01:26 adlai http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-09#1051456 << this is a fundamental cultural dichotomy, imo ; some folks simply have a feudalism-compatible worldview, despite perhaps hoping that their pretty daughter marries upwards
01:26 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-09 14:18:32 mats: it matters to putin at least, can't be out there showing off multi billion dollar estates and offshored bank accounts while many russians live in the mud
01:30 adlai the examples with which I'm familiar are from 'Israeli' oligarchs; a few of these are 0th-generation immigrants from e.g. USSR collapse, who bought their way into the nation, while others are families that did so over half a century ago ; in either case, the mode of opinions is surprisingly close to a laissez-faire attitude, where any great fortune being spent on luxuries is simply part
01:30 adlai of the economy, and we should all be glad that the fortune is being spent rather than adsorbing dust in a vault
01:31 adlai of course, in the case of the former prime minister, this was countered by a significant minority who actively picketed his residence, and protested with iconography verging upon the limits between free speech and incitement to violence ; yet most oligarchs are not stupid enough to become prime minister
01:32 vex his aussie neighbour is having issues
01:35 vex fucking with his casino license
01:37 adlai http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-09#1051486 << fwiw, my SR1-related arrest has passed the deadline for local prosecutors to press charges, and I'm considering doing a writeup; it deserves a bit more than an IRC tl;dr
01:37 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-09 14:33:37 mats: not like any idiot with a horse and cart could participate in the silk road anyway
01:39 adlai however, the IRC tl;dr is that I conducted enough commerce via SR1 to get arrested as local bigshot, rather than mere plebe dope fiend ; and this was in 2013, with coin purchased in 2013... not much room for excitement
01:39 * adlai does, at times, suspect that he walked into some sort of interpol spiderweb
01:40 adlai dang vex peaced just as I arrived! mebbe next time.
01:40 * adlai continues reading logs
01:45 adlai http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-09#1051508 << I'm familiar with the "five eyes" epithet , i.e. USA & four out of the former british empire ; who are the other nine?
01:45 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-09 14:43:58 mats: i understand attribution is difficult, but the fourteen eyes still have a unique, panopticon view of the planetary network
01:48 adlai http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-09#1051553 << shugger blyut.
01:48 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-09 15:29:55 asciilifeform: oh hey the old qntra finally RIP. ( asciilifeform's mirror covers, fortunately, entirety of it ! )
01:50 adlai there were a few (i.e. "significantly more than zero; and plural, too!") things that MP bankrolled, that kept me around before I ever had a personal stake in things, and Qntra, along with puzzling over the S.QNTR model, was one of these
01:51 adlai text in quotes is not a precise quotation, although aims to approximate the author's response to the question, "so how many humans are fluent in this Lojban language that you invented?"
01:55 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-11#1052228 << sounds promisingly entertaining, would read
01:55 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-11 21:35:12 adlai: however, the IRC tl;dr is that I conducted enough commerce via SR1 to get arrested as local bigshot, rather than mere plebe dope fiend ; and this was in 2013, with coin purchased in 2013... not much room for excitement
01:55 * adlai does wonder -- loudly! -- when and whether alf's single-parent ISP corp will be accepting new customers
01:56 asciilifeform adlai: well asciilifeform expanded the ip addr park recently, and wasn't all for self, lol
01:58 asciilifeform adlai: were you interested in hosting sumthing?
02:00 adlai yes; as I have mentioned before, my 'bouncer' is a little charity thing that tacoma narrowsed under tradebot levels of abuse, and I've yet to properly export this out of my own desk.
02:00 * adlai did have an arrangement with jurov for a brief while, when experimenting with S.MPOE ; although, the loads were intentionally heavily ratelimited, not only because MPEx itself was heavily ratelimited
02:01 asciilifeform adlai: i rec the rk for this application.
02:01 adlai S.ALF's DC is physically located in MD, right?
