00:15 BingoBoingo <decimation> those 50 acres are either owned by monsanto or abandoned today << Please point me to 50 US acres that are truly abadon. No "owner" no renter, no Sheriff.
00:15 Vexual you mean like a cinemagraphical error?
00:15 BingoBoingo Especially the last point because sheriff usually enforces abadon remaining verboten
00:16 BingoBoingo Vexual: More like lazy cinema

04:41 assbot Logged on 09-07-2015 01:59:04; asciilifeform: and this kind of dull, mechanistic diddlage is precisely what usg specializes in
04:41 jurov shiffing, yes.
04:41 jurov *sniffing
04:42 jurov but actively intercepting and replacing individual packets is much more complicated effort
04:42 jurov so far only china managed that with any degree of success
04:43 BingoBoingo shinohai: If you must link to reddit no np.reddit links, for they are a trap to preserve their platform
04:44 jurov and it needs so much manpower that someone from "terrorist-packets-on-backbone-diddling-dept." would already spill the beans
04:44 shinohai I fergotI forgot i was laughing so hard BingoBoingo
04:44 shinohai It is EXACTLY like them
04:49 jurov say, let's put time.windows.com or google's addy among there and make the occassional packet look like systemd or windows emit
04:49 jurov what is usg to do? risk diddling time on throngs of linux/windows machines?
04:50 jurov or try to precisely pinpoint which packet is from pogo and which is from other machines?
04:51 jurov or make buth m$/google move the servers to different IPs? no way that wouldn't get noticed, actually would be useful signal for us

10:48 asciilifeform it won't happen every day, naturally. just when 'national s333k000r1ty' requires a stinkbomb dropped on the network - to keep a certain tx from getting relayed, say
10:48 jurov how do you know ntp is from the bitcoin node and not from other machine on the same network?
10:49 asciilifeform naturally, you don't

10:49 assbot Logged on 20-02-2015 03:34:05; mircea_popescu: In addition, anti-fascism was never to have as cheap as today. Previously, he could cost you your life, today it costs no more than lip service among peers - and heard to this, the exclusive circle of the upright, decent, brave. The fighters against law form the peerage of enlightened society. Or even a shot polemical: Here is an indulgence trade takes place; the moral superiority can be acquired sim
10:49 asciilifeform i can envision other scenarios
10:49 jurov so, instruct chumps "scream if you notice weird time"
10:50 asciilifeform we launch the pogos, and suddenly 'ntp is obsolete, dontchaknow,' here is a new replacement by poettering, 85% consensus1111!!!1111!!! within weeks, plug pulled on ntp servers

10:50 assbot Room 641A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1gq7okT )
10:51 asciilifeform jurov: idea is that no one will 'notice weird time', nodes will just silently drift off the network
10:51 decimation reportedly it was a passive beam splitter
10:51 decimation how you gonna delay packets with that
10:51 asciilifeform decimation: i can't comment on what's in the other '641a's.
10:51 asciilifeform or for that matter, in the original
10:52 asciilifeform (today, that is)
10:52 jurov asciilifeform: and my idea is that pogos will be together with other computers behind the NAT
10:52 jurov and these other computers can server as canary, users *do* notice time off by hour

10:54 asciilifeform jurov: gotta understand, my allergy to ntp is more of a 'reason from causes, not from purposes'-theorem application
10:54 asciilifeform than dread of a specific boojum
10:54 jurov if it is not specific, how it can be a cause?
10:54 asciilifeform i believe that it is wrong for a large network of bitcoin nodes to depend on a usg institution.
10:54 asciilifeform i am only dreaming up specifics because asked to
10:55 asciilifeform since everybody seems to insist on doing mental gymnastics to come to peace with using ntp
10:55 jurov and i keep telling you they already do cuz internet *is* usg institution
10:56 asciilifeform once 'gossip' is running, the only thing enemy will be able to do is pull plugs
10:56 jurov jam tomorrow
10:56 asciilifeform so in that sense it is 'usg institution' in exactly the way my house, and my earthly carcass, are
10:57 asciilifeform jurov: the particular example, 'gossip', ~is~ jam tomorrow, yes. but it is possible to run encrypted tunnels of various sorts even today.
10:57 asciilifeform enemy is stuck pulling plugs.
10:57 asciilifeform ntp, on other hand, is a pants-down unauthenticated plaintext (for reasons explained previously, this cannot really be helped)
10:59 jurov we're stuck with ntp since you rejected everything other short of bitcoin reimplementation
11:00 jurov if we agree to ship with pogos also 100 of authed ntp servers, I'm all for it
11:00 asciilifeform jurov: probably
11:00 jurov (provide, i mean)
11:00 asciilifeform gotta think of a way to sanity-check it
11:01 jurov just that in your scenario of hostile isp and everything, they will be yet more easy to block than time.windows.com
11:02 asciilifeform hence sanity-check rather than reliance
11:02 jurov aha
11:03 asciilifeform i've also thought about personally retrofitting the pogos with the crystals
11:04 asciilifeform (it also needs a capacitor or li battery on the power input to the rtc)
11:05 asciilifeform could probably do several hundred in a weekend, if they were sent to me disassembled
11:06 asciilifeform i also learned last night that chinese rtc modules, complete with battery, are about fifty cents in quantity
11:07 asciilifeform can be attached to the gpio in pogo

11:09 asciilifeform ?
11:10 decimation sorry tmux died
11:10 asciilifeform incidentally, if anybody feels up to falling on this grenade with me, please speak up
11:10 decimation asciilifeform: are there specs for the rtc modules? specifically thermal stability?
11:11 asciilifeform decimation: not afaik. probably best to assume the worst.
11:11 asciilifeform but overall i'm much less allergic to the idea of letting ntp adjust a running clock by a percent now and then
11:11 asciilifeform than straight intravenous injection from ntp into a machine with no clock to speak of
11:12 decimation aye
11:18 lobbes heh, we need a b-a factory.

