mircea_popescu: decimation: usg is
the unintentional beneficiary of a great deal of "I want
to make a difference" altruism << so no, it's not altruism. unrelated
to
that,
there's a lot of "usg is
the only obvious recipient for a bunch of faking of
the <i want
to not have sex but for everyone in school
to
think i do> sort."
mircea_popescu: ownership is a convention, meaningless outside
the convenants.
mircea_popescu: who claims
to own it... whatever, im sure
the fish acting as host for whatever parasite's obligate fish phase are "owned" by someone, at least according
to
them.
mircea_popescu: in spite of
there being numerous posters in full view saying "by
traipsing around here you agree
to blablabla"
mircea_popescu: decimation: what I find inexplicable is
that you find folks in
the us who absolutely hate everything about usg policies, in
terms of how it mismanages wealth, fails
to jail criminals, etc, and yet are willing
to serve
the military side <<< similarly,
the wild animals
that hate everything about
the government will still
traipse around on "government property"
kakobrekla: would you like
to have your own folder
kakobrekla: i plan
to put some stuff
there myself, such as log dump etc
mircea_popescu: "the Russians are from
three
to five years ahead of
the US in
the field of atomic aircraft engines and
they will move even further ahead unless
the US pressed forward with its own program"
gribble: What do you
think I am, a shell?
ben_vulpes: <MolokoDesk> i may use SQLite instead of mySQL eventuall. <<
try postgres if ye've yet
to. nicely done db.

there are
two versions of
the lenat story
mircea_popescu: i was like "let others hit it first ill go later
to not herdkil
the server"
assbot: Logged on 26-09-2014 00:53:22; mircea_popescu: email ill put on
trilema
mircea_popescu: anyway, ru version of ed reads like mostly adult male, as opposed
to mostly preteen female.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am notorious for
taking more
than one pass
through
the material
to grok it, more
than one set of lips on
the
tool
to spill it etc.

mircea_popescu: ou don't read
trilema or any other venue where people who know more
than you are likely
to call you and your friends idiots.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: lol
that
turd reads like it was a 'mad libs' product <<
three steps
to
take
to avoid making any sort of meaningful change : a) stick
to obama &
the libertard's mickey mouse version of "change" ; b) pretend like disaster is unlikely and so
the possibility can be safely ignored while it's not happened yet ; pretend it's "overwhelming" as so best ignored as it happens and shortly
thereafter ; c) make sure y

