07:07 awt https://github.com/Libera-Chat/sable << "Server nodes communicate using a Gossip-like protocol, removing the need for a spanning-tree routing and making netsplits, as they occur in legacy servers, a thing of the past. While a server may still become isolated from the network due to networking faults, the loss of a single c
07:07 awt onnection will not disrupt the network."
~ 2 hours 45 minutes ~
09:53 asciilifeform awt: pretty lulzy read, e.g. 'a globally-unique event ID' (how? if nominally p2p)
09:54 asciilifeform cherche le femme^H^H^H^H^Hcentralizedhitler
09:55 * asciilifeform unsurprised to discover subj is in 'rust' lol
09:55 asciilifeform 'Despite the arbitrarily-connected Gossip network, duplicate or out-of-order processing of events will not occur' << ditto
09:56 asciilifeform ... but if somebody actually read the src, and in fact found a working perpetuum mobile in there, plox to post.
10:06 asciilifeform per their docs, loox like there's in fact no attempt to p2pize handle uniqueness -- instead same old centralized fleanode-style mechanics.
10:07 asciilifeform (not clear wai bothered with the various 'gossip' window dressing, then)
~ 1 hours 31 minutes ~
11:38 awt incidentally asciilifeform I have python3 built on a dulap.
~ 20 minutes ~
11:59 asciilifeform awt: from stock portage ?
11:59 awt asciilifeform: don't recall how it got on there.
12:00 awt Possibly was a dep of something else I installed.
~ 35 minutes ~
12:35 awt Did some firearems training on a glock 19 this weekend.
12:40 awt Instructor had many stories about how he + friends ended up needing guns. Duh. You live in Stockton and sell retail.
12:46 awt Also entertaining story about finding guns small enough for a midget and his daughter.
12:48 awt Mentioned having to kill someone in the line of duty. Cop mindset very interesting.
12:49 awt "centrist" - blissfully unaware of who decides what's extreme, overton window, etc.

~ 29 minutes ~
13:18 asciilifeform awt: even coupla sessions with good instructor is, asciilifeform found, actually good 'bang for the buck' (when yer a noob)
13:18 awt was a *10 hour* session lol
13:18 awt he brought like 20 different guns
13:19 * asciilifeform took a similar class 2y ago
13:20 awt "before I tell you how to hold a gun, here's my life story"
13:20 asciilifeform was nifty, d00d had a farm with a large circular pit in a field
13:21 awt ah yes, this was in a vineyard
13:22 * asciilifeform was joining a private club, which req'd a 'can hit broad side of barn' cert from instructor
13:24 asciilifeform prolly best thing for staying in practice is to live in 'middle of nowhere' like phf, and do it in the forest erry weekend. but not erryone lives in forest

13:24 asciilifeform and 'leadcoin' aint cheap these days
~ 33 minutes ~
13:58 asciilifeform http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-05-22#1026262 << political pov of typical policeman is 'whatever not risks pension cheque' afaik

14:00 asciilifeform 'Befehl ist Befehl'(tm)
~ 41 minutes ~
14:41 * signpost spent some time farting around in C for online-codes next step, with _mm256_xor_si256 for bulk xor over the mmap'd files
14:42 signpost oughta produce a motherfucker of a speedup, will figure out exactly how much soon.
14:42 * signpost did not see much wisdom in pressing on either with python or sbcl, rather than getting this piece done with bulk low-level operations, and letting those call over via ffi
14:43 signpost on the sbcl side, had the bulk bit operations (like bit-xor) over bit-vectors, but I didn't see how to get a bit-vector backed by mmap'd file.
14:44 signpost anyway, fully in hail satan, write C mode for that item.
~ 2 hours 14 minutes ~
16:58 asciilifeform signpost: asciilifeform had some lulzy experiences with simd instrs but imho is worth to experiment/compare
17:00 asciilifeform signpost: see whether you can determine whether the xor is even bottleneck at all
↖
17:01 * asciilifeform in the linked example, sampled stochastically and found where the thing 'sat' most
17:01 asciilifeform doing this not reqs any special softs, can use ordinary gdb with a little scripting
~ 34 minutes ~
17:35 phf http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-05-22#1026271 << unsupervised range is 2 minutes driving

20:31 asciilifeform phf: nifty
20:31 * asciilifeform pictured phf simply using target on printer paper nailed to tree
~ 41 minutes ~
21:12 phf well, that's about it, with only difference, that i actually have a wood frame stand, dyi out of 2x4s, that i sometimes drive out and sometimes leave there
21:22 phf one thing i discovered, and i think there might be better methods, but when i attach a scope to a rifle, it helps to have large area of cardboard, that you can just shoot at, and you want it to be big so that the round lands ~somewhere~ on the target
21:30 phf 􏿽and i buy protective cover cardboard rolls from lowes, so you can just roll out a chunk, staplegun it to the frame, draw a large black dot that's 1-moa for whatever distance, and then i just shoot until i started getting rounds within 1-moa, and then i switch targets to a store bou
21:30 phf 􏿽ght one where i can work on keeping the 1-moa
21:32 phf there's probably better and cheaper methods to getting into the ballpark, then having a very large target that you can't miss, but this method works. you can't do it with juts "printed paper on a tree". maybe if you're practicing with an iron sight kalash, while in the woods of ukrain or something
~ 52 minutes ~
22:24 phf foo
22:25 phf man, both loggers still don't support newlines in messages!
~ 53 minutes ~
23:19 awt adding in some basic validation that was sorely lacking in blatta: https://imgur.com/a/GoSUWa3
23:19 awt also checks that the address is valid
23:20 awt interesting fact re: atahualpa - learned chess before he was hastily garotted.
23:23 awt signpost: will use/make C bindings
23:24 awt er, python bindings
23:26 signpost yeah, I'm gonna make the thing into a liboc, oughta lift into python or lisp just fine.
23:29 signpost http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-05-22#1026282 << will test whether. my thought was that an item might be broadcasted for a while while "seeding", and that item's probably sitting in the fs cache in ram after the first full pass-through, so these ops would be faster, but that's just what my butt says.
23:29 bitbot Logged on 2023-05-22 17:00:15 asciilifeform[4]: signpost: see whether you can determine whether the xor is even bottleneck at all
23:29 signpost it's a very simple change to just iterate through and ^
