trinque: the guy just added optimization flags
to a debian benchmark
adlai: trinque: maybe you're confusing
the slowness of compilation with
that of execution? python is a very slow compiler.
adlai: it DOES know
that different markets on
the same exchange could overlap, so a lower fruit is "triangular arbitrage" (eg, simultaneously
trading btcusd, atcusd, and btcatc)
adlai: "time-arbitrage" (ie, buy-low-sell-high-and-hope-the-noise-continues) is entirely automatic (up
to sane/profitable configuration), cross-exchange arbitrage is entirely unsupported. scalpl has no understanding of
the fact
that different markets on different exchanges might involve
the same asset.
adlai: well
that's a bad analogy, cross-exchange arbitrage is entirely possible programmatically, just not yet implemented
trinque: wtf is
this myth where sbcl is slow
adlai: but neither does a lens notice
that a cork slice looks like a grid from close up
adlai: the fact
that usd (and other assorted shitcoins) are
traded across multiple exchanges is merely an additional profit vector for future implementation... lone wolf projects lope one leap at a
time
adlai: how
the hell would you arbitrage
the asset formerly known as S.MPOE, other
than across
time?
adlai: (SBCL, contrary
to popular mythos, is not 'self hosting')
adlai: fwiw, whenever i fantasized about owning a lisp compiler,
the imagined object went one step further
than sbcl, and didn't depend on a C compiler for
the 'kernel', but rather shat ELF objects (or whatever other format) from lisp
adlai thinks out loud: 'crystallising' might be a better metaphor
than 'freezing', since
the purpose isn't only
to reduce code
temperature, but also
to remove impurities as
they emerge
adlai: it's almost "job security"; lets me publish my cake while preventing anybody else from eating it. whether i can eat it
too (ie, debug
this a decade after writing it) remains
to be seen.
adlai: note
that
this code is written with no brains other
than my own in mind
adlai: (the most recent bits aren't pushed yet, but
theyr'e not relevant
to
this bug)
adlai: a) nobody asked you
to debug b) it's not seeeekrit, i "backup" on github
adlai misses
the days of scalping without competition
adlai: you have
to use ssl with all exchanges (except for one, guess which)
adlai: cl+ssl is ffi
to openssl
adlai: well, it is always
throwing ssl packets, so it could also be
that (this is
the aforementioned plus-sized library)
adlai: magical bug inducer = scalpl running against
the usual suspects of shitcoinistan
adlai: either
that, or merely
the socket handling.
adlai: asciilifeform: i suspect
the culprit is
the one CL lib of such quality
that it has a plus in its name
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-17: [00:40:56] <adlai> mircea_popescu: sbcl dies on
too many (for all i know, just
two, in
the precisely bad
timing) ~outgoing~ queries
mircea_popescu: bdb holds
the blockchain and
the wallet ; rpc doesn't much enter into it
ben_vulpes: does
this hold when it's not even listening
to rpc commands?
mircea_popescu: large part of it is berkley db being incredibly slow
to put itself in a sane state.
ben_vulpes: i'm in no rush, happy
to run
the hourglass out.
ben_vulpes: heh i wonder if
the
thing will even listen
to shutdown commands.
adlai: i never got
this when dealing with mpex, but mpex moves slowly enough
that parallel queries weren't a concern
adlai: maybe? i get
this from
too many
talk-to-exchange (and once from
too many
talk-to-freenode, with handrolled irc code
that didn't rate limit...)
adlai: mircea_popescu: sbcl dies on
too many (for all i know, just
two, in
the precisely bad
timing) ~outgoing~ queries
mircea_popescu: adlai :
tell you what, put whatever does
the equivalent of php up, hit it with 10loads/second for half hour and see how hairy a shirt it is.
thestringpuller: LOL. 4 srs
tho. spider-man is a pretty good example. why do you
think sony sunk money into a 2nd spiderman
trilogy (which became a disaster)?
they wanted
to keep
the movie rights.
adlai: call me when
the kids are playing Spiderman Go
thestringpuller: adlai: but royalties are where all
the sweet money is in comics! if a comic, does really well,
the license holders get a cut of pretty much everything spawned from
the franchise.
adlai: the best
thing about
tintin is
that nobody is around
to dilute
the syrup (and no,
the movies don't count)
adlai grew up on
tintin, probably
the reason for his strong inoculation against political correctedness
thestringpuller: cuz really a monthly series should be like an episode of
tv
thestringpuller: this graphic novel mania
the weee-uh-boos set in motion is ridiculous.
adlai: serialization is how most (?) novels were published for ~ever. strikes me as a fairer economic arrangement
than premium+royalties but i'm probably just a clueless outsider
thestringpuller: >:( I get serial comics. I'm subscribed
to 30 something
titles per month atm.
thestringpuller: its funny how
the opiate of
the masses never really changes. it just finds more concentrated forms. :\ depressing.
adlai is still using sbcl,
this only happens every few months of scalping so it's not
too hairy a shirt
adlai: asciilifeform: my primary gripe with sbcl is
that if you do enough network operations in parallel, you hit some race condition, and must restart lisp
to continue webbing.
adlai: from my experience in
two situations not dissimilar from low-security gaol, mircea_popescu is correct about
the staff
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda amused at
the notion
that anyone much gives a shit either way.
mircea_popescu: "2011 FBI report finds “broadening U.S. military presence” responsible for rise in
terror attacks" << hurr. "today we discovered
that if we go attack some people,
they'll attack us right back."
mircea_popescu: (they also know
this ; which is why all
the derpy "murder for hire" and assorted nonsense keeps
trying
to be
tacked on)
mircea_popescu: just as long as you make sure
that a) usg can't get at your wealth and b) you left a network behind you're liable
to find
the prison
term more pleasant
than life at home./
mircea_popescu: in practical
terms, if you'll be going
to prison for limp dick shit, your best move is
to have bitcoin and a wot.
the personnel is poorly paid, greatly infiltrated by gold diggers who correctly intuit
this is
their easiest way
to endear
themselves
to
the sort of people who can
touch real money, however briefly, and generally very supportive. for as long as you got leverage outside you'll be fine.
mircea_popescu: anyway. "don't gamble" is solid advice. gamble works in prison exactly like outside - as
taxation. unless you're running
the joint, gambling is just another way of looking for a boyfriend.
mircea_popescu: not
to mention people who don't ain't reading fucking medium.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski most people who go
to "prison" end up in low and mid security joints.
pete_dushenski: 'Don’t gamble or use drugs' ? how goddam lame is
that.
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
the retiarius' weapons may well make a comeback. drone should be able
to drop weighted net on, say, schoolgirl, neh ?
