decimation: not only is open fpga useless for consumer market, it openly antagonizes it
asciilifeform: it is simply wasteful for any extant mass application - does a dildo need general-purpose switching matrix logic ?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AMHASH3] 3000 @ 0.0012 = 3.6 BTC
asciilifeform: don't wait for the chinese to copy fpga. they have no reason whatsoever to.
asciilifeform: for prototyping (the only thing they are presently used for) they are happy to buy the american chips and use their closed turdchains.
decimation: yeah, it really is only useful for 'actual people' who want to research interesting digital applications
asciilifeform: just as china (along with the rest of the planet) happily runs winblows.
decimation: this is not a large market
asciilifeform: it's a market of, what... 10 people.
decimation: is this dominance of xilinix, ms, etc really a case of the 'giant' sitting on the stool?
asciilifeform: i will not only die of old age but probably manage to fossilize before anyone ever thinks of serving this market.
decimation: it seems to me that if there were any midgets, they are long gone
asciilifeform: decimation: the midgets were exterminated, possibly before birth, by patents
decimation: yeah and copyright in the case of ms
asciilifeform: decimation: notice that all known fpga manufacturers (xilinx, altera, lattice, a few others) have the same business model
decimation: it's a neat trick to time-warp into the future and murder your competitors in the womb
asciilifeform: licensing of circuit modules
asciilifeform: this is because it is quite impossible, as i understand, to really make serious money selling the chips
asciilifeform: they virtually never end up in consumer products except as a result of extreme haste (rushing a prototype to market)
decimation: yeah I've heard it referred to as the "ip cores" market
asciilifeform: (where!? see, e.g, the 'rio pmp' early mp3 player.)
asciilifeform: !s xilinx
assbot: 42 results for 'xilinx' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=xilinx
asciilifeform: discussed here on several separate occasions.
decimation: apparently the the prices they charge for these "ip cores" are highly negotiable depending on your account with them
asciilifeform: and their ability to carry out this 'air merchant' trick is entirely tied to a maximally-closed chip architecture.
asciilifeform: otherwise it would be a simple matter to learn how the mystery meat module works and remplement.
asciilifeform: *reimplement
decimation: yeah whenever I hear "ip cores" I immediately think of all the legal bullshit that they are pimping to support their 'business'
decimation: maybe some snowden working for xilinix will release the dox one day
asciilifeform: doesn't do much good
decimation: they would probably just discontinue that line
asciilifeform: i did tell the tale, of how on one occasion someone succeeded in mostly reversing a particular chip
asciilifeform: it is now entirely unobtainable.
asciilifeform: almost as much as the first (and last, and only) xilinx part that had open docs from the vendor
asciilifeform: it is never enough to reverse engineer a particular item.
asciilifeform: the results must go into soviet-style production by the megatonne.
asciilifeform: at least, for a silicon chip, that cannot be made in a cellar
decimation: that's something the russian billionare could help with
asciilifeform: but why
decimation: unfortunately there is not much 'spare' capacity
asciilifeform: there will -never- be spare capacity for a counter-economic project.
decimation: the only credible buyers I can imagine are non-us defense
asciilifeform: the same folks happily running winblows and ms-office ?
decimation: yeah I know
asciilifeform: martian defense.
asciilifeform: that's who'll buy.
decimation: as long as usg sits on the stool it will remain that way
asciilifeform: i'm not convinced this is a usg-dependent phenomenon
decimation: no, the real driver is the expense of a chip fab
asciilifeform: as in, usg can and will perish, but the widgets spoken of here will not magically appear.
asciilifeform: there would have to be some rational mechanism to bring them into being.
decimation: cheap chip fabrication would do it
decimation: but that's almost science fiction
asciilifeform: if you had cheap chip fab, there would not even be much reason to build fpga !
decimation: I mean if we could 'kickstart' such a design for a few $K
asciilifeform: other than for exotic circuits that reprogram selves, etc
asciilifeform: even then
decimation: actually the design work is way more than the fabrication
asciilifeform: not if you're the designer
decimation: well, costs lifetime then
asciilifeform: costs no more than we're paying now to talk.
decimation: including the warez for design toolchain?
asciilifeform: ideally, a from-scratch rational reimplementation (that ignores patents on best-known algos, yes)
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 10 @ 0.140001 = 1.4 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: technically if you were to write a logic synthesis tool today, from scratch, it would still be 'warez'
asciilifeform: i generally tag all of the parties responsible for this state of affairs as agents of usg, whether they would think of themselves as such or not.
decimation: certainly most of their sales are to usg's layer 2
decimation: there aren't many fpgas in consumer chips in general
decimation: consumer boards I should say
asciilifeform: wasn't speaking of fpga specifically
asciilifeform: but anyone involved in the patent of algorithms apparatus
asciilifeform: in whatever capacity.

decimation: ironically the us got its start pirating machine designs from england
asciilifeform: this is well-known.
decimation: that and talented machinists would leave to 'seed' enterprises in europe & elsewhere
asciilifeform: the secret boojum of chip business is that anything whose production is inherently centralized to that degree, is almost divinely ordained to suck.

undata: a guy wanting to write some code and keep a secret or two
asciilifeform: very vague, this.
undata hands asciilifeform his busted laptop
undata: something that replaces this piece of trash
asciilifeform: back to chip thread, for a spell - we're roughly in the situation of ancient china, which had printing but not movable type
asciilifeform: the closest thing anyone has conceived off to movable type re: chip design is the fpga concept.
asciilifeform: which is actually more analogous to a teletype (slow, ponderous, you would not want to print a book's print run on it)
asciilifeform: but indispensable for certain work.
decimation: and it isn't 'movable type' in the sense that someone with a brain can arrange the internals to serve his needs
asciilifeform: the way i understand it, a 100% open fpga, produced in a thousand factories of mutually-antagonistic owners, is the one and only way to 'open computer.'
asciilifeform: unless some fundamental discovery enabling cellar chip fab were to be made
decimation: or 'chip printing'
decimation: both of which are fantastic science fiction today
asciilifeform: ^ grantsmanship, usg desinfo.
asciilifeform: nothing remotely resembling a 'chip printer' is conceivable with presently-known physics
decimation: yeah it is easier to conceive of trained bacteria who arrange parts appropriately
decimation: 'bio-assembly' or whatever
asciilifeform: bacterium is almost as much too large as you and i.
asciilifeform: for this work.
asciilifeform: even if he had hands.
asciilifeform: once you clear away the usg grantsmanship, what mr. mold called 'scientocracy', you realize that actual science mostly 100% stopped around 1960.

asciilifeform: as in, you would have to re-create entire industries from scratch

mircea_popescu: i think best walking. am not trying to get a walking computor tho

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform every single room in this country has hardware, wrought iron tv supporter. i've not seen a tv yet standed on any surface.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think nearly as well when walking, and spent many years trying to construct something like a 'walking computer.'
asciilifeform: 'standing desk' has come into fashion where i live.
asciilifeform: all the way to elaborate, $1k+ hydraulic lift desks with position memory.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: would have to give enough of a shit to fund, but not enough to attempt to direct. this will happen shortly after pigs fly. << incidentally, this is why the idle rich are so important irl.

mircea_popescu: (they put a group of men in exclusive charge of battlefield rifle use)
mircea_popescu: the only great fortune of europe in the industrial age was that they copied the dutch approach (as the tulip mania was coming to a close, dutch courts simply refused to intervene in any capacity and "Fuck you!")
