BingoBoingo: But he's probably not here for instead having answered a different puzzler.
BingoBoingo: What the police would call here "a warehouse"

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: By appearances this would be a "boca de pasta" that keeps the folks on the ground supplied.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917487 << I imagine there's not much room to be corrupting Raleigh or the East Coast USA one local trade at a time. In contrast each local trade in Uruguay can chip away at the USDubaloo position as the local reserve currency. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917490 << The long USD position was during the recent market bottom. Now datacenter needs paid monthly again and I don't know if going USD long is the most prudent decision. Jurov put in a bid for the DC wire, and I'm curious if the bidding will get more heated near the end as it did with the smaller 500 USD auctions. ☝︎

asciilifeform could've sworn there was a thread, and not long ago, where diana_coman said on what iron this was done. but cannot nao find it in O(1) !
asciilifeform: iirc -- it is possible to run diana_coman's mechanism from a bottle. sadly i dun have enuff hands just nao , to attempt
asciilifeform: s b) diana_coman was using a live fg rather than bottle
asciilifeform: loox like diana_coman also used 2048b primes in test of diana_comantronic system ; 'A relatively short test run obtained 40 random primes of 2048 bits each in 13274 seconds in total (3.7 hours) meaning on average 331.85 seconds per prime (~6 minutes)' and diana_coman's 'winner' gets 16 shots; but caveats, a) we have diff iron ☟︎
asciilifeform: nao it ~is~ possible that in avg case ( again, if not obv, the above could easily be a fluke, given as whole algo is monte carlo ) there is greater economy.

mircea_popescu: someone explained somewhere the popup-human interaction, drom the chairwarmer pov : "perceives it as roadblock, clicks it away like his grandfather cut a clearing through bushes"
mircea_popescu: mroe recently. back in 2014 it was a lot of "bullet is meat too!!!"
mircea_popescu: "nobody does ill willingly" ? gimme a fucking break, seems the better definition for average human / subhuman (no, the two aren't distinct or distinguishable) readily reduces to "does nothing but ill".
mircea_popescu: about anything else, that in fact their masters do so take, "real" estate, small business models, whatever -- not a peep.
mircea_popescu: and take with a side helping of jerking around, of course. why not, it's free -- for them.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917460 << sorta why i see the asic thing as a serious failure. as i understand, the centralization of supply is extreme, and gettin' worse ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( e.g. paypalism : generally the 'they store errything and froze acct' is a when, not if )
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 19:33 asciilifeform: output of subj, on the off-chance that anyone gives a damn.
asciilifeform: timing tests gotta use a snapshotted FG bin always, otherwise the variation in fg piss rate obscures the item being measured.
asciilifeform: while on subj : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Mg63b/?raw=true << pieces of latest (not yet complete) experiment. when fed to a 32768bit peh run, produces the 32768-bit primorial (i.e. shows that the 17 2048bit cuts actually multiply to it ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: aand for that matter, if you were to put in a random turd instead of the primorial, you will still get valid primes, will simply take longer (i.e. the prefilter won't work)
asciilifeform: ( re upstack, note that primegen.peh can be written without any long constants, i.e. generate primorial at warmup. this simply costs a coupla extra min. )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917441 << this is moar or less asciilifeform's exact position. mircea_popescu i rec. to glance at ch18, it has good picture of this (i.e. reader is not offered 'use this tape', is offered 'here's how to bake a primegen' ; instead of 'here's magic constant', given 'here's how it is made' etc ) ☝︎
Mocky: i have a coin to repay mircea_popescu and now that i have what with to trade, expect to be a continuous bidder on piz auctions ☟︎
Mocky: I just met a few cool people from LBC, like that guy who sold me a few grand of crumpled 20's out of his girls sequin'd 'stripper purse'
mircea_popescu was vaguely consdiering sending a large wire for pizz again, on the grounds of this vague impression i have they're desperate for liquidity.

mircea_popescu: you want privacy when you're killing some dumb fuck, not when you're sitting with the vidya)
mircea_popescu: currently you can put a much better price on privacy (and meaningful, too, as a % of the wealth involved -- contrary to what the poortards imagine, privacy is not an abstract, privacy is strictly a function of money as a counter of value.

mircea_popescu: if so, your created relationships / network you sucked out of them just became more valuable now. if not -- well let that be a fucking lesson to you already, right ? reddit exists SOLELY to suck its users off it (selectively, of course, they can keep their ninjashoguns) ; not to send it your blog readers.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-28 22:16 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, thinkign about it, there's just no way to have a proper trb without the rainbows. and yes it'd be 32 gb, but so what. the point stands, there is a minimal bitcoin box.

