pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
that's
the point. ~two~ in one week. YOU MACHINE.
shinohai: Who are you and what did you do with
the real alf?
pete_dushenski: which, given
the country's historical association with romance, makes a lot of sense.
shinohai: Still saves me from scrolling
to bottom of page in lengthy article
shinohai: I adore
that feature about
trilema
too
shinohai posts asciilifeform 's article
to
twitter for krebskeks
burnsd03: oops,
thought
that was immediate :P in
that case - 1MrRrAtyYd8ava8gF24Rz7qkPZqn5FGxDi
mircea_popescu: so operator can set 200 gb for blockchain, it gets made into 200k cells,
they store 200k blocks and hallelujah.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: something like
this : have a ring structure (made of 1mb cells) holding all
the blocks. have a separate
tree structure ordering
them ; and a separate counter structure. whenever you import a new block, put it in
that ring cell which has lowest use count
mircea_popescu: actually
the more i
think about
this ... fully in-ram blockchain shat
to disk at configurable rate is
the elegant way out of here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is my point. should jizz out filewise. ie, once it has a 2gb worth of file all built up, spit it out nice and contiguous.
mircea_popescu: shinohai so it'd be practical for something like
that, you know, all blockchain in memory. no disk seeks, faster. if you run something like blockchain.info (though i doubt
they hold it all in ram)
a111: Logged on 2016-09-11 01:11 mircea_popescu: holy shit apparently
this guy's cca 2014 windoze prb stores blockchain in 128mb files, 100+ of
them by
that point ?
mircea_popescu: or on some shit implementation even smaller (i recall a lulz at
this in log)
mircea_popescu: yes, mempool is just
txn.
the way blockchain is currently stored, it comes in
these 2gb .dat files
mircea_popescu: actually since you brought it up it reminded me of vague discussion, so let's make it explicit. mod6 asciilifeform i dunno how practical it is yet, but eventually
trb block mechanics will have
to be expanded
to memory datastore, so
that it holds
the current blk000n it's working on in ram and dumps it
to disk only when full. MUCH easier
to cache a disk with no writes on it.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: well massive overkill.
trb wants what, 4g ? i was
thinking more in
terms of
tb.
shinohai: mircea_popescu is suitable for
trb ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally - anyone want or rather need boxes with very large ram ? i'm
thinking of expanding
to another rack with
this provider.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-23: [11:43:20] <a111> Logged on 2015-12-01 20:26 ascii_field: BingoBoingo, mircea_popescu, et al : does anyone else find
that krebsonsecurity refuses
to load from archive.is ?
mircea_popescu: they ddosed
trilema, qntra etc - nothing happened ;
they had
their agent ddosed -
that's
the end of
the road for him.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: here's
the stake, here's
the gasoline, are you gonna keep your clothes on ?
mircea_popescu: or in other words, "i ain't proving jack shit
to you. you maybe persuade me. maybe."
mircea_popescu: then you slowly start letting folk out who can prove
they had no connection.
mircea_popescu: anyway. should be obvious
that
there's plenty more room for
the anglopinoy
to fall, before
they reach
their level.
mircea_popescu: and as
to
the proper meaning of
the word revolution (which is - spinning in place!) : about
three centuries ago, back when industrialisation was well advanced much like computing
today and
the united colonies centered around fucking philadelphia were
the republic of
their
time,
the empire of china was very much
the producer of all good
things and disinterested in
trade because why.
mircea_popescu: (for
the innocent - as apparently #trilema is
the only reference for
that expression as far as google knows, and
truly it knows jack shit :
there's
this slave language spoken in china where english words are used in
the manner of idiomatics. it is incomprehensible in english ;
the example given
translates
to "the" (because demonstrative pronoun is still she) "sow" (ie, female adult - cow ; as a particle it modifies pig into s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, because
then i would still not have introduced - like i resisted changes by "romanian academy"
to romanian ; but at least i'd have a ready something
to point out as
the breach.
mircea_popescu: "a place for everything and everything in its place" exists for minds,
too. it's called "know what
the fuck are you doing and why you're doing it".
the alternative is cosby's brain damage.
mircea_popescu: come
to
think of it, i know of no better definition of intelligence,
than
the absence of
this process.
PeterL: yes,
this is a memetic mutation.
these
things happen
mircea_popescu: PeterL at issue is not "harm", as per a personal and arbitrary definition. at issue is
the process. change happens in actual cultures as an aware, commented process. not like
this.
mircea_popescu: change is change, like when i
tell my mother listen, i used
to like you but now i don't like you anymore ; not like when i wake up one day and don't even know i had one, like some sort of cat or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: if
tomorrow everyone starts yielling about how vaginas have balls,
that's gonna be it, first population with ballsacs for both genders.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea who even decided
this, it just looks like someone in
teacher's school just flipped a bit, started sending out
teachers with corrupted spelling of prilivedge, and since nobody reads anything anyway it just perpetuated,
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's a reason i said sometime in 80s above.
that'd be
the reason.
PeterL: really, I am just giving you a hard
time. I accept
the word either way.
mircea_popescu: PeterL :
the greeley guide
to medical staff by laws, j d cooper, introduction page x ;
BingoBoingo: Come on guy, don't juge yourself
too harshly.
PeterL: I was
talking about just before
the g
PeterL: you have links
to historical documents spelling it "priviledge"?
mircea_popescu: which fucking one of
the FOUR e-i candidates in prIvIlEdgE are you discussing ?
