asciilifeform: there was a specific conversation, legendarily:
mircea_popescu: which isn't nearly as fortunate a happy occurence as the fantasy-mind imagines from within ; but anyway
mircea_popescu: this follows from the definition of terms, if you manage to find a domain outside of the view of the whip therefore you escaped.
asciilifeform: it's a stretch, conceptually, sure
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure stalin was capable. you see, the buffett mind, "i'm a smart conservative peasant", which seems to my eyes to be what stalin (or for that matter ro hatman) was struggling towards dun work for conceptual worlds.
mircea_popescu: well, in typical manner of usgtronic cargocultism, they pretend to themselves as a captive audience that they've embraced&extended successfully.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."
asciilifeform: it is theoretically possible to write a correct module, but prolly not by homo-phpicus.
mircea_popescu: this is a fine example of why modularization sucks.
asciilifeform: ( being a code formatter, it naively insists on colouring the inside of the double-quotes... )
asciilifeform: took a bit of massage to get it to stop mutilating >, <, &
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this one isn't a wp problem per se, it's interaction b/w wp and the colorizer thing
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 14:46 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1757842 << the wp 'code' plugin is massive headache, i've been fighting it since ch1 . ( e.g in ch4 i had to replace the " in ('"') with a similar-looking uniturd, because double-escape is apparently impossible )
shinohai: Why have I never seen this gem before? https://woz-u.com/ "Woz U provides a personalized approach to coding and tech education designed to get you through the curriculum faster so that you can get into the workforce quicker, and start changing the world."
asciilifeform: the current test on zoolag, however, is mighty interesting: after floundering in a sea of prb for ~hour, thing's been loading blocks almost continuously. at this rate will actually sync in a week or so.
asciilifeform: ( naturally , this is not a Troo Rigorous test. that'd go as i described, 2 identical, save for 'aggression', boxen, on 2 identical pipes )

mircea_popescu: prolly should have a dedicated sad patches bin
phf: asciilifeform: i put your http://btcbase.org/patches/asciilifeform_aggressive_pushgetblocks into http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=experimental, it's a bit messy down there though (heyo), because of a bunch of broken polarbeard patches. i didn't move them to deprecated, because i assume we might still want to regrind them
asciilifeform: they have a , what, 32byte slot allocated for the output of 'find out' ..?
shinohai: I just love these types "trying to find out exactly what is going on here cause i haven't got a god damn clue" but "Nope, can't read logs, boring."
neur0: oh i was just trying to find out exactly what is going on here cause i haven't got a god damn clue
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is a not-so-interesting path to travel. on it we soon arive to "topsort is req'd util, lives on the box".
asciilifeform: keccak is a req'd util , lives on the box
asciilifeform: i.e. vtron not married to a hasher.
mircea_popescu: except, of course, should they be amenable to sucking a lot of cock labeled inconvenience.
mircea_popescu: it is THEIR FAULT that such a wish can not currently be granted.
mircea_popescu: people who want their work of today to stand ~forever are more than welcome to quit "programming", pick up assassination as a vocation, go murder everyone with a wikipedia article / mentioned on hacker news.
mircea_popescu: moreover, glacial timescales do not work nor are they useful. once the decision to not wait until 2075 when alf could shat a monolithic world is made, in then follows we will be producing prototype tools and improving upon them.
mircea_popescu: take mpi as a fine example in this vein.
asciilifeform: i have a flounder , bought at bucharest flea market, preserved in epoxy like mircea_popescu's kindergartener
asciilifeform: a vtron ought to have programmable hash knob.
asciilifeform: the constant and entirely unnecessary reset of history is imho urbit-like and a Bad Thing. e.g. polarbeard ain't coming back to regrind his patches, nor is punkman
ben_vulpes: fair warning, it has a miserable, lisprepl ui
asciilifeform: trinque: i'd especially luvv a depythonized and deperlized one
trinque: to manage a cuntoo overlay.
trinque: tangentially yet again, I'd really like a vtron to put in this here cuntoo. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: pick a name someone doesn't already own.
ben_vulpes: just caught 2 more; looks like it might be on a verification tear now
mircea_popescu: guesswork is a certain kind of fun
trinque: at any rate I do look to be consistently at least a couple blocks behind. gonna now go back to default maxver and let it run.
trinque: asciilifeform: sounds like a neato patch
trinque: mircea_popescu: lookin on the website? if so that's a timestamp indicating when the page itself was last regenerated.
mircea_popescu: the naked eye being not a conceptual eye.
mircea_popescu: very much a case of "driver learned to drive on automatic, thinks gearbox fails to work correctly"
asciilifeform: and in order for this not to be the case, you need a sane db
asciilifeform: more exactly, for so long as it is verifying a block, it is dead-in-the-water
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757669 << the mempool insanity is really a close order approximation of ddos in the first place. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-23 20:34 BigTexasBingo: Both parties appear to be chatting in a civil manner porque Montevideo es muy tranqui
asciilifeform: it did take a while to reach this state, given as 'wires' are no longer in use. had to actually connect to a working and nonblackholed trb.
asciilifeform: ( funnily enough it is now virtually impossible to connect to, on account of actually getting fed a block ~every time it touches anybody ... )
asciilifeform: this is testable empirically; like-so: any N trb nodes built with 'aggression' patch above, and linked via 'wires', should never fall out of height-sync with one another by more than a coupla blox. at any point.

