ascii_field: as soon as i type out a symbol, it ought to be in the completion list
ascii_field: and that what we have now makes the same amount of sense as having a separate gas and brake pedal for each of 4 wheels in a car.
BingoBoingo: Is there no social movement in Syria that isn't as scary as fuck https://archive.is/KXD0f
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: i have *just* (as in the past week) located my wot's signal analyzer
ascii_field: (as per manual)
trinque: ascii_field: it has; in this case reconnected as deedbot-- but could not auth
mircea_popescu: to put this morning's set of realisations in a simple, clear package : making a battleship is nowhere near as good as making a battleship out of ustard decapitated heads.
ascii_field: but 'handful of servers' is what we have today, and it falls over when enemy so much as sneezes at it.
mircea_popescu: have an underlying markov process as carrier wave
mircea_popescu: in other news, diesel pistons as polluting as ever. http://49.media.tumblr.com/a0d7249e48b455d6af09323b2d9eeb98/tumblr_muknkrTvSC1rh0ujqo1_500.gif
mircea_popescu: as long as she sucks the cock and you buy her food, who the fuck cares what you call it.
mircea_popescu: trying to sell "shares" in their "future". as if.
mircea_popescu: the only problem with this "abundance perspective" being thgat the measure often is something as retarded as "how large the grease spot on the paper is"
pete_dushenski: "New York is by no means Mafia-free. But the mob isn’t what it once was, enfeebled by decades of police crackdowns, media attention and old age. The Mafia has been relegated largely to the realm of entertainment, just as Manhattan’s Italian culture has become a tourist attraction."
pete_dushenski: "Michael Norton, a psychologist at the Harvard Business School, has found that on average, whites now view discrimination against members of their own race as a larger problem than discrimination against blacks."
adlai has only heard about it secondhand as a complaint, so b&hammers are likely on their way already
mircea_popescu: if they're going to make show you up x hours early because security theatre, might as well spend them wasting their time.
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 21:59:28; ascii_field: not going to rest until every non-German human had been wiped from the face of the Earth.] The leftist rewriting of this conflict seems as kooky as the bizarre neo-Nazi revisions I read in my youth, but is more troubling, because, where the right wing kooks who wanted to paint humanity’s largest killing with a bizarrely fantastical brush of Germanic innocence were rightly ignored, the lefties are find
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 21:24:54; mod6: This is a clean break point to start working on the rest of these large pieces such as the mempool.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-11-2015#1333245 << this then doubles as both a dos avenue (your upstream router can say packets come from any ips it wishes to say they came from) and a dos avenue (the wot member in question will no longer be able to connect now) ☝︎
ascii_field: r way onto the mainstream book list. 3. Neo-conservative books promoting the U.S. as the world’s SWAT team.' << aha

ascii_field: '1. Books ghost written for a Fox news Op-ed figure, 2. Jingoistic tomes on the defeat of the evil Nazi empire by “the greatest generation” of Americans, revealing as yet unfathomed Nazi evils and under-appreciated American heroics. [WWII is no longer, apparently recognized as having had a Russian or Japanese component, and the Third Reich is represented as an engine of global extermination that was
ascii_field: at no point must a gossip packet's apparent source ip be treated as meaningful.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-11-2015#1333236 << if you use tcp or any other protocol where an enemy gets to hog so much as a byte of ram JUST FOR SHOWING UP, you're ddosable ☝︎
mod6: This is a clean break point to start working on the rest of these large pieces such as the mempool. ☟︎
mod6: then get these tasks written up and broken down if possible as a road map for '16.
jurov: ben_vulpes: why? and bitcoin sends 0.0.0.0 or localhost as "own address" anyway
danielpbarron: from the yoga cancelled thing >> Ms. Scharf offered to rebrand the class as "mindful stretching," but student leaders did not think that was enough.
mircea_popescu: as judged by the open market.
mircea_popescu: as it is, it's free marketing for "21co"'s next potato.
