asciilifeform: mircea_popescu !

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu unfortunately i have not had time to write a manual. let's see if you can figure out how it works.

asciilifeform sent mircea_popescu 'V' version 100K. ☟︎

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu you've got mail.

asciilifeform: 'v' is done.

asciilifeform: in other nyooz,

asciilifeform: !up sexy_saffron

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: neato

asciilifeform: also helps if you know what automata are

asciilifeform: (and a pinch of complexity theory)

asciilifeform: if you're doing typical reversing work, you can mostly get by with a firm grasp of kindergarten arithmetic.

asciilifeform: mats: which maths you need, is something no one can answer for you. it depends heavily on what it is you are trying to think about.

asciilifeform: i probably could go on and on but doubt that anybody gives a fuck.

asciilifeform: mats: re: compiler construction, i prefer aho's 'dragon book' to appel

asciilifeform: for some reason he doesn't mention barendregt

asciilifeform: and papadimitriou

asciilifeform: mats: sipser and 'handbook of crypto' (crc? he doesn't say which) - i still have.

asciilifeform: mats: i had a good number of the books listed in the link, in school

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: !b 1 ✂︎

asciilifeform: mats: welcome to my hell

asciilifeform: what's an illegal immigrant with a non-overstayed visa ?

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: while bezzleprinter still works, they can require 'donation' of 'extra' organs on entry and folks will come

asciilifeform: which has things like cmov

asciilifeform: just pointing out that these are pathetically suboptimal on x64

asciilifeform: prolly not

asciilifeform: mats: one day somebody might collect a set of these which don't date to the 486

asciilifeform: it isn't

asciilifeform: opposite!

asciilifeform: and, more importantly, крепыши are not 'little fat men'

asciilifeform: sitting on multiple consoles, trying to wrap up 'v'

asciilifeform: nah just brainphart

asciilifeform: grep for Священником я мог бы стать

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://orwell.ru/library/essays/wiw/russian/r_wiw << here's that one

asciilifeform: yer right it only has the italian soldier

asciilifeform: ('the hero is a coward and the book reeks of piss')

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lulzy, 'Герой трус и от книги воняет мочой.' >> review of '1984'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://flibusta.net/b/98554/read << in there somewhere.

asciilifeform: funnily the ru translation (which i was reading last night) is 10x better

asciilifeform: notice that he is not known as a poet, aha

asciilifeform: i would be genuinely astonished if the enemy were not focusing his effort on precisely this kind of poison

asciilifeform: neato.

asciilifeform: given the current topology of the network

asciilifeform: xt nodes, even when running 'on dead squirrel in cardboard box under the bed', may well be enough as a 'neutron absorber'

asciilifeform: and this sufficed.

asciilifeform: for all i know, all 3 of my nodez are in mike hearn's ban list

asciilifeform: i have noted this before.

asciilifeform: only a question of who and when.

asciilifeform: unsigned plaintext 'asks for rape' - in the abstract

asciilifeform notices that it was already long there

asciilifeform puts 'tx dumper' on list of necessaries

asciilifeform: [the sound of silence]

asciilifeform: ......

asciilifeform: tail -f ~/.bitcoin/debug.log | grep 28d6b3ab

asciilifeform: let's say it straddled a former fork boundary

asciilifeform: i don't suppose there is anything unusual about this tx ?

asciilifeform: very well.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not seeing any sign of it in the log...

asciilifeform: fire.

asciilifeform: 1sec..

asciilifeform: i've seen this called 'bush effect', after the re-election of bush II in '04. a crowd of people whined re: 'how did he win, i don't know anyone who voted for him'

asciilifeform: like 'diff'

asciilifeform: there are obscure piles of shit

asciilifeform: i don't personally know ~anyone~ who uses the 'official' version

asciilifeform: 'wordpress' is famously a steaming pile of shit though

asciilifeform: that'd be strictly www ddosen, rather than bitcoin etc., no ?

asciilifeform changes gas mask filter

asciilifeform: dear satan.

asciilifeform: this has got to be a joke

asciilifeform: l0l!

asciilifeform: positions: '.... Happiness Engineer'

asciilifeform: ;;google automattic

asciilifeform: waitasec what is automattic ?

asciilifeform: as in, orifices for the cock

asciilifeform: for extra clarity: 'ddos sources' as in senders of the packets, or what is meant is 'ddos holes' ?

asciilifeform: no shit

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what in this case is 'coopted' ? even a tree stump can see that the buggers love to ddos

asciilifeform: punkman: not only.

asciilifeform: punkman: and, iirc, using 'connect' disables external listening and renders the thing useless as a public node

asciilifeform: punkman: yes

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu (corrected) dulap still behind; i had a thought that the very possibility of this problem is an atrocious idiocy - why should an infrastructural node (so0opernoude!!!) rely on the whims of wild animals to learn latest blocks? we need the 'nobles'-never-disconnect table. ☟︎

asciilifeform: *learn

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu dulap still behind; i had a thought that the very possibility of this problem is an atrocious idiocy - why should an infrastructural node (so0opernoude!!!) rely on the whims wild animals to lean latest blocks? we need the 'nobles'-never-disconnect table.

asciilifeform also traditionally counts printed circuit boards which are prolly considered by normal people to be fit only for gold reclamation, as 'scrap metal'

asciilifeform would like to learn, before dies, precisely why this happens and what determines how long it takes and where it comes off

asciilifeform: either scrap, or piles of laserprint so tall and old that the toner unstuck and transferred to adjacent page randomly

asciilifeform had something not entirely unlike this shelf in old flat

asciilifeform: hey dunt look at me, if that were me i'd be filling it up with scrap metal.

asciilifeform: in other nyooz, dulap now behind by 'only' 32 blocks.

asciilifeform: the elder, on the left, younger - right.

asciilifeform: children go in the middle niches, it looks like

asciilifeform: could fit two long, narrow dogs on the top.

asciilifeform: gonna guess, the oblong one in the right-hand bottom corner ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2015#1256443 << which shelf does dog go in ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: this thing ~will~ have to work without my pushing it, if only after i am shot - which, for all i know, could be scheduled for monday

asciilifeform: i would ~like~ for this to change, yes

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2015#1256426 << why, are you gonna do it? because thus far every single bit that involved serious surgery on therealbitcoin just sorta sat there until i did it. ☝︎
