mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: interest, value... <<
the problem with using op's blockchain is
that you're basically
trusting
the op
chetty: hahahaha I just saw what has
to be
the funniest
traffic snarl ever.
The
train barrier on one side is stuck and cars/busses/trucks backed up as far as
the eye can see. But its a one way street and
the other side is wide open, nothing stoppping people just drive
to
the left ...
assbot: Apologies
to anyone who read my posts last night!
BingoBoingo: Zimmerman was also a Hispanic Jew so also kind of on
the minority spectrum, also not a police officer.
cazalla: BingoBoingo,
think it'll be bad?
they only smashed a few
things after zimmerman was found not guilty
assbot: Nixon
tries
to reassure public, as people prepare for
the worst : News
BingoBoingo: It's better
than getting arrested in Silk Road scam
cazalla: well i suffer from
this problem
that i have 1, which is good, so 2 must be great, 3 is awesome and
that's
that
jurov: dunno what is with all
the drinking in
this chan
cazalla: i'll re-read
tmw when sober
jurov: i don't
think it's bad, just..idk, maybe someone else can pinpoint it better
jurov: which clarifies
things
cazalla: well, not much else one can add with something like
that, his
talk isn't online so difficult
to know what else he said
cazalla: jurov, do you
think
the qntra article is bad?
jurov: i read
the source,
too and
this chuckleworthy info was snuck in
the end:
cazalla: i'm sure it will make sense
then
cazalla: "Much of
the money will go directly
to foundries with
the highest
technology in
the world, including Samsung, Intel and
TSMC"
jurov: and
then "oh he's just yapping alone"
cazalla: well why not? he speaks in
the name of bitcoin
jurov: first i was wtf, vessesnes is speaking in
the nme of samsung?
jurov: cazalla i had
to rerad it several
times
assbot: Peter Vessenes: Half A Billion Dollars
To Be Spent On ASICs Over 18 Months | Qntra.net
cazalla: scoopbot once again will not get
the scoop
jurov: ben_vulpes asciilifeform, others: when are you going
to send your patches in expected format?
jurov: <mircea_popescu> [20141112 05:22] either
they stole openssh code (unlikely) << not openssh but openssL. as it is under BSD,
they're free
to do whatever wit it.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: yes, it serves someone wanting
to jack off just fine, because nobody needs
three hours of video
to rub one out <<<
tell
that
to
the people
that
take 3 hours
to find
the ideal clip for
that session
ben_vulpes: is
there any interest in sharing a pre-wedge blockchain built by 0.5.3 around?
mircea_popescu: "Microsoft's advisory said
there are no mitigating factors and no workarounds for
the bug."
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: congratulate
the author
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
to my eyes it reads like, "this is what
they wanted", "openssh is
the best implementation of it
they managed
to get before
the whole
thing got shot in
the head"
mircea_popescu: either
they stole openssh code (unlikely) or
the
thing was actually usg-mandated (which in some interpretations is one step above what we already knew, ie sponsored)
mircea_popescu: "A failure
to properly filter specially formed packets makes it possible for attackers
to execute attack code of
their choosing by sending malicious
traffic
to a Windows-based server." << sounds like windows had a replica of heartbleed.
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
the plan is promising because it engenders familiarity with
the damned
thing.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> ben_vulpes: what if
the 'wedging' were caused by some dependency (memory leak, etc)? <<
this is undoubtedly
the case for at least some wedgings
BingoBoingo: Refresh, someone found
the old door,
time for a new door
assbot: Potentially catastrophic bug bites all versions of Windows. Patch now | Ars
Technica
decimation: nevertheless,
there is at least some chance
that your experiment will reveal something interesting
decimation: not because
the issue has been solved but merely because of a new arrangement in memory
decimation: sure, but it is at least possible
that is stomping on
the code in such a way
that it doesn't work in one version, but
then works in another
ben_vulpes: would
the libraries not be held constant between bisections?
decimation: if something is stomping on something in
those libraries it could be quite subtle
decimation: I guess my point is
that if something external
to
the
turd participates in
the 'wedging'
then
the bisect plan won't really work
ben_vulpes: there is much contrast in
the implications of
these statements.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> not directly a cause of
the wedge
though
decimation: ben_vulpes: what if
the 'wedging' were caused by some dependency (memory leak, etc)?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: were i
to use a chain slightly downstream of
the wedging
to start
the process, would
that be less unlikely
to work?
ben_vulpes: well
then shit i should copy
this datadir while its yet unwedged
ben_vulpes: if i'm not being clear, i plan
to clobber
the data dir on each run.
ben_vulpes: one for copying into
the dir, one for launching from.
ben_vulpes: if yes, mark as good with git bisect and proceed with binary search, repeating
the above process until
the unwedging commit is discovered.
ben_vulpes: this script will
take
the wedged blockchain on disk; copy it into
the
testing dir; compile bitcoind from a different point in
the source
tree; and boot it pointed at
the wedged blockchain; and check
to see if
the output of 'bitcoind getblockcount' has gone up
ben_vulpes: my plan at
the moment is
to wait for my 0.5.3 binary
to wedge itself, and
then write a script
that hooks into
the git 'bisect'
tool.
ben_vulpes: on an entirely different
topic, i'd like
to derp in public about bisection in hunt of
the commits
that unwedged 0.5.3
assbot: PeterL, have you seen
the movie 'being john malkovich'?
ben_vulpes: things about ios 8
that drive me insane
PeterL: assbot: you know
they put lactose in lactase pills <<< wth assbot?
assbot: you know
they put lactose in lactase pills
joecool: i
told her
this
too, she never had an issue with aged cheeses
nubbins`: i mean, old cheddar doesn't have much lactose
to begin with.
nubbins`: lactose-free dairy stuff is more common
these days
nubbins`: asciilifeform actually knows a fellow who lost lactose digestion as adult <<<
this happened
to my wife
nubbins`: currently using a couple of cookie sheets, but
they slide around
nubbins`: anyone know if you can carry money in a regular wheelbarrow or do
they make ones w/ nets
to keep
the cash from blowing away?
PeterL: by
the way, I added code
to scoopbot, now if he disconnects he should reconnect, hopefully
this will keep him running
assbot: imgur:
the simple image sharer
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform afaik,
the fermentation makes it accessible
to wussies
mircea_popescu: maybe
they should start small, give
the bright kids
there lightbulbs
mircea_popescu: joecool i was just keeping his hands
to
the coals on
the
technicality of it. "retaining milk digestion past childood is a recent adaptation" etc.
joecool: <ben_vulpes> upregulation and downregulation is a
thing < it's funny how many people forget
this
mircea_popescu: this given, how long would it have
taken some bored kids in central asia ?
mircea_popescu: mares literally love being suckled, and will love you if you suckle
them
