asciilifeform: if someone speaks while this algo is carried out, correct result can ~not~ be guaranteed.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: no, I don't think it can safely be fully automatic or not at this stage at least.
asciilifeform: if diana_coman et al know how to turn this algo into one suitable for automatic operation, i'ma take off my hat, and write it.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: my point re misleading longest sequence was if new talk in between getting sequence from a and from b, causing b to be longest just because latest retrieved; anyway, I don't think it can be done a whole lot better at this level really.
asciilifeform: tho even then you would have to impose conditions re what happens when 2 or more peers disagree.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if one or more of the peers contains the truthful record of the interval, the 'longest' algo will select that peer.
diana_coman: true; honestly, the only reasonable sync that I can see is literally bots talking to one another ie ...gossipd, no?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: entirely correct, re disconnected bot ; though someone may speak ~as it reconnects~
diana_coman: or hm, the "longest sequence" may be misleading
diana_coman: in principle if one runs it with bot *disconnected*, a talk within the sync interval simply requires a re-run rather than breaking anything, no?
asciilifeform: (a) may be violated if one of the loggers is not merely missing lines but is in some way broken .
snsabot: (ossasepia) 2019-10-03 asciilifeform: diana_coman: there is 1 potential point of danger re the described syncer -- if the 'break line' chosen was ~itself~ imported from another bot, it may result in unwanted droppage ( there is no guarantee of monotonicity of timestamps except as written by ~one particular~ bot, atm )
asciilifeform: (c) in particular may be violated if there are recently imported (from peer loggers) lines in the db .
asciilifeform: so, to complete the picture, this algo is guaranteed to work correctly if a) one of the peers actually contains the complete log segment for time T .. present b) no one speaks in the interval while it operates c) the timestamp T correctly represents the cutoff
diana_coman: ah, you mean the timestamp as cross-chan reference point locally
asciilifeform: diana_coman: idea is to sync all chans , rather than having to fire per-chan.
asciilifeform: et of loggers that returned valid outputs 7) eats.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: aite. proposed algo , is a manually-triggered item that 1) takes a 'breakage point', i.e. last known correctly logged line represented by tuple [chan, index] . 2) finds its timestamp 3) drops errything in db postdating said timestamp 4) walks list of peer loggers, fetches for each enabled chan, errything from last-known-idx i to i+500 5) 4 is repeated until returns <500 6) then takes the ~longest~ such result, from the s
diana_coman: asciilifeform: why use timestamps rather than log lines number though? I don't get how is that better at all; ie give syncer "last known ok line", should drop anything with id > that for the chan; then import everything with id > that from the reference
diana_coman: asciilifeform: better state it here though
snsabot: (ossasepia) 2019-10-03 asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is correct, and in fact is moar serious, from mathematical pov, problem , than appears at 1st glance
asciilifeform: folx w/ mathematical inclinations, invited to comment re auto-sync algo described in #o .
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939767 << nifty! I will apply patch later today (submerged in saecular liquishit atm)
asciilifeform: there's of course a set of much later converts there, via the usa conquest, but these have sumthing like proper translations.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 02:35:01 mp_en_viaje: japan nonsense immensely less defensible on these same lines, of course/
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939710 << funnily enuff, the crypto-christians left behind in jp after missionaries expelled, mutated into such a bizarre fork chain that modern church does not recognize'em as anyffin at all ( they mutter unrecognizable chants , which at some pt in 17th c were latin , from phonetic crib sheets to this day... but elsewise resemble 'insular buddhist sect' very closely )
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 03:52:06 mp_en_viaje: thar shit about the turks cruelties and barbarities whereby they came by the hundred to "kidnap" a woman and some children (ie, her owner reclaimed her) and otherwise stole some bees and ~THREATENED~ to rustle cattle (who the fuck warns of this, srsly now)...
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939730 << i thought turks mainly picked up youngest-sons for the yenicheri corps
asciilifeform: asks again, 'boy...' finally boy takes off helmet and utters : 'sir, i fess up, i dun know these things, cuz i aint a REAL WELDER!!!'
asciilifeform: asks again : 'boy, do you know what is to cum?' boy, again, 'no sir'
asciilifeform: boy still wearing the helmet. driver asks, 'kiddo, do you know what the penis is ?' boy, puzzled, 'no sir'
asciilifeform: he walks along the street. suddenly a van stops, and inside there is pedofag , 'hey boy, like candy?' boy -- gets in.
asciilifeform: once upon a time, a drunken construction crew left behind a welder's hat. a little boy picks it up and puts on;
asciilifeform reminds readers that he is not in any capacity in tbf and cannot formally nominate anyone . matter is entirely in hands of mod6 , tho he'd be wise to consult mp re wat-do imho.
asciilifeform wonders whether bvt , trinque , hanbot, or spyked might want the job
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Qlater tell trinque do you think you can get ben to reappear for long enuff to properly appoint tbf successor ? cuz imho a heavy bag o'coin attached to a beheaded tbf is unseemly and the orig charter offers no gc mechanism for it

