truffles | theyve got drones now | [00:00] |
asciilifeform | i attended an interesting talk once by a concussion expert | [00:00] |
the20year | And still want boots on the ground, so.... | [00:00] |
the20year | Drones can always be defeated | [00:00] |
truffles | they look intimidating | [00:00] |
truffles | the massive ones with legs | [00:00] |
the20year | Oh well | [00:00] |
mircea_popescu | From the foundation of the city till the reign of the Emperor Gratian, the foot wore cuirasses and helmets. But negligence and sloth having by degrees introduced a total relaxation of discipline, the soldiers began to think their armor too heavy, as they seldom put it on. They first requested leave from the Emperor to lay aside the cuirass and afterwards the helmet. In consequence of this, our troops in their engagemen | [00:00] |
mircea_popescu | ts with the Goths were often overwhelmed with their showers of arrows. Nor was the necessity of obliging the infantry to resume their cuirasses and helmets discovered, notwithstanding such repeated defeats, which brought on the destruction of so many great cities. Troops, defenseless and exposed to all the weapons of the enemy, are more disposed to fly than fight. What can be expected from a foot-archer without cuirass | [00:00] |
mircea_popescu | or helmet, who cannot hold at once his bow and shield; or from the ensigns whose bodies are naked, and who cannot at the same time carry a shield and the colors? The foot soldier finds the weight of a cuirass and even of a helmet intolerable. This is because he is so seldom exercised and rarely puts them on. | [00:00] |
asciilifeform | he had a computer model which explained why certain - helmeted - men ended up with brain damage, while grunts in the same vehicle, sans helmet, didn't. | [00:00] |
asciilifeform | the helmet focused the shock wave. | [00:01] |
asciilifeform | not that armour is worthless - simply that reality is a complicated place. | [00:02] |

truffles | or we're not that advance yet | [00:02] |
mircea_popescu | reality may be a complicated place, but the tactical utility of printed guns is still purely imaginary. | [00:02] |
the20year | correct | [00:02] |

mircea_popescu | even if you get them to shoot safely, you're far far away from them shooting energetically enough to count | [00:03] |
the20year | The real use for 3d printed guns (in the US at least) is to make ones that utilize the homebuilding law so they're not on paperwork | [00:03] |
asciilifeform | printed crossbow could conceivably be of some use. | [00:03] |
the20year | Why is printing important? | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | it's much easier to make a crossvbow than to print one | [00:03] |
benkay | i am more convinced than i was an hour ago on the printable guns thing | [00:03] |
the20year | tabletop CnC is cheap and you can make just about any firearm you want with one | [00:03] |
asciilifeform | some people seems to fetishize the process of 'push a button without thinking' | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | i could make you one within the hour, and teach you to make one in a day | [00:03] |
the20year | and lathes and milling machines have existed for 100 years | [00:03] |
asciilifeform | which is why 3d printer is a mass topic at all | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform ya well those people also have nil tactical utility-value. | [00:04] |
the20year | Think about it , the first belt fed machine gun was made in the late 1800s, do you think that the technology to make it has magically disappeared? | [00:04] |
asciilifeform | in afghanistan, in africa, blacksmiths build perfectly good ak clones with hand tools. | [00:04] |
asciilifeform | not rocket surgery here. | [00:04] |
the20year | COrrect | [00:04] |
assbot | [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 4927 @ 0.00296834 = 14.625 BTC [+] {13} | [00:05] |
asciilifeform | modern ammunition, on the other hand, requires industry. | [00:05] |
the20year | How so | [00:05] |
mircea_popescu | you can mix your own powder and make your own bullets just fine | [00:05] |
asciilifeform | certainly, for a musket. | [00:05] |
mircea_popescu | just reuse the casings :D | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | they did it in fallout! | [00:06] |
the20year | Brass casings are reusable, gunpowder can be made cheaply/effectiely from easy to procure chemcicals , the bullet is the easiest part itself to mak | [00:06] |
the20year | *make | [00:06] |
benkay | yes but xbows | [00:06] |
benkay | i am a convince. | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | the20year he has a point tho, in the sense of brass casingsd are reusable for a finite number of shots. | [00:06] |
asciilifeform | primers are tricky | [00:06] |
the20year | Plus i'm not aware of any country that has made brass cases illegal | [00:06] |
the20year | Not exactly | [00:06] |
the20year | Casings can last over 50 times if you download the ammo, which you will be doing anyway with homemade powder | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | over 50 times is finite. | [00:07] |
the20year | Primers are easy to make, the chemical composition is 150 years old | [00:07] |
assbot | [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 540 @ 0.003 = 1.62 BTC [+] {2} | [00:07] |
the20year | Well, if you want infinite, then just make your own cases | [00:07] |
asciilifeform | if you're in a real bind, you might want to go with liquid propellant and electrical priming. | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | which requires some industry. is all i was saying. | [00:07] |
the20year | Why? conventional powder and primer compound is cheap and effective | [00:07] |
the20year | If by industry you mean a guy with a set of presses and punches, sure | [00:07] |
asciilifeform | cheap is a tricky concept. a plastic fork is cheap, until it isn't, and is entirely unobtainable | [00:08] |
the20year | But remember, during WW2 most ammo in the USSR was being made by giving children the tools to do it | [00:08] |
asciilifeform | if you have to make it with your own hands | [00:08] |
the20year | asciilifeform: $50 will get you enough priming compound to load 10,000 rounds of ammunition | [00:08] |
asciilifeform | today. in a civilized place. | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | ha, since i was going through old tomes, look what a gem i found : | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | "Although these men differ in customs and language from those with whom they have taken refuge, and are unaccustomed too, if I may say so, to the nauseous odor of the bodies and clothing of the barbarians, yet they prefer the strange life they find there to the injustice rife among the Romans." | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | " So you find men passing over everywhere, now to the Goths, now to the Bagaudae, or whatever other barbarians have established their power anywhere ... We call those men rebels and utterly abandoned, whom we ourselves have forced into crime. For by what other causes were they made Bagaudae save by our unjust acts, the wicked decisions of the magistrates, the proscription and extortion of those who have turned the publ | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | ic exactions to the increase of their private fortunes and made the tax indictions their opportunity for plunder?" | [00:09] |
the20year | If this is all theoretical then, just stock up on ammo if you live in the US , or reloading components | [00:09] |
asciilifeform | the20year: this is a tremendously-popular hobby here. | [00:09] |
the20year | what hobby? WHere is here? | [00:10] |
asciilifeform | u.s. | [00:10] |
* | topace (~topace@unaffiliated/topace) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [00:10] |
the20year | Easy to buy ammo and stock up in the US | [00:10] |
the20year | There's absolutely no reason in worrying about all this theoretical stuff, just buy cheap and stack deep if you live here | [00:10] |

