jurov: Mr. Dimitri Khalezov is an important researcher and witness to the 9/11 event. In fact, he was a nuclear intelligence officer in the former Soviet Union. He testifies that WTC 1, 2 and 7 were demolished by three underground thermonuclear devices during the 9/11 event. As a matter of fact, there were large cavities found at ground zero (point of nuclear explosion in all English dictionaries printed prior to 2002) and tens of thousands of first
jurov: The King of Thailand has been dead since about the end of 2008. The current King of Thailand is a fake one.

thestringpuller: ^- doesn't she do that already?
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> something tells me that block downloading and peer selection is an important thing to look at in the next few arbitrary time units. << that something is athena riding a flaming shield. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> did not like mathematics. << this guy is a cryptologist that didn't like coding or math.
asciilifeform: if converges >>> then just as mircea_popescu said.
mircea_popescu: big fucken deal, if product ends up being "spend $12 and three hours of your time following these instructions. if you have prior chain, you have node right off. if not, you have node in a month"
ben_vulpes: my thanks for your valuable insights.
ben_vulpes: anyways, i'm off for the eve.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: kinda what i'm thinking
asciilifeform: (negotiate torrent-like loader, if can do - do; if cannot - fallback to classic)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im just in favour of actually testing
asciilifeform: block downloading is almost certainly fated to be 'embraced and extended' by a sane implementation
ben_vulpes: something tells me that block downloading and peer selection is an important thing to look at in the next few arbitrary time units.
asciilifeform: if you recall, bitcoin is not 'bittorrent' and does not make use of the multitude of nodes known to it at a given moment for fetching the blockchain
ben_vulpes: how fast does that number go up?
asciilifeform: (and slowly grinds to a halt prior to doing so)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu appears to favour releasing the thing sitting now on my desk - a 0.5.3.1 that continuously reboots
asciilifeform: (mike_c tried it)
asciilifeform: if you discard all of them - never syncs.
ben_vulpes: so what's the plan? backport the magic 750 or discard all ahistoric blocks?
ben_vulpes: yeah, that's a steamer.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] asciilifeform as i said before, it's a kudge to fix another kludge. we don't really wnat any of it. << what was the first kludge?
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] mike_c: or anywhere else afaik. << http://www.listafirme.ro/polimedia-srl-22530016/ << well that's damned interesting
BingoBoingo: Too many lulz to number right
asciilifeform: if disk is involved he can now have you grind to a permanent halt
ben_vulpes: i also appreciate your willingness to beat sense into my skull.
asciilifeform: since by definition there is no way to verify these blocks
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if you store these, anywhere, you set yourself up for shitburial
asciilifeform: merely toilet that is never flushed, but continuously shat in
ben_vulpes: okay but to play devils advocate for a moment theoy could be dumped into the db were it used sanely
asciilifeform: so it isn't a memory leak in the traditional sense
ben_vulpes: i guess the subquestion would be is b) even practical
asciilifeform: thus it is doomed to die after snarfing up sufficiently many of these.
asciilifeform: you can't do anything with them, except a) discard b) store in hope of gluing the chain together later
asciilifeform: that is, anything that sails in for which you don't have an immediate ancestory
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] felipelalli: asciilifeform: your engine is pretty smart, thank you. :) <<< mmm win :D << once again i get no credit for the setup
ben_vulpes: what praytell then are they?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the 'orphan blocks' in question have nothing whatsoever to do with the usual definition ☟︎
ben_vulpes: omg it strikes me that there isn't a blocktree visualizer that i'm aware of
ben_vulpes: anyways asciilifeform how does the backported orphan-pruning situation handle the full tree?
assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 05:35:15; mircea_popescu: welcome the filth that is practical bitcoin into your heart, ascii
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-01-2015#998143 << for srs, asciilifeform. you'll want proofs of correctness and haskell-grade type systems next. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: it's pathetic i tell ya
assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 05:31:31; mircea_popescu: "hey, do you suppose this is work ?"
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-01-2015#998118 << constant refrain in fiatcorp: "no billing for poops! this isn't accenture." ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 05:21:43; danielpbarron: that assassin thing was the best part of the whole week, besides poker of course
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-01-2015#998091 << danielpbarron i require details of this assasination ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 05:09:29; asciilifeform: i just began live-fire test of the first really dangerous patch
ben_vulpes: mats: today you automate, tomorrow you order the automation
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: aha. << am i on the right track or did i skim logs in too light of detail
mats: cool. rewriting the code for bitbet audit so it'll be worthy of publication this year.
ben_vulpes: anyways, mircea_popescu, relativism is for the birds.
mircea_popescu: mats and on top of that, you can reuse addresses for as long as the bet didn't close.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the wretch was ordered to use only systems fully compatible with traditional usg spyware used on such occasions
kakobrekla: mats try adding "?json" at end of url and see if anything happens
ben_vulpes: and that hardly counts as a requirement
mircea_popescu: yes but what were they ?
kakobrekla: well that hardly counts as api
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla was there some json ?
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] ^ condemned to pay infinite fine, and to use only microshit << i don't see the m$ requirement
mircea_popescu: absolutism's for the birds.
ben_vulpes: absolute terms
ben_vulpes: <jurov> [] i'll say more later << tenterhooks am i on
asciilifeform: identifiable crock o'shit; arguably an advance over the entirely enigmatic sort
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: dunno i think i've been covered in both more shit and more blood than on that day
mircea_popescu: or with the thought that you were never filthier than the day you were born.
asciilifeform: the one takeaway is that the cause of oomkill damnation in 0.5.3 can no longer be regarded as mysterious
ben_vulpes: console yourself with the reality that life is a filthy entropic process
asciilifeform: feeling very much dirtied by the dirt
mircea_popescu: the peasant loved the czar specifically for this reason.
mircea_popescu: the peasant did not fear the czar will come and fuck his daughter.
asciilifeform: but the basic dread of the state, by peasant, is similar
mircea_popescu: well then.
mircea_popescu: every last us residing cockroach has seen obama THIS WEEK
mircea_popescu: think of it this way : most russian peasants as late as 1800 had never seen the czar.
mircea_popescu: if it worked, more by accident than anything.
asciilifeform: the khan rides from town to town, has squad in tow with stake
mircea_popescu: the computer has a lot to do with this, it's a quantum leap in the possibilities of bureaucracy.
mircea_popescu: nah, no mechanised ways to handle it,
asciilifeform: what of ancient despotisms, with the public impaler, etc. - did not want to be at the stellar configuration center ?
mircea_popescu: well, that quickly gets iffy.
asciilifeform: this is a very sharp observation, but is it unique to the modern state?
mircea_popescu: which is why i am not ever giving it up. the freedom to threaten is not merely my fundamental, unassailable sovereign property, but moreover essential for the construction of effectual instruments to squash the socialists and their golums. ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