11:49 asciilifeform why is anyone using that thing again...?
11:51 mircea_popescu because bitcoin uses it
11:51 asciilifeform not the cert crud
11:52 mircea_popescu people don't know. "openssl" right ?
11:52 mircea_popescu "During certificate verification, OpenSSL (starting from version 1.0.1n and 1.0.2b) will attempt to find an alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf certificate to act as a CA and "issue"
11:52 mircea_popescu an invalid certificate."
11:52 asciilifeform (though it's been a while since i looked at the turdation's tree - perhaps they do ?)
11:52 mircea_popescu and yet, "we do not feel compelled to denounce the person who added this hole in our codebase, and call for a boycott from everyone on it against their sorry ass. because, fundamentally... it's us."
11:53 asciilifeform who else.
11:53 asciilifeform not martians, no.
11:53 mircea_popescu "As per our previous announcements and our Release Strategy (https://www.openssl.org/about/releasestrat.html), support for OpenSSL versions 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 will cease on 31st December 2015. No security updates for these releases will be provided after that date. Users of these releases are advised to upgrade."
11:53 mircea_popescu non sequitur prize of the year.
11:54 mircea_popescu "we will stop deliberately adding holes to these versions aftyer this date, and you are please asked to upgrade because we won't be sending patches a quarter afterwards, either"
11:54 mircea_popescu herp.
11:54 mircea_popescu DO NOT EVER FUCKING UPGRADE ANYTHING.
11:54 mircea_popescu that way, you won't need "security patches" in the first place.

12:08 * asciilifeform remembers very well
12:14 shinohai Not seeing my drive :/
12:14 asciilifeform shinohai: what are you running ?
12:15 shinohai Busybox on pogo mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /tmp/usb failed: Invalid argument
12:15 asciilifeform what's on the drive ?
12:16 shinohai nothing
12:16 asciilifeform of course it won't mount
12:16 asciilifeform gotta partition it
12:16 punkman the "spam" is now up to 0.00034513 fee
12:17 * shinohai checks
12:18 shinohai Fer crissakes I forgot to partition fr.
12:18 shinohai But it must wait until sfter lunch.
12:18 shinohai *after
12:28 mircea_popescu shinohai got email ?
12:28 mircea_popescu ;;calc 0.00034513 * 270
12:28 gribble 0.0931851
12:28 mircea_popescu 10 cents, not bad.
12:29 shinohai got email
12:31 asciilifeform 'brother can you spare a dime'

