here's a proposed list |
| 01:36 |
mircea_popescu |
a kk |
| 01:36 |
ben_vulpes |
- download and validate blocks |
| 01:36 |
ben_vulpes |
translate block height to block hash |
| 01:36 |
ben_vulpes |
- translate block height to block hash |
| 01:36 |
ben_vulpes |
- return the height of the current best-known chain |
| 01:36 |
ben_vulpes |
- return a block corresponding to a given hash |
| 01:37 |
ben_vulpes |
- relay transactions to the network |
| 01:37 |
ben_vulpes |
(fin) |
| 01:37 |
asciilifeform |
seems like it all sits inside 'validate blocks', no ? |
| 01:37 |
asciilifeform |
so the postulates aren't orthogonal. |
| 01:38 |
ben_vulpes |
true enough |
| 01:38 |
ben_vulpes |
but there are subspaces, if you'll allow the floppiness of wording. |
| 01:38 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform the reason, incidentally, i didn';t read it myself is i dun trust my rudimentary c understanding. |
| 01:38 |
asciilifeform |
ben_vulpes: this is just the kind of manual which ought to live in a 'lions book' commentary on source. |
| 01:38 |
mircea_popescu |
best have ppl that spoeak the language tlel you what the paper says. |
| 01:38 |
ben_vulpes |
f'r instance, the thing should cough up on the command line, a block if given a hash |
| 01:40 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: it's actually heavily idiomatic cpp. with extensive use of 'high level construct' libs like 'boost' ('iterate', various data structure diddles, etc.) |
| 01:40 |
mircea_popescu |
aham |

| 01:43 |
mircea_popescu |
fluffypony ;/ so many lulz, so little head |
| 01:44 |
ben_vulpes |
mircea_popescu: if i know that the most recent block was of height N, I can ask bitcoind-node for the hash of the block at height N |
| 01:44 |
ben_vulpes |
(or N-1, or N-M) |
| 01:44 |
mircea_popescu |
this is an ambigous request. |
| 01:44 |
ben_vulpes |
because of multiple chains? |
| 01:44 |
mircea_popescu |
"on whjich chain" |
| 01:44 |
mircea_popescu |
yes |
| 01:44 |
ben_vulpes |
hm. |
| 01:44 |
ben_vulpes |
ofc. central concern, this. |
| 01:44 |
mircea_popescu |
the notion of N must be subordinate ot the blocks only identifier, its hash |
| 01:45 |
mircea_popescu |
(another bit of braindamage th epower rangers forced upon the world, other than "historical transaction validity" as a thing, is "block as aheight" |
| 01:45 |
ben_vulpes |
i see it. |
| 01:45 |
ben_vulpes |
"there is only one chain" as well. |
| 01:45 |
mircea_popescu |
this is nonsense of the first order, an utter antipattern, and iof they weren't stupid as frogs i'd suspect its deliberate |
| 01:45 |

think of it as "chain of pointers" and now tell me who the fuck doesn't flunk the idiot that actually keeps an enumeration array for the chain |
| 01:47 |
mircea_popescu |
best way to crash undebuggably ever. |
| 01:48 |
ben_vulpes |
then this implies a requirement that a bitcoind-node know about and be able to return data about the various chains of which it knows. |
| 01:49 |
mircea_popescu |
depends what are you trying to do / |
| 01:50 |

ben_vulpes no asciilifeform put it in proper terms. it's a tree. |
| 01:53 |
mircea_popescu |
you can, if you wish, implement a function that returns "equibranches" on a tree. |
| 01:53 |
mircea_popescu |
but this is a secondary consideration. |
| 01:55 |
ben_vulpes |

from the protocol pov, it's arbitrary. |
| 02:39 |
ben_vulpes |
in practice though |
| 02:39 |
ben_vulpes |
do ops frantically get on the horn to get their block into the long chain? |

in practice either whichever they hear first or whichever has better likely outcomes |

the daemon maintains the connection to the network |
| 05:39 |

relays blocks / transactions, stores the blockchain, etc. |

"If Bitcoiners could ever get decent adoption and max out that 7 transactions per second the fees wouldn't even have to be that bad. Just make every transaction cost 0.006 BTC and that's just $1.50. That would be the equivalent of the current block reward. But the problem is they've all decided that microtransactions while having an expensive Bitcoin is the killer feature." |

mircea_popescu |
decimation yep, that's pretty much what that was |
| 15:41 |
decimation |
"Concretely, this has meant giving massive publicity and a momentous political significance to the 17 people killed in the Charlie Hebdo and related attacks. This contrasts sharply with the treatment given to any number of other recent tragedies: the 1,400 girls raped by largely Pakistani gangs in Rotherham, England, the tens of thousands of victims of Islamist terrorism in Syria, and the over 4,000 people killed in the Donbass |

well because the intellect is rarely functioning and universaly expensive to fire up, whereas the emoprocessor is always on. |
| 15:51 |
mircea_popescu |
so of course any headcount-based system will try to talk to the latter. |

this is why you don't want "universal suffrage" : it makes politics a matter of emo manipulation, like marketing. |

"system 1" thinking vice "system 2" thinking |
| 15:55 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway, the solution is quite simple : do not give everyone voice. have a voicing procedure in place. |
| 15:55 |
mircea_popescu |
and the solution will prevail because the problems universal suffrage straddles its practitioners with are not only unresolvable, but actually heavier than the sum benefits. |
| 15:55 |
mircea_popescu |
and as such... it fails on its own. |