mircea_popescu: if only we had a cardano ready to ship so this discussion could double as marketing for the s.nsa next product.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field quote as to "opened my eyes", i know where the concrete hole is from
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-11-2015#1333095 << but recently mircea_popescu opened my eyes and i learned that my desire to spend life investigating crypto and proving mathematical facts is entirely same as wanting to play 'birds' ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: not as far as this mechanism is concerned.
mircea_popescu: but a firm guarantee can be offered that for as long as you allocate structs smaller than n, you wioll be able to fit them.
mircea_popescu: actually, i suppose i should go into detail as we have no good reason to suspect we actually agree on anything but the words. so :
jurov: re: ring buffer - does not solve the fragmentation the moment you want to reorder txs by fee. i see it as either using slab allocator or periodically dumping whole mempool to disk and reread it
ascii_field: just as su rockets worked
ascii_field: not even a bad idea, it's this vaguely standardml-like contraption where you try to prove that your crypto alg works as specced
mircea_popescu: these nodes talk, as properly.
mircea_popescu: "Although the potential development of quantum computers threatens the security of many common forms of cryptography such as RSA, "
ascii_field: i'd even go as far as to suggest the use of lamport signatures
mircea_popescu: as per example http://40.media.tumblr.com/2f5339ff02c6add59e46b9cd6d456319/tumblr_mg4rawQewx1ryfbpgo1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: for some reason i read that as ram parity check something-or-the-other.
mircea_popescu: of course, there's a 2nd layer of problems : had the code been neatly written by someone obviously clueful as to the fundamentals of computer programming, would we have believed.
ascii_field: and, as mircea_popescu mentioned earlier, there is also the problem of fragging, which none of this even begins to deal with, nor is anything like a clean/simple solution to it known to me
mircea_popescu: "That contrary to planted disinformation of which the Guardian article is a fine example, the NSA has complete and unlimited, instantaneous access to any and all information passed through the TOR network in its entirety, as a matter of course and by design."
mircea_popescu: slim as a hound.
mircea_popescu: "TLDR: Fat with knee problems. Fat mother. Fat people are a cancer. " << i wonder how come people will throw an absolute hissy fit should mother dare smoke, yet nobody seems to get too worried should mother be obese. yet smoking is not nearly as damaging as obesity.
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 00:10:35; mircea_popescu: anyway, point remains, if someone [such as jurov] decides to spend a day on this he should have to use as little as possible hunting the history as that leaves as much as possible to actually doing work.
mircea_popescu: dumbest fucking idea. why THE FUCK would the transport layer be even aware of pgp as opposed to plaintext.
mircea_popescu: there's no reason for it to be "good" when kuhn describes it as a way for scientists to keep from being too stupid and also "bad" when ayers describes it as a way for red necks to still manage to fit in with their neighbours without shooting each other too much.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Please reformat and resubmit as per http://trilema.com/lacessiveram-editor

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-11-2015#1332526 << for the record/future and as best practice : mod6's style of doing these, with pastes etc is much better, because it allows later effort to build upon previous effort. deedbot- is also not a bad venue to store this sort of thing, seeing how it's just code atm. "when i do so and so this is the bt resultant". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yeah, one of these days we'll make a sore point list of things, as a necessary [early] step towards printable btc.
mircea_popescu: the usage of statics in that pile is still not understood [in its implications]. stands as a major sore point to this very day, six years later.
ascii_field: but if you do invoke the destructors (as i later did) - you crash.
phf: jurov: the goal is to get bitcoind working with pogo's limited memory. the problem is that a running bitcoind grows in memory use as a result of normal operations. we know that some processes claim a lot of memory by design, like mempool, so first step is to get a reliable way of cleaning out mempool. ascii wrote that patch, but discovered that in practice zapmempool doesn't reduce memory use.
