[00:49:37] <takyon_> oh yeah
[00:49:45] <takyon_> I was going to sub an article about AMD not sucking
[00:49:56] <takyon_> because when AMD isn't being a failure, that's news!
[00:51:37] <Bytram> well, tbh, they were the first 64-bit x86-style architecture...
[00:51:47] <Bytram> and, IIRC, they were also the first to break 1GHz
[00:53:12] <Bytram> then, they built an expensive foundry ahead of their need for it, and the overhead of that facility exceeded their cash flow and they started really cutting back on R&D which led to a downward spiral
[00:53:31] <Bytram> I could be mistaken, but that is my recollection.
[00:53:45] <Bytram> ISTR that Ars Had an excellent write-up on thier history a year or two ago.

[02:19:52] <SoyNigger420> Sup niggas.
[02:21:01] <crutchy> aye focker!
[02:21:16] <takyon_> a little late
[02:23:10] <SoyNigger420> This isn't even my final form.
[02:23:37] <SirFinkus> I'm watching a documentary about people jumping off the golden gate bridge
[02:23:41] <SirFinkus> they set up a camera and filmed people hitting
[02:23:53] <SirFinkus> but they added a splash sound effect and it's unintentionally hilarious
[02:24:56] <SoyNigger420> Takyon, I attempted to comment on your chink journal. Something about Chinese cuck fantasies of the hung White men talking their petite Asian wimmin.
[02:25:57] <SoyNigger420> Fink, dont people commit suicide off that bridge? Why does the impact not kill them instantly?
[02:26:14] <SirFinkus> it does, that's what the documentary is about
[02:26:45] <takyon_> something like that
[02:26:59] <SirFinkus> "kerplunk" sound effects aside, the filmmakers are kind of clever
[02:27:55] <SirFinkus> they zoom on on a bunch of people walking across the bridge that look like "jumpers" to lead up to an actual jump
[02:28:52] <SirFinkus> "is this the guy who jumps?"
[02:30:51] <SoyNigger420> If it's San Fran, then nothing of value was lost
[02:31:16] <Subsentient> SoyNigger420: Hiyah
[02:31:19] <SirFinkus> people travel from around the world to jump off that bridge apparently
[02:34:01] <takyon_> nice jumping aesthetic
[02:34:20] <SirFinkus> a lot are lazy though
[02:34:31] <SirFinkus> don't even walk to the middle of the bridge