asciilifeform | the original discussion was, i think, about what could in principle be made with one's own hands, out of commonly-available raw materials | [00:11] |
the20year | Then your answer is - Submachine guns | [00:11] |
the20year | If you want to go the firearms route | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | the gun is the easy part | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | that was the point | [00:12] |
the20year | Ammo isn't too bad if you want to set up the process ,or just make a muzzleloader | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | muzzle-loading submachine gun? | [00:12] |
the20year | just a muzzleloader | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | point remains, that the military significance of 3d printer is small, while that of the hand file and forge, remains great. | [00:14] |
* | skinnkavaj has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | [00:14] |
the20year | Correct | [00:15] |
the20year | The Sten and PPS-43 were both primarily made by children during ww2, and they are still being used around the world today | [00:15] |
the20year | Both at a cost of just a few dollar (equivilent) at the time | [00:15] |
asciilifeform | right. 'open bolt' schema is easy to manufacture, and for that (among other reasons) is forbidden in the u.s. | [00:16] |
the20year | Up until 1980 :D | [00:16] |
the20year | Technically, if you can find a open-bolt gun that was made prior to 1980 it's still legal | [00:17] |
assbot | [HAVELOCK] [HMF] 30 @ 0.02419965 = 0.726 BTC [+] {3} | [00:17] |
asciilifeform | i recall reading that they're bought and sold rather like famous paintings. | [00:17] |
asciilifeform | with traceable pedigree, etc. | [00:17] |
* | KableKiB (KableKiB@blk-224-166-159.eastlink.ca) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [00:18] |
the20year | It's easy to find and date them based on serial numbers, sales price is quite high though, around $2,000 for a tec-9 or 22 that sold for say $150 prior to 1980 | [00:18] |
asciilifeform | interesting | [00:18] |
the20year | Same with guns manufactured prior to 1898 that aren't considered firearms anymore | [00:19] |
the20year | Even though they might take modern cartridges | [00:19] |
asciilifeform | how did it come about that they aren't considered arms? | [00:19] |
the20year | That's just hte cutoff date | [00:19] |

