asciilifeform: most folx are poor as church mice and extremely -- and thereby -- loss-averse

asciilifeform: ( fortunately it is not used in rsa other than in primality test during key gen. but is quite irritating a fact )
mircea_popescu: hence the constant "you can either make it foolproof ; or else make it lordship only". which is how bots work etc.
asciilifeform: even the 'ffaishness' of ffa has certain natural limits. gcd, for instance, is not constanttimeable
mircea_popescu: actually, the lordship also has.
asciilifeform: imho the lesson thus far has been 'the only attainable thing that gives sufficients without attempting infinities, is the expectation-adjuster'
asciilifeform: it's the razor blade ffa walks on
asciilifeform: and in fact the contradiction rears its head in every item asciilifeform works on
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, the ~only actually interesting point the rothbard expedition yielded hasn't much at all to do with rothbard, of course. http://trilema.com/2017/the-ethics-of-liberty-by-murray-n-rothbard-adnotated-part-i-natural-law-and-reason/#footnote_3_73699
asciilifeform: 'the vanilla 4.7 kernel should support this board, as should Rich Felker's musl-libc toolchain.' << bonus
asciilifeform: the superh was massaged to death by the orig authors, who licensed the patent (expired last yr) to number of firms, for megabux
asciilifeform: dreamcast had the 64bit variant
asciilifeform: the sh2, which is still massively made, beats the mips micros available on open market in ability to run from external rom
mircea_popescu: yes yes, the dreamcast chip.
