00:03 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: -addnode works
00:03 asciilifeform -connect --- no
00:04 asciilifeform of course this is useless
00:04 asciilifeform but shows that packets do move
00:05 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4400 @ 0.00039312 = 1.7297 BTC [-]
00:05 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it really ought not to be necessary to move blockchains with bare hands!
00:05 asciilifeform that's what '-connect' is for
00:06 mod6 wow, just getting caught up here. have been afk for a while here today...
00:08 mod6 <+asciilifeform> now what i can't remember is whether mod6 already had this orchestra working <+asciilifeform> (with glibc+static) << v0.5.3.1-RELEASE basically is not true "static" build because of the gethostbyname() (DNS/libnss) calls in there. but was trying to build static bitcoind with uclibc/gcc on gentoo, was hitting a problem described here before. If you stripped out all of the DNS stuff and then did a build with gcc/glibc I'm thinkin
00:09 asciilifeform mod6: msg got cut off
00:10 asciilifeform at 'I'm thinking tha'
00:13 mod6 oh crap. ok sorry.
00:13 mircea_popescu asciilifeform hey, i know. what can i do over here.
00:13 mod6 If you stripped out all of the DNS stuff and then did a build with gcc/glibc I'm thinking that would get us where we want to be; sounds like you've done that!
00:13 mod6 my pos car got a flat today, so I limped it up to the station to get a new tire & walked the ~3 miles back.
00:14 asciilifeform mod6: there is still http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1179772 and also figuring out wtf gives with '-connect'
00:14 assbot Logged on 28-06-2015 02:47:49; asciilifeform: (though i'd like to shoot that 'gconv-modules.cache' and 'locale-archive' crud in the head...)
00:14 mod6 only to find out that both front springs are broken (lol) and that's what caused the tire to blow out.
00:14 asciilifeform woah
00:14 asciilifeform srsly?
00:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform anyway, ok if i move back to public access for this ?
00:14 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: go ahead
00:14 asciilifeform i don't think overcrowding was the issue here
00:14 mod6 so now I've got this company to pay $185 and take it off my hands for scrap. hahah
00:14 mircea_popescu got the command predigested for me ?
00:14 mircea_popescu :D
00:16 asciilifeform aaand hey
00:16 asciilifeform it worked
00:16 mircea_popescu huh ?
00:16 asciilifeform wtf
00:16 asciilifeform it's milking
00:16 mircea_popescu lmao
00:16 mod6 you got connected to mp's blockchain milk? or -connect worked for you?
00:16 asciilifeform what did mircea_popescu do ?
00:16 mircea_popescu i played wiff girl.
00:16 asciilifeform l0rl
00:17 mircea_popescu game of yatze
00:17 mircea_popescu anyway, ima keep it locked to your ip till tomorro then
00:17 asciilifeform ty
00:17 mircea_popescu if nothing else then because "don't fuck with shit that works"
00:17 mod6 oh, forgot to mention. the place wanted $500 to replace the springs. which is what prompted me to `mv posCar /dev/scrap`
00:17 * asciilifeform still wondering wtf that was all about
00:18 mircea_popescu very weird.
00:18 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 27097 @ 0.00038778 = 10.5077 BTC [-] {3}
00:18 mod6 hmm
00:18 decimation mod6: mechanics are famous for exploiting folks in what they think are vulnerable situations
00:18 mod6 yeah, they were pretty blown away when I just came and told 'em i was gonna scrap it.
00:19 * trinque lawls at the naked folks biking past him
00:19 trinque there are things to like about this communist land
00:19 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: now stuck again...
00:19 asciilifeform after 43929
00:19 mod6 it's not processing blocks? or you're getting disconnected?
00:20 asciilifeform stalled
00:20 mod6 hmm. give it 10 minutes to be sure... unless it's taking on those weird errors
00:20 asciilifeform no errors
00:20 asciilifeform just... stalls
00:21 asciilifeform as in, nothing moving over the pipe
00:21 mod6 I remember from the block 168`001 issue (tx verification failed) that it would start dumping tons of errors if truly stuck.
00:21 mircea_popescu eh listen, it's prolly getting too much attention
00:21 asciilifeform again, not this
00:21 mod6 ah
00:21 mircea_popescu let it be till tomorro, and we'll see what.