02:02 asciilifeform adlai: aha. it's next to a telco dc, a bulldozer park, etc
02:02 asciilifeform the catalogue has a link to their www if yer curious.
02:02 * adlai is painfully aware that certain goxxes actively ban customers according to geoip, and require KYC checkbox "I am not a US Person [footnote ; sixteen kg of IRS paperwork if box unchecked"]
02:03 asciilifeform adlai: rrright, if yer looking to fix ~that~ , you've come to wrong side of planet
02:03 asciilifeform you'd want the ~opposite~ of asciilifeform's colo.
02:03 adlai most notably, BitMEX did this, and at least had the politeness to notify customers
02:04 * adlai refused to KYC for the sole purpose of getting account frozen ; subsequently got polite "thank you for trading with us; please explain TXIDs A, B, C, ...etc ", despite not filling out their KYC garbage!
02:05 adlai dunno what exactly they expected to get in reply to that email ; "ah yes, that was to the Sheikh's second cousin thrice removed's widow, who needed bikeshed improvement loan"
02:07 adlai asciilifeform: no, I am not hiding my identity from exchanges where I actively trade, nor do I ever plan to do this ; however, I simply stop trading at exchanges that undergo catastrophic management reformattings, and then ask me to KYC for the sole purpose of confirming that my account violates their terms of paperwork reduction
02:07 asciilifeform adlai: simply pointing out that usa is last place you want to connect to goxes from , in general case
02:08 adlai well, 'goxes' is not a homogenous space!
02:08 adlai e.g., encompasses both spot exchanges, and margin casinos.
02:08 * asciilifeform tries to think of an application which calls for proxy ~in~ usa, rather than opposite
02:09 adlai if buddy with coinbase acct decides to test-drive scalpl, this makes sense.
02:10 adlai additionally, certain strangenesses of the internet connectivity graph make it so that using a server in a datacentre on the other side of the world from the desk is more efficient than running from the desk, despite the desk being closer, great-circle-wise, to the exchange.
02:12 * adlai once argued with customer support reps of a margin casino about their recommendation that algotraders rent a VPS next to the exchange, and claimed that it shouldn't matter ~to them~ where in the internet algotraders host ; after a few grammatically-precise politenesses, realized he was probably arguing with chatbot
02:12 asciilifeform adlai: so then, read the instructions and see which if any catalogue item worx for you. (plz note that the prices are not negotiable)
02:12 adlai pffflol, negotiations are for ... negotiators.
02:13 * adlai actually has slightly amusing anecdote on this topic
02:14 adlai current apartment stood empty for an unknown amount of time, before I occupied; and realestate agents informed me that the landlord was flexible about the precise amount of rent.
02:14 adlai so I said, "ok, let's make rent $thismuch" ... agents:"done" ; then we meet landlord to sign paperwork, agents inform her of the rent!
02:15 * adlai does not consider that process negotiation, either ; was only "here is anchor, where is your bid?", as opposed to haggling
02:16 asciilifeform adlai: whatever you want to call it -- it aint how asciilifeform's isp worx. the price is the price.
02:17 adlai right, this is one fundamental difference, imo, between meatspace and the net
02:17 asciilifeform and plox to read carefully sect.2 of the linked manual.
02:17 asciilifeform the current cost calc is here.
02:18 vex when asciilifeform was involved with piz, I seem to recall not usa was an engineering requirement.
02:18 asciilifeform vex: it was, indeed
02:18 adlai upstack slightly: I take this to mean that there is even any use, whatsoever, to considering the costs? I distinctly recall inquiring a while back, iirc in the #trilema days, and getting response "all RKs booked"
02:18 asciilifeform vex: asciilifeform's isp is not, unfortunately, a plug-in replacement for piz.
