ascii_field wanted to suggest it originally but mircea_popescu was on
a long 'this is your motherfucking grandfather's pistol and hands off' kick
ascii_field: and, as mircea_popescu mentioned earlier, there is also the problem of fragging, which none of this even begins to deal with, nor is anything like
a clean/simple solution to it known to me
ascii_field: well there are
a few gotchas, think about it - potentially
a tx that is in the receive queue could turn bastard when pool is flushed
mircea_popescu: "That contrary to planted disinformation of which the Guardian article is
a fine example, the NSA has complete and unlimited, instantaneous access to any and all information passed through the TOR network in its entirety, as
a matter of course and by design."
mircea_popescu: funny how "everyone" pretends tor is actually somehow
a thing.
trinque: seems like
a dying/dead business
benkay naive to downside implications of leaving freenode
a smoking crater
mircea_popescu: but anyway, the intercepts were from "
a dangerous ring of underage prostitute traffickers". who turned out to be indescribably dude-next-door sorta warm, cozy, familiar situation.
mircea_popescu: heh, two things about sorana, the comedy :
a) i think i wrote about
a dozen words. the rest is simply taken from "leaked" romanian-nsa phone intercepts (strictly illegal to have those, and even illegal-er to leak them seeing how the trial was ongoing. but...)
assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 3 for jurov with note: everything went smooth on CoinBr.com
BingoBoingo prolly going to write
a still more explicit qntra style guide this weekend
BingoBoingo: Well, most american food is laced with the sugahs. Even the meats and breads.
A lot of it is the sugahs that don't respond to insulin (fructose). Add vidya games. Add monsanto.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, commenters bring
a good fucking point. when i was in my teens i went through about 25-30k calories
a week, each week.
BingoBoingo: Brodinism just got
a lot less appealing >> "Brothers I've been triggered! My lat has become so large with Brodin's blessings I find it difficult to reach around it and clean up after I've given yesterday's sustenance to the porcelain god. I fear if this continues I may have to use
a rag on
a stick!"
mircea_popescu: seems
a rehash of the entire "it's okay for fat woman to drown you in her lard in the subway. it's not ok for male to sit comfortably."
mircea_popescu: "TLDR: Fat with knee problems. Fat mother. Fat people are
a cancer. " << i wonder how come people will throw an absolute hissy fit should mother dare smoke, yet nobody seems to get too worried should mother be obese. yet smoking is not nearly as damaging as obesity.
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 00:10:35; mircea_popescu: anyway, point remains, if someone [such as jurov] decides to spend
a day on this he should have to use as little as possible hunting the history as that leaves as much as possible to actually doing work.
mircea_popescu: if i designed this, the -
a flag would yield
a "1024 most common english words" encoding.
BingoBoingo: <felipelalli> I wrote it on Emacs, I just re-sent. << I am at
a loss now for how to extract this text
mircea_popescu: there's no reason for it to be "good" when kuhn describes it as
a way for scientists to keep from being too stupid and also "bad" when ayers describes it as
a way for red necks to still manage to fit in with their neighbours without shooting each other too much.
mircea_popescu: love or hate it, propaganda has
a role in helping undifferentiated cells digest phenomena. pure, nude phenomena are indigestible by the human cell.
phf: that seems to tie with
a broader point that once something is named, it's already over. propaganda storm is kind of like grabbing onto something stationary while in
a current, and realizing that there's
a current to beging with, and that it's possibly strong.
phf: hehe that's
a catchy song
trinque: to which I've been giving
a great deal of thought since.
mircea_popescu: i happen to think the same is true of propaganda, even though it's an ideal object. by the time it's ubiquitous, the thing's going to shit. propaganda storm is
a reflection of developing propaganda resistance.
trinque: watched Forrest Gump again last night with
a similar morbid curiousity. in it, he's the "hero" for no other reason than he is maximally obedient. he's the perfect american.
mircea_popescu: the flesh in the west was starting to build
a new socialism, and the flesh in the east wanted what flesh always wants.
phf: parents were telling me how saturday night was like the coolest movie in soviet uniont. nobody have seen it, but everyone talked about it. having
a leisure suite from checkoslovakia was the pinnacle, etc. mom finally watched it in early 2000s, reaction was "wtf is this shit"
felipelalli: BingoBoingo, I did not understand the item 4, how can I create
a link?
phf: in this case "broken because of boost" is more like
a description of an OSI layer, i.e. uknowable things are happening somewhere in the datastructures level of things
phf: one thing that i see happening here is
a subtrate problem, i.e. oh boost is crap gotta use std c++, oh c++ is crap gotta use lisp, oh lisp is hosted on unix, gotta host on bare metal, oh bare metal is crap gotta vhdl our own cpu, oh can't do our own cpu because 3 factories. i'm not sure where that leaves us exactly
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's
a valid and an invalid thing that i can readily see going under the same mantle. the valid side is an outgrowth of "no, we're not putting up with any shit, because shit reproduces itself, if you're going to make
a sterile environment it gotta be sterile". the invalid part is well, paranoia, basically. "world is out to get itself!!!"
