asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ^ better how?
mircea_popescu: moar reliable, for one o.O
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and must nitpick, but it isn't the current therealbitcoin yet. not until patches are ratified.
mircea_popescu: i do not think i have seen a full sync with 0 pagefaults yuet
asciilifeform shudders that this set of graph axes exists: http://thebitcoin.foundation/test/perf/v0_5_3_1-RELEASE-Plus-OrphanageThermonuke-And-TXOrphanageAmputation/20150604/Page_Faults.png
assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1EYO2HL )
asciilifeform: 'page faults / second'
asciilifeform: who runs -what- that generates multiple page faults / hour, much less second ?
mod6: yeah, previous test with only OrphanageThermonuke did have at least one spot where a "major pagefault" was detected: http://thebitcoin.foundation/test/perf/v0_5_3_1-RELEASE-Plus-OrphanageThermonuke/20150512/Page_Faults.png
assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1EYO4PP )
asciilifeform: mod6: do we know in what process ?
asciilifeform: if it was bitcoind, i want the crash dump
asciilifeform: and that'd be pretty major
mod6: no, it's system level. all I can tell you is all that is running as far as 3rd party things are: bitcoind & nmon, otherwise i've had `vmstat 1` going.
asciilifeform: http://thebitcoin.foundation/test/perf/v0_5_3_1-RELEASE-Plus-OrphanageThermonuke-And-TXOrphanageAmputation/20150604/Memory.png << reasonably flat. but the 'whole machine' stats thing is a terrible kludge imho
assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1EYObe6 )
asciilifeform: gotta pick on just bitcoind
mod6: i'll continue to do more testing. we'll hopefully get something out of it.
asciilifeform: still neat pics

mod6: im gonna try some profiles this month.

mod6: <+asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: and must nitpick, but it isn't the current therealbitcoin yet. not until patches are ratified. << we'll get there. I'd like to have a discussion at some point about the possible negitive effects of at least the TX Orphanage Amputation patch.
mod6: But so far, I feel good that these two patches fully sync'd and with some reasonable results.
asciilifeform: mod6: if you have an essay-length treatise on this, might be better to drop it in the mailing list
asciilifeform: otherwise here works
BingoBoingo: Damn, a double phuct'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that was, i think, another 'magic list' item
mod6: yeah, i think just in here, we can discuss. be better for me to spend a bit of time thinking about it for a day or two.. sometime this week maybe.
BingoBoingo: Ah
mod6: ben_vulpes: should read up on this too ^^
asciilifeform: mod6: notably, bitcoind 0.5.3 stock actually had the orphan tx cache limit
asciilifeform: but i nuked the cache entirely in the interest of reducing fragging
asciilifeform: what i did not have time to do is to measure whether this had the intended effect.
asciilifeform: the other effect of nuking the tx orphanage is zapping the obvious ddos vector of folks crapping deliberately spurious tx into a node
asciilifeform: in general i favour the principle of 'if it cannot be verified RIGHT NOW, it is garbage'
asciilifeform: the very notion of storing things which 'might be verifiable later' runs against the overall flavour of a mechanism designed to face a -maximally- hostile universe
mod6: sure. i was kinda wondering about the converse side where there is an orphaned TX, and then what? guy just resends?
asciilifeform: where every other node is a gavinous abomination
asciilifeform: mod6: he rebroadcasts until finds a node that can accept it without 'jam tomorrow' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Last I checked Hearn still breathes so universe is still maximally hostile.
mod6: hah
asciilifeform: consider the actual scenario whereby a tx is 'orphan'
asciilifeform: i.e. what causes it to fall into that category ?
mod6: asciilifeform: ok. i'll have to think on that a bit more. i wanna be sure of what these changes imply. anyway, a guy can always patch his own if he wishes in the mean time.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 30064771079/4294967297 =... 7. so now we also have 7.
mircea_popescu: i am persuaded pretty much every prime up to 1k or so is present in the whole set.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a statistical certainty
mircea_popescu: ye
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i.e. what causes it to fall into that category ? << right, some sort of malformed tx or one that has some weird time in the tx that makes it get rejected or some such thing.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> in general i favour the principle of 'if it cannot be verified RIGHT NOW, it is garbage' << i agree with the wisdom of this, for the reasons stated.
asciilifeform: mod6: it is absolutely essential to understand the mechanics
mod6: more over, is there a "normal" situation that arises where a guy is trying to create a transaction and it becomes an orphan? his system time is off? many things i suppose...
asciilifeform: an 'orphan tx' is simply one which references a tx which is not yet seen
asciilifeform: this can happen if multiple interdependent tx are sent in quick succession
asciilifeform: say, from a robotic 'hot wallet'
mod6: so [A_tx]<-[B_tx] are both sent
mod6: B is recieved before A, so B is 'orphan'
asciilifeform: if no one had an orphan tx cache at all, the robot would be the only one broadcasting B until A is in a block.
asciilifeform: no one would rebroadcast it for him
asciilifeform: because it could be a work of fiction
mod6: ok
asciilifeform: whereas right now there is 'benefit of the doubt', largely harmless because 1) 'everyone' has infinite ram 2) no one is crapping out spurious tx in earnest
mod6: yeah, like i said, i gotta look into it. :]
mircea_popescu: practically, this might put a dent in dice type services, in the sense that it'd slow them down by ~10 minutes
mircea_popescu: not sure this is terribru
asciilifeform: 'CoinJoin' will also die.
BingoBoingo: Kinda why listable Satoshidice worked as it did
asciilifeform: as far as i'm concerned, nuking the tx orphanage cuts away some of the remaining 'promise' crud from the protocol, leaving the cold metal for which i for one love it
asciilifeform: i will not cry for the 'promises'
asciilifeform: also note that you (node) are free to broadcast a tx that refers to a not-yet-in-block tx. just that other people will throw it straight to dev null
mircea_popescu: coinjoin is not even stupid it's so fucking dumb.
asciilifeform: aha
mircea_popescu: let's stick to considering things that have a shot at making sense.
asciilifeform: srsly one can't take so much as a shit without some 'coder' building a 'career' on it
asciilifeform: the implications of requiring a tx to refer -only- to tx in blocks in order to be rebroadcastable can be described exhaustively
asciilifeform: we may have already done so - or not
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> srsly one can't take so much as a shit without some 'coder' building a 'career' on it << Coders are like asparagus in this way. They love their easy nitrogen and phosphorous
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'll be running this too.
mircea_popescu: see if anyone can spot a problem with it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if running tests, consider the igprof patch
asciilifeform: it is very very spiffy
mircea_popescu: mp is still not a coder. his magics lie elsewhere.
asciilifeform: needless to say, do not use in battlefield conditions
asciilifeform: (for one thing, it brings in dl)
mircea_popescu: ima think about this while playing go with people who are also thinking about this, how's that.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno.
asciilifeform: trinque: the basic crime of herr force - aside from the unforgivable 'didn't pass the bakshish up the chain' - is that a commoner has pretense to lordly things
trinque: asciilifeform: here's a better scam; kill the price for a bit by imploding gox
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the latter. the former only exists in imagination.