mircea_popescu: who knew ~this~ is the sorta thing a chromosome does. i swear i couldn't have said for looking at it (and yes, spent >worldaverage amt of time looking at chromosomes).
mircea_popescu: (i eminently do not say it has no failure rate. not even pregnancy tests make that sorta claim -- piss on one as a dude long enough you might be surprised eventually.)
mircea_popescu: as per the "males -- born to die trying ; females -- born to carefully & spawn" theory of biological gender difference, it even makes sense. in any case, the included prediction : i say there's not going to be a better (oral ; over the internet) gender test.
diana_coman: most game's economies as far I know are a sort of "feeling like an X economy" really
mircea_popescu: whether they're reducible to one another or not is a point i'm still waffly on, so.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 21:05 mircea_popescu: cuz it's never dark, from inside. the amusing situation of classical eschatology is that lucifer simply forked the chain, and as best can tell is a very credible and not at all falen angel.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917318 << on contemplation : i can see the "don't be taking your own vows to the monastery [because god never heard of you]" in your quote ; but in honesty i was looking more for a "god is very obviouly on the side of the monastey (and if this isn't at all obvious to you that'd be a cause of concern) [so don't be taking any vows to the monaster ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: dumb as it is, it's not merely widespread, it's universal. "the path to making money in a service economy is not at all doing exceptionally well at serving, but on the contrary, being a fucktarded romanian and saying no all the time!"
mircea_popescu: the problem with these is that they're all deeply persuaded, but i do mean DEEPLY, like, in the nephritic layer of their kidneys deep, that the ONE thing to do if you're making a game is rate-limit it.
asciilifeform: fwiw i suspect that even today, a very similar logic drives some substantial % of minerism

BingoBoingo: It is and has been a sort of centralized thing.
asciilifeform: arguably was never anyffin other than a 'decentralization-flavoured' honeypot.

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in upstack lulz, a 32768-bit primorial ! eats 63min 49s on tester, and holds 1st 2553 primes.
asciilifeform: ... so in principle if you wanted to litmus against the 1st 1386 primes, in a 2048bit primegen , you will need 8 gcd litmusen, each with a separate 2048b constant.
asciilifeform: ...elementarily, the procedure where gcd(N, P), where P is a primorial, can be turned into two: gcd(N, P1) and gcd(N, P2) , where P1 and P2 ea. have half the bitness of the larger P ( recall effect of multiplication on bitness . )
asciilifeform: in the didactic tape of ch18, i used strictly a single primorial litmus, with strictly 1st n primes that sit down in given width. but this is solely for simplicity of demo.
asciilifeform: these can never be abolished (or who would need m-r then...) but can be reduced, to some extent, as one particular shot of gcd is substantially cheaper than a single shot of m-r ☝︎
asciilifeform: for comparison : a 4096bit fz can hold product of 1st 418 primes ; a 8192bit fz -- the 1st 758 primes.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the torture room : 2048-bit primorial is product of 1st 233 primes, i.e. 2,3,5,...,1471 . not so many. theoretically it may be worth the sweat to include a multi-part primorial (i.e. ~set~ of gcd litmusen, each within the permitted width) . this gives correspondingly faster pre-mr sieving, at expense of coupla extra ln. of peh, per. at what point diminishing retu
asciilifeform: notion here being, not all of the knobs on trad. physical box, are useful in a sim
asciilifeform: potentially. wouldn't want to live in a sim like this round the clock. but also had thought: so long as hypothetical controller for these logs the eggogs, it could easily be Right Thing for e.g. shared hoster.
mircea_popescu: it's gonna be a pain to debug.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, might get terrible trying to debug a complex program
mircea_popescu: just as fucking long as it doesn't amount to a hill of beans, they're a-for it.

a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 14:07 mircea_popescu: the basic, and really only, rule of hermeneutics is : that then you've understood a text when, far from its shortcomings appearing inexplicable errors, they become the actual pillars upon which the damned thing is constructed, and what originally seemed to you sensible and structural takes its true place as accidental.

diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: note the dissonance in your approach - if you want reputation here, you need to do stuff that is useful here (there's a long list of such stuff that needs doing, pick, start on it and document as you go/ask politely and intelligently for help when you need it); onth if you want "reputation" for landing a programming job irl, dropping links here won't help (I doubt the Edgecase thing will help either but that's entirely up to

a111: Logged on 2019-06-02 19:19 BingoBoingo: In order to break the present state of sin and approach the proposed, more reasonable figure, going forward my inclination is to have box rental priced to recover 90% of their book cost over the first year's rents and in following years track 50% per annum as a longevity discount.
mircea_popescu: i dun have a problem with paying rental till then
BingoBoingo: Many hours have been spent log digging and the big take away is that while overspecing a contract to cover every contingency is bad, time doesn't ever stop what happens at renewal time has to be clear.
BingoBoingo: Right. With all of that, I am inclined to take on good faith that the boxes will arrive in a not ridiculous timeline and simply start charging a pure colo rate to S.MG.
BingoBoingo: Right, they gotta be bought, tested, and entered into the datacenter before the final tally comes in we can use for basing a price.
asciilifeform: ( i do have to buy'em and properly test before flying'em, tho, and it is ~conceivable~ that one will be a dud and get mailed back etc )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If you can get the boxes delivered this summer (Pizarrostan winter), I am very inclined to end the awful log archaeology attempt at rental pricing the two boxes in question now. There's a bunch of logmess and little clarity on what ought to be charged for rental on the boxes until the swap boxes are priced.
BingoBoingo: When we have a new price
mircea_popescu: you seriously expect me to pay a year's worth of service with bitcoin evaluated 2/3 of market price ?
