00:38 awt Discovered an edge case blatta doesn't handle due to only issuing GetData once per orphan.
00:39 awt Particularly effects poorly connected l2 stations.
00:48 awt I think this explains the "stuttering" syncs often seen with newly connected stations.

10:24 asciilifeform waterfall never runs outta water, noose at 11
10:35 awt asciilifeform: price has significantly increased (even vs. inflation) since you published the waterfall theory.
10:37 awt And can't point to 2017 high, gotta take into account moving averages.

11:39 lobbes https://archive.is/dt6PF#selection-1895.1-1895.49 << anyone else here think that these "ex-military UFO whistleblower" reports are, themselves, just a disinformation campaign?
11:39 lobbes I.e. business-as-usual military R&D activity, with obfuscation powered by leveraging a population (including said ex-military whistleblowers) inculcated by hollywood to have latent "little green men" beliefs

12:50 dulapbot (asciilifeform) 2022-06-16 asciilifeform: 'we maybe found martians' seems to get run whenever 'need noose distraction, and the arrange-postals dept. is slow'
12:53 asciilifeform http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-06-06#1026741 << this is a phakt: orig. waterfall did not suffice to keep lid on exchrate. hence waterfall 2.0, with paperization.

12:53 bitbot Logged on 2023-02-17 13:40:24 asciilifeform[jonsykkel|awt|deedbot]: signpost: 'they'll ban goxes! finally!' imho is an unattainable dream. goxes are the key instrument of paperization and exchrate control.
12:53 dulapbot (asciilifeform) 2022-01-19 asciilifeform: the reason why various 2010s 'they'll ban goxes!' prognoses (incl. asciilifeform's) came to nuffin, is that turns out goxes are a very effective instrument of exchrate control, and

13:13 bitbot Logged on 2023-06-05 18:16:09 phf[jonsykkel|awt]: also you can use netchain for responding to individual hearsay messages from fake peers presented by the proxy station, but you can't initiate a conversation that way. the first message will have nothing to hang off

13:47 lobbes asciilifeform: aha ty for log links re: ufology subject. fwiw I've added 'three-body problem' to my long 'intend to read' list
13:47 lobbes http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-06-06#1026745 << my personal meatwot has a few dedicated "I want to believe (TM)" types, so I end up coming across such articles / interviews frequently.

13:50 * lobbes does find such psyops fascinating; starting to understand how the lack of teaching proper rhetoric in US schools lubricates this process
13:50 dulapbot (asciilifeform) 2021-01-18 asciilifeform: this is where 50+y of crippling ameri-education pays off for'em. the victims are unable to reject elementarily unphysical poppycock, follow simple syllogisms, etc

14:24 signpost I assume this involves some drone-based spoofing platform they have, trying to create the cover story that it's aliens whenever we're flying it in enemy territory.
14:25 signpost I have no doubt there's alien life out there, and also have no doubt that human narcissism would vastly overestimate how interesting we are.
14:26 signpost why the fuck would something be capable of step-function velocity changes, yet crash due to what, bad weather?
14:27 signpost most entertaining interpretation I can concoct is that antigrav was cracked decades ago, and the breakaway civilization is going to cull the planet of eaters soon.
14:29 signpost or hell, suppose the things are alien, but they're mindless drones just taking a refueling sip of our ocean. that was my favorite thing about Rendezvous with Rama, that the alien object was completely indifferent to us.

16:22 asciilifeform crash from bad weather, but somehow only in usa and only in desert near usaf bases etc lol
16:23 asciilifeform ( at one time 'ufo' used to regularly 'carsh' in su, but then they switched spy sats from film canisters, that had to be dropped, to digital, and 'ufo stopped' )

21:42 asciilifeform phf: unless i misunderstand, this (i.e. asking a bot to send a privmsg on some other net, but 'pestronically') aint sumthing that pest protocol per se is a tight fit for -- you'd need to layer some command lang on top of direct msgs to $bot
21:46 asciilifeform ... bot would then know where (i.e. to you) to send replies from that net, similarly as direct msg (presumably containing handle of that party on the heathen net)
