mircea_popescu: "My presentation was ok. The mandatory Q&A afterwards was horrible. The only two people in the room that we hadn’t gotten prior support from were skeptical to say the least. As I left the room I was shattered. And as my contact at Accelerace didn’t call me later on that day I knew where it was going. My chairman didn’t either. Not a good sign. I left messages and they didn’t return my calls. In the afternoon I
asciilifeform: whether you and i can demonstrate how, or not.
asciilifeform: punkman: precisely what i was speaking of, except that i conjecture that ANY deterministic signing process is kleptographic
punkman: "I actually have two implementations of example malicious signers:  One produces non-deterministic signatures and leaks a 256 bit private key, to the holder of a specific public key and no one else, in ~33 signatures with very high probability (failure rate of 1 in 1000 for 33 signatures, around 1 in a million for 34). The other produces a seemingly RFC 6979 like deterministic signatures and ☟︎
asciilifeform: i had this reason ~2y ago l0l
mircea_popescu: i wish to pick which pissing app to use by how many times the alternatives call std::anything.
asciilifeform: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/36142 << i am unable to grasp how the claims could possibly be true
mircea_popescu: maybe i want to sort this list of packages by TOTAL COUNT OF REFERENCES. how about that!
asciilifeform: punkman: i am still hard pressed to see how it is anything other than a disastrously bad idea
asciilifeform: i'll wait.
PeterL: I thought c was supposed to be portable, why would you have to bloat code to make it go on different systems?
asciilifeform: i must disagree
asciilifeform: but if we're gonna terraform existing item, i'd much prefer the nano ecc thing.
asciilifeform: i'd like to know how the rangerz achieved the mandatory goal of making it an unreadable megalith
asciilifeform: which is all i can say for it.
asciilifeform: punkman: there was one, at one point i even cleaned it up a bit and posted to trb ml. BUT i was never actually able to get it to work
asciilifeform: IF I CAN'T READ IT IN AN EVENING it is a turd ☟︎
asciilifeform: its whole purpose, as far as i can tell, is to take up mental space.
mircea_popescu: ah here we go i think http://osxr.org/openssl/source/crypto/crypto.h#0368
jurov: http://osxr.org/openssl/ident?_i=CRYPTO_malloc&_remember=1 i found this
mircea_popescu: i meant the openssl thing
mircea_popescu: jurov honestly i think the original design intent was that.
jurov: i'm completely fine with 70% - filled hashtable
asciilifeform: i was about to describe the only possible way to make it work.
asciilifeform: i though the whole thing was about how jurov found a way to actually deallocate tx
asciilifeform: 'The noise at 42 hour mark is zapmempool call, which shows it's still not really working.' << waitasec am i missing something ?
jurov: well. the nastiest smell i felt was from std::map, so i suggest to approach that one next.
mircea_popescu: this is not a sprint. it's not even a marathon. the most important thing, by a large margin, is plox don't kill yourselves fighting with it. if anyone goes "i'll tend to my ulcer once i sorted out THIS thing", that someone's going to be remembered as naggum 2.
mircea_popescu: i am firmly convinced that you can lose an entire team of engineers in there, permanently.
asciilifeform: 'The next idea was,that heap is sprinkled with permanently allocated blocks data causing inability for malloc to release the memory back to the OS. I went to try and allocate these separately... and boy does that rabbit hole go deep...' << ty jurov, i was actually in the middle of doing this, and now i don't have to, l0l !!
ben_vulpes: i've almost forgotten how painful it is. i can tell because i'm itching to muntz further.
asciilifeform: jurov: i've been bashing my head against the thing pretty actively, on and off, for >1yr now. so you're doing pretty well.
