mircea_popescu: so it's : to blow up, either pile enough epsilon elaines until it sums to blow up ; or else keep pulling pins out of elliots, until one does it.
mircea_popescu: however, their upper bound is unknown at best.
mircea_popescu: this is the point here : elaines accumulate, havin babies, but their upper bound is epsilon (having babies). elliots do not accumulate, being incapable to even communicate.
asciilifeform: the odds for elliot are not epsilon, but 0.
mircea_popescu: 1 is cumulative fungus, other is non-cummulatiove lottery ticket.
asciilifeform: 1 is cumulative fungus, other is not.
asciilifeform: joe stack, on other hand..
mircea_popescu: has been the mo of humanity for what, 3k years.
mircea_popescu: which is the point. elaine wants to live in city, elliot hasn't the sense to fuck her over.
asciilifeform: would last as long as the medieval castles did against gunpowder.
mircea_popescu: you couldn't have such a thing as "bay area" if every elliot around there could just donate a few peta bequerels to the general area.
asciilifeform: and city, and whatever other fortification.
mircea_popescu: but it DOES destroy the convention of "all good things flow to city", which has been the rallying cry since the times of parmenides.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "columns of tanks".
asciilifeform: the myth of the 'but otherwise, nukefest, apocalypse' is one of the glues holding incatronic empire together.
asciilifeform: su happily played along, incidentally, for the obvious reason.
asciilifeform: so we get the memewars.
asciilifeform: n00k worx perfectly fine to annul the advantage of columns of tanks, expensive jets, etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's all part of the http://trilema.com/2015/i-think-you-drastically-overestimate-the-military-importance-of-nuclear-weapons/
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point being that many unsurmontable tech problems of the 1940s are hardly worth the mention today. "it's called a servo, duh" etc.
asciilifeform: from asciilifeform's reading of the histories, much of what usg did since '45 has been to create exaggerated impression of difficulty; and it was done at the cost of wasting ~own~ resources whenever possible, in stupendously massive way
asciilifeform: ( esp if you count the joules sunk into the oddball metallurgies, to make the pipes )
mircea_popescu: let's put it this way : if you took the people who did the original centrifugal separators and had them made ping-pong playing drone instead, they'd have failed.
asciilifeform: esp. if you make clever use of the magnetic pulse for confinement, while the electric does the work
mircea_popescu: if you say the same, starting in 2000, you may still be true.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the broader point : if you say one middle class individual couldn't, in his spare time and with his spare cash build a thermonuclear weapon during his lifetime starting 1980, you may be true.
mircea_popescu: then the "nobody could have predicted" "innovation" of mirving rockets that were too large in the 1st place.
mircea_popescu: much like "how big should a pixel be". it works for them to make bombs a certain size, so that's the size "bombs must be"
mircea_popescu: i suspect the limit is technological not physical.
asciilifeform: most of the usg disinfo , just as literate folx always suspected, aimed to inflate the apparent cost.
asciilifeform: the other interesting bit, 'The minimum yield required to initiate the D/T gas in the H-bomb‟s boosted Primary or in boosted atomic weapons is only about 20 tons/0.02 kt.'
asciilifeform: the one of the few interesting claims - 'A D-T boosted, fractional crit A-bomb could use reactor-grade (25% Pu240) plutonium, instead of the normal 5.5% Pu240 Weapons-Grade Pu, with no degradation of yield.'
asciilifeform: in other crackpotisms, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/lXsRB/?raw=true << supposedly crackpot d00d continued work of howard morland, for 40y, e.g. suing usg ( https://energy.gov/oha/downloads/fic-16-0001-matter-yogi-shan ) , gathering leaked gibblets.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> 90s a lot dumber than originally thought, in the us. << Pantsuit was president. Bill just sorta decoration to quiet the rednecks
mircea_popescu: and in other sweet little nothings, http://78.media.tumblr.com/e03a8bb64ed31e87aecdd2c8772eaecf/tumblr_nmb17do3dm1tw52ilo1_400.gif
asciilifeform: there does exist such a thing as a physical limit.
