asciilifeform: and i don't mean trb
mircea_popescu: and what is meant when people such as me say bitcoin's a pos and what it was meant when i told the power ranger tards to fix it or get killed years ago
mircea_popescu: this is at the core of the argument in favour of a trb-i implementation.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not related, but gotta ask before mircea_popescu goes back to sleep, (believe or not) i just today noticed that duplicate coinbases actually existed.
mircea_popescu: it dun work. why would i have qntra do it again ? i know it doesn't work.
asciilifeform: i won't argue ' asciilifeform knows Moar Fact from reading völkischer beobachter than mircea_popescu from spy network ', that'd be riotously stupid
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu had said 'you won't learn the mechanics of su collapse by reading pravda or decrees of politburo' i would grudgingly agree
mircea_popescu: understand how consequences work : you can't at the same time "oh, nobody even told be item from my field of interest" and "oh i see from anthill". either you do or you don't, and broadly speaking i guess you don't.
asciilifeform: i dun recall ever claiming to pick up anything whatsoever in the street..
mircea_popescu: all you got is the view FROM INSIDE YOUR HEAD. because if i push you re anthill it'll immediately become obvious the last time you picked up a girl i nthe street was never, and similarily for any other quanta of interaction.
asciilifeform: all i got is the view from inside the anthill. where mr.t's buttons are in fact not connected to anything, because apparently even the lowliest judicial bureaucrat can 'suspend' all of his decrees for whatever fictional 'reasons'.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am by now convinced that once so-called judge corpses start floating on the east river your retort will be "so what, everyone dies eventuallyt and everything ends up in a river eventually". which is fine and great for you, but makes for HORRIBLE qntra. because it's so indescribably fucking stupid, and because it's so indescribably fucking stupid in the exact manner that produced usg.
ben_vulpes: http://i.imgur.com/9DS6FnX.gifv
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: that's a new one. not too long either if i skip translating the 102 comments
mircea_popescu: i suppose if author of finnigan's wake inquires, i've never read it now.
ben_vulpes: epic pile btw, i don't believe for a second 4chan has worked through it yet.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's a reference ot that most best read trilema piece, teh la zuleika
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dunno bout you, but erry time i went after hours to nominally girls only student whore warehouse facilities i was there to "visit my cousin" and when crashing a party it'd be a case of "you've got my sister in there, now do i have to get a cop."
ben_vulpes: i know in point of fact that i've demonstrated how candidates for voice are to introduce themselves before.
ben_vulpes: next time someone says "i know a feller", next question is "which feller?"
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't put too much stock.
danielpbarron: hah i was thinking "hope it's not me he's referring to"
mircea_popescu: i just thought it was one dude with an obscure web service. who knows.
BU_lulz: i've been tempted to try to make a penny off the pumps, but the principled side of me has kept me from stooping to that level of derp
BU_lulz: like I have no faith in ethereum, dash, etc but I can't help but feel printed money is being thrown at them
mircea_popescu: i think that was "bitcoin classic"
BU_lulz: i really want roger ver to go away like gavin
BU_lulz: i know it's petty, but I do love seeing shillz get rekt
mircea_popescu: incidentally, am i the only one wondering why the everloving fuck the ustards keep pretending sex is something dubious and hard to distinguish etc, when every single fucking cell of the organism carries, very strictly, the code on it ? it's either xx or xy, stop bitching and whining, there's NO ambiguity. none.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if "things which come out of him" includes spit.
danielpbarron: could die at any moment. i'd say it's not worth the risk, but most people go to hell so it's anybody's guess
trinque: I guess that checks out lol
danielpbarron: hey if she's saved i don't care what else she does. adopts a bunch of orphans, wonderful!
danielpbarron: ah i see what you mean, suppose despite all that comfort she still repents, and now she also has all this stuff. so she dosen't need me in the financial sense. but maybe she wants kids
danielpbarron: if she repented of being a whore and really came to be saved then yeah i could see marrying her, maybe. but the onus would be on her to do that. I'm better off single, it's her best interest to marry
danielpbarron: i don't follow. because she was honest? perhaps i should clarify, i use whore to mean a woman who has sex with multiple men. harlot is a better word (friend of the world) but both are bad things: whether she is paid is irrelevant
mircea_popescu: (and if she says "i'm a high end whore" fucking marry her, because srsly.)
danielpbarron: i don't even tinder
danielpbarron: i don't know any apparently. or rather i haven't met a whore i couldn't get to admit it
mircea_popescu: but not so far off from how the conversation goes with me ; after all i taught most of them har har.
danielpbarron: ask her! everyone i talk to here in connecticut freely admits they are a whore/adulterer
mircea_popescu: well i how can it be plainly observed when you didn't observe the other deeds any ; nor did the observation get recorded.
mircea_popescu: i will excuse carol of "cool it, carol" fame with the exact same rod.
danielpbarron: eh it may be the case she didn't believe. i don't suppose it matters. the fact remains a whore generally may repent and no longer be a whore, although it would still be appropriate to execute her
danielpbarron: she did i believe
trinque: ah I just didn't remember her name
mircea_popescu: ah yes. but i'd rather discuss the whore he wilfully or accidentally omitted to address as such.