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939785 << not even to disagree w/ mp_en_viaje's comments, but hey mod6 there's an even moar elementary problem : ben_vulpes went to bottom of the sea, and you haven't filled his throne yet (per charter, oughta)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i'ma have to buy, cuz unequipped to comment in detail just yet
mp_en_viaje: there is literally no case of consonant-e- root from slavic that became consonant-i in ro.
mp_en_viaje: deretica (prob ultimately from de-radicare) not diretica ; descurca not discurca (even through very likely from incolicare -- because conflict with discourse) ; melc not milc ; jertfa not jirtfa while sila not sela ; veac not viac ~even though pronounciation is almost there, writing still has not followed~. and so ongoing.

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939777 << a "me" will not be imported as "mi", because of complicated ethophonetic considerations that are directly and easily explained by reference to uncanny valley. man might take mulatto wife, but will not take corpse wife. even if was white in life, and gray is closer to white than chocolate.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 03:47:32 mp_en_viaje: re Vlad IV, one notable aspect could be that he was at least 70yo when he died. puts things in perspective, doesn't it, to think that he was certainly alive by 1425 and yet only ascended in the 80s. supposedly this sorta longevity wasn't supposed to be possible, at the time, at the margins.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939728 << the old libertard trick of presenting life expectancy as a scalar is as elementary as '3 card monte', ~nobody falls for it unless 'wants to'

asciilifeform: ok, whole thing nao current .
asciilifeform: ( tho i'ma reset mine later today, to display correct ver )
asciilifeform: was in reader, rather than bot; lobbes , diana_coman , no need to reset bots.
asciilifeform: i find it interesting that folx immediately assumed the bug were a feature, lol.
asciilifeform: 'sept_errata.kv.vpatch' fixes the barf detailed earlier .
asciilifeform: literally single-digit typo

snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 02:42:17 mp_en_viaje: took me a while to figure out wtf there's a spurious "bot" in there. honestly asciilifeform i don't think adding text after the name is acceptable. maybe a [B] prefix for the name ? ie instead of "snsabot bot I am bot version 596907." do "[B]snsabot I am bot version 596907."
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939717 << this is bug, i'ma take a look shortly ( and bots already were marked in grey, no need at all for any other marking )

