mircea_popescu: felipelalli find out the details, write a qntra article.
danielpbarron: "This is frustrating; from a clean slate analysis of network health I think my conclusion would be to _decrease_ the limit below the current 300k/txn/day level." << I concur; 1MB is probably too large a block ☟︎
assbot: 1A: Overview and Introduction to Lisp | Video Lectures | Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs | Electrical Engineering and Computer Science | MIT OpenCourseWare ... ( http://bit.ly/1EW7SH2 )
decimation: asciilifeform: apparently MIT put a sussman lisp class from 1986 on their on-line course system http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/video-lectures/1a-overview-and-introduction-to-lisp/
danielpbarron: the ratings are supposed to be a jumping off point that leads to actually talking to someone, and in that regard too much info might be more of a hiderance than a help
danielpbarron: currently only the former is recorded
danielpbarron: might be useful to know "first rated on" in addition to "last updated"
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 23:01:23; cazalla: mike_c, maybe you know or not but timestamp in WoT browser don't appear to update if you previously left that person a rating.. example, a rating i left a month ago is timestamped nov 2014
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-05-2015#1125794 << that was also in the spec ☝︎
danielpbarron: !up Guest53878 you've got to identify with nickserv within 30 seconds of logging in or he'll change your nick to Guest; you can set your irc client to do this automatically
felipelalli: I just knew that a Brazilian exchange was hacked last week but this information is not public yet. Anyone knows anything about it? (a friend told me but he has no much information also).
decimation: google protocol buffers is a library that allows the construction of arbitrary bit protocols
asciilifeform: lose the crapolade, lose this error.
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell
asciilifeform: it's only in there on account of the qt crud
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn't protobuf the google something or the other ?
joecool: could also be that i built it on gcc 5.1 which is proving to be a pile of shit (but this doesn't build in clang either...)
asciilifeform: lose the gui
mircea_popescu doesn't recall ever seeing this one
mircea_popescu: joecool is this on leveldb ?
ben_vulpes: is that some autonamespacified shitgnomery or something?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: A-Rod still has that 10 year contract with the Yankees that says he gets bonuses for ever time he progresses along certain career milestones. He spent all last year suspended because "if you can you must" so now this year that he is breaking all of these milestones after spending last year's suspension by chillaxing at the beach the yankees don't want to pay him his contractual bonuses.
joecool: typical sort of error when trying to run core client
mircea_popescu: what';s the story there ?
assbot: Union preparing to fight for A-Rod's $6 million home run bonus - May. 8, 2015 ... ( http://bit.ly/1DX5FHi )
asciilifeform: we should kiss the arse, aha
asciilifeform: 'Today Bitcoin Core is easily >100 times faster to synchronize and relay than when I first got involved on the same hardware, but these improvements have been swallowed by the growth.' << ahahahahaha the headers-first idiocy
mircea_popescu: this was in the fucking spec, but i forgot
decimation: it turns out that english without latin words sounds very 'primative', so I assumed mel brooks was making an inside joke on writing hollywood indian dialogue
decimation: re: blazing saddles < I didn't get the german speaking indians until I saw this poem (lifted from google's shitty usenet archive) http://dpaste.com/21FWHSJ
decimation: no I thought it was some dutch dude
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla is it possible ratings got lost over the import ?
mircea_popescu: decimation foundation didn't do reporting at the time, remember ? col brian foley, for all you know.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, two i sent in july and august of 2014 are missing from new wot though
mircea_popescu: shit mike_c he has a point. take "36335cazallaOgNasty52014-08-10 10:18:57-1" on http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=cazalla&sign=ANY&type=SENT , not present in http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/cazalla/
decimation: who is the guy who decided to pay gavin's salary?
mircea_popescu: cazalla it's the case for the -10 to rozal (id 37459 on gribble wot) for instance.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seriously. One little threat they call crazy and all of a sudden it comes out no one but Hearn supports Gavincoin while The core devs seem to reveal in turn the never actually thought much on the future.
mircea_popescu: http://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv5uspQdbH1r4p8klo1_1280.jpg << girl around the house.
cazalla: these are older than that, ratings made in 2014
mircea_popescu: would this explain it ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla i missed ratings i made after gribble went down, on gribble's wot. like for instance the phantomcircuit one i discovered missing yest, was made in february.
mircea_popescu: if this isn't disarray i have nfi what is. these people don't even have a forum, a venue where to discuss their shit.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo jesus christ the deluge of verbiage from these people. that two line call-out in #bitcoin-dev has produced almost a million lines of derpage, on irc, on reddit, on personal blogs, everywhere.
cazalla: mike_c, actually a lot more is missing.. on bitcoin-otc i've received 19 ratings (WoT Browser shows 15) and sent 25 on bitcoin-otc (WoT Browser shows 16), these are old ones which i assume should've been included in the snapshot
SamouraiWallet: cool system. tying in wot with irc +v
mike_c: hm, that's not good. they aren't on the b-a page?
