asciilifeform: ( if you don't recirculate -- e.g., mine, does not -- limits power greatly, because gotta exchange heat )

mircea_popescu: still with that huh.
kanzure: except this one is hilarious
mircea_popescu: everyone's forever enamoured with the scammer-of-the-day. back in groupon times everyone was liek "groupon !!!"
mircea_popescu: thgen that dumb white bitch came up with this whole scam, everyone's her now.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706072 << if this were a universal cure , ocr error would be 0. thinkaboutit.

a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 15:50 asciilifeform: lottery winners have not merely 0 to teach, but 'learning' from them tends to make folx dumber.
asciilifeform: or see naggum's discussion of how 1990s consisted of series of imbeciles who 'wanted to be next microshit'
mircea_popescu: which it did.
mircea_popescu: therte's that ancient adage, "nothing's worse for a start-up than a bad money source early on".
mircea_popescu: there is something. a bad model earlier on.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706104 << this view of cocaine is specific of the non-user. i never saw or heard of cocaine allowing more living per.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 03:22 BingoBoingo: Anyway why focus on longevity? Why not focus on solutions like cocaine that allow for more living per year?
mircea_popescu: as if i fucking need to squeeze 120% out of a party. why ? if i like it that much ima just do it again nextweek, for +100%.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why buy the magic powder ( and dissolve yer septum ) then.
asciilifeform: whatfor.
asciilifeform: if not for 'live for the peaks, not the area under curve' .
mircea_popescu: again, this is the theoretical view of movie cocaine. it dun work in this manner in practice.
asciilifeform not tried
mircea_popescu: actually, in biological terms sugar is a very fine comparison point.
mircea_popescu: bad for you, esp in quantities ; can have some chocolate now and again ; ruins the taste of coffee or tea.
mircea_popescu: people HAVE historically claimed it's "good for you" "better food than food" "makes you smart" etc. especially back when not most people could get it.
asciilifeform: ( most recently -- freud? )
mircea_popescu: i guess.
asciilifeform: paging gabriel_laddel !!1!
asciilifeform wonders: perhaps d00d finally got his wish : found cocaine . and hence never again heard from.
asciilifeform: or was it meth, that he dreamed of.
mircea_popescu: i dun recall
asciilifeform: as i understand, all adrenergics are roughly similar ( in same way as all liquors, say ) in basic flavour of effect
asciilifeform: so not much diff
mircea_popescu: quite possible.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706116 << theoretically, a reverser of caffeine tolerance would be all the cocaine anybody could want..
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 03:30 kanzure: happened a looong time ago. ever since "bullet proof coffee" and even before that. really awful history.
asciilifeform: for some reason ( afaik ) 0 attempts in this direction, to date.
asciilifeform: there is nothing magical re tolerances. it's a physical condition, just as potentially removable as any other.
asciilifeform: so happens that i remember my first cup of coffee, very well. but to drink it again !
mircea_popescu: o really ?
mircea_popescu: i dun recall it impressing.
asciilifeform: depends on the drinker. iirc the particular locus even was found. i may even have read in kanzure's links some time last decade.
mircea_popescu: i think it might be a cultural thing. milk coffee was common breakfast kiddy thing in ro. i was amused to discover same is true in say nicaragua.
asciilifeform: i was speaking of properly lethal black coffee of course.
mircea_popescu: yeah. possibly why not.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706103 << funnily enough, exactly same as my view of computer.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706124 << which is the better q here. why not commodify the gas, have really large gas pools for excitation.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 04:06 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706038 << above 2-3kW they recirculate the lasing gas per se. prolly unbeatable re cooling .
mircea_popescu: if lab can keep an o2 tank, it can also keep an co2 laser tank
asciilifeform: entirely commodified, wat
asciilifeform: buy at welding shop.
asciilifeform: is where one gets it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a mix tho, co2 is trace amt in laser co2.
asciilifeform: i dun think i ever once set foot in a lab without a co2 tank
mircea_popescu: LASER co2 mix. different co2.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you buy your particular mix.
mircea_popescu: ok then. so wtf is this "100w laser". measure it in liters instead.
asciilifeform: 100w is the tabletop item most folx have. sealed tube.
mircea_popescu: yes, but unseal the tube and use a large amt of gas.
asciilifeform: water inlet for cooling.
mircea_popescu: and cool that selfsame gas.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's the 20k+usd pro variant, is exactly how.
mircea_popescu: yes but dun have to be 20k usd. just get a cubic meter of gas mix, and some flexible pipe.
asciilifeform: it dun make sense at low power, to bother, so they ain't made small.
mircea_popescu: blow tube with holes in it.
mircea_popescu: my point being : you can blow your own tube, buy your own gas, hook it all up, and let it go. kitchenware.
asciilifeform: the bitch, funnily, is never the tube
asciilifeform: but the optics
mircea_popescu: reuse optics from a current piece.
asciilifeform: the alignment.
asciilifeform: ( as for 'from current', higher power demands better optic, for obvious reason )
mircea_popescu: i guess. though you know, overclocking.
asciilifeform: me, i'd like direct diode-to-whatwe'recutting .
asciilifeform: fuck mirrors.
asciilifeform: incidentally, the 'kilowatt diode' ( and even 30W chinese item from last year's thread) are from a certain pov shams :
asciilifeform: they are aggregates
asciilifeform: of small ( 1-5W) diodes. and they don't cohere together (because how?)
mircea_popescu: cascade them ?
asciilifeform: that won't make the waves align
mircea_popescu: whole principle of laser is that excited atom will spit out photon in phase with photon going by
asciilifeform: consider why one even cuts with laser, and not with gigantic lamp and lens
asciilifeform: ( laser is possibly the least efficient known electrical light source , watt per watt in vs out )
mircea_popescu: no seriously, this is actually used. take weak laser from tube 1 through tube 2.
asciilifeform: point being, they don't align phasewise: so N W-watt diode != N*W watt tube.
asciilifeform: ( by how much it loses, i leave as exercise for readers )
mircea_popescu: well not diodes, no. but N W-watt tube is = kNW tube.
asciilifeform: and yes it is used.
asciilifeform: when no other choice.
asciilifeform: ( most obviously -- to pump a larger item )
asciilifeform: pumping is the classical recipe for 'add N lasers'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706103 << a nootropic reasonably defined (such as here) is exactly a munchausen artefact

