mircea_popescu: !!up gribble [00:05]
deedbot: gribble voiced for 30 minutes. [00:05]
gribble: Error: "!up" is not a valid command. [00:05]
mircea_popescu: estimate [00:05]
gribble: Next difficulty estimate | None based on data since last change | 8.59041868837e+11 based on data for last three days [00:05]
mircea_popescu: ah, here's an example of non-reanimating remora asciilifeform : craig woods. [00:06]
mircea_popescu: batshit insane and rather dumb "female" dood, was going to do something or other by some date or other back in 2014. [00:07]
BingoBoingo: YET!!! [00:09]
mircea_popescu: heh. [00:09]

BingoBoingo: Awe, adorbs! [00:21]
mircea_popescu: lol [00:21]
BingoBoingo: In other scuttlebutt, now Bezos' Amazon WAPO is implying a military coup against Trump may be impending [00:22]
mircea_popescu: lmao. [00:26]
mircea_popescu: mp-ball says, nuclear strike levelling washington, dc about three degrees of magnitude more likely than "military coup". [00:26]
mircea_popescu: even alf got the fuck out of there, which was the last serious impediment. #nukedc [00:27]
mircea_popescu: and in other "abstraction meets reality" lulz, http://lekki.adsafrica.com.ng/category/145/ "women seeking women in nigeria". [00:27]
BingoBoingo: Anyways, here's the loller https://archive.is/oZIdE [00:28]
mircea_popescu: the one salient point, which apparently makes it even into the officialist crapolade, is that, to quote them, "the situation in afghanistan continues to deteriorate". in fact, afghanistan is about to fall. [00:32]
mircea_popescu: the "government", as usgtards importantly call the aspie enablers, has gone about as long as it'll go. they nominally control a majority of the territory, but this looks well set for an inflection. [00:33]
BingoBoingo: But where will the junkies get their Heroin? [00:34]
mircea_popescu: yeah well. [00:34]
* BingoBoingo supposes CIA could start growing poppies in Canada [00:35]
BingoBoingo: Or scale up poppy farming in ukr [00:35]
mircea_popescu: the problem with heroin is that it's a very stupid drug. as such, it goes in cycles, about 20 years long or so (ie, as long as it takes for a new generation of lemmings to entirely forget). it's on a downcycle right now. [00:36]
BingoBoingo: Well, in US appears to be peaking. [00:37]
mircea_popescu: i'd guess already peaked, but anyway. [00:37]
BingoBoingo: Hard to tell till the accumulation of cold bodies start slowing down. [00:38]
mircea_popescu: easy to tell, gotta look at "new acquisition" numbers for active pimp ops with a heroin side. [00:38]
mircea_popescu: once they stop getting hotties, the drop is months away. [00:38]

asciilifeform: would very happily call in the strike on own coordinates tho, if could. [01:00]
asciilifeform: dc is usg's arse, however, not head. a conscientious exterminator ougta ablate boston and sanfran 1st. [01:05]
asciilifeform: zurich, london, berlin, as basic secondaries. [01:07]
BingoBoingo: Gotta wipe New Amserdam too, And Chiraq, lest Chiraqui flavor of pantsuit fill void. [01:08]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the latter is quite depopulated as is [01:08]
asciilifeform: i go there on bizbis sometimes. into a mostly empty soot-coloured skyscraper. [01:10]
asciilifeform: where half the lifts dunwork. [01:10]
asciilifeform: you can hear pipes laid in edison's life, groaning. [01:11]
BingoBoingo: 2.7 million in Chiraq proper, and 10 million in metro area. Skyscrapers empty, but ghettos full. Chicago has a full "star" mass transit topology, shrinks precieved size of city. [01:11]
asciilifeform: 2.7m of what. [01:11]
asciilifeform: do you know even 1 name ? [01:11]
BingoBoingo: "residents" [01:11]
asciilifeform: lol [01:11]
asciilifeform: i saw transgenderfucked beggars, expelled from 'art school', on the pavement. [01:12]
asciilifeform: i suppose from humane pov they oughta be put out of their misery, but rockets cost money and i can't picture anyone will ever spare one for them. [01:14]
mircea_popescu: ruthie's own mr snyder prolly spins in his grave. [01:14]
asciilifeform: whossat? [01:14]
mircea_popescu: one of the better stories of 30s hollywood (they did very few original scripts then as now) was the story of ruth etting and moe the gimp snyder. [01:15]
mircea_popescu: dime-a-dance girl turned major star, etc. it's the substance of both love me or leave me and "the roaring twenties" [01:15]
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i saw transgenderfucked beggars, expelled from 'art school', on the pavement. << And when they die during the winter they will still vote Pantsuit. It's what Chicago does. Along with it's downstate mestatasis Belleville and East Saint Louis. [01:16]
BingoBoingo: Same Belleville of http://qntra.net/2017/06/leftist-terrorist-from-belleville-attacks-gop-baseball-team/ fame [01:16]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and when pharaon ramses rules from anchorage, they will 'vote' ramses. beggars ain't agents. [01:16]
BingoBoingo: But they trick the Hussein Bahamas fellow into thinking he is an agent [01:17]
BingoBoingo: Feed the beggars and they'll tell you to update they testament again [01:19]
mircea_popescu: should be interesting what the third, further optimized version will be like. [01:21]
BingoBoingo: Give Fna a sheet of paper. Let the adorable one encode it as only he can, at his leisure. [01:23]
mircea_popescu: and also make a little cart so it can carry beans around from cupboard to counter ? and what else. [01:24]
BingoBoingo: Prolly keep the bigger spiders away, Fna's prolly on some of their menus. [01:25]
BingoBoingo: Anyways, at this point each of Fna's footsteps carry more meaning than anything spewing outta pantsuited chicago. [01:28]