mircea_popescu: there is not enough bakshees to pass up the chain, because bitcoin is not fiat. they need > 9k% to be satisfied.

mircea_popescu: but think of it this way : never, in the history of tyhe world, did ~they~ ever destroy anything.
mircea_popescu: if they can, they'll just fgill it with straw and keep pretending.
asciilifeform: yes, it's the flames that destroy, not the boy with the matches
mircea_popescu: mtgox's fall took specific, directed pushing
mircea_popescu: and they tried tooth and nail to keep on.
mircea_popescu: so did everything else, so does everything else.
mircea_popescu: the woman that is the state yields eventually, once squeezed enough. not before.

danielpbarron: depends.. how pig are your pockets?
trinque: shmadz: define secure
trinque: important to define terms
danielpbarron: you can read the log securely from your phone, although even this is much more enjoyable on a real computer
shmadz: right, I want a solution that is roughly the same size as Samsung note, and runs native Linux, or some secure version of android, if that even exists
trinque: shmadz: again, you need to define secure
trinque: reason being, should you specifically define it, you may find there is no existing device that meets the spec
trinque: or otherwise, it's important to note which actions can and cannot be securely taken on a phone
trinque: which is to say, if you wouldn't do it outside the police station, don't do it on a phone either
trinque: should be obvious
trinque: if you want a phone which does not track your every step, you will not find it
trinque: nor one that respects the privacy of the data you store on it
trinque: so on
danielpbarron: shmadz, if you find yourself in the situation where you need to gpg on the go, you are finding yourself in the wrong situations
trinque: well put
shmadz: thank you, not the answer I'm looking for, but this makes me think there is an opportunity to make the device I want. why is there not secure Linux that can run on a phone-like device?
trinque: man, I dunno that there's a secure linux either
trinque: it's not a 1 or 0 thing
trinque: depends on who the adversary is
danielpbarron: reminds me of the failed key signing party at the last porc fest -- the one after which nobody ended up getting their key signed because all the time was taken setting up a temporary key server when all we had to do was trade fingerprints and sign it later back at home
shmadz: ok, thanks for your help, and thanks for the !up, I think I'm gonna try a remote server to manage the keys, and just remote in from the phone? I don't see any secure solution to my problem atm
danielpbarron: the keys don't need to be on the remote server
danielpbarron: another computer can and should be used to sign and decrypt, and this computer should not be connected to any networks
shmadz: ok, just like offline signing bitcoin transactions? so you use USB to transfer? or you do it by hand? Or what?

