mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181511 << there's a fascination with precarity i suspect the culprit here. to illustrate hwat i mean, suppose we take the island of hawaii cca 1815. at this point, the indigent savages are going about naked doing their indigent savagery, which does not much include murdering each other, and pointedly no writing or so on. ☝︎
jurov: in fact it did, but outside the book
mircea_popescu: jurov did not trade o.O
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 02:52:19; asciilifeform: it is now also possible to elementarily ferret out certain kinds of leaks - e.g., does importing the same bastard block ten thousand times result in an increase in ram footprint ? if so, we have leak
assbot: Some are born to endless night.
assbot: BtcAlpha.com F.MPIF Tracker estimated NAV per share: 0.00021438 B (Total: 425.93 B). Delta: -0.03 B. Last trade for F.MPIF on MPEX was at 0.000207 BTC [+]
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 02:32:10; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: in case this was not clear, it is now possible for the first time to carry out FULLY DETERMINISTIC tests of therealbitcoin (memory consumption, etc) by denying a node a net connection and syncing from disk using 'eatblock'. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: just like on and on. the stupidity of us law enforcement is ever more fantastic.
mircea_popescu: just like it doesn't pay to NOT murder the chick you just raped.
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 01:55:29; decimation: "Authorities have warned from the start that the pair of fugitives might get their hands on guns. Matt did. And it may have been his undoing at that moment. Matt didn't shoot, but he also didn't comply with officers' order, so they opened fire."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181432 << so it doesn't pay NOT to shoot at police. ☝︎
mats: gonna wait for BingoBoingo to wake up and get to it if you don't mind, i don't have a blog
mircea_popescu: mind publishing the plaintext somewhere, say on your blog ? the turd is uselessly opaque, and for instance google doesn'ty know it
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 15:07:40; mats: http://www.docdroid.net/159hk/270137312-bitstamp-incident-report-2-20-15.pdf.html reupload to a 'free online document hosting tool'
mircea_popescu: mats what is that ?
mod6: forgot post this in here lastnight: http://thebitcoin.foundation/ml/btc-dev/2015-July/000106.html
mircea_popescu: this sort of service one couldn't pay for, but i doubt they providing it are aware. somehow it seems ot me it'd be pretty painful if they found out.
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 00:55:29; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181377 << my current understanding is that the blackout in 'reddit' et al. re: therealbitcoin is more or less total.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181418 << it's very funny to me, this. idiots are carefully averting other idiots' eyes from important shit. which is altogether a good thing, last fucking thing anyone wants is a deluge of "well meaning" idiots and other "enthusiasts". at least if the anyone in question stops and thinks about it for five minutes. ☝︎
mats: "One of these, UPE_application_form.doc, contained obfuscated malicious VBA script. When opened, this script ran automatically and pulled down a malicious file from IP address 185.31.209.145, thereby compromising [Kodric's] machine." ☟︎
decimation really back to mines :)
decimation: mats: ah, ty. another link (from the above stackoverflow link) http://c-faq.com/cpp/multistmt.html
assbot: c - What's the use of do while(0) when we define a macro? - Stack Overflow ... ( http://bit.ly/1dxDtVD )
mircea_popescu: mike_c sorry to have caused your genes distress :D
mats: decimation: man in #asm sez, normally one uses that in #define's due to limitations on preprocessor macro syntax
mike_c: ah, thanks.
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 00:30:42; mike_c: mircea_popescu: You left us hanging there! Since it's missing, I must know what those points of interest are :)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181393 << spurious note left in accidentally. i was going to do some reverse tracking of the connecting ips, but in the end decided to just publish them, you can do yourself same thing. ☝︎
decimation back to the mines
decimation: (compared to the non-do{}while(0) version)
decimation: note that gcc creates exactly the same code for that structure
mats: decimation: your link loads 'hello world' in the editor -- toss it into pastein?
decimation: asciilifeform: ^ can you explain why the do{} while(0) structure?
mats: BingoBoingo: ^ may be good for a scoop? not sure how new this information is
mats: http://www.docdroid.net/159hk/270137312-bitstamp-incident-report-2-20-15.pdf.html reupload to a 'free online document hosting tool' ☟︎
decimation: https://github.com/awslabs/s2n/blob/master/utils/s2n_safety.h < here in the memcpy_check
decimation: no I bring up the do{stuff} while(0) because it's in amazon's new openssl 'replacement' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: same principle yields "great politicians" who have no particular interest in what the flag looks like.
decimation: and it is what Fat Tony was talking about: oil traders 'all thought' that they knew about oil and the iraq war, whereas he saw that 'geopolitical analysis' and 'oil trade' isn't the 'same ting'
mircea_popescu: yeah it's in there.
