mod6: so now, i only go up to 1 ft, then I call it for the season. gets hard on the dogs too.

mod6: doesn't leave a lot for cover for the birds. we hunt in the snow, until it becomes un-walkable. once i did through 3-4 ft. drifts, and nearly had a cardiac event.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, it's glorious to watch. i would say we have a complete, reliable and quite elegant solution to the original mandate

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aye, reasonabru. i'll probably kill the web stuff and make the thing irc-only. not going to happen immediately, still planning out data collection system

asciilifeform: i will however note that my original vtron ~was~ openly published.

mircea_popescu: but actually the fact that i think we'd lose out on a lot of value by not doing the v-tron thing here.

mircea_popescu: the reason i hesitate to publish the extensive mp alien techs wrt bitcoin infrastructure isn't simply the sheer size ; nor merely the political consideration of, "hey, there's a lot of value in enemy not actually knowing what mp capabilities are -- as widely exemplified in the public sphere by the march cartel trampling among who knows what private adventures"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been contemplating the correct way to make pseudonodes. way i see it is, it should still maintain a cache of recent blocks, and have a backhaul to mothership controlled by owner to request signed block checksums, and whole blocks if cache does not find; rather than accepting crapolade from randos

asciilifeform: (and i will add: 1 is quite certainly insufficient, and 2 -- just ~barely~ enough -- to have real-time access to the network)

a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 19:13 mircea_popescu: way it ought to work starts with finely dispersed listeners throughout the network, which i hesitate to place as a "every lord should have" type of obligation in 2017, but will eventually become

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615717 << i gotta wonder what the folx without 1+ working trb node, think they are doing. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ^ these include strictly those folx who built with versionstring knob. or rather, some quite arbitrary subset thereof (i.e. those not in a black hole atm)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when you wrote 'listener', i wondered if it meant something specialized and passive, a sort of pseudonode.

mircea_popescu: way it ought to work starts with finely dispersed listeners throughout the network, which i hesitate to place as a "every lord should have" type of obligation in 2017, but will eventually become ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i am not against trb having a debugger

asciilifeform: to revisit upstack, ftr trb still does not have a tx debugger. when, e.g., mircea_popescu, asks me 'have you seen tx T', all i have is to grep the log barf

asciilifeform: actually if i did it every day, would have titanic hands and 0 complaints

asciilifeform: ftr i see nTransactionFee as an idiocy, and imho the thing ought to demand the fee amount as a second argument to sendtoaddress

asciilifeform: well yes, i am eating the l0gz

mircea_popescu: i said that.

mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure, but afaik trb still imports original satoshi assumptive boneheadedness in that it will not consider tx updating its own wallet which it didn't issue itself.

hanbot: say, i've also got a paytxfee reset to zero (was set last run)...what's this, also doesn't update w/o rescan, or wants a setting every run?

mircea_popescu: i don't think trb updates your wallet balance in this case. it updates it when it sends something, it doesn't rescan for doublespends.

hanbot: i mean the amt sent to non-trb wallet is still included in trb wallet.

mircea_popescu: reported by the miner that included it, as best i can tell. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i'd say blockchain.info broken infrastructure ?

mircea_popescu: i also see 7fa9eb8297e7547e8ab24a7ac49197197cb312364436ba7ac31b61822059f531 which doublespends it

mircea_popescu: lmao i see it

trinque: I'll be around all day.

trinque: I'm going to aim the deeds service at #trilema-trinque for a few minutes to test.

thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i must say. when I put 40 hours into the first thief over vacation, definitely repeated that phrase to myself a lot: "thinking man's doom" such an apt three word description for the game.

phf: i'm not sure, but i remember you have to put a handful of magic incantations to live fix clx on genera to make it connect to crapple's x11 ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i wasn't proposing that as a substitute lol.

mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they;re thinking.

mircea_popescu: if it weren't so fucking hot i'd go actually.