12:35 decimation asciilifeform: www.ebay.com/itm/INBOARD-RTC-DS3232-Real-Time-Clock-and-Temperature-Sensor-I2C-BUS-PIC-AVR-ARM-/120841157983 < hi-spec part
12:36 decimation unlike alot of the other rtcs, the crystal is on-chip and temp compensated
12:36 mircea_popescu that's a spiffy clock.
12:36 decimation my reading of the spec sheet is that combined aging and temperature stability (assuming 0-40C) would be about 8.5 ppm
12:36 decimation which means about 4.5 minutes per year
12:36 decimation for 10 years
12:37 mircea_popescu yeah it's good for a decade, since we have ~2 hours to spare
12:37 decimation likely, the cr1203 battery wouldn't last that log
12:37 mircea_popescu you'd be surprised. those damned things... i've had one for a decade.
12:37 asciilifeform i have a 15 yr-old one that's still going
12:37 asciilifeform and i've had ones die after <5
12:37 decimation but as you can see it isn't cheap, the chip is about $9 in single quantity and about $4 in units of 1000
12:38 asciilifeform 'your mileage may vary'
12:38 mircea_popescu yeah. like hdds : either dead in six months or good forever.
12:38 mircea_popescu like humans, actually. either die as a youthful ape, or else get cancer, or else... age 150
12:39 asciilifeform decimation: the thing you linked to costs more than pogo...
12:39 decimation I know :(
12:39 asciilifeform may as well suggest atomic
12:39 shinohai I got a really old SATA with debian wheezy on it
12:39 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it's still a very good clock by the looks of it.
12:39 asciilifeform it is
12:39 decimation unfortunately the really cheap ($1) rtcs available do not come with specs, it would be interesting to know what they are
12:39 asciilifeform probably better than most pc mobos
12:40 decimation yes, it certainly is
12:40 mircea_popescu definitely.
12:40 decimation also I'm not sure if pogo has i2c bus
12:40 mircea_popescu iirc - no.
12:40 asciilifeform l0l i think ~it~ is on my mobo
12:40 asciilifeform the very same
12:40 mircea_popescu maybe on the better ones
12:41 asciilifeform highest end amd mobo of ~8 yrs ago
12:41 decimation asciilifeform: you can configure ntp to ignore the network and use RTC
12:41 mircea_popescu i don't expect technologee changed these much since the 90s
12:41 asciilifeform decimation: what good does that do ?
12:41 decimation you set rtc, usg doesn't set your clock?
12:41 asciilifeform then why ntp
12:41 mircea_popescu he doesn't want to set anything
12:41 decimation to discipline the kernel timebase
12:41 mircea_popescu he just wants things to do shit!
12:42 decimation likely the rtc has a more stable clock than the 2ghz clock that runs your cpu
12:42 asciilifeform decimation: and can't do this without a proggy that opens sockets ?
12:42 asciilifeform why the fuck not ?
12:42 mircea_popescu moar unpnp ? :D
12:43 decimation well, the advantage that ntp brings is the long-term PLL that gently corrects
12:43 decimation but you could periodically bang the clock
12:43 asciilifeform decimation: i'd have bitcoind snarf time straight from the rtc chip
12:43 asciilifeform why the ceremonies.
12:43 decimation in the case of bitcoind that would work
12:43 decimation for other applications moving the clock around might make them sad
12:43 asciilifeform there are no other proggies on pogo
12:43 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you ready for the will/intelligence discussion ?
12:43 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: fire away
12:44 * decimation back to mines
12:44 scoopbot_revived Eulora News Bulletin of today. http://trilema.com/2015/eulora-news-bulletin-of-today/
12:44 mircea_popescu me ? you're the one to fire. you proposed pink shapeless.
12:44 mircea_popescu o incidentally. that article ^ prolly interests you
12:44 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: well, the impression i get is that you think 'will' is a scalar
12:49 asciilifeform will is not a scalar. perelman has will, mircea_popescu has will, i have will, and napoleon had will, and comparing magnitudes alone is rank nonsense
12:49 mircea_popescu but that's not where the problem lies. the problem lies at the spot where you propose there exists an "intelligence" that nevertheless does not have control of the processor.
12:50 mircea_popescu if one is purportedly intelligent, how is it then that his brain does not work intelligently ?
12:50 asciilifeform intelligence is 'car,' will is 'driver'
12:50 mircea_popescu then intelligence is no sort of intelligence at all.
12:50 mircea_popescu i dub it "derp" and rename your will intelligence.
12:50 asciilifeform driver sans car sits and makes 'vroom, vroom' noises; car without driver - sits, rusts.
12:51 mircea_popescu for this is the definition of intellectual faculty : the driver.
12:51 mircea_popescu everything else, muscle power.
12:52 mircea_popescu and yes, redditards are not necessarily unintelligent in the sense of derp.
12:52 mircea_popescu they're actually very derpy.
12:52 mircea_popescu problem is they're dumb as rocks, is all.
12:53 asciilifeform other thing is that the meat brain is not a von neumann machine, and has specific circuits for certain problems. it is possible to walk around with those damaged and others - functional
12:53 mircea_popescu so is a guy paralised on half his body half an athlete ?
12:53 asciilifeform if he's an arm wrestling champ !
12:53 asciilifeform and has his working arm.
12:54 mircea_popescu kinda why arm wrestling is not athletics :)
12:54 mircea_popescu in any case, weren't you bravely accusing ME of viewing things as scalars ?
12:54 mircea_popescu how come they're now divisible with 2.
12:55 funkenstein_ there is a special space in the hilbert space of stupidity for those who think intelligence can be well described with a scalar
12:55 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: my contention was that you describe will as a spectrum, perhaps between 'spineless clerk' and 'napoleon'
12:55 mircea_popescu i dun think i do.
12:56 mircea_popescu there is an ennumerable list of people by their intelligence. this usually reduces to sorting them by score
12:56 asciilifeform whereas i contend that it is possible to be 'napoleon' with theorems and 'spineless piece of shit' with girlz
12:56 mircea_popescu and that score is how much money they have.
12:56 asciilifeform or vice-versa
12:56 mircea_popescu only if one WANTS TO
12:57 funkenstein_ i have found fiat wealth correlates linearly with a broad integral of stupidity
12:57 asciilifeform well that'd be a kind of perverse but technically correct definition of 'will'
12:57 mircea_popescu "oh it can be the case i can lift rocks but not railroad metal"
12:57 mircea_popescu rly.
12:57 asciilifeform how strong is your 'want muscle'
12:57 asciilifeform it's more of a 'i can lift rocks but not porcupines'
12:57 mircea_popescu inasmuch as they both exist, they both exist. inasmuch as the one you're good at doesn't exist, you're basically wanking.
12:58 * asciilifeform confused
12:58 mircea_popescu the curse of existence is that it is approachable. just like a tool has its uses, irrespective of a maker's intention.
12:58 mircea_popescu everything that is, is. which has some effects.
12:58 asciilifeform which is the item mircea_popescu is describing as not existing? and which - not ?
12:58 mircea_popescu i am doing no such thing.
12:59 mircea_popescu i am merely pointing out that if both things you discuss exist, then both necessarily, by definition of existence, are approachable.
12:59 mircea_popescu this is traditonally pointed out to the shy young male as "you know, even the lady of your heart farts"
12:59 mircea_popescu or whatever, your hero also bleeds, there's a lengthy cultural history of this idealisation problem.
13:00 asciilifeform proof of twin-primes conjecture is also 'approachable' by this token
13:00 asciilifeform in that it is sitting 'there' to be dug up
13:00 mircea_popescu only if it exists :)
13:00 mircea_popescu which atm we do not know.
13:00 asciilifeform it is possible that it does not exist
13:00 mircea_popescu but if it does exist, then yes, it will necessarily be found eventually.
13:00 asciilifeform better example - pluto
13:00 asciilifeform we know where it sits
13:01 asciilifeform come, get.
13:01 mircea_popescu get what ?
13:01 asciilifeform a piece of pluto.
13:01 mircea_popescu so you are saying mining pluto is an impossibility.
13:01 mircea_popescu and why not ceres ? she's just as big!
13:01 mircea_popescu nobody ever thinks of ceres.
13:01 asciilifeform not impossible, but not strictly a matter of 'wanting to' either
13:02 mircea_popescu orly ?
13:02 mircea_popescu and if it were the case the commercial value of piece of pluto ten times exceeded the commercial cost of sending miner ?
