asciilifeform: incidentally, to pick up a thread from last night, one useful lemma re: chaining is,
asciilifeform: srsly, if there is one mega-lesson mircea_popescu taught me, it is that by DEMANDING sanity, you will get it
asciilifeform: what does using multiple SANELY INDEPENDENT cipherators cost mircea_popescu ?
asciilifeform: possibly unlike mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: back to earlier's thread, i am willing to pascal's wager on shor's algo SO LONG AS it costs me nothing.
asciilifeform: it is provably not doable for arbitrary turing tape.
asciilifeform: but for 'certain values of works' - worx.
asciilifeform: not ~UNIVERSAL~, and provably
asciilifeform: i have it right here at rupture farms
asciilifeform: actually mega-nonsecret, it sorta does work
asciilifeform: deindustrialize.
asciilifeform: plus the whole climatology thing was a misguided excercise - the reich for some reason thought people would happily deindustrialize and starve out of religious fervor, but then understood that bayonet is good enough
asciilifeform: (per yesterday's log)
asciilifeform: already started, no ?
asciilifeform: but in point of fact, miners being retarded does not mean the protocol has changed.
asciilifeform: now this is true
asciilifeform: which are known to have been mined in reality
asciilifeform: how would it admit anything other than the test tx pool made from smashed real-world blocks ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah and precisely the point, i would like to learn ~what~ cannot be done any more
asciilifeform: phun phakt - coastal usaschwitz inmates regard the inlands as 'flyover', a sort of built-in zimbabwe, and give very little fuck re: what happens there
asciilifeform: then let them get re-mined
asciilifeform: on an isolated lan, place trb nodes, and break all known blocks into tx,
asciilifeform: incidentally, here is a very painful test i've contemplated
asciilifeform: nor what failures to test for.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the other little boojum is that we don't actually know a known-good output for most of the thing.
asciilifeform: (you simulate, approximately, a few hours of planet)
asciilifeform: this might be a productive approach for trb
asciilifeform: i've experimented with tcp replay for testing
asciilifeform: and moreover, it cannot be tested meaningfully except in live fire
asciilifeform: rather than malfunction/misdesign of any particular component
asciilifeform: and much of the undesired behaviour we've seen so far occurs only as part of the system
asciilifeform: one tricky bit is that trb is a ~system~
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: testing - 100th place.
asciilifeform: with corrections 2nd best
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mno. not-making-bugs is the best thing there is.
asciilifeform: why is this needed, again ?
asciilifeform: ^
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: show up at city hall, get drinkable water. if not, not.
asciilifeform: they are degenerating literally to the level of inca palace economy
asciilifeform: the flint thing is an elegant illustration of reality, re: this.
asciilifeform: whereas there is a widespread delusion in usa, that tax is somehow payment for services rendered
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: usg and local microusglets have no intention of collecting any less tax as infrastructure vanishes
asciilifeform: so what i was thinking is,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc it wasn't only lead, but various bacteria, obvious stink, every possible 'don't even wash your hands with this, much less drink' indicator imaginable
asciilifeform: i thought we had 313337 perl scriptz or somesuch, for test
asciilifeform: mod6: nfi. what even is this
asciilifeform: usa.
asciilifeform: flint, mi.
asciilifeform: (who are forced to keep paying for the unusable water, and may not legally sell the house)
asciilifeform: no mention, of course, of the dekulakized property owners
asciilifeform: all in terms of 'tragedy', 'oh noez, city folks are getting bottles of clean water when showing id, but illegal mexicans have no id, what sad'
asciilifeform: speaking of collapse, the lulfest in michigan is interesting in light of how it is presented by volkischer beobachter
asciilifeform: what the monkey cannot do, however, is aim. much less make a kalash.
asciilifeform: sure does.
asciilifeform: well if the whole appeal of orcs is 'not yet radiation damaged'
asciilifeform: snore.
asciilifeform: they also burn heretics for idolatry, all the while pilgrimaging to 'dome of the rock', etc.
asciilifeform: naturally no other pope is welcome
asciilifeform: eh they just have a different pope

asciilifeform: ^ re: tank, megaclassic

asciilifeform: !s tigerfibel
asciilifeform: lulzily, i actually liked the built-in debugger in ida.
asciilifeform: mats: idapython specifically?? in windbg? Why?

asciilifeform: nubbins`: nope
asciilifeform: nubbins`: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=06-02-2016#1398202 ☝︎
asciilifeform: i confess, i do not usually read his thing
asciilifeform: because i have nfi
asciilifeform: ask'im when he wakes up.
asciilifeform: for heathens to read
asciilifeform: nubbins`: iirc he does it deliberately, it was supposed to be a summary thing
asciilifeform: and possibly he handled one of mircea_popescu's synthetic assetrons, but i genuinely don't recall, this is far from my home planet
asciilifeform: nubbins`: iirc he wanted to be propaganda minister or the like
asciilifeform: mats: i well recall that it was a proper, orderly, military pant-shitting, don't worry
asciilifeform: goodnight pete_d_out.
asciilifeform: i included!
asciilifeform: (boot camp, boots, grunting, shitting oneself, sapping, other arts)
asciilifeform: pete_d_out: i mainly associate him with american army and related matters
asciilifeform: ^l0l!
asciilifeform: pete_d_out: iirc he was doing the judges thing
asciilifeform: ^ or at least ~were~
asciilifeform: (and yes, i am aware that the 'official' items are also made in cn. but they are NOT chinese in the usual sense, there are taskmasters ruthlessly driving the slaves and testing conformance to spec)