mircea_popescu: moreover, no, most emphatically NO there could not be subdivisions below the satoshi. in fact, not even fractions as small as the 100s of satoshis can be practically used.
mircea_popescu: there's a limited ammount of different transactions that can be indexed, and that limit is not 2.1e12.
mircea_popescu: why do these dorks imagine they're involved with bitcoin again ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> as if i fucking need to squeeze 120% out of a party. why ? if i like it that much ima just do it again nextweek, for +100%. << Gotta address the biohackers and their "Drugs are bad, let's edit the meat" crowd.

ben_vulpes: running joke is that girl is so miserable it better be 2nd and 3rd for all the damn trouble
kanzure: what is the specific complaint about a star shade other than narcissism?
ben_vulpes: lord only knows what unintended consequences it'll have, neh?
kanzure: ah good thing everyone is omniscient... what?
asciilifeform: or how about 'i didn't ask to be shaded' ?
kanzure: is it going to shade you?
asciilifeform: i can see it as a (largely fictional) weapon. against folx who have nothing with which to disagree.
kanzure: almost everything can be weaponized. that's not a good argument.
asciilifeform: i mean, it is intrinsically a weapon. like nuke.
trinque: humans fail at making predictions on far less complex systems than "lol teh whole sun/earth interaction".
trinque: so, fuck right off.
asciilifeform: i, for instance, dun agree to be shaded. and do not see it as substantially different from being bombed.
kanzure: the sun shade does not necessarily need to be used between the sun and earth. there are many potential uses for sunshades, some that even provide experimental data without loss of life ~necessarily.
asciilifeform: and hbomb can be used to mine in asteroid...
trinque: it was brought up in the context of "climate change". don't slime sideways now.
trinque: cowardly conversation tactic.
kanzure: eh, i think it would be tested before using it re: climate change.
ben_vulpes: more of the classic progressive "we'll fix the world for the poor brown people, because they can't want it for themselves"
kanzure: why would you bring the poor into this
kanzure: if we're going to talk about cowardly conversation tactics how about "omg you're going to nuke us because you're planning to deploy a sun shade"
asciilifeform: kanzure: what part of 'i don't want to be shaded' is hard to understand ?
asciilifeform: i deny this 'we' the californirasts operate with.
kanzure: what part of "why are you going to be shaded?" did you forget to reply to
asciilifeform: i ain't ever joining in this 'we'.
kanzure: ("is it going to shade you?")
asciilifeform: this includes the taxation with which kanzure et al intend to further their megalomania.
kanzure: huh?
asciilifeform: does kanzure intend to build it with own pocket money ?
kanzure: if you consider my existence to be overly taxing to you, perhaps you should drop dead
trinque: "there's no time to understand what we're doing; lives are at stake!"
kanzure: i've lost the flow of this conversation.
kanzure: so why would deploying a star shade and testing it-- perhaps not even on the earth-- preclude understanding what you're doing?
trinque: channel's logged bub, and you still haven't absorbed the implications of that.
kanzure: i haven't absorbed the implication of logged channels?