13:02 mircea_popescu it'd be mined next week.
13:02 mircea_popescu so no, we currently do not wish to, is all.
13:03 asciilifeform this is logical, but for some reason this scenario did not play out re: bitcoin asics
13:03 asciilifeform why?
13:03 mircea_popescu how do you mean ?
13:03 asciilifeform (afaik, there are still no true asics!)
13:03 mircea_popescu too low margins
13:03 mircea_popescu do the math, sometime. a miner earns 0.2% or some shit.
13:03 asciilifeform partly this is on account of using 'hardcopy fpga'
13:03 mircea_popescu currently foundries are working on .9%
13:03 asciilifeform which is 100% of what is presently sold as 'btcasic'
13:04 mircea_popescu yeah
13:04 mircea_popescu of course, sold != deployed, but the error isn't great.
13:04 asciilifeform partly this is on account of the derpitude of keeping them all in a warehouse, rather than having chumps pay for power
13:04 asciilifeform (as discussed in 2013 here)
13:04 mircea_popescu they are kept in warehouse for same reasdon you want untouched pogo
13:04 asciilifeform but that 0.2% is made of a long list of bad decisions
13:04 mircea_popescu people have this fixed idea that getting others involved is the worst play.
13:05 mircea_popescu it isn't the worst play, but hard to get the notion through.
13:05 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes. chief among them, a poor handling of cooperation.
13:05 asciilifeform aha
13:05 asciilifeform think of what just one backroom cocksucking deal with a major microcontroller maker to include hidden miner would have been worth.
13:06 mircea_popescu ~nothing much
13:06 asciilifeform what's the logic here?
13:06 mircea_popescu hard to explain, but i will give the anecdotic.
13:06 mircea_popescu i am not unaware of this possibility, yet i apparently discounted it, preferring a divergent approach. maybe i'm just that dumb.
13:07 asciilifeform (that the hidden boojum would not stay hidden, is a no-brainer. idea would be to exploit the first-mover advantage, naturally)
13:07 mircea_popescu shitty thing to build a life of.
13:07 mircea_popescu you want last-mover advantage. if you can get it.
13:07 asciilifeform life of miner is a life of a soldier, disposable, as mircea_popescu reminded us last night
13:07 mircea_popescu what else has first mover advantage ? making a bitcoin foundation ?
13:07 mircea_popescu they lost.
13:07 asciilifeform l0l
13:08 asciilifeform there is a whole array of strange things that miner builders do, which puzzle me greatly
13:08 mircea_popescu o, wait, that schmucky chick. what was it, chamber of buttsex ?
13:08 asciilifeform i'll name just one (because i am not in the business of handing out free advice to derpatronicists) -
13:08 asciilifeform why the fuck does 'as much has as possible' have to be packed in one die ?
13:09 asciilifeform creates the heat nightmare
13:09 mircea_popescu !up cosmo
13:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform they're just going through the motions. they don't really know what they're doing, nobodyu sat dowqn and thought things through.
13:09 asciilifeform and it isn't like ten dies would take up unpalatable floor space
13:09 asciilifeform mircea_popescu has it
13:09 mircea_popescu the packing thing is a result of the consumer electronics market
13:09 mircea_popescu they don't understand that if you sell for yourself, and not to put in a desktop, you have diff engineering constraints
13:10 asciilifeform so what i'm saying is, pluto is sitting there, made of priceless unobtainium, and schmucks are schmucking around
13:10 mircea_popescu actually more floor space = better for a short interval at the place they're now.
13:11 mircea_popescu asciilifeform and at some point, america teemed with fucktarded savages and nobody came to kill the males and rape the females.
13:11 mircea_popescu sure, nobody did.
13:11 mircea_popescu for... a little bit.
13:11 mircea_popescu and ... nobody will ever again.
13:11 mircea_popescu for... hm. for EVER AND EVER THIS TIME!!11
13:11 asciilifeform 8k years was 'a little bit' ?
13:11 asciilifeform i suppose - geologically...
13:12 mircea_popescu iirc the vikings did a little recuntissance
13:12 asciilifeform recuntissance by fire (tm)
13:15 asciilifeform back to the miners, i say that if money were the handy iq test mircea_popescu suggests it is, this kind of situation would be quite impossible.
13:15 mircea_popescu funkenstein_ << that's basically the ideology of butthurt.
13:15 mircea_popescu it is drastically unwise to imagine a certificate of intelligence as a sort of consolation prize.
13:15 funkenstein_ the point at which Americas so teemed began in 1600 or so
13:16 mircea_popescu that's what late empire matrons tell their effette offspring that just lost at the races to the hearty barbarians : "don
13:16 mircea_popescu 't woprry honey, they're stupid"
13:16 mircea_popescu they're not so stupid, and the measure of their superior intelligence is to be found in the joyous cries of the noble roman's girlfriend.
13:16 funkenstein_ it's not a question of "don't worry" .. actually, we should be worried
13:17 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no. improbable, which all reality ever is.
13:17 mircea_popescu not impossible, nor long of this world.
13:17 asciilifeform there very much ~is~ such a thing as 'stupid and effective'
13:17 asciilifeform such as the bacteria that eventually eat everybody's girlfriend
13:17 mircea_popescu like how would that be ?
13:17 asciilifeform (along with anyone else)
13:17 mircea_popescu is gcd stupid but effective ?
13:17 funkenstein_ the reason wealth is often correlated with dumb is probably similar to why gps ownership is correlated with poor navigation skills
13:17 mircea_popescu funkenstein_ such as in sattelites and missiles ?
13:17 mircea_popescu glwt.
13:18 mircea_popescu i propose that gcd is one of the few smart things we know.
13:18 mircea_popescu it is smart enough to be the END of a class.
13:18 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: didja know that paul erdos had a story about these ?
13:18 asciilifeform this class.
13:18 mircea_popescu nope
13:19 asciilifeform he liked to say that god had a book, containing the best possible proof of each theorem
13:19 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9200 @ 0.00054405 = 5.0053 BTC [-]
13:19 asciilifeform highest compliment paul e. could give a colleague was to say 'this is from The Book'
13:19 mircea_popescu ahaha not bad.
13:19 asciilifeform hence 'end of a class'
13:19 mircea_popescu makes sense, dunnit ? even without being jewish.
13:19 asciilifeform it is actually a very rare thing
13:19 asciilifeform (being able to prove that you can't do better runtime than particular algo, say)
13:20 asciilifeform however, there are still interesting boojums:
13:20 funkenstein_ see e.g. the god algorithm for cube solving
13:21 asciilifeform romans could very well have 'proved' that their arithmetic is 'optimal'
13:21 asciilifeform while being entirely wrong by our lights
13:21 mircea_popescu even gods bite it eventually.
13:21 asciilifeform because 'notation is worth 80 iq'
13:21 asciilifeform ^
13:21 mircea_popescu kinda why i do not actually regret golden antiquity.
13:21 mircea_popescu had a good run, but it did run its course.
13:22 mircea_popescu and so it came to pass zeus eventually ran out of book.
13:22 asciilifeform everybody eventually runs out of book.
13:23 mircea_popescu for my curiosity, how'd such a roman proof look like ?
13:23 mircea_popescu i don't readily see it.
13:24 mircea_popescu (but this is perhaps the most obscure field of all scholarship - constructive cultural antrhopology, which is to say : construct FUTURE development of science on the basis and with the methods available in X context.
13:24 mircea_popescu a superlative form of hermeneutics if you wish. certainly decent training exercise for the more advanced students.
13:25 asciilifeform this is normally where 'alt history' storytellers fail, yes
13:25 mircea_popescu ayup
13:25 asciilifeform 'show me nazi internet' (mr mold)
13:25 mircea_popescu even the most cursory effort to consider the matter sunks people like orlov.
13:25 mircea_popescu it should be standard class in disinfo ministry, but hey. they're also saving these days.
13:26 asciilifeform sometimes the 'construct future with past' thing gets taken up and run ragged, though. as in the case of 'square the circle with ruler and compass' problem that drove folks batshit until 19th c even.
13:26 mircea_popescu aha.
13:27 asciilifeform and there are still legions of crackpots trying to prove ftl with what they studied in school.
13:27 mircea_popescu where is that discussion with cads
13:27 asciilifeform a maths prof informed me that until recently, it was customary to answer their letters. but not any more.

