mircea_popescu: i can ; but the rule is that question is fit to the closest non-contradicting context.
mircea_popescu: i thought you were asking IF THE CURE IS BITTER!
ben_vulpes: i hope i don't taste like blueberries, and further how would you know?!
ben_vulpes: generic 'i dun wanna work' excuse.
ben_vulpes: then "omg tensions were so high yesterday i don't want to come in" ☟︎
asciilifeform: i have nfi if these were actually sold or only eternally threatened to market.
asciilifeform: many years ago, i was working in uni. of md., in the same building as one of the 'root dns' boxes. we had no fewer than 4 stationary diesels, of various makes. they worked.
asciilifeform: the most comical situation was of course in usgland. i was working at an army base, and there were the most titanically impressive generators i've ever seen, each easily the size of a train car, diesel cisterns two stories high, etc. BUT we still lost power in the lab. because somehow it wasn't connected to it.
asciilifeform: (where i live, anyway)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the pictured gensets are what most folks have where i live.
ben_vulpes: i was just looking at fuel consumption as an upper bound
mircea_popescu: neway, i was thinking more of something a la http://www.steadypower.com/products.php?product=AKSA-APD%252dAT100-Generator-%28100kW%29
ben_vulpes: 'power supply' to me means i dial a voltage and it holds it to a hundredth of a volt.
ben_vulpes: i doubt a binary-only 'bitcoinalike' would fly even were it wot-o-genic
mircea_popescu: i presume.
Framedragger: i dunno. gonna be interesting. will update if any good comes out of it (or bad..)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah i mean.. yeah. it's almost as if: if bitcoin valuation of ip returns > 0, then bitcoin failed in terms of one of its design principles, or something
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480172 << i'll pass, let whoever's getting paid for this handle it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: trinque: i have nfi what is meant
trinque: I've been searching, haven't found
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 14:21 mod6: speaking of which, i think I'm going to need to rework this whole antecedent thing. while building it, it seemed to make sense to me, but now, looking at it through a different set of eyes, it seems unintuitive at best, out right backwards at worst.
Framedragger: i detest these glossy landing page designs. then again, maybe a stability point has been reached on the web, in the sense of content-less websites now employing a content-less form
mircea_popescu: basically. i mean, that's the point right ? for people to pick up tickets and push through
mod6: hmm. ok. i gotta run here for a bit. will think on it a bit more. thanks!
mod6: yeah, i see how that, especially in this case as opposed to V does warp the mind a bit.
mircea_popescu: of course, they go with the logic flow, i suppose.
mod6: just not sure if anyone else will see it that way. but i guess that doesn't quite matter either.
mod6: which is why I think your graph for UCI is correct.
mod6: ok! so you're looking at it the same way i was then -- and I thought this yesterday.
tb0t: Project: UCI, ID: 7, Type: I, Subject: Research and design UCI/worker interface., Antecedents: 3,4,5,6, Notes: UCI element should expose significant portions of native ability (at a very minimum networking ; math processing - CPU and VidCard ; storage - RAM and HDD) through an unified, lightweight interface. Feature load less important than simplicity.
mircea_popescu: but not exactly see, because for instance in uti oops i mean uci thing : 4 doesn't block 7 if 3 is present say.
mod6: i.e.
mod6: so... all of these obnoxious mental gymnastics are because i didn't want to use the term "blocker"
mircea_popescu: mod6 i've been thinking about it since yest.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i'm sure you've had good fun with them :)
mod6: boy. i think that the logic might be correct in there -- but boy oh boy is "ANTECEDENT(s)" a bad label.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: i have much of this rubbish in hardcopy here.
mircea_popescu: <mirceayyy> I'm Lilly. I am a very liberal SJW activist who is also into very kinky sex. I am on here to finally to what I know in my heart is right and fair and find an African American person whom wants to own a white slave. I am very obedient, can cook, clean, and do whatever else would be required of me."
Framedragger: i do remember investigating how a few of them ring 0 windows rootkits work, thereby sort of delving into NT internals... it's a world unto itself. and it's full of objects!!! ah, childhood :D
Framedragger: ah, right, i see why you'd think that. yeah so something of the kind, partially. ugh M$
mircea_popescu: so yeah i guess half of one.
Framedragger: i don't think it's a complete stack trace. it's just timestamps?
mod6: speaking of which, i think I'm going to need to rework this whole antecedent thing. while building it, it seemed to make sense to me, but now, looking at it through a different set of eyes, it seems unintuitive at best, out right backwards at worst. ☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2015-12-17 23:25 ascii_field: meanwhile, 'socket no message in first 60 seconds, 0 1' between two boxes which i control
a111: Logged on 2016-05-25 20:46 mircea_popescu: the system's been around for decades ; i fucked a bunch in my day. recently they tried to close the thing down, arrested gals by the pail, but... from what i hear it didn't take.
davout: in other words i don't get how a worker could be made if the interface it should honor isn't defined beforehand
davout: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479673 <<< it does, however when i look at http://thebitcoin.foundation/tickets/UCI_tickets.html it seems to me #7 should be an antecedent of 3,4,5,6 but not the other way around ☝︎
mod6: should I just send you what I've got?
mod6: BingoBoingo hey, turns out that I won't have time to finish this tonight, and probably not until tomorrow night at very earliest.
