Vex: asciilifeform, ever thought of drawing fg for pcie? fairly, i haven't checked the logs.
Vex: good excuse to rename the bitch and license to mfgs
Vex: ironically, the cheques'll come in random af
Vex: next thing you know a quorum of maffs qts are hiding your vodka
Vex: the resident ones obviously
Vex: embarrassingly, i've described a discovery channel pitch. it sounded different in my head
Vex: i would definitely watch alf trying to wrangle a bunch of oddly cute academics tho
Vex: but really the story goes that he is no puppet but also no puppeteer
Vex: you could fight 80's alf on pay per view
Vex: very nonsense. so noise

dulapbot: Logged on 2020-08-20 19:00:15 asciilifeform: it is also the case that rng as commercial product is a very questionable biz proposition. it takes quite a bit of 'adulthood' to even get to a place where you actually benefit from a 1000 $ rng. for instance, microshit victims dun really win anyffin from using whatever external rng.

asciilifeform lol re folx who did not even contemplate purchase of the original fg, suggesting rng costing ~10x moar
asciilifeform: ... further and moar lulzily re: pcie -- a pcie fg would not have fit in any of the racked boxes at piz where the orig was used -- iirc they all had single slot that was occupied by raid card
asciilifeform: (not even to mention the fundamental wtf of stuffing a board that shits @ 115200b into pcie)
asciilifeform: on top of this, pcie device can't be made 100% read-only (i.e. unfuckable by os state), it gotta config at boot time
asciilifeform: it'd make a modicum of sense, hypothetically, for a much faster rng (tho even there -- usb2 oughta suffice)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-30 10:14:01 asciilifeform: puman: towards the end of the #t age, asciilifeform even devised rng which could, unlike FG, reliably fill a coupla GB pad in coupla min.

asciilifeform: ( not even that it is necessarily irrelevant to breaking the genuine article; but the relevancy does not automatically follow from 'broke (n-x)-step variant'
