asciilifeform: mmap is 1 of the few nice things in linux , lets you e.g. map a 1tb segment and store as file, and will actually 'sparse' store etc.
asciilifeform: lets you have e.g. the trb indexer thing, as ordinary array, etc
asciilifeform: observe that 'M' knows when the end of its life comes, and gets synced to disk (if applicable , i.e. was mapped r/w) and properly cleaned up, without any such abortion as a 'free' statement a la c
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 16:05 asciilifeform: but in very unrelated lulz, https://archive.is/bON1p >> 'It’s a bit absurd that a modern gaming machine running at 4,000x the speed of an apple 2, with a CPU that has 500,000x as many transistors (with a GPU that has 2,000,000x as many transistors) can maybe manage the same latency as an apple 2 in very carefully coded applications if we have a monitor with nearly 3x the refresh rate.'
asciilifeform: esp. when iron is big enuff that folx fall into the sin of perceiving cpu cycles & bytes of ram as 'infinite' and phree
mircea_popescu: thus you don't really want a compiler as much as you want a (very narrowly) meta-assembler.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-22 15:11 diana_coman: it was more of a confusion/mess rather than real problem as such
mircea_popescu: in the end, "the smart don't like the intelligent" is the exact male equiv of ye female http://trilema.com/2016/the-pedoepiphany/ ; or in the immortal words of http://trilema.com/2014/millers-crossing/ " You are so goddamn smart. Except you ain't. I get you, smart guy. I know what you are. Straight as a corkscrew. Mr. Inside-Outski, like some goddamn Bolshevik picking up his orders from Yegg Central. You think you're so godda
mircea_popescu: in short, mathematical (and to a large degree scientific, viz physics etc) education in the warsaw pact place-and-time degenerated into a trope of fiction. which is why "science fiction" was so loved in those parts of the world as opposed to anywhere else.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's quite a few ( or at least in asciilifeform's time, were ) 'olympiad' problems which are simply chinese-style 'do you know the classics' masquerading as olympiad problems
mircea_popescu: in a sense, this is ~as much as we presently know~ of a ~perfect v tree".
mircea_popescu: so in truth we dunno, and as of yet we're not in a splendid position to guess yet, either.
asciilifeform: the rule will include a constant, and that constant is at most as big as the prime itself
asciilifeform: depends on 'benefits' neh. you can express any 'divisibility test' as a gcd with fixed param.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-17 06:41 mircea_popescu: The apparent murder of journalist Ahmed Divela is chilling. Ghana is recognized by many, including me, as a vibrant, strong democracy and an example for the continent in many ways. " meanwhile in related lulz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun like to 'power ranger' ( as you called it in old essay ) a problem.
asciilifeform: ( mass-wise, apache is considerably closer to the mass of e.g. gcc, than trb ; but on other hand seems to need less massage as it is, as mircea_popescu fond of pointing out, it largely worx )
mircea_popescu: item as pristine out of box has a dozen or so dimensions and subdimensions that hafta be fit into place, it's not ~really~ pret a porter (chiefly because one selling "all purpose cloth" can't sell it pre-cut)
asciilifeform: btw does mircea_popescu have a apache tarball to sign ('as found') and share for cuntoo etc, a la gpg-1.4 ?
asciilifeform: ( exactly as gcc is the only presently-working general-purpose c compiler, etc )
a111: Logged on 2019-01-07 19:29 mircea_popescu: i suppose in this the model breaks down, with the advent of pseudo"technology", the shy withdrawing type can "HackerCombat LLC is a news site, which acts as a source of information for IT security professionals across the world.

mircea_popescu: kernel, the functional core of it anyways, upon which all these entirely worthless http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-21#1888849 slash http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-17#1887990 attention whores are hoping to base their wholly imaginary "careers" and http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-07#1885512 etc, is about same vintage and about same quality as apache. ☝︎☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: as for asciilifeform currently , sweating out a proper proof of correctness for m-r . ( subj of ch. 16 ). after that, will remain to add iteration to ffacalc; then , keccak.
diana_coman: but so uhm, it builds with a main fine but it fails if you try to build it as a lib - why?
diana_coman: hm; earlier I used "standalone" as "standalone lib" because there is such a thing: it means precisely that it includes ada run-time
diana_coman: asciilifeform, what do you mean by "build as standalone"?