a111: Logged on 2017-12-23 19:34 mircea_popescu: break a clydesdale's whippletree, they will...
BingoBoingo: And if anyone wants accomodations in Uruguay that aren't a hostel, la ciudad vieja is full of ancient $45 a night places with rather grand architecture.
BingoBoingo: Anyways it's not like mircea_popescu level mystical domination superpowers, but it's a profoundly different experience from being a local in the US
mircea_popescu: break a clydesdale's whippletree, they will... ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Being a non-Brasilero extranero in Uruguay is very close to having superpowers
BingoBoingo: And in other joyous sights of the season, saw my first child beggar today pestering me for "un moneda", the fellow in the orange vest whose job I've not figured out yet had a roaring laugh as "No entiendo." "No se, que es un moneda" and then I walked off.

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "No. 04-0631 Wagnon v. Prarie Band Potawatomi Nation. This case concerns a tribe of native Americans in Kansas who have a casino on their reservation. If I understand the facts correctly, there is one road that goes to the casino, and one gas station (the "Nation Station") on that road. As you might guess the gas station primarily sells gas to casino goers. The tribe imposes a tax on the gas that pays for the r

mircea_popescu: kinda why i even bothered putting it in the log / why i look for weird in the mega webfilter that is trilema. you never know when a magical packet pops up, they're like tachyons these things.
mircea_popescu: in other "furious activity as cover for impotence", the string "&nslookup djY7ekWd&'\\\"`0&nslookup djY7ekWd&`'" is going to do something! maybe as a referrer ? maybe if you stuff it into a comment ? IT IS A MAGICALLY POWERFUL STRING!
shinohai: Broken clock is reliable twice a day.
asciilifeform: but it's been a while since asciilifeform experimented with subj.
BingoBoingo: But last time such happened there was at least one miner looking a couple transactions ahead for fees
BingoBoingo: A couple times migrating machines, I've forgot to implement sane fee and had to tack on a heft fee for a transaction involving the change to get shit moving
danielpbarron: apparently 0.001 is too low a fee now
asciilifeform: and speaking of hasty and untested , asciilifeform has a 'aggressive sync mode' trb patch, which will need a proper differential test
BingoBoingo: <blazeme8> well, i'm not interested in linking a 'real' identity. perhaps this is a waste of time. << The time one could take their time on this matter was 2013

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu wants a very specific function, he gotta say algebraically which. and the pile of gears will get gnarlier, quite quickly ...
asciilifeform: and yes it means that every time you publish a sig, you also thereby supply a 'decryption' for some random string of soup
a111: Logged on 2017-12-23 15:56 mircea_popescu: (if memory serves the original split, design choice made late 1990s, was due to either suspicion or reality that either sign or decrypt possibly leaked bits ; the idea of separate keys is not even bad, necessarily, but this does NOT say anything positive about a clunky, ad hoc, untransparent and machine-automagical key hierarchy system. so basically, people probably will have at least two keys in tmsr-rsa, except they won't b
mircea_popescu: there can not exist such a thing as a perfectly homogenuous bar of steel for the exact reason there can not exist a perfectly detailed etch on its surface.
asciilifeform: b/w object that is imperfect because of limitations of the materials, and one that is broken because of limitations of the designer, who was dropped as a child
