Framedragger: mircea_popescu: basically, and that's strictly it - because i couldn'
t intuitively wrap my head around the fact that average number of nodes per specific folder would be _really_ low if depth is say more than 3. still weird in my head, but yeah.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i don'
t get it, you graphed some functions ? or ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: is there such a thing as an indian who isn'
t a total shitbag ?
Framedragger: re. fs nodes, couldn'
t sleep + not sure if this makes sense, so just throwing these out - barebones super simplistic (function is `n_objects_to_store ^ 1 / folder_depth`) plots showing expected average number of nodes per folder (assumptions are no bias in hashspace and also equal share of hash bits per folder level) - it may not be intuitive how low the averages are until you look:
Framedragger: for symlink fs testers (or maybe selfnote for later): note that if you allow for sufficient folder tree depth, the "1000s of symlinks per dir" won'
t realistically happen when storing, say, bitcoin transaction hashes. the latter have 256 bits => 64 hex chars. if you allow for depth of 8 where last level (8) is symlink itself, you get 32 bits per folder level.
diana_coman: needs to reimplement to get out on the other side really (I did NOT dig deep into Blender but I wouldn'
t be surprised if it were terribly bloated at the very least)
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
☝︎ mircea_popescu: we don'
t really understand what we're designing against
a111: Logged on 2016-12-22 06:41 mircea_popescu: this way you don'
t actually have to ~index~ anything, if you wish to see where txn 1234567890 was included in a block, you go to /12/34/56/7890 which points to block x
Framedragger: asciilifeform: on top of 'transactions', postgres has 'checkpoint' parameter. but you probably won'
t like it because of the whole 'not turning off fsync' thing
a111: Logged on 2017-02-26 19:27 mircea_popescu: the other problem is that a good db fix is a very large project, because bitcoin is written insanely. and our fs db isn'
t moving, last i heard a month ago someone was going to try and profile an extx
mircea_popescu: you repeat halfway of the discussion, "here is what i said lalala i can'
t hear anyone"
Framedragger: for a minute i thought (don'
t know why) that what is *additionally* needed is the capability to have paths of /symlinks/to/symlinks/.

mircea_popescu: it was the beginning of the end of the british colonial empire. it crashed, where empires come to day, in that god forsaken asshole of the world where fork-bearing regiments are cut to shreds and don'
t run off on contact. or at all.
trinque: at least there you use the outputs and don'
t run the toolchain all day eh?
trinque: I don'
t see that python or any of its kind have any future
mircea_popescu: trinque no, it has its merits. of course if you're discussing X topic there will be a THE book, also, this isn'
t arguing against that.
ben_vulpes: the other point i didn'
t get to make is that i dont' buy the 'personal failing' line; redundancy uber alles
mircea_popescu: well what other bots ? lobbes ' is older than deedbot iirc. you got 100% of bots made after release, can'
t complain.
mircea_popescu: trinque don'
t worry, alf's been hawking ssh pipes and so far idem.
trinque: politics seeming to be a big driver of the evolution of human intelligence, I don'
t see how someone who says "but no, the arena is not for me" can be said intelligent.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman after all, if the alternative investments weren'
t that, they'd naturally fold right in, becoming logreaders suo modo. in this view the "who are you" question reflects exactly this, "what of your previous investments is actually meaningful ?"
mircea_popescu: "this examination didn'
t come with a scoring sheet!! alert!!! how are we to train for the examination111!!!"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman well, vanity in any light it didn'
t bring from home... does.
diana_coman: works, yes; I don'
t find anything against it
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.
phf: i don'
t think it was a waste from the whole Man of Knowledge perspective. i derived a lot of value building one, which makes me think so did others when they built theirs.