ozbot | Antique gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | [00:19] |
the20year | I have a 1895 mauser that's an antique....is an absolutely awesome rifle | [00:20] |
asciilifeform | this legal oddity rings a bell. i once wandered into an antique shop near wash. dc, and they had an Ottoman musket for sale. no paperwork, etc. | [00:20] |
* | Menoetius has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | [00:21] |
the20year | Anything prior to 1899 is legal , granted some states have other rules. Sadly the maxim and potato digger aren't covered | [00:21] |
asciilifeform | potato digger? | [00:21] |
the20year | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1895_Colt-Browning_machine_gun | [00:21] |
ozbot | M1895 Colt-Browning machine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | [00:21] |
the20year | First US made machine gun | [00:21] |
truffles | imagine if they had those back in the day | [00:22] |
truffles | line up and spray | [00:22] |
the20year | in what day? | [00:22] |
the20year | They were used from the late 1800s through ww2 | [00:22] |
truffles | 1800s ? | [00:22] |
the20year | Maxim is still being used today | [00:22] |
truffles | ok 1600s | [00:22] |
the20year | Well, in the 1700s you had the giardoni air rifle which was a rapid fire gun | [00:23] |
asciilifeform | the one where the air bottle sometimes burst? | [00:23] |
the20year | Yeah | [00:23] |
asciilifeform | famous 'before their time' techno masterpiece... | [00:23] |
the20year | Granted if you want to see what happens when you use line warfar against machine guns, just take a look at ww1 | [00:23] |
the20year | would have been no different than 1800s, 1700s, 1600s - massed infantry in static lines trying to take positions held by machine guns | [00:25] |
asciilifeform | technologically-mismatched battles are a curious fetish among some people | [00:26] |
asciilifeform | maxim against cavalry, 'drone' against rusty truck in afghanistan... | [00:26] |
the20year | Sure, but if you're curious what happens, there's plenty of information out there on when it does ocurr | [00:26] |
asciilifeform | maxim vs. zulu, perhaps most famously | [00:27] |
the20year | Or italian cavalry in ww2 attacking soviet positions, a bayonette charge in iraq in 2004, the last usage of a sword in combat in vietnam , ect | [00:27] |
asciilifeform | there are persistent rumours of a Polish ww2 lance charge against a tank column. | [00:27] |
the20year | Rourkes drift comes pretty close to that | [00:27] |

asciilifeform | for further anachronism value: chariots (albeit with maxim) saw plentiful action in the russian civil war. | [00:28] |
mircea_popescu | a trained man with a sword is a better asset in close quarters than dudes with guns | [00:30] |
the20year | Yeah | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | course that training is prohibitively expensive | [00:31] |
the20year | Thus why police have the 21ft rule | [00:31] |
asciilifeform | "an officer without a sword is improperly dressed" | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | so it's not really practical, from a strategic perspective. nevertheless... | [00:31] |

ozbot | Jack Churchill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | [00:31] |
the20year | soldiers still carry bayonettes | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | the20year and don't know how to use them | [00:31] |
the20year | Tell that to the scotts | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | i just meant generally. | [00:32] |
the20year | I don't know , when i talked to a guy in 2003-4 about his time in Iraq, he seemed to indicate his unit trained with them. I do believe the marines still train | [00:33] |
mircea_popescu | people all over the us train in reading and writing. | [00:34] |
mircea_popescu | so what of it ? | [00:34] |
nubbins` | ^ leel | [00:34] |
nubbins` | point of the day | [00:34] |
the20year | Eh, i'd bet money there are plenty that still could use them effectively | [00:34] |
mircea_popescu | no argument there. | [00:34] |
mircea_popescu | an army however is about the weakest not the strongest link | [00:35] |
asciilifeform | if i recall, bayonet is the original 'MAD' weapon | [00:35] |
mircea_popescu | (which is why the us army has been evolving towards smaller and smaller units as the quality of recruits sunk) | [00:35] |
asciilifeform | in that most bayonet charges did not end with a mass perforation, but with one side fleeing | [00:35] |
the20year | Yeah, that's been the US tradition for a while though | [00:35] |
the20year | except in vietnam with the US army | [00:35] |
mircea_popescu | so in the most recent rng tests for the cardano we now see Entropy = 7.999926 bits per byte. | [00:39] |
mircea_popescu | Monte Carlo value for Pi is 3.141602161 ; Serial correlation coefficient is 0.000435 | [00:39] |
Apocalyptic | that's brutally great | [00:39] |
mircea_popescu | i daresay this is the best 2,5mb random sample i ever did see | [00:40] |
nubbins` | awesome | [00:40] |
mircea_popescu | it's definitely up there. | [00:40] |
pankkake | too good to be true, scam | [00:40] |
nubbins` | are the final dimensions known? | [00:41] |
mircea_popescu | for the benefit of "i can write a website too!" crowd : this is the result of removing about 14 different bias sources | [00:41] |
asciilifeform | 2 x 3 inch. | [00:41] |
mircea_popescu | which "weren't there" when we begun taking them out | [00:41] |
nubbins` | ah, smaller than a business card | [00:41] |
nubbins` | height? | [00:41] |