ben_vulpes: i've been there too, jurov
jurov: (note i'm not employed. these were full days. and still far from result)
jurov: while i was on it, 3 days vanished in blur
mircea_popescu: of advice. Met people with amazing experience. We felt we were in the nexus of entrepreneurship and innovation. And we probably were. [...] It was like our feet never touched the ground." and no, i don't think it would be http://38.media.tumblr.com/74c80afbbf82765c41d7beec32221d2f/tumblr_inline_n60qz3Ti3Q1r0ojkh.jpg as everyone in that pic is distinctly uncomfortable with the bunny suit they gotta wear to cater to my
asciilifeform: jurov: pretty interesting, i'll say more after i actually read the thing
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-12-2015#1347672 <<< will try when I arrive home. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I'm surprised no one on the Luke-Jr derpity herp herp reddit thread pointed out you are supposed to wait for 6 confirmations
TomServo: I do get a match on 0.5.3 and 0.5.3.1, perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
TomServo: I'm unable to get a matching sha256sum on 0.5.4-TEST2 [x86-64] [Latest] at thebitcoin.foundation - could anyone confirm?
ben_vulpes: just to be sure i'm on the same page, this 'hang' eventually ends when the node completely processes the block?
ben_vulpes: well i'm yes? ing about the black hole.
asciilifeform: so at this point i'm pretty certain where 'black hole' comes from. ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: but in all seriousness, i've seen ads for rentals-cum-furniture
mircea_popescu: maybe i should dig out / give you comp details or something ?!
asciilifeform: that is called a hotel where i live
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude, seriously, the only time i rented in that part of the world, place came with complete everything. boxsprings.
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 23:34:54; mircea_popescu: and if you want actual numbers, i just got a coupla girlies an apt. the sale value would have been i guess 160-170k or so. the monthly rent is 750. the first month, the washing machine went, and the owner replaced it. the next month, ac went (brother was that an incredible pos job wow), owner replaced it. so far owner's been making 0 from his property.
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 17:35:45; asciilifeform: and can anybody recall where i got the notion that ottomans had headless races? (two prisoners run past swordsmen, heads chopped, hot iron 'thumb tacks' inserted in stumps, bodies keep running)
mircea_popescu: i was under the impression something else's discussed there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: complicated. i have a human (non-gmail) mailbox that can't use mircea_popescu's algorithm (has to be able to receive from strangers) and it costs me perhaps 20min/day of manual spam filtration
mircea_popescu: "I can even get it up to 2 or 3 block confirmation before the real network overtakes it with a longer chain. This is a risk accepted as a tradeoff by SPV clients, but not acceptable for full node clients which are expected to be secure on their own."
mircea_popescu: anyway, lulzy read for me. "what do you mean coming up with this complex theoretico-fantastico-nonsensical echaufadage did EXACTLY NOTHING ?!?!?!?!? but i thought thoughts alter reality! we rose the awareness to lilac levels!"
mircea_popescu: My feelings, and the feelings of many people I know, are more hurt by the prolonged waiting for a concrete answer while we sit quietly with our feigned Chill. It is as if I’ve broken some unwritten law when I ask what they are looking for and am dissatisfied with the answer “I don’t really like to put labels on things.” But putting labels on things are how people find the exit during a fire and make sure they
mircea_popescu: "here's where we stand : until and unless you burn down the entire politico-juridistical establishment of the entire faux-free world, i ain't signing any paper with you."
mircea_popescu: "I routinely happen upon men who are perplexed when I eventually declare that I want to know where we stand. Indecision is not a noble virtue."
mircea_popescu: " I don’t think that it is so much to ask that I be considered a thing — at least some kind of thing — if I am engaging in emotional or sexual intimacy with someone."
mircea_popescu: that's where she's got the idea for accountability. obama's doin' aite, i guess. it's the schmuck sort-of dating her that needs more of the gel.
mircea_popescu: i tell ye.... comfort is the enemy of competence.
mircea_popescu: god damned it. /me says to woman, "just set the soup on a low fire, i'll serve myself", promptly forgets about the entire thing. soup boils patiently for 40 minutes.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla et al: bucephalus is down and will be until i can get to the cabinet and see wtf
asciilifeform: how would i know, l0l
mircea_popescu: i suppose THAT is what the occasional derp means by sociopath.
