<incomprehensibly> ELLIOTTCABLE: i mean like it's not a hip bay area tech startup, but it's a very Web company so
<incomprehensibly> ELLIOTTCABLE: like i doubt they're getting any venture capital

<incomprehensibly> whitequark: would you be able to explain how bitcoin is designed to eat up the power you throw at it?
<incomprehensibly> like i don't get it on a deep enough level for that to make sense to me
<inimino> incomprehensibly: he means across the whole ecosystem
<inimino> incomprehensibly: the total mining rate is constant regardless of the number of miners
<inimino> so the people buying specialized hardware for it are just throwing money away unless they have some unique advantange over everyone else doing it

<ELLIOTTCABLE> ugh coffeescript
<whitequark> bitcoin

<purr\Paws> [primitives.js] ELLIOTTCABLE pushed 1 new commit to Master: https://github.com/Paws/primitives.js/commit/7d4092a8833c0a6466fad66fa62c7589507999e4
<purr\Paws> primitives.js/Master 7d4092a ELLIOTTCABLE: (- re up) No longer depending on Paws.js providing globals
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> guh always so many references to things I've never heard of; and always couched in unnecessarily confusing language
<whitequark> it makes sense in the context™
<whitequark> actually, the paper is quite readable
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Understand most of it, but “leads to machines that abstract into static analyses simply by bounding their stores.” is just gibberish to me.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> s/understand/can make sense of/
<whitequark> I think the idea is that you write an interpreter of a language in a specific way, and then by restricting the amount of stores (as a yardstick of meaningful operations it executes) you get back something that resembles a static analysis
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I've got quite the collection of random CS PDFs in my dropbox now o_O
<whitequark> reading random CS PDFs is a really good way to hate CS for the rest of your life
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol. bit late for that.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ‘stores?’
<whitequark> correction: achieve never seen before level of hate
<whitequark> uh
<whitequark> load/store
<whitequark> memory reads/writes
<ELLIOTTCABLE> k
<purr\Paws> [Paws.js] ELLIOTTCABLE pushed 3 new commits to Current: https://github.com/ELLIOTTCABLE/Paws.js/compare/431ffe999c68...343819968a61
<purr\Paws> Paws.js/Current 408ff8e ELLIOTTCABLE: (- fix API) Merge the existing utilities into the Lodash namespace...
<purr\Paws> Paws.js/Current 3438199 ELLIOTTCABLE: (- meta fix typo) Scripts: Run the correct shell integration-tests
<purr\Paws> Paws.js/Current 588f11b ELLIOTTCABLE: (!! fix API) The JS API no longer stomps on consumers' globals...
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: LOL
<whitequark> you'll enjoy this
<ELLIOTTCABLE> bluebie: do you still want that 6dof? I'm ordering a new one, so let me know if you want to buy this one off me <3
<whitequark> 6dof?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 3d mouse?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ‘’?
<whitequark> oh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ’-’
<whitequark> oh which one it is and how much you want
<whitequark> is it, ummmm
<whitequark> "SpaceWare" ?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 3dconnexion
<whitequark> yep, spaceware
<whitequark> oh, apparently spaceware is the name of the library.
<whitequark> I have a CAD which supports this.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ‘SpaceMouse Wireless.’ The desktop-class small one, not the portable one.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I love it with every ounce of my soul. Get one even if Bluebie takes mine.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> bluebie has dibs, but I'll give it to you for $100+shipping if she changes her mind.
<whitequark> half of RU retail, which would make me happy.
<whitequark> this reminds me.
<whitequark> I grabbed a metallographic microscope off ebay for $250
<whitequark> new one. that's about 1/6 of its real value.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wtf is that
<whitequark> microscope that illuminates the sample via the objective
<whitequark> as opposed to from behind
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ugh
<whitequark> i.e. it works for opaque samples, such as ICs
<whitequark> the customs broker has refused to send it to me.
<whitequark> asshol.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> confus. can't you just do that with a ring-light?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I mean, that's how my 'scope does it
<whitequark> say you have a 40x objective
<whitequark> it has to be about 0.8 to 1 mm from the sample
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ahhhh
<whitequark> preferably immersed in oil.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and it projects the light *through* the lens? crazy.
<whitequark> yes.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that's gotta involve some crazy mirror backflips
<whitequark> it's less complex than it first seems, but it's sure a nontrivial setup
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I guess it's basically a ring-light *inside* the body, eh
<whitequark> yes
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wtf oil?
<whitequark> index of refraction closer to glass
<whitequark> than air
<whitequark> so you get better resolution if you have a glass-oil-surface light path rather than glass-air-surface
<ELLIOTTCABLE> how does refraction index reduce resolution? link?
<whitequark> hm no references
<whitequark> sec
<ELLIOTTCABLE> nah nah that answered it
