BingoBoingo: freetlas: I man the accent on the columbians con dinera sufficient por vacacciones en Pocitos, Montevideo
freetlas: BingoBoingo: It is. I mean, there are more than 4 different accents in Colombia.
mircea_popescu: normally i'm a total phonetic slut, but in this case i made an effort.
mircea_popescu: i deliberately avoided adapting to the idiots.
BingoBoingo: freetlas: Not yet. But I am starting to get a hang of ll y Y sound like Shhhh
freetlas: BingoBoingo: I do speak Spanish, but I do not know rules. Do you have an Uruguayan accent?
freetlas: I wish I knew how Spanish grammar works
mircea_popescu: no, i mircea_popescu ; you freetlas
freetlas: i mircea_popescu
freetlas: I am an individual who sometimes reads trilema
freetlas: I have not the least doubt it
asciilifeform: the ONLY 2 times PushGetBlocks is called ( i.e. to explicitly ASK a peer for new blocks ) is :
asciilifeform: i'ma put this in the l0gz, ftr :
asciilifeform: so trinque , yer node synced on account of being reset. as in more or less every previous case of 'my node stalled, i changed knob K, and reset, and bam! , synced , knob K must be reason' -- it's the reset.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755775 << i dug into this item last yr, and found that the version thing is mostly a red herring : when you set 50400, the same derps drop ~you~, a millisecond or so sooner than you would've dropped ~them~ via malleus. the real culprit is always http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-23#1702558 . ☝︎☝︎☟︎
trinque: prior to that the lag was increasing every time I checked.
trinque: for now, I can report that setting the version number to 50400, a trb node will catch back up, txns will unstick. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 02:17 ben_vulpes: phf: well i'd like to get something out of trb that i can dump into a txrelayulator
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755741 << I have been fighting stuck/slow transactions more frequently in the past month, leading to the last week where I have been completely unable to get connected nodes to take my txn. ☝︎
shinohai: I guess the world needed a spambot for that
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 00:07 ben_vulpes: i had to laugh last night; someone at the table wanted to stake out the position that "people with downs syndrome aren't defective. you can't have defective humans!"

a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 01:38 mircea_popescu: there;s relatively little to differentiate white teenager born 1990/2000s from african teenager born at any point. which i guess was the point, or something.
shinohai: I got mine back mircea_popescu
ben_vulpes: phf: well i'd like to get something out of trb that i can dump into a txrelayulator ☟︎☟︎
phf: i think correct method would really be to get the transaction out as a binary array into shiva, and then have a transaction parser in shiva itself that'll break it down into a sexp or whatever ☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: phf: i was thinking something in this area http://btcbase.org/patches/makefiles/tree/bitcoin/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp#L1320
mircea_popescu: there;s relatively little to differentiate white teenager born 1990/2000s from african teenager born at any point. which i guess was the point, or something. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: most of them are too anxious to actually answer a phonecall (too much pressure! i only talk to my parents!) ; most of them are actually unaware of the web as such.
ben_vulpes: a) don't live there or care too much about barista fashion anymore b) already lead that charge by toting the mp01 for a few months c) wake me up when "i don't have facebook" is actually popular
phf: you want to be ready for when "i don't have a smartphone" thing is in full swing in portland. you can be a full blown hipster avantguard
mircea_popescu: i've been here all day.
phf: unlike the nokia though this t139 sound quality doesn't suck, so i retract my previous statements!
phf: i recently threw out a perfectly working dual-sim nokia something or other, because i thought i lost the battery, but just yesterday i discovered that i had whole two batteries stored elsewhere.
ben_vulpes: i have developed an allergy to bending myself to fit my tools over the last four years; ios is one of the last bits of sand in me gears
phf: "a face book? i do not poses a face book, i have many regular books though!"
phf: ben_vulpes: t9's not bad, it has an auto-updating dictionary which i only use for names, because it also amuses me to write like i'm from a different planet.
asciilifeform: i'd buy a pnoje that supports... morse input
asciilifeform: astonishing how such elementary feature is unknown today. i.e. 'NO ring unless one of numbers N1, N2, ... Ni'
asciilifeform: i was buying one, for someone else, not long ago, and ended up with ye olde 'razr'
phf: major reason i gave up ios is because getting a working connection proxy requires a full blown vpn going
phf: one thing i wrote that i was really happy with is a very simple gps coordinates to atlas grid mapper. the thing would basically draw a rectangle with atlas grid number, like p34 A7 and inside the rectangle it'll draw a large red dot which roughly indicates where in the quadrant you are. i was using it extensively on a trip through alaska, because the toy catches gps readily, but naturally can't catch internet connection. so it was a kind of navigation
asciilifeform: phf: i've always wondered if it is possible to make a 'programming toy' proggy for touchpnojes that actually makes productive use of the fingers , rather than torturing user with simulated kbd
phf: both times i wrote anything on pythonista was when i was traveling without a computer, and i do it semi-recreationally. with automatic indentation and completion it's not particularly painful, if the goal is to get some interesting computations going, rather then you know "programming environment". it's more of a turtle kind of exercise
asciilifeform: ~for~ it, i can even picture, nintendomarket, etc. but ~on~ ?!
asciilifeform: yea i missed this
ben_vulpes: i guess this is new as of the lifted ban on interpreters and compilers?
