asciilifeform: whereby the whole thing is quite snore
asciilifeform: adlai: this is actually sop in the machine-go business
asciilifeform: aka not enough rng.
asciilifeform: anything that is an average of an aggregate tends to lack 'sharp edges'
asciilifeform: !s eysenck
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-02-2016#1409517 << recall the thread re: eysenck's 'psychoticism trait' ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-02-2016#1409505 << what was this in re: to ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-02-2016#1409548 << laugh, but as a schoolboy i wanted to build exactly this. even wrote lengthy treatise turd concerning it. even bought fpga (and then realized that i have no way to attach it to a board, 0.5mm pitch) ☝︎
asciilifeform: undead rises!11
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: good piece. but generally.
asciilifeform: cazalla: from the pov of the cattle herders, you're 'insane' for refusing their palliative shuddup-pillz
asciilifeform: hm
asciilifeform: !s психушка
asciilifeform: waiwut?
asciilifeform: cazalla_: come visit usascwitz, your pesthole will look great in comparison when you come back...
asciilifeform: 42 motherfucking c?! is he posting from his tank?!
asciilifeform: i don't think my cpu thermistor even is at 42c on most days!111
asciilifeform: where are you adlai, a sauna ?!
asciilifeform: 42 C ?!!
asciilifeform: all of this goes for ben_vulpes also. ☟︎
asciilifeform: l0ltr0n
asciilifeform: i am not in the habit of prodding people, but can't help but prod adlai. it is almost as if he were put upon the earth by the gods themselves just to add to shiva.scm.
asciilifeform: adlai: you can start contributing lisp
asciilifeform: even builds own compiler, so long as you can dig up some gcc post-1995 or so that will build the current gcc
asciilifeform: adlai: you know at this point a trained seal could build it
asciilifeform: share yer patches plox.
asciilifeform: adlai: ml says you haven't !
asciilifeform: so whatchawaitingfor
asciilifeform: adlai: when i wrote shiva, i very much expected adlai in particular to pick it up
asciilifeform: adlai: why dontcha shivaize it!
asciilifeform: ewww
asciilifeform: what's that
asciilifeform: unpublished shiva extension ?
asciilifeform: adlai: yes but WHERE
asciilifeform: adlai: where's this
asciilifeform: 'wallet' must die.
asciilifeform: wut?!
asciilifeform: l0l!
asciilifeform: that's what kiseido is for
asciilifeform: adlai: i normally play on igs
asciilifeform: l0l work
asciilifeform: mmmhmmmnnmm.
asciilifeform: and speaking of, why has ussa not adopted the wonderful custom of playing 'swan lake' when politburo man dies ?
asciilifeform: incidentally, i drove past it today, as every day, flags at half mast all week (herr scalia ?)
asciilifeform: (have you ever heard of a ~person~ paying for winblowz?!)
asciilifeform: remember, this is how microshit eats.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: same thing they were doing earlier with 10 million older solitaire stations !
asciilifeform strongly suspects that the very notion of ~identity~ is Ur-terrifying to monkey man
asciilifeform: because this is a technology that only makes sense in wot planet
asciilifeform: but point was, i bet monkey cannot actually conceive of the 'no hardcoded seed thing'
asciilifeform: nfi
asciilifeform: yes (though this was not even the main lul)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: some monkey in the reddit thread
asciilifeform: actually thought, or pretended to, that we hardcoded the idiot sipa seed thing
asciilifeform: consider, for instance, the anon who 'who'll be laughing when peter todd changes hosting providers'
asciilifeform: i think that a more elementary thing is at work - these folks literally can't imagine a box other than 'ubuntu', rathead, etc. with 'autoupdater' and the like
asciilifeform: waiwut
asciilifeform: (perhaps only funny to me?)
asciilifeform: the other lul from the thread was the people (?) vigorously denying that a unix box could run without ever invoking dns
asciilifeform: afaik all literate folk know about, e.g., the auschwitz inmates who collected scraps of german uniforms, etc. ☟︎
asciilifeform: there was a spiffy mircea_popescu article where he discusses how victim with no recourse internally re-wires itself
asciilifeform: the glibc one or otherwise
asciilifeform: btw gox is one possible candidate for 'did they ever fire the glass cannon' ?
asciilifeform: not sure what came after that, it was when i quit reading
asciilifeform: and 1,001 like marvels.
asciilifeform: apparently peanut gallery holds mircea_popescu responsible (somehow) for... gox
asciilifeform made the mistake of looking at yesterday's reddit thread. barfalicious.
asciilifeform falls down.
asciilifeform: ah l0l
asciilifeform: i thought that was perl
asciilifeform: !s parachute
asciilifeform: (the folks who laughed when i said 'no curl on trb build box' - still laughing ?) ☟︎
asciilifeform: hey i specialize in uselessly predicting crapocalypses years before they happen. ☟︎
asciilifeform: (left as an exercise for the reader, how.)
asciilifeform: this is buildable.
asciilifeform: oh one other thing, blocks really ought to live on a storage device where connecting tx outputs is a constant-time operation.
asciilifeform: http://joshuawise.com/projects/ndfslave << for anyone who wondered how 'wear leveling' worked.
asciilifeform: last thing i will say for now on subj is - expect many more 'rowhammer'-like effects as desperate wunderwaffen attempts to resuscitate 'moore's law' explore new depths of fuhrerbunker desperation.
asciilifeform: doesn't need to be pre-baked at tapeout
asciilifeform: remember, antifuse isn't mask rom
asciilifeform: all blocks.
asciilifeform: but as far as i can tell, it is no longer manufactured in any serious quantity.
asciilifeform: blocks really oughta live on storage that doesn't measurably wear. luckily this was invented in the '70s, and is called antifuse rom.
asciilifeform: or rather, raid5 will prevent the machine from coughing up corrupted blocks, but enemy can still drive you into penury by inducing wear
asciilifeform: any of the off-the-shelf ones, as far as i can tell
asciilifeform: (it could, conveivably, be made to)
asciilifeform: in this case.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: raid doesn't help.
asciilifeform: ah!
asciilifeform: needs crafted seek pattern.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite possible, try it
asciilifeform: (i can't recall if this was public, but IT IS NOW!111)
asciilifeform: which opens up a rowhammer-like attack vector. ☟︎
asciilifeform: recent discovery is that nand flash slowly self-erases from ~reading~
asciilifeform: for blockchain.
asciilifeform: trinque: nope
asciilifeform: *these links
asciilifeform: jurov: these likes are from my recent attempt to locate a modern supplier of antifuse rom of reasonable density
asciilifeform: ^ proggy that reads mask rom ~optically~
asciilifeform: ^ much pr0n
