mircea_popescu: what happened
to pointing out
to
the driver he's
to speak when spoken
to.
mats: we're supposed
to be buds
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 05:52:58; mats: driver insisted i sit in front, fist bump him, and
talk
the whole
trip
trinque: portland wants
to break from
the repressed sexuality of america so bad
trinque: notable how happy everyone seems in
town when everyone's ass-naked in
the streets
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 04:31:56; cazalla:
tfw buying a deciduous
tree in
the winter and feel like i bought a stick for $20 lol (Hovenia dulcis if anyone cares as much)
trinque: lets just make
the
tits-out
thing year-round
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 some p[eople in portland were gazing at
the nude biker chiks
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: yeah, I do a bit of
that around oregon
trinque: but I'm sure I'll get
to it
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: hi
there. were you able
to read
through
that book? if so, what'd you
think?
mircea_popescu: to quote sammy l, "that's no reality i ever heard of.
they speak english in reality ?"
mircea_popescu: where you put a bunch of dumb
teens in a room and nobody fucks anyone.
trinque: and
turn
the
trip
to mars into a reality
tv show
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 04:15:12;
trinque: ah man, I'll be able
to bolt one of
these
to my emdrive and colonize mars
trinque: I guess
this girl
thought babies were shat... or something
mircea_popescu: then
the recess was over an' i
told
the gals all about it. was a very lulzy week.
mircea_popescu: "wut do you mean, i heard
there's a little nubbin
thing like a
tip of a finger" "omfg get out of here 6/10
trolling"
trinque: reminds me of a chick I remember in high school
telling me
that she had no idea her pussy had a hole in it until *way* later
than a healthy human being should
mircea_popescu: and
the dude went like wtf am i on about,
there's no such
thing.
mircea_popescu: so
then i asked him where's
the little worm
thing on
the girl's snatch, upside or downside ?
mircea_popescu: trinque no
this was specifically
that after summer vacation, guy
told class agape
this
tall
tale about
the orgy he had going at his grandparent's rural house.
mircea_popescu: i could be back in school, listening
to retarded 11yos describing
their sexual experience in flamboyantly wrong detail.
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 04:14:20; decimation: and
http://www.helionenergy.com/ < "By combining our years of experience in fusion, newly available electronics
technologies, and a revolutionary design using cutting-edge physics, Helion is making a fusion engine 1,000
times smaller, over 500
times cheaper, and realizable 10

than other projects."
ascii_field: and i have it on good authority
that folks in
the age where 'sherlock holmes' is set also laughed
trinque: yeah, but now
they're called hololens, and you'll have
to
take out a credit card
to purchase
ascii_field: (issued
to artillerists, reading oddball experimental maps)
mircea_popescu: i'm sitting here in
the 80s romania laughing at 3d glasses. for fucks sake - FROSI,
the communist german's youth magazine, sent me some very sturdy cardboard 3d glasses in one edition. was like 86 iirc.
mircea_popescu: fucking curse of an active intelligence : you don't, personalyl, get old. you just get
to watch
the entire world get very old very fast/
ascii_field: in yr 2500
there will be folks selling 'forever live' pills
mircea_popescu: will i live
to be 90 and read all about "the very exciting
technical development of 3d cinema", which apparently didn't fail convincingly enough
the fiurst
time jack warner
trieds
to beat
television out of
the amrket
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i was promised rotation! WHAT IS
THIS SCAM
mircea_popescu: "i'm fat and should work out but
the science involved in mean so 6/10" ?
ascii_field: muppet
theatre has a box of masks, occasionally
they rotate
ascii_field amused re: how
that fella appears always at certain... occasions
decimation: oh, here's a c preprocessor macro
to implement
templates!!
ascii_field: my brain pulsates like it wants
to blow chunks
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude, how
the fuck should i know how people who use magic numbers pick
the magic numbers
to use./
mircea_popescu reels at
the realisation it never occured
to him before
decimation: I do agree
that converting blkxxx
to dirtree would be an improvement
ascii_field: it's how we got
the blkxxxx
turd in
the 1st place
jurov: iirc
there's vfat driver for ms-dos.. some 200k
mircea_popescu: in any case i regard
the blkxxx scheme as a hare brained, buggy slow and stupid reimplementation of a filesystem in a kernel
that's
trying
to be an app.
ascii_field: there are ~working~
tcp stacks for 'bare bios'
ascii_field: and not, as naive might suppose,
the
tcp/ip !
ascii_field: the only
thing
that even needs an os in
the usual sense is
the
threading
ascii_field: (msdos, as we know, won't eat a +2G fs - but doesn't give a damn what you say
to
the disk controller. so roll your own.)
mircea_popescu: maybe not msdos, but i
think cp/m would actually suffice for everything involved.
ascii_field: it is what i wanted
to do in
the mythical msdos port
mircea_popescu: because if you run bitcoin on
that system, ALL
the
tradeoffs
the kernel makes MUST be organised around its needs.
ascii_field: it is easy
to solve. just define custom fs for blockchain
ascii_field: filesystems (other
than reiser) don't like dir full of millions of
turdz
mircea_popescu: yeah but filesystem is who is supposed
to deal with
this.
mircea_popescu: no fucking idea why it hasn't implemented a from
the get go incidentally.
ascii_field: as so
the
thing doesn't end up running in O(N)
time
ascii_field: the bdb
thing is for
tx (and block-by-header) indexing
mircea_popescu: honestly
the only sane arrangement would be either a) store each block as a file, or else b) store blocks in arbitrary sized files, each starting at offsed 1Mb * block_count
mircea_popescu: ascii_field eh. proceeding from
the other direction : not only is
the need for a bdb datastore directly indicative of allignment problems, but moreover its presence virtually guarantees
them. so no, i don't
think you can actually rely on "block after block"
thing, but
then again i can't be arsed
to emacs a .dat
mircea_popescu: ascii_field are
the bursts mechanically
the same ? like, all 500kb or w/e ?
mircea_popescu: (i also have strained variants, obviously - but of what interest are
they)
mircea_popescu: aha. but anyway : yes all my blks are original in
that sense,
this bneing
the whole point of
the exercise.
ascii_field: ('stale' is a better
term, but does not appear in src)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
the
terminology 'orphan' is used in
the source, hence why i referred
to it
mircea_popescu: alright. but
the former's still stale rather
than orphan
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
the latter we now call 'bastard'
mircea_popescu: different from
the orphan, which is "block with no known connection
to
the hcain"
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 02:51:53; asciilifeform: if his blk** are ~original~ - as in,
they were formed ~as
the blocks happened~ -
they can contain orphaned (in
the
traditional sense) blocks
ascii_field: and nobody even read
the mega-experiment from
this morning yet, afaik
mircea_popescu: decimation i know, but
this is a major server doing all sorts of other
things. it could not stand for five minutes if
that were
the problem.
