positions of power" meant something.
trinque: my lady friend put it to me thus, that woman can behave like a man in certain realms, but often means cutting off a tit, like the (possibly apocryphal) amazon woman archer thing.
diana_coman: tbh I am not sure I see much to really distinguish this sort of "it makes me happy" from the "mud makes me happy"
trinque: generalizations that broad being easily falsified and so on
mircea_popescu: wait which happy ?
diana_coman: obama-happy, trump-happy
mircea_popescu: obama i understand. basically, tiganu' satului elected mayor. he's gonna be fucking thrilled, look ma, i'm on top of the world.
mircea_popescu: ro commies did exactly that sort of thing also, back in the early days.
mircea_popescu: trinque i suppose the whole amazon loped tit thing was commentary re "stop being so damned nurturing" and the whole lacedemonian cultural shock.
diana_coman: trinque, perhaps; I don't quite buy this cutting off a tit but I can't say I spent a lot of time on it as such
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, mama lu' stefan cel mare? lmao
trinque: diana_coman: girl's also part cherokee; apparently they'd solve the cognitive dissonance by saying "ah, her? she's got a man's spirit!" and leave it at that