His mastery of the skill comes not from his ability to "cut around the lines" but in that he can from start to finish carve on some of the most difficult woods in the world to work with. Wood that 80% of your so called "master carvers" as they claim on youtube and the woodworking forums would not touch in a hundred years because it takes some serious talent to carve them. |

I love cars like that. Shit you can drive in Siberia with 0 maintenance (like an asshole car owner), but the machine still chugs. |

well i basically live in siberia with health care so i guess that makes saddam perfect |

My buddy kept trying to convince me to get an E30 325 by BMW circa 1989 |
| 20:48 |
thestringpuller |
which I admit is tempting, but in the same sense as candy is tempting ~_~ |
| 20:51 |
pete_dushenski |
the e30 was built in an era when only entry-level cars failed completely after a few year |
| 20:52 |
pete_dushenski |
back then, the higher-end motors were expected to keep truckin' for decades |
| 20:52 |
pete_dushenski |
as they evidently have |
| 20:52 |
pete_dushenski |
of course, in the mid to late 90's, automakers figured out that all cars, regardless of upfront cost, should self-immolate after 10 years |
| 20:53 |
pete_dushenski |
if not sooner |
| 20:53 |
thestringpuller |
Ya. What's up with that?!? |
| 20:53 |
pete_dushenski |
ideally, from their perspective, cars would crap out as soon as the warranty expired |
| 20:53 |
pete_dushenski |
and have so many electrical gremlins that they'd be impossible to repair thereafter |
| 20:53 |
thestringpuller |
it's like Jobs' ideas behind the iPod |
| 20:53 |
thestringpuller |
warranty expires the day the battery dies |
| 20:53 |
pete_dushenski |
carmakers have been getting better and better at this |
| 20:53 |
pete_dushenski |
i think they're almost there |
| 20:54 |
thestringpuller |
some cars seem to be holding their own against the trend. |
| 20:54 |
pete_dushenski |
toyota, perhaps |
| 20:55 |
thestringpuller |
ya, mah girl has a Camry from 94-95 or something almost 200k miles on it and it runs fine. Road trip worthy and all. |
| 20:55 |
pete_dushenski |
but the increased homogeny between brands, a function of their sharing tier 1 and 2 suppliers, is hampering even the best of intentions |
| 20:55 |
pete_dushenski |
thestringpuller: but that's a 20-year-old car now |
| 20:56 |
thestringpuller |
pete_dushenski: yea but was crafted in mind 90's when the trend started |
| 20:56 |
pete_dushenski |
this is also why recalls are spanning unprecented numbers of cars, and stretching across brands at the same time |
| 20:56 |

They are hedging on parts outlasting the warranty tho. |

pete_dushenski |
tesla is an interesting case study in incentives |
| 20:58 |

a reading of 'Consumer Reports' from some years ago suggests that cars are lasting longer... |

I've actually done very little development for this dirtro. Most of my time has been spent finding perfect little individual peices and assembling them. Out of the box it has: |
| |
↖ |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- documentation (current borked b/c of gentoo's USE flag problems - cyclic dependencies) |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- Conkeror browser hooked up to parenscript. |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- the best GUI library available on current architectures (CLIM - Commmon Lisp Interface Manager). |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- millions LoC less than the browser, at least 10x more expressive. |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- based on funtoo, sources for all programs are included by default. |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- symbolic algebra via Maxima |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- 3D plotting facilities (animation, zooming etc.) No gnuplot or browser hackery. |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- state saving and restoration (currently broken) |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- lesson system |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- habit system |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- dashboard that reports e.g., LoC for the entire system. |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
- js->ps transpiler (needs work) |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
The browser, window manager, gui library and emacs are all connected to the same common lisp process and are explorable at runtime. Conkeror is based on Emacs and shares some of the same conceptual foundation, thus, the whole experience feels very lispy. The lessons system is 'dialed-in'. For example, you can specify that the user is to scroll to 80% of a particular URL, at which point you want the windows arranged |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
1/2 emacs 1/2 clim gui and XYZ files open with a (emacs) window arrangement just so. |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
The state saving facility allows for saving saving and restoration of all URLs, scroll locations, files and window arrangement on a whim. CLIM gui applications that obey the recommended architecture can also trivially plug into this system. |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
There are several other things that simply "make sense", but have somehow not found their way into mainstream linux. One of which is the dashboard. Currently it lists how many lisp LoC and projects are running on the entire machine. It also manages the habits system and allows for one to say, practice mathematics for 1 hours a day without fail, at which point it restores the state prior to starting the habit. |
| 22:00 |
gabriel_laddel |
All state is saved via persistent CLOS by default. |
| 22:01 |
gabriel_laddel |
no explicit transactions etc. necessary. Just `setf' the state of the object in question. |
| 22:01 |
asciilifeform |
state saving and restoration << sbcl's 'save world and die' ? |
| 22:02 |
gabriel_laddel |
asciilifeform: Nope. Though I should include that. The state saving is for files, window layouts, urls and their scroll locations. |
| 22:03 |
gabriel_laddel |
asciilifeform: iirc that SBCL functionality needs some work before it is ready for production. |