cazalla: seems to have dropped a few ratings i made prior to to april 2014 as well
mike_c: cazalla: yeah.. note that it is a 'since' timestamp. http://w.b-a.link/user/cazalla/
mike_c: kakobrekla: what's the current strategy for rating timestamps? Just one stamp that is first-rated?
mike_c: that's how it is in the db.
cazalla: the one i left thestringpuller, it's dated nov 2014 but i believe that was when i first gave him a rating
BingoBoingo: (at the end)
BingoBoingo: Hello tteesstt
BingoBoingo: !up tteesstt
mircea_popescu: cazalla that's photochopped. i can tell by some pixels.
gribble: BTCChina BTCUSD ticker | Best bid: 243.820017, Best ask: 243.84096, Bid-ask spread: 0.02094, Last trade: 243.84096, 24 hour volume: 81714.51890000, 24 hour low: 235.368711, 24 hour high: 247.124178, 24 hour vwap: 239.998074291
cazalla: reverse image search for that on google throws back "dubai porta potties"
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 19:47:04; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l! any idea what the likely scenario behind that photo is ?
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-05-2015#1125656 <<< here's the after shot in any case https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B-D6KxbCQAEkB4A.jpg:large ☝︎
mircea_popescu: heh. collectibles are not this.
asciilifeform: (both are 'collectibles' and there were many more alphas)
asciilifeform: and -cheaper- today than itanic
asciilifeform: one of the cleanest, most well-documented (fit in a thin paperback book - whole fucking machine, not only cpu)
mircea_popescu: no, computing. "the only way to run a computer today is with an intel itanium running debian"
asciilifeform: takes over what, the fab ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody asks intel. the idea was, if FOSS actually can deliver on the promises it makes, then it takes over at that juncture.
mircea_popescu: (and it didn't really work well enough - which was perhaps correctly blamed on the proc)
asciilifeform: intel never had any purpose in life other than to operate as microshit's partner in crime
asciilifeform: iirc gcc was the -only- working compiler for itanic, for ages
mircea_popescu: i've been thinking when it jumped the shark
mircea_popescu: the itanic thing was perhaps the breaking point for FOSS, in retrospect.
asciilifeform: (vliw is a bitch to compile for)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: microshit was unable to bake a reasonable compiler for itanic. hence it sank.
asciilifeform: but they all make turd built from same circuit)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reason for this is because we're not big enough yet lol. "the next builders of roads once the romans croak will still not be the huns". well.... yes.
asciilifeform: and the worst architecture i've ever had the misfortune to work with. just about worse than x86 from a fits-in-brain perspective
asciilifeform: which is likewise turdalicious usg tentacle.
asciilifeform: incidentally, situation is more depressing than could be, because the usual principle of 'the thing waiting to catch the falling corpse is us' does not apply here. when intel dies, the corpse will be eaten by arm
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i'd note that the most pestilential thing about intel is the fact of it keeping x86 alive, rather than boobytraps << To be fair they gave Itanic the old college try
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, is my discussion of water captive in a glass part of the 7 ?
asciilifeform: i'd note that the most pestilential thing about intel is the fact of it keeping x86 alive, rather than boobytraps
assbot: Introducing the Bitcoin ISP on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1FUzVsq )
williamdunne: 20:09:56 - mircea_popescu: <mike_c> how is the being passed over without comment? Real actual bitcoin hosting! very cool. << i shudder at the thought of what'll happen once reddit & all gets wind of it. <<< what is this?!
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, soft guarantees can be extractred from the unloving tits of mother nature, and so they will be.
mircea_popescu: so yeah, we don't have, nor can we get just yet, the hard guarantees we'd like, and it'd altogether seem we're entitled to, by the shape of the space of logical possibility.
asciilifeform: 'glass cannon', at the least.
mircea_popescu: the only way to gain immunity to them is to not be one.
mircea_popescu: same reason intel's fundamentally unconcerning : all greedy algorithms are vulnerable to other greedy algorithms. that's what it means. ☟︎
asciilifeform realizes he ought to have kept track of previous threads concerning this boojum. there are at least 7
Adlai: gotta put hashes on the blockchain and hellfires in windows
asciilifeform: this is, to put it as briefly as possible, is because 'greedy algorithm'.
asciilifeform: nor, afaik, are the resources available for this.
asciilifeform: but this is not news.
asciilifeform: (i sorta have an entire www about this)
asciilifeform: the secret to killing intel (in the sense of crafting a replacement which pushes the bits -that actually need pushing- at competitive speed at competitive cost) is to ditch x86 and even unix, all the way to von neumann; then can use si fab processes circa 1994 or so
asciilifeform: (and, one could note, was shot with a very small pistol and will be thrashing around for quite some time to come)
asciilifeform: cisco was already tied to the firing post
mircea_popescu: same we that crushed cisco, for argument's sake.
asciilifeform: for argument's sake, what would this consist of ?
