mircea_popescu: "oh, but does it help ?" "i guess..." "WELL THEN!111"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i deal in boards that spontaneously turn into radioactive weevils.
mircea_popescu: whereas what a doctor, or a lawyer do, independent professions and in no sense either labour or skilled, is to give you THEIR OPINIONS
jurov: trinque i'm used to limiting at ingress not egress. but i prolly disgress.
mircea_popescu: skilled labour is hwat a carpenter does. he has 7 tools and 3 types of wood, and an absolute guarantee that his fucking board isn't going to spontaneously turn to marmalade.
asciilifeform: repetitive, trainable elbow movements is the other hind.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not in the slightest.
asciilifeform: welcome to planet 3.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the situation you described is called 'skilled labour' and it is how i eat.
mircea_popescu: i happen to know what that is. ircd will just dump the highest latency users if it gets full.
asciilifeform: trinque: tcpdump plox.
trinque: jurov: you asked if there were limits !!!111!!
asciilifeform: trinque: the fella on the left hand side is you, i recall. right hand - i think might be mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: but no, in bitcoin it's "and if the clown car on the left comes unglued call this number and if the bla bla 5000 entries long"
jurov: trinque i was mistaken, wget does timestamping, so all should be swell... but srs 50kB/s? you serve deedbot over ADSL?
mircea_popescu: do you understand how normal work works among humans ? bob has a widget factory, which needs a widgeteer, which is a job composed of 5 movements and 3 reaches, so he goes to the corner where kids loiter and goes "you there! do like this with your elbow! good. now read this list and apply it. every day."
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu taught us that odin will smite those who hire hirelings
mircea_popescu: a nothing! i can't as much as have someone to clean the fucking floors.
mircea_popescu: except for the steel breastplate and geiger counter.
mircea_popescu: if banks ran like this the average teller would look like a fucking safari hunter,
mircea_popescu: and EVEN THEN everyone must have access to the fucking top of the hierarchy because it is a GIVEN that everyone will encounter fundamental problems on a monthly basis.
mircea_popescu: but on the other hand - i can't fucking hire people for the love of everfuck. there is no such thing as a lowly bank clerk in bitcoin. everyone must be at above-phd level of tech awareness - yea, i know that doesn't cut it to be in b-a, fine, fuck you all, there are STILL 100k phds spewed out the world over who think themselves as they add to the pool of millions floating around that they are pdh-level! -
mircea_popescu: part of the fucking problem, this
mircea_popescu: nothing can be reliably attributed to anything
asciilifeform: out of curiosity, what failures has mircea_popescu observed that can be reliably attributed to shit hardware ?
mircea_popescu: a collection of rotten hardware running dubios kernels with ball of shit visual studio-level bitcoin implementation, expected to somehow do things.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin, the tower of shit.
asciilifeform: which tower of shit ?
mircea_popescu: i was thinking tower of shit problem, but yes.
asciilifeform: the failure rate is, elementarily, a queue thing
mircea_popescu: yes. "do X thing".
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 18:29:11; punkman: jurov: translation?
ben_vulpes: i'd like to see that list!
mircea_popescu: i know it sounds ridiculous, but however it may sound, it is the fucking truth.
mircea_popescu: my list is in the thousands and i am still regularly blindsided.
mircea_popescu: in truth the failure modes for discrete production processes on the bitcoin network are currently still innumerable.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tx tends to be slow nowadays due to crapolade flood
punkman: jurov: translation? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: aaaand we're losing txn again.
mircea_popescu: lol what's with this trend of rewriting trilema poorly among the yuppy class ?

