davout: mircea_popescu: i agree that the description made in the convo you linked is a very desirable target architecture

asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_4849711.html << lel they have in-house irc
a111: Logged on 2017-01-03 20:42 mircea_popescu: this scheme among other things cheaply allows the "add arbitrary new address to wallet", just have utility that (separately) processes B.B and produces new set of B.T.
asciilifeform: davout: the '~2gb tops' may (or may not) be true currently, but it is a fundamentally unbounded quantity. as discussed in 2 very recent threads with mircea_popescu re 'proton decay' and ultimate lifespan of bitcoin
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 22:40 mircea_popescu: curious how davout 's work on splitting function is coming along btw
davout: mircea_popescu: howso ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-07 14:25 mircea_popescu: davout this links into which part of the conversation ?
BingoBoingo: If no one else writes /me will, but mostly offering mircea_popescu and asciilifeform, S.NSA partners well earned "dibs" if they want them
asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_14588652.html << more in re mircea_popescu's psychiatric observations
asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_14588809.html << 'how nsa fucked'

asciilifeform: also apparently mircea_popescu was right about the staffing problems, https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_23134361.html
asciilifeform: ffs i have 2 hands mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when 'p' is released, it can be put to use in eulora and elsewhere
deedbot: dm0n_ voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: !!up dm0n_
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in unrelatedia, http://68.media.tumblr.com/529fb21895244fab6e7763a774ed1112/tumblr_ol1q68r2hT1vjt0k0o1_400.gif
asciilifeform: but on mircea_popescu's planet, more wondrous wonders than this, are known.
asciilifeform grudgingly discovers that he does not disagree with mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: ( incidentally mircea_popescu might be surprised how much 'hand cnc' is still involved in cnc practice )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the sicp film was ~watchable, but it is ancient, 1980s, and not even filmed at mit iirc (sussman taught the class for hp employees)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is an ancient song re subj, 'бабушка здорова...кушает компот...и мечтает снова...пережить налёт' ( http://www.kbelyaev.ru/txt/babuchka.htm )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this in re waht
mircea_popescu: in your flat scheme, the words "Trilema - a blog by mircea_popescu " would appear... 72k times!
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: that's not the only difference. a 'php' site launches and runs additional process(es) to serve user requests. now i guess you could say that "it's just a detail", on the grand picture it's the same (nginx requires additional resources to serve static files), but that would be stretching it.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i see what you mean, but you can't really call it 'static' by any metric. in point of fact i'm surprised you're not grossed out over the fact that the whole thing is a large stinking pile of dynamic php. i guess the counterargument is that it *gets the job done*, very well, over many years. :) so there's that. but i'd like to ditch the 'wp' from 'mp-wp' one day. but maybe baby steps.
shinohai waves back, thanks mircea_popescu for his motivations over the years.
shinohai: If it wasn't for mircea_popescu and you constantly reminding me, I probably would never have started Qntra.
Framedragger: what i _would_ like is to be able to have these kinds of comments in an otherwise static site (the comment box would be the dynamic component, so to speak - an autonomous backend module/script/whatever). not a part of a large ugly php blob.
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: yes, but it requires a dynamic component on the backend, right?

Framedragger: lobbes: any plan re. comments? curious if you have something without JS in mind. :) (this also answers (with quite a latency) mp's query http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-27#1608913 - there's no viable solution *without captcha _and_ without JS*.) ☝︎

Reuel: mircea_popescu, I have 2 items I want to return on eulora, are you on
a111: Logged on 2017-01-29 17:48 mircea_popescu: go do hdd profiling on large symlink load, very useful.
Reuel: mircea_popescu, I would love to do the experiment you talked about -> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-29#1609441 ☝︎
asciilifeform: citizen is easier, rather than harder, to hunt, various orgs that do business in usa are coaxed into proactively keeping tabs on'em; this was covered iirc in a few old mircea_popescu pieces re bank
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: siempre

pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03247/assets_3247927b.jpg
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: simply the (perhaps obvious to log readers) point that diversification isn't a panacea particularly in the manner used by 'advisors', which is to say, within sectors and within asset classes rather than between them
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski missed vanguard takeover of the world? ria's successfully still hawk high load funds in the northeast?
asciilifeform: but iirc there was indeed a thread, where mircea_popescu suggested multiple log streams, that can be separated or combined as necessary
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it asked, and asked, and asked, as far as i can tell, a great many peers
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they buy 1 thing -- a guaranteed avoidance of the situation of mircea_popescu's node
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: absolutely ~everything~ has finite lifespan.
asciilifeform: where you avoid the situation from mircea_popescu's old essay where 'in broken market, you give a bag of maybe-money in return for a bag of perhaps-potatoes' and everybody goes home to learn how cheated he was
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you didn't miss, there is no such thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i have nfi how many
asciilifeform: incidentally, ben_vulpes , if mircea_popescu had ANY kind of reasonable log rotation in his node -- i would have had nothing to work with !
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: what's that do
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as is screamingly obvious from the earlier thread with mircea_popescu -- the debug log is terrifyingly inadequate for ~any serious work
asciilifeform: congrats to ben_vulpes , the first d00d to request , and be issued, a wire to dulap.
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu your node spent ages trying to ~get hold of~ 419221. not to digest it.
asciilifeform: http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/wtf/1000000_since_419373.txt
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there are 1955176872 lines of debug.log between block 419220 and 419221
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here, have some lulz:
asciilifeform: phf: most of today is re mircea_popescu showed a trb node that's been wedged, in a peculiar way, since july. but the l0g will still be there later.
phf: http://68.media.tumblr.com/01a7c7c27d6ad3208d14a9ea66e9321f/tumblr_om7b58YWTw1uu4f9zo1_500.jpg
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-03#1621563 << i believe it's because it's called asciilifeform_and_now_we_have_block_dumper_corrected. (http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=stable&search=dump) ☝︎
asciilifeform: lessee if mircea_popescu's l0g is consistent with above
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: meanwhile i solved it with anal telekinesis !!111
asciilifeform: though mircea_popescu's wedge is preventable, what trb really ought to do is start sending http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1735 to all peers, starting with any 'wires' if present, whenever it goes for >1hr without a new block
asciilifeform: this is also why mircea_popescu rebooting the node, will almost guarantee to bring it to life
asciilifeform: btw i am now nearly certain re what happened to mircea_popescu's box
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu et al , is it obvious how http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=makefiles#1364 works ? or do i need to explain
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not necessarily, orphanage may or may not have unwedged it, as it discards old orphans when new appear.
asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu , as you can probably tell, if node misses the window when $block was being actively thrown at it, then it has only these two knobs for attempting to get it ☟︎
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ill complain to mod6 also. << im about 18 hours behind on the log, will catch up and will revisit tomorrow.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you have not yet switched the box off -- what does getinfo return ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you might recall that trb does not attempt to decode tx scripts (yes) when verifying block
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: grep -A 10000 "received block 00000000000000000136" mp_log.txt plox ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes aha!
asciilifeform: sooo somewhere in mircea_popescu's log, there'll be a getinv for 0000000000000000036, the prev block, then for this final one, 0000000000000000038 (complain to tardoshi re the procrusted hashes, not to me..) ,
asciilifeform: ( i lean to the latter hypothesis , it is a thing that regularly happened - admittedly not to the extent seen in mircea_popescu's specimen -- among my nodes, and was why i could no longer put off the 'wires' thing )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if not mega-seekrit, did this node peer with well-known trb nodes (e.g., mine ) ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can you get the log inclusive of the last ACCEPT (case-sensitive) and all lines after ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 1 more thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: anything peculiar re that box, say, disk full ?
asciilifeform: because the last block in mircea_popescu's blk0036 is a main-chain block
asciilifeform: aalso mircea_popescu looks like your node wedged in ... july ?! 2016
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: can you find this block in mimisbrunnr ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: no, think about it, blockchain is a tree, but the turdfile is a linear tape
asciilifeform: if ben_vulpes's parser worx -- then yes

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a block doesn't get to sit down in blk**** in trb unless its antecedents are present.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: nice.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: ty, fixed
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes now.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it blkcut's great. and you should get http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/wtf/mp_blk0036.txt checksums.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol it isn't as if i had 'go and do it or voodoo curse!1!'

asciilifeform: why not ben_vulpes blkcut mircea_popescu's 0036
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: we have just such blocks