decimation: I think it got cut off but the guy who thought 'green lumber' was literally boards painted green was an excellent trader
decimation: mircea_popescu: that was Taleb's point too
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181359 << to expound on that : a trader is not a commodity enthusiast. in general enthusiasts make very poor traders, which is why all the gold bugs are poor. ☝︎
decimation: no I'm trying to figure it out too
mircea_popescu: decimation maybe im slow, but what about it ? a push a pop two moves an imul
decimation: yeah, well except would you rather a 'link shortner' to the same?
mircea_popescu: is it turing complete ?
mats: dear god that url
decimation: ^ to continue our 'useless do before while' thread
mircea_popescu: can drop scribd too ?
mats: can drop /mobile/ from the url without issue
mircea_popescu: "*BUT*: updating the C library is no trivial task and it is very easy to damage one's system. Therefore, persons who do not exactly know what to do, should consider using a binary distribution instead, when it becomes available."
jurov: asciilifeform: limit raised to 64M (allows for ~ 50M attachments) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: weird how the world works.
assbot: Logged on 29-06-2015 20:38:44; ascii_field: 'Stallman recently tried what I would call a hostile takeover of the glibc development. He tried to conspire behind my back and persuade the other main developers to take control so that in the end he is in control and can dictate whatever pleases him. This attempt failed but he kept on pressuring people everywhere and it got really ugly. In the end I agreed to the creation of a so-called "steering c
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-06-2015#1181240 << the one thing left loose is that AFTER such, rms is not saying, to me or to anyone, "hey, drepper moved to the dark side, glibc was forked". the last thing you'd expect rms to be indicted for would be an inclination to "make things work" and fold for convenience rather than stand for principle. nevertheless... ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: and that brings us to the present.
mircea_popescu: but so far : i put the chain on new server, moved over binary to work it (hey, should work right ?). it sort-of worked but with weird errors. had to have the thing recompiled, which lead to indicating the chain being broken. except the chain checked out, up to the last block. turns out human error on the splicing of the chain copy, so the ul had to be redone (not all , but the index is large)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re teh seed : ima hopefully have it either working or a better idea of wtf is the problem in ~3-4 hoursd.
asciilifeform bbl, spending some time in wheeled coffin
asciilifeform: (well, technically single-bit errors in dram are normally from alpha decay of the materials of which the damn thing itself is made)
mircea_popescu: ima go through two days of logs over here, pray for me.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as far as i can tell, it was an ~actual~ cosmic ray
asciilifeform: hence by the ancient 'pics or it didn't happen' theorem, it didn't happen...
asciilifeform: i have omitted any discussion of yesterday's anomaly from this article, because i was unable to replicate it
mircea_popescu: did i actually miss teh ragnarok ?
jurov: not much, but i'm behind on more important stuff, like less painful sigs tracking
asciilifeform: jurov: would it be painful to modify turdatron such that it displays images, in the same way as .txt ?
jurov: such "multimedia" stuff is better to publish on blog ☟︎
asciilifeform: also i think i have included everything needed to replicate this experiment.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6: feel free to use the figures on your blog. they are rather painful to view from ml
assbot: Logged on 29-06-2015 04:51:04; asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://www.loper-os.org/pub/turdsums/readme_s.txt http://www.loper-os.org/pub/turdsums/sums.txt.gz http://www.loper-os.org/pub/turdsums/sums.txt.gz.sig
asciilifeform: jurov: the other day, i tried to send these: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-06-2015#1180989 ☝︎
jurov: asciilifeform: iirc you wanted me to remove attachment size limit, what do you plan to send?
asciilifeform: also note that plots of figures which remained constant throughout the run were omitted.
asciilifeform: (e.g., the pmap output processor, the gnuplot script)
asciilifeform: note that the entire shebang is includes
asciilifeform: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/attachments/20150701/pss_2f32fc9570f505a65c46b118c415cae70d57d757.png << probably the figure of interest to most folks here
jurov: incredible, these lennards contortions "but we are not vendor, systemd is not a product"
jurov: gavin should ask him to add bitcoin-nxt to systemd. i'm sure reddit would be euphoric beyond measure on that
jurov: "No. We don't add configuration options for a thousand different things. This is really not something I want to see in systemd upstream."

mod6: thx for the update asciilifeform
asciilifeform: not sure what to blame other than ram fault (experiment was taking place on a portable with non-ecc ram) ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: anomaly from last night ~wasn't~ replicated. eater successfully ate blocks through 217336 (shat the day before using 'dumpblock' from earlier sync with mircea_popescu's node)
