asciilifeform: 'Suppose you recalibrate difficulty each block instead. Big whoop, so attacker drives your difficulty up 100x and now you only have to mine six days for negative returns instead of two years. So what ? You're still underwater, and once you recover he can still do it again.' ( from mircea_popescu's likbez )
asciilifeform: you oughta do this nearly always . ( 1 notable exception is ffa or other 'tight' code where you're testing speed, and correctness already known; there -g will give a 10-15x speed penalty )☟︎
asciilifeform: build with -g , use addr2line to get the stacktrace.
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf ever tried sbcl for arm 'softfloat' cpu ? all i get is 'Illegal instruction' death when running, regardless of what build.
asciilifeform: 'I assumed that a company as well known as Coinbase must have phone support. So I googled “coinbase phone support” and a number popped up. I gave this number to Rita.

asciilifeform: namely, 1) their artfully dodging the front lines , of the actually relevant problems known in their time 2) piling up megatonne upon megatonne of mathemasturbatory jizzrag , instead of doing their duty in going for maxwellian parsimony until last drop of blood
asciilifeform: i find it strange that mircea_popescu forgives the pseudophysicists the same sins that he correctly unforgives the pseudocryptographers
asciilifeform: upstack re physicists : i could've sworn we had the unifications thread
asciilifeform: and fwiw the 1 serious open question i know of , that could be answered with costly machine -- is the al schwartz eotvos test. pretty low energy, at that.
asciilifeform: the sad thing is that money pretty much begs itself to be spent on fancy machines. because neither mircea_popescu nor i nor anybody else could transform arbitrarily large bag of money, into another schrodinger.
asciilifeform: there's research, and there's stamp collecting.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'particle zoo' curation is what the post-war twits with 0 imagination have busied themselves with.