asciilifeform: ( when built as standalone, rather than lib, it builds and functions as specified)
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )
diana_coman: it was more of a confusion/mess rather than real problem as such ☟︎
diana_coman: yes! I can link it static, I can link it dynamically, I can even build it all as a monolithic piece
asciilifeform: if you want bounds checks, gotta put them explicitly, if want something like sane treatment of memory, ditto, yer proggy will have ten tonnes of explicit memory management crapola in it ( which had better contain 0 mistake, because the lang happily ignores mistake and demolishes houses, cars, dogs, as it bulldozes into random direction) etc
diana_coman: C/CPP also known as "half a million"
asciilifeform: ( with a working gossipd -- the ordinary net becomes less interesting, can treat it as a lossy channel like radio.. )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-22#1889096 << nah, it loses for reasons unrelated to bw. was given as example of geographically-long link with ok bw simply. ☝︎
BingoBoingo suspects the speed of inter US ip traffic is as good a reason as any to route around US
mircea_popescu: dnc also works for as long as it doesn'thave to, and god knows the us army is built on that doctrine.

BingoBoingo: But yes, to answer http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-16#1725706 Netflix and the handful of Youtube videos that get watched exactly work as a couch in local endpoint's DC or point of presence ☝︎
asciilifeform: fwiw simply rejecting tcp won't do the trick, you also gotta not allocate state for udp ( all extant routers, afaik, do.. but e.g. s.mg protocol and similar, will operate entirely correctly without this, as i understand it )
BingoBoingo: Poking suggests otherwise. It's a reverse proxy. It can be deployed as a webserver and people deploy it as that, but it was designed around a different job.
BingoBoingo: After spending substantial time as a skeptic apache beats the "smarter" alternatives (lighttpd, nginx, cherokee, etc)to apache
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not nearly as serious a problem in apache as you seem to think.
mircea_popescu: one could also say "there's not THAT MANY PEOPLE, and if there are they can sure as fuck wait". which, also fine.
mircea_popescu: and otherwise, the server actually spits out in excess of 2k pageloads / s, as a matter of actuarial evidence.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cycles/s or ram bytes about as meaningful in this discussion, might as well ask "how much free memory". no such thing, really.
mircea_popescu: atm eg doing ~220 connections / .1s sorta thing. the problem's the would-be attackers output capacity, not some kind of limit on trilema side. it'll serve as much as dood can send through.
mircea_popescu: as exemplified by the point in case.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thing is roughly like trb - can throw iron at it until it eats the desired reqs/sec without shitting self. but, just as in trb, it's a barbaric/empirical ritual, quite impossible to say 'on napkin' how much cpu will yield what # of what kB pg served /sec w.out falling
asciilifeform: the folx who shat out apache & co., i suspect were at least as aggressively retarded as koch.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as per http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-20#1888551 ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-21#1888953 << imho all the roman langs count as 1!111 (ditto germans; slavs; etc) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: sooo... while the right-honourable ingredients involved sit for a moment in a bowl to make friends with each other, allow me to describe for posterity what is right and properly known as "the despration breakfast".
asciilifeform: re eulora -- occurred to asciilifeform to wonder, does the thing actually demand the 3d card ? or could just as readily polygonize with cpu
mircea_popescu: as per ye olde omnibus->autobus broken etymologyu tradition.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-19 16:04 mircea_popescu: and we can keep going, but you get the idea. russians had managed to make themselves as impopular as humanly possible with the ~only martial neighbour it had at the time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i entirely agree, as consequence of the 'abuse' asciilifeform never once 'fretted' about languages
mircea_popescu: o wait -- did i say two negatives ? i meant "help as to hinder".
asciilifeform had nfi as 5yo, but his folx's plot to move , incl. destination, was already in motion then
mircea_popescu: it's amusing, if one takes a dispassionate look, how equally likely to hurt as to hinder are parental best intentions.
asciilifeform as 5yo was already sweating, filling exercise boox

mircea_popescu: and of course there's "dominate" as a fucking noun. "she's a dominate".
mircea_popescu: nah. back in the day they used to spell "rogue" (the high fantasy playable character, right ?) as "rouge", notwithstanding they spoke no french or anything
asciilifeform: 'extract of footstool' approx. i.e. 'this tastes as if it were made from old furniture'
asciilifeform: ( of same type as dulap-iii and the s.mg machines )
asciilifeform: hm i thought they could only grow where a similarly-porcine mother lives as 'office plankton' and prevents contact w/ reality
asciilifeform: i had nfi the species is found as far south as mircea_popescustan
mircea_popescu: as it is... i dunno, i suspect they'll starve, orange man doesn't seem inclined to continue the slop.