ascii_field: (and it HAS to be cured before pogo can be
a thing)
ascii_field: phf: in this particular case, there is also another thing - whether the problem is solvable without committing 'power rangerism' and mutilating the patient beyond recognition into
a monstrous chimera
phf: what i meant to say is that sometimes ascii talks precise, but sometimes with
a certain amount of flair, which roughly translates into "the problem is nasty, with many unknowns, and requires excessive amount of investigation and work, if it's even solvable at all." this was the second case, i.e. not literally clear(), not necessarily boost, needs further independent investigation
mod6: anyway, i need to give the IgProf hooks another try in
a different, nongentoo env and see.
mircea_popescu: !rate CheckDavid -1 Too young yet. May reconsider this in
a year.
mircea_popescu: ;;rate CheckDavid -1 Too young yet. May reconsider this in
a year.
mod6: <+jurov> igprof won't work with stator, i guess? << i'm trying to recall the details... but i think it compiled ok iirc, but when I ran it (on
a gentoo amd64 env) I couldn't get any thing to dump out for some reason.
ascii_field: and
a sign, telling strong men 'pull with all your might'
ascii_field: where there is
a little iron ring in the earth
ascii_field: there is
a dismal ru version of the 'sword in the stone' sorta legend
CheckDavid: So Gyft has
a 25% discount on giftcards? How can one take good advantage of the offer?
ascii_field: because there is actually not
a good record of the last thing i did
mircea_popescu: anyway, point remains, if someone [such as jurov] decides to spend
a day on this he should have to use as little as possible hunting the history as that leaves as much as possible to actually doing work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-11-2015#1332526 << for the record/future and as best practice : mod6's style of doing these, with pastes etc is much better, because it allows later effort to build upon previous effort. deedbot- is also not
a bad venue to store this sort of thing, seeing how it's just code atm. "when i do so and so this is the bt resultant".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: yeah, one of these days we'll make
a sore point list of things, as
a necessary [early] step towards printable btc.
mircea_popescu: the usage of statics in that pile is still not understood [in its implications]. stands as
a major sore point to this very day, six years later.
punkman: freenet design makes
a lot more sense than tor
ascii_field: not so i could sit in
a manhole while
a cement mixer pours liquid shit in
ascii_field: incidentally it isn't
a locking bug either
phf: there's this CTransaction::RemoveFromMemoryPool, anybody tried calling that in
a loop?
ascii_field: phf: the goal of 'zapmempool' was to prove that mempool accounts for all of the bloat other than what is accounted for by the 300bytes/block eternal index (another idiocy which will prevent pogoization unless
a massive mechanism is rewritten beyond recognition)
ascii_field: and yes, jurov was right re: it being
a std:: crapolade, rather than boost
ascii_field: every tx received eats
a measurable qty of ram which is NEVER reclaimed
phf: jurov: the goal is to get bitcoind working with pogo's limited memory. the problem is that
a running bitcoind grows in memory use as
a result of normal operations. we know that some processes claim
a lot of memory by design, like mempool, so first step is to get
a reliable way of cleaning out mempool. ascii wrote that patch, but discovered that in practice zapmempool doesn't reduce memory use.
phf: but for all i know there's all kinds of other sources of leak. the general idea is that btcd without mempool memory use should stay constant when the blockchain is not growing. any kind of memory growth is from mempool adding more transactions. so it stands to reason that
a fully working zapmempool should always bring btcd back to some baseline number, but that's not happening.
phf: jurov: the overal goal though is to flush the mempool, but simply measuring the memory between zapmempool shows that the patch specifically doesn't do it. there's either additional source of leak, or there's
a leak in mempool, or, and that's the most likely case, the patch in question doesn't touch al lthe places where mempool has data
mircea_popescu: this is teh republic, if you don't do it it ain't getting done. we've neither
a legion of mindless drones to "do" stuff badly nor
a printing press to devalue everyone's ownership to "pay" for that "work".
jurov: seems my bouncer was hanging on holmes.freenode.net alone for half
a day
BingoBoingo: Just like 2012, china was
a thing beyond Asicminer derping about shares
adlai: volume has gone negative in china; vwap ceases to be
a thing
mircea_popescu: the "commenting community" is basically
a fabrication. he'll "engage" it when it's the usg's own indians doing it and then only.
mircea_popescu: in other news, "files included in
a list of known child porn file hashes from the police database", seriously ?
pete_dushenski: my delving into french literature thus far has been pretty limited,
a bit of verne and exupery mostly.
pete_dushenski: and now, as i speak it out loud to mein heir on
a daily basis, i'm practicing more than i have since i was 10 years old !
pete_dushenski: i also have
a couple friends who also attended french immersion, but through to grade 12, and we occasionally exchange
a few sentences, which is better than nothing :)
pete_dushenski: aha. i attended french immersion through to grade 5, which really isn't much, but my mother also grew up on montreal and we spoke
a bit of french at home. i've also visited montreal at least once
a year since i was born, so i've always had
a bit of
a refresher when out in public. lastly, i joined
a french-catholic choir last year and they speak and write in french exclusively.
brg444: btw pete_dushenski was reading your last article on contravex. great stuff as usual but noticed
a typo, if you care: 2nd "exclusivity" should be "exclusive"?
BingoBoingo a fan of using all the temperature scales without specifying the scale, kelvin exempt.
BingoBoingo: I don't really know many sites outside of #b-
a who do. Even most wp installs have shit comment boxes nao
mircea_popescu: and also that some idiot site on the net doesn't have
a functional comment box