mircea_popescu: if i lived in india i'd strike gold rounds, with my face on one side and my crown on the other. and if the "indian our democracy" doesn't like it, they can eat hot ieds.

mircea_popescu: works i guess

phf: i need to move a handful of things into storage, throw out the bulk and handover my apartment back to landlord. mostly i don't want to lose my books, but i'm going to split them between a handful of trusted locations

asciilifeform: phf: every time you find one of these, i think 'holy shit, it was alive until now?!'

phf: i don't have a smart comment, "exasperation" is the correct term in this case. i'm looking in awe at the turnaround time though, some kind of "modernization" fast track right there

phf: guy who snatched mcclim from g_l, and who otherwise got a somewhat cold treatment from the ccl core before joined the channel the next day with "i guess i should subscribe to mailing list :)"

a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 15:43 phf: so i push back on the guy, rme says "let's change subject", within minutes guy goes "it's late here i gotta go to sleep"

mircea_popescu: "ultra learning" sounds a lot like "i don't wanna learn, what can you make me out of HFCS and corporate legal advice ?"

Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615505 << just to note for asciilifeform and given that i didn't see it mentioned in the pdf (could have easily missed it), `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) $yoursqlquery` *is* useful. "buffers" will also show how much of postgres cache was hit during query execution, etc. etc.; it's quite nice. ☝︎

phf: i'm 2 weeks away from having to go back to washington, dc. i'm over the hump, and doubling down on hate.

mats: i'll add a trigger warning if there's a next time

phf: the whole vibe of the piece that you linked is that. "here's 10 books i wrote on how to be a leading brain surgeon. i myself am not a brain surgeon of course too hard lol, i just made all the money writing books like that"

mats: i've been away from the valley too long

mats: huh, first i've heard of 'bulletproof coffee', how hip

phf: i wonder if "scott young" used bulletproof coffee every morning, to prep himself up for mit ciriculum study. did he organize his studies using GTD??? what kind of organizer did he use, and where can i buy it? the audience wants to know answers to these vital questions

phf: (i don't know what happened to above sentence. india make me spell good)

phf: i can't vouch for the current edition (with the colourful chronometer on the cover), becaues comments side that it's not just a reprent, but a revised text based on gould's notes.

phf: i picked up https://www.amazon.com/Longitude-Genius-Greatest-Scientific-Problem/dp/080271529X that someone left on the train, it's a popsci history of longitude problem, which in turn pointed me to the gould book, which i found in a local collectors' bookstore

phf: asciilifeform: did you get the new and improved edition? or a pirate pdf of the original? i'm not sure what the warez status of it is, but i can potentially do a proper scan of the first ed

diana_coman: by this time I rather expect that the underlying truth there is that MIT's "computer science curriculum" simply is watered down

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there is a surprising tradition of this. i recall reading about a fella in new york who was permitted to build himself an electrically-operated (button in his hand) 'upward jerker' gallows system, and hang on it

BingoBoingo: http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=6657 << "I don’t know why the state doesn’t just put the condemned prisoner under with a general anesthetic and then cut off his head with a sawzall. They are clearly over-thinking the whole process."

asciilifeform: ty trinque , i will make use of this.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do not particularly want to hand off the project, no.

asciilifeform: i have nfi what this sentence means

asciilifeform: trinque: how might i go about determining the answer to this ?

asciilifeform: the ONE THING I ASKED FOR is not in the tunings.

asciilifeform: mod6: i sat for whole day with the tuning. worthless.

asciilifeform: we had a thread, where mircea_popescu suggested inserting in massive batches. i will eventually implement this. but i find it offputting that EVEN THEN the IDIOTIC db will prevent me from reading !!!

asciilifeform: i have nfi what that means

asciilifeform: incidentally i measured the thing in between Framedragger parcels

mod6: (im much more familiar with mysql's perf schema, not really with psql, but... I find these things very helpful on a regular basis.)