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, the idea is that this was some chicago hardass who "viewed the world as a battleground". very different chicago in 1927. [01:32]
asciilifeform: ohyea the one with 'chicago typewriter'. [01:33]

asciilifeform: ( and toshiba is rotting in hell, who knows if toslink will be around in near future. and for some reason they use slow slew rate diode and it tops out at 1M/s ) [12:43]
asciilifeform: incidentally for some reason i remember kako bragging about his 'data diode' thing, apparently it was his crowning techno-achievement [12:43]
mircea_popescu: nothin wrong with dat. [12:44]
asciilifeform: nope. [12:44]
asciilifeform: but rather like bragging about changing oil in auto. [12:44]
mircea_popescu: o yeah ? you think people generally can change their oil ? [12:45]
asciilifeform: in old-time su, when auto aficionados all had access to a pit, they could [12:45]
mircea_popescu: you gotta a) read the fucking manual to find oil drain spot b) lift front on crank c) set a large enough recipient correctly on the ground. [12:46]
asciilifeform: lol re c [12:46]
mircea_popescu: i would guess < 0.01% of general pop could do this at all. [12:46]
mircea_popescu: andf in the "don't do more damage than the shop would charge and don't take longer than it'd take to take to shop" view... god help us. 0% and leave it at that. [12:47]
asciilifeform: i recently saw a truck painted with ad, 'we are the plumber who will fix the pipe your husband 'fixed' ' [12:48]
mircea_popescu: their bane is technology. /me saw pipe screwed in backwards (for some reason pipe had been threaded the wrong way for the nut). but with the help of teflon tape (GAS version, btw) it only leaked a little. dripped. [12:49]
mircea_popescu: if they didn't have access to human tools and tech generally, their stupidity would be unsustainable. [12:49]
asciilifeform: holyfuck. [12:49]
mircea_popescu: yes. [12:49]
mircea_popescu: this is the problem. don't give orc fucking teflon tape. [12:49]
asciilifeform: bonus re teflontape -- teflon + Al reaction -- explosion and HF. this requires strictly pressure to initiate. pressure that is sometimes reached in a water pipe... [12:50]
mircea_popescu: you don't say. [12:51]
mircea_popescu: which is the sad point that i am constrained to make against my will : there's a good fucking reason for tivoization. [12:51]
mircea_popescu: the imbeciles. [12:51]
asciilifeform: whipping also works. [12:51]
asciilifeform: there used to be a population of quacks offering 'cheap, discrete' abortions with veterinary tools they somehow got hold of, & similar [12:52]
asciilifeform: it is not the fault of the knife, no. [12:52]
mircea_popescu: veterinary tools are not much worse for the job than what was found in a hospital cca 1970. the problem with obgyn is the hand not the tool. [12:53]
asciilifeform: aha [12:53]
mircea_popescu: (which is what makes the jeremy irons horror film. when obgyn decides "women are monstrously malforned, need better tools", all other obgyns know he's insane.) [12:53]
asciilifeform: point ( and i stole it from naggum, it is neither original to me nor to him ) is that most folx know better than to operate on their friends' internals [12:53]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but not THAT internal. most people consider themselves qualified to operate on that part. [12:54]
asciilifeform: the interesting bit re the comp is the absence of anything corresponding to the actual medical profession [12:55]
mircea_popescu: but nsa has been trying to build this forever. [12:55]
mircea_popescu: it's one of its deadly sins, in republican accounting. [12:55]
asciilifeform: was referring to 'medical profession' in the desirable 'people who actually use antiseptics and know how not to cut random arteries as they go' rather than 'caste of egomaniacal brahmins' american sense. [12:56]
mircea_popescu: but this is a node further down the tree. [12:56]
asciilifeform: how's that [12:57]
mircea_popescu: certainly us doctors are as egomaniacal idiotic as all other usg-aryan groups, financial experts, lawyers, etc. however, they are not derelict in their actual work (unlike the financial dorks, but like the lawyhers) [12:57]
asciilifeform: varies. [12:58]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because that's how it goes, whether to have a caste at all comes before what kind shall it be. [12:58]
asciilifeform: not every craft ends up creating a self-licking-icecreamcone guild [12:58]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suppose exceptions could be found. but take constructions (architects + actual builders). exceptions could there also be found, but THE OTHER WAY. [12:58]
asciilifeform: ( though admittedly i do not know the conditions which determine when ) [12:58]
mircea_popescu: this is to my eyes a very substantial difference. [12:58]

