lobbes: still enough soul
to not be made by a machine, but fast enough
to say 'damn'
lobbes: I've got a love for 'fast blues'; srv and
the like
trinque: that 300mph
torrential outpour blues is good
too
mod6: anyway,
thanks for
taking a look!
mod6: anyway, mircea_popescu I'll
talk
to ben_vulpes about helping me write something up for
these charts.
mod6: so
the size of
that entire directory is not exactly an accurate picture
mod6: yeah,
this is
the size of
the full bc sync (v0.5.3.1+OrphanageThermonuke)
lobbes: My old
turdcoin is about 47 gb atm
lobbes: also, music
that made it
to
the 'top of
the charts' back
then was actually music
mircea_popescu: entertainment's in
this weird situation where
the olympic record holders of
today couldn't meet
the quals for regional competitions in
the 70s.
mircea_popescu: so i've been listening
to aerosmith all morning. shocking how great bad music was, 40 or so years ago.
mircea_popescu: just, you
two, package
this in a detailed, explicit, clear, verbose article.
mod6: if you're looking at
timing metrics, I can just use 'time' or just rely on
the
time started in PS and subtract
that from
the end
time.
mod6: i don't have
the kinda hardware for
this sort of
ting.
mod6: so, i probably just run
them consecutively unless it /really/ matters.
mod6: the one alone costs me $89/mo. and now i've got 2 others for gentoo, and another one is gonna get pricy for
this month.
mircea_popescu: mod6 maybe even
think about writing a qntra piece, or ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: as it is,
this reporting, it is a 90% of an excellent job. make
the extra 10%. make it whole, it'll be great.
mod6: anyway, sorry if
the charts were less
then stellar, but at least /something/
to look at.
mircea_popescu: mod6 not a bad idea. but make sure you package
these with
the required context and publish
them.
ascii_field: mod6: by all means,
the more -
the merrier
mod6: then maybe we have something
to compare
too... and maybe even a v0.5.3 original baseline as well.
mod6: anyway, I was considering running another full-sync without
the OrphanageThermonuke patch -- just a v0.5.3.1-RELEASE baseline.
ascii_field specializes in approximately
this kind of circus
trick
mircea_popescu: ascii_field industrial engineering is a
three century old history of "minimal improvements have astounding effects"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i must say
the profiling seen here crowns an expectation
that has been slowly building from what was shown prior, ie
that
the snipped bitcoin 5 we're using is actually a major improvement over
the old bitcoin 5, and
thus very, very far ahead of bitcoin 10/11/etc.
mod6: no idea. i can post
the raw data if someone wants
to pour
through it.
trinque: lol is it a signed int
that wrapped?
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah kinda what i was
trying
to evaluate, if
the "0, usually" is valid.
mod6: most of
the
time, looks like 0? except for
the beginning.
mod6: maybe
that just means
there was only a few page faults.
mod6: yeah, some of
these charts don't make sense
to me.
mod6: ended yesterday,
the 11th.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't recall ever running a node under 8gb, and for
that matter
that was more like 2012. i
think everything now's 32.
ascii_field: so far, i'm 90% certain
that
this is mainly due
to fragging.
mircea_popescu: mod6 doesn't matter which chart per se, just
trying
to put
this in context. what was bitcoind doing in
the interval ?
mod6: the box was doing nothing else while
this
thing was running.
mircea_popescu: mod6 listen, what happened in
the 6-12 may interval ? full blockchain sync ? something else ?
mod6: i'll maybe
try another
tool next
time.
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 00:38:06; asciilifeform: mod6:
the obvious steps are 1) determine if still leaks (tentatively, i will say
that it does not) and 2) determine wtf is eating
the ram
mod6: so
this is just my first shot at it, really.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, it's a bot
that logs a couple of channels for me
mod6: Hmm,
the swap and & disk are blank for some reason. im sure I just didn't do something correct with
those.
mircea_popescu: what business of it is
theirs ? "oh, you're so ignorant, you don't even know astronomy". well... he's a farm hand, let him farm.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller well, see,
the opinions of people who do not own 30 btc
to
their name as
to
the comings and goings of places where
this is a minimum requisite bar do not constitute proper ignorance. it's like saying country bumpkins in montana have no idea how broadstreet works.
