ben_vulpes: but judging from how the biofilm uses symbols instead of thinking i rather expect that the protonmail address is read
mircea_popescu: i'm curious what flavour of muh feelings gets pulled this time.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i actually already emailed him
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 19:23 mircea_popescu: in other absolutely-not-news, I suppose the isomorphism http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-18#1753616 <<-=->> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1757015 is evident to everyone except the "self-determined" freewilled parties in question.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you (or anybody) has a contact for this gregory pery tard (i dun imagine totallynotrobots@protonmail.com actually works ?), maybe point out to him that http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1758148 and it's really ridoinculous to be wasting his weeks to freely support the usg pile of evil ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "What’s weird though is that the OAuth2 token doesn’t ever change, and I can’t find anything in the Uber developer documentation that deals with token expiration;" << word.

ben_vulpes: but in particular i hate cpp
ben_vulpes: i hate everything
mircea_popescu: i didn;t realise anyone kept that thing in.
mircea_popescu: myeah. anyway, stopgap of the "if i make it what i think it should be -- it crashes" line.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 20:45 ben_vulpes: traveling through the suburban wastelands yesterday, i tried a 'starbucks' croissant for lols, thinking to myself, 'imagine if they can screw up the croissant'. and lo, it was terrible. no flake, all soft spongiform inside.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yeah i pulled the trigger on that excision along with the hash truncation, see the ml
ben_vulpes: i don't quite see the connection between NATed nodes and this max outbound connections constraint, could you elaborate?
mircea_popescu: i know it seemed all great and fabulous back when deskilling brought about abominables a la condolezza rice as "secretary of state" notwithstanding strict incapacity of any sort of thinking
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: this is neato, i'ma look when i get back
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> iirc hanbot was using it to do something trilema-related, sounded happy with it. << yeah, i'm working on setting it up with a (partial in all senses) trilema post index, see if it makes finding posts in chan easier since google is ~useless for it. trinque's ircbot as posted has been a joy.
asciilifeform: s the same token I keep getting, no matter how many times I log in and out of my account using the Surface app' << lel
asciilifeform: 'I put together a Python-based client that can talk to Uber’s backends, to start harvesting OAuth2 tokens for entropy analysis and to see if there are any issues with their PRNG. What’s weird though is that the OAuth2 token doesn’t ever change, and I can’t find anything in the Uber developer documentation that deals with token expiration; literally the same token I was issued when I first created my Uber account for testing i

asciilifeform: znc proxy would cure, i suspect
asciilifeform: which presently leaves asciilifeform with no place to put the bot ( i won't keep it on zoolag, uncloaked irc-to-fleanode results in massive shitfloods routinely )
asciilifeform: nao how would i know if ~only~ from there
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: some of the bread eaten in blockade-era leningrad , was, i suspect, a serious step ahead of 'starbucks'.

