asciilifeform: 'Now, as soon as I looked at this device I already had a really bad feeling. First of all, through the vent holes on the top I could see that the PCB inside took up ~25% of the footprint of the device, the case was considerably larger than the PCB inside it, which seemed odd. Second, the MAC address on the bottom looked familiar, really familiar. Putting that little thought to the back of my mind I cracked open the case by removing t
asciilifeform: hard to say, too far departed from what i see as human form
asciilifeform: dun prove anything, either way. if mircea_popescu tells me that they exist -- i'ma believe.
asciilifeform: i dunno that i've ever even seen, with own eyes, a ~fat~ old woman.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but you need something to judge on. otherwise what you're saying is "on the basis of all the dogs i've seen, elephant is as canine as caniche", ie, http://trilema.com/2017/zuleika-dobson-or-an-proper-love-story/#footnote_10_71892
asciilifeform: i haven't yet been to pripyat, either; or to fukushima; or to st. quentin prison; etc.
asciilifeform: can't say that i have, or desperately burning with urgency to.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-27#1648477 << i dun think this 'equality' nonsense exists, or ever existed, as anything other than a ~professed~ belief among the rotters. nobody actually buys it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't so much care whether the goldman sachs attempt worked or didn't work. i very much care that juju worship be socially unacceptable.
mircea_popescu: seeing how the only graduation paper i reviewed was "entrepreneurship as a succession of pictures of faces" as opposed to "entrepreneurship modeled as a banach algebra"...
mircea_popescu: in my experience there's two major demographics interested in the business school, one being kids who could master physics but do not wish to because they'd much rather live with a half dozen whores than with a labful of mice ; the other being girlies who could not actually master poledance who figure they should not have to try anwyay and live out their whole lives as mediocre strippers because reasons ("i'm smart! everyone
mircea_popescu: i expect the cr business ~students~ insist, because by the looks of them they REALLY need the easy credits.
lobbes: I wonder if CR businezz schools also force their students to take 'environmental responsibility' courses like in usia
mircea_popescu: i guess i reconstructed the http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170427/from:34/to:46#34 format on the basis of logs. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: Framedragger so how do i get the interval set up in your logotron ? i clicked on a date and got the #34 added. but the dot is not clickable so i can't close the interval. wut do ?
mircea_popescu: i bet.
mircea_popescu: i last saw snow like five years ago
mod6: i've seen it snow on June 1st here few years ago.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-27#1648429 << somehow they're married to this idea that people will continue interacting with the apes. i have no idea why this is so deeply entrenched, but let's just say it's entirely nonsense. ☝︎
asciilifeform: in not-quite-noose, https://archive.is/6deIg >> 'When I take a good hard look at what the world will be like in 10 years, I think most things are going to be on lease' ☟︎
mod6: i think there's a knuth quote somewhere about know where the 3% of the code is that is performance-significant 'optimize that, not everything'.
asciilifeform: e.g. i got bignumatron core down to ~500ln, and this is without any 'cleverness' or 'idiomatic' liquishit.
mod6: I appreciate TMSR's patience while I dealt with these other irl things.
mod6: I've been meaning all month to get to do some ticket reorg for trb. I'm still going to try to it this week here.
mod6: today i bought lunch for me & perf lady today. $22.50.
shinohai: Dammit, I know I got my nursing degree in here somewhere: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-YmRkuWsAAjlXF.jpg
mod6: trinque: werd. and from what I can tell, because of the nursing unions etc, they basically run the place now.
mod6: that was the only time that I needed to give someone a piece of my mind.
mod6: i stayed pretty pro throughout the entire affair, actually.
mod6: mircea_popescu: lol, no. i did't have to hurt anybody or anything. i just lost my cool.
trinque: mod6: every narcissistic whore I ever knew in highschool went into nursing school, just about
mod6: a nurse was browbeating me about a bunch of shit... and then I just went off the deep end.
mod6: but not until i basically lost my marbles about the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: mod6 no, i think they're on top of that. pretty sure i saw pet hospice advertised.
mod6: you know the damnable misery of the whole thing? i woudln't have let my dog go through the same suffering.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i can see what you mean.
mircea_popescu: i will note that chicago is terrible market, badly developed. las vegas is hugely oversupplied, you can get terrifying deals (if they know you)
mod6: Ladies and Gentlemen, I just don't know. Mr. Popescu has it, we were lucky. And it feels like such a shitty, actually, horrible way to have to feel about such a damn tragedy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i liked 'palmer house', ~same rate. gilded age relic.
mircea_popescu: i just got a bunch, so you happen to have hit hot cache.
mod6: Anyway, i shake my head. I mentioned it during the whole thing a month or so ago. It was total chaos at best.
mircea_popescu: 20k a month, i mean.
mircea_popescu: from what i hear it's actuallyh on the mend, was significantly worse cca 2000s, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: got lucky, i'd say.
trinque: well that's the whole thing, as I see it
mircea_popescu: i don't think i've ever seen a jurisdiction where oncology beds weren't short. ever.
mod6: the entire thing i went through in the last 90 days just affirms to me how truly fucked up this shit is.
mircea_popescu: do hookers pay their own way ? subquestion : i know this woman who pays a dude to rent from her, and also has to suck him off. is she paying her way ?
mod6: i'd have killed her myself if they'd let me.
mod6: well, i only use that as an exception
shinohai: BingoBoingo: I'd say publish for now on personal blog, will republish on new site when I get the kinks out.