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: and yeah, bring her over, i wanna ask her why she don'
t do teh boob scribbling
mircea_popescu: socially inept males aren'
t born socially inept, nor do they build their ineptitude in a day.
mircea_popescu: not to mention, it wouldn'
t be the first time. you understand this ? most tried things, in a widening fan, a la alf's own nsa attempt.
mircea_popescu: which is the mirror statement of this -- peasants can be kept packing mud in the buff by a round table. 40 knights aren'
t 4, which aren'
t 2 etcetera.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you conflate many things. having the car ready doesn'
t necessitate it being launched early.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is someone who doesn'
t know supposed to choose.
mircea_popescu: in other news in the same vein, the pirate bay doesn'
t seem to have... the story of o.
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to squeeze the world through the eye of a needle because i'm so infatuated with conceptual beauty that i can'
t resist. i can resist jus' fine.
mircea_popescu: so no, there won'
t be any turning of gurls into dudes. maybe the reverse, though it seems the process is kinda lossy.
trinque: they have a particular face, don'
t they
mircea_popescu: but i'm sure this isn'
t in any sense manual ; just a very relevant site. notwithstanding no content and no links. ALGORITHMS!!!
mircea_popescu: apparently topless is perfectly acceptable where bitcoin isn'
t. just as long as letter from department of dorkitude.
mircea_popescu: what, mp will say "japanese -- men ; burmese -- dogs" ? maybe he cares, maybe he doesn'
t. what else you got.
mircea_popescu: now... wouldn'
t you wish to be their sultan ? because perhaps you've not read enough levy strauss & co to know about the function of the scapegoat in primitive societies. they certainly wouldn'
t mind BELIEVING that you do have infinite wealth. because they need someone for that role. and have. for a long time.
mircea_popescu: so the satrap of fuckistan got paid a gold coin and a golden caftan worth anothjer gold coin, and counted himself happy. whereas the daymio's men couldn'
t be paid anything upon the kamikaze, and so the4y rebelled.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 15:02 phf: unless you're an mp, you don'
t have a choice to tell fuck you to local fauna, and the whole "i can pay whatever" only plays it out well in shitty miami based tv shows

☟︎ phf: if you have a line of sight from your property to a direct satellite tower, you can get the owner to put an antena up for you, for sure. that doesn'
t require special licenses anywhere. of course putting up a mast on your site most likely requires government license and that's where you're going to get the bulk of rapage
phf: i don'
t think you can pay with money for the later
phf: cheap, and wot dependent. i can'
t figure out what the market forces are like, or possibly everything's really cheap, so there's no bottom.
mod6: <+trinque>
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-02-05#1008972 << mod6, is that why this patch did not make it in? << i don'
t think it was because of any such wedge. i think we held off because it was proposed that there might have been a better way to handle that through configuration files. it's all in the logs if you look in around the time that email was sent; december of '14.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: alternatively random guy clicked a link, hasn'
t even noticed the tab among the symphony of tabs on his ie.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t see why it's such a big deal, i included all sorts of strange in the logs, what of it ?
trinque: I guess it wouldn'
t be the only "serious" gay men's club on earth.
trinque: no one can seriously claim the guy wearing steampunk goggles and going to conferences isn'
t LARPing in the grand american tradition of pretense to existing
trinque: couldn'
t find the log, but the other day mircea_popescu discussed that some pedo case's dismissal had very much to do with that the guy refused to LARP with them re: their importance.
mircea_popescu: the only difference between slavegirl in my household and usg employee is that a) i whip mine and b) after a while they are sensibly better at everything. the usg drones don'
t get whipped and don'
t improve.
trinque: it may sadden those that don'
t yet know that open firmware was a dead simple forth nugget. i.e. in the sense that apple for a brief time meant dead simple.
trinque: no lets get rid of openfirmware; it doesn'
t x, y, and ...
Framedragger: isn'
t internet backbone basically juniper + cisco still? :(
davout: i really don'
t feel strongly about this, just thinking out loud
trinque: isn'
t in a block; may *never* be in a block
mircea_popescu: meh. wallet doesn'
t NOT store the chain. it's just stock trb.