02:18 asciilifeform adlai: the rk's at piz were certainly booked
02:19 asciilifeform here i have 17 vacant (in fact, in shrinkwrap) rk
02:19 asciilifeform (to be exact -- 12 in shrinkwrap, and 5 ex-piz iirc)
02:20 * adlai always wondered wtf enscheidet tswischen 'pre-owned' and 'used, good as new'
02:20 adlai definitely not the shrinkwrap!
02:21 asciilifeform adlai: compact history of piz for your curiosity. ( if any unclear -- can always ask bingoboingo )
02:21 dulapbot Logged on 2021-07-08 11:59:24 thestringpuller: asciilifeform: having trouble locating the thread on demise of pizarro isp; more specifically the "why" and the "how"
02:21 adlai ty, "al lo davar" ; hebrew idiom roughly consists of literal politeness with impolite connotation that you are wasting your breath
02:22 asciilifeform adlai: subscribers get rk at random, + fresh disk ; if dies -- gets swapped.
02:22 * adlai watched both S.BBET, and S.BISP, meltdowns, blow-by-blow
02:22 asciilifeform hm possib. i misaddressed that comment, it was vex asking 'why in usa'
02:23 adlai well, I was never an investor in either, so it is plausible that I am considered rando.
02:23 * adlai never had neither mpex nor coinbr accts, either; lol!
02:23 asciilifeform adlai: well asciilifeform has you as +2 'horseman of common lisp robopocalypse'
02:24 asciilifeform so not 'rando'
02:24 asciilifeform see handbook re subj.
02:25 adlai fwiw, I must ask a linguistic question, if I am already speaking such nonsense as "never... neither... nor" ; asciilifeform , do you find that you bias towards parity, xor monotonicity, in accumulation of negatives?
02:25 adlai allegedly, russian biases towards monotonicity, whereas anglotard biases towards parity.
02:25 adlai so you are an interesting test case in this regard.
02:25 asciilifeform adlai: elaborate?
02:26 vex lol
02:27 adlai according to written materials, encountered while reading about the modern russian language: when you encounter a sentence containing more than one negative, they do not cancel each other out, in a manner similar to XOR, and instead simply by virtue of having more than one negative modifier, the entire sentence gets a negative connotation.
02:28 vex i'm not laughing at you, that was a real lol, alf asking adlai to eloborate on an elaborate... just lovely
02:28 asciilifeform adlai: this is correct
02:28 adlai so e.g. "never had neither mpex nor coinbr accts" would be considered par for the course, for a russian speaker; whereas if I were writing that in an "English for Hebrew Idjits" class, my teacher would rightly deduct points.
02:29 asciilifeform lol to asciilifeform seemed 100% correct
02:29 asciilifeform adlai: in modern ivrit similar or no ?
02:29 vex I wasn't sure with adlai, sometimes he takes things the wrong way
02:29 adlai fwiw, I have never formally studied hebrew, and have roughly middle-schooler fluency, on paper; yet my impression is that any adult, when confronted with the question of which of these is the correct phrasing, would respond, "why are you saying such complex nonsense? what you, some lawyer nark? stfu!"
02:30 adlai modern hebrew is a remarkably stupefying language, in both written and spoken forms.
02:30 asciilifeform howssat?
02:30 adlai as opposed to english and russian, that both at least seem to admit arbitrarily complex grammatical constructions, even if these might not be commonplace in the vernaculars.
02:31 adlai e.g., subjunctive is M.I.A.
02:31 adlai in hebrew , subjunctive and past imperfect are both functionally and literally equivalent
02:31 asciilifeform hey, conlang, neh, folx dropped 'useless' creepingfeatures, iirc was the idea
02:31 adlai iiuc, this is in both modern and biblical.
02:32 adlai could be that subjunctive postdates the group hallucinations that eventually got formalized into biblical hebrew.