[02:48:37] <CheekDickSlap> 'Sup.
[02:49:53] <CheekDickSlap> I heard about the Uber situation through Jew/TPP/Refugee-loving NPR.
[02:50:32] <CheekDickSlap> They say it will bring more wages to drivers. But in reality what it will do is make them the same fucking thing as taxis.
[02:50:33] <CheekDickSlap> exhorbitant costs and 4 hour waits.
[02:51:08] <SirFinkus> ha, some guy fell over the railing and tripped when he landed
[02:51:31] <CheekDickSlap> Fuck, a 60-dollar cab ride is like a 20 dollar lyft ride, $30 with a $10 tip
[02:51:31] <CheekDickSlap> fink, if those are actual suicides, post link
[02:51:32] <SirFinkus> there's like a service walkway just over the railing
[02:52:07] <SirFinkus> https://www.youtube.com
[02:52:08] <CountBotula> ^ 03The Bridge - Trailer - YouTube
[02:52:46] <SirFinkus> https://www.youtube.com might be better to show how the filmmakers fuck with you
[02:52:48] <CountBotula> ^ 03The Bridge opening sequence - YouTube
[02:55:19] <SirFinkus> but the "kerplunk" sound effect when they hit the water makes it funny eveyr time
[02:55:34] <SirFinkus> especially with the emotional leadup
[02:56:14] <CheekDickSlap> What are those metallic whiney noises when they want you to feel scared? Blowing on glasses?
[02:56:29] <CheekDickSlap> Sounds like something right out of MGS5
[02:56:37] <SirFinkus> music is cheesey too
[02:56:41] * CheekDickSlap knows where Kojima stole it from
[02:57:26] <CheekDickSlap> I like the music. What I don't like was that the cameraman missed that fucker hitting the water.
[02:57:37] <SirFinkus> oh, he gets several of them
[02:57:53] <SirFinkus> they set up a camera 24/7
[02:58:09] <SirFinkus> and use the same splash sound effect every time
[02:59:07] <CheekDickSlap> The splash sound is like jumping into a swimming pool
[02:59:19] <CheekDickSlap> it's not like the "pop" you hear hitting the water from high altitude.
[02:59:37] <SirFinkus> obviously it's an effect
[02:59:44] <SirFinkus> I'm waiting for a wilhelm scream
[03:00:06] <SirFinkus> that splash is in a sound effect library, I hear it all the time
[03:01:27] <CheekDickSlap> The most awesome sound effect is the monkey call in Ren and Stimpy.
[03:01:27] <takyon_> Uber drivers are destined to be fucked over anyway
[03:01:35] <takyon_> the company is investing in autonomous driving
[03:01:45] <takyon_> they aren't even waiting for others to do it
[03:01:45] <CheekDickSlap> OOO-oo-oo-oo-oo-AAH-AAH-AAH-AAH-AAH
[03:01:59] <CheekDickSlap> autonomous driving is horseshit.
[03:02:07] <CheekDickSlap> ask Michael Hastings.
[03:02:18] <takyon_> I can't
[03:02:19] <takyon_> he dead
[03:02:28] <takyon_> so it's gr8 then
[03:02:49] <CheekDickSlap> even non-autonomous cars are retardedly non-airgapped between life-critical systems and not.
[03:03:04] <takyon_> but we need Internet in the car
[03:03:18] <CheekDickSlap> MUH COST-CUTTING
[03:03:23] <CheekDickSlap> ERRYTHING ON ONE CHIP
[03:04:22] <CheekDickSlap> When you're a large buyer buying ASICS, FPGAS, and CPLD's almost at cost, is it really that expensive to add another?

[03:10:00] <LaDarius> The fucc you starin' at, White boy?
[03:10:36] <CheekDickSlap> nevermind LaDarius. He has, shall we say, an ill temperament.
[03:10:39] <CheekDickSlap> it's the most stupid bot you've ever mey, written in C#
[03:10:51] <CheekDickSlap> met^
[03:10:54] <Subsentient> CheekDickSlap: I doubt I can understand much, but I want the source.
[03:11:00] <LaDarius> Aw HEY-YELL NAW!
[03:11:27] <takyon_> it's 'prietary
[03:11:38] <SirFinkus> says the guy who won't give the source for his own shitty project
[03:11:38] <CheekDickSlap> I've posted it here like 5 times, but I'll post it again since i did it on pasta of code and it's probably died by now.
[03:11:54] * Subsentient believes even proprietary software is better off sharing its source code
[03:12:00] <LaDarius> Ey! Can a brotha getta light fo' 'dis blizzie?

[03:14:17] <CheekDickSlap> That is where it is located. but I ripped it off from somebody who did a skeleton bot and added my own shit innit.
[03:15:00] <LaDarius> Who don't like fried chicken? Errybody love fried chicken.
[03:15:06] <CheekDickSlap> > Subsentient pretending he can't read C#
[03:15:43] <CheekDickSlap> You could know nothing but Arduino...and still be able to understand C#
[03:16:01] <LaDarius> Ey! Can a brotha getta light fo' 'dis blizzie?
[03:16:02] <Subsentient> actually, that code is really pretty, and yeah, I understand all of it.
[03:16:07] <CheekDickSlap> except maybe delegates, but those are just basically syntactic sugar as function pointers.
[03:16:43] <CheekDickSlap> Subsentient, I subscribe to the adage, "if the code doesn't act pretty, it should at least look pretty"
[03:17:01] <LaDarius> The fucc you starin' at, White boy?
[03:17:03] <Subsentient> I tend to prefer function over form.
[03:17:35] * Subsentient is sad because C# looks really pretty
[03:17:57] <CheekDickSlap> C# is pretty. it even has "pointers"
[03:18:01] <LaDarius> That's a pretty nice purse you got there, missy --*CLICK*-- and iss mine now!

