asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well as i understood criticism from trinque was 'stop measuring with your arse, gotta have objective metric'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: your proposed benchmark wouldn't touch anything that can be described as clim
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you'll be benchmarking the underlying cltron, not clim, then
trinque: mircea_popescu: the hash wouldn't slow anybody down because I'd be hashing in one thread, updating UI with results in another as they pop out
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, on satellite
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what is even happening in there

asciilifeform: so what mircea_popescu just recommended was 'buy the same box that was too slow, but sans ecc'...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a 'modern' chip, and fritzed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fx is not a ecc chip
asciilifeform: (all of my full-sized mircea_popescu-style comps are 'bearded', this comes with using pre-obummer amd iron.)
davout: mircea_popescu: finding memory leaks? uninitialized memory accesses etc? helps when teaching oneself c++
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phun phakt, i replicated phuctor on a mac lappy (it happened to be the one in the room with sufficient free disk) and it works -- except that apparently gdb no longer works on latest crapple os ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: Framedragger, mircea_popescu : apparently nowadays you can buy 'thunderbolt' to pcie expanders, if the machine has this plug. (i have not tested this variant.)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you see http://btcbase.org/patches/makefiles#L378 ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: one of the several emacs shell thingers
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> honestly i have nfi what a "doorbell" is for. police doesn't knock anymore anyway and everyone else should make a fucking appointment. << apparently they are for backfeeding current into switched circuits they are wired off of when said circuits are "off"
asciilifeform: (tm) (r) (mircea_popescu)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aha yes i play the exact opposite game. "oh, the recycling bin is the big one? great, that's where everything goes."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wonder if they have prisoners sift through rubbish in search of lamps yet.
ben_vulpes: i snort derisively at you mircea_popescu
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: glorious socialist wasteland of stealing the stolen from
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i think you mean (return (many happy))
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, civilized ceiling
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2017/towards-a-better-hash-function/#comment-120966 << comment got snippetysnipped!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not practical to put a 200w-dissipating fixture on a ceiling already so low mircea_popescu would scratch the top of his dome if he came to my house
a111: Logged on 2017-01-05 19:34 mircea_popescu: yo phf
a111: Logged on 2017-01-05 11:11 mircea_popescu: incidentally ben_vulpes did you end up with a masamune thingee ?
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: I had previously sent you all the required information via PM. Perhaps my connection was (silently) dropped prior.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo dude this elliot. SO.LONG. why the fuck are all the retards so fucking longwinded. << Well this one's in England, and Tall, and not yet known to be An Hero
asciilifeform: !~later tell adlai plz consider making some ~use~ of your lispmuscles in a constructive direction. or, failing that, to tune in quietly and looksy-but-dun-touchsy. or you ~will~ end up drummed out, and this time i will not object nor would mircea_popescu et al particularly care if i did .
adlai thinks mircea_popescu wants him to shut up! so if i don't !!up myself again -- good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
asciilifeform: to quote mircea_popescu 'i have nfi how my ancestors ended up with me, and anyone who claims to know this about self is full o shit'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu realizes that gnudiff encoding is also nonunique, neh?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had a very spiffy article a while back
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we had similar case right in this shithole town, victim was spared (though not his animals) only because he turned out to be... the mayor
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa 'raid' is specifically a 'kick the dig until it bites, then shoot it' exterminator tactic against would-be cop shooters
asciilifeform: (incidentally you can cheat, mircea_popescu-style, by dividing the diffables into segments using 2+ newlines as divmarkers, and nw-ing the resulting segments, then outputting the diffs.)
asciilifeform: when mircea_popescu wakes up, he might have a less gentle and more memorable way to phrase this truism.
asciilifeform: it was a somewhat pathological example. but i will point out that in this system , mircea_popescu's tab-corrector patch would be 100% human-readable.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: What is punycode ? - Learn how to use punycode to register IDNs at ...: <https://www.dynadot.com/community/help/question/what-is-punycode>; Punycoder - the IDN / Punycode converter: <https://www.punycoder.com/>; RFC 3492 - Punycode : A Bootstring encoding of Unicode for ...: <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3492>
asciilifeform: (iirc it was mircea_popescu !)
asciilifeform: has mircea_popescu ever tried to implement traditional unix diff ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: like pkzip, or just about any format since 1962
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: really idea is stolen from teco
a111: Logged on 2017-01-05 00:04 mircea_popescu: i'm not fucking learning an aminoacid matrix to be able to use diff i tell you that,
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aye, 'twas a step in that direction
a111: Logged on 2016-10-19 18:15 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-19#1556766 << state its math part sometime.