00:21 * asciilifeform leaves the thing running
00:22 asciilifeform picture so far is consistent with massive ddos, imho
00:24 mod6 asciilifeform: thanks a lot for your work tonight on the Static Builder. I'm a bit zapped to start getting into that tonight. Is it cool with you if I start testing it out tomorrow morning?
00:24 mod6 I can work on that and see where I can get with it; then I have to start working on the SoBA for June.
00:24 asciilifeform mod6: no reason to hurry
00:24 mod6 Ok awesome.
00:25 asciilifeform i'm about to sleep a bit myself
00:25 mod6 *nod*
00:25 mod6 thanks for all of your help :]
00:25 asciilifeform np
00:25 asciilifeform this exercise did not take very long but for some reason very tiring
00:26 mod6 yeah, i hear ya.
00:26 mod6 get some rest. tomorrow we can keep on.
00:30 ben_vulpes sleep? when all these titties are biking by?
00:30 * ben_vulpes hauls out lawn chair and bottle of wine
00:30 mod6 haha.
00:31 trinque ben_vulpes: y'know no sooner do I even consider relocating to the land of capitalism and Portland's like "but dude! an army of titties on bikes!"
00:31 trinque ok portland, you win this round
00:32 trinque this I think has something to do with the political problems throughout time
00:32 trinque maybe I should get more drunk and see if pete_dushenski ends up writing about it
00:36 asciilifeform another burst of milkage
00:36 asciilifeform to 44429. stall.
00:36 asciilifeform l0l
00:36 mod6 nice. you think it's being packeted though?
00:36 asciilifeform somebody's taking a king-sized shit in there
00:37 mod6 ah
00:37 asciilifeform either that or somebody between here and there is 'losing' packets.
00:37 decimation or there's a dysfunctional router somewhere
00:38 mod6 what does tr look like?
00:38 asciilifeform decimation: not here
00:40 asciilifeform woah
00:41 asciilifeform some pretty serious strange
00:41 mod6 is it looping
00:42 asciilifeform http://dpaste.com/2WANN89.txt
00:42 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1ebSUU4 )
00:42 asciilifeform mircea_popescu ^
00:43 mod6 asciilifeform: mine looks exactly the same.
00:43 decimation asciilifeform: seems like 'unthreading bitcoind' would be an admiral goal
00:43 asciilifeform decimation: ?
00:44 decimation cutting out the locking, threads ,etc
00:44 asciilifeform tcp without threads?
00:44 asciilifeform wat
00:44 asciilifeform gonna service 1 node at a time ?
00:44 mod6 http://dpaste.com/3WAY4WZ.txt << mine (lol 3way)
00:44 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1ebTbqg )
00:44 asciilifeform with polling ?
00:45 decimation yeah, async
00:45 asciilifeform screw that
00:45 decimation heh
00:45 mod6 heheh
00:45 asciilifeform go build p2p net with 1-at-a-time
00:45 asciilifeform (and what, someone wants to connect, you drop ~everything~ ?)
00:45 decimation I've built several pure async servers
00:46 asciilifeform decimation: what do they do? queue requests ?
00:46 decimation sure
00:46 decimation generally, you write a while loop with epoll or whatever
00:46 decimation jump to whatever bell rings
00:46 asciilifeform as if this thing didn't suck enough balls
00:47 decimation well, it seems to me that there ought to be a definable spec between "talk to peers" and "maintain database of blocks"
00:48 asciilifeform decimation: unless i seriously misunderstood mircea_popescu, not only is the reference client the permanent spec, but so are the turdependencies
00:48 asciilifeform and anything purporting to be a human-readable spec is necessarily incomplete
00:48 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 25944 @ 0.00040271 = 10.4479 BTC [+] {2}
00:49 decimation well, until the book is printed, studied, underped
00:49 decimation over many man-years of effort
00:49 asciilifeform and that we're more or less stuck with this until mythical 'sanity fork'
00:49 trinque decimation: sounds kinda like what I understand nginx to be
00:49 trinque munches a queue of that-which-must-be-done with 1-n workers
00:49 asciilifeform decimation: i don't think that a mathematically-rigorous description of openssl (not to even mention boost and bdb) could be achieved in 10,000 years of sweat
00:50 asciilifeform or that anyone would wish to try.
00:50 decimation even the severable bits that bitcoind really needs?
00:50 asciilifeform it's 'the spittoon'
00:50 asciilifeform none of it is really severable from any of it
