mircea_popescu: and for that matter, who's to say a simple move to 64 bits doesn't resolve the problem altogether. but anyway, i'm more making a point than proposing a technical solution.
mircea_popescu: consider : IF we decide to make megabyte large blocks, who says fat32 is inadequate then ? that 4gb has a lot to do with the size of a block.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall being as pissed off with fat32 at any point throughout the 90s as i've regularly been hence.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: no, i know. but if we end up patching dumbass systems, we should consider the whole field of dumbass systems. not just the ones that falsely promise to work and then fail to work ; but also the ones which honestly admit their limits.
mircea_popescu: also, we are not at wall : we saw ext4 ; did not see ext2 ; did not see reiserfs.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, "disagreement-verbiage" so to call it is the stuff of life. i have tons of it with my slavegirls, and they're very literal chattel slaves, not as much as a stitch they own outright nor as much as a private fold in their heart. nevertheless...
mircea_popescu: Framedragger> pretty neat to actually see an answer :) << quite.
mircea_popescu: o hey, not even any mention of the church & the state.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck seriously runs linux ? i wish to see this wonder.
mircea_popescu: in further lulz : tar is not able to create directories with an @ in them (why ? because they don't quote, obviously), yet they're standard in exim inbox saving. ergo, can't safely tar.gz exim directory.
mircea_popescu: wtf is this. did it test out ok ? did the pos just die ? WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. so run gzip -t on an archive, it... ends silenty.
mircea_popescu: now simmer down, you're gonna do something in the mbps range, which is what we're talking about.
mircea_popescu: yes. where do you buy a 4mb internal memory that writes at that rate, seeing how that's what the fucking rigol has.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what'd possess someone to make 4mb internal storage you know ? put a fucking camera stick, have whatever, 32gv
mircea_popescu: ie, sure, you can watch curves of our lives. or record it.
mircea_popescu: shit check danielpbarron putting notes on his fucking categories.
mircea_popescu: that dun mean you can just take the plans and do them in modern fab
mircea_popescu: i'm sure. wasn't much of a problem in general in the z80s days
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-18#1629015 << odds are it couldn't be re-done in a current fab, the vast majority of current fab constraints go towards avoiding echos and other self-crits the design may impose upon itself. as the engineers at the time didn't labour under the same constraints, and they're cutting out way more than 99% of the theoretical design space, the odds their work product would work in 14nm process are ze
☝︎ mircea_popescu: that said, it could of course be re-done, by people who understand completely what it did. but a lot more work than "print me these old family films on modern paper".
mircea_popescu bows out of this discussion lest he fucks up the laboratory glass.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, "who could have predicted" and "nobody wants a govt job anyway so you can't fire us."
mircea_popescu: not how it works irl on any models that don't include "we need to be seen as doing something please god" as a hard constraint.
mircea_popescu: more like, the usg is under the pressure to appear to be doing something, has settled on "chipping", ie, o noes if an eth splits off bitcoin that'll be bad for bitcoin!!!1
mircea_popescu: i know that out of the past 1mn i traded, 0% was on an exchange.
mircea_popescu: eh, "nearly 20 exchanges", wut. "exchange" idiots have managed to trade the 2012 situation, where they had gone from 0 to almost 50% of bitcoin trading for a slow and agonizing death. i'd be surprised if all of them (which within 90% is the first two) actually cover 10% of bitcoin for fiat trade.
mircea_popescu: in other not news, argentine reds are fucking fabulous omfg.
mircea_popescu: plus they got into an argument over the carpeting color in 1956 and split the congregation.
mircea_popescu: absolutely no conceivable reason outside of some jolene or other needing to feel special.
mircea_popescu: why implement deeds stupidly ? dude i dunno, why does apple exist.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't see what the point for deeds is ?!
mircea_popescu: anywya, the reason i linked it is because obviously the ~whole space readily reduces to "what a number of people understood and remembered of what they at some point read on #trilema"
mircea_popescu: l0 is verified by the bitcoin network as part of its functioning. l1 can be verified by anyone with a full blockchain.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall earlier discussion re "what is segwit" / deedbot ?
mircea_popescu: not to mention it keeps on growing, like any blockchain.
mircea_popescu: add to this that there's a long list of such must-know (o hey, bought new house in so and so zone ? does it have a basement ? here's your geiger counter. what do you mean you don't understand ? atten-hut! nobody asked you what you understand, and it'll be 49.95
mircea_popescu: so it stands entirely unrevisable : either you understand it or not ; whether you want it or not : here's your shot. tyranny.
mircea_popescu: tyranny, exactly. "do this or die." that's the definition. and it's not yielding : if the wife/husband have the intellectual wherewithal to understand the whys and wherefores, fine, and bully for them. but if they do not -- it isn't thereby going away, lol.
mircea_popescu: this is, of course, also the natural basis for tyranny. it's nice and good to have independent agents, but there must be some sort of authority which tells them "hey, you're rh-, your husband rh+, you're seven months in, here's your rh antigen shot." this authority may be the wife, may be the husband, but if it's neither of them it'll have to be something outside, and if it is what do you call it ?
mircea_popescu: (hydrops fetalis / rhesus disease crumbs the rh thing)
mircea_popescu: but what this means, obviously, taking the converse... is that there's a lot there than meets the eye. which is the point.
mircea_popescu: which is WHY the "dun fuck your sister" thing is such a huge taboo : a) it will kill you and b) you won't notice. that's the problem with these boiled frogs scenarios, from carbon monoxide poisoning to sibling conception to etc : you got no warning bells connected to THIS failure mode.
mircea_popescu: the problem, however, is that under the skin-deep "kid is fine", his passive genetics have seriously weakened. if he lives as part of a larger population that does this, a few generations down the road genetic decay manifests and there's literally no hope -- the population will either move to exogamy or die out.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: oimmunity against either current fetus or, even more perverse, against the NEXT. girl has kid fine, but also prepares herself to murder next horribly. nature is FULL of such traps.)
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628783 << to briefly revisit : contrary to what general public might expect (tm), if brother and sister conceive together the result is going to be a perfectly fine baby by any standards. yes it's possible they spawn a monster, but not likely, and moreover this is possible anyway. (for instance : rh negative women (but not positive) impregnated by rh positive man can and often do develop aut
☝︎ mircea_popescu: there's about 6-700k "career" dorks who won't be making their mortage payments this year.
