[00:02:28] <nedko> IIRC secure-digital/mmc is closed standard
[00:02:33] <adj__> anyway, nedko, I like your psu, and I have have wanted a lime2 cluster for a while, just didn't had much to do with it

[00:02:58] <diego71> nedko: it was true many years ago
[00:03:19] <adj__> internal controller code on sd cards are just as closed as ssd's
[00:03:29] <nedko> adj__: so we have a shared dream :)
[00:03:48] <nedko> diego71: do you have a pdf (or something) for the standard?
[00:04:30] <nedko> last time i tried, it was not public
[00:04:44] <nedko> internal controller code in your keyboard is as closed as on your BMC :)

[00:09:27] <adj__> I also didn't do anything to useful with them, but anyway
[00:09:32] <adj__> :)
[00:09:53] <nedko> you learned how to assemble such clusters
[00:10:37] <nedko> isnt that useful? :)
[00:10:37] <nedko> diego71: i read that url. still don't want to use sd when possible :)
[00:11:55] <adj__> wanted to convert my chess engine in a distributed one
[00:12:09] <adj__> and run it in a cluster
[00:12:40] <nedko> what language the engine was written in?

[00:17:04] <adj__> I lost interest in computer chess and I made a Go engine
[00:18:44] <nedko> go is a faster start for distributed computing for sure
[00:20:26] <adj__> my engine didn't, it was in the pre-montecarlo days
[00:21:47] <nedko> i guess montecarlo is somehow important to chess but thats my only clue
[00:22:50] <adj__> montecarlo is the technique that made computer Go programs get professional level
