Framedragger: now they gonna talk about how one cant measure anything and need phuctor-made superclocks. kk. sure. but this is
as accurate
as it gets, sir
mircea_popescu: because any arbitrart hash has equal chances to be seen
as next hash
as any other.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-10 18:17 asciilifeform: do the arithmetic, it isn't
as if anyone can cancel the 'block per 10min' thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-10 17:16 asciilifeform: the Right Thing would probably be to have a very simple kernel driver that takes a specially-marked disk partition and gives userland trb linear use of it,
as plain array
Framedragger hears wind swoosh
as goalposts shifted at c velocity

a111: Logged on 2017-03-10 16:59 asciilifeform: now you store the table
as follows: the top 32 bits (e.g., 3ec455a2 from above) are an array index into this table
Framedragger: kk
as long
as we're clear - i've seen those "but what would happen with 1000s of symlinks in single folder!1" comments so thought that should be tested, etoo.
Framedragger: so here's the thing, if folder depth is increased, the actual numbers of symlinks per directory will be basically ~0,
as per those graphs from earlier.
Framedragger: in terms of thread-safety, yes (but not in benchmarking tool
as it's not using thread-safe posix functions, but then it's not writing anything, either). however, parallel performance not at all certain.
Framedragger: (fread() was 4k. files are short, with just the number of of 'block' for cross-confirmation and list of 'transactions'
as contents.)
Framedragger: there's an assumption
as max num of collisions here, of course, but obvs in practical terms it's a very safe assumption...
Framedragger: this is quite nice, and
as you say, seek operation already gives a small chunk which should cover most/all tx for current state of affairs (total number of transactions)...
Framedragger: asciilifeform: hmm, very nice. i suppose it's
as close to fixed-length
as is possible given current bitcoin
mircea_popescu: but,
as the eternally mentioned bottle well informs : the above has any merit only inasmuch it rankles the subject himself. otherwise it's nothing ; and besides there's many ways to, in brick pollitt's words, "hear that little click"
mod6: in the spirit of experimentation, it makes sense that one experiment would not necessairly contain the same changes
as a different experiment.
mircea_popescu: obviously argentina's ex whore is going to jail
as well...
mircea_popescu: is there such a thing
as an indian who isn't a total shitbag ?
Framedragger: << (obviously these'd be more useful with actual empirical numbers of average/median seek times, writes, seek/write
as things get congested, etc.)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yes, the fs is a major pile of dubious,
as asciilifeform well points out.
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-09#1623846 <-- fwiw the only way I can see this dependency on Python going anywhere would be if someone makes a sane replacement basically - however, artists need it but won't do it and otherwise people who are able to do it have a huge list of *other* things that need to be done
as far
as I can see; moreover (and
as usual already), the whole steaming pile is deep so I can't even say how much one
☝︎ Framedragger: yeah, okay;
as long
as it's not fixed-width trb-i, no way around this.
mircea_popescu: not
as such, no. but you can wedge it in through, eg, making it commit in batches
Framedragger: instead, it's "just" a matter of having a however-deep directory tree with symlinks
as the leaves.
mircea_popescu: ah. no, that is correctly within the limit,
as designed we'd have under 8 anyway
trinque: ben_vulpes: people could run
as many loggers
as they want, written in the simplest manner, and then moved on with our lives
trinque: ben_vulpes: how the hell am I defending myself by using
as many filthy whores
as possible?
mircea_popescu: that's because you stepped away just
as the firehose was going towards 30 lines/minute. you'll be stuck catching up for hours now.
trinque: which is no slight to alf's lady. maybe she takes part in the republic
as part of his house.
diana_coman: what is "all that" that you define
as vanity?
phf: but i still feel like it was a "waste" in a sense that usually you don't apply same educational methods on battlefield
as you do in a lyceum.
Framedragger: re. priorities and (natural) lack of 'global amazing konsensus priority list of shit to do', in my humble and very noob mind they are something like; 'p'; gossipd or partial iteration towards it; invoicing system; << these three'd useful for outside-tmsr interests fo sho; and nfi re. trb,
as on the one hand it's supposed to be super important,
mircea_popescu: there's at least ten thousand hooks they could readily, just
as soon
as they find their words, engage with.
mircea_popescu: i suppose. it'd have to be close to the fundamentals ,
as it is fundamental.
Framedragger: heh, this is close to entropy (and inequality
as 1/entropy)
Framedragger: this works to strengthen the notion that tmsr is apex of importance/awesomeness/etc.;
as otherwise one would be exposed to the possibility that "maybe we're not so important here anyway." :)
mircea_popescu is vaguely amused at the synchronization of the ladies-behind-the-lords : just
as one's sucked in, another's spat out.
mircea_popescu: i don't ask suck things in person,
as you well know i'm socially shy. gotta do it from behind kbd.
mircea_popescu: anyway, but the "i go write trbi" thing is not particularly useful
as an exercise in solipsism, herculean or otherwise.
phf: well, i regret spending so much energy on infrastructure, but i saw it
as necessary evil. the fact that others had to i see in terms of personal failure at best
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how to address the problem (clearly generated by the unfortunate combination of deep imbecility inborn in americans and the deep suicidal streak of the female state
as it is), and so what can i say.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 18:49 mircea_popescu: just
as long
as i pay 700 bux to the trb, it's not going anywhere.
mircea_popescu: anyway, irrelevant
as it is - currently "bu" is ahead of "segwit" in terms of prbisms.
phf: it all sort of ties together somehow. and yes,
as trinque said, starts with a particular face
a111: Logged on 2014-08-30 21:23 asciilifeform: i later learned that v. n. chelomei (famous soviet rocket designer) proposed the placement of atomic bombs near u.s. east costs using a scheme much like this. (official story - it was vetoed
as barbaric)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know the need to cut apart the hardware of a 50yo defunct company strikes me
as batshit insane
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 22:11 phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-08#1623164 << i missed that. i've reached out to zeptobars people and they are obviously interested in doing the scans
as long
as i provide the chip and they can post it to their site
mircea_popescu: apparently topless is perfectly acceptable where bitcoin isn't. just

a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 15:32 phf: besides the area is still primed by the british, bene gesserit style,
as sahib you will be sought out,
as an articulate and educated one you will be retained.
mircea_popescu: hojo sanemasa does not want this to have been in vain. because, if for no other reason, such
as pride, vanity, or social consensus, because he only has a finite count of these. they must be employed efficaciously. what now ?
mircea_popescu: the traditional caliphate, incidentally, exists
as a memory today (ie, a cultural mark) and existed historically (ie,
as a civilisation) principally, and i do mean that, ~principally~ because an early fellow invented the superb literary device of giving people in payment not just actual value, but caftans! strips of cloth written on! that then they can value to whatever arbitrary value they wish, to offset the absurd valuatio
mircea_popescu: that they're more than willing to hallucinate it in fiction does not of course preclude the actual people stuck with the job of management among the monkeys inventing what best could serve
as a palliative.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 14:50 asciilifeform:
as i picture it, a, e.g., mircea_popescu , would apply the only known pill: to create a kind of miniature british raj, where the locals know the consequences of misbehaviour
phf: besides the area is still primed by the british, bene gesserit style,
as sahib you will be sought out,
as an articulate and educated one you will be retained.
☟︎ phf: but i think the main source of rape is the government, rather then locals
as such. can find pretty much anything for local prices,