[03:18:27] <SirFinkus> the day he jumped
[03:18:40] <SirFinkus> the family acts like this is mpressive

[03:18:48] <takyon_> hahahahhahaa
[03:19:01] <LaDarius> Iss because I'm Black, aintit?
[03:19:17] <takyon_> yes!
[03:19:31] <CheekDickSlap> Now now, fink, don't talk shit about retail scum. I was there. And I was on the receiving end of assholes like you day after day. But I had your photos.
[03:19:52] <CheekDickSlap> And, rest assured, the whole store saw them.
[03:19:58] <SirFinkus> I've been there too, and worse
[03:20:01] <LaDarius> Yup yup, dass rite mane!
[03:20:31] <CheekDickSlap> Hey, at least I didn't leave come on your paper towels...though I know some folk who did.
[03:20:41] <SirFinkus> imagine that, and they're all methheads, and you need to go into their yards and shut their water off because they didn't pay their bills
[03:20:47] <SirFinkus> and then they call you all pissed off
[03:20:50] <Subsentient> CheekDickSlap: That bot of yours is the most hideously racist and deliberately offensive thing I've seen all week. I like it.
[03:21:01] <LaDarius> Sippin' onna forty, puffin onna BLUNT!
[03:21:10] <CheekDickSlap> Subsentient, it's only been here for like a year or more.

[18:25:10] <Gravis> SirFinkus: funny thing is that you could actually make a filter using either technology. :)
[18:26:05] <SirFinkus> I think the current 3d printers are kind of useless

[18:26:56] <Gravis> SirFinkus: they aren't completely useless but they have limited use cases
[18:27:06] <SirFinkus> and can work with multiple materials
[18:27:39] <Gravis> SirFinkus: laser cutters are nice but nowhere near as capable as DMLS machine
[18:27:41] <SirFinkus> there was a kickstarter type thing for a decent looking laser cutter, but they ruined it by putting everything in "the cloud"
[18:28:14] <SirFinkus> yes, I'd love to give a public interface to a machine that could possibly burn down my house if used incorrectly or maliciously!
[18:30:27] <Gravis> the only problem with DMLS is that you have chuck all the "unused" material after making something because it starts melding from the heated bed
[18:30:57] <Gravis> however, not a problem if you have a machine to create the material in the first place.

[18:40:59] <Gravis> i disagree with racism, sexism and ageism, so i am not ok with that

[18:41:56] <SirFinkus> I think the same thing

[18:44:00] <Gravis> that doesn't mean it will be a deathblow to the company.
[18:45:28] <SirFinkus> the deathblow will come when their cloud shit gets hacked and one of their printers starts a housefire

[18:47:16] <SirFinkus> walmart used to allow you to submit print jobs online and pick them up to the store and pay for them then, with predictable results
[18:48:26] <Gravis> SirFinkus: did they charge for the print online or when you picked it up?
[18:48:31] <SirFinkus> when you picked it up
[18:48:40] <Gravis> there's your problem
[18:48:51] <SirFinkus> not my problem lol
[18:48:58] <SirFinkus> it was walmart's problem
[18:49:46] <SirFinkus> weev just did the same thing with a bunch of publicly accessible college printers
[18:50:05] <SirFinkus> a bunch of white supremacist shit of course, because weev
[18:52:25] <SirFinkus> oh shit! I didn't even think about industrial espionage
[18:52:43] <SirFinkus> these motherfuckers are going to get a copy of every single print job that their printers print
[18:53:17] <SirFinkus> so if someone create a neat project or something, they can just straight up steal the design files from them and start selling them on their site
[18:56:46] <SirFinkus> the only possible justification I can think of for sending everything through the cloud (that's not malicious) is if they're trying to train some kind of material recognition machine learning shit
[18:57:51] <SirFinkus> seems a bit overkill, when a drop down menu would be more reliable
[19:14:18] <Gravis> SirFinkus: weev could be a comedian if he weren't fucktarded.
[19:15:38] <Gravis> unfortunately, comic acts + fucktardedness = fuckarded acts

