asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: plox to elaborate re 'as large as will be'
mircea_popescu: allocate it all now ; if you can't afford to make smaller coinbase.
mircea_popescu: and no more of this "monotonously growing" nonsense. whole item as large as will ever be is given at onset.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, the replacement-pistols will simply be a patch set.
mircea_popescu: because it will cost someone's time to reconcile. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and you don't want to end up with a split code branch
asciilifeform: it ain't a substitute for the cut-up, no.
mircea_popescu: yes yes. but on the proper basis
asciilifeform: not quite cosmetic, this. potentially massive speedup .
mircea_popescu: something small and desperately needed like better logs i can see ; but by now you're talking painting walls and such
asciilifeform: because there's a possibility of speeding sync 100-200x... ( the obvious way. if block sha512's, or keccak's, etc. to a checksum-cum-heighposition that is signed by node owner's l1 -- then ACCEPT )
mircea_popescu: but honestly i'd prioritize db-fix-and-trb-split discussed over these rather cosmetic by comparison improvements.
a111: Logged on 2016-03-16 11:07 mircea_popescu: which, ungenerously enough, seems just a step away from the breakdown specific to shitholes like argentina, where people altogether don't even comprehend words are in any sense meaningful, above and beyond the chirping captive populations of chickens do to reassure each other.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 04:03 trinque: same idiots that all type "h" to each other, line noise for brain.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-07 23:12 asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu at the time said that the thing really oughta eat a programmable set of checkpoint
asciilifeform: ( i recommend bolting the width in place to 256 , to keep lines short )
asciilifeform: and i'll add that if somebody other than asciilifeform feels like doing this operation, i will take off my hat
asciilifeform: now only remains to plug it in
asciilifeform: nothing, took me a minute or so to recall that indeed it is posted
mircea_popescu: iirc hanbot was using it to do something trilema-related, sounded happy with it.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with the bot he published
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque what do you recommend for a talking-in-chan bot-tron ? i'd like to hook up 'ffacalc'... ☟︎
asciilifeform: ... it is equally conceivable that the thing is a pure win, and dun need to become a knob. we'll see.
mircea_popescu: "early boost" sorta thing
asciilifeform: ( and may have to be turned into a toggle knob )
asciilifeform: it is possible that it will improve block reception at the expense of outgoing tx propagation.
mircea_popescu: and evidently an improvement whose time had come.
asciilifeform: exactly like what an unpatched trb does for first hour or three of boot
asciilifeform: well right nao it's pulling blox from other trb's, at ~100% efficiency
mircea_popescu: hard to outdo malleus for that purpose anyway
mircea_popescu: to soon to see. dun seem like it so far.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right, idea being that it is conceivable that 'aggression' increases isolation . i cannot yet rule it out.
mircea_popescu: and in the end you only get the blocks they give.
asciilifeform: and speaking of this, can haz patch that logs ~from what kind of node~ each ACCEPTED block came ? ( or do i have to do errything meself..? )
mircea_popescu: i don't see any change in behaviour. the prb node will produce ~same % of blocks with or without.
asciilifeform: ... as mircea_popescu prolly intuited , it remains possible that 'aggression' takes the trb<->prb link breakage from , say, the 80% of before, to 100% , and i would not learn about it until reaching tip.
asciilifeform: in ~1wk i expect to learn how it behaves at tip.
mircea_popescu: problem is the tip
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 15:07 asciilifeform: // Ask this guy to fill in what we're missing
asciilifeform: ( unrelatedly, but before i fughet, observation : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755826 i.e. bastardry handler, is unproductive because it asks 'fill in what we're missing', but 99 out of 100 shots, that's ~another~ bastard. really instead it ought to either 1) send a normal pushgetblocks() to the bastard-emitter , asking him for the ~one and only block we won't reject~, it being the immediately-next-one-after-our-topheight , or ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the part where "africa had no men BECAUSE IT FUCKING SUCKED" somehow escaped notice. fancy that wonder, http://trilema.com/2015/in-which-orwell-avoids-what-he-does-not-wish-to-see/
mircea_popescu: in the end it might turn out that vhs-america aborted itself because it listened to a bunch of mediocre women that just wanted an easy time teaching highschool ; but couldn't come out with it because puritan perversion.
mircea_popescu: 100% africanism, and it's what the "peace corps" was for
mircea_popescu: "higgs boson will end the world!!!"
mircea_popescu: heck, they were even bitching about how euro cyclotron MIGHT ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING, recall ?
mircea_popescu: matches observed experience perfectly -- suddenly ghetto empty of males. then... "manspreading".
mircea_popescu: and so decided to...
mircea_popescu: (because who are the writer-in-ny fantasies foolong, 100% of pantsuit were going into teaching)
mircea_popescu: factually, however, ustardian pantsuit visited africa [the nation of~] where they discovered that all-girl classes are a lot easier for the local subtards to handle than mixed classes they had at home
a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 17:05 asciilifeform: they have a phrase they use amongst themselves, 'societal security'.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-11#1450220 << thread ☝︎
mircea_popescu: all-girl school best. like they saw in africa.