00:51 decimation well, ultimately it's all running machine code
00:51 decimation might need to start at that level I guess.
00:51 * asciilifeform actually began there
00:51 asciilifeform tried to come up with a mechanical mapping back from bin to what produced each section in the elf
00:51 asciilifeform even wrote buncha ida script idiocy
00:52 asciilifeform had to put it down, too many other things going on
00:52 asciilifeform gcc, as one might imagine, does not go out of its way to help this be a readily practical thing
00:52 asciilifeform quite the contrary.
00:53 asciilifeform rms ~deliberately~ nudges it, whenever he can, in the direction of being as opaque as possible
00:53 decimation no and as I recall there's hand-written asm in openssl
00:53 asciilifeform decimation: optional
00:53 decimation sure, to keep folks from re-writing gcc
00:53 decimation so he can haz powerz
00:53 asciilifeform decimation: not quite
00:54 asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2014#816009 << see old thread.
00:54 assbot Logged on 30-08-2014 03:37:06; decimation: "The existence of LLVM is a terrible setback for our community precisely because it is not copylefted and can be used as the basis for nonfree compilers — so that all contribution to LLVM directly helps proprietary software as much as it helps us.'"
00:54 asciilifeform .... and another short burst from mircea_popescu's node
00:55 asciilifeform decimation: rms did not want it to break apart into readily-plagiarizable pieces.
00:55 asciilifeform this is annoying but i understand 100%
00:55 asciilifeform why he did it
00:55 ben_vulpes erm i thought bitcoind *did* service one at a time, looping over sockets
00:55 * ben_vulpes to src
00:55 decimation sure, he wants to keep people from mkaing a bsd gcc
00:56 asciilifeform gcc is the original lonely fort keeping the whole gpl thing alive
00:57 asciilifeform the one thing the fucking parasites couldn't effectively plagiarize without leaving trace
00:57 asciilifeform but this had a cost, yes.
00:59 asciilifeform i will note that llvm (since i mentioned it again) is upon the most cursory examination a piece of shit, that wasn't even built to 'be good' - but simply with the one and only purpose of killing gcc.
00:59 asciilifeform rms is spot-on here
00:59 asciilifeform it exists, was built, to help him die.
00:59 decimation I find it unlikely that the fsf will outlive him
01:00 asciilifeform in the sense in which it is now alive? sure
01:00 asciilifeform in the sense of keeping the 'reasonable' folks at bay? doubtful
01:00 decimation maybe.
01:00 asciilifeform as soon as he's out, 'reasonable' people will crawl in and 'make compromises'
01:00 decimation gpl is pretty weak sauce unless you have a barrel of lawyers to help you enforce it
01:01 decimation aye, agreed
01:01 decimation all I want is a world where I get source when I get software
01:01 decimation but I recognize that rms' stand is probably the only way
01:01 asciilifeform won't ask for it to be buildable ?
01:01 asciilifeform on something which in turn is buildable ?
01:01 asciilifeform etc
01:01 decimation aye
01:02 decimation really, he's already lost his war for the reasons you harp on re: bedrock
01:02 asciilifeform rms doesn't do war. not for many years, anyway. he does 'lonely fort'
01:02 asciilifeform keeping out whole universes full of filth
01:02 asciilifeform that will come flooding in as soon as he's out of action
01:03 asciilifeform it is already seeping through the cracks.
01:03 asciilifeform has been, for some years now.
01:03 decimation yeah, as far as I can tell gpl only really 'sticks' to fsf software directly
01:04 asciilifeform gpl is really primarily about gcc and linuxkernel
01:04 decimation yeah
01:04 asciilifeform everything else is window dressing
01:04 decimation not much use to a license if you don't intend on enforcing it
01:05 ben_vulpes (curse these jackholes who littered the source with printstatements that include function names)
01:06 ben_vulpes is there a sane cpp logging thing that could be used in place of these print statements?
01:06 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: there's gcc-specific stuff that folds the line and # into the print
01:06 asciilifeform (can't recall off top of head what, precisely. rtfm...)
01:07 asciilifeform https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Standard-Predefined-Macros.html << possibly here