phf: ben_vulpes: before i finally gave up my ios, i was using pythonista for almost everything, including totp. there's some python totp implementation that i lifted from somewhere, that can be easily ported. i gave up writing a barcode recognizer, though it's not a particularly daunting task with numpy
ben_vulpes: here i was, thinking that a redhat product would have features like 'backup'
asciilifeform: i had nfi this existed
asciilifeform: it relies , as is obvious , on the guts of gnat's main() initializer, that sets the turds . but in so far as i can tell , it is the same in all known gnats
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: dare i ask at what sort of table
asciilifeform: i'ma paste , for the hall of fame:
asciilifeform: at any rate i dun presume to distinguish.
ben_vulpes: i had to laugh last night; someone at the table wanted to stake out the position that "people with downs syndrome aren't defective. you can't have defective humans!" ☟︎
asciilifeform: well i have nfi , but it entirely needlessly drags along the secondarystack thing
asciilifeform: dunno why i didn't think of it earlier
phf: i think a proper cuntoo doesn't even need x11, bash scripts, lynx and framebuffer to render images if need be
BingoBoingo: In a bit under an hour, I visit la ciudad vieja for the first time and there spanish test
asciilifeform: engineer's view that he doesn't own anything, i.e. is gulag inmate -- is generally accurate.
phf: i mean guy says so himself "Specifically, you never really get absolute proof. There’s always some innocent or coincidental explanation that could sort of fit the evidence — maybe it was all a stupid mistake."
asciilifeform: i was abouttosay, what good does 'proof' when reply is inevitably 'but where is the proof of yer proof's proofiness'
phf: even though i hear that sbcl now has a evaluator added back?
phf: there's two sbcl apologists further in thread, one of them saying "I don't mind provocative /per se/, but what you were saying gives the a| impression that SBCL is willfully bad, as opposed to in development. But lumping it in with willfully noncompliant systems for this reason, | given it's version number, is inappropriate." and the other one is a core dev saying that they might add it. of course the expected behavior is still not there
asciilifeform: i can't think of any serious minus, in fact
mircea_popescu: if i was in charge of "human services" all govt housing would have on all walls "you are here ; because you suck."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't picture how to apply it to ~text~ tho
a111: Logged on 2017-12-20 19:00 trinque: I dunno why orcograms aren't done the same way as image formats. doesn't need to be built into the OS.
mircea_popescu: i can see it.
asciilifeform: phf: i'ma guess this is 90% of the world of 'stfu, no , i won't publish it'
phf: heh, while looking for that rant "I have designed and implemented one for my own needs, but I find the number of disgusting losers who would benefit from it if I published my code to be too high."
trinque: I wasn't, so I'll let you continue on that
trinque: I dunno why orcograms aren't done the same way as image formats. doesn't need to be built into the OS. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'm not sure this is braindamaged tho: if you ~must~ have orcograms
asciilifeform: thought i oughta ask, lol
a111: Logged on 2017-01-19 17:38 asciilifeform: also (and iirc i discussed this on my www at one point) the correct approach is to ditch the native compiler, in favour of the interpreter, hand-compiled to fit in L0 cache
asciilifeform: the wedge between cpu and ram clocks today would , i suspect, wipe out the performance difference for most problems
phf: i think naggum has a rant about the last one
asciilifeform: ah hm i thought it had 'progressed' into unusability recently
phf: asciilifeform: you know after staring at a lot of bad c code and last two days worth of conversations, i don't think there's much wrong with sbcl, but then i haven't looked at sbcl code in about a year at this point. i think i was mostly objecting to overall trajectory of lisp ecosystem
phf: i think he doesn't like that they keep poaching his changes back into official cvs
phf: version of tcc as far as I can tell, one which will never build an
phf: But these days, my complaint is that I have no confidence whatsoever in
phf: "then told me that I had to abandon my cleanup work and start over on his tree, and explain everything to his satisfaction (as a Windows guy) before it could go in"
phf: that explains why when i tried building it it was chasing compatibility bugs down a rabbit hole
mircea_popescu: i can believe it.
mircea_popescu: i just get pissy when my brilliant ideas can't be implemented like, the next day.
danielpbarron: who is saying that about eulora? i'm not in any rush. whenever there is a drastic change it makes me more nervous than excited, because now I gotta re-figure everything out again
trinque: hm cool. I'll remove it and see if I can do same, 6 -> 4
diana_coman: so I just did a quick curl for latest gpg, 2.2.4; at least in name ~everything is changed ofc, but it's a load of lol to do a plain grep -r "workaround" .
diana_coman: asciilifeform, myeah, I suspect it's still widely used in fact; if I get any time I'll take a peak at latest I suppose
diana_coman: thing is now I'm even *less* comfortable using that whole mpi thing... makes me wonder what else is in there and not yet spotted
diana_coman: for the very impatient: caller fails on the cases where it uses that broken macro i.e. any shift by a multiple of BITS_PER_MPI_LIMB; 0 is just one case, not the only one; further up, caller avoids the issue, as stated
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-20#1754999 <- it is broken anyway, yes; at the very top it works as I said: by avoiding it basically; in any case, hang on until tomorrow as next chapter will have to be patching this and sorting it out ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i thought it was throwing dis cunt
asciilifeform: it's sop on my boxen but i forgot to include it in my 2015 recipe
trinque: asciilifeform: thought I touched something in there that does it
phf: mircea_popescu: well, ~i've~ found something to hate, so i joined the fray
asciilifeform: phf: i also tried this, ~decade ago, quite impossible
phf: i've actually recently went through an exercise of trying to spin up knuth's plain tex as a standalone typesetting system. it's nearly impossible