benkay | i suppose, at the cost of perpetuating idiot opsec. | [20:24] |

mircea_popescu | Bugpowder that's misrepresenting the thing. he'd have made 10 simply selling a pizza. | [20:26] |
mircea_popescu | 8k simply reflects the fact that for most of the coin's life, the metal was worth more than the key. | [20:26] |
nubbins` | ah, i suspect mike kept most of his profits in btc | [20:26] |
nubbins` | minus living expenses, not sure if he held a day job | [20:27] |
mircea_popescu | nubbins` the guy was a millionaire before btc. | [20:27] |
nubbins` | ah yeah? | [20:27] |
Bugpowder | But he was still making about 10% BTC profit on his sales up till he shut down. | [20:27] |

asciilifeform | mike_c: esp. if you subtract the folks who were trying to get run over | [23:07] |
mike_c | and track workers, which is most of the deaths | [23:07] |
dub | they are probably illegals anywy | [23:07] |

asciilifeform | afaik, this is less - but still quite - true for traffic death | [23:08] |
mircea_popescu | i should dig up my pics from cairo central | [23:08] |
ThickAsThieves | autodriving cars | [23:08] |
mircea_popescu | where they had dug the pits about 1.5 meters deep | [23:08] |
mircea_popescu | so people couldn't get in | [23:08] |
mircea_popescu | and people got in | [23:08] |

asciilifeform | is 'casascius' an organ of 'the foundation'? if not, why does every media turd about bitcoin feature a photo of the coins? | [23:11] |
mike_c | wow the gmail images. that's kind of cool, and will break all email tracking beacons. | [23:12] |
ThickAsThieves | or comply with allowed ones | [23:13] |
mike_c | well, theirs will still work of course. google analytics for email is the only working solution. | [23:13] |
nubbins` | subways in seoul had mirrors across the pit, on the incoming side of all the tunnels | [23:15] |
nubbins` | idea being that the train is fastest at that point, making it a favored jump spot | [23:15] |
nubbins` | mirrors would cause some to second-guess | [23:15] |
nubbins` | they were starting to roll out the suicide doors city-wide when i was there tho | [23:15] |
asciilifeform | or simply build separate stations where jumping is officially permitted. hose them down daily. | [23:17] |
mike_c | plus the rats would congregate there, leaving the rest cleaner | [23:17] |
asciilifeform | tv cameras on the wall. | [23:17] |
asciilifeform | my favourite fictional scenario of 'official suicide' is in brunner's 'stand on zanzibar' | [23:19] |
asciilifeform | where you could pay to be publicly guillotined, burned at the stake, etc. | [23:19] |
asciilifeform | 'attention whores' lined up. | [23:19] |
mircea_popescu | pay ?! | [23:22] |
mircea_popescu | the executioner should pay. | [23:22] |
asciilifeform | pay. story was about a world crammed brimful of humans, mostly unworthy of even a public execution. | [23:22] |

asciilifeform | https://github.com/trezor contains no source for the embedded micro, as far as i can see. | [23:28] |
jurov | NSA published anything to github yet? | [23:28] |
asciilifeform | jurov: will publish, with excruciatingly pedantic detail - when widget is sold. | [23:29] |
asciilifeform | why would you even care to read it now | [23:29] |
asciilifeform | how do the 'trezor' folks even get away with shipping the damn thing internationally without publishing source? | [23:30] |
jurov | trezor isn't sold yet either | [23:30] |
asciilifeform | afaik nobody cancelled the ancient law forbidding crypto export | [23:30] |
jurov | ask slush | [23:30] |
dub | probably fairly easy to ensure they dont | [23:30] |
asciilifeform | but there's a bush-era loophole for published source | [23:30] |

asciilifeform | Czech. ok | [23:31] |
jurov | asciilifeform: as i wrote several times here, it's made by slush & stick, czechoslovak dudes | [23:31] |
asciilifeform | aha | [23:32] |
asciilifeform | i'd be surprised if there are no weird crypto laws there | [23:32] |

jurov | at least in summer if not sooner | [23:37] |
asciilifeform | ah | [23:37] |
asciilifeform | interesting how they toured conventions, etc. for ages with no widget. | [23:37] |
jurov | prolly they don't have mircea to show the The Right Way | [23:37] |
jurov | *them | [23:38] |
asciilifeform | i grew up reading about inventors, hucksters, etc. and i always thought it was obvious that you need a prototype to really wake people up | [23:38] |
thestringpuller | unless the prototype blows up and kills everyone | [23:38] |
jurov | they needed funding | [23:38] |
thestringpuller | doesn't anyone remember dr. octavius? | [23:39] |
asciilifeform | how much funding does one need to build a few keychain-sized boards | [23:39] |

asciilifeform | 'trezor' appears to use a cheapo consumer ARM | [23:40] |
asciilifeform | $5 or so in quantity, afaik | [23:40] |