13:48 asciilifeform ~88 cent
13:48 asciilifeform (plus battery)
13:52 asciilifeform what i wonder is where these are typically used.
13:53 asciilifeform they are produced, and apparently sold, in vast quantities.
13:53 asciilifeform clearly ~somebody~ isn't eager to use ntp for everything.
13:54 asciilifeform where do these little modules go? toasters? time bombs in afghan ?
13:58 decimation asciilifeform: yeah DS3231 is the older version of the same chip that doesn't have any onboard sram
13:58 decimation would work fine
13:58 decimation I think the 3231 is end of life, probably trying to ditch stock
13:58 decimation asciilifeform: I think at least one use is utility meters
13:59 decimation any case where you have a cheap sensor that you 'launch'
13:59 asciilifeform sram could be useful, to keep 'last seeds' in or whatnot. but entirely luxury.
14:00 decimation aye
14:00 decimation oh they also use them in gps receivers

14:31 trinque ag3nt_zer0: eh them recalling the days of murdering people... it seemed rather natural
14:31 trinque having them reenact the events was a little strange, but what I was struck with was the matter-of-fact attitude they had towards the events, mostly
14:31 funkenstein_ wait violence and killing in movies? what a novel idea
14:32 trinque I figure I live a pretty padded life not knowing what that's like
14:32 ag3nt_zer0 trinque: yeah, natural in a way... but the vibrant colors, the recreations, them watching the takes and commenting... the translations... fucking crazy
14:33 mircea_popescu "The government chose not to enact coercive measures, however, stating that the regulation of the online activities of children was up to parents, not the government. " << most important thing about minitel.

14:35 trinque I'm trying to recall the name
14:35 mike_c Sorry for part spam.. different client/computer than usual.
14:35 trinque had 'nam vets and such talking about how they couldn't come back from war mentally because they liked war so much
14:35 trinque wasn't the majority of them, but some felt that way
14:35 asciilifeform danielpbarron: added mine, for what it's worth
14:36 trinque the idea of a "warrior" seems foreign these days, I guess
14:36 mircea_popescu mike_c how you doin' these days
14:37 mike_c Who knows. I try not to think about it.
14:37 mircea_popescu o.O
14:37 mike_c way too busy!
14:37 trinque heh, I know that feeling
14:37 mircea_popescu sounds like you reached the age of cazalla
14:37 mike_c got a couple of good blog posts coming up though that are half way done.
14:38 mircea_popescu but experimentally, it seems to be a transient phase
14:38 asciilifeform mike_c: good busy or bad busy
14:38 mike_c bad busy. Time is sucked away on things that aren't worth it.
14:38 mircea_popescu sucks.
14:38 * asciilifeform is ^ much of the time
14:40 ag3nt_zer0 trinque: yeah I suppose... unless you have to sit through a multiculturalism focused education program in humboldt county run by marxism-hypnotized dykes... then noticing fruits of their labor in Silly Valley public ed... then start thinking warrior again
14:40 ag3nt_zer0 haha it isnt even just under the surface
14:41 mircea_popescu so argue them into the dirt.
14:41 ag3nt_zer0 yeah working on it
14:41 mircea_popescu fwif i'm a multiculturalism fan.
14:42 ag3nt_zer0 why?
14:42 mircea_popescu cuz i'm from central europe ?
14:42 ag3nt_zer0 haha
14:42 asciilifeform usa does nulliculturalism
14:42 asciilifeform not multi
14:42 mircea_popescu just because they sell shit under imported names in the us doesn't mean the originals are bad
14:42 mircea_popescu it just means the us destroys everything it touches

