08:59 mircea_popescu in other news, this priviledge issue is starting to get on my nerves. so some schmucks decided to "fix" random bit of english sometime in the 80s. because nothing soothes the pencildick socialist soul more than changing things for others.
08:59 asciilifeform waiwat bit
08:59 mircea_popescu meanwhile all the "online dictionaries", shitholes as they are, fail to list the historically correct spelling, and so a generation of random idiots go around pretending it's misspelled now.

09:08 PeterL perhaps "privilege" is more closely related to "legitamate" than ledge, so no d before the g?
09:08 mircea_popescu legitimate ?
09:08 mircea_popescu at issue is the ending in ge.
09:08 asciilifeform throw the buggerz off a lege.
09:08 PeterL private-legitimacy -> privilege, or something
09:09 PeterL IANAL (I am not a linguist)
09:11 mircea_popescu they all take the d because of peculiarities of historical english pronounciation. without the d it becomes /ʒ/ as in juge, /ʒuʒ/
09:12 mircea_popescu (currently you say it /d͡ʒud͡ʒ/)
09:12 PeterL I would say the sound in edge and ledge is a bit harder than privilege, not quite the same thing
09:13 PeterL another idea, could be related to liege? But now I am just pulling stuff out of my ass
09:14 mircea_popescu this is the very point : priviledge is terminated in /d͡ʒ/ like knowledge or ledge ; not in /ʒ/ like liege.
09:14 mircea_popescu and if you're not saying it like that, you fix the way you say it.
09:15 mircea_popescu in any fucking case i'm not changing the way i write it, breaking historical compatibility in the process, to accommodate you feel like saying it this tuesday.
09:15 PeterL but it is a different vowel sound too
09:15 mircea_popescu it's a who ?
09:16 PeterL privilege is more of a soft i sound, ledge has the soft e
09:16 PeterL might just be my accent though
09:16 mircea_popescu now that you're discussing phonetics without any basics, such as the ipa, is one thing. but you're discussing it without any consideration for thought!
09:16 mircea_popescu which fucking one of the FOUR e-i candidates in prIvIlEdgE are you discussing ?
09:17 PeterL you have links to historical documents spelling it "priviledge"?
09:17 PeterL I was talking about just before the g

09:20 mircea_popescu etc etc.
09:21 PeterL really, I am just giving you a hard time. I accept the word either way.
09:21 mircea_popescu there's a reason i said sometime in 80s above. that'd be the reason.
09:22 mircea_popescu i have no idea who even decided this, it just looks like someone in teacher's school just flipped a bit, started sending out teachers with corrupted spelling of prilivedge, and since nobody reads anything anyway it just perpetuated,

09:22 mircea_popescu like a new gene in a population of fucking silkworms.
09:22 mircea_popescu culture ? what culture. this place has NO culture.
09:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: hey it'd be the, what, 27th time this happened?
09:22 mircea_popescu if tomorrow everyone starts yielling about how vaginas have balls, that's gonna be it, first population with ballsacs for both genders.
09:22 PeterL isn't change a part of culture?
09:23 asciilifeform english, like leper, has been losing limbs for its entire life.
09:23 mircea_popescu change is not this blind and unaware beastly thing.
09:23 PeterL this seems like a harmless change
09:23 mircea_popescu change is change, like when i tell my mother listen, i used to like you but now i don't like you anymore ; not like when i wake up one day and don't even know i had one, like some sort of cat or somesuch.
09:24 mircea_popescu PeterL at issue is not "harm", as per a personal and arbitrary definition. at issue is the process. change happens in actual cultures as an aware, commented process. not like this.
09:24 mircea_popescu it happens like this in worms and mice.
09:24 PeterL yes, this is a memetic mutation. these things happen
09:24 mircea_popescu to idiots.
09:25 mircea_popescu come to think of it, i know of no better definition of intelligence, than the absence of this process.
09:26 asciilifeform eh hey, would mircea_popescu have preferred if some organized equivalent of webster had imposed this crapola , as the original did, by doctoring dictionaries ?
09:26 mircea_popescu "a place for everything and everything in its place" exists for minds, too. it's called "know what the fuck are you doing and why you're doing it". the alternative is cosby's brain damage.
09:26 mircea_popescu "i dunno..."
09:26 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, because then i would still not have introduced - like i resisted changes by "romanian academy" to romanian ; but at least i'd have a ready something to point out as the breach.
09:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it is easier to shoot a man than 10,001 worms. which is WHY they send 10,001 worms.
09:27 mircea_popescu like http://trilema.com/2011/stimata-academie/ or such
09:27 asciilifeform go, shoot, they just break in 2.
09:27 asciilifeform for worms - you need vermicide.
09:36 mircea_popescu she cow pig had kittens ; and lived gladly ever after.
09:40 mircea_popescu (for the innocent - as apparently #trilema is the only reference for that expression as far as google knows, and truly it knows jack shit : there's this slave language spoken in china where english words are used in the manner of idiomatics. it is incomprehensible in english ; the example given translates to "the" (because demonstrative pronoun is still she) "sow" (ie, female adult - cow ; as a particle it modifies pig into s
09:40 mircea_popescu ow) "had pigglets" (ie, kittens, cubs).)
09:43 mircea_popescu and as to the proper meaning of the word revolution (which is - spinning in place!) : about three centuries ago, back when industrialisation was well advanced much like computing today and the united colonies centered around fucking philadelphia were the republic of their time, the empire of china was very much the producer of all good things and disinterested in trade because why.
09:44 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: pinoys speak similar language
09:44 mircea_popescu im sure.
09:45 mircea_popescu anyway. should be obvious that there's plenty more room for the anglopinoy to fall, before they reach their level.
09:48 mircea_popescu but in conclusion : "i spell it priviledge as a mark of my priviledge."