they obviously don't, but
this because
the goat does not know calendars.
ascii_field: thestringpuller: remember,
tungsten melts in your mouth.
thestringpuller: reddit users i suppose so it is irrelevant.
the level of ignorance is just astonishing
tho
mircea_popescu: apparently, corrupt govt official with private intersts made pro-forma arrangements
to rid himself of
these so as
to use govt
tools
to further
them
thestringpuller: bitmex d00d says, and i quote, "it is
trivial
to mitm mpex.co cause it uses
http"
ascii_field: (attempting
to be something other
than slavishly
transparent
to usg
tendrils)
ascii_field: also note what
the crime in
this case was.
mircea_popescu: "but your honor, it would be a price
too high for society
to pay were
the government granted
the right
to act because of any defect sufficient
to invalidate submitted
tax reports"
mircea_popescu: so government can fuck up
the conviction, gets a second shot because hey, govt's speshul. you go fuck up your
tax returns, see how
that goes over.
ascii_field: and
this is
the national disease of u.s. folks.
ascii_field: saying 'i want a government only -so- big' is a bit like asking for 'a
tumour only -so- big'
mircea_popescu: "if we don't steal your rights right at
the
top, it is unlikely our agents at lower levels would not steal
them anyway"
mircea_popescu: new
that reversal of a conviction would put
the accused irrevocably beyond
the reach of further prosecution."
mircea_popescu: al. It would be a high price indeed for society
to pay were every accused granted immunity from punishment because of any defect sufficient
to constitute reversible error in
the proceedings leading
to conviction. From
the standpoint of a defendant, it is at least doubtful
that appellate courts would be as zealous as
they now are in protecting against
the effects of improprieties at
the
trial or pretrial stage if
they k
mircea_popescu: "While different
theories have been advanced
to support
the permissibility of retrial, of greater importance
than
the conceptual abstractions employed
to explain
the Ball principle are
the implications of
that principle for
the sound administration of justice. Corresponding
to
the right of an accused
to be given a fair
trial is
the societal interest in punishing one whose guilt is clear after he has obtained such a
tri
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: "the constitution is
there
to protect
the government from having
to do
things... <<
this doctrine is almost as old as
the parchment itself
mircea_popescu: basically
this
translates
to "the constitution is
there
to protect
the government from having
to do
things it doesn't want
to do, not
to protect
the citizens from
things
the government wants
to do but shouldn't"
mircea_popescu: "In a line of precedent almost a century old,
the Supreme Court has repeatedly stressed
that
the Double Jeopardy Clause does not preclude
the government from retrying a defendant whose conviction is set aside because of an error in
the proceedings leading
to conviction."
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 19:42:12; mircea_popescu: which incidentally - if anyone wants
to sysadmin an aws-style offering on
top of bisp metal, please get in
touch. i'm open
to
the idea, we'd have
to discuss how it would work.
trinque: qntra article made mention
that it'll want
to cater
to larger customers, so perhaps
that fills
the gap for
those needing smaller instances
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it's not even
that, lol. i'm not making a judgement based on how
the
twerp presents itself.
this is more like, "you're not famous, go away", but for a much better definition of famous. "people i care about heard of you."
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's almost like
they've forgotten what "right of admission reserved" actually means because of
this ongoing "the customer is ALWAYS right" nonsense
mircea_popescu: it's funny, what a few decades of "everyone else is your supporting cast" has done
to joe blow.
lobbes: 'Before I consider joining your Web of
Trust' lmao
ascii_field: for
those who did not watch
the 'elbrus' youtube (did anyone ?) - if
the screenshots are genuine , we now know
that one core of 'elbrus' has approximately same benchmark performance as 'pogo.'
jurov: neat. i am finally beating
the mailman into submission,
turdatron can link
there
☟︎ mod6: im gonna work on running
through my doc & setting
that up instead
tonight.
mod6: trinque: <+mod6> bah. so now
that i know a bit about uclibc, perhaps I need
to go
through
this again with
this "[19] hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64" instead of "[14] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib << yeah
funkenstein_: sometimes keeping up with
trilema feels like
trying