14:43 ag3nt_zer0 I am a fan of apple because I live in silly valley

14:45 asciilifeform why does b-a search have to not be grep ?
14:45 mircea_popescu ag3nt_zer0 let's put it this way : you couldn't as a middle class woman marry some douche who didn't speak multiple languages. because your parents wouldn't let you.
14:45 mircea_popescu because that meant he is stupid.
14:46 asciilifeform sorta like illiteracy today
14:46 mircea_popescu quite like.
14:46 asciilifeform or iprogrammacy tomorrow
14:46 mircea_popescu doubt that.
14:46 * asciilifeform also doubts
14:46 mircea_popescu but hopes ? lol
14:46 asciilifeform but there once was this notion.
14:46 trinque along those lines, I only just found naggum's hyperspec.el
14:47 trinque let it be known that I resent having had to search the landfill for this shit
14:47 ag3nt_zer0 I mean maybe we aren't speaking of the same thing... here, in US, multiculti is synonymous with "tolerance" and "diversity" and cultural relativism.... which translates to, in many cases, classrooms full of unruly mexican children claiming racism if you say that 2+2=4
14:47 asciilifeform trinque: i've spent years trying to pull naggum, uncle al schwartz, et al out of the landfill
14:47 asciilifeform trinque: it is one of those things that has to be done.
14:48 asciilifeform like the excavation of aristotle in the old days
14:48 mircea_popescu and i bet you they told you all you needed to hear about gravity wells and whatnot.
14:48 ag3nt_zer0 meanwhile, any good student, mexican, white, asian, whatever, is completely fucked and her education is retarded even more than it would be normally, just by virtue of the PE system... but this shit makes it so much worse

14:58 trinque whereas the problem you describe is one of *you* not being in charge

15:00 ag3nt_zer0 and also "we use a program called "positive discipline"....
15:00 trinque lol!

18:34 asciilifeform wtf did that ~other~ list come from
18:34 danielpbarron idk if anyone else had tried this already, but I sent some bitcoin to an address created by 0.5.3.1-beta on my pogo, and I think I have successfully sent it all back out but bc.i doesn't want to admit my transaction exists yet
18:34 asciilifeform it made me want to throw up
18:35 asciilifeform danielpbarron: when carrying out this experiment, please remember that pogo HAS NO RNG
18:35 kakobrekla yet
18:35 danielpbarron i sent in 0.001 and sent out 0.0005 with a 0.0005 fee

18:37 danielpbarron also, BingoBoingo's proposed change to 0.001 of the minrelayfee is very handy for keeping pogo synced
18:38 asciilifeform ^^ i dare to suggest that the patch be considered by therealbitcoin ^^
18:38 trinque this python-gnupg is a motherfucking piece of shit
18:38 danielpbarron was formerly a dozen or so blocks behind, after restart with new setting, almost fully synced in half an hour
18:38 asciilifeform sure is!
18:38 danielpbarron no patch necessary; it's a config option
18:41 trinque like... I'm just going to shell out to the gpg binary
18:41 trinque ENOUGH.
18:43 asciilifeform trinque: know that gpg was built just like this.
18:43 asciilifeform like gcc was
18:43 asciilifeform doesn't 'libraryize' at all - by design.
18:44 asciilifeform i imagine this was done for similar reasons as for gcc.

20:10 whaack I'm working on installing the eulora client on mac, and I have two questions
20:13 whaack (1) When you unzip the tar you get a directory with Eulora, data-cs, and a readme. Do you want people installing the game to remove the data-cs and readme and rename the "Eulora" directory to eulora-src?
20:14 whaack If not, it seems that every instruction on the wiki should be .../eulora-src/Eulora/... instead of /eulora-src/
20:15 whaack (2) The last instruction says to run ./configure inside of eulora-src, but there is no configure file

20:42 mircea_popescu usually how these things go
20:43 mircea_popescu you want an acct too ?
20:44 williamdunne mircea_popescu: Well, IIRC it wasn't flash directly, but for some retarded reason they thought it'd be a good idea to reverse engineer the flash format so you'd do some coding and the design in adobe flash
20:45 williamdunne So the process was create frames in Photoshop, import to flash, add some actioncrap, and then export to scaleform

22:13 asciilifeform mod6: who are you peered with ?
22:13 mod6 mp
22:14 asciilifeform he's wedged iirc !
22:14 asciilifeform stop peering with him until he unwedges
22:14 asciilifeform betcha his clock is off too.
22:14 mod6 ok, i had thought that I read somewhere that he said he was gonna let it be until he could examine the fork closer. I never could find it in the log though. Thought maybe I imagined it.
22:15 asciilifeform he did
22:15 asciilifeform and apparently letting it be didn't unwedge it
22:15 mod6 ah.
22:15 asciilifeform dollars to doughnuts his clock is off.
22:15 asciilifeform like mine was.
22:16 mod6 mine was 25 seconds behind or something.
22:16 asciilifeform that's not enough to wedge
22:17 mod6 hrm. maybe im misinterpreted the output
22:18 mod6 anyway, it might not be a bad time for me to stop it now anyway, and break off to try some other things. I wanna test build stator on gentoo.
22:19 asciilifeform its natural habitat!
22:19 asciilifeform test, test.
22:19 mod6 I see that nubs' gentoo sanity patch isn't applied, wanna get some testing in there. I'm putting a guide together so someone can patch by hand if they like.
22:19 asciilifeform i never needed that one
22:19 asciilifeform to run on my gentoos
22:19 asciilifeform so i never applied it

22:23 assbot Logged on 11-06-2015 02:57:07; mod6: no, those where in there from the beginning. i ended up adding ``#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS'' with ``#include <stdint.h>'' to net.cpp, util.cpp and wallet.cpp and then is ok.
22:23 asciilifeform i thought nobody got anywhere with uclibc ... ?
22:24 mod6 well, no, never did link for me properly
22:24 asciilifeform anyone try musl yet ?
22:24 mod6 but these problems arose during compiliation. and once the above was applied, was seemingly resolved.