01:09 * ben_vulpes wonders at actual utility of a patch shaped like this
01:09 asciilifeform i was reluctant to throw gccisms in there, but if we go and start building on mircea_popescu's soviet pdp11 we can always roll equivalent macros for that
01:10 asciilifeform but if you ask me, this falls squarely under 'do this after it fucking ~works~' as described by mircea_popescu earlier.
01:11 * ben_vulpes nods
01:12 * asciilifeform sees another very short burst from mircea_popescu's node
01:12 asciilifeform followed by silence...
01:12 asciilifeform at this rate, the thing will sync some time after the eeproms in my computer lose 9/10th of their bits
01:12 asciilifeform and i die of old age 3-5 times

01:17 mircea_popescu asciilifeform ok ?
01:17 mircea_popescu what is 213.130.38.26?
01:18 asciilifeform damned if i know
01:18 mircea_popescu does ntt europe have a dedicated, identifiable five eyes leecher ?
01:18 asciilifeform wouldn't be the first
01:19 asciilifeform and not merely leecher, but pisser
01:19 mircea_popescu this entire experience painfully reminds me of the famous phoneline click somehow
01:19 asciilifeform aha!
01:19 asciilifeform was just thinking this!
01:19 mircea_popescu im sure it's just my feverish paranoia.
01:19 asciilifeform if it's man-made, it's actually pretty classy
01:20 asciilifeform dropping the connection would get bitcoind rotating to next node