trinque: no, you haven't
trinque: and I've dealt with enough valleytards to be familiar with the crabwalk you do in arguments.
kanzure: so, for example, there seems to be an assumption that a star shade would *have* to shade asciilifeform. why?
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706397 << meanwhile this tactic hopes the reader assumes the best, while the writer avoided making a hard statement.

kanzure: why do i need to make a hard statement about a star shade deployment plan?
kanzure: isn't it a little early for me to mae such a specific proposal..?
kanzure: also: around these parts, is it sacrilege to speak about technologies that aren't at the far end of nasa's readiness scale? that might explain a lot.

trinque: if you can't communicate a specific model, why are you talking, other than to cast your upvote for whatever futurememe gives you a semi?
asciilifeform: how about, say, i ~like~ warmer climate, and don't want it 'mitigated' ?
asciilifeform: how'bout that ?
asciilifeform: how about nasa is a subsidy for lockheed, and oughta go away with the rest of the idiot reich ?
kanzure: trinque: i think our disagreement is regarding the level of readiness or detail of a model. your requirement is one for models that are much more mature. i think it would be better if you insist on as much upfront in the future... i'll try to keep that in mind.
kanzure: ben_vulpes: well, low-cost non-shading approaches might be <$1B but i have given those less thought. you can deploy nukes for less than $1B (like to change orbit parameters) but that also causes other problems that would be viewed as more extreme than climate change.
asciilifeform: how about 'sun shade' is an instrument of world government, and fuck world government ?
ben_vulpes: lol changing orbit parameters; this is a classic
kanzure: no that doesn't work so well; private space ventures would then also be world government instruments.
ben_vulpes: "frisky dingo:
ben_vulpes: epic cartoon btw
kanzure: asciilifeform: regarding your preference for warmer climates, is there a limit?
kanzure: upper limit
asciilifeform: i'd rather roast to death than live under amerireich.
kanzure: wouldn't roasting to death interfere with your no-suck computer goals
asciilifeform: my ultimate goal would be satisfied -- the demolition of californitardia and all it stood for.
ben_vulpes: and hey, a mere three degree increase could kill enough folks to bring the population back to a reasonable level.
kanzure: is three degrees enough for that
ben_vulpes: n degrees.
asciilifeform: at risk of digressing, i will note that it is gut-bustingly funny that people who cannot produce a comp that doesn't crash, prattle on about planet-reshaping wunderwaffen

kanzure: have i claimed that i am going to move the earth? what?
asciilifeform: not speaking of you specifically, kanzure
asciilifeform: but of the megalomania implicit in taking a serious interest in planeteering, per se
kanzure: do you have a specific problem with megalomania? or am i going to get a zen butt statement about balance in reply..
asciilifeform: people who lean to megalomania that they haven't the resources to make flesh -- i find merely boring
asciilifeform: those who proclaim intent to steal the requisite resources, by politicking -- i call the enemy.
asciilifeform: not because 'they will mutilate the earth' -- that threat will be credible some time after they can make an os that actually works
asciilifeform: but because they drop snr and make a mockery of thinking itself.
asciilifeform: the last generation of idiot-savants gave socialists the nuke. this one wants to give'em, what, death star.
asciilifeform: trinque's point re narcissism was spot on. these people see non-californirasts, who don't subscribe to the collective 'we musts', as NPCs.
asciilifeform: to be planeteered over, surveilled, dekulakized ( via, e.g., kanzure's 'well-regulated' bait-and-switch shitcointronics ) , re-dieted to mealsquares, etc.
asciilifeform: kanzure et al walk up and say, in essence, 'i own you, meat.' 'your home is my plaything' 'your labour is for me to dispose of'. thing is, if it were true, he would not have to say anything -- just as farmer does not have to say it to the cow
asciilifeform: we are looking at attempted bamboozlement, rather than true domination.
asciilifeform: and the one thing the target always CAN do -- is to withhold the cooperation.
kanzure: what value would it be to dominate a bunch of aimless folx?
asciilifeform: that's a question for kanzure .
asciilifeform: i for one have nfi what he thinks he is doing here.
kanzure: seems that you think i am here for "true domination". you said so just a moment ago..
asciilifeform: well kanzure's answer to 'no, i don't want a usa-controlled planeteering death star to exist' was not 'oh hey this 1 d00d doesn't like it, guess i won't advocate to build it'
asciilifeform: but 'fuck you, i'll do what i want'
asciilifeform: that's definitionally 'domination', neh
asciilifeform: i for one do not know ( though can make educated guess ! ) what kanzure is doing in bitcoin. but asciilifeform's interest in it is specifically in bringing this whole 'international Consensused We' to a permanent end.
asciilifeform: it is why i work on, e.g., trb, despite having scarcely any coin personally.

