pete_dushenski: "Inmates can earn various degrees through the initiative, which is taught primarily by Bard faculty. About 15 per cent of the all-male inmates at the Eastern New York Correctional Facility in Napanoch are enrolled. Graduates of the program have continued their studies at Yale and Columbia universities, Kenner said."
pete_dushenski: aha just a curiousity then ?
pete_dushenski: particularly the fact that artist didn't use ruler for all arrows
pete_dushenski: i'm probably ill equipped to appreciate 'scheme-79' but i like the hand-drawings !
ascii_field: goes from a program, all the way to a chip die generated by said program, AND able to run it !
assbot: DSpace@MIT: The SCHEME-79 Chip ... ( http://bit.ly/1GwLVgF )
pete_dushenski: for a bit of history, when was the last clean sheet design made ? and by whom ? the gods ?
ascii_field: NO ONE has, for a very long time, designed a cpu in the sense of actually laying out the transistors.
ascii_field: but it is important to understand the sheer magnitude of the first counterfactual here.
pete_dushenski: well, even if new cpu was designed, it'd have to be made at one of a handful of facilities, the odds of which are ~0, yes ?
ascii_field: (the mips series)
pete_dushenski: because of the costs of 10/14nm chips requiring still more centralisation ? or because 'next one' will necessarily have 'arm', which is only made in 2 places ?
ascii_field: whereas your cpu came from one of three buildings on the whole fucking planet.
ascii_field: really the other thing, imho, is more interesting - that modern tech is far more of a centralized thing than anything in old su ever was
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: reasonable enough not to launch a trillion's worth of au into the sun.
ascii_field: at this time, every single copy of every variant of bitcoin in the world runs on a cpu designed - and, in almost all cases, made - by the usg ministry of crudputing !!
pete_dushenski: back to french 'reasonability' and why they haven't launched gold into sun, since when are the french reasonable ? they're fucking nutbag socialists of the highest order !
pete_dushenski: they could teach ethertards a thing or two if they're ~that~ good.
ascii_field: and the one before that.
ascii_field: for all i know, it is a '90s-style chumpatron like the last elbrus !
pete_dushenski: if russia has the economy to make elbrus, which can presumable keep the blockchain, seems odd that china can't
ascii_field: if we must have a rigorous definition, say 'cpu which can keep the blockchain'
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: china does not actually design workstation either !
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: they had trouble keeping up with 1980s usa
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: because, to any 'reasonable' person, making french pentium is entirely indistinguishable from taking the entire gold reserve and shooting it into the sun
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: But flying to intercept means getting close enough for a bored kind at Nellis to put the drone into a hard turn for the lulz
pete_dushenski: ascii_field but if french bureaucracy is (and has been for decades if not centuries) the centralised behemoth that i understand it to be, why h-bomb and no 'pentium' ?

BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Well then can use self as rocket
pete_dushenski: we never had the nuclear-powered cars expected in the 1950s (ford nucleon), but computer powered ? entirely, now.
pete_dushenski: that is actually a fascinating truth. quite revelatory of the complexity involved.
pete_dushenski: the degree of centralisation is pretty unparalleled
pete_dushenski: ascii_field this is perhaps a better restatement of what i was getting at with the uniqueness of computing
ascii_field: there are literally one hand's fingers' worth of places on the planet where workstation cpu is made
ascii_field: the reason why the decay is at its most cartoon-coloured visible in computing, is that it is the most inherently centralized industry in existence
trinque: of course people saw the end approaching but was it ever stopped?
trinque: riff on the "no one could have forseen" wry comment
BingoBoingo: * trinque muses that the end of the world never approaches; it always already came << It came when Andrew Jackson when on his genocide kick in defiance of the US supreme court. Or when Washington wasn't hung during the WHiskey rebellion.

