mircea_popescu: vpatches seem historically to go about 512 - 65535 bytes or so
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform useful for different things. apparently all of modern computing comes to "adjust your expectations". what do you need 1gb codebases for ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't really visually saw that appart, but looks like it's a hlen ** b mlen or such.
mircea_popescu: kinda badly chosen cutoffs too, i don't specifically care re diff between 40 byte and 70 byte message. make it log on that side and do 16, 128, 1024, 8192 and 65536 byte messages, for 32, 256, 2048 bit hash lengths as a standard of testing.
mircea_popescu: but other than that, looks like exponential on mlen and perhaps linear on hlen ?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-02#1678479 << to my eye the worst part of it is that it's very badly drawn. a) about half of the Y space is actually used, which is terrible. b) all the same color, they melt together, can't tell apart. can use color gradient ? (yes, on blue, not on red, can't see red).
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (you are aware, yes, usg vulnerable to nuclear blasts, latest studies show ?)
mircea_popescu: historically, the best way to "inexplicably" die suddenly was to attempt to attack groups of strictly selected, very determined, technologically superior people. bitcoin is no exception, whatever the hallucinations of the "we are talking about it therefore involved in it" crowd may show.
mircea_popescu: and this isn't just mp being hoity toity. the point here is that the sort of superficial schmuck who imagines bitcoin has 6k nodes, is also the superficial schmuck who imagines if bitcoin is framed through usg owned internet, that'll "just oiccur". it won't just occur, the same day there's a nuclear blast on capitol hill, no questions asked.
mircea_popescu: sina "The Bitcoin network has more than 6,000 nodes," << lost interest at that point.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes or you could just instrument your impl to read time at start and end ?
mircea_popescu: you know, "Even asciilifeform " dun work so well here, you're basically living on a satellite as far as most kitchens are concerned.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wasn't even rthinking getting the panels too. just get batteries, charge from network
mircea_popescu: esp if one gets a proper set rather than consumer prepackaged bs.
mircea_popescu: more a matter of space. what's a cubic meter get me in terms of mj ?
mircea_popescu: that's what i was thinking, rather than get a diesel, get a very large iron cell set instead.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i could break down and put in... SOLAR PANELS. dun dun dun
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh wait, we were talking at cross purposes. yes the gas ones are small.
mircea_popescu: no, they do. the tiny shits suck. but the 10-20-50hp ones work well enough.
mircea_popescu: whereas gasoline generator only really works well as a 50kw+ item
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah yes, that'd be much easier. but no gas here, and im not gonna bury a gpl tank (bad soil, hillside).
mircea_popescu: nah, it's about what a serious setup costs. and if you do, might as well get serious.
mircea_popescu: and if you feel like spending a quarter mil or we on the generators you do and if oyu don't you don't.
mircea_popescu: of course it still gets wet when it rains, and sandwiches still fall butter face down
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder what you're thinking, i'm connecting from a different dimension or what,.
mircea_popescu: allows for a civilised shutdown rather than staying on indefinitely/
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform those were in buenos aires. i didn't take along. all i got here is yhou know, inverters, batteries, stuff like that.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should provision a whole generating plant again.
mircea_popescu: it turned into a lovely teaching moment about the you know, historically principal expenditure of female calories. "that's what they did, all the way to 1800. lugged water. they still do in india."
mircea_popescu: no power, no pumps (i live up on a hillside) and so i had the girls... fery water. from the pool, with ex-paper baskets repurposed as sacas, up the fucking stairs.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't mean, here where i am. i mean, in costa rica period. and nicaragua. and panama. toda la centroamerica, mang!
mircea_popescu: and in other news from the unexpected jungle, a magistral link affording costa rica access to the brazilian electricity market failed* earlier today, resulting in no power.
mircea_popescu: oh, and good music = nothing after 2000, no electronica etc crapolade, none of the boy band nkotb idiocy, no faggots (michael, bowie, whatever nonsense with hats).
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, good party = no less than 60 females per 100, no loser/dork males present, good music not too loudly and some public fucking.
mircea_popescu: then again, i wasn't on the west coast ; nor do i have much patience for the flip flop and smoked out crowd.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i don't recall ever going to a good party states-side.
mircea_popescu: as far as the theory goes, at least. in practice, the preference was very much there, she was quite popular in the basescu years.
mircea_popescu: but this one at least understands (even if only spottily applies) that she's supposed to be naked. the other ones generally do not. this one is thereby above average and therefore the preference.
mircea_popescu: point being : the "i'd give it to the soviet comissar rather than to this woman" preference ain't supported.
mircea_popescu: show me hilarity's. (no, not from now, from back when she didn't understand but should have understood.)
mircea_popescu: this one at least understands she's supposed to be naked.
mircea_popescu: what sense does that make ? the central bank is just a faceless distillate of all the population.
mircea_popescu: you understand that if you smoke it you're gifting it to mugurel yes ?
mircea_popescu: well, here used in the general sense, "if elena asks for a car and you don't give it to her, you're saving it. wtf you;'re saving it for ?"
mircea_popescu: she can have whatever she wants, why the hell not. who else ? who'd you be saving it for, your own kids ?
mircea_popescu: just about. who doesn't want to be friends with a hot blondy with brains ?
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you. socialist state is poor and hopeless.
mircea_popescu: ro chick, secret service general no less, spent a decade organizing these "leaderless" bullshits in ro.
mircea_popescu: (who, ironically, didn't speak too highly of it, either.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so they did, yes. OURDEMOCRACY is older than calvin.