deedbot-: [serialized delusions] F.MPIF 2015 trading statements - http://explo.yt/post/2016/03/01/F.MPIF-2015-trading-statements
mircea_popescu: which is about as nice as all the derpage post-snowden.
mircea_popescu: but what i personally take home from the whole "o noes, branded bugs nao" thing is that hearbleed REALLY hurt.
asciilifeform looks forward to pounding in the 'g' knife into the ssl idiocy
asciilifeform: notice how every time the 'branded' bug burn ends with 'and now you must install openssl x.y.n+1 ' ???
trinque: heh someday it is then
trinque: I don't mind getting ya rsync, will have to be this evening
trinque: jurov: only html is the index
jurov: trinque actually, upon reading wget man, it will clobber html files because it always reads only the added range regardless of date headers :(
assbot: CacheBleed: A Timing Attack on OpenSSL Constant Time RSA ... ( http://bit.ly/1VOQ9sc )
asciilifeform: all i know is that she's 'house slave' and i'm 'field nigger.'
mircea_popescu: because yes, socialist notion of belonging is always built on some version of "plox to believe there is technology of prayer"
asciilifeform: (do they have modern turbine yet in tibet, to turn prayer mill?)
mircea_popescu: i am clearly not a any one thing, but instead "rootless cosmopolitan"
asciilifeform: or tibetan.
mircea_popescu: there is no technology of prayer!
asciilifeform: possibly she sucked the right pud ?
mircea_popescu: whether you are or aren't : the notion that what nadia heninger did is in any way related to what nadia heninger "got" is the core and the root of cargo cultism.
asciilifeform: and in fact i'm in a fish store, in the bait tank.
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you.
asciilifeform: hey, i'm also a fish, but in smaller tank with cruddier food and more cat.
mircea_popescu: obvious is what stuff is that sits at the root of the tree of things and denies certain branches of thought
asciilifeform: this much is obvious though.
mircea_popescu: and once i fucking croak, they'll get a cat's paw magazine.
mircea_popescu: if i feed the fish in my tank, it does not follow that the tankfish "got" food.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the notion that nadia heninger "got" a phd and "got" a cushy sinecure, in the sense of got that you employ when you say b-a got x done is ludicrous!
assbot: Logged on 18-05-2015 19:48:18; ascii_field: 'It doesn't work when Nadia Heninger goes to sell Phuctor before Stanford - Nadia Heninger doesn't own Phuctor, and the actual owners are very much present and very much capable to bitchslap her into oblivion.' << actually, 'crime pays.' chick gets a phd and cushy sinecure, etc.
asciilifeform: i thought this was old ?
asciilifeform: '...a new form of cross-protocol Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack. It allows an attacker to decrypt intercepted TLS connections by making specially crafted connections to an SSLv2 server that uses the same private key.' << l0l
asciilifeform: shiva was originally part of an attempt to write a debugger to shine some light at this crud
asciilifeform: (prior to it entering a block)
asciilifeform: there are also lesser blackholes, from the tx-ddos-crapola itself being received and verified
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 08:52:51; ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395250 << asciilifeform what was the actual trigger for the blackhole? requesting a specific transaction?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-03-2016#1418801 << 9 times out of 10, it is simply that a new block appears, and has tx-dddos-crapola ☝︎
trinque: kurrency kontrolz for the 21st century!
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 14:04:10; assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 09:02:12; ben_vulpes: there's only so much damage the little fuckling can do in 485 ft2
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-03-2016#1419040 << woah this is only slightly larger than my old 'nazi submarine' ☝︎
trinque: whether they intentionally sink the USD to try to push people onto a USGCoin, who knows.
asciilifeform: (what, it costs usg to print more 0s after decimal point ?)
trinque: Anduck: learn from the above !!!1111!! ^
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 14:18:16; mircea_popescu: then i went into them financially and they actually burned a few millions propping it up, and that pretty much brings us to the present day.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-03-2016#1419128 << i won't be surprised if a few trillions end up sunk into propping it up ☝︎
jurov: may not work if you ever shrink files, but doubt that ever happens
jurov: trinque , yes "HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do."
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 14:43:25; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-03-2016#1418901 <<< i was certainly never in a bed with a woman and her 80 lb "lovedog" before, whatever that may mean.
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 15:10:48; mircea_popescu: lol. brace yourself, that's also coming.
trinque: yeah, they're pretty big
jurov: huh but these are logs indeed
trinque: I have the logs in there for example
trinque: jurov: please do not write a naive scraper that runs often :p
jurov: omg there are 110M deeds?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, joined #freenode typed out the above turns out i had no voice. shrugged an' left.