mircea_popescu: this is the "day at nuke power station". and "boys will be boys" ie someone ACTUALLY DOING something is exactly the worst fucking nightmare.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 19:27 mircea_popescu: that is after all the point, neh, to somehow get as large a headcount as possible through the various gates (born, college, credit cards, mortgage, retirement hgome etc) WITHOUT "harming the environment" which in any practical sesne means... without changing anything.
asciilifeform: there remains the possibility that it was not, yet, in the l0gz...
mircea_popescu: yes, but this isn't it ; i'd have thought it'd have ecology in it because i recall the link being made, but also no dice.
asciilifeform: ^ recurring thread
mircea_popescu: i've engineered hell for myself here, "it's either in the log or on the blog" yes tyvm
mircea_popescu: apparently i can't find that discussion now.
mircea_popescu: it is an outgrowth of socialist fantasy, specifically constructed to deliver on the constructed impotence of socialism.
mircea_popescu: no, committee is very strictly dedicated to failing on the h bomb or anything else.
asciilifeform: it also only works where you have a throne room. would do 0 against a fungus.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the fantasy-mind. "wouldn't chocolate be better ?"
mircea_popescu: ie, deliberately contrived to extend whip reach for herself.
asciilifeform: then next wk 'tell us who is trying to be philosophical, and getting in the way...' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: smart man. do you see however how this is STRICTLY equivalent to slavegirl going "master, this spot, this spot doesn't hurt like the others, hit it harder."
asciilifeform: kurchatov, supposedly, sat and thought, and few minutes later answered, 'perhaps from philosophical pov this'd be consistent. but then we will have to forget about obtaining the bomb.' ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: stalin summoned kurchatov to the throne room, and described to him 'we're gonna have a cleanup, in physics, like in genetics, what do you think'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is that ; but not reliably, hence soviet alt-genetics.
mircea_popescu: which isn't nearly as fortunate a happy occurence as the fantasy-mind imagines from within ; but anyway
asciilifeform: kurchatov was able to work in conceptual sphere, and not only without interference but with offer of 'tell us who is getting in the way, he'll be gone next morning'
mircea_popescu: this follows from the definition of terms, if you manage to find a domain outside of the view of the whip therefore you escaped.
mircea_popescu: there is no under that's not an extension of by.
mircea_popescu: hatman HAD on what with. missed out on what TO.
mircea_popescu: because there's not so much conceptual within peasant ancestral experience.
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure stalin was capable. you see, the buffett mind, "i'm a smart conservative peasant", which seems to my eyes to be what stalin (or for that matter ro hatman) was struggling towards dun work for conceptual worlds.
asciilifeform often tries to picture what kind of software would have been written under stalin, if there had been on-what
mircea_popescu: but hey, by now the stuff of "bitcoin is backed by nothing, stick to dollars" is well stale i'd guess.
mircea_popescu: well, in typical manner of usgtronic cargocultism, they pretend to themselves as a captive audience that they've embraced&extended successfully.
mircea_popescu: authentic fear in the sweat and authentic blood on the instruments or no dice.
mircea_popescu: they have this in bdsm too, you know, rabid idiots doing "scenes", where they pretend like they're doing it.
mircea_popescu: correct module shall be written under the whip and in no other place.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."
mircea_popescu: or rather, ad-hoc modularization, in point of fact yet another necessarily failed attempt to go out of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704268 ☝︎
asciilifeform: it is theoretically possible to write a correct module, but prolly not by homo-phpicus.
asciilifeform: ( and can't simply use the html escape notation, because it gets literalized by the code-formatter )
asciilifeform: well how would it dwim. gotta offer an explicit escape. and the thing, apparently, doesn't.
asciilifeform: author, apparently, did not give it any ability to distinguish 'standalone double-quote because actually need it' from 'idjit user forgot to close the " '
mircea_popescu: better escape everything than special-escape some and then be stranded.
asciilifeform: ( being a code formatter, it naively insists on colouring the inside of the double-quotes... )
asciilifeform: i'ma prolly have to rewrite the code-formatter plugin thing, it insists on autoprocessing to emplace the escapes, but does not do ~mismatched~ double-quotes
asciilifeform: < , <, & , did not have to uniturd, there are ready-made escapes for these
asciilifeform: took a bit of massage to get it to stop mutilating >, <, &
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this one isn't a wp problem per se, it's interaction b/w wp and the colorizer thing
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 14:46 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1757842 << the wp 'code' plugin is massive headache, i've been fighting it since ch1 . ( e.g in ch4 i had to replace the " in ('"') with a similar-looking uniturd, because double-escape is apparently impossible )
shinohai: Why have I never seen this gem before? https://woz-u.com/ "Woz U provides a personalized approach to coding and tech education designed to get you through the curriculum faster so that you can get into the workforce quicker, and start changing the world."
shinohai: I fully intend to report on my results with patch after all this holiday nonsense is over.
asciilifeform: the current test on zoolag, however, is mighty interesting: after floundering in a sea of prb for ~hour, thing's been loading blocks almost continuously. at this rate will actually sync in a week or so.
asciilifeform: ( naturally , this is not a Troo Rigorous test. that'd go as i described, 2 identical, save for 'aggression', boxen, on 2 identical pipes )