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 14:32:04; asciilifeform: thestringpuller: this patch does not work as described, on account of boost idiocy (removal of items from the hash does not invoke their destructures! believe)
phf: jurov: clear not working is my broken telephone of that ascii was saying in the logs. i've only gotten as far as making sure that the code ~seems~ to be working, hence my conclusion, which is that mempool is somehow not just mapTransactions & mapNextTx
BingoBoingo: Well, not confirmed courpses yet. Local news has stopped referring to the officers though as "wounded" and has transitioned to "shot" to describe their condition

brg444: I'm guessing you also dared take the plunge into the literature as well? (Bastiat, etc.)
pete_dushenski: and now, as i speak it out loud to mein heir on a daily basis, i'm practicing more than i have since i was 10 years old !
brg444: might as well mention "c'est à dire" should really be "c'est-à-dire"...
brg444: btw pete_dushenski was reading your last article on contravex. great stuff as usual but noticed a typo, if you care: 2nd "exclusivity" should be "exclusive"?
mircea_popescu: "alfdog the cat" could be a decent comic. it's about a dog who identifies as a cat.
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> BingoBoingo: this would make a great scene for alfdog the movie << I kinda though alf identified more as a cat.
mircea_popescu: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/nov/25/google-deems-bernie-sanders-economic-plan-phishing/ << in other news, google simply marks EVERYTHING as spam.
asciilifeform: just for so long as you aren't the one falling through the riddled floorboards.
asciilifeform: (as observed in earlier thread)
mircea_popescu: your life, use as you will.
asciilifeform: see, back to what mircea_popescu referred to as my 'temple of nonsense', intellectualism is this thing where some folk devote their whole lives to -ev folly like writing poetry or proving theorems
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 16:31:44; asciilifeform: (fwiw the subject has no emotional button push for me, because i don't expect to last for as long as five seconds under feudalism)
asciilifeform: and this would include all of what pretty much anybody thinks of as 'culture'
mircea_popescu: kinda what the romans had, as it happens.
asciilifeform: trinque: i happen to think that 'without', ru would live in the same place as the incas
mircea_popescu: as it happens... he didn't.
asciilifeform: trinque: the idea is that it existed as a -ev flourish on culture, like poetry.
asciilifeform: and yet i see the loss of the physics/maths/etc. as a historic calamity, and it boggles my mind that any cultured man would disagree
asciilifeform: thing is, b-a as we have it today (at least as far as my naked eye can see) is not feudalism and not even ru mob
asciilifeform: microscope is actually a terrible hammer. the reason i am so fond of the image is that i actually used it as one as a boy
mircea_popescu: as a macula of their true state : they don't exist.
asciilifeform: aha, sometimes it has great potential as fuel
asciilifeform: i'm perfectly fine with self as object
mircea_popescu: let's work an example with sluts, easier to take women as objects than yourself as an object.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i did not say 'wot is useless' but that i in particular do not - as demonstrated experimentally not long ago - command particularly much market value there. << the idea is not that you command anything. the conversion from postmodern derp to feudal subject is not done under the control of the derp.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did not say 'wot is useless' but that i in particular do not - as demonstrated experimentally not long ago - command particularly much market value there.
asciilifeform: most of the old slaves, as we both know, are worth their joules in diesel
asciilifeform: just that this is of approx. the same interest to me personally as the long-term dwarf phases of sol
asciilifeform: (fwiw the subject has no emotional button push for me, because i don't expect to last for as long as five seconds under feudalism) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: by definition. as they aren't owners, the only thing they can be is looters.
mircea_popescu: the usgtards like to act as if that future point is here, because they're too enamoured of the swamp they inhabit.
mircea_popescu: what happens to gold when no more mining is possible ? (as you know, gold is finite in the universe)
asciilifeform tried using the classic otc site on at least five separate occasions but never succeeded in either buying or selling so much as a nut or a bolt there
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 15:00:55; mircea_popescu: (bitcoin unintelligently transformed its already minor cost into a disasters of commons situation, due to the fact that satoshi had about as much financial experience as a holywood star. but anyway.)

mircea_popescu: conversely, if for whatever reason (such as horrible insecurity everywhere else in europe, while romania's sterling cannons guarantee it'll be fine), you decide to pay 106 cents for the dollar, your yiedl will be