01:20 mircea_popescu you actually managed to get glibc to static ?
01:20 asciilifeform did.

01:21 asciilifeform (-connect from motherlode)
01:21 mircea_popescu aha.
01:22 asciilifeform and would sorta like other folks to read the damn thing
01:22 mircea_popescu yea.
01:22 asciilifeform (no patches necessary to the bitcoind proper beyond what was published previously)
01:22 asciilifeform see ml post.
01:22 mircea_popescu did someoine actually answer "favourite pubkey algo" q with a ... hashing function ?!
01:23 asciilifeform yeah some anon schmuck
01:23 mircea_popescu "what's your favourite fish ?" "shoe"
01:23 mircea_popescu "you mean sole ?" "o yeah that's the one!"
01:23 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: why "stator"
01:23 asciilifeform 'the most delicious fish is the sausage.' --my grandfather
01:23 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: static bin
01:23 mircea_popescu properly made sausage actually floats. therefore not a fish
01:23 mircea_popescu but a witch
01:24 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: ouch
01:24 mircea_popescu are you a pain enthusiast ben_vulpes ?
01:25 mircea_popescu asciilifeform to answer earlier q : i think for thius purpose (running on dulap etc) static glibc is exactly right.
01:25 mircea_popescu doesn't help us on pogo, but that's a diff story.
01:26 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i was actually thinking of doing for ibmpc something like what i did for pogo
01:26 asciilifeform e.g. a kernel that boots right into, this.
01:26 mircea_popescu we'll have to bootstrap ourselves.
01:26 mircea_popescu so that can be v 1.1
01:26 asciilifeform y'know how some hoster folks let you drop an iso in when you get the thing
01:26 mircea_popescu also, kernel is a good idea maybe for pogo. not for a proper server. you want people to add it to all their noncritical dedis.
01:27 asciilifeform 'install favourite os'
01:27 asciilifeform that'd be more for dedicated nodes, aha
01:27 asciilifeform for mixing into daily life - normal package suffices
01:27 mircea_popescu pogo = dedicated node ; this = stick everywhere
01:27 mircea_popescu yeah
01:27 asciilifeform but overall i like the idea of a dc box with bitcoind and LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE
01:27 asciilifeform not even ssh
01:27 mircea_popescu pogo.
01:28 mircea_popescu that box should not be in dc
01:28 mircea_popescu but on consumer internet terminals.
01:28 asciilifeform until we actually get limited mempool, shoot fragging in the head, etc. pogo will be a bit slow
01:28 asciilifeform (it'll have to swap.)
01:28 mircea_popescu understand - it's 10x to 100x more expensive to do a 213.130.38.26 on random home cable than it is on servers
01:29 asciilifeform aha
01:29 asciilifeform unquestionably the whole 'p2p' thing is the right and proper objective

01:58 ben_vulpes maybe someday i'll understand what precisely's going on in serialize.h
01:59 ben_vulpes just strikes me as a bit of black magic that a CDataStream can deserialize itself into a CBlock with just an overloaded right shift operator
01:59 decimation yes, that's what the template does
01:59 decimation 'overloads' >> with another function
02:05 ben_vulpes but how does it know what to serialize the block message into
02:07 decimation as in, what type?
02:11 ben_vulpes maybe? perhaps i'm speaking poorly of ignorance.
02:11 ben_vulpes is that `CBlock block` a contiguous-ish memory section?
02:13 mircea_popescu unlikely.

14:02 asciilifeform by hashing and sending pgpgram...
14:03 ben_vulpes there's no guarantee that you'll produce the same blockchain on disk, though.
14:03 asciilifeform precisely
14:03 asciilifeform hence why we need a mechanism to actually checksum the blocks and dump it to a man-readable form
14:04 ben_vulpes i would actually be *surprised* if you did produce the same disk bytes via a network cslurping

14:10 asciilifeform that will only make sense once the pipe itself is authenticable

14:11 ben_vulpes and if thbox serves at a high bandwidth few bastards and blocks that all verify, why not prefer it over others?
14:12 asciilifeform 'few bastards' is not a criterion while we're using the classical sync mechanism;

14:47 mircea_popescu them silly kids will not really shoot for burning man, of course, but they'd be REALLY really sad in their corner if it went away.

14:54 decimation well, as we have discussed here before, the whole idea of shared libraries is kind of a fucktarded version of 'global namespaces'
14:55 mircea_popescu not ~really~.
14:57 mircea_popescu and i base myself on the fact that they worked pretty well in practice until the new generation of "reformist" idiots got involved, and put 'locale' as a concept in c.
14:57 mircea_popescu before that existed, python worked fine, and static builds were trhe default and so on.