[20:14:10] <Gravis> SirFinkus: i think you could make some pretty neat-o chainmail using DMLS and if you used titanium (dioxide) as your base, it would be biocompatible and thus you could put it _under_ your skin which would prevent a person from being hacked to death in a not so friendly country.
[20:14:36] <SirFinkus> that'd be badass, but I'd worry about pinching
[20:14:47] <SirFinkus> also, if you need to have surgery, you're fucked
[20:15:44] <SirFinkus> I wonder if any athletes have tried replacing their bones with artificial ones for enhanced performance
[20:15:48] <SirFinkus> wolverine style
[20:16:32] <Gravis> considering it would kill you... they may have /tried/
[20:17:40] <Gravis> however, with DMLS, i think you could actually manage it with titanium and stay alive
[20:18:48] <Gravis> one of the issues is your bones are actually pourous which isn't something easily replicated with other manufacturing methods
[20:20:06] <Gravis> SirFinkus: i think it's totally doable but your bones are only ~9 lbs.
[20:20:58] <Gravis> over the period of years you could replace your skeleton but it would take a lot of time for healing
[20:21:55] <SirFinkus> a hip replacement replaces quite a bit of bone with metal
[20:21:55] <Gravis> SirFinkus: but no doctor in their right mind would even try to replace your spine
[20:22:08] <SirFinkus> I was thinking more specific bones
[20:22:16] <SirFinkus> lighter tibia for runners
[20:22:23] <SirFinkus> stuff like that
[20:22:46] <SirFinkus> if they can do it well with no complications, it could give a big advantage
[20:23:06] <SirFinkus> or cyclists, who already fuss about grams on their bikes
[20:23:38] <SirFinkus> bikes have minimum weights, but I don't think there are any restrictions on the weight of the person riding the bike
[20:24:37] <Gravis> well it would be an extremely complex proceedure because you can't just outright replace the bone with a solid chunk of metal. you gotta move the bone marrow over.
[20:24:53] <SirFinkus> and cyclists are crazy enough to do it too, we're talking a group of people that drain their blood for training, and then put it back in on race day
[20:25:02] <Gravis> though only if you were going full skeleton
[20:25:23] <SirFinkus> full skeleton is unrelastic
[20:25:27] <Gravis> yeah... it could be done for specific bones
[20:25:31] <Gravis> SirFinkus: is not!
[20:25:49] <SirFinkus> yeah, but only because unrelastic isn't a word
[20:25:58] <SirFinkus> with current tech, can't do that shit
[20:26:17] <Gravis> SirFinkus: why not?
[20:26:35] <SirFinkus> something I forgot about
[20:26:45] <SirFinkus> bones make red and white blood cells
[20:27:05] <SirFinkus> you kind of need those
[20:27:16] <Gravis> yeah, i told you that you need the marrow
[20:27:37] <SirFinkus> must've missed it
[20:27:51] <Gravis> >> well it would be an extremely complex proceedure because you can't just outright replace the bone with a solid chunk of metal. you gotta move the bone marrow over. <<
[20:27:59] <SirFinkus> ahh
[20:28:57] <SirFinkus> but I wonder what affect it would have if you just replaced your tibia, would the other bones be able to pick up the slack?
[20:29:11] <Gravis> DMLS makes manufacturing the shapes required actually possible
[20:29:22] <Gravis> SirFinkus: of course they can
[20:29:41] <Gravis> SirFinkus: it's not like people don't get hip replacements
[20:30:28] <SirFinkus> without adverse effects on athletic performance I mean
[20:31:11] <Gravis> then no because it takes time to heal from surgery and they aren't perfect replacements
[20:31:46] <SirFinkus> but hip replacements are typically only performed on older people, or people who've been fucked up in car accidents and stuff
[20:31:47] <Gravis> but if you really put the money into a project to do it, you could minimize all of that
[20:31:58] <SirFinkus> so it's hard to tell really
[20:32:12] <SirFinkus> you'd need to try it on a healthy human
[20:32:47] <Gravis> well the first thing you need to do is actually mimic a bone properly!
[20:33:21] <Gravis> don't need humans for that
[20:33:43] <SirFinkus> that's why I was asking what the adverse effect of replacing you tibias with titanium "dumb" bones, with no marrow etc
[20:34:14] <Gravis> well that's just a retarded idea to start with! :P
[20:34:29] <SirFinkus> it's a min/maxing strategy
[20:35:01] <Gravis> getting the joints right is the key
[20:35:28] <Gravis> frankly, you would likely fuck them up in the process.
[20:36:31] <SirFinkus> we're going for the market that shoots themselves up with steroids and die of massive heart attacks at 45
[20:37:52] <Gravis> no doctor in the developed world would ever attempt such a thing
[20:38:09] <SirFinkus> I wouldn't be so sure
[20:38:36] <SirFinkus> who was the first guy to put in breast implants? I'm sure they thought he was a nut too
[20:39:04] <Gravis> ok... no doctor without a lot of per$ua$ion