asciilifeform: ice40 series tops out at 250Mhz iirc, so it'd be a modest thing. but working. [13:08]
asciilifeform: ( and that's the global clock net max, rather than 'hey i can make a pentium pro'. LUT delay is 10ns+ iirc ) [13:09]

asciilifeform: 1 that runs on 'aa' battery. [13:10]
asciilifeform: ( lattice co.'s whole niche is micropower fpga ) [13:11]
mircea_popescu: would be pretty funny, considering that's the one point the "supremely engineered" items were never really engineered for. power draw, weight, ecological considerations of that sort. [13:12]
asciilifeform: if we're speaking of 1980s, no comp maker then engineered 'for power draw and ecology', it was a nonstarter [13:13]
mircea_popescu: yup. [13:13]
mircea_popescu: i'm not faulting them for it but the matter remains. 100kg and 5KW/h for the battery-powered fpga ? aww! [13:14]
asciilifeform: as for weight, original bolix was doublefridge size. the 3620 (what i have here) was paraded when debuted by the ceo hand carried on a stage in front of audience, 'only 100 pounds!' [13:14]
mircea_popescu: almost ready to go into "briefcase". [13:14]
mircea_popescu: "man should be able to drag 50kg from car to elevators" [13:14]

mircea_popescu: aha. [13:15]
asciilifeform: last gasp was the emulator, on dec alpha ( forced choice, no other 64bit chip on the market then ) , ran at 3x speed of the best actual chip [13:17]
asciilifeform: but toolate. [13:17]
asciilifeform: then alpha died and curtain. [13:17]
asciilifeform: re energy -- my 3620 drew ~600 W. [13:18]

* asciilifeform puts on iron list [19:07]
mircea_popescu: there's also stuff from biostar, zotac, ecs which imo sucks, and so on. [19:08]
mircea_popescu: but basically FT amd's will fit into your purpose here. [19:08]
asciilifeform: that's a 'kabini' [19:08]
asciilifeform: usb3 on fucking cpu die [19:08]
asciilifeform: afaik they're all kabini or the next, ditto [19:09]
asciilifeform: ( apparently i have one here ..! ) [19:09]
mircea_popescu: yes, but i expect you can turn it off with a proper bios ? [19:10]
mircea_popescu: i thought the problem was the intel bios lock + the inept usb3 combo, rather than the simple presence of usb3 ? [19:10]
asciilifeform: possibly, i'ma try it on this here one i've nailed to a plank [19:10]
* mircea_popescu has never specifically done zoolag, is stuck guessing from higher up. [19:11]
asciilifeform: it was a fist-sized 'gigabyte' fanless celeron thing. [19:11]
mircea_popescu: well, conceivably can be replaced with same gigabyte celeron ? [19:11]
asciilifeform: it dun need replacement per se, was dead disk. i took the downtime as chance to try netbsd on same iron, when new disk came. iirc i explained this upstack. [19:12]
mircea_popescu: ah ah right. [19:12]
asciilifeform: it was running a vintage centos prev. [19:13]
mircea_popescu: right. so basically time exposed a broken box you had in your basement. happens to me all teh time. [19:13]
asciilifeform: brokenbydesign aha [19:14]
mircea_popescu: aha [19:14]
asciilifeform: the troubling bit is that even if trick works with kabini, that might be the last. [19:15]

asciilifeform: and it's out of print even nao. [19:15]
asciilifeform: ( recall, current amd is locked into pantsuitbios ) [19:15]
asciilifeform: extra infuriating detail -- i dun specifically need x86 for this , trb runs ok on arm. BUT all extant arms have soldered down (and insufficient) ram. [19:18]
asciilifeform: ( incl. pogo ) [19:18]
mircea_popescu: perhaps easier to approach than usb3 ablation. [19:18]
asciilifeform: there is no fundamental reason for this. [19:18]
asciilifeform: trb in 256M ain't happening. [19:19]
asciilifeform: not without rewrite. [19:19]
asciilifeform: sorta what all of my findings from beginning to nao, sum to. [19:20]
mircea_popescu: there's no fundamental reason trb needs more than about 5mb or so of ram but this aside : gotta find a way to put your own ram in the damned arm boxes. [19:20]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only way the latter happens is new board from 0 [19:20]
mircea_popescu: board is no such a huge deal. for one thing they're all farmed out anyway, and most parts are off the shelf for the other -- how the fuck are you gonna cut off the on-chip nasty. [19:21]
asciilifeform: ever take close look at board with sdram ? needs equal paths ( the wiggling lines you see are called 'meanders' ) [19:21]
asciilifeform: ah i thought implication was 'mod the board' [19:21]
mircea_popescu: nah. easier to make new board for pogo than to make new cpu for zoolag. [19:22]
asciilifeform: but yes it is possible to design arm box with sockets [19:22]
mircea_popescu: and ~possibly~ easier than to sanely rewrite trb [19:22]