15:02 mircea_popescu <asciilifeform> linux ecosystem was drepperized so long ago that scarcely anyone remembers. << kinda why everyone is reacting with so much disbelief at the sudden "this is not acceptable". they had been doing it forever, gavin as a marginally retarded peripheral agent of the idiocy got totally blindsided by an armed insurection. that we'd pursue it is i suppose plainly unthinkable, the sort of thing the rmcgraths of th
15:02 mircea_popescu e world were dreaming about in their cells twenty years ago, like my grandfather looking at the sky waiting for "the americans" to show up.
15:02 mircea_popescu this is also why poettering et all so plainly expected it to work etc/
15:03 mircea_popescu it all makes perfect sense, looking at it now. they look like patently insane if considered on the merits, but if considered culturally they are simply "i just work here" and "this is how the world works". about as insane as an ant.
15:03 mircea_popescu and as decimation points out, yes we've agreed an ant's insane.
15:05 mircea_popescu <asciilifeform> the thing that boggles my mind is that rms ~must~ have known about the fifth column << you would have expected to read about it on his trilema, yes ? of what is this expectation built, if not out of the existence of trilema, and of the existence of mpoe-pr at my orders, and of the culture this engendered ? rms does not read trilema ; in his ignorance, trilema does not exist and same thing can not be rep

15:07 mircea_popescu "The exchange sheds further light on the latest work" << yeah. it sheds the following light : "work" by these wankers consists these days of outputting random strings from pre-made texts and trying to do a cute seleciton thereof.
15:08 mircea_popescu it's so wrong it's not even cargo cult.
15:09 asciilifeform thing is still running in (short) bursts, as before.
15:09 asciilifeform plenty of outright disconnects, too
15:09 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180407 << this is actually a very beautiful idea.

15:10 asciilifeform 209209.
15:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it's been in my head for a while now.
15:10 mircea_popescu can this actually work for 1.1 ie next version ?
15:10 mircea_popescu have a -checkpoint=111 -checkpointe=113 which takes blocks 111 to 113 hashes them dumps hash.
15:10 asciilifeform really shouldn't be hard. when commanded, will piss out ascii text with block # <<>> hash
15:10 mircea_popescu aye

15:13 asciilifeform other thing, that will have to be added, imho, asap, is a non-retarded version of 'connect'
15:13 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180433 << as you clearly notice, the pipe is authenticable does not equal gosspid : we can have out of band authenticifaction as per the above mechanism.
15:13 assbot Logged on 28-06-2015 18:10:46; asciilifeform: that will only make sense once the pipe itself is authenticable
15:13 mircea_popescu asciilifeform also 1.1 ideally yes.
15:13 asciilifeform where 1) can -connect to *multiple* boxes 2) does not as result wall off from inbound connections
15:13 asciilifeform say i wanna cycle between mircea_popescu's 3 boxen
15:13 mircea_popescu 1 before 2, yes.
15:14 mircea_popescu the entire idea of what we are building here is NODE HIERARCHY.
15:14 asciilifeform or say i wanna permit inbounds from lusers but never getblocks() from them
15:14 mircea_popescu which is to say, i wish my node to connect only to people on THIS list, and let anyone connect to it.
15:14 decimation asciilifeform: what about connecting something to a running bitcoind, siphoning off blocks as they are 'validated'?
15:14 decimation re-index into sane database
15:14 mircea_popescu then the ability of the wankers to poison the chain becomes nil : sure, whatever nodes listen to them listen to them. the infrastructure does not.
15:14 asciilifeform decimation: that's plain old -connect
15:15 asciilifeform decimation: or if you meant some oddball 'embrace & extend' of the sync protocol - yeah, we'll probably get there eventually
15:15 decimation yeah I guess that's kinda what I mean
15:15 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180438 << this would be so fucking great if it's the case.
15:15 assbot Logged on 28-06-2015 18:11:44; asciilifeform: and it is slow because philipinos have to crap out the diddled blocks by hand
15:15 mircea_popescu those poor schmucks imagine.
15:15 decimation implant probes into bitcoind to suck out its blocks
15:15 mircea_popescu they had to murder the connection to buy themselves another 16 hours, because OMFG THEY'RE DOING WHAT ?!?!? NOW ?!?!
15:15 mircea_popescu and now have to work it
15:16 mircea_popescu ahhhh
15:16 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if enemy action indeed rather than the net being a ruinous ball of yarn - they were probably fuzzing for various protocol boojums
15:17 asciilifeform of course, plain old reroute for snorting with derelict infrastructure would have similar 'molasses' effect..
15:17 asciilifeform ^ the most likely picture
15:17 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180453 << i use the same thing. co2 doesn't bother me much, however, i will go into the ss before i put up with that sort of wrist vibration.

