phf: trinque: i think that the timing is just overlapping, i'll have to grep for you wget's specifically, but the day is basically an endless stream of /log/2016-05-22&docid=nDn56WVkvV-86M&tbnid=wQqrCY5i08s2qM:&w=245&h=244&hl=en-US&source=sh/x/im and /log/?date=01-05-2014%27%20or%20(1,2)=(select*from(select%20name_const(CHAR(111,108,111,108,111,115,104,101,114),1),name_const(CHAR(111,108,111,108,111,115,104,101,114),1))a)%20--%20%27x%27=%27x
shinohai waves to phf, hopes he enjoyed vacation.
trinque: that actually ended up bringing the bot back, then was bouncing on/off, so I slowed the crawl
trinque: after it went away for a while I did a wget -R on the www as a backup, hoping the www wouldn't also disappear.
phf: i'm sorry for failing, whoever put this nailgun in my bed, congratulations. there were no similar spikes in the past, and the attack happened precisely on the day i left for vacation, which was publicly known. given the swift and strong reaction i'm not quiet sure i'm even welcome on the channel anymore, which sucks.
phf: attempted to connect for the duration of attack, which in turn timed out for the rest of the day. i'm not sure how i could've mitigated this attack, short of running bot and web on separate machines, with bot's ip hidden.
phf: hmm, just returned into civilization. so before leaving for my vacation i replaced the bot with trinque's reconnecting version, i haven't touched the server since, so obviously reconnecting worked. for 29th specifically i see a flooding spike of bogus http request, which presumably saturated the digitalocean connection, because ping/pongs were still going through, until only pings were being sent, until bot would timed out. then it
mircea_popescu: incredible example of "smarts don't help the castrated"
trinque will have to watch.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : one of their latest episodes was sheer genius. they completely deconstructed the sjw + advertising bullshit. and their conclusion ? you know what it was ? WE WILL HAVE TO DO A BETTER SJW!!!!
trinque: nobody said this once.
asciilifeform: i have nfi, trinque , but 'read and understood the complete c stack' is a proposition on the scale of 'built undersea cities and no one noticed.'
asciilifeform: trinque: their bureaucrats sit on winblows. just like in ru or usa. or were you thinking of 'meta-china' hidden beneath the sea somewhere..?
asciilifeform: and the might of the asian anthill ?
trinque: the claim that china cannot do anything involving what's currently understood as "computing" is not nearly the same one as "can create asciilifeform's personally designed diamondputer"
mircea_popescu: you know, some little girls actually enjoy the penis.
asciilifeform: and if you have not read and understood every single page on it, you are unfit to even contemplate subj.
asciilifeform: afaik the ~only~ such www
asciilifeform: at any rate i have entire www devoted to subj.
trinque invents the universe
asciilifeform: or show me all of the overflows in linux kernel, and mathematically demonstrate that there are no others.
asciilifeform: trinque: if you disagree, you are welcome to demonstrate to me how , e.g., openssl 5.2 produced the recently broken keys
mircea_popescu: i can't think of one historical example where they did.
trinque: asciilifeform: I do not claim to know, but hesitate to say the major industrial powerhouse of earth lacks understanding of what it does.
mod6: ah, mircea_popescu, maybe i'm wrong then; in that sense of "models"
mircea_popescu: whether they find a real root in between these or not is up in the air.
asciilifeform: trinque: crib the goods, crib the bugs and boobietraps.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's evident that the cray which the us used (ie, max centralization) doesn't work for this. arguably it didn't even work for the us, in 1950. it's vaguely clear that per-rocket chips as currently used (ie, max decentralization) also doesn't work - for obvious computational reasons.
trinque: that thread too was "already had"
asciilifeform: again who the fuck needs a rustbucket that costs a dollar per metre to move??!
shinohai: " Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later. " <<< perhaps theymos should reconsider taking you ad revenue in order to buy functioning servers.
mircea_popescu: trinque i discussed all sorts of things ; including "buy a boat" about a month before the world was "shocked" by a certain bankruptcy. not that anyone notices, to my eternal amusement.
trinque: mircea_popescu: iirc you discussed this area denial strategy a year or two ago
asciilifeform: typical asian tunnel vision.
asciilifeform: i will point out that if their solution involves c machine, that's five wasted trillion.
mircea_popescu: this is a project roughly of the style that created the us bomber command after ww2 victory.
mircea_popescu: that they want to pilot ten billion rockets in flight over their geosphere.
mircea_popescu: trinque the big state secret here, and the problem the chinese are spedning about five trillion over twenty years to solve is
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> anyway. point being the situation's windy rather than calm. << agreed.
asciilifeform: is elbrus 'also there' ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. point being the situation's windy rather than calm.
trinque: loongson is there if usg.intel fails
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the license-built arm?