asciilifeform: and again i went 'surely there MUST be a knob to permit-FUCKYOU-UNBLOCKEDALWAYS-READS... i must've missed it' but nope.

asciilifeform: (iirc we had a thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron) ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: "no i'll optimize my truck". eh...

asciilifeform: sql dbtron is , i suspect, intrinsically unusable for this application

asciilifeform: in other softwaresucks, i applied all of the optimizations folx have written to me about re phuctor. still ~same slow.

thestringpuller: asciilifeform: would i have to modify how OpenSSL is initialized in order to use FUCKGOATS with TRB? >> https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Random_Numbers#Hardware

asciilifeform: also mentioned a different crackpottery i had in my head -- to use pair of magnets instead of balance spring, to overcome the thermal boojum (that harrison ended up inventing bimetallic spring to solve) -- as having been tried, unsuccessfully, by huygens

mircea_popescu: "oh but mp... it puts my kids through college. i got dental!"

asciilifeform: maybe it's just me, but i do not want idiots to anything. other than to stop breathing.

mircea_popescu: such as i dunno, the 5th channel logger.

mircea_popescu: "but mp, i just work here, it's not my life!"

a111: Logged on 2017-02-18 20:20 mircea_popescu: it's i realise now, directly the problem - the snippetage. IF a language/method/package/abstract-item-whatever has a lot of "copy paste this snippet" built around it, then the useless worms that opened up and swallowed the immense productive assets and limitless human ingenuity existing in america recognize it for the business-world equivalent of their schooldays : THE HOLY CLIFF NOTES!!1

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-18#1615245 << buggers are persistent, found a point of fragility i overlooked ☝︎

mircea_popescu: smatterings of "just because x I SHOULDNT HAVE TO y" now and again

mircea_popescu: and "i just want to" is the mantra humming along, all of it.

mircea_popescu: functionalistic culture. "i don't have to understand how fridge works as long as i know which door to open" is the first step to "and then i made the hay airplane but presents didn't drop from sky" after all.

mircea_popescu: it's i realise now, directly the problem - the snippetage. IF a language/method/package/abstract-item-whatever has a lot of "copy paste this snippet" built around it, then the useless worms that opened up and swallowed the immense productive assets and limitless human ingenuity existing in america recognize it for the business-world equivalent of their schooldays : THE HOLY CLIFF NOTES!!1 ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i suspect everyone kind-of knows this which is why specific items such as "mysql" or "xml" or what have you are so heavy tinged with aversity pheromones.

diana_coman: mircea_popescu, yes, I think asciilifeform is quite right there - I *saw* "programmers" doing exactly that in fact

a111: Logged on 2017-02-18 18:09 ben_vulpes: footnote 3 is a gorgeous little sentence, i don't think i've ever seen the like from a native english speaker

mats: help help i'm being oppressed by a poster

ben_vulpes: footnote 3 is a gorgeous little sentence, i don't think i've ever seen the like from a native english speaker ☟︎

diana_coman: and yes, fwiw I don't think they bothered with having anything in their heads, not by the looks of it: hey, it WORKS, right?

diana_coman: mod6, "tight coupling" would be a very ....british way of putting it: I think trinque has it there with "rat king"

ben_vulpes: ahaha diana_coman i salute you that is some serious archaeology

trinque: but also there were plenty of idiots that could not think clearly about the problem in the abstract either, i.e. there is a board, it is to be carved along these paths, so on

trinque: I worked on a very sad qt project once upon a time

asciilifeform: diana_coman: i will be releasing a small proggy quite soon.

diana_coman: aha, I had a bit of a look at ada but sadly no time to properly play around with it; I'm looking forward though to your ada implementations

mod6: let me know if i can help somehow.

mod6: i think that kinda illustrates what you need to contend with.

diana_coman: I suppose I should be grateful it is done with numbers straight rather than pointers too

diana_coman: social coding thing I suspect