mircea_popescu: and if all men were the same height how would women choose.
asciilifeform: i disagree that it crumbles : if you were to find a nonparallelizable trapdoor that no one is likely to outrun you in computing -- you have the item.
mircea_popescu: but your original claim, that "to demonstrate, here's a design for an object that meets the described spec , if p!=np :", crumbled under scrutiny.
asciilifeform: it only becomes interesting if we can turn the 10 to a 0.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. so you get hdd 1, make 5 copies, i capture one, start grinding it into an otp. so do you. if my computer is 10% faster i'll have the i+1 10% faster than you will.
asciilifeform: now if we can put a bound on the enemy's advantage in calculating the (nonparallelizable, note, it should be clear why ) output -- we have the item.
mircea_popescu: there are no ticks irl.
asciilifeform: now let's picture, enemy captures the box.
asciilifeform: 2 ) a mechanism similar to bitcoin's sha2 pow, where it grinds out a collision , the number of ticks that it took, xor'd with pad loc i, then next i+1 , .... , until pad runs out.
asciilifeform: to demonstrate, here's a design for an object that meets the described spec , if p!=np :
mircea_popescu: there's no way to have alf nominated personally in the workings of physics, and thereby have a tape alf and alf alone can fuck with
mircea_popescu: no. either it's "slow tape nonrandom access" or else it's "alf gets to fuck with it"
asciilifeform: yer postulating the conclusion.
mircea_popescu: or in other words, your design is nonsense. it demands mutually exclusive properties.
mircea_popescu: no, it just means i copied it, thro9ugh the exact process you used to create the two in the first place.
asciilifeform: ( in the case of a typical recording medium -- all at once )
asciilifeform: 'make 3 and 4' means you got it to shit bits at > the specified rate.
asciilifeform: ( i.e. can you make a matched pair of otp such that 1) output is cryptoentropic 2) can only leave the device at particular baud rate , no matter what is done to it ? )

asciilifeform: hm could've sworn there was an entire thread...
asciilifeform: half cells. With an increasing load the phase shift between the two half cells decreases (i.e. both oscillations tend to synchronize), consequently the amplitude of the alternating current decreases while the amplitudes of the individual BZ-oscillators remain unaffected. '
asciilifeform: 'We built a true alternating current (a.c.) battery that periodically reverses value and sign of its electromotive force (e.m.f.). This a.c. battery is an electrochemical concentration cell that consists of two coupled half cells in which identical oscillating Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) reactions take place isothermally at 28.0°. The homogeneous BZ oscillations are phase shifted in order to create a potential difference between both
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in very other olds, asciilifeform bites at his elbows, one of his coffinnotebook ideas, turns out , was in fact made long ago :
mircea_popescu: the whole ourdemocracy approach is to never see anything but surfaces.
asciilifeform: gotta love the socialistoid bent of such articles : when, e.g., police dispatcher goes down, or self-driving coffins , whatevers, mega-disaster; but microshit's crafted prevention of civilized comp as a class, is business as usual and a-ok
mircea_popescu: "For the first time, there could be such a thing as a national 911 outage. There have now been four in as many years."
mircea_popescu: "There were six hours during the night of April 10, 2014, when the entire population of Washington State had no 911 service." << vorwarts!
trinque: yep, I hold the thing at arm's length
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom is just so much poppycock!

a111: Logged on 2017-08-22 16:59 mircea_popescu: the point is not without merit, though. ~all the competent, at artisan level, males, the dudes working leather and metal and wood and whatnot ~competently~ are virtually all 50 yo doods with very much a slave mentality.
mircea_popescu: heck, they make lifetime slaves too, the sort that http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-22#1702083
asciilifeform: ( they are hired preferentially )
asciilifeform: the ones no longer fit to ( or inclined to ) do wetwork, incidentally, still typically go on to desk federasties of various sorts
