asciilifeform: phf: it is a terrible format and is not to remain.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-29 23:32 ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1591573 << the diff line is distinct from the --- / +++ lines, does one ever see a patch file where the files compared aren't prefixed with a/ or b/ ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the 'a' and 'b' are historic artifacts from my torture room. but notice, gnudiff ignores the name.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 02:39 phf: http://btcbase.org/patches/hashes_and_errors#L118 you don't really want to do this. you're subseq'ing there to strip the a/ b/ but that's not at all a guarantee! i have a vpatch with `diff -ib -ruN /Users/pf/cmucl20d-build/src/hemlock/abbrev.lisp src/abbrev.lisp` in it for example. at the very least you want to abstract it away into its own function. that would correctly operate on a hashed-path datastructure.

asciilifeform: i suppose for completeness one ought to include a '5' -- foolish folx who think that 4GB / non-ECC ddr4 / etc. is a trb node
asciilifeform: type3 (this taxonomy is strictly from asciilifeform's notes, and is no canonical animal of any kind) is the 'thinking man's shitflood', where requested inventory is not a DOS by virtue of ~quantity~, but ~quality~ (flood of questionable but not immediately/cheaply rejectable material)
asciilifeform: type2 ( pete_dushenski's ) is the garden variety shitflood. which is sometimes solved by ip ban, but only in the case of 'shrapnel addressed to occupant', i.e. idiot prb nodes wildly spamming crapolade, and not in the 'bullet with your name on it' case, where somebody actually has a sybil constellation drowning your trb node in liquishit, with no SINGLE ip misbehaving in any way ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the idea, as idiscussed a few days ago, is to separate things and queue.
mircea_popescu: this'd make some fine subject of a priority work order, the only problem is that it's so intricate and we aren't fans of doing the work n times. but once trb sits down on a sql-fs it would all fall in place.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: any idea how prb identifies a trb node?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/3biVT/?raw=true << last however many lines from debug.log. it just keeps going on like this. gimme a sec on core dump.
mircea_popescu: davout the deep problem there, with kraken as well as with any other of these websites, which is to say scams, is that YOU DO NOT get to pocket anything. in your case this was a loss, but in the case of bitfinex running away with millions in "profits" its inept "users" were supposed to have accrued but never did, the mechanism was more clearly in view
asciilifeform: and can you get a core dump out of the thing pete_dushenski
ben_vulpes: phf: i only used windows as a wee one in school labs and a mildly less wee one in cad labs, so no idea re administration haxery
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck what a request
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-29#1592829 << you remember how they used to have those "stripping all the extras" hacks for windows. like a tool that would unpack windows xp installer, remove whatever shit author knew how to remove, and then repack it, so you get windows with random gunk. you know of anything like that for mac? i wonder if i can roll 10.9 without any of the /Applications/ etc. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i don't disagree from a philosophical standpoint but nor can i tolerate having dead fucking trb nodes. that i should have to reboot a machine ~daily~ is the death of bitcoin. yukoners never had it so bad.
ben_vulpes: quote me a chapter and verse?
asciilifeform: there's a bunch of if-then crapolade
ben_vulpes: i find a relaxed colon makes for a relaxed thinker
asciilifeform: for... a php infector?
ben_vulpes: shoulda said "looks like a variant on another classic retail scam"
davout: ben_vulpes: it's even worse here, it's to *exit* a position
pete_dushenski: the above is a snippet from the debug.log and the result is a ~frozen machine. doesn't respond to rpc commands the way machines blackholed by, say, 'askfor tx' does.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-29#1592756 << that is historical nonsense that got hammered out in a large discussion when it was actually brought to the forum. << ok ☝︎
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: have a link handy?