mircea_popescu: "these here bears have the fighting spirit, i want to be great warrior, i worship bear totem"
shinohai: BingoBoingo: I am. Still in research phase though :/
BingoBoingo: I dun think anyone gave Oregon as it presently exists much hope for much mercy when The Great Again comes
mod6: i mean, i had a recent foray into all kinds of nonsense since my mom got sick. the whole thing is just ... b0rk3d. fubar.
mircea_popescu: he's pessimistic about big red warnings, i'm pessimistic about the ~possiblity~ of an english-language culture.
asciilifeform: unless subj concerned a stolen/otherwise 'with legs' item. which is possible, i have nfi.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-26#1648148 << trivially bypassed, though. i expect more of a "checking if anyone's awake" sort of thing. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: i could at least ping one of my own sockpuppets eh
shinohai: Can't say I have.
a111: Logged on 2014-10-19 03:18 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 500 lb. body causes fire at Henrico crematory << one time i spent an evening reading cremator manuals (for no particular reason. happened to stroll by a modern crematory on evening walk in new street, was curious.) every manufacturer has special instructions for the peculiarly fat 'clients.'
shinohai: haha I was searching for that tidbit in the logs asciilifeform, thought you had said this previously.
pete_dushenski: i badly wish silbert's latest fund were a late apr1 joke. just seems too cruel to be true!
asciilifeform: <pankkake> if I knew there would be goatse, I would have bought earlier
shinohai: ty BingoBoingo I have another one in limbo
phf: valgrind i take it from what asciilifeform is saying instruments the code, in an equivalent of putting printf after every statement
mircea_popescu: if you're interested in either gprof or valgrind's callgrind, or both or whatever, his thing is useful. but i'm not. specifically because bitcoin is too large and slow to be run on valgrind-simulated cpu, and moreover if we could do that we wouldn't have any of the problems we currently approach anymore.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not saying there is ; i am saying i don't care for either method of profiling he discusses for this usecase.
mircea_popescu: i think he's making an important point.
asciilifeform: i disagree that there is anything fundamentally misleading in the linked piece.
mircea_popescu: no i was quoting this as a right and proper observation.
mircea_popescu: ask me to do something i'm good at!
shinohai: I'm rich.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, either approach discussed is ridiculous. i don't need valgrind to emulate a processor and then guess how long things' take ; i don't want gprof's sampling either. just awk the codebase to add a printf after each instruction spitting out time and recompile. that's it.
mircea_popescu: no, i expect something more along the lines of http://trilema.com/2011/deci-de-revelion-acum-niste-ani/ ; ie providing they somehow landed in they'd identify a situation according to their own mental furnishings, which'd have nothing much to do with the actual situation, then proceed to "Strategize" on that basis and the girls would toy with her for as long as that's funny before chewing her up and spitting her out.
shinohai: I'm rather willing to bet 99% of these "dommes" would be flipped in an instant on arrival to mp's harem.
shinohai: The whole of their twitter empire is an illusion, not that I care how much they lie as long as *my* payment is forthcoming.
shinohai: I dunno yet for sure, seems each of the greedy bitches has a different method. I'm sure eventually I can automate this too.
asciilifeform: reminds me of the dream i just woke up from -- where i found a way to send a bit backwards in time
shinohai: I had never seen that particular device, and boy have I seen some strange ones.
mircea_popescu: "i read a book i like twice, but books i don't like i don't read at all!11"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unfortunately the d00d is quite correct in his description of the mechanism. gprof doesn't work in the obvious, sane way ( a mechanized version of what i did -- per-routine timer ) but using randomized sampling.
mircea_popescu: (for the record, his "proper fixation" quote is opaque. fixation is generally used in medicine, but histopathology branch thereof, to denote preparation of microscope slides. if he means "tying up the person", i'd guess that'd be proper affixation or something (not really affixation, that's a grammar term of art), though it's entirely disused.)
mod6: will start looking into that. no reason why I cant set that up and do another run.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-26#1648004 << no i know, but it can't hurt to have ☝︎
asciilifeform: and fwiw i did not use gprof when i determined where to put the timer -- i used an actually clueful initial hypothesis, and an outer timer ( on ProcessBlock, which was the item of interest ) to compare the output of various inner ones against.
mod6: but, in any case, I could work on further analysis like that, mircea_popescu
mod6: asciilifeform: unless I'm missing something major from one of your vpatches? (i've also posted my debug.log -- please take a second to see if I'm missing something major if you have a spare one)
mod6: sure. i missed that point completely - was just putting some stats together from alf's timer/odometer vpatches. i think something along the lines of what you're referring to takes deeper, or much more extensive instrumentation / profiling.
mircea_popescu: what i was looking for was, supposing the whole of trb looks like : http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/YOK7i/?raw=true then something like : http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/qGO07/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: mod6 maybe i'm thick, but where's the per-line timing per block ?
mod6: I have updated all the statistics, charts, and commentary in place.
ben_vulpes: parts of it have an odd feel, as though i were reading altcoin propaganda from another dimension
ben_vulpes: https://blog.buoyant.io/2017/04/25/whats-a-service-mesh-and-why-do-i-need-one/ << "everything must run over http" monomania in full effect
asciilifeform: (several min. on pc with no entropy bottleneck (i.e. FG present))
mod6: this is pretty similar to the semi-counterintuitive idea i had been thinking about -- or more probably, was remembering from a previous discussion in here about the same.
asciilifeform: since mod6 mentioned subj, i'll say a bit
a111: Logged on 2017-04-26 02:18 mod6: I was thinking today about a ~tmsr~ crypto lib, and it starts (probably) thinking about bignum
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-26#1647926 << funnily enough, it's what i'm polishing for release as we speak. ☝︎
