00:22 asciilifeform - It's a symbol, in the shitvi, explained his father, the King. You have to experience real loss to understand the importance of respecting the subterranean world and its rules. It's not easy to do. That's why when someone does it, he's considered truly an adult and counted with people. Until then his notions don't matter. I know what I say may seem absurd to you, but then again one day you'll be prepared, and willing to cut o

01:59 ben_vulpes i'm speshul tho. i'm cool and i get to drive my car as much as i want :P
01:59 BingoBoingo Nah, insurance should be cheap. Getting insurance though should be hard through other means.
01:59 mats you gonna decentralize vehicle inspections, background checks, accounting, driver recruitment, commercial insurance, too?
02:00 HeySteve eh, sounds like a lot of unecessary paperwork to me

02:32 funkenstein_ well if TX channels do break, it is eventually the resonsibility of the spender to get the TX to a pool - using external channel
02:32 ben_vulpes sharp lisper might be able to sell software in that space.
02:32 trinque ben_vulpes: that's what I would like
02:32 trinque I've looked around for a common lisp on llvm, as that's what farts into webasm

02:32 trinque but maybe one's called for now
02:34 ben_vulpes di i still have to fuck with the dom in webasm?

11:49 mircea_popescu why ? because intelligence and ambition are unrelated, and the ambitiously ungifted have absolutely no incentive in recognizing their shortcoming. it's not that it's cheaper to pretend. it's that literally no other alternative is present.

13:39 mircea_popescu from experience, most people's understanding of cryptography is comensurate with your average 1700s peasants' understanding of contraception.
13:39 ascii_field l0l!
13:40 Jautenim gah, I didn't check the new stator.sh
13:40 Jautenim allrighto
13:40 decimation yeah that seems about right
13:41 decimation mircea_popescu: but seemingly everyone is a "crypto enthusiast" today.
13:41 mircea_popescu only here.
13:43 jurov Jautenim: problem was here, all three came through
13:43 mircea_popescu anyway, it is interesting to point out that the first 2 gb blockindes fit a whopping 188k blocks
13:43 mircea_popescu these days they're still fitting 3-5k blocks.
13:43 mircea_popescu soon it will be a new 2gb file each two weeks.
13:44 ascii_field aha, that's about right for 10min, 1MB blocks
13:44 ascii_field (upper limit)
13:44 decimation you know with these 'blockchain bitrates' I would be concerned about bitrot on disks
13:44 decimation not like pogos have ecc
13:44 ascii_field decimation: i'm pretty certain that i experienced a bitflip last night
13:45 decimation actually, this is an excellent case for putting ecc in bitcoin
13:45 ascii_field decimation: ecc cannot be implemented in software
13:45 decimation or at least, in the disk-storage gismo
13:45 decimation why not
13:45 ascii_field (to an extent, sure, but ~any bit~ can flip)
13:45 ascii_field including arbitrary code bit
13:46 decimation yeah, but I don't give a shit if a pogo's code bit flips, probably will crash
13:46 ascii_field mno
13:46 ascii_field this is very much a mistake
13:46 decimation I do give a shit if none of the pogos have a coherent record of the blocks
13:46 mircea_popescu decimation very much so.
13:46 mircea_popescu there are many considerations here. for instance, as an exercise to the trainee : calculate the minimum storage space required to GUARANTEE bit=wise identity over X bytes of information.
13:47 ascii_field mircea_popescu: that one's easy - infinity
13:47 decimation in noisy channels there are no guarantees
13:47 ascii_field ^
13:47 mircea_popescu obviously, for t = infinity the size -> infinity.
13:47 mircea_popescu wait, wut ?!
13:48 ascii_field best one can hope for is to get it an order of magnitude below 'asteroid hits your computer' probability
13:48 decimation ascii_field: the problem: try finding reliable statistics on your consumer grade hard drives
13:48 mircea_popescu myeah.
13:48 mircea_popescu because we live in the best possible world built on top of !!!science!!! so nothing is ever sold by any sort of spec.
13:48 ascii_field blockchain really belongs on combo of mask and antifuse rom
13:49 ascii_field afaik neither is manufactured today
13:49 ascii_field i tried to buy some
13:49 ascii_field (mask rom for known blocks from the past, antifuse for future ones)
13:49 ascii_field both are immune to anything short of room-melting level of radiation
13:50 ascii_field (on the former, no way to flip a bit - physically - at all; on the latter - need high current and moderately high voltage)