mircea_popescu: no patch can be elevated to the status of genesis ; if it is a genesis of something it knows this, and the way it knows this is through the antecedent being false
phf: root is a compsci term for a the topmost element of a tree. genesis is a vtronic term for the origin. on imlementation level they are identical, and generally describe the same concept, but in general "root" being "genesis" is an implementation detail
asciilifeform: i can name a genesis xyz.vpatch.
ben_vulpes: nono, it's not a hack to do here
mod6: http://www.mod6.net/v-99994-trace5.txt << here's a sample of what i'm saying
mod6: Then he's got a problem. So i felt like this type of checking, is more strict. And if it is proper, I will proceed.
mod6: phf: ok, see, there is a hack i could have put in, instead. where i just ensure that my root is named like /genesis/. But what if someguy calls his root, 1000 years from now, xyz.vpatch.
mod6: one way, I've found, to solve this is to ensure that any root in my list of roots, must be a "true root", in such that if the vpatch's every 'a'='false', then it is a "true root".
mod6: the reason, I'm finding, that my previous patch still listed a->b->d in the flow, is because 'd' got picked up as a root. and the reason it does is because at this point, it has no antecedents.
mod6: so going back to our discussion regarding: a->b->c->d all signed by x, if 'c' is removed then the flow should be a->b and now 'd' has become orphaned. the correct strictness, 'v' (wot-variant) drops 'c' out all together.
mod6: I have a bit of a question here..
asciilifeform: 'A Finnish court has sentenced the former head of Helsinki's anti-drugs police to 10 years in prison for drug-smuggling and other offences. ... It ranks as the second least-corrupt country, after Denmark, in the global index compiled by Transparency International.' << in other reich lulz.
mircea_popescu: he might be working off some notebook bush left stuffed between the actual books in the wh library, because i seem to recall a declassification of technical details pertaining to iraq's wmds also being in the works for lo these many ten+ years.
shinohai: lo BingoBoingo ...latest Qntra. Bahamas gonna make the Bundy cows a Nashnul monument.
mircea_popescu: but as you nobody gave much a shit, kraken always was the hollow pretense of nobody in particular.
davout: asciilifeform: apparently "not hacked in a few years" is the best you can get these days
asciilifeform: 'i put my hand in bear trap. it snapped shut and hurt quite a bit. i reported bug. the trapper said 'feature'.'
asciilifeform: why was davout using a mtgox again
davout: when these monkeys get their shit rubbed in their face their answer is, I shit you not, "this isn't a bug, but we'll update our documentation to match the actual behaviour"
davout: it doesn't occur to their two-cans-and-a-string fork that it can use the same fucking 10kEUR to buy back the asset I borrowed
davout: apparently these fucktards expect one to borrow assets to fucking close a position
mircea_popescu: you'll find a mini-empire, like that woman who left her infant daughter to sun on the porch and came back to discover the child covered in fireants.
asciilifeform: (works best, afaik, as 'part of a balanced diet' with rockets,etc, naturally.)
asciilifeform: not everybody wants to be involved with mega-empires, on the giving or on the receiving end. in that light, the pashtun mountains are every bit a 'high-tech' deterrent as a SAM battery. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (which, truly, is what most engineers are doing with their lives, the engineering being just a pretext)
mircea_popescu: much like if a boy's mating strategy consists of seeking out the places where no other boys go and waiting for girls to straggle in. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: here'\s the thing : if inhospitability to aircraft is a win, you have serious problems in other places that you should attend to.
asciilifeform: inhospitability to aircraft can also be a win.
asciilifeform: hey it's a better deal than 'live on the poles' or 'under ocean' or 'on moon'
mircea_popescu: few years ago a quarter of all flights had to be grounded because some volcano spit out ash in the upper atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: not NEXT to you. what a volcano erupts anywhere.
mircea_popescu: what if a volcano erupts ?
asciilifeform: ( though i do have a few nitpicks re: mircea_popescu's 'Do you have any idea what it costs to drill for water in that sort of clearly basaltic substrate ? Look it up. And then, IF, and that's a huge if, you're lucky enough to find water, you'll be stuck pumping it five thousand feet. Which means each cubic meter of water will cost you, even should you have the perfect engine, a megajoule and a half' -- there'd be no reason to get the
jurov: i once met a indian lady in germany, i asked her how she's fine with german climate, and she explained me this
mircea_popescu: anyway, india looks ripe for a blowout and habitability within a decade, so.
asciilifeform: planned devaluations are one of the inevitable death agonies of a collapsing monkeystan, quite like, e.g., rolling mains blackouts.
phf: since then, cash shortages, protests, the usual stuff. the obvious solution "make it illegal", what a bunch of babus
phf: i think they got replaced with "new series" of 500 and 2000. also there's certainly no confusion. the whole transition was a clusterfuck. they introduced new series like two months ago
asciilifeform: 'As the deadline for handing in India’s decommissioned 500 and 1,000 rupee notes arrives, the government has signed a law jailing those who continue holding them. ... The Indian Cabinet has cleared a so-called ordinance, transferring liability to consumers and away from banks and authorities after a final cut-off point of March 31. Consumers could thereafter land themselves in jail for four years. Regular consumers only have until
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2016/disgrace-for-a-man-of-his-age/ << Trilema - Disgrace - For a man of his age
asciilifeform: in other lulz, gnat's standard library apparently includes a compact implementation of... SPITBOL.