10:04 mircea_popescu incidentally - anyone want or rather need boxes with very large ram ? i'm thinking of expanding to another rack with this provider.
10:06 shinohai mircea_popescu is suitable for trb ?
10:17 mircea_popescu well massive overkill. trb wants what, 4g ? i was thinking more in terms of tb.
10:18 shinohai O.o mkay
10:20 mircea_popescu actually since you brought it up it reminded me of vague discussion, so let's make it explicit. mod6 asciilifeform i dunno how practical it is yet, but eventually trb block mechanics will have to be expanded to memory datastore, so that it holds the current blk000n it's working on in ram and dumps it to disk only when full. MUCH easier to cache a disk with no writes on it.
↖ ↖ ↖
10:21 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what means 'blk000n it's working on' ?
10:21 asciilifeform as distinct from mempool ?
10:21 mircea_popescu yes, mempool is just txn. the way blockchain is currently stored, it comes in these 2gb .dat files
10:21 mircea_popescu or on some shit implementation even smaller (i recall a lulz at this in log)
10:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: those are just blocks shat to disk consecutively
10:22 mircea_popescu yes. but it writes to the file by parts.
10:23 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-11#1539457 << the lulz.
10:23 a111 Logged on 2016-09-11 01:11 mircea_popescu: holy shit apparently this guy's cca 2014 windoze prb stores blockchain in 128mb files, 100+ of them by that point ?
10:24 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.h?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#0904 << nein
10:25 asciilifeform it jizzes out blockwise.
10:25 asciilifeform fwiw.
10:25 mircea_popescu shinohai so it'd be practical for something like that, you know, all blockchain in memory. no disk seeks, faster. if you run something like blockchain.info (though i doubt they hold it all in ram)
10:26 mircea_popescu asciilifeform this is my point. should jizz out filewise. ie, once it has a 2gb worth of file all built up, spit it out nice and contiguous.
10:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this optimization makes 0 practical difference, random access block reads remains the bottleneck on mechanical disks.
10:27 asciilifeform (not even a seriously irritating bottleneck on a ~decent~ mech disk)
10:27 mircea_popescu my profiling says the writes block the reads!
10:28 asciilifeform of trb?
10:28 mircea_popescu yeah.
10:28 asciilifeform care to publish ?
10:28 mircea_popescu ugh.
10:28 asciilifeform hey i posted my profiturds
10:28 mircea_popescu ima see if i can clean this up. why, does yours not ?
10:28 asciilifeform by the MB
10:29 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: when i walk into a kitchen and find a rotting corpse, i do not begin by cleaning the stove
10:29 mircea_popescu that's certainly a valid point.
10:29 asciilifeform the unparallelized-yet-wholly-parallelizable block verification is the biggest embarrassment in trb
10:29 asciilifeform followed by the mempool thing
10:30 mircea_popescu yeah. this'd be rather low priority.
10:31 mircea_popescu actually the more i think about this ... fully in-ram blockchain shat to disk at configurable rate is the elegant way out of here.
10:32 mircea_popescu have a say hm.

10:33 asciilifeform doing disk caching by hand doesn't win you much.
10:33 burnsd03 thanks :)
10:33 burnsd03 hm?
10:33 mircea_popescu something like this : have a ring structure (made of 1mb cells) holding all the blocks. have a separate tree structure ordering them ; and a separate counter structure. whenever you import a new block, put it in that ring cell which has lowest use count
10:33 mircea_popescu so at first empty ; then least used.
10:34 mircea_popescu so operator can set 200 gb for blockchain, it gets made into 200k cells, they store 200k blocks and hallelujah.