adlai: mircea_popescu: thank you for the sauce though, i was about to puzzle out the exact meaning of "M%S-th" behaviorally
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why is R 0....0 in step1 ?
pete_dushenski: cheers to mircea_popescu for the regifting
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: neato!
asciilifeform: (unless mircea_popescu has one already)
a111: Logged on 2014-10-08 19:19 mircea_popescu: einstein never got the damned formula out because luce irigaray didn't see why he'd privilege the speed of light over other speeds that are so much more important to us. and so on.
a111: Logged on 2015-09-09 19:07 mircea_popescu: the idea was to make them user-enacted.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-04 02:18 mircea_popescu: davout your four main pieces are a b and c ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-04 01:42 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-03#1595871 << in practice this is how it works, and has, for at least 3 years now.
asciilifeform: https://cp4space.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/is-craig-wright/ << small vintage lulgem from mircea_popescu's link
asciilifeform: '... and that was how we found that the average policeman is not so smart, but very strong' (from -- iirc -- one of mircea_popescu's articles)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa, the ~only way to achieve this 'feat' is to pour into jerrycan first
asciilifeform: i like mircea_popescu's scheme, imho it should be written exactly like-so
asciilifeform is a bit more 'doomer' than mircea_popescu on this subj, and does not see a future for 'anyone can send packet to anyone' net in ~general~
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here i gotta agree, the 'allcomers can get their tx candidates evaluated' is doomed
asciilifeform: it is physical reality, and ergo by definition no moar 'insane' than gravity. unless mircea_popescu offers a breakthrough where we can test doublespendity without keeping blockchain around at all
asciilifeform: (a tx can have valid form in all sense other than being a doublespend, mircea_popescu knows this)
asciilifeform goes to reread mircea_popescu's scheme
asciilifeform: in the case of candidate-block and candidate-mempooltx queue receiver (from outside the walls), mircea_popescu proposes to throw out even the weak logic for banning obvious crapola that we have today in trb?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-03 20:48 mircea_popescu: in particular N.B should be "older overwrites newer" style ring buffer. of particular concern are situations where the buffer is set shorter than the longest reorg, in which case the node will wedge. TRB.N not accepting blocks with index lower than highest of B.B is for sure not feasible. "how many behind" should be an operator knob.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how does txtron accept/reject without talking to blockchaintron?
asciilifeform: and if you want reading material, reread the thread where mircea_popescu suggested crypto using transcendental constants etc
asciilifeform: let's take the cuts as specified by mircea_popescu earlier.
asciilifeform: trb miner is mircea_popescu's 'fleet in being'
asciilifeform: to steal from mircea_popescu's article on subj, 'get inseminated on purpose, rather than 'because hey, there was a party, and i like to drink''
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: imho it is necessary to 'defile grandfather's pistol' in certain carefully-selected ways, but only if it can be done while making it clear that it was defiled in ~these but not other, unspoken~ ways
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these: next!111
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely certain that the problem is solvable (it IS possible to define a richer diff language that permits block moves, but this also permits inscrutable-to-naked-eye patches to exist.)
a111: Logged on 2017-01-03 15:15 mircea_popescu: anyway, http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2011/08/grade_inflation.html ; total must-read.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can think of one (nonfatal, but quite unpleasant) headache: without a less-idiotic replacement for gnudiff, the resulting cut-trb becomes very difficult to pedigree to trad-trb . sorta like the problem with the tabs/spaces cleanup proposed by mircea_popescu last year
asciilifeform: it might be worth mircea_popescu's time to write a detailed sketch of this item.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-20 19:42 mircea_popescu: nope. blockchain part will get to it when it gets to it, and tell you. until then, peer part builds queues.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: draw the cut plox
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the tcp stack per se does not offer any means whereby two proggies speak simultaneously through 1 socket
a111: Logged on 2016-12-20 19:40 mircea_popescu: at the very least block digestion and peering must be cleaved in trb
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> why would it need torsion strength ? << Some people likely try this too late and cyanoacrylate is a poor filler material
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ever actually try this? cyanoacrylate has ~0 torsion strength
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: or epoxy or "red loctite" depending on how much force is planned to be needed to free
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: related http://xwap.me/books/36430/Skazka-skolzkaya-nemnozhko.html << supposedly written in gulag
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yeah but the 'moment of truth' comes when you go and buy 3, 4 figure (usd) 'adult' item and get same.
asciilifeform: i must echo the words of mircea_popescu's electric heater article, and say, that such a thing could never appear by chance, someone busted his arse to design something so malignantly anti-functional .
asciilifeform: a 'hello' for mircea_popescu et al.
shinohai: ah mircea_popescu you refering to scotcoin or whatever it is