mircea_popescu: so, i don't have a reservoir here. i could build one, but i don't want to, because it'd be too small (there's a minimum size of reservoir, because the algae ie "taste" is a function of surface approx, whereas volume obv matter of volume ; if your tank is not big enough it'll be flavoured.)
mircea_popescu: consequently, water is pumped.
mircea_popescu: now, the main pump is obviously pressure graded : if pressure drops it kicks into higher gear. the heating system has its own pump. which, of course, ALSO presure graded.
mircea_popescu: and the shower has a pair of buttons : if you increase the hot water debit, this drops pressure for the hot pump, which kicks in, dropping pressure for the main pump, which kicks in. and vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: because of this complicated arrangement, i can experiment with histerezis in my shower!

BingoBoingo shocked fake news hadn't been bragging about this one
mircea_popescu: they tend to only brag about the meaningless/pointless/nonsense ones.
BingoBoingo: AH, he pepper sprayed some antifags in self defense. Turned self in when protesters filed warrant for "of illegal use of gasses and injury by caustic agent or explosive"
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha. wait, every dumb bitch with mace in her purse is facing 20 in jail ?
mircea_popescu: lulzy democracy you got there.

mircea_popescu: it is also sacrilege to imagine nasa is relevant. there's no difference between random landscaper/jailbird injecting industial silicone into trannies behind a bar and the nist/ieee/etc as far as the republic is concerned : both are operating without a license and lying about it.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the easiest way to be unpopular in middle America is to be a protester. By keeping alt-right from protesting the antiflags are monopolizing the being protester hate
mircea_popescu: nasa isn't even there. so no, nobody gives a shit what "nasa readiness" bla bla says anymore than what tardpedia wrote on any topic.