diana_coman: I agree with the spurious "bot" though; now it reads "ossabot bot", ugh.
diana_coman: and bot re-deployed, pressed to latest head (aka bvt's vpatch)
diana_coman: bvt: thank you! signed and mirrored: http://ossasepia.com/reference-code-shelf/?b=active_disconnect&e=#select
bvt: asciilifeform, diana_coman: i have reuploaded the reground vpatch with version in bot.py set correctly
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 03:41:29 diana_coman: bvt: no worries; I'll first just make the changes, deploy and see how it keeps on; though it took ossabot ~10 days before it fell down at all.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 12:16:49 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939617 << this is how i ended up with an almost entirely broken reconnector for 40d, lol
spyked apologizes to diana_coman for the upcoming headache
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939722 <-- huh, indeed. niște/fiște didn't pop out, /me went straight to miriște/bobiște/cânepiște
spyked: lol. at least they have a phd at sorbonne.
mp_en_viaje: but above recipe could readily make an ACTUAL romanian scholar, whom the rest of the rotards could pretend doesn't exist and "be surprised" etcetera, like they do.
mp_en_viaje: but data is scarce (mostly becayse rotards too stupid to learn turkish, go to istanbul, read archives ; and nobody else gives a shit so far)
mp_en_viaje: anyway, vlad 4 aka"the monk" seems rather like a local stoic, in the aurelian tradition.
spyked: mp_en_viaje, /me hoped to find moar about these in the museum of history. unfortunately museum had trouble keeping the lights on, let alone present interesting deeds of vlad iv. and it was like this most places, they simply kept lights off until we showed.
mp_en_viaje: it's somewhat a pity he was born before they figured out how to make houses, thus he's just as useless in practice as yest's discussed schloss.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-03 03:56:24 mp_en_viaje: very much protests re http://thetarpit.org/uploads/2019/10/targoviste-04-thumb.png creepy designation. not creepy at all, just... has had a hard life, but nevertheles... is very happy to see you! 
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939727 <-- really liked the house, but dunno why current owners decided to put a scarecrow (scarehuman?) at one of the windows. prolly because largely abandoned? there were similar houses in town in top shape.
spyked: mp_en_viaje, must admit to not having read most of the chronicles of the time, but still irked by locals' attempt at turning voivods into national heroes. "mihai had the purpose of reuniting romanian principalities" my foot.
mp_en_viaje: thar shit about the turks cruelties and barbarities whereby they came by the hundred to "kidnap" a woman and some children (ie, her owner reclaimed her) and otherwise stole some bees and ~THREATENED~ to rustle cattle (who the fuck warns of this, srsly now)...

mp_en_viaje: anyway, tirgoviste, "marketness". what both london and washington ever aspired to be, yet never figured out how to state.
mp_en_viaje: anyways, the etymologically closest english for miriste would perhaps be "real estate". it derived through different paths and ended up co-opted into different usages by a very differently built up imaginarium ; nevertheless it's what it is : cunt in its used up state, the world autumnal.
mp_en_viaje: the root, seeing how me ain't EVEN CLOSE to mi. not AT ALL, not even vaguely how these things work whatsoever.
mp_en_viaje: as always, romanian "dictionaries" made by tards, deeply unqualified to be away from munca de jos : https://dexonline.ro/definitie/miri%C8%99te quotes some imaginary bulgarian "мерище", that aside from not actually existing in bulgarian (there exists a town in Країна Хорватія whose name's thusly spelled IN UKRAINIAN though, of course, of course), can't even possibly be

snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 23:48:52 lobbes: but indeed, top priority for me right now is getting mircea_popescu's bot complete. Hopefully fleanode weather + data center gnomes will be kind in the meantime
mp_en_viaje: took me a while to figure out wtf there's a spurious "bot" in there. honestly asciilifeform i don't think adding text after the name is acceptable. maybe a [B] prefix for the name ? ie instead of "snsabot bot I am bot version 596907." do "[B]snsabot I am bot version 596907."
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 20:35:30 lobbes: wonders if it is worth it in next patch to have bot.py simply parse the MANIFEST.txt for version number emitting
mp_en_viaje: the one advantage of http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939683 as a general policy of the republic would be that it'd permit more meaningful / informative version reports. ie, "snsabot bot I am bot version 596907, "added mustachios and removed pistachios", by dillaudildo." in lieu of "snsabot bot I am bot version 596907."
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 20:36:24 asciilifeform: lobbes: imho it really aint too much to ask, for folx to mark version in the piece being altered, considering that bot has own version (changes moar rarely than reader)
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939685 << which makes it easy to forget (not that i'm defending it).
mp_en_viaje: japan nonsense immensely less defensible on these same lines, of course/
mp_en_viaje: it was, amusingly, the chinese emperor who lacked subtility ; not that i fundamentally disagree with his first pass evaluation. but it is he that's the simple native in the relationship, on last examination.
mp_en_viaje: think for the sake of argument how "not losing" china'd have looked : 2/3 of cardinals born over there within less than a century ? last italian pope in 18th century ? last euro pope so long ago nobody over here even remembers it ?