ben_vulpes: Hssgh5337k: you could at least mention these skills; otherwise it reeks of "i'm a magical pony and YOU DON'T UNDERSTAAAAND"
ben_vulpes: come 2020 if not sooner, it'll be "and i beg your consideration".
ben_vulpes: and to quote BigTexasBingo, the time for showing up and derping around without saying "i am so and so, and should be considered for inclusion in the forum for reasons of x y and z" was in 2013, not the tail end of 2017.
BigTexasBingo: For serious though, how lucky am I that no other lord in the big prison has made their escape here yet
mircea_popescu: in other absolutely-not-news, I suppose the isomorphism http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-18#1753616 <<-=->> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-22#1757015 is evident to everyone except the "self-determined" freewilled parties in question. ☝︎☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( if i know of a nextblock, and i'm peering with mircea_popescu , and he doesn't, or vice-versa -- the boxes oughta share )
mircea_popescu: i never ran this many computors in my lyf!
asciilifeform: notably i have no way of knowing.
ben_vulpes: (hash and height, i mean)
asciilifeform: yea i can't think of any reason whynot.
asciilifeform: i can't speak for others, but asciilifeform often ( almost always, in fact ) runs trb during tests, in pure userland, making use of 0 systemwide loggings )
asciilifeform: trinque: i suspect that we already had this thread
trinque: I dunno a linux on earth that can't log the direct output of a service
asciilifeform: i'd like to get a sense for where blocks come from.
asciilifeform: what i'd like to see is 'was it from a trb?'
asciilifeform: right up there with 'from-where-i-got-ACCEPTED-block'
ben_vulpes: i have another kiestered that i may as well unload at the same time, hash untrunculation
trinque: I'm 60some blocks behind nao.
asciilifeform: i'ma thinking already about next level of possible 'aggression' : namely to pushgetblocks() at ALL running peers, if >20min pass, say, without a new block received
trinque: a complicating factor of me testing the version string is that while ahead, I may be feeding other TRBs, while not, not.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: one thing i do with logbot is to use postgres as a queue so that a background worker can do all of the thinking and crashing without thrashing the irc connection
ben_vulpes: anyways i must have an extra-thick layer of prb, as my node has found precisely one block in the past three hours
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 16:46 asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque what do you recommend for a talking-in-chan bot-tron ? i'd like to hook up 'ffacalc'...
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aa see i was making a http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1757976 . ☝︎
ben_vulpes: sorry, asciilifeform. i was focused on the logbot part, forgot about the ircbot and to update documentation.
asciilifeform: anyway , worx, now all i need is to think of how to properly cut the output so as not to straddle message breaks...
asciilifeform: no eyes involved, i pressed and used trinque's original usage.txt and got barf
asciilifeform: oooh i think i see why. ben_vulpes's 'multiple-channels' patch mutilated it
asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/nxnWA/?raw=true << or for that matter anybody else using trinque-bot -- any idea what gives ? i followed the example in the readme...
asciilifeform: or do i miss something
asciilifeform: maybe i'm thick, but i dun see the algo 'between the lines' here
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu has thought of a meaning for it that doesn't 'a participating entity can recognize work done by itself as opposed to work done by others' -- i'm all ears
a111: Logged on 2017-12-02 16:22 mircea_popescu: anwyay, revisiting an ancient conversation re http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=mining+is+a+bug : i have to thoroughly concede this point to asciilifeform . the model is as follows : if a) a PoW system exists in which b) a participating entity can recognize work done by itself as opposed to work done by others then it NECESSARILY follow that entity can, and therefore it ALSO follows that it eventually will c) impose further con
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 05:56 ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i am very curious in how you figure initial distribution might work
mircea_popescu: something small and desperately needed like better logs i can see ; but by now you're talking painting walls and such
mircea_popescu: but honestly i'd prioritize db-fix-and-trb-split discussed over these rather cosmetic by comparison improvements.
asciilifeform: ( ... at least until operation 'X' , i.e. mod-exp, is defined ! )
asciilifeform: ( i recommend bolting the width in place to 256 , to keep lines short )
asciilifeform: and i'll add that if somebody other than asciilifeform feels like doing this operation, i will take off my hat
asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque what do you recommend for a talking-in-chan bot-tron ? i'd like to hook up 'ffacalc'... ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right, idea being that it is conceivable that 'aggression' increases isolation . i cannot yet rule it out.
asciilifeform: and speaking of this, can haz patch that logs ~from what kind of node~ each ACCEPTED block came ? ( or do i have to do errything meself..? )
mircea_popescu: i don't see any change in behaviour. the prb node will produce ~same % of blocks with or without.
asciilifeform: ... as mircea_popescu prolly intuited , it remains possible that 'aggression' takes the trb<->prb link breakage from , say, the 80% of before, to 100% , and i would not learn about it until reaching tip.
asciilifeform: in ~1wk i expect to learn how it behaves at tip.
asciilifeform: ( unrelatedly, but before i fughet, observation : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755826 i.e. bastardry handler, is unproductive because it asks 'fill in what we're missing', but 99 out of 100 shots, that's ~another~ bastard. really instead it ought to either 1) send a normal pushgetblocks() to the bastard-emitter , asking him for the ~one and only block we won't reject~, it being the immediately-next-one-after-our-topheight , or ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yes, but this isn't it ; i'd have thought it'd have ecology in it because i recall the link being made, but also no dice.
mircea_popescu: i've engineered hell for myself here, "it's either in the log or on the blog" yes tyvm
mircea_popescu: apparently i can't find that discussion now.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha. sorta why i retell it nao.
asciilifeform: but i did say ~under~ stalin, not 'by'
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: but hey, by now the stuff of "bitcoin is backed by nothing, stick to dollars" is well stale i'd guess.
asciilifeform: i'ma prolly have to rewrite the code-formatter plugin thing, it insists on autoprocessing to emplace the escapes, but does not do ~mismatched~ double-quotes
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."
shinohai: I fully intend to report on my results with patch after all this holiday nonsense is over.
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 )
asciilifeform: ( i.e. nothing ~inside~ the vpatch, suffers )

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
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."
asciilifeform: can't say that i am, shinohai
trinque: "I demand that you delete my informations from this website!"
neur0: well i dont save those
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: i'm sure. nevertheless...
mircea_popescu: as long as it ships with keccak i don't care what other nonsense i will never read is included by possibility.
asciilifeform: i.e. vtron not married to a hasher.
mircea_popescu: there's ~no reason to have legacy DSA sigs in tmsr-rsa ; similarilyt why would i support sha2 in v ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the history stays, i'm sure. why not ?
mircea_popescu: if they are, and ONLY if they are, they can stfu and regrind everything until i get bored of it.
asciilifeform: i have a flounder , bought at bucharest flea market, preserved in epoxy like mircea_popescu's kindergartener
mircea_popescu: i have ~0 interest to bake into permanent history either polarbeard or punkman.
ben_vulpes: shall i dig mine out?