ascii_field: find me a motherfucking laptop with ips display and room for 24G that doesn't have nvidia piece of shit.
ascii_field: nothing that looks, smells, walks, talks, like the remotest shadow of an alternative.
ascii_field: they survive, and will continue to survive, because there is no alternative
pete_dushenski: but hey, no one ever got fired for complying and taking the path of least resistance.
pete_dushenski: a role they play to this day, much to the detriment of their own long-term survival.
pete_dushenski: no wonder khamenei won't negotiate with these fucks.
pete_dushenski: but asking toyota why they're providing isis with trucks is like asking amd why they're providing tmsr~ with chips and mobos, or asking boeing why they gave the 9/11ers planes.
pete_dushenski: um. because they're shitboxen.
pete_dushenski: u.s. wonders aloud : "why aren't the bad guys driving our shitboxen ?!"
pete_dushenski: what are the chances that democracy doesn't produce the best results ? but rather the results that favour usg interests ? hm. i wonder.
pete_dushenski: go figure the one political leader in iran who doesn't have to worry about re-elections has the most considered perspective.
pete_dushenski: ""Negotiations with the United States open gates to their economic, cultural, political and security influence. Even during the nuclear negotiations they tried to harm our national interests.," Khamenei was quoted as saying on his website.""
pete_dushenski: because what's to negotiate with ? usg is a nebulous metastatic blob with no end and no beginning. trying to have a conversation with it is like talking to a tree and expecting the forest to play along.
pete_dushenski: "Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday banned any further negotiations between Iran and the United States" << because not even iran will negotiate with terrorists.
ascii_field: in turn, no one bothers to develop an actual driver because 'dontcha know, ubuntu is linux and there is a linux driver'
ascii_field: (functions only if you use the ubuntu kernels and never attempt to so much as rebuild)
ascii_field: incidentally, the very existence of 'ubuntu' is a blight.
ascii_field: this is (or was) afaik the most expensive portable sold, and it is ~still~ a turd
punkman: why doesn't the external display work?
ascii_field: most of all for there being no (afaik) alternative to it
ascii_field at the end of the latest bout of this
pete_dushenski: $cad 1 = $usd 0.66 at the time, was parity five years ago, now back to 0.75
punkman: how much was the gameboy around then?
pete_dushenski: ah scratch that 40 guesstimate : the 1996 model msrp'd for 2079 yen, $usd 15.99. so probably closer to $cad 20.
pete_dushenski: global phenomenon eh. i don't think they were exactly cheap either. maybe $cad 40 ? in ~1997 money ?
pete_dushenski: jurov: you ever play tamagotchi ? i think i was the only kid in my class who didn't. maybe one other.
pete_dushenski doesn't, ftr, think alf is anything like a 'crank' but that he's easily the foremost expert on those who are
pete_dushenski: he'll sense things that no person ever could, and have the ability to articulate it !
pete_dushenski: 'alf dog' can truly be man's best friend : always keeping him on his toes, alert, aware of the faintest rustles in the leaves
pete_dushenski: it'll obviously talk, mostly pessimistic/crank whispering, fomenting rumours from across the land
pete_dushenski: hell, when eulora gets animals, this beast should be there !
pete_dushenski: free of the bright light of contrast
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: sure the bar is lower for dogs, where's the alf dog ? not meeting a stand-out example allows the others to enjoy their mediocre unexceptionalism
pete_dushenski: but the superglue is a bit much ;/
pete_dushenski: jurov: looks like amethyst. /me recalls traveling across canada in my early youth, stopping at amethyst mines, being fascinated by the colour and size of the formations
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski im not so sure of the entire moulding thing. i think i met more competent dogs than competent humans in my life, mostly because the bar so much lower for dog. and it's self-moulding really, just as long as you don't get in th way too much.
jurov: *thermal
mircea_popescu: and THEY KNEW it was fucking stupid, which is why they put that ground copper on it or w/e it is.
mircea_popescu: what thefuck is that disgusting goop
jurov: pete_dushenski: the $20 foliage reminds me of http://imgur.com/x6qYB3J
mike_c: but still, just put your goddamn pants on so we can go to the park.
mike_c: Although there is that weird feeling of frustration and pride when your stubborn two year old will not do what you want, but you realize that's because he is a lot like you.
pete_dushenski: not that the unconditional love thing probably doesn't hold some appeal
mircea_popescu: beats wood off the authentic cross and holy water from the whatever.
pete_dushenski: "For just $19.99, ShipFoliage.com will send you a few leaves harvested from the colorful forest floors of Vermont and New Hampshire. “Each leaf is carefully picked and color balanced in a bundle of three,” the website reads." << so $6.66 for a generic leaf ?? what was that about money not growing on trees ?
mircea_popescu: should explain a lot about the state of the world.
mircea_popescu recalls many winters ago going through books, discovering $680 express charge. turns out that if you want nyc service "within three days" you gotta pay like a week's wages. otherwise, the waiting list's 5 weeks long.
mike_c: hehe, don't lose that guy's number. I bet a good contractor is almost as hard to find down there as it is up here.
mircea_popescu: stories from the deep, for my good friends in nyc (paging mike_c ) : plumer called yest ; said he's gonna show up today between noon and 3. showed up at 1. fixed thing with his own parts, half hour labour, certified sort of task. the bill ? ~120.
mircea_popescu: is stubbly fingers bad in the us ?
punkman: "Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits."
punkman: "There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers."
punkman: "Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump."

asciilifeform: but re: phf et al, yes, with 5x the budget i would indeed rent five warehouses while living in a coffin.
mircea_popescu: this makes it a better thing to do than any alternative, for the guy in question.
mircea_popescu: anyway, inplainer terms : the point of rolly by some schmuck's house is that you get to be in the car, and the clock is ticking, and you almost certainly won't get shot.
assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 03:45:57; BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> why bother ? << Because they know black people don't live hear, and they want me to call local PD because they anticipate racism.