[20:42:22] <SirFinkus> oh good, we're wolverining gorillas, what could possibly go wrong?
[20:42:34] <Gravis> ;)
[20:43:16] <SirFinkus> we'd probably start with pigs
[20:43:23] <Gravis> without that healing factor, they are less of woverines and more of sloths

[20:46:21] <SirFinkus> that's what's so insidious about sloths, the give you a false sense of security

[20:47:30] <Gravis> except they aren't

[23:12:06] <Gravis> SirFinkus: so i had a conversation about the bone replacement stuff with my mother, who is an actual doctor, and it would seem the limiting factor is a) rejection and b) getting other things like muscle to actually attach to the replacement
[23:12:19] <SirFinkus> fascinating
[23:12:27] <Gravis> i know, right. :)
[23:13:17] <SirFinkus> the thing I'd like to try is magnet implants, but I play guitar, so I don't think I could make that work
[23:13:31] <Gravis> titanium is biocompatible but can still be rejected but assuming that's not a real problem, you still have an issue with muscle attaching to the bone.
[23:14:34] <Gravis> i was told there is a cell matrix that runs through the bone, so you could have to grow that in the replacement before implantation
[23:15:17] <SirFinkus> it's probably part of the problem that it's biocompatible, the flesh can't "latch on" to it very well
[23:15:27] <Gravis> exactly
[23:15:32] <SirFinkus> maybe some kind of porous internal structure in the metal could help
[23:15:42] <SirFinkus> which is where the sintering comes in
[23:15:46] <Gravis> that's what i suggested. :D
[23:16:18] <SirFinkus> I've also seen something for creating capillaries in artificial organs that might work
[23:16:39] <SirFinkus> inspired by cotton candy
[23:17:13] <SirFinkus> they grow the organ around it, and dissolve the "cotton candy" and you've got an intricate system of capillaries
[23:17:35] <SirFinkus> kind of like investment metal casting
[23:17:43] <Gravis> anyway, i think it can be done but we need to grow some stuff before implanting it and probably create some sort of molecule that the cells can latch onto
[23:18:51] <Gravis> this does remind me of the potential bone replacement that was made of wood
[23:18:58] <SirFinkus> if we can grow bone in the shape we want, we could design the metal bone to interlock with the biobone and attach it that way
[23:19:06] <SirFinkus> mechanically interlock I mean
[23:19:08] <Gravis> i'm guessing it has the properties needed for cells to attach
[23:19:51] <SirFinkus> bone does have mechanisms for changing shape, we just need to learn to manipulate them
[23:20:04] <Gravis> meh
[23:20:38] <Gravis> anyway, that's what i learned from someone who actually knows this shit
[23:21:52] <Gravis> i would say, it's not impossible but just that we haven't figured out the cellular mechanism needed to make it succeed
[23:21:54] <SirFinkus> maybe strategic breaking of the bones