The FH programs offer modifications on the basis of borrower incom

The first section of the chapter shows how the programs resemble government safety net programs, except that the marginal income tax rates from mortgage modification far exceed 100 percent in some instances.” It turned out that a person’s mortgage payments would be reduced by $1.31 for every $1 fall in income. In other words a lower-income American with a mo

Mulligan also notes that as the program was unfavorable to lenders they had a huge incentive to “promote borrower confusion and uncertainty about the disposition of their modification application.” (i.e., the bureaucratic run-around might not have been accidental!)

mircea_popescu: http://www.fredoneverything.net/Commentators.shtml << dude i'm so fucking sick of this inept egalitatianism.
mircea_popescu: the point isn't that smart people are somehow misguidedly imagining that everyone's smart like them.
mircea_popescu: the point is that people who aren't like them have no fucking business here.
chetty: and I thought wasmostly dumb people imaging everyone else was too
mircea_popescu: that's common enough.
mircea_popescu: but specifically dregs like
mircea_popescu: "I often see victims of Commentator’s Disease arguing against the minimum wage on abstract grounds of economic theory. It is what commentators do—bandy abstractions, railing for or against Keynes, assaulting their ideological opponents with pointed phrases. They have never had to do the arithmetic of forty times the minimum wage minus taxes minus bus fare minus rent and gotta pay the cable because it is the only th
mircea_popescu: ing they have after work. They have never had to choose between the electric bill and a new coat as winter comes on."
mircea_popescu: dude... who the fuck said x SHOULDNT have to choose between electricity and a coat.
mircea_popescu: this is what fucking economy is. choice.
mircea_popescu: and yes, people don't get all they want, and the stupid don't get "basics" whereas the smart don't get "unimportant stuff".
mircea_popescu: this has more to do with the fact that ipso definitio the preoccupations of the stupid will be banal. they don't have what with to miss things above a coat.
mircea_popescu: if we're in weepathon mode, how about for every coat some poor kid borne by stupid parents never got,
mircea_popescu: we count the fifty billion complex mechanical dragonflies rich kids borne by smart parents never got.
jurov: http://www.explo.yt/eulora/Eulora-June12015-win32.7z anyone wanna try it? i should have borrowed alf's ascii art, tho :D
chetty: well simple fact is raising the min wage isnt going to get that coat anyway, so its a silly argument
mircea_popescu: i have to choose between fixing X software and Y policy. because the idiots that came before me have made NOT ONE RIGHT THING.
mircea_popescu: not one.
mircea_popescu: nothing's correctly made.
mircea_popescu: jurov has to choose between taking 3 gb out of the 4gb binary or fixing email.

jurov: 500M in the end
mircea_popescu: fucking hell, poor idiots and their coats, i hope they never see a coat again and live in antarctica for the rest of their dais.
mircea_popescu: chetty sure, but whatr insults me here is the pretense that somehow the feelings of the bovine are more important inasmuch as they;re mostly absent.

mike_c: jurov: is that a debug build?
jurov: yes
mircea_popescu: why ?
mike_c: wouldn't run because missing msvcp100d.dll, the debug version of that library.

mircea_popescu: aok
cazalla: kuzetsa, p99?
kuzetsa: no, proper everquest (even though it's now run by daybreak games ever since the sony online entertainment studio had all the rights sold)
cazalla: yeah, i heard about that, my bet is eqn gets shitcanned too
cazalla: best mmorpg evar, but i can't imagine playing eq post velious tbh
kuzetsa: loosing out on whatever EQN supposedly brought with it isn't anything I'll miss (hell, I was never invested into such things enough to even know what it is)
kuzetsa: I'm pretty sure AAs were pre-velious
kuzetsa: I've got a non-zero amount of AAs on my main
cazalla: AAs came with PoP
cazalla: actually might've been luclin
kuzetsa: I've gotta admit, I never paid attention to the timeline enough to know if planes of power / luclin / velious / etc. etc. etc. came before or after <other expansion>
cazalla: kunark, velious, luclin, planes of power, frog xpac which was the first dlc (when i quit)
kuzetsa: nod
cazalla: i spent 16 hours a day playing that shit for years so..
kuzetsa: I did that on starwars galaxies
cazalla: never played it but i have read that it was great prior to some big patch
kuzetsa: I started with everquest, but once that came out SWG became my main MMO for 7 years but then they shut it down a while ago so I dunno
kuzetsa: I miss it, and that "old republic" MMO is rubbish and almost none of my friends from SWG liked it and neither did I lol
cazalla: i still have my old eq boxes with the keith parkinson artwork, wouldn't mind getting some of his long ago signed pieces http://www.keithparkinson.com/images/sov.jpg but can't really spring for it at this point
