asciilifeform: the other constants, i looked up, but this one, naively memorized as 'megabyte'...
adlai: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.h?v=makefiles#0030 << Transactions'MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH oughtta be 1MiB = 10^6
asciilifeform: but this comes -- later.
asciilifeform: aaaand eventually the thing can get a correctness proof.
asciilifeform: then afterwards by fuzzing, e.g. crafting shitoshivarints that want to overrun arrays
asciilifeform: tested, btw, by taking a multitude of blocks (from eatblock), parsing'em in, then back out, and diff.
asciilifeform: ( several routines used but not included, this is not meant to be runnable genesis, but to show flavour )
asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/i8cY6/?raw=true << handling btc transactions to/from traditional/sane formats
asciilifeform: (or at the very least, in ~predictably~ nonconstant time)
asciilifeform: e.g. that it is possible to operate on a thing of bitcoin's complexity, in constant space AND time
asciilifeform: it is less useful per se, than as a demonstration of principle.
asciilifeform: but it remains, to demonstrate experimentally. ☟︎
asciilifeform: currently i suspect that a complete btctron can fit in 10k-line of ada.
asciilifeform: but no, i have not done this.
asciilifeform: to revisit upstack : yes, it is possible to implement ecdsa in constant space. after all, the sigs are of constant size, and the payload is maxed at 10,000Bt.
ben_vulpes: perhaps i am thinking of isMine?
ben_vulpes: trb just looks through the script for pubkey or pubkey hash opcodes
mircea_popescu: depends on which kindergarten one went to amirite alfier
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: actually implementing script verification is a serious work, quite likely to take entire year.
ben_vulpes: be ye not afraid of appearing retarded in the republic, for questions you might not ask for fear of appearing stupid turn out to illuminate all sorts of things.
asciilifeform: because gotta ~store~ them.
asciilifeform: it's an exploration of 'how to store tx?'
mircea_popescu: i had the idea it actually does verify sigs just not scripts.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that illuminated by previous comments / my understanding of his work.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: means 'not quite'. there is no script processing.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 00:47 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: presently it eats blocks and tx in a heapless and demonstrably nonoverflowable way, into a general-purpose fixed space (no tx can >1MB) representation that is operable in O(1)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the 'nq' in 'nqb'
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 12:08 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1633699 << it is a notbad library to study (no external deps!) -- but it DOES use heap.
mircea_popescu: i would much prefer an empty kingdom. i utterly have no use of these softie surogate idiot-usian parenting types.
asciilifeform: south -- used'em, incl. the dictators
asciilifeform: north -- shot the japanese collaborationists
asciilifeform: this point actually figured quite prominently in the north vs south kr wars
mircea_popescu: meanwhile poettering, i wasn't going to miss.
mircea_popescu: had mp not happened to make a comment and alf to insist and mp to read this bullshit, mp'd have never known what miserable immoral acts bernstein engages in regularly. and nobody'd have told him.
asciilifeform: philosophically, the d00d who lights the match, and the one who stands and watches, are 'same' ; in practice -- different, in that if you shoot the latter, very soon your kingdom is empty
mircea_popescu: correct strategy when dealing with the empire of idiots -- hang the idiots, not their handlers. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i will certainly hang the "nice people" in preference of the poetterings. just like trump does.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am not of the persuasion that poettering, ie, out and out wrecker, is in any sane sense worse than jwz, ie, "i'm just going to silently and passively enable the valence idiots".
asciilifeform: well there's 2 types, one is this, the other is when you let nsa filter the spam (google's)
mircea_popescu: they're ~all the same.
Framedragger: but this is along the lines of "could be coal miner, chucking coal 18h/day". well yeah...
asciilifeform: though in this capacity he may well be spent, and his useful life -- behind
asciilifeform: or for that matter could be one of those 999/1000 academics who churn out shannonized crapola.
asciilifeform: it is possible to have a worse one.
mircea_popescu: this is supposed to be mitigation ?
asciilifeform: re ' "Research" tasks adequate to that fuckdolls "level" ', the sad thing is that herding pigs is his ~day job~
asciilifeform: put on trilema, then he's doomed to see...
asciilifeform: not the lispm folx, not bernstein, whoever.
mircea_popescu: not for a fucking second. he is enabling the misbehaviour of 30yo children. i gotta do more work bitchlapping these idiot cunts into the ground because he buys them food and doesn't makle them pay for the shiot they break. ☟︎
asciilifeform: fwiw i wrote to him after i deployed phuctor-cum-bernsteintron. 0 answer.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i thought he was being a bit satirical and snarky in that particular passage you quote (those two paras), from when i read it first. not that his general pose of presenting an excuse (if diligently detailed) of this kind of a good sign, of course. just that the tone is not *that* bad. (but, okay, perhaps bad enough when the piece is considered in whole.)
mircea_popescu: anyone got an email of the dork ?
asciilifeform: i have nothing with which to explain it. or, e.g., taleb.