BingoBoingo: Hussein as a political construct *needed* enshrined on court, preferably in Scalia's seat. Twas why there was no big push to vacancy fill.
asciilifeform: what a horror

asciilifeform: 'This is physical Bitcoin as it was meant to be: just hand it to someone and they've got it. Pass it on multiple times! As simple as a handshake. No miner fees, no confirmation delays.'
a111: Logged on 2016-09-15 18:39 asciilifeform: 'Yes. It's like a piggy-bank. You must destroy it to spend the funds. At first that seems expensive and wasteful, but it's a key part of our security model: you can trust a sealed Opendime, and it's obvious when it's been opened.' etc. is a lie.
asciilifeform: vintage lulz ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-15#1542468 ) continued! >> http://blog.opendime.com/post/155026798632/announcing-opendime-v2-now-genuine-verified << 'we’ve added a special security chip, the sole purpose of which is to defeat any attempt at building counterfeit or cloned Opendime' ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: heh. so bahamas shared his livejournal link with her flame, except putin didn't give a shit so now she's messaging all her friends on instagram about it ?
mircea_popescu: anyone wanna read a mp-rewrite of coetzee's disgrace ?
mircea_popescu: will durst raided a thesaurus, nobody complained. apparently back in 2006 this was ok.
mircea_popescu: ie, "there's a potato there".
mircea_popescu: anyway, whether they manage to eat this particular potato or not, the fact remains : obama as a political construct is more valuable impeached than not impeached. that's pretty much the whole story, not like there's an actual human behind the construct.
mircea_popescu: aka "a parliament is that body of men that while in session guarantees noone's property, dignity or life are secure."
mircea_popescu: "first black president" was "a great victory for the progressives", then "only nigger ever lost in the white house was impeached!" will be "a great victory for the patriots", this is how politics works - everyone gets the maximal great victories possible.
mircea_popescu: trump has a healthy majority and plenty of people hate the dems. even themselves, these days.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the female mind, having betrayed the faith she owes the male, is taking refuge in teary-eyed imaginations of "sacrifices" ; in a defensive paleocortex process veheheheery well known by the survivors of the communist countries. "oh, those were the times, I HAD TO SACRIFICE" says every despicable old quisling whore. mno bitch, you didn't have to sacrifice anything, you're just a blob of fat. blobs of fat don't "sacrif
mircea_popescu: dude has it, clearly. ben_vulpes will produce one gem per article, he's got a geological process going on in his skull and the result is these geodes of an article whereby among the silt there's gems.
mircea_popescu: obviously cinema has a strong escapism vein, but historically the escapism is directed towards poverty and individual restrictions. you need a septicemic soviet union for it to be "a source of hope for the aparatchicks"
mircea_popescu: trinque btw, the cinematic productions of teh empire in the past 3-5 years are showing very specific distress. ~everything is really a redo of "black mirror", it's shockingly this very specifig thing : politico-ideological refuge.
asciilifeform: nor anything like a plausible stack or heap turd.
asciilifeform: in other 'news', steve dutch has a very peculiarly broken www server.
mircea_popescu: a ?
mircea_popescu: watch that he typed a three line thing before dcing each time too
mircea_popescu: a few internet icecubes
asciilifeform: maybe we mail him a modem 1st.
gabriel_laddel_p: Indeed. And why not bundle w/eurola? You've wanted an 'emacs' interface for a while. CLIM is the logical conclusion of the emacs modality married to
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1591735 < the original proposition was, and is ARSTTEP. Hos being able to use it is just a result of having an xterm and browser around ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1592059 < hardest I've laughed in a couple days ☝︎
mircea_popescu: why else even have a static
gabriel_laddel_p: it is encrypted to you and is a .ogv file. Please let me know you can decrypt and play it.