mircea_popescu: "that's where
the limit on interaction debit first became apparent"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: as far as anyone can
tell - equal
to 'c' <<<
the idea being
that "the speed of light" is not "of light" in any sense other
than
the champagne is champagne
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell MolokoDesk anyway,
the ideal here is
to have everything in order
to i can put
the various sept reports on it.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> what is rms holding in
the photo? <<
toe jam?
mircea_popescu: why am i even reading
this crap, jpg "signatures" and no comment section for crying out loud.
mircea_popescu: "If
the country can continue operating as smoothly as it does for another year, I'll be surprised." << you can
tell casey research his bet is on.
mircea_popescu: ahahaah epic. "every fifth opponent was a cross between a
tank with a watchtower and every previous boss"
dignork: mircea_popescu: on a concept level lurkmore is a copy of encyclopedia dramatica, but
they do much better job imho
☟︎ MolokoDesk: yeah,
there's a pending item stuck in
the queue because it missed (probably) it's block.
MolokoDesk: moving
this
to python was an intention eventually,
that make electrum seem more sensible.
dignork: alternatively, just hack out
the part
talking
to electrum servers, few pages of python code
MolokoDesk: also I'd be setting up binary buffers and cryptosigning
them and all
that. it's a chore.
MolokoDesk: it makes it hard
to move if it has
to co-reside with electrum.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk nah i don't
think it's all
that desirable. ideally no dependencies etc.
MolokoDesk: I have fallback capability in
the bot but it's not active. I can
track with
two different website APIs.
there's only one wallet, but more can be added.
MolokoDesk: the less reliance on 3rd party APIs
the better in most cases.
MolokoDesk: electrum is
the gold standard for
this sort of
thing (pun intended) but
that's a serious dev/admin/maintenance
thing on
this end. If I had electrum RPC already at
the start of
this I may have done it
that way. it's still on
the desirable
things
to do list.
mircea_popescu: dignork it also happens
to be
the correct way
to handle
this.
the "wallet" nonsense still boggles my mind.
MolokoDesk: the risk now is
that someone will nab
the name.
MolokoDesk: oh, are you going
to register deedBot with WoT or should I do
that or, leave it indeterminate. I can export
the keys and give you a copy.
mircea_popescu: the
txid instead of block height ;
the queing of gribble requests
MolokoDesk: any mid-course corrections other
than so far?
MolokoDesk: well, unless we can break it some more
today... I can get on
this. I've been up rather a while
today.
MolokoDesk: I
think starting from last deed bot would load
things down some, doable, but deeds may only be coming in every 6 hours.
MolokoDesk: ok. I need
to
tighten a few
things up in deedBot. It's possible
that's going
to run into October.
MolokoDesk: scanning back would allow
the
tracking interval
to be longer
than a minute or 5
MolokoDesk: sure. I was considering looking for block height increments of more
than 1 and
then scanning back. alternatively, scan backwards
to
the first block with a date before
the incoming file creation date.
MolokoDesk: etiolation due
to low light. also cactus seedlings have cotyledons like most other dicots.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk
these freakishly fast blocks happen a lot actually.
MolokoDesk: I may have
to
track back
to detect block inclusion in
that case.
mircea_popescu: so if anyone knows anything about growing cactuses, get back
to me. i got a
tiny something, which i believe is armatocereus godingianus. he seems happy enough and is growing, but
the shoots are all spindly. ie,
the base like 6 strands each an inch
thick, each shot
this inch long, 1/8th of an inch wide
things.
MolokoDesk: deedBot is sniffing
the
top block once 60 seconds. if a freakishly fast block mining event happens back
to back it could miss
the inclusion in
the block.
punkman: I suspected "smooth" as
the most common adjective in ratings
MolokoDesk: queue is more robust against various other collision events. I intend
to queue incomings.
punkman: if
there's a lot of volume, best
to keep local copy of OTC database
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk ok. if gribble can grant deedBot unlimited requests
thats
the solution. <<
that's not
the solution yet. it wil be
the solution once we process a lot of volume. atm
the soluition is
to queue.
MolokoDesk: it hasn't appeared on
the main blockchain yet.
MolokoDesk: ok. if gribble can grant deedBot unlimited requests
thats
the solution.
MolokoDesk: so I already have
to pace and sequence
the request
to gribble.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk can always jus get an exception ; always a great idea
to only ask for exceptions when you need
them
MolokoDesk: for example,
the information about which KEYID or NICK you're asking about disappears if it's not found in WoT. Gribble just says not found
there.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla some people like
to work, unlike slovens :D
MolokoDesk: yeah, I wasn't going
to suggest any mods
to gribble even if nanotube would do
them because everyone else's stuff would stop working.
mircea_popescu: in general
the 60 minutes of a block would currently
take a maximum of 720 deeds at
that rate. unless we're actually processing 500...
MolokoDesk: an incoming URL queue is
the most reasonable.
MolokoDesk: there's no appeal against
that. I'll have
to pace requests by any of various methods.
MolokoDesk: gribble bans anyone for 5 minutes if
they make more
than 12 requests in a 60 second interval.
that probably happened while deedBot wasn't voice.
MolokoDesk: I'm retaining
the microsecond
timestamps of gribble requests and
their fulfillment so... I can implement a
timeout reset if gribble dies.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: prayer mill ? << shit boys,
there you go revealing supersecret eulora later game content ;/
MolokoDesk: the gribble dialog is
the gnarliest part.