15:17 mircea_popescu i intend to remain able to type my entire lifespan.
15:18 decimation well, the other reason I use electric: one less engine to maintain
15:18 asciilifeform what kind of grass mircea_popescu cuts in his flat, lol
15:18 mircea_popescu asciilifeform in timisoara i had a garden recall ?
15:18 asciilifeform aha!
15:18 asciilifeform yes.
15:18 mircea_popescu well, that.
15:18 decimation no gas to store, no oil to change, etc
15:18 mircea_popescu and it was about 1/4 ton of grass each cutting.
15:18 mircea_popescu which means about 20 in a year, which the neighbours helpfully PUT OUTSIDE BY THEIR DUMPSTERS.
15:19 mircea_popescu then went to supermarket and bought feed for the poor yard.
15:19 asciilifeform l0l
15:19 mircea_popescu then they will wish to know why isis comes and beheads them
15:19 mircea_popescu and it will be an unexpolainable hatred, i'm sure.
15:20 decimation mircea_popescu: generally here the received wisdom is that you want to leave grass clippings on the lawn
15:20 * asciilifeform bbl, playing with pet
15:20 decimation rots, recycles nutrients
15:20 mircea_popescu decimation what i did was pile it all in a corner.
15:21 mircea_popescu also rots. also provides nutrients. can be split up over the yard beforer first snow.
15:21 decimation yeah, that works too
15:21 mircea_popescu also attracts birds.
15:21 decimation you can add kitchen scraps and wood clippings, make good compost
15:21 mircea_popescu ideally you start it with a good offering of herbivore droppings.
15:22 decimation that's a good idea
15:22 mircea_popescu and i did add the wood clippings, ie, me cutting off an apple and a pear tree into shape over a coupla years, after having been neglected for 5ish
15:22 decimation I've also heard of going to the nearest swamp and grabbing the muck
15:22 mircea_popescu not very useful, for your thing will not be either that wet or that basic. very acidic
15:22 mircea_popescu horsesht the only way to go.
15:23 decimation yeah that's a good idea
15:23 decimation ^ note that this is how people made fertiziler since the dawn of time
15:23 mircea_popescu just don't put anything coniferous / wallnut in there.
15:23 mircea_popescu like the ornamental tree stuffs.
15:26 mircea_popescu "You don't have to boot frmo the CDROM. And if you need a router you have a network and therefore can connect to another machine."
15:26 mircea_popescu Date: 19 Aug 1999 15:38:56 -0700
15:26 mircea_popescu imo nsa of 1999 was much better organised than the crap of today.
15:27 mircea_popescu For instance: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf ("Hello World\n"); } compiles to 985,018 bytes. This is almost all libc overhead.
15:27 mircea_popescu what is it by now ? 4mb ?
15:28 decimation heh
15:30 decimation it's only 8.3k on mac osx
15:30 mircea_popescu that's pretty good.
15:31 decimation 6.4kbyte on redhat 6
15:34 decimation that's shared linking though
15:34 mircea_popescu nonono, static
15:36 decimation heh 743kbyte on redhat
15:36 mircea_popescu mmkay.
15:37 mircea_popescu incredible that this "free world" thing has waited patiently, and incredibly quietly, for 25 years for us to show up. i imagine it will be very hurt in its hopes and aspirations when i spit in its mouth.
15:37 mircea_popescu because truly, it was waiting for salvation! resisting through culture!
15:37 mircea_popescu they really did mean to assassinate hitler!
15:38 mircea_popescu just biding their time, waiting for a good opportunity, honest! wanted to do maximum damage, and as we all know, ~MAXIMUM~ damage is always in the future.
15:39 mircea_popescu what's needed is a fucking ISCS. the intellectual state of computer science.