asciilifeform: libraries were spiffy back when filled with actual work, by actual people
asciilifeform: but somehow not obvious that dropping snr by churning out liquishit is every bit as destructive as burning library ?
asciilifeform: ( far more so... a burned library, could be restored conceivably from copies. a liquishitted library, field, whole of academia -- try and fix ! )
asciilifeform bbl, meat
trinque: BingoBoingo: I continue to read into the history of the Houston Bayous; this will likely end up a blog post rather than quick news.
trinque: for example, I learn that a certain George HW Bush as state congressman worked against the straightening and lining with concrete of buffalo bayou!
BingoBoingo: trinque: cool
trinque: !!up gabriel_laddel_p
deedbot: gabriel_laddel_p voiced for 30 minutes.
trinque: what's new in the life of g_l?
gabriel_laddel_p: almost died. just spent 30 days in the hospital.
trinque: what'd ya do?
gabriel_laddel_p: fell 2-3 stories directly onto my legs. shattered one.
trinque sits back for the story
gabriel_laddel_p: me goes "fuck you", stays up, codes for 2-3 days anyways.
gabriel_laddel_p: eventually forced into hospital
mod6: wat
trinque: what substance was involved in this genius decision, to code while leg shattered?
gabriel_laddel_p: I'm german and don't stop for anyone.
gabriel_laddel_p: that aside, just masamune bs.
gabriel_laddel_p: theoretically, aside from the place I'm at now I have a room paid for without me doing anything.
gabriel_laddel_p: but am lazy and have a lispm in front of me (more or less) and want to nail this damn thing.
gabriel_laddel_p: there is supposed to be a lisp conference in sf in like 10 months I have to prepare for
gabriel_laddel_p: would like to selll 100x machines there.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: how did it come about... misadventure with parachute?
trinque: forgive me if I disbelieve the part where you shattered your leg then went "meh, time to code"
trinque: also wtf, if you're going to tell a story start at the beginning
mod6: how did you "fall" ?
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I got preoccupied with girl on train, ended up heading to Berkley rather than Palo Alto by complete accident. oh no, 10:30!. Everything closed & I've been banned from all
gabriel_laddel_p: communities in sf / Berkley area
gabriel_laddel_p: me: "fuck you, I'm going to climb a building & code atop it till sun comes up".
trinque: ahaha
gabriel_laddel_p: this is already day 2 or 3 no sleep. little food. totally ran out of energy
asciilifeform: i had nfi it were possible to be 'banned from berkeley' - what is this, 1500s germany?
gabriel_laddel_p: (managed to climb anyways after accident). went back home after working for a few more days & scared the shit out of strangers / locals who've seen me via inability to walk
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: nonono, like all the houses of people I know in the area
gabriel_laddel_p: I've been banned from everything
gabriel_laddel_p: everywhere
gabriel_laddel_p: the "sf startup crowd" hates my guts.
asciilifeform: how'd that come about ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p threw a pie in thiel's face?
gabriel_laddel_p: I'm sane and they're unilaterally morons. I'm not coy about it.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: actually, someone who works next to thiel day in day out got demo'd masamune. didn't get it.
gabriel_laddel_p: "how does CLIM solve the problems of layout engines?"
gabriel_laddel_p: me: "listen, that you even think a 'layout engine' is a thing means you have no future, period. conversation is over, stop wasting my time"
trinque: look man you don't go around hitting people with the dick you imagine you'll have someday
trinque: or rather, you do, and it's hilarious. keep it up.
gabriel_laddel_p: fwiw, the conversation went of the rails before that. guy is actually a moron who by complete luck was involved with google earth.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: have you considered switching geographies ?
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I have a criminal record. prolly gotta make 20 MM or so first.
asciilifeform: how about outside of reich ?
asciilifeform: i dun think belarus gives a damn re your unpaid traffic fines etc
gabriel_laddel_p: easier to just make a bunch of money, pay off whatever.
gabriel_laddel_p: (lawyers, courts, passports)
asciilifeform: did usg actually impound yer passport, gabriel_laddel_p ?
gabriel_laddel_p: never had one.
gabriel_laddel_p: ve only lived two places. birthplace & CA.
asciilifeform: that'd be a problem.
asciilifeform: didntcha say sumthing about germany tho
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: you realize I don't like... pay bills, rent, whatever, right?
asciilifeform: in this case it's a plus
gabriel_laddel_p: like what the fuck even is paperwork
asciilifeform: can move anywhere
asciilifeform: can't get broker than broke, neh
gabriel_laddel_p: I want my goddamn lispm as of two decades ago please.
gabriel_laddel_p: why am /I/ doing this?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: speaking of this, while you had your misadventure, various things happened re march to lispm, e.g.,
asciilifeform: !#s ice40
asciilifeform: phf is in ru electron micrographing an 'ivory'
gabriel_laddel_p: these logs will make some fun reading.

gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: nah. like 20-something. I don't talk to her or anything, but, again, people run into, ban, then discuss me at lenght
kanzure: asciilifeform: the torrents are not mine; those are snapshots from either libgen or maybe scihub.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this also could go on the list, other than the teixochips and microscope : depdfizing and SELECTING the decent papers in that pile.
asciilifeform: kanzure: why dontcha simply re-create the engine ?
mircea_popescu: throw all the crap out, publish the rest as plain text/html.
mircea_popescu: could trivially throw out a large chunk by applying methodical selection criteria. "fails to include its dataset, NUKED"
kanzure: re: throwing out the crap, someone was working on 'compression' (since pdf is awful and highly redundant). he estimated the total data could be 10x reduced.
mircea_popescu: like in the old warez days.
gabriel_laddel_p: to finish that story, I was not even at this party, and don't to any of them + have started charging people to meet with me.
mircea_popescu: proper releases or go away.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p sounds like shit's looking up for you then!

gabriel_laddel_p: sf sucks. tsmr rocks.
mircea_popescu: AND the fact of the matter is that the whole "scientific community" is a bunch of desperate teenaged cunts. all they need is a trump to pussygrab them, and they're cheering for his appearnce.
mircea_popescu: throw up MOST of the papers, establish a level they have to meet, be the king of angloscience.

asciilifeform: btw worth recalling the fate of various 'open access journal'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness, all were run by jwzs.
