asciilifeform: but http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-13#1502551 is a point, and it is why folks can't resist the desire to build gigantic cannons - expands the circle of 'there to do it'
mircea_popescu: rifle gets residue from the propellant. rail gun is magnetic, gets all residue from environment, also creates new residue out of solids.
asciilifeform: but in usg implementation, even ordinary rifle, recall, needs 50x the servicing anybody would expect.
mircea_popescu: then the capacitors need replacing, the diodes are burned out and the whole thing's gunked over.
asciilifeform: half the point was, no barrel, no cleaning, etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. they are insanely expensive. you're thinking "oh, it's like a gun, hence railgun". no, it's not. your gun fires a magazine, then needs cleaning, then fires another and will do 10k cycles or more. the rail gun fires one thing, needs servicing, and will do maybe 3 ? 5 ? 12 ?
mircea_popescu: 90% of it goes into "getting a guy there to do it" and 1% or so into "cartridge price tag"
mircea_popescu: but, in all war, the cost of ammo is mostly a cost of opportunity.
asciilifeform: bullet is cheap. hence the lure.
mircea_popescu: hence rocket rather than bullet.
mircea_popescu: so you're better off hiding the energy in mass than in speed.
asciilifeform: actually it is because of the Hochdruckpumpe problem (ain't no barrel thick enough for icbm 'bullet') but also limit on g-force for complicated mechanism like nuke.
mircea_popescu: that's the only projectile of unlimited energy : a rocket. because it slides under the door of air friction.
mircea_popescu: which is why nukes are rockets rather than bullets, be those bullets accelerated chemically, magnetically or whichever other way.

asciilifeform: rings have 0 to do with it. in pc arch, every device on the bus can issue dma cycles and clobber ram.
Framedragger: i mean, why not maintain them separately etc
asciilifeform: on x86, or any other platform with dma, all drivers are 'part of the kernel' whether honestly stated or not.
Framedragger: linus chose to do the whole 'driver is part of kernel' thing, yeah.
asciilifeform: and most of it is only there because of hardware idiocy.
Framedragger: i guess the fact that you need to arrive at a single kernel executable file does not hinder this (cf. all those exokernel projects, not that exokernel architecture is the right approach)
asciilifeform: linux is already largely broken into modules. that is not the problem.
Framedragger: so in the case of an os kernel, you'd just make sure to break down the source into codebase modules so to speak?

asciilifeform: the 'let's use git without central repo, and pass around signed diffs' thing was suggested ages ago, and i wrote v specifically to shoot it in the head; because signed standard diffs, that can be applied 'fuzzily', are evil. v diffs contain hash-on-entry and hash-on-exit, and if either doesn't match, it is a no go.
asciilifeform: nor does the thing force a particular type of crypto signature - any program that functions similarly to pgp, generating a detached signature, can be used.

mircea_popescu: if you just dump the fuel on enemy, you get 500x bang for the buck. eventually you cook him, through whatever bunker. it's why there's no bunkers in the sun.
mircea_popescu: by and large for every 100 J worth of gas you're putting in, you're getting out ~1J of ~muzzle velocity~. then as ben_vulpes pointed out correctly you lose most of this to air friction (longer range ? MUCH MORE FRICTION!), so you deliver maybe 1kJ or 2 per MJ expended.

ben_vulpes: if it works (and what, the brits can't do anything, clearly), it's the only improvement with legs over the classic rocket.
ben_vulpes: so, keep water from precipitating out of the gas coming in, cool it rapidly by dumping the heat into the h2, react h2 and o2 (and yes, some h2o), you have an air-breathing rocket that (yes, nominally) can operate in atmosphere with out consuming onboard o2 all the way up to mach 5.
ben_vulpes: and so long as there is o2, it *will* burn.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yes yes. the comparison of the engine to the rocket is flawed. because the rocket doesn't aspire [random gunk] from atmosphere.
