asciilifeform: not even in the sense that every street corner 'needs' a cop, or said cop 'needs' the democratizer baton on his belt
asciilifeform: the joke is always on the public, because at no point was so much as N=1 needed for any conceivable purpose
asciilifeform: (the rest - exercise for reader)
asciilifeform: 1) 'we MUST do N xs!!111!!!' 2) congress funds 2N 3) 'we could not afford to fill N x-s!' 4) congress funds 100N 5) 'we finally filled N/2! victory will come!' 6) 'private sector partnerz' snort coke, laugh all the way to 'skull and bones' frat reunion with N/2 worth of usd in the form of diamond suitcases.
asciilifeform: this is a standard usg racket:
asciilifeform: n00bz
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not Official until approved by hitler@whitehouse.gov
asciilifeform: them & the grapher.
asciilifeform really, really doesn't grasp why any of the things mentioned thus far - OTHER than the antecedent markers - are needed.
asciilifeform: ???
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-08-2015#1226813 << prolly the #1 common n00b observation. but you really want patches to only apply to precisely the thing they were meant for! context doesn't give you that. ☝︎
asciilifeform: these are not entirely related, however.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-08-2015#1226803 << i happen to like forth. i bring up chuck moore as an example of 'yes we can recreate 25 years of electronics on a napkin, and it'll fucking work' ☝︎
asciilifeform brb eating
asciilifeform: it is an example of a gnarly domain that chuck moore obliterated into something that fits in his palm.
asciilifeform: (imho the definitive work on the subject)
asciilifeform: ^ mega-classic
asciilifeform: http://yosefk.com/blog/my-history-with-forth-stack-machines.html << obligatory re: up/down of forth
asciilifeform: neh, as in pumping happily
asciilifeform: !s greenarrays
asciilifeform: he's in her right now.
asciilifeform: ask chuck moore.
asciilifeform: she might not be grade-a beauty, but fuckable.
asciilifeform: this is more like 'a few minutes' incantations create a gurl from thin air'
asciilifeform: it doesn't cure cancer, baldness, impotence, no.
asciilifeform: (so long as you have a serial port going)
asciilifeform: needing not even operating system.
asciilifeform: and worth noting that a perfectly usable forth, on which all of these examples will run, can be implemented for just about ~any~ machine in a few HUNDRED BYTES
asciilifeform: if it seems 'hairy', it is only to folks who don't use 'rpn' calculator daily.
asciilifeform: (basic maths)
asciilifeform: http://cubbi.com/fibonacci/forth.html << moar forth for n00bz
asciilifeform: l0l, medicine for corpse.
asciilifeform: 'A community will be Quarantined on Reddit when we deem its content to be extremely offensive or upsetting to the average redditor or to ourselves.' << l0lziez
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo ?
asciilifeform: or possibly only on ppc macs?
asciilifeform: btw if you own a 'mac' or a 'sun', you have forth.
asciilifeform: (remaining)
asciilifeform: possibly the only non-winblowz/wintel-based electronics toolchain in the world.
asciilifeform: this, recall, is the universe on which chuck moore built not only ic, but entire tooling for his fab.
asciilifeform: (and potential aficionados)
asciilifeform: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ExampleForthCode << for 'forth' n00bz
asciilifeform: 'you may not be interested in sapping, but sapping is interested in you'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu please don't change profession to sapper.
asciilifeform: l0l
asciilifeform: universe is to be perfect.
asciilifeform: and 'debug' only happens if someone made mistake.
asciilifeform: and twiddled
asciilifeform: can't be sourced at runtime
asciilifeform: not part of the universe.
asciilifeform: BECAUSE NOT FORTH
asciilifeform: you wouldn't
asciilifeform: resistance of the medium
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is not even the darkest voodoo. consider, e.g., http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=20-06-2015#1169416 ☝︎
asciilifeform: just one example.
asciilifeform: walks an array of $machineword and adds'em up, munging the carry bits as needed.
asciilifeform: say you wanna implement a bignum
asciilifeform: what, in particular ?
asciilifeform: l0l
asciilifeform: why else.
asciilifeform: because i'm a pauper ?
asciilifeform spent the past few hrs looking at what it'd take to craft the 'noble nodez' thing.
asciilifeform: dulap ~still~ in black hole.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty obvious that it would be a rare thing. most folks don't have nyse seats.
asciilifeform: laugh all you like, but i can't picture things working, long-term, any other way
asciilifeform: this is good prep for the shiny phyoootooreh of hello kitty when noble nodes will sit on trunk lines and connecting to them will cost what a seat at nyse costs
asciilifeform: to service a noble.
asciilifeform: #2 in particular means that 'plebes' get DROPPED EN MASSE if that's what it takes
asciilifeform: call'em 'supernodez' if feeling rpietilian
asciilifeform: 3) node is considered to be operating in red blinkenlight mode if ANY of them are not responding
asciilifeform: trinque: setting '-peers' for nodes which 1) don't obey 'misbehave' bits 2) get served PRIORITY regardless of what
asciilifeform: i have a box where some sniveling fucker has been lifting payloads out of tcp, for ~9+ hours now.
asciilifeform: this concerns all modes.
asciilifeform: trinque: i don't have ANYTHING -connect'ed
asciilifeform: for now it'll have to be hardcoded to port on localhost, pumped through ssh tunnel to remote host, where same.
asciilifeform: (mitm)
asciilifeform: i was loathe to implement hardcoded noble-peer by ip, because hitler can put whatever he wants at that ip, from the perspective of my box
asciilifeform: connect or fucking die.
asciilifeform: this should not be a thing.
asciilifeform: confirmed, neither zoolag nor incitatus is presently connected to dulap
asciilifeform: but is RETARDED in that it creates a drone node that can't be connected to by anyone.
asciilifeform: -connect takes multiples
asciilifeform: think of it this way: zoolag and incitatus were plugged into dulap with -addnode. but this was not enough
asciilifeform: but this is not enough, will need the hard-fuckyou-never-disconnect-from-nobles patch
asciilifeform: guess this means i'ma have to set up vpn between the nodez
asciilifeform: motherfuckers
asciilifeform: socket no message in first 60 seconds, 1 0
asciilifeform: other nodes - normal
asciilifeform: etc
asciilifeform: ...
asciilifeform: disconnecting node 103.1.71.45:50543
asciilifeform: socket closed
asciilifeform: accepted connection 103.1.71.45:50543
asciilifeform: disconnecting node 82.130.102.211:58774
asciilifeform: 'getinfo' call i made this morning ~STILL~ waiting
asciilifeform: dulap ~STILL~ wedged
