mod6, the machine hosting that keyset magically died earlier -- just as i was about to read your thing, imagine that. seems the mobo went, though tbh it's a little weird, will have it cut up later. |
| 07:33 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway, will replace the system during this week ; if it's an emergency/not that important re-encrypt to mp_en_viaje ; if not i'll see then. |

mircea_popescu: oh no! sorry to hear about the mobo. not an emergency at all. in a rush atm, will re-send later, no worries. :] |

mircea_popescu: how many yrs do you typically get out of those mobos ? |
| 11:14 |
mircea_popescu |
this one died in five months. |
| 11:15 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: if not a mega-seekrit , what was it ? |
| 11:15 |
mircea_popescu |
gigabyte something |
| 11:17 |
asciilifeform |
fwiw the 1 asciilifeform is sitting on just nao, is going on 14 yrs ( albeit recapped in '17 ) of 24/7 run |
| 11:19 |
asciilifeform |
in other noose, ECC event on dulap. 'Corrected error, no action required.' |

asciilifeform sees these 1-2x/yr |

mircea_popescu |
nfi, pretty weird. i have decade+ mobos too |
| 11:25 |
mircea_popescu |
but certainly not this one. |
| 11:25 |
mircea_popescu |
then again, this i bought a) recently and b) here |
| 11:26 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: i fully expect that early 2000s mb's will do decade+ unless one hammers nails with'em |
| 11:26 |
mircea_popescu |
kinda same. |
| 11:28 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: betcha it's a dead cap. |

apropos historical : '90s workstations ( hp, sgi, even some crapples ) sometimes had mechanically-swappable vreg+caps modules. |
| 14:40 |
asciilifeform |
typical example. |
| |
~ 22 minutes ~ |
| 15:02 |
mircea_popescu |
then again, they totally needed them. |
| 15:04 |
asciilifeform |
dunno, i have such things as sgi 'octane', dec 'alpha', from late '90s, that still run w/ orig. components |
| 15:05 |
mircea_popescu |
plenty of horror stories from the early 90s, kinda similar to ye olde early-Ttank stories. |
| 15:05 |
asciilifeform |
indeed; tho most of these feature konsoomer comps |
| 15:08 |
asciilifeform |
the 'clock speed race' tempted vendors into cutting corners (i.e. 'new cpu 2x as hot but we'll use same room-temp-rated parts around it because Who Will Notice!11' ) |
| 15:10 |
asciilifeform |
components since '70s traditionally sold with 'temperature class' stamp : 'commercial' (saddest; 0-85C) ; 'industrial' (-40-100C) ; 'automobile' (-40-125C) ; 'military' (-55-125C, sometimes moar) |
| 15:13 |
asciilifeform |
there are fine gradations inside the 'classes' also (chiefly degradation curves vs temp, e.g. in vreg , de-rated in re max tolerable voltage spike, or hrs of expected life, or both, at high temp ) , it's a quite gnarly biz |
| 15:23 |
mircea_popescu |
aha. |
| 15:25 |
asciilifeform |
ftr FG was made of 'commercial', to keep cost reasonable. tho i've selected random samples and cooled to -20 / heated to +60 ; passed tests. but item is ftr not made for use inside freezer or oven. |
| 15:27 |
asciilifeform |
( primary headache with higher grades of part , is ~availability~, rather than cost per se (tends to be +10/+20%) -- if yer baking a small (less than 10,000) run, need 'cut-tape' purchase, which usually only exists in 'commercial' grade ) |
| 15:29 |
asciilifeform |
atm if you want a FG for use in mars probe -- gotta do it sovok-style, take 10 and test in the desired conditions , pick the champ. |
| 15:32 |
asciilifeform |
( if fuel is not a concern, fly all 10 and xor'em!1111 -- in all seriousness, rng is perhaps the easiest part known to man where to implement redundancy ) |
| |
~ 33 minutes ~ |
| 16:05 |
mircea_popescu |
right. |
| 16:07 |
asciilifeform |
interestingly, ye olde stochastic logic theoretically gives this for all gates. |
| 16:07 |

Logged on 2019-01-15 12:35:38 asciilifeform: you represent the inputs ( any # of'em ) via stochasticizers, i.e. each 1 gets a comparator that eats N bits of rng and outputs a 1 if they represent integer <= the currently latched binary number, 0 otherwise. |

asciilifeform, pretty cool |

mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform, qntra piece brings a great point to the fore, incidentally : the usg managed to implode its colonial posessions / colonial "influence sphere" in the new world JUST EXACTLY like the soviets managed three decades prior. |
| 21:56 |
mircea_popescu |
except THESE idiots have no "greater enemy" to "blame" for it. |
| 21:56 |
mircea_popescu |
they did it by themselves, for themselves, ~through being themselves~. JUST LIKE the other idiots. |
| 21:57 |
mircea_popescu |
just like all the other idiots ever, starting with every 4 year old. no, the chair isn't alive and didn't willingly trip you up. |