[23:22:11] <Gravis> SirFinkus: dude, that's like nightmare fuel.
[23:22:36] <SirFinkus> ehh, I've broken a bone before, it's not that bad
[23:22:58] <Gravis> SirFinkus: you're moving from the 6 million dollar man realm to human centipede realm
[23:23:27] <SirFinkus> replacing the bones is major surgery anyway
[23:23:35] <Gravis> indeed
[23:23:36] <SirFinkus> it's going to kinda suck no matter what
[23:24:07] <SirFinkus> if you break the bones, recovery would probably be faster
[23:24:31] <SirFinkus> because if you have to wait for the muscles and tendons and shit to attach, it's going to take even longer
[23:24:45] <Gravis> SirFinkus: here's the thing, the cell matrix is going through the entire bone, so implanting metal where bone already exists would mean you lose part of that matrix
[23:25:52] <Gravis> you would need to replicate the structure of the bone so that the cell matrix can regrow
[23:26:43] <Gravis> SirFinkus: like i said, i think it's doable once we figure out how to make cells attach to things
[23:27:08] <Gravis> SirFinkus: right now, it would be the single worst idea for an athelete
[23:27:50] <SirFinkus> no, removing limbs to save weight is probably a worse one
[23:28:38] <Gravis> SirFinkus: no because if you remove your arms, you can still run. removing a bone in your leg and you can't run.
[23:28:52] <SirFinkus> it depends on the sport
[23:28:57] <Gravis> you can cycle with one arm but not one leg
[23:29:11] <SirFinkus> removing an arm saves you a lot of weight cyling
[23:29:15] <Gravis> SirFinkus: soccer! :D
[23:29:24] <SirFinkus> now you're talking
[23:29:31] <Gravis> not the best for a goalie. :(
[23:29:39] <Gravis> :P
[23:31:42] <Gravis> SirFinkus: anyway, there you go. nobody is going to perform this surgery on a healthy person because it's currently the worst idea of all time.
[23:32:12] <SirFinkus> that's what why perfect the technology on the elderly and disabled
[23:32:17] <SirFinkus> *we
[23:32:20] <Gravis> SirFinkus: but i'm sure athletes have thought about it. :)
[23:32:28] <SirFinkus> that's what they're for isn't it?
[23:32:38] <Gravis> SirFinkus: we don't do full replacements, just partial
[23:33:08] <SirFinkus> *we should
[23:33:09] <Gravis> SirFinkus: it's mostly rods and shit
[23:33:13] <SirFinkus> yeah
[23:34:14] <Gravis> this was a good conversation. ;)
[23:34:30] <SirFinkus> if I ever lost my hands, I'd sharpen the stumps and use them to fight crime

[23:36:30] <SirFinkus> with inspector gadget extendo bits
[23:36:45] <SirFinkus> you can have both though
[23:36:47] <Gravis> nah, too paranoid about hacking
[23:37:00] <SirFinkus> bionic hand that you can crush rock to intimidate your henchmen
[23:37:06] <SirFinkus> and a chainsaw on the other arm

[23:40:56] <SirFinkus> no, 2 chainsaws
[23:41:14] <SirFinkus> although realistically, some kind of mounting thing so I can swap attachments
[23:41:48] <Gravis> SirFinkus: two chainsaws per hand?
