ascii_field: the question is simply 'how long do
the bits stay flipped'
ascii_field: BingoBoingo:
the decay in question is charge dissipation, rather
than whole-chip fail
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Unless we move
to PDP-11 and don't solve
this Bitcoin
thing in 20 years we will be out of machines.
ascii_field: found
the
thread while looking for anything like actual longevity data on EPROMs
ascii_field: 'I
think it's unlikely
that it will be possible
to keep any electronic equipment manufactured after
the mid-1990s operating for more
than 25-50 years, in part due
to
the floating gate problem (even in places you don't expect it, because *many* chips now contain flash memory even if you don't know about it)... ...50 years from now we'll probably still have a working PDP-1, but sadly not
too many working HP-35 calculators.'
BingoBoingo waits for pete_dushenski
to
take Junkers Ju 88 out of cosmoline
ascii_field: placed on it
to inform me of said
tampering.'
ascii_field: department. It had actually been opened and resealed and
the green label
ascii_field: packaging
that claimed it had been inspected by some U.S.A. customs
ascii_field: 'My OpenBSD 5.7 CD arrived with a green label affixed
to
the shipping

the ~reasonable~
thing would be
to NUKE
the whole sync-from-one-at-a-time idiocy
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ergo we can conclude
that radar detector makers ~deliberately~ sell sabotaged product. << "planned obselecence" at least VASCAR is nekkid eye detectable
ascii_field: because of
the sheer extent of
the retardation of
the sync mechanism as originally written
ascii_field: when your node is young, MOST of
the blocks you get from ANYBODY are 'bastard'
ascii_field: the ~reasonable~
thing would be
to NUKE
the whole sync-from-one-at-a-time idiocy
☟︎ trinque: would it be reasonable
to disconnect after some number of bastard blocks?
trinque: blocks/txns would not be originating inside wotnet for some
time, correct?
ascii_field: cannot be considered a reliable
thing in any sense
ascii_field: trinque: a connection of
the civilized world
to
the heathen world is necessarily a fortified outpost run by enthusiasts
trinque: ascii_field: we discussed
this as well; even assuming a
trusted gossipd net,
there'd still be connections out
to
the unwashed nether world
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: 'bastard block' is a subjective
thing - it simply means
that ~you~ in particular cannot find
the antecedent for it
ben_vulpes: the question i bounced into #b-a is when it's acceptable for another node
to relay a bastard block
ascii_field: trinque: i will say
that we can't even begin
to consider 'bad nodes' because nodes
today HAVE NO IDENTITY
trinque: looks like
the existing node scoring mechanism is a
turd
☟︎ ben_vulpes: okay so a lighter gas would be more likely
to float up and mix with ambient o2 and ignite?
trinque: I've been discussing
the problem of rejecting bad nodes (or having an affinity for nodes serving up good blocks/txns?) with ben_vulpes. ascii_field or mod6, perhaps you want
to say something on
the subj.
ascii_field: (flash point; how likely it is
to end up near a spark; how reacts)
ben_vulpes labors under an american ME education - "just enough
to be useful"
ben_vulpes: more carbons and hydrogens in
the propane, ergo more flammable right?
☟︎ ben_vulpes: is ethylene
that much more flammable
than, say, propane or 'natural' gas?
ascii_field: used for
transporting fruit, american-style
ascii_field: 'The Coast Guard said
the fire occurred as
the ship was loading a cargo of liquid ethylene.'

jurov: i don't see any mention of rebinding stuff even
there
mircea_popescu: oh but allow me
to ftfy : * jurov found himself studying c++ <insert
topic> ... an unexpectedly nasty corner of c++ << said everyone ever.
mircea_popescu: im
tellin' ya, bb is getting markedly better at qntra.
mircea_popescu: "Worse for

that doesn't centrally plan famine."
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> ;;isup
trilema.com << yeah not reachable atm.

they've been launching and prelaunching
thios for over a year by now.

☟︎ jurov: which can be fixed nicely, but has
to wait day or
two for definitive result
jurov: but atm i explore
the idea
that problem is not
the frag, but mixing persistent objects (CBlockIndex) and
the mempool
jurov: asciilifeform:
thanks, custom allocators are surely an option

though. Instagram is broken.

Bingoboingo: I am fortunate
that Saturn plastic sedan really doesn't make such
things necessary. Sure it does fine at freeway speeds, but nothing really beyond
that. Also clean gray family sedan usually doesn't get much attention anyways.
punkman: "many early "stealth" radar detectors were equipped with a radar-detector-detector-detector circuit, which shuts down
the main radar receiver when

☟︎ punkman: "€2000 fine, 30 day driver's license suspension, 60 days car registration license suspension and 5 SESO penalty points" <<
they really don't like radar detectors around here
Bingoboingo: The good old
tylenol/benadryl combo can be layered on
top of everything else as well.
Bingoboingo: Yeah, and you can use a lot more NSAID
topically
than you can orally.
punkman: that'd be an even better distraction
though
Bingoboingo: Just don't
touch your dick until yours hands are clean.
Bingoboingo: Not going
to magically repair
the strain, but can cover
the pain.
punkman: waiting for pharmacy
to open
to get some
topical nsaid gel
punkman: tried yesterday for first
time, was an ok distraction for a while
Bingoboingo: Could work well. Would work better if you can find such a linament with an NSAID drug like salicyclate or naproxen in it. Or use
two linaments.
punkman: fun fact, "philipinesa" is a generic
term for maid/cleaner in greek
punkman: I don't know anyone from
the philippines
tho
punkman: white: is punkman around? << next
time
tell him
there's a log and he can
type
things for me
to read later
punkman: oh man
this shoulder/neck strain makes me want
to murder puppies
ben_vulpes: aye Bingoboingo i'll not shit on
the coffee at bill's house
Bingoboingo: Usually when I see
the cans it's Folgers or similar, brewed
to extreme strength of caffeine.
