kanzurefenn, i'm not sure anyone has actually looked over all of the patents from the soviet union, or even all of the "inventor's certificates"03:30
kanzureplus there's supposedly pre-soviet-union patent material that was abandoned03:31
@fennall 80k of them03:31
@fennabandoned?03:31
kanzureabolished?03:31
@fenngoogle does a decent job translating the OCR'd patentdb.su03:32
@fennthe original motivation for the patent system was so people would contribute to a library of technical knowledge03:32
@fennin the US at least, or so i have been led to believe03:32
kanzuregoogle stops translating after 20 pages03:33
@fennyeah i saw03:33
@fenncan you like, pay for their translation service? or is it another piece of google magic abandonware?03:34
kanzurewell as it happens russian labor is extremely cheap03:34
@fennwell the automated solution already mostly works03:35
@fenni noticed it does weird things to numbers tho03:35
kanzureexcept that you can't replicate their results on your own yet03:35
kanzureso it's automated, but only in the sense that it works for slightly longer than whipping a human would03:35
@fennlike your "2.8 microns" above, actually said 2-8 microns (and rendered as 8.2 for me)03:35
-!- EnLilaSko [EnLilaSko@unaffiliated/enlilasko] has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]03:36
@fennis it reasonable to assume that the soviet patents contain acutal inventions instead of the crank commercial bullshit that makes up most of the uspto in the past 50 years?03:36

@fennalso, off topic, is there a page i can point people to that explains concisely why php is awful and you should never use it?03:37
kanzurei am sure they have glorious technology propaganda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U0-O8r6RlM&t=3003:38
kanzurehttp://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/03:38
@fennalready "fractal" is too complicated for the target audience03:38
@fennin brlcad just now, "Being a novice, right now I wish to save as much time as I can rather than straying around learning new tools/frameworks." from the guy building a web interface to a materials database (sound familiar?)03:40
@fenngsoc student03:40
kanzurei chewed out the last guy working on a thing similar to that in #brlcad, and instead the military pros shitcanned me03:40
kanzureit's not worth it03:40
kanzurethese people are at different places in their lives where thoughtful irc words are seen as harmful03:41

kanzurepft i don't remember03:42
@fennsean (brlcad) seemed quite patient and forgiving when dealing with a particularly overly-sensitive/defensive gsoc student03:42
kanzureit's probably in his job description03:43
kanzurei wouldn't read much into it03:43
@fennomg is wikipedia actually PHP03:45
kanzuremediawiki is entirely php, duh03:45
kanzurewhat do you think all the ".php" shit is in all the wikipedia urls?03:46

@fenni'm just sort of amazed, that's all03:47
kanzureor the amazing music genre03:47
@fennyou mean terrible, not amazing03:47
kanzurei just got out of the vietnam dream war, don't mess with me03:47
@fennunless you meant "amazingly terrible, i can't believe how terrible it is"03:47
kanzure"Mr Jan Kees de Jager was there. He is the previous Secretary of the Treasury of the Netherlands. He was not negative about Bitcoin (but warned about its use due to volatility) and even admitted he owned bitcoins."03:49
@fennso what03:50
kanzureit's funny, that's what03:50
kanzurelet me write a terrible pile of C++, and oh yeah this treasury dude is going to buy something about this in 5 years because uh, well because he doesn't have any better ideas03:50

kanzure"Innovations by firms producing production equipment have sparked many of the critical technological advances of the past two centuries.[6] With the growing specialization of industrial activity, technological progress in manufacturing sectors has become increasingly yoked to technological developments in the sectors from which manufacturers buy their capital goods. Put another way, productivity increases by firms in the manufacturing ...14:45
kanzure... industries have come to depend increasingly upon skills and resources located in their supplier firms. For example, textile firms that once produced their own machines turned to an increasingly independent set of specialized machinery producers as the market for such machinery grew and the mcahines themselves became increasingly complex.[7] Chemical firms that used to design their own production facilities came to rely increasingly on ...14:46

Four resistors were represented by silicon bridges, and other resistors and capacitors were deposited in film form directly onto the silicon block with intervening insulating films. Dummer's ideas however remained ...15:04
kanzure... unrealized and relatively unknown, because the UK military failed to perceive any operational requirements for ICs, and UK companies were unwilling to invest their own money. Dummer later said: “I have attributed it to war-weariness in one of my books, but that is perhaps an excuse. The plain fact is that nobody would take the risk.

The necessary vacuum tubes could then be attached with sockets or soldered directly to the substrate[4].

kanzure"Semiconductor miniaturization was contrary to most other major efforts at the time, which fell into three basic categories. One group felt the main problem was the assembly of individual parts, and that by making all parts the same size and shape, they could automate the assembly process. A second group thought that thin-films were the way to go - a more modern form of the thick-film technology used at Centralab. Both of these approaches ...15:23
kanzure... would have used conventional transistors and assembled them to other components. A third group felt a more radical approach must be taken. They felt that our knowledge of material was now complete enough so that entirely new structures could be invented to perform circuit functions. A quartz crystal, which performed the functions of an inductor and capacitor, was the favorite example [7]. It was clear to me that one of the major problems ...15:23
kanzure... with all of the existing approaches to microminiaturization was that they involved different materials and fabrication processes. I began to consider an approach that would reduce the number of both. Therefore, I built up a circuit using discrete - or separate - silicon elements, starting with packaged grown-junction transistors. I formed resistors by cutting small bars of silicon and etchin them to the required values. Meanwhile, ...15:23
kanzure... capacitors were cut from diffused silicon power transistor wafers, which had been metallized on both sides. But since I had used discrete components, it was not, of course, an integrated circuit. At the time, TI was very strong in grown-junction devices and had just begun to work seriously on diffused structures. Several small-signal germanium devices also were in production. The emitter and base contacts were evaporated through metal ...15:23