mircea_popescu: it's just that little meaningful can be said about any of them. and im sure not a complete lsit.
mircea_popescu: mod6 they actually have multiple discernible alt models. one we even discussed in logs, ifyou recall. alf, much in character, hated it etc.
mod6: i very much doubt this is their long term strategy.
asciilifeform: mod6: they love wintel.
mod6: they just need to stab "wintel"
mod6: well, they probably don't need a new model of computation.
mircea_popescu: the macro problems is that it's not altogether clear which side of what will end up facing where.
asciilifeform: there is also the fact that making wholly new arch , on new model of computation, is lunacy, of the precise kind that no respectable confucian would contemplate.
mircea_popescu: what the ru understand, leaks. what not, not.
asciilifeform: it is as hidebound as ru in that respect.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty impossible to make predictions of the scale required here.
asciilifeform: i came to this conclusion years ago. the hard way.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the thing here, which of course isn't visible from english, because anglopress is made by niggers and retards, and so forth :
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: without ability to make hardware, we have exercise in polishing brass on the titanic.
mircea_popescu: BECAUSE in another three years we'll have to redo it.
mircea_popescu: even if i could spend a million engineer hours a second, brought from another galaxy, i would not commit them to making me a sane compiler+kernel by friday.
trinque: asciilifeform: lemme restate that the "stuckness by sheer mass, age, etc" of gcc brings to mind a giant's dead body that, before it decomposes, maybe serves as shelter or warmth
mircea_popescu: but the worst part about all this, and the true reason i'm inert on the topic, is this : the situation is evidently unhinged, and changing much faster than the sort of process which is involved in making a software stack, compiler kernel et all.
asciilifeform: all else has c in the mix.
mircea_popescu: or maybe who the fuck knows.
mod6: This sort of leads us back to the original question: to Ada, or not to Ada.
trinque: very much this.
mircea_popescu: but in this sense, merely writing c code is the sin ; compiling it in the nazi flavour of socialism or in the soviet flavour of socialism, llvm vs gcc, is sort-of like, what flowers to leave on the raped body, roses or tulips.
asciilifeform: and so, the only remaining pill is ~age~
asciilifeform: but i am speaking of fundamental problem with the language.
mircea_popescu: for a definition of "works" you'd accept today
mircea_popescu: the problem here (as well as above, with llvm) is that without the strongarm to kill sipa / force obedience from hardware vendors etc, you will never be able to make a compiler that works
asciilifeform: do you own a copy of the standard? obtain one and see.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-05 20:28 mod6: not that I'm saying "i'm going to write a tmsr compiler this year."; however, seeing the need for this years ago, having one written by us that we can trust, is a worthwhile project. i've taken steps in this direction by doing some very much required reading on the subject.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-05#1534602 << i am not convinced that this is possible. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and tits stay seen.
mircea_popescu: it never happened for it to reach 0 ; nor ever will.
mircea_popescu: observe that even whores manage to extract > 0.
asciilifeform: trinque: the market value of programmer was doomed to zero.
trinque: and in this, GNUshit is an ally of Microshit
trinque: it may very well have reduced the market price of building software to *below* what could sustain actual software companies
asciilifeform: it was, and remains, the only escape hatch from microshit.
asciilifeform: trinque: but that's idiotic.
trinque: asciilifeform: I could as easily say this whole "free software" thing ruined the industry and start from *there*
asciilifeform: the last thread had a quite complete summary of the history.
mod6: help africa, give them fb!
asciilifeform: work on llvm helps hitler more than it helps us.
asciilifeform: we had the thread.
mircea_popescu: evil is not actually a theological category.
trinque: I would go to church if I wanted to make decisions based on that kind of argument.
mircea_popescu: how does work rest on the compiler ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform his idea is that any software is made of discrete software-states, and if he doesn't like something definite later on he just freezes and forks.
asciilifeform: llvm is a work of evil and i will actively avoid any project that rests on it.
asciilifeform: understand the difference.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-05 20:21 trinque: seems technically excellent and the only criticism has been "apple made it" of which, nazis made this and that modern medicine, what
mircea_popescu: and it cost them their head, pretty much
a111: Logged on 2016-09-05 20:27 trinque: to ben_vulpes link, it does not diminish my regard for openbsd that it is moving towards llvm. considering solely the political aspect, they've previously used their own old (and maintained) fork of gcc.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-05#1534601 << freebsd did same, and at the same time removed ~all~ entropy from rng. and distributed this crock of shit for year+. ☝︎
trinque: I would not be surprised if they forked llvm if they ever needed.
mod6: not that I'm saying "i'm going to write a tmsr compiler this year."; however, seeing the need for this years ago, having one written by us that we can trust, is a worthwhile project. i've taken steps in this direction by doing some very much required reading on the subject. ☟︎

mod6: but better the devil you know...
