decimation: apparently the 'new' system is a complete rewrite in ada
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: neato! ty
BingoBoingo: You are very welcome and thank you.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: one left in footnote 2
asciilifeform: other than that, looks perfect
asciilifeform: was a bit of a hurried job on my part, BingoBoingo asked for a likbez, and,
asciilifeform knew he would not have time to write later this week
asciilifeform: and hence this.
asciilifeform: decimation: i can't help but wonder if somewhere, in a damp cellar, a kid is studying 'JOVIAL'
asciilifeform: thinking 'now i'll find work'
decimation: well, it would have been a paying gig for 40 years now
asciilifeform: for the 'old boys'
decimation: 'the old boys' are retiring
asciilifeform: so are, one might note, their machines.
decimation: indeed, the problem with the machines isn't that they are broken
decimation: it's that no one knows how they work exactly
decimation: 'no one' in the sense of anyone employed directly be usg
assbot: President Barack Obama Speaks with Kara Swisher (Full Transcript) | Re/code ... ( http://bit.ly/1AQrRWV )
decimation: "Let’s talk about encryption. What’s wrong with what Google and Apple are doing? You have encrypted email — shouldn’t everybody have encrypted email, or have their protections? Everybody should. And I’m a strong believer in strong encryption."
decimation: "I’m as strong as I have been. I think the only concern is our law enforcement is expected to stop every plot. Every attack. Any bomb on a plane. The first time that attack takes place in which it turns out that we had a lead and we couldn’t follow up on it, the public’s going to demand answers." < 'leadership' at its finest
asciilifeform: bureaucrats, snore.
decimation: "So there’s no scenario in which we don’t want really strong encryption. The narrow question is going to be if there is a proper request for … this isn’t bulk collection, this isn’t sort of fishing expeditions by government."
decimation: we want strong encryption that can be compromised
decimation: now that's something I can stand for!
decimation: "And you’re still with the BlackBerry, right?
decimation: I use a BlackBerry mainly because I’m so restricted in what I can do that it’s basically just messages, and it’s still easier for me to tap off the [BlackBerry]. But basically most of my non-work-related stuff, I’m working off the iPad."
decimation: What non-work-related stuff does Obama 'do'?
decimation: like, playing angry birds?
asciilifeform: tetris ?
decimation: maybe he plays 'risk' against putin
decimation: "Ukraine is weak!"
decimation: asciilifeform: did you know that the latest C++ standard includes a lame implementation of 'lambda'?
decimation: I was reading a newer C++ text today and laughed when I saw it
asciilifeform: !s sword hilts

asciilifeform: !s sword hilt

asciilifeform: here we go
decimation: maybe the next version will include an ascii-art image of dr. mccarthy
mod6: well look at that: http://dpaste.com/1Y82G5E
assbot: dpaste: 1Y82G5E ... ( http://bit.ly/1AQulEO )
mod6: it works!
mod6 pulls blocks
mod6: already have 11k and counting
asciilifeform: weight ?
mod6: 22mb
asciilifeform: and is 22mb the stripped elf ?
mod6: ah, no that's not stripped.
asciilifeform: strip plz
asciilifeform: i'm assuming x86 ?
mod6: the last 3 commands of that build script never seem to run for some reason
mod6: yeah x86_64

mod6: im already at 100k blocks.
decimation: asciilifeform: I like how the internal schematic is etched on the device
asciilifeform: i find it peculiar that only one such battery appears to have been mounted
asciilifeform: (one might imagine a museum exhibit could have been 'censored' but there is no obvious place in the guidance barrel for a second)
decimation: well, maybe that's why there are two 'squibs' to release the electrolyte?
asciilifeform: but only one battery
asciilifeform: what if.
decimation: well, there are two in the unit "A" and "B"
decimation: maybe that was considered enough redundancy? who knows.
asciilifeform: my guess is that the rocket itself was viewed as 'redundant'
asciilifeform: what's one less, one more.
decimation: I'm surprised they didn't use the heat coming off the nuclear core for some purpose
asciilifeform: that'd be the logical thing.
asciilifeform: not so much of it
decimation: heh yeah probably not for the logic of that day
asciilifeform: about same as a teapot.
asciilifeform: heatwise
decimation: could be enough to run a small modern micro
asciilifeform: if you've a way to reliably chill the cold end of thermocouple - sur
decimation: ah that's a good point