13:54 mircea_popescu ascii_field nuts. i tell you ... the load is < .2 and has not peaked above 1 (this is on 8 cpu machine). there is nothing deferred or anthing suspicious in the logs. the eth card is doing fine. two dozen connections, routinely hitting 1mbps. etc.
13:55 ascii_field mircea_popescu: downstream.
13:55 ascii_field must be.
13:55 mircea_popescu it must.
13:55 ascii_field this is gonna be a problem
13:55 mircea_popescu it might.
13:55 ascii_field i suspect we have come to a 'chinese' point
13:55 mircea_popescu !up ascii_field
13:55 jurov try to run it in ssh tunnel?
13:55 mircea_popescu howssat ?
13:56 ascii_field where the buggers use what they have - control over backbones - to annoy people
13:56 ascii_field ssh tunnel is what i suggested earlier aha
13:56 ascii_field but not a long-term solution to anything
13:56 * ascii_field observes 5 sec. or so burst
13:56 mircea_popescu a) that, b) what would it do ?
13:56 decimation ascii_field: it could also be just misconfigured routers
13:56 decimation "buffer bloat"
13:56 mircea_popescu we know we can actually pass data between each other. what we wish to find out is what causes this behaviour and who to kill.
13:57 mircea_popescu decimation yes, but this server would not stand if that were the case.
13:57 jurov if ssh works fine, you'd confirm that someone is doing packet inspection
13:57 ascii_field ^
13:57 mircea_popescu i guess.
13:57 mircea_popescu ascii_field whadda ya need ?
13:57 decimation if you are using a standard linux distro, it's well known that older kernels had buffer bloat/tcp tuning issues
13:57 ascii_field except, who exactly needed to inspect

14:06 decimation ascii_field: note the statistics from backblaze don't show the probability of single bit errors (undetected by the drive)
14:06 ascii_field decimation: dram bitflips are far more interesting
14:06 ascii_field because you can't get 'raid' for dram
14:06 ascii_field whereas nobody serious gives a fuck re: disks
14:07 decimation yeah, but we have jungle hardware, can't get ecc dram
14:07 ascii_field because P(bit-n-disk0 + bit-n-disk1) flip ~= 0
14:07 decimation right, but pogo class machine only has one drive

14:08 ascii_field mircea_popescu: some 'cyber sek000r1ty!11!! firm'
14:08 mircea_popescu ridiculous.
14:08 mircea_popescu so they spent 250k (abnd counting) so as to lose 4mn off a schmuck's home connection ?
14:09 mircea_popescu whatever, owners' / investors' problem.
14:09 mircea_popescu <decimation> or why those filthy laptops can come anywhere near their 'hot wallet key' << this is easy enough to answer, if you think about it. and if you don't... if you let history be your guide.
14:10 mircea_popescu i'd withdraw anything i had in that shithole by now, had i not withdrawn it long before, had i had anything in there in the first place.
14:10 decimation what's amusing is that nobody gets it right, or apparently even tries
14:10 decimation imagine how bad fiat systems are
14:10 mircea_popescu or at least, "no one you'd hear about on reddit"
14:11 mircea_popescu because yes, the point of life is to preserve that most valuable delusion - that "nobody could have foreseen..."
14:11 decimation well, as far as bitcoin exchanges are concerned
14:11 mircea_popescu essentially the adult version of "but daddy, all the kids in class got this question wrong too!"
14:12 mircea_popescu but to get back to jurov's more interesting thread
14:12 mircea_popescu netstat wut ?
14:12 jurov netstat -tnp
14:12 * mircea_popescu is trying to bootstrap the public interest in the matter into getting a networking education for himself.
14:12 mircea_popescu sudo ? or just plain ?
14:12 jurov and it shows all open connections, with kernel buffers
14:12 jurov usually sudo
14:13 decimation yeah, find ascii's connection and see what the sendQ value is
14:13 jurov with general conclusion that if SendQ buffer is empty then it's application fault
14:14 decimation assuming that this is the last machine that touches it before it goes to your isp
14:14 jurov otherwise either kernel stalls or pipe is congested(dropped packets, whatever)
14:14 mircea_popescu stuff like 422816 k in the sendq
14:14 decimation the stereotypical 'buffer bloat' problem is that you find packets become extremely lagged when there is heavy bandwidth use
14:15 mircea_popescu but atm i don't even see stan's client connected.
14:16 mircea_popescu <jurov> otherwise either kernel stalls or pipe is congested(dropped packets, whatever) << i thought this may well be it previously, as load was uncharacteristically high for this application. but solved that problem and apparently no improvement.
14:17 mircea_popescu decimation i know, but this is a major server doing all sorts of other things. it could not stand for five minutes if that were the problem.

14:20 ascii_field mircea_popescu: the latter we now call 'bastard'
14:20 mircea_popescu alright. but the former's still stale rather than orphan

14:20 mircea_popescu not sure english comprehends.