mircea_popescu: defend this, i wish to hear it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he "will spend significant time" to find... "Research" tasks adequate to that fuckdolls "level" yet he can't be bothered to figure out how deedbot works ? ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i am very offended by the behavious.
mircea_popescu: suddenly he's a novelist when these grease spots are concerned
mircea_popescu: guy is as terse as if he'd be writing with ass clicker when doing actual work
asciilifeform: incl. the motherfucking smooth integers algo.
mircea_popescu: idiot actually wrote a 12k word about this inept bullshit. where's his fucking 12k word discussion of any of his ACTUAL FUCKING WORK
mircea_popescu: but anyway, back to the upstream : https://archive.is/9zD8D#selection-9.3336-9.4865 the whole thing is rather damaging of bernstein's own standing and credibility. he engages in this sort of behaviours, he isn't much of a man, and certainly the sordid tale of his misbehaviour disabused me of any intention of rating him on the basis of his work. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: lots and lots of this, mostly mildly entertaining brat (term of art) upset she sucks at it and GETTING EVEN!!11
mircea_popescu: bing his floor. I want to be perfectly clear that there was nothing fun or kinky about this. I don't enjoy humiliation, and it was not a consensual part of our sex life."
mircea_popescu: "During these discussions there was a lot of gaslighting. One discussion in particular, he claimed that I had somehow deeply injured him (I don't remember what I did) and was inconsolable. I kept asking him what I could do, and finally he insisted that for him to feel better I needed to clean his floors naked. And I did it. I cried the whole time, in surreal horror. He cheered up and took photos of me, crying and naked, scrub
mircea_popescu: "I was in an abusive relationship with Jake for six months in 2009. We parted on ostensibly amicable terms and have had little contact since then. When the accusations of professional misconduct and predatory sexual behavior were made public, I believed them, not just because I value and respect the men and women who made these accusations, but also because they sounded just like him. I saw him use those same strategies years
mircea_popescu: in other "twentysomething metrosexual guys masquerading as neurotic, sexually neglected middle aged gals" news, check this shit out : http://jacobappelbaum.net/
mircea_popescu: seafood also contributes a healthy dose. especially these days.
mircea_popescu: (it's for instance one of the very few legitimate causes of cancer-from-smoking, notwithstanding the blanket nonsense spewing from ourdemocracytards.)
mircea_popescu: possibly one reason the eskimos are retarded, for instance.
mircea_popescu: why not the proven-to-work ricin thing, neh. who knows these things.
mircea_popescu: i don't explain the weird.
asciilifeform: and just as 'golden toilet' demonstrative.
asciilifeform: why not then , e.g., osmium.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to not misguide noobs : litvenko, usg agent that got murdered by the fsb in london, was poisoned with polonium. the alpha emitter effect of the metal, while present, was not necessarily. polonium is chemically toxic, much more so than cyanide, ld50 being in the microgram range (ie 1000ths of a grain of salt).
mircea_popescu: but by the microgram!
asciilifeform: i dun think the pestle is immune to friction
mircea_popescu: is he going to EAT the pestle ?!
asciilifeform: tell that to litvinenko lol.
mircea_popescu: phf alpha does nothing to you anyway.
phf: asciilifeform: why'd you say this. now i won't be able to make spices until i check. not like it would've killed me otherwise (tm)!
mircea_popescu: this "kitten is apparently half-capable of thought" scenarios always disturb me.
mircea_popescu: http://fare.livejournal.com/tag/ad%20hominem << lol at the "i write my text on windows" part ; but that aside the dude has a point.
mircea_popescu: possibly we're talking of two things. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i thought it was just a specially treated waste disposal method
asciilifeform: i thought faux-granite were a bakelite-like substance.
mircea_popescu: it does because same reason as the cinder thing
asciilifeform: well yes, that very same granite
mircea_popescu: this isn't simil-granite for putting on yoru wall ; actual rock dug out from ground and polished. imo better than jade.
asciilifeform: speaking of which, asciilifeform finally discovered how to make a decay-based rng that doesn't wear out or need high voltage -- use PIN diode. the q was always what to use for an emitter, that won't be stolen by post office of half the globe. granite, it occurs to me, is probably a good bet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: trick q, geiger won't pick up alpha
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yep. it's lower than water!
asciilifeform: lol granite... ever go over it with geiger ? (or the food..)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you have no idea. it's worth 150% there of what it'd be worth anywhere else.
mircea_popescu: phf nah these are quite elegant actually. and ferous granite also, it's a slpendor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i were actually doing > 2 tons or so i'd have bothered. but really didn't have enough to juysrtify actual shipping
asciilifeform: and by the time it came : 1) 2/3 was missing 2) the remainder -- was utterly redundant
phf: oh yeah i have those two, i bought one in india last time, and it's as close as you can get to "rock with hole, another rock for mashing"
asciilifeform: the funny bit, is that all of the junk went by ~boat~, in special container