22:26 williamdunne asciilifeform: Wonder how many times it was used
22:27 williamdunne Looks like that feature was created at the request of the Italian gov mabbeh
22:27 mod6 williamdunne: did you get setup in euloraland?
22:27 williamdunne mod6: Ish, I did all the beginner stuff, and then died
22:27 mircea_popescu mined anything ?
22:28 williamdunne mircea_popescu: No, dieded. Then had some marketing work I figured I ought to be doing
22:28 williamdunne To be continued
22:29 mircea_popescu mod6 it won't go past that for a while.

22:30 mircea_popescu hm
22:30 asciilifeform make sure to compare epoch clock
22:30 asciilifeform not calendar

22:30 mod6 hi mircea_popescu! ok thanks. ima shut it down for now. although, im gonna sync against it with obsd here in the next few days.. different env.

22:33 asciilifeform hm matches mine within a few s
22:33 mod6 yea
22:33 asciilifeform and still at original wedgepoint ?
22:33 mircea_popescu well yes.
22:33 asciilifeform peer count ?
22:35 mircea_popescu netstat -ao | grep "8333" | wc -l
22:35 mircea_popescu 55
22:35 asciilifeform does mircea_popescucoind keep logs ?
22:35 mircea_popescu sure.
22:35 asciilifeform anything re: rejected blocks in those
22:36 mircea_popescu nah just spam txn rejected.
22:37 asciilifeform that'd be most peculiar
22:37 asciilifeform it would mean, if there is nothing peculiarly tight-lipped about mircea_popescucoind's logging mechanism, that no one has so much as tried throwing the recent blocks at it
22:38 mircea_popescu asciilifeform so was the xemist guy nobody voiced actually al ?
22:38 asciilifeform waitasec
22:38 asciilifeform when was that
22:38 asciilifeform fuck
22:38 mircea_popescu heh. paymoar attention
22:39 * asciilifeform scrolls
22:39 * asciilifeform was... elsewhere
22:39 mircea_popescu anyway, i shall be off playin
22:39 mircea_popescu laters!
22:39 asciilifeform come back, Xemist
22:39 asciilifeform damn.
22:40 * asciilifeform sent him a mail with link to this logtime..
22:40 mod6 <+mircea_popescu> !up Xemist
22:41 mod6 he came here, was here for 5 minutes, was up'd while here, never said anything.
22:41 asciilifeform hm
22:41 mod6 <+mircea_popescu> Xemist you wouldn't be al would you ?
22:41 mod6 no response to that either.
22:42 asciilifeform mod6: netsplit ??
22:42 asciilifeform i don't see this up
22:42 asciilifeform or the convo
22:42 asciilifeform OR he got ddosed
22:42 mod6 lemme check for split, and i'll paste the log.
22:42 asciilifeform which is still a thing
22:43 asciilifeform ;;later tell mircea_popescu when do we get the ddoser's head on a stick?
22:43 gribble The operation succeeded.
22:44 mod6 i don't see any splits in my log, but here's the log from b-a: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-07-2015#1195623
22:44 assbot Logged on 09-07-2015 21:25:25; mircea_popescu: !up Xemist
22:44 asciilifeform it isn't in my log!
22:44 asciilifeform or in log.bitcoin-assets.com !
22:44 asciilifeform go, see
22:44 mod6 i can paste mine if that helps, but connect/disconnect msgs included
22:44 asciilifeform i believe
22:45 asciilifeform but ipso facto netsplit
22:45 mod6 check the log link I just posted above.

22:46 asciilifeform mod6: apologies, i had the 10-7 page up
22:46 asciilifeform yes, it's in there.
22:46 asciilifeform gonna guess he got ddosed.
22:46 mod6 ah, ok. he came in from webchat, looks like to me.
22:46 asciilifeform aha, iirc danielpbarron invited him to.
22:47 mod6 ah
22:47 asciilifeform !up Vexual
22:53 asciilifeform for completeness, i will also mention the possibility that we (or what al can see of us in his light-cone) didn't pass his bozo filter.