danielpbarron: i don't know if this one was named. the thing to which trinque is referring "cast first stone"
trinque: or I can decide I'm a softy and "turn the other cheek"
trinque: so I can see where danielpbarron would say kill 'em
danielpbarron: the Bible says it defiles. i doubt they could do it in private for long without it somehow manifesting in public
danielpbarron: i don't want to go looking for them but they certainly shouldn't be permitted to flaunt it in public
danielpbarron: on this topic i side with the muslims. not the so-called christians
danielpbarron: i doubt grandmothers would rule that adulterers should be stoned to death
danielpbarron: hey i agree. i don't think it needs to be a database or state issue. can be between husband and father of girl. if there's a dispute later, let them testify accordingly
mircea_popescu: i guess ? no good way to apply the eyepoppingly socialist db model to the fundamentally republican reality of domestic disturbances.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why the muricans imagine "everything" is up for their review.
danielpbarron: Framedragger, i liked it. made me chuckle
trinque: I'm not engaging in the sidestepping game with you.
Framedragger: anyway, it's true, not the most interesting piece; was relevant and lulzy enough for me; guess i'm timid
trinque: "eye-poppingly sexist" << wtf I am not reading this
danielpbarron: i'm not convinced it's possible to convert girls with cock
mircea_popescu: i dunno, why would the woman be a drag in the first place ? old loves dun bother mp any. heck, they're a substantial part of his imperial majesty.
mircea_popescu: i wonder.
danielpbarron: wha? i'm not saying a man can't have multiple wives. if the first sucks get another, just don't ditch the first
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] Isaiah 45:7 :: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
danielpbarron: and lucky her she's not going to hell because i wouldn't have married a heathen
trinque: man, if I think back on all the women I cast away, and they were all in this room ☟︎
danielpbarron: i know of a few
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i was speaking of the varint thing
Framedragger: at first i thought "well for small ints it's just an additional nSize check which is retarted but whatever", but he writes the bytes himself regardless of int size and i'm sure compiler etc. won't be able to optimise much there
Framedragger: local offsets i guess.
Framedragger: nice. so you have local pointers within given data structure (e.g. block) referring to starts of whatever-relevant-stuff? (i didn't even know that satoshi's code used variable length ints)
asciilifeform: so to round off the thread: blocks can be stored in 'fast' form, and reconstituted as-needed for transmission to peers; or alternatively, with 2x the disk cost, can be stored in both forms (i prefer the latter, with a background thread that randomly spot-checks the correspondence, which oughta be an iron 1:1 , everywhere )
asciilifeform: i will leave the algo an exercise for readers, who can then see if they came up with same one, after i post mine.
asciilifeform: (i.e. ~any~ proper, 1MB, bitcoin block can be made to sit down in no more than a 2MB-sized bottle such that indexing of its components becomes an O(1) operation.)
asciilifeform: i will note that in domains where The Thing Must Work, Motherfuckers, e.g., spacecraft, (traditionally) heaps are forbidden.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: nope. ben_vulpes is actually running the churn, on his (working) btctron, i deliberately left it to him
Framedragger: yeah! i imagine it's gonna be tremendous and yuge :) (but seriously, compared to userspace fs....)
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i specifically did not, the scripts are left alone, the blocks are verified only in the very limited sense of mechanical format (lengths do not fandango out of buffer limits, etc)
Framedragger: yeah i wanted to ask how you managed to implement script stuff in this amount of time but i guess no need to parse scripts to have definitive view of all tx
asciilifeform: which i don't have, and have no intention of attempting in near future, hands are quite full.
asciilifeform: after it also demonstrates the indexing algo from last week, i'ma vgenesisate it and post.
mircea_popescu: well, i guess that's a serious reason then
asciilifeform: ( i'd much rather that bdb simply went away. but this may take a while. )
davout: aha, thanks for the tip, i do have 16gb on the hdd-only box
asciilifeform: (i recommend a box with at least 16GB installed, to use this)
davout: can live on /dev/null for all i care, unless i'm specifically looking into something
davout: we'll see how that goes i guess, i was kinda wondering whether i should get a ssd-equipped server anyway
davout: yeah i followed all that, didn't realize it was the ~writes~ clogging up everything
davout: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-15#1627313 <<< cool, i'll send you a ssh key ☝︎
pete_dushenski: i seem to be a sucker for those :/
mircea_popescu: you get bonus comparison then. not to mention the end product is half notes (i think this is one of the "absolutely hardest to translate that can still be translated" category)
pete_dushenski: this was in ro, yes ? (i seem to recall poorly translating it at one point)
mircea_popescu: i'm like "i know i fucking read this in english! WTF WHERE IS IT!!!1"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you remember me translating the "feminine exceptionalism" article recently ? i can't fucking find it but im pretty sure i did
b41e209ccc264812: no particular field. I am interested in general as what might be on your reading lists. Some of the concepts and topics you discuss are very interesting. But sometimes I find myself lacking background information and decided to start from somewhere
mircea_popescu: well, just as long as they don't have to do what they don't wanna do, i guess.
b41e209ccc264812: I have been reading your site/blog too, but will for the time being concentrate on trilema. and worke my way from there
b41e209ccc264812: thanks Pete. I am still doing trilema.com for now. ☟︎
