asciilifeform: ( they are readily inserted in most rackable boxen that have internal usb port , but if it's a 1u then you need a 90degree adapter for the plug )
asciilifeform: i dun see any reason for'em not to travel already installed inside boxen
asciilifeform: not quite empty, iirc BingoBoingo thought a few moves ahead, brought some boxes in suitcase
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you did. and how it took , what , whole month on top of the Officially specced <week , and showed signs of passing through who knows what ordeals
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the orig prototype rng
asciilifeform: hey mircea_popescu recall my fedex to ro ?
asciilifeform: maybe i'm thick, but , let's say mircea_popescu wants a server magicked into existence. would he want to pay the cost of a asciilifeform-carries-in-suitcase-in-airplane-to-BingoBoingoistan in the cost of said box ?
asciilifeform: this is mildly reminiscent of the 'hand-delivery for FG service' thread
asciilifeform: maybe if all the jars were in a proper incubator, with thermo/hygro-stat
asciilifeform: iirc they dun reliably sync, however, >day of variance b/w various pupils' hatchings
asciilifeform: i recall the wing-drying specifically.
asciilifeform: it's been a quarter century, can't recall how much gold speck...
asciilifeform: which afaik has never been published anywhere.
asciilifeform polishing off ch9. which will contain, among other things, The Seekrit Of all-iron guaranteed-constanttime mul , with only ~8% penalty over iron mul.
asciilifeform: ( in 'striping' , the platters turn deliberately out of phase )
asciilifeform: ( exercise for the reader, to see why )
asciilifeform: well actually it'd be : ~read~ seek-time is shortened on striped-raid; write-seek -- slightly increased ; absolute contiguous speed of r/w -- unchanged
asciilifeform: the latter having ~1/32th the cpu horse of the former.
asciilifeform: dulap-II had a serious striped-raid ; still took 5x as long to verify same block as fist-sized, raidless ssd zoolag.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: plox to quantify 'just fine'
asciilifeform: i had the above stats patch on the conveyor, but abandoned when saw that there is no mystery anymoar for it to resolve..
asciilifeform: though i will point out, for completeness, that i saw NO substantial 'behinditude' on zoolag since feeding it the pill against shitoshi's sync retardation.
asciilifeform: it will readily reveal the cause of a 'behind' node
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-27#1777381 << i was thinking, the '% of wallclock time spent waiting for blockverifier' , '% of wallclock time spent waiting for newblock' stats really oughta be part of standard 'getinfo' output☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: typically not publicized , but they're there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eh those have been a thing for many years
asciilifeform: ( iirc in all 50 states at this point, if even local cop runs somebody over on his way to arresting a pickpocket, corpse 'hangs' on the pickpocket )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-26#1777321 << observe that in all such cases under modern usg, the corpse 'hangs' on the designated gallows bird; and never on the gestapo ( who can machine-gun or even demolish, as in florida 2y ago, entire houses , with clear conscience )☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-26#1777305 << 'One of Japan’s biggest cryptocurrency exchanges said that about $400 million in NEM tokens ...' >> asciilifeform was replacing a ceiling light and lost a screw, which he arbitrarily will value at 500 trillion unified reformed dubloons☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: presumably has, or will use, then -- write.
asciilifeform: it did not even occur to me that chukcha is a writer and not a reader, and has not used
asciilifeform: douchebag: this is not miserable american school . shoot first; ask questions second. make a vtron. if its function diverges in some way from previous vtrons, you will a) notice b) find out why c ) then, ~maybe~ later ask others, if cannot determine solution on your own
asciilifeform: trinque: i can readily see that you have not yet condemned , aha
asciilifeform: i dun see any reason to think that he is incurable.
asciilifeform: shinohai, trinque : as i understand, d00d is a kid, and really oughta be beaten with wooden stick, and only after this fails, with spiked iron stick.
asciilifeform: d00d gotta cure himself first, of the headcockroaches
asciilifeform: shinohai: naaah, see, not 'responsibledisclosure' is it nao.