22:54 BingoBoingo ^ recipe for adding flag to stator
22:55 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: methinks you left something out ?
22:55 asciilifeform grep -i nMinRelayTxFee * | wc -l
22:55 asciilifeform 0
22:56 BingoBoingo Ah, wrong version
22:57 asciilifeform what version was the patch for ?
22:58 BingoBoingo stator. I mean wrong version of the revision, lemme pull up init.cpp and fix this
22:58 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: no reason to hurry
22:58 mod6 true. and perhaps use unified diff
22:58 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i normally post patches after i read five times or so, and test them (to the point where 150,000+ blocks are pulled)
22:58 BingoBoingo no idea what unified diff means
22:59 BingoBoingo By yes, playing with this one first.
22:59 asciilifeform there's a handy page on therealbitcoin.org
22:59 asciilifeform http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2014-December/000022.html
22:59 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1dPtbjZ )
22:59 mod6 asciilifeform is quicker on the draw than me tonight.
22:59 asciilifeform congrats to BingoBoingo though, for taking the gloves off and going at the patch game
22:59 mod6 i just had that in hand.
22:59 mod6 yeah, thasnks BingoBoingo
23:00 mod6 anyway, that link is a bit old as it describes the directories as: bitcoin-bitcoin-a8def6b
23:00 mod6 but you'll get the general idea.
23:01 mod6 ask in here if you get stuck, but again, no rush.
23:02 BingoBoingo Actual changes http://dpaste.com/1Y0MG37 will look at actually submitting after more reading and testing and learning process
23:02 assbot dpaste: 1Y0MG37 ... ( http://bit.ly/1dPthIi )
23:03 BingoBoingo Surprised how little change this seems to take vs. 0.9 Bitcoin CORE implementation of flag
23:04 asciilifeform wai didja just return printf("... ?
23:05 BingoBoingo I know nothing better to do
23:06 asciilifeform a few other nitpicks. the all-caps convention in bitcoind refers to constants
23:07 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: printf happens to return 1 (true) if it succeeded in printf-ing
23:08 asciilifeform so you'd want to printf and then return false
23:08 asciilifeform this is not seriously important in this case, but it follows 'unix philosophy' in the sense that a proggy returning false lets you use its failure as part of a shell script
23:09 asciilifeform that's pretty much it.
23:11 asciilifeform not a bad start BingoBoingo
23:11 asciilifeform this patch is gonna be a first-class bitch to actually test though..
23:11 asciilifeform really gotta write a proper node monitor
23:12 asciilifeform (tx incoming, tx relayed, blocks...)
23:12 asciilifeform ('incoming' in the network may-or-may-not-relay sense, rather than coins sense)
23:13 asciilifeform oughta be able to watch the 'vital signs' of a node, if one wishes
23:13 asciilifeform see forks with own eyes, pop open a block and scroll the tx, etc.
23:13 asciilifeform anybody here likes programming for x11 ?
23:13 * asciilifeform listens to the sound of silence
23:14 asciilifeform ~another~ interesting scientific instrument would be a fly trap for invalid tx
23:14 asciilifeform which would collect, in a zoo
23:15 asciilifeform who is sending what kind of retarded tx, and why?
23:15 asciilifeform how often - bad sig
23:15 asciilifeform and how often is the latter a plausible result of bitrot
23:15 asciilifeform how often is bad tx resulting from the use of some peculiar 'hearnia' ? (on my node - apparently, quite often)
23:16 BingoBoingo So ever so slightly less shitty revision? http://dpaste.com/0SBAYB4
23:16 assbot dpaste: 0SBAYB4 ... ( http://bit.ly/1HRlVQS )
23:16 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: the return never happens
23:16 mod6 <+asciilifeform> see forks with own eyes, pop open a block and scroll the tx, etc. << ncurses instead of x11?
23:16 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: c n00b mistake. need else { ... ... }
23:16 asciilifeform mod6: gonna be ugly
23:16 asciilifeform mod6: could try
23:17 asciilifeform i fucking hate ncurses-mouse proggies
23:17 * BingoBoingo ptolly needs to practice C
23:17 asciilifeform and not sure if there is a simple way to weasel out of using the rodent here
23:17 mod6 fair enough. i guess if it were me, it'd be great start to just dump the block txs to a file or STDOUT or something.
23:17 * asciilifeform not ui specialist
23:17 asciilifeform mod6: phf wrote a tx dumper
23:17 mod6 me either
23:18 mod6 really?
23:18 asciilifeform aha
23:18 asciilifeform see log
23:18 * mod6 looks

23:19 assbot Logged on 03-07-2015 17:50:03; phf: i was exploring block storage format, so i wrote some lisp code to read blocks out of .dat in sequence or directly from dumpblock'ed file http://paste.lisp.org/+38JG. i'm not sure where i'm going with it, so i'm leaving it here for interested parties.
23:19 BingoBoingo It's only been a decade since I touched C++ source with anything other than delete key
23:19 mod6 thx ascii
23:20 mod6 oh yeah, i remember now.
23:20 mod6 i know exactly jack & squat about lisp
23:21 mod6 i'll have to give this a try sometime.
23:24 mod6 well, i guess i kinda got my toe wet with Nock.
23:25 mod6 anyway, another thing for the list :]
23:38 decimation re: pci ocxo < yeah the ocxo is the metal case in the lower left
23:38 decimation and yeah that cesium standard is cheap - suspiciously so. cesium only lasts so long.
23:43 asciilifeform decimation: tube's good for ~decade
23:43 asciilifeform decimation: that can looks like a normal quartz resonator

23:47 trinque because his github picture is professionally shot
23:48 trinque yet he wore a hoodie

23:48 decimation nah ocxo often looks like a can
23:49 decimation but admittedly I can't say for sure, and they do have versions of the card with tcxo
23:49 asciilifeform http://www.eevblog.com/2012/01/14/eevblog-236-fe-5680a-rubidium-standard-teardown << interesting

23:50 decimation http://www.mti-milliren.com/ocxo_260_ocxo.html < this ocxo is as good as rubidium in terms of thermal stability
23:50 assbot MTI-Milliren Technologies, Inc. ... ( http://bit.ly/1L0yni0 )
23:50 decimation and quartz typically has better phase noise than rb
23:50 decimation but a new one will be >$500 in small qty
23:50 asciilifeform what's the point of rb then
23:51 decimation it does have slightly better aging
23:51 decimation but a new rb is like $2.5k
23:52 decimation note, these are well beyon pedestrian clocks, only for folks who 'need' less than miliseconds per year
23:52 * asciilifeform always thought that a 'proper' computer oughta include a bnc jack for rb or cesiumfountain on front panel
23:53 asciilifeform superceding the usual clock
23:53 asciilifeform (for cpu and rtc both)
23:53 decimation agreed
23:53 decimation it's rediculous that doesn't exist actually
23:53 decimation also the timing hardware available on typical x86 is usually shitty
23:55 decimation asciilifeform: the thing that's odd is that this kind of feature isn't 'avaiable for any price'
23:55 decimation at least on x86 servers
23:55 decimation surely the market is nonzero
23:55 asciilifeform on any machine i know o
23:55 asciilifeform f
23:56 asciilifeform ... except for my biggest fpga board
23:56 decimation I think I linked an sbc that folks modded for this
23:56 asciilifeform it's got goldplated coax 'in's for clocking
23:56 asciilifeform no less than 4 of'em
23:57 decimation yeah that's typical for fpgas
23:57 decimation because people use for actual hard timing specs