20:47 asciilifeform mats, ben_vulpes : betcha it wouldn't be hard to make a grinder that cranks these out , from old house keys
20:47 asciilifeform make a box full, take out an entire street, ideal vandal
20:48 mats lol
20:49 mats or give them away with instructions printed on a card
20:50 asciilifeform btw a spotwelder version of this would be ~infinitely reusable.
20:50 asciilifeform probably belongs in mircea_popescu's theoretical 'no one could have foreseen' toolkit article.
20:50 ben_vulpes as in weld the keys into the door?
20:51 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: as in fuse pins to the cylinder
20:51 asciilifeform capacitative.
20:51 mats i feel like people would notice someone carrying a torch around
20:51 asciilifeform mats: wouldn't need to look like 'torch'
20:51 asciilifeform just a pocket-sized thing.
20:51 ben_vulpes disposable camera!
20:51 ben_vulpes has caps already
20:52 ben_vulpes *zap*
20:52 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: did i ever tell the tale of when i attempted to weld with such a camera
20:52 asciilifeform pretty sure that i did
20:52 shinohai I wince at the mention of disposable camera caps
20:52 ben_vulpes not afair
20:52 asciilifeform at any rate i'm not certain what is the point of this, victim can still escape from window
20:52 ben_vulpes fucking cheap asymmetric warfare is the point
20:52 mats i would imagine the purpose is to gain time against a home invader

20:53 mats (or make it)
20:53 asciilifeform mats: how the hell does it help against invader ? key hole is ~outside~
20:53 ben_vulpes ah
20:54 shinohai ahahahaha asciilifeform
20:54 mats its convuluted, i know
20:54 mats maybe home invader has a key
20:54 asciilifeform mats: if invader has a key, he shoots you in your bed
20:54 mats its not really useful, just fun
20:55 asciilifeform fun to trap self in own house, ahaha
20:55 mats other people
20:55 asciilifeform ~other~ people - yes.
20:59 ben_vulpes there's an eerie parallel here between your microsoft 'security' links and your proposed uses for this key, mats
20:59 mats low blow

21:08 * asciilifeform in hammock, reading treatise on ww2 u.s. army dress, thinks of mats
21:10 asciilifeform the modern dress is a snore. and pixellated, as if in '90s shooter. looks nearly comical in the flesh.
21:10 mats i like the new pattern
21:10 shinohai Really? I liked the old class A's better
21:11 ben_vulpes usg still has enough turkeybuxx for the dress duds?
21:11 mats http://www.armyuniformchanges.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/OCP.jpg
21:12 mats old grey pattern is only good for blending in with gravel
21:12 ben_vulpes or will the economic draft entail bringing ones own scraps and sock-folding lessons
21:12 shinohai Oh as far ACU's def better than BDU's
~ 23 minutes ~
21:35 mats plenty of folks had to buy their own shit for e.g. invasion of iraq
21:35 mats sucks to be a marine

22:50 shinohai !~seen thestringpuller
22:50 jhvh1 shinohai: thestringpuller was last seen in #trilema 1 day, 13 hours, and 20 seconds ago: <thestringpuller> "The main cost in the initial synchronization is disk I/O when seeking for transactions in the blockchain. Default cache size (dbcache) is 100MB, and it is too low. I always set it manually depending on the amount of RAM in the system (5GB for dbcache on a 8GB system)." << re: discussions of using SSDs on initial sync.
22:57 trinque echoing asciilifeform, I recommend anyone that has an interest in the future of republican computing purchases this asap http://www.semiconductorstore.com/cart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=48524

22:58 trinque it's the end of the world after all, and who knows how long actual tools will be possible to purchase.
22:59 * shinohai imagines a tmsr networking party after the apocalypse, hope doom can somehow run on this.
23:03 trinque mircea_popescu was quite right to point out that linus shat out the initial linux himself, and in not so much time
23:09 mod6 http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-23#1547729 << the imagination staggers.
23:09 a111 Logged on 2016-09-23 16:10 asciilifeform: ( the manufacturer's soft was certificably worthless, it was a java shitware , believe it )
23:23 trinque trolling places like craigslist and ebay for vintage opterons, probably also not a bad idea

23:26 mircea_popescu epic.
23:27 shinohai CoinDesk has went full Eth-huffer this year.
23:27 mircea_popescu 'Church of Vitalik' In many ways, the event was evidence that, despite the rhetoric about divisions in the community, ethereum remains oddly united in the face of obstacles. This sentiment was perhaps most visible in references to ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin, with many developers (even insiders) jokingly calling the community the "church of Vitalik".
23:28 mircea_popescu ^ best lulz in the pile. step A : call mp's thing "a sect" ; step B. observe with dismay that mp owns it ; step C decide "cults are cool now", try and claim your rapemeat agglomeration is one.
23:29 mircea_popescu strategic inferiority is one thing ; but to fuck yourself raw with your own arms that someone had broken off and used to wipe his arse...
23:30 mircea_popescu "But every religion has its dissenters, and the conference began with a not insignificant network issue whereby all of the nodes running ethereum’s most popular client (go ethereum) suddenly crashed upon executing a smart contract." << arguably 2nd best lulz in the pile.
23:31 mircea_popescu i have been entertained.
23:38 mircea_popescu http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160924/#65 << wise choice then ? :D