22:18 mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel think about it. why would you want to spend time with an idiot if you're not fucking her. and what else is an idiot if not one in dire need of some education.
22:21 gabriel_laddel mircea_popescu: there are not many real people in my locale that I get to play with :/
22:21 mircea_popescu virtual educations are like virtual machines.
22:21 gabriel_laddel ?
22:21 mircea_popescu cheap, dispensable solutions you can't rely on.
22:21 gabriel_laddel also, I would be very much like to have some Chinese & Korean kids educated by WoT members
22:23 gabriel_laddel My impression of Vulpes Academy was that it would have a physical manifestation.
22:23 gabriel_laddel Sort of like a club for kids whose parents are on the up and up
22:23 gabriel_laddel with a library
22:23 gabriel_laddel and a lab
22:23 gabriel_laddel and visiting instructors
22:24 mircea_popescu how about you educate your children pre-puberty, and whoever they feel like educates them post ?
22:24 mats lol what
22:24 mircea_popescu there is really no substance to the institution of marriage outside of this.

22:25 mats get back to me in a few years, huh
22:26 gabriel_laddel mats: lol, I need to be adopted, not the other way around.
22:27 gabriel_laddel mircea_popescu: It seems to me that the academy should educate kids of ages 15 and older, so you have something to work with.
22:28 mircea_popescu a) you can't educate "a class". individuals only ; b) you can't educate people you don't, most intimately, know ; c) there's no education outside of the educated's choice.
22:28 gabriel_laddel "we assume you can read, write and do simple mathematics - now build some rockets and jungle IC on the cheap"
22:28 mircea_popescu so... let them pick sex partners. that's the only education they either can have or need.

22:35 mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel your protest is not unlike protesting everything on earth gotta spin around the sun.

22:35 asciilifeform 'listen maggots, in six weeks come back with a basic unix'
22:35 gabriel_laddel I'm not protesting, just noting that perhaps not everyone is *quite* as sexually driven as yourself .
22:36 mircea_popescu why do you think i myself have anything to do with it ?
22:36 mircea_popescu it is with great sorrow i say the above, no sort of anticipation.
22:37 gabriel_laddel Hrm. Perhaps I should have said "not everyone sees everything through the lense of sexual attraction constantly" - myself being a prime example.
22:37 mircea_popescu that'd be a problem of poor sight.
22:38 gabriel_laddel And the probably also the straight(?) mathematican I had a conversation with last weekend.

22:40 gabriel_laddel What.

22:40 gabriel_laddel I've *never* slept with anyone I've learned from.
22:40 asciilifeform (as in army)

22:41 asciilifeform mod6: no hurry
22:41 mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel's committing this error where he's proposing that since he's not fucking the girl, he's not in love with her ; asciilifeform is committing this error where since there was a building in the vicinity of the learning, the building is now a school.
22:41 mircea_popescu these are unsubstantial, purely nominalist problems

22:44 mircea_popescu Along these lines, Meerloo offers a prescription: “We must learn to treat the demagogue and aspirant dictator in our midst just as we should treat our external enemies in a cold war – with the weapon of ridicule. The demagogue himself is almost incapable of humor of any sort, and if we treat him with humor, he will begin to collapse. Humor is, after all, related to a sense of perspective. If we can see how things s
22:44 mircea_popescu hould be, we can see how askew they can get, and we can recognize distortion when we are confronted with it.” << for the record, this is rank nonsense. it only seems to work because americans are the worst of all german stocks - incredibly stolid, unhumorous fellows.
22:45 mircea_popescu societies exhibiting an incredibly exacerbated "making fun" cancer have been recorded. they still have the same problems with demagogues and peoples' general emotional insanity. humor is no panacea.
22:45 mircea_popescu that said, it'd be incredible cultural progress for the us if it actually was a little funnier.