asciilifeform: if my pad had come with any, i'd have to find a place to safely stow it, or swallow the cost of dumping it
asciilifeform: i can only speak for self, but i don't WANT to use some landlord's cheapo pressboard standard soviet furniture
mircea_popescu: why am i taking possession of industrial machinery by the month.
asciilifeform: (i suppose i oughta include a '3' - being cattle - but i was describing thinking people, which is who i associate with)
asciilifeform: other thing re: 'buy vs rent' - i learned that u.s. folk typically 'buy' for two reasons - 1) massive tax subsidy for mortgageism; 2) - interestingly - the extreme scarcity of rental ~house~ as a thing
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 16:19:23; PeterL: would have worked if housing prices hadn't dropped 75% where I lived
mircea_popescu: to teach them how to steal and how to pick bitchez, i guess.
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 17:49:00; mircea_popescu: if i was going to raise a litter i'd definitely buy. now it's true that if i did i'd buy in kandahar, and i would never even consider it with a single woman, but i guess these'd be details. fact remains if you're going to kids you're much better off with ownership.
mircea_popescu: "i got this here aileron, just like the f1 ferrarris use. on my ford truck. because sometimes five ton ford trucks take off the road under their own speed."
mircea_popescu: if i was going to raise a litter i'd definitely buy. now it's true that if i did i'd buy in kandahar, and i would never even consider it with a single woman, but i guess these'd be details. fact remains if you're going to kids you're much better off with ownership. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: then i tell them about how if i wanted to buy real estate i'd buy a ranch in montana for the same money, they go all incredulous. because yeah they do nothing but watch us exports on the tube all day, but they don't have either the unlazy intensity to try and get complete data or the mental acuity to understand how that's done.
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 16:02:21; PeterL: liquidassets: I owed about 110k on the mortgage, house sold for about 35k. So I guess it was more like 75k "income" that was "forgiven" by USG for taxes.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea he was working. seemd just gabbing away to me.
renart: so i say that he's working towards purposes and not from causes...
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 16:17:15; PeterL: Now I would want to get a house with a large down-payment, pay it off quickly, then not have to worry about a monthly rent payment
mircea_popescu: uh... k. i have no idea.
mircea_popescu: ", I had no idea that I’d end the day going from casually dating six men to formally and intentionally dating zero."
asciilifeform: and can anybody recall where i got the notion that ottomans had headless races? (two prisoners run past swordsmen, heads chopped, hot iron 'thumb tacks' inserted in stumps, bodies keep running) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: renart trinque translate the joke to an old man ? i'm like... not following.
renart: yes, liquidassets, that *is* the reference i'm making!
asciilifeform: hey i only looked at the map
liquidassets: I think their 'friendship' is tenuous but whatevs
mircea_popescu: i am lost without assbot!
assbot: Logged on 18-12-2015 22:13:12; pete_dushenski: i thought ben_vulpes was all 'auto-auto-mobiles are the footoor because bayes'
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 13:42:01; pete_dushenski: "The government in the Netherlands has clarified that it is legal for driving instructors to offer lessons in return for sex, as long as the students are over the age of 18. However, it is illegal to offer sex in return for lessons." << hahaha so man may proposition fillie but not vice versa eh. man i like those dutch.
asciilifeform: because as far as i can see from my periscope, the towelheads are as necessary for usg as air ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno why you keep repeating this fantasy lol. not like it's going to get rejected 500 times and then accepted on the 501st pass ?
asciilifeform: i.e. quite like a gossipd designed at ft meade for chumpatronic purposes
mircea_popescu: peterl yeah i did.
pete_dushenski: so i guess you're spinning something out of it
liquidassets: It's called discernment punk I"m not selling anything
liquidassets: yes I am qualified to opine, quite qualified
liquidassets: I"m Not giving investment advice TM
liquidassets: I'm just telling you my loss stories
liquidassets: I do pretty good
liquidassets: Dude I was 13 I think