asciilifeform: platinum toilet.
asciilifeform: ^ very interesting link, one of the designers spills various technical beans
asciilifeform: with napkin sketches, etc
asciilifeform: either a 'loose lips' or - more likely - ancient disinfo reworked for www
asciilifeform: (an american national sport was, at one time, to 'turn loose' mildly buggy military w4r3z for ru folks to find)
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] but to somehow lay out electrical logic elements at the customary densities without resort to a $1B factory. << for the record, this is a hobble.
ben_vulpes: customary densities are a product of red queen dynamics.
asciilifeform: customary - at least something like an intel 4004
asciilifeform: not speaking of 'pentium' here!
ben_vulpes: if the goal is "compute by the yard", make more yards, not smaller compute.
decimation: ah "Batteries: There was a battery at the top in the G&C section and also used to power stage III, a battery in the middle stage II and at the bottom for stage I. There was an umbilical cable at top and bottom, from G&C and stage I, to provide silo “battery” power for checkout."
decimation: apparently the gyros operated continuously while in the silo to reduce launch time
decimation: I wonder how often they failed
asciilifeform: decimation: there is a legend about this
asciilifeform: on ru side
asciilifeform: that it was not deemed economical to use jewelled bearing, as americans did, and the oil of a certain inedible bean (forget which) was employed as lubricant
asciilifeform: which mostly worked
asciilifeform: but couldn't spin continuously
asciilifeform: had to spin up 'when politics were hot' or the like.
decimation: and then replaced after some operating time presumably
decimation: or at least, re-greased
mod6: wow, this thing is really flying
mod6: 141k
ben_vulpes: mod6: what are you running tonight?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: re 4004: i'm imagining devices at least 10x that scale.
ben_vulpes: imagining -> expecting
asciilifeform: 10x or 1/10
asciilifeform: so glorified ttl ?
ben_vulpes: perhaps of that scale.
mod6: v0.5.3 base + patches { 1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7 } + openssl 1.0.1g with a modified portotronic build script - all statically linked libs
asciilifeform: congrats mod6 !
ben_vulpes: whoa, all statically linked?
mod6: ty
mod6: we'll see if it passes 160001
decimation: asciilifeform: it will be interesting to see how your 'macrofab' order works out
asciilifeform: will post photos, etc
decimation: did they charge reasonable prices for the non-'house' parts?
asciilifeform: anyone's bet whether they'll ship on schedule, and, if so, exactly -what-
asciilifeform: they skin you on pcb
decimation: did you end up using eagle or kicad?
asciilifeform: kicad is unusable
asciilifeform: this is an old design
asciilifeform: (>1yr now)