14:28 assbot File formats -- blkindex.dat and blk0001.dat ... ( http://bit.ly/1f1Vm0F )
14:30 mircea_popescu ascii_field eh. proceeding from the other direction : not only is the need for a bdb datastore directly indicative of allignment problems, but moreover its presence virtually guarantees them. so no, i don't think you can actually rely on "block after block" thing, but then again i can't be arsed to emacs a .dat
14:31 mircea_popescu honestly the only sane arrangement would be either a) store each block as a file, or else b) store blocks in arbitrary sized files, each starting at offsed 1Mb * block_count
14:31 ascii_field the bdb thing is for tx (and block-by-header) indexing
14:31 ascii_field as so the thing doesn't end up running in O(N) time
14:31 ascii_field 'each block as a file' strains filesystem
14:31 mircea_popescu no fucking idea why it hasn't implemented a from the get go incidentally.
14:31 ascii_field (and kills winblowz dead of course)
14:31 mircea_popescu yeah but filesystem is who is supposed to deal with this.
14:31 mircea_popescu NOT MY JOB OMFG
14:32 mircea_popescu let the problem be solved once and solved well.
14:32 ascii_field filesystems (other than reiser) don't like dir full of millions of turdz
14:32 mircea_popescu so make it a dir tree.

14:32 ascii_field it is easy to solve. just define custom fs for blockchain
14:32 ascii_field we spoke of this ages ago
14:32 mircea_popescu myeah.
14:32 ascii_field let it have own block device.
14:32 mircea_popescu yet another place where bitcoind and kernel merge.
14:32 mircea_popescu because if you run bitcoin on that system, ALL the tradeoffs the kernel makes MUST be organised around its needs.
14:33 ascii_field it is what i wanted to do in the mythical msdos port
14:33 mircea_popescu maybe not msdos, but i think cp/m would actually suffice for everything involved.
14:33 ascii_field (msdos, as we know, won't eat a +2G fs - but doesn't give a damn what you say to the disk controller. so roll your own.)
14:33 ascii_field the only thing that even needs an os in the usual sense is the threading
14:34 ascii_field and not, as naive might suppose, the tcp/ip !
14:34 decimation you could make a dirtree
14:34 ascii_field there are ~working~ tcp stacks for 'bare bios'
14:34 ascii_field i have one here
14:34 mircea_popescu in any case i regard the blkxxx scheme as a hare brained, buggy slow and stupid reimplementation of a filesystem in a kernel that's trying to be an app.
14:34 ascii_field aha
14:34 decimation I used one for 80806
14:34 decimation 8086

14:35 ascii_field it's how we got the blkxxxx turd in the 1st place
14:35 ascii_field with its 2g blobs
14:35 mircea_popescu ahaha wait
14:35 mircea_popescu THAT is how 2gb got picked ?
14:35 ascii_field how did you think

15:27 midnightmagic So? Opinion doesn't mean action; and it doesn't follow that I'd waste my time reporting, or even communicating with an inverted totalitarianist state, given the literal costs of doing so in terms of freedom and money.
15:27 ag3nt_zer0 interesting - have never heard of Mirandola referred to as a core "traditionalist" writer - Guenon, Schuon, Evola, Burkhardt and others - but not Mirandola. From a nothing read I can see a similarity in their attempt to legitimize these modalities of thought but I read that his ideas were influential in renaissance humanism which guenon appears to be highly critical of... ?

19:50 asciilifeform (it was a stationary laboratory robot, ~2x1x1 metres. so all that was at stake was an odd hand or two)
19:51 williamdunne I could put up with losing my legs, but I would be fucked if I lost my hands
19:51 asciilifeform so don't lose'em
19:52 asciilifeform at any rate, more folks lose hands from ordinary qwerty than from any robot

21:08 williamdunne I haven't had many, so I can't give a good answer.

21:26 williamdunne "Amusement Tax", mmmmK
21:26 punkman it does amuse
21:29 williamdunne I'm quite curious about how on earth that works as far as jurisdiction goes
21:29 williamdunne How can Chicago enforce a tax law on a company not based in Chicago?
21:29 punkman or EU wanting non-EU companies paying VAT
21:30 williamdunne That one too
21:30 williamdunne Or the more recent ruling on EU VAT where its billed at the customer country
21:30 williamdunne Rather than the operator
21:30 williamdunne So you've got to pay VAT to 20+ agencies IIRC
21:31 punkman nah supposedly you'll be paying at one and they'll split it up

The blast from most bombs takes the easiest path, in this case outwards then upwards to atmosphere. The crater could only have appeared if the bomb was dropped from an aircraft, or was b

23:54 asciilifeform '... On the available evidence it seems the aspirations of a small arrogant bunch of men who decided to impose a "New World Order'" on a host of very unwilling small sovereign nations, did not think the exercise through to its perhaps inevitable conclusion.