mircea_popescu: so i guess i switched historical priviledge for social priviledge as i aged.
mircea_popescu: i do recall in youth was a lot less selective/priviledged, whichever way you look at it ; but somehow inexplicably stupidity not nearly as organised or militant in same youth. i mean, fuck, girls back then were ASHAMED to sit with the mainstream, jesus fuck.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this particular one entirely unfuckable, tiny tits an' a belly. but in general, idiots have ~no chance of making it through anyway, so can't say as i have.
asciilifeform: as i understand, usg dept. of wunderwaffen hasn't given'em robo-cranes yet, at that pt
asciilifeform: even as late as '90s lab folx had to be beaten with a stick to get'em to stop mouth-pipetting, etc
asciilifeform: on a few occasions i had to go to where it was done. power supply cable as thick as my thigh.
mircea_popescu: your head will fall out through your arsehole if you attempt to meaningfully interact with something as large as to make that thing collapse into degenerate matter through a "3d visor" color interferer thingee.
mircea_popescu: to protest its carnality is as protesting cunt's sliminess. it's "unwieldy" specifically because it works well.
asciilifeform as a boy built the classic toy boat from tin can and soldered ballpoint pen tune (the iron kind), add a camp stove pellet and a++ 'pulse jet'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff, decent quality konsoomer '3d visor' appeared , i got one as a gift not long ago. but i dun do chemical models any moar, and so no constructive use for it any moar
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: y'know, neural net, the thing that classifies pig as 'porn' etc. i'm even willing to believe that the chip worx to spec. not magic by any means, 1970s tech sitting on modern ic
mircea_popescu: ~same utility as quantum computers, as far as i know.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only "revived" as a money sucker, afaik deployments still on off the shelf micro
mircea_popescu: in principle, for as long as that's not run out, the disk won't lose sectors. but then again, a definitive answer to this turns into debug-ssd-fw+kernel, which...
bvt: aha, i see. this would also involve lots function call inlining as well
asciilifeform: just as you can de-recursivize the karatsuba etc
asciilifeform: nao, it isn't as if the current ffa, with 2.7sec 4096-bit modexp, is immediately usable to eat packets at line rate. but that part at least theoretically parallelizes ( i.e. a rack fulla multicore boxen running ffa, can theoretically eat packets at line rate... )
asciilifeform: ftr i suspect that entirely ordinary algos, such as are seen in the current ffa, would already give ~line-rate~ (i.e. , 4096 modexp faster than 1G/s nic can give you new inputs to modexp on ) if implemented in iron properly.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-20 16:23 asciilifeform: as i noted previously -- i do not expect to find any moar ~asymptotic~ speedups for ffa algos , such that are relevant to the sizes of numbers typically used in public key crypto
mircea_popescu: -reindex rebuilds the index as expected. fin.
asciilifeform: note that the 'cube' observation only applies if you're going for a single-clock-cycle iron multer. otherwise it grows as square of bitness.
bvt: my understanding is that asmism would go only for lower-level ffa code, i.e. barret/modexp will remain as-is.
asciilifeform: as i noted previously -- i do not expect to find any moar ~asymptotic~ speedups for ffa algos , such that are relevant to the sizes of numbers typically used in public key crypto ☟︎
asciilifeform: bvt: comba itself ended up on the list of things that made it in by very small margin ( it wins perhaps 10%, on most pc iron , vs straight word*word mul as base case, try it yourself by turning the threshhold knob )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-20#1888467 << gotta nitpick here: it aint allocations (which in ffa planet are always done by stack frame, in O(1) ) that leads to slow, but cache eviction ( as well as linear overhead from doing moar ops in general ) ☝︎
bvt: as far as code speed is concerned, i still don't know whether i fucked up something, or the algorithm is fundamentally slow after some bignum size
BingoBoingo: Well Orange Man is supposed to give a speech sometime today. Maybe it'll be the orders to deploy them as southern border sandbags to fight Sinaloa/Zeta/Etc
mircea_popescu: far as cuckold itself, it seems to be more niche than it was say 5 years ago. Why is that? I'm seeing this stag/vixen thing being mentioned a lot more when I read websites. I didn't even know that was a thing?").