BingoBoingo: You use the limited necessary set of html markup to accomplish the task <b> <i> <a> <blockquote> etc
mod6: do I have to add the HTML, links and all that? Or do you do the mark up?
asciilifeform: i very deeply grasp ~what~ mircea_popescu wants to achieve with this thing, and it is a thing that direly needs doing. but not so trivial!
mircea_popescu: but in general, i fully expect this to work in the sense that random kid makes money to play everquest or w/e the fuck he plays through the avenue of renting the box.
asciilifeform: damn and here i was expecting a philosopher's stone!1111
mircea_popescu: and that's just about all i care about.
mircea_popescu: i know it's not an ~insurmountable~ problem, in the context and per the definitions relevant.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't have a solution ; because this is a design not an implementation.
asciilifeform: this is an approachable problem, and i wanted to learn what mircea_popescu 's approach is.
mircea_popescu: client that hoses boxes i suppose doesn't get to rent more, what.
mircea_popescu: this is the borg. cube lands and starts sucking the earth from under their feet. no shits given, at all, much like i don't look for anthill oppinions before during or after real estate development.
mircea_popescu: but you discuss it as if i'd give a half of a flying fuck.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 01:09 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1479838 << i was speaking of how most folks even get their proggy on the infected boxes in the first place
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1479839 << really, who the everloving shit cares about the needs, hopes and aspirations of 19yo script kiddies. fuck 'em. maybe if they have a sister and she's slutty i might be interested. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 00:23 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479676 << i suspect that there are not half a million machines with decent bandwidth and disk.
mircea_popescu: currently we have "reliable", and i don't want it.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 00:22 asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479673 << i distinctly recall mircea_popescu outlining this wish list a while back. but must confess that i suspect cpu cycle rental - even PINCHED cycles from OTHER PEOPLE, in botnet - to be a -ev proposition. strange, but there it is.

phf: but then i'm just talking out of my ass, i've been out of that field for a long time. i just suspect that the scenario you describe is already pretty common and is probably part of разборки
phf: i've been burned by fellow scriptkiddies back in my scriptkiddy days enough times to not trust anyone with that sort of open access. i thought that would be the case with others. perhaps there's a distinction between "us" and "johns" happening here. if the person is paying for botnet access, is probably mark to begin with
asciilifeform: i have nfi what will replace it.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 01:03 phf: asciilifeform: i thought that botnets had pre-programmed set of functions, like "rent botnet to ddos" or "rent botnet to spam", and that functions were provided by owner

mod6: i'll see what i can do, ya. ok.
mod6: i probably could/should have all of the tickets clumped under one tree. but i need to work on the tickets and ordering etc.
asciilifeform: i have it on a 2160x3840 display
mod6: its hard because there are like a number of disconnected graphs, or hard because of mental gymnastics? i'd like to make it better, so your input helps.
shinohai: Since we finished the rss thing last night, I'm already working on a new one xD
shinohai: And really fun, learned a lot about perl I didn't before.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:42 mod6: I'm not much of a writer. Obviously.
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479757 Says "I'm not much of a writer", writes awesome bot. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: mod6 anyway, go ahead an' write it up, i already did a qntra today
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479756 <<< i dun recall where that got mired ; iirc mike_c wanted some data from trinque no idea if he ever got it an' he's been kinda awol. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:39 mod6: I feel like we've needed this tool for some time as he was only needing a way to track and graph the work required.
mod6: But I'll take a shot at it I guess as long as the proceeds can be donated to The Bitcoin Foundation.
mod6: I'm not much of a writer. Obviously. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mod6: Well I asked the question in case you or mircea_popescu wanted to have the honor of writing up T
mod6: I feel like we've needed this tool for some time as he was only needing a way to track and graph the work required. ☟︎
mod6: i guess this can be re-worked if it invokes too much mental gymnastics.
mod6: so for ticket 6, i may have put in its antecedent as 7
mod6: ooh, i see
mod6: yah, i kinda modled it after how the tree looks for V.
mircea_popescu: i guess just takes getting used to
mod6: ok then that should be fine it kinda looks funny i suppose. but 1 is the root.
mircea_popescu: did i do them backwards ?
mircea_popescu: i'd give it a few mins.
mod6: i'll check into that.