02:32 adlai fwiw, conlangs are not all strict simplifications of naturals
02:33 * asciilifeform aware
02:33 adlai e.g., lojban is a simplification, as far as the lexical topology of how to spell nouns and verbs, and how to order words in a sentence, although iiuc, is a strict complexification of grammar
02:34 adlai grammatically speaking, they (he?) basically, in the case of lojban, said, "let's take the least common multiple of all spoken grammars", in contrast to esperanto's "let's be understandable by monke"
02:35 * vex style monke pretends to understand
02:35 adlai vex: I do not take laughter as insult
02:35 * vex pours moar virtual vodka
02:36 adlai that is one behavior that gets pretty much entirely bred out of idjits during basic training, even if they happen to have acquired it during their first decade of consciousness.
02:36 adlai anyone who takes laughter as insult will get the shit kicked out of them, one chunk at a time.
02:37 vex whao adlai, theres no fighing while i'm pouring
02:37 adlai ofc not!
02:37 adlai fights never happen on parade ground
02:38 adlai entire macroscale effect of basic trainings is abrading mutually ridiculous demographics
02:38 adlai sure, in short term, produces squads, teaches rifle maintenance, etc
02:39 adlai in long term, teaches that mutual ridiculousness is simple fact of being monke, rather than simple fact of "we r great ape, you -- lesser"
02:40 adlai perhaps this does not happen in pre-homogenized societies.
~ 15 minutes ~
02:55 vex heres to the shit that's forver lost in the logs
02:55 adlai why forever lost?
02:56 vex theres a billion permutations in there
02:56 adlai someday the misquotations might get immortalized in some apostle's epistles.
02:56 vex well that's a good toast too. to what adlai said!
03:03 vex mp's pets haven't mentioned a wake yet huh?
03:05 adlai wake is a dirty word for a case of drowning.
03:06 * adlai can't recall whether logs contain his own experience with waters; tl;dr - was short skinny little shit during highschool, got typecast as cox
03:06 adlai fortunately, I'd learned to swim before getting thrown in.
03:06 adlai and never thrown in to serious waters, only tame little puddles.
03:07 vex I was thrown in since dot
03:07 * adlai drowned at ~5yo, then took swimming lessons
03:07 vex how fast 50m?
03:08 adlai drowned = remembers paddling around with floaties, taking floaties off, jumping off plastic island surrounded by >2m water, regaining consciousness outside of pool
03:08 adlai never raced!
03:08 vex it's nice huh? i've done it too, I was older
03:09 vex mp is in heaven for all the people wondering
03:09 adlai at least, not outside of gym classes where there was no timer, only "last one there's a rotten egg"
03:10 adlai swimming is amazing, though; I think the supermajority of my muscle cramps were all from the first five minutes in cold water during the years when gym classes included pool days.
03:11 adlai coach was champ, too: "oh, you got a cramp? ok, paddle around in the shallow end until your cramp is gone, then join the rest of the class over there"
03:12 adlai vex: where would you host a wake, anyway? allegedly, mp's disciples span five different equivalence classes of extradition treaties.
03:13 vex your house?
03:13 adlai there is much to be said for the jewish approach, i.e., "oh, you didn't hear of the death within 24h? ok, perform observances according to your own beliefs"
03:13 vex it's been nearly two moons
03:14 adlai fwiw, the official jewish approach is funeral ~within~ 24h, wake lasting max six days, revisit grave one month after burial, and observances at yearly anniversaries hence.
03:15 adlai although it gets bent outta shape because people bitch about holidays, saturdays, etc.
03:15 adlai in the brave new world, it's not too difficult to keep a corpse chilled ~indefinitely
03:15 adlai tradition originates from the days when it actually became practical to ask whether it smelled like sainthood after a week.
03:17 vex i don't think mp was extra jewish. cunt was pagan as fuck
03:19 * adlai recalls one of the infinite derisions being "gypsy jew"
03:19 adlai fwiw, it is not difficult for hybrid vigor to produce "gypsy jew" etc
03:19 vex idk, dude seemed ignorant of derision
03:20 adlai now, I have no idea whether actual Roma caravans would recognise "gypsy jew" as subset of "Roma" ; however, jewish genetics is definitely slutty, as opposed to posh.