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: minuteman << did you ever read into the 'amateur' rocketry group with whom i dorked around for a while in undergrad?
asciilifeform did not have the honour of partaking in any such thing
ben_vulpes: 'twas a fine introduction to what could be done in a garage without the military overhead.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i very much thought of it when i found that link
asciilifeform: think of how it could have went with modern cnc
ben_vulpes: we made our own spinning fin cans at one point! garage bearing races of... 0.2m diameter!
ben_vulpes: out of hardened steel no less
ben_vulpes: that we hardened ourselves
asciilifeform: i still think it's odd that the americans never really discovered electrolytic milling
asciilifeform: where it doesn't matter one lick whether material is hardened
ben_vulpes: we just cut slowly.
asciilifeform: and expensively
ben_vulpes: 'twasn't *that* expensive.
asciilifeform: good cutters cost a fortune
asciilifeform: even for (what may be) world's smallest lathe
ben_vulpes: there are a few different hardnesses one can achieve.
ben_vulpes: the hack was finding the sweet spot in race/bearing hardnesses.
asciilifeform: so far i've been able to stick to nonferrous.
ben_vulpes: carbides?
asciilifeform: working materials, that is
ben_vulpes: yes well that does make life easier haw
ben_vulpes: al's fucking butter
asciilifeform: i did learn the hard way what it does to a grinding wheel
ben_vulpes: hahahahahahaha
ben_vulpes: hey at least you're not trying to cut steel with diamond bits.
asciilifeform: srsly, you go & try apprenticing with no master.
ben_vulpes: *foomp*
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i did.
ben_vulpes: for at least a whole year.
asciilifeform regards C dissolving in Fe as an elementary fact
asciilifeform: that ought to be obvious to anyone who walks into the workshop
ben_vulpes: someone took pity on me in the warehouse as i worked my way through quarter inch plate with a hand cutter and provided me with an acetylene torch.
ben_vulpes: made the quarter.
ben_vulpes must piss on each and every fence
ben_vulpes: just you know
ben_vulpes: to find the electric ones
ben_vulpes: but hey at least i made my waste oil furnace
ben_vulpes: there was a chinese restaurant up the way that had a drum of cooking oil
ben_vulpes: free heat!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: before i fall asleep, i remembered to tell, that there actually were 'integrated circuits' in ussr that were built in the way you suggest
ben_vulpes: i suggested a method?
asciilifeform: out of uncommonly small physically-discrete transistors
mod6: 166k
ben_vulpes: mm ah
ben_vulpes: almost!
asciilifeform: legend also has it that one of the items secretly salvaged by h. hughes's 'glomar explorer' mega-ship was a collection of such circuits
decimation: asciilifeform: were they individually packaged?
asciilifeform: the transistors ?
asciilifeform: i do not presently know.
asciilifeform: but my understanding is that they were placed by hand.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i dreamt once of coercing bugs into placing such devices.
ben_vulpes: i was taking classes in chaos theory, control theory and installing machines for a biologist at the time.
asciilifeform: what kid hasn't considered ants, pheromone trail computer.
ben_vulpes looks back at his work history in wonder
asciilifeform: !s ant colony
assbot: 4 results for 'ant colony' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=ant+colony
ben_vulpes: more amoebic placement.
mod6: passed 168,001
asciilifeform: mod6: congrats
ben_vulpes: golf claps
mod6: :]
mod6: ty ty
asciilifeform thanks mod6 for fixing his catastrophic bug
asciilifeform reminds all therealbitcoin folks to 'trust but verify'
mod6 thanks asciilifeform for building the portotronic & build script
asciilifeform: (or in the original rhyming proverb, 'доверяй но проверяй')
mod6: ah! yes.
mod6: well gentlemen, that's all for me tonight. ima let it run, see how it does overnight. will report more tomorrow.
asciilifeform: good night mod6 & co
asciilifeform must also be off to bed
mod6: ni!

It is also shorter and less awkward than having to say “his or her” all the time.
nubbins`: funny, i automatically thought that i must have the books of all others.

It is also shorter and less awkward than having to say “his or her” all the time.

mircea_popescu: decimation generally, as opposed to a speciffic one.
decimation: ah I see
asciilifeform: the ancient ru proverb re: 'for every sly arse, there's a threaded cock' is the relevant one
decimation: yes, the problem of 'jamming' arbitrary comms (unknown to the designer) is quite difficult
asciilifeform: the cock thread - has to match
mircea_popescu: and so is the problem of "diddling" in the general case.
asciilifeform: the thread-will-meet-the-arse-correctly-but-without-foreknowledge is called 'intelligence' and folks call any solution that calls for it 'ai-complete'
asciilifeform: which is possibly the only verdict more dire than 'np-complete'
asciilifeform: when you are discussing a particular bullet fired by the enemy, rather than enemy per se, you may safely assume that it is not intelligent, and thus is the cock of particular rather than universal thread.
asciilifeform: that's roughly it.
mircea_popescu: "The results were overwhelming: 88 percent of women reported having experienced at least one incident in which their friendliness was misinterpreted as sexual interest by a man, and on average it had occurred about 3.5 times in the last year alone. Men also reported experiencing sexual misperception, but the rate — 70.6 percent — was far lower. These rates were pretty similar to what was found in the original, U.S.
mircea_popescu: -based study, which found that around 90 percent of women reported that their friendliness had been misperceived at least once in their lifetimes, on average 2.7 times in the last year, with about 70 percent of men reporting having experienced this."
mircea_popescu: overwhelming my foot.
mircea_popescu: a) the difference is not even significantly above statistical noise ; b) significant fudge, such as, "women are more likely to self-flatter themselves this particular way" not accounted for in ANY manner.
mircea_popescu: how about asking men and women about how many cases they themselves witnessed involving OTHER people ?
mircea_popescu: but no, why make a study that makes sense but doesn't support our chosen policy nonsense.
