asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://imgur.com/utXv9EY
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349331 << i wonder if these folks know the story of pavlik morozov ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349319 << l0l, modernized ver. of http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=21-05-2015#1142233 ? ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: an echo of the old derpwarz
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349306 << explicit cutoff on that site is 0.8 iirc ☝︎
asciilifeform: afaik the fella in question did not really have a chance. he had a bullet, but not the gun.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349296 >> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348495 ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: wai wut, 'we won't comment on this impalement for regulatory reasons' ??
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=20-11-2015#1328022 << see also ☝︎
asciilifeform: that is the face of the beast.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349291 << ahahahaha! RULE OF LAWWWWWW !?!?!!!!!11111 ☝︎
asciilifeform: shinohai: trb node is already there, see thread
asciilifeform: shinohai: reasonably soon
asciilifeform spent a good chunk of the last 2 days getting the multiprocessor phuctor werker into shape
asciilifeform: aha it is very spiffy
asciilifeform: and used multiple cpu, etc
asciilifeform: and didn't block on blockverify
asciilifeform: it ~would~ be the bottleneck if the thing were not written by tards
asciilifeform: and this is reflected in connection count as per earlier link
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349209 << not strangely. cpu and disk i/o is the bottleneck, i determined this to arbitrary precision. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349203 <<>> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-12-2015#1347639 ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: anyway i predicted usgcoin shortly after i first logged in here
asciilifeform: 'ignore highest PoW'
asciilifeform: just when i thought this couldn't get any lulzier
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349190 << l0l!! ☝︎
asciilifeform: ;;later tell VariaVarietatis please ask all trb questions in #bitcoin-assets
asciilifeform: this build is ~4MB incidentally
asciilifeform: *gentlemen
asciilifeform: gentlement, please welcome (back) bucephalus: 216.15.33.203:8333 - a trb node, now running asciilifeform's bleeding-edge (on musl-rotor)
asciilifeform: to the point of total unsurprise
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: benchmark fraud is precisely as old as benchmarks and is pestilentially pervasive ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349056 << l0l, iirc this was the self-proclaimed (!) biography of ninjashogun ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349099 << there are NO programming problems which merit a million lines of c. FOR THE SAME REASON as there are no architectural problems which merit a megatonne of tongue depressors. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349091 << not only no opteron, but the benchmark itself is gimmicked - use of magical intel instructions ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349086 << see the thread from 2 wks ago re: benchmarks and intel's 20 year record of elaborate fraud ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349039 << closest thing i know of to this is that ru ministry where they installed typewriters last year ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349036 << hermaphrodite ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349033 << 'programmers get off on complexity the way weight lifters get off on weight' ☝︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: and everything that will ever come later in re: trb, will be vpatches on top of the contents of that cd.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349020 << i'd like to actually press a cd. with the understanding that everything that will ever happen to the reference implementation, incl. compiler, asm, the whole toolchain shebang, all kernels worth looking at from the past, all trb dependencies, etc. WILL BE ON IT ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-12-2015#1349015 << you know that was kinda why i did the whole libc investigation, recall ? ☝︎
asciilifeform bbl.
asciilifeform: so nobody should be slacking.
asciilifeform: and my bus is virtually guaranteed to appear before all of this is over.
asciilifeform: mod6: we need to write own everything. long before the end.
asciilifeform: medicine for a corpse.
asciilifeform: i ain't patching openssl.
asciilifeform: etc.
asciilifeform: alternatively the whole orchestra is removable if somebody finds a bag of gold
asciilifeform: bdb is removable if anybody dares
asciilifeform: openssl is removable as per yesterday's thread (and the three or four similar old threadz)
asciilifeform: boost is - per my current estimate - removable if we're willing to replace boostisms with c++11isms
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: all the deps, really, are on the chopping block
asciilifeform: pressing of cd was perhaps the ONE good idea in openbsd
asciilifeform: then we can have cd pressed, at some point, and distribute ANY AND ALL changes as vpatches.
asciilifeform: a la openbsd.
asciilifeform: *cd-ifyable
asciilifeform: and be cd-ifying
asciilifeform: whole thing gotta ride in one ball
asciilifeform: but yes, fetching tarballs from the net during a build is retarded
asciilifeform: (go and try)
asciilifeform: but notably, the result is NOT something that anybody will dive into and clean up trb-style
asciilifeform: just hash the contents of buildroot's cache dir
asciilifeform: and iirc mod6 already did it
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is both necessary and easy
asciilifeform: shinohai: build static for linux and use compat layer
asciilifeform: possibly also 3) tx value/byte ordering --- but i'd put that under 2
asciilifeform: imho it has strictly two uses, 1) REFERENCE for writing an actual bitcoinatron, which is ~why i asked for it~ 2) keep the continuity flame burning until we can have 1
asciilifeform: i may have said this before, but it bears repeating - some folks might be labouring under unrealistic expectations re: what is possible with the reference trb.
asciilifeform: v the tarball hashes. ☟︎
asciilifeform: if i ever sign a bdb, boost, or openssl as 'honestly reviewed this' please shoot me
asciilifeform: see logz.
asciilifeform: this experiment, if anyone recalls, is how i discovered the libc crud to begin with
asciilifeform: incidentally the de-glibc-ized trb WILL run on netbsd now! ☟︎
asciilifeform: because... takes actual work
asciilifeform: BUT i never finished the nand support.
asciilifeform: i even ported it to motherfucking pogo
asciilifeform: netbsd is - potentially - v-ifyable.
asciilifeform: i did try netbsd, which has all of the same necessary attributes, BUT lacked essential drivers
asciilifeform: (and, note, there is NO known alternative to it)
asciilifeform: because it is not human-edible.
asciilifeform: i said that buildroot is not really v-ifiable.
asciilifeform: no mod6 remembers correctly
asciilifeform: rather than it being any kind of long-term answer to ANYTHING.
asciilifeform: i picked buildroot because it was the ONLY practical solution to letting folks who had not dedicated their lives to self-torture build a reasonable self-contained linux for $weirdcpu
asciilifeform: you can build it (if lucky) AND THAT'S ABOUT IT
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348882 << i said this because a GB of c source IS NOT ANYTHING-IFYABLE ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348879 << buildroot, iirc, will load tarballs from a local dir if they are present ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348856 << i'm not actually sure whether it needs any change ☝︎
asciilifeform: where did this crack smoke even come from
asciilifeform: ferfuxsake 2.4 doesn't run on anything one might care to run today
asciilifeform: i go pet a pet for an hour and come back to http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348866 ☝︎
asciilifeform: what next, odds of boxing match ?
asciilifeform: sounds like you're describing an ordinary coin flip ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: wai wut
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: what means 'almost shot' ? bullet whistled by, took off hat ?
asciilifeform: self-negrate
asciilifeform takes off hat
asciilifeform: is TheNewDeal 'calling in strike on own position' ?
asciilifeform: ^