03:21 adlai posh genetics = "both parents must be tribemembers ; slut punishable by disownment"
03:21 adlai several tribes operate this way, whereas judaism notably operates according to "only relevant chromosome is mitochondrion"
03:22 vex afik he had distain for the x & the y
03:24 adlai I don't think that a healthy understanding of modern biology -- specifically, genetics -- is reconcileable with worship of humanity, in any of its tribal forms.
03:24 vex a true wildling
03:25 adlai possibly this is one reason that tribalism frequently coincides with dogmatic rejection of modern theories of genetics.
03:28 * adlai finds most popularizations of biology quite barf-worthy, whether written millenia, centuries, or decades ago
03:29 vex ancient egyptians have been reporteted even here at the end of the earth
03:29 adlai maybe I'm simply bad at understanding that kind of prose, yet I've never quite appreciated the fine hair splits that biologists quibble over.
03:30 adlai at least, not the ones who waffle about grand theories. molecular biology has never suffered from the grand theoretic wafflings.
03:30 vex your ycombinator has little affect
03:30 adlai uwot?
03:30 vex you hear me cunt
03:30 adlai wtf does 'ycombinator' have to do with this
03:31 vex your mom
03:31 vex she doesn't have much say in the matter
03:31 * adlai can't even tell whether vex is referring to chromosome, shartup accelerator, high-order-function, or simply verbalising
03:31 vex chromosomal affect, but yes, take it as you will
03:31 adlai you are referring to X-chromosome as "ycombinator" ?
03:32 vex also just verbalosing. monke
03:33 * adlai always understood slight converse to be dominant ; i.e., Y-chromosome functions as shattered X-chromosome, modulates whatever happened to have survived the meiosis fandango
03:33 vex yeah no
03:33 adlai however, given the whole interactome, both descriptions are probably correct, separately for each individual promoter
03:34 adlai speaking of biology, I need to go and negotiate fines with the campus libraries
03:35 adlai regrettably, both plurals are correct
03:35 vex lol
03:36 * adlai does not know where exactly along the "zero to $price in four seconds" continuum fall the loss fines, although intends to keep at least one book
03:36 adlai it is a paperback. should not be too painful to keep!
03:36 vex must read. send satoshis
03:37 adlai don't buy oceancoin, vex.
03:37 vex oceancoin? never fucking herd of it
03:37 adlai variant of "don't drink ocean water", "don't take wooden nickles", etc
03:37 * adlai wanders off
03:37 vex oh ok, I was thinking "don't tempt me, ill take it"

13:02 cgra a possibly interesting consequence is that it adds an extra issue to consider: the already-deployed obey_sendbuffersize nodes when mapping out the trb swamp of protocol ram usage
~ 15 minutes ~
13:18 cgra fwiw, judging by the amount of OOM holes in trb, and absence of other issues similar to the 'wedge', seems to me the wedge was just someone pulling blocks in maximum force, for whatever reason, unaware of the lethal side effects. all these added up, obey_sendbuffersize may have been better off not rating such peers for misbehavior

(1 -- naturally-occurring, but somehow went for 5+y w/out happening even once? 2 -- methodically knocked down erry node on published roster daily until patched iirc)
16:18 asciilifeform cgra: iirc that particular bug was described in a prb communique. so, possible that the 'wedger' simply did not know of others.
16:20 asciilifeform cgra: the other possibly relevant detail is that it wasn't a quick-oom , but a wedge where node very slowly shits itself while unresponsive to commands, and at very little expense from trigger end.
16:21 asciilifeform i.e. would stay down for day+, even if hanging off an autorestart script.
16:23 cgra asciilifeform: those both points would then make sense to me, especially the former
16:26 cgra if nothing else, a handy way to push prb upgrading :)
