12:05 mod6 asciilifeform: hey (i think I've asked this before) but; the blkcut utility doesn't allow a guy to exacto-knife one block out of a blkindex file does it?
12:05 asciilifeform to the -moon !
12:06 asciilifeform mod6: no, because it is an O(N) operation
12:06 asciilifeform thinkaboutit
12:07 asciilifeform but you can trivially add a feature that skips n blocks
12:07 mod6 well, im kinda trying to .. lol in a short cut way (without having to try to actually use it)
12:07 mod6 im got my hands full. am asking for thestringpuller who seems to be struggling
12:07 asciilifeform there's nothing else to do but looks at every block up to N and wind forward s bytes
12:08 mircea_popescu and in further lulz installments, http://trilema.com/2016/to-the-dao-and-the-ethereum-community-fuck-you/#comment-117593
12:08 asciilifeform mod6: easiest thing is just to set extract = 1 only when n = B, where B is the block you want.
12:10 mod6 ok. cool. yeah, was thinking it'd be cool if we could get his blockchain height, say 408,001 and then chop off the last say, 1000 blocks so he'd be starting at 407,001
12:10 mod6 maybe that'd fix his problem.
12:12 mod6 thestringpuller: anyway, i get that you're "pissed" as you said the other day. if this is production server, you need to have some sort of backups indeed imo. if this is development, well, it's all part of the fun.
12:13 shinohai \o/ yay for fun
12:13 thestringpuller mod6: np. i just nuked and paved
12:13 thestringpuller so i'll jus tstart synching from ascii's node then i'll swap out for SSD once it picks up
12:13 thestringpuller then we go from there
12:13 thestringpuller i don't think anything was wrong with that build just power outage corruption.
12:13 thestringpuller no biggie
12:14 mircea_popescu aaaand 9.96
12:14 mod6 i think others have had problems with the same exact thing. power goes out -> bad things may happen.
12:15 mod6 i may try to find some time yet this weekend to take a look at this blkcut thing -- this may be away to roll life saving numbers on your block chain after a power outage in the future.
12:15 shinohai I can usually sync from backup, chop last blkxxx.dat and catch right back up pretty quick
12:15 thestringpuller damn. i should have tried that
12:15 thestringpuller never again. we pay for our lessons.
12:15 mod6 s/in the future/after adding a feature/
12:16 mod6 shinohai has it.
12:16 mod6 you could just ditch the entire latest one (numerically)
12:17 mod6 but it'd be a much better tool to just produce a new file with all blocks in the original previous to block n.
12:17 mod6 so if your block index goes from 385,000 to 408,000, you could tell it "407,000" and then the output would contain everything from 385,000 to 407,000
12:17 mod6 something like that. does this make sense?
12:17 thestringpuller yea
12:18 mod6 asciilifeform?
12:18 thestringpuller good advice for the future.
12:18 thestringpuller thx shinohai mod6
12:18 mod6 sorry i've been afk much of the week. have been pulling super long days shit-shoveling.
12:19 mod6 was so glad to finally be done, as of 5 minutes ago. but now, have to go clean gutters :/
12:19 mod6 i'll be back around later. best of luck thestringpuller
12:20 thestringpuller np. it's a matter of time
12:22 asciilifeform mod6: was eating food, back
12:23 mod6 asciilifeform: ok. im thinking about a new feature for your tool, or perhaps, a new tool altogether.
12:23 mod6 was wondering if it makes some sense to do that.
12:23 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-18#1484545 << pretty sure it is the ~index~ that gets hosed, not the blocks
12:23 a111 Logged on 2016-06-18 16:15 mod6: i may try to find some time yet this weekend to take a look at this blkcut thing -- this may be away to roll life saving numbers on your block chain after a power outage in the future.
12:23 mircea_popescu mod6 dun worry eh, teh republic's eternal.
12:23 mircea_popescu asciilifeform has it though. bdb keeps a rather dubious index structure.
12:24 mod6 ah, right.
12:24 mod6 hmm.
12:24 mod6 this is almost worth me like creating a development environment where I can take a copy of chain and just do some playing around on there. even with a broken chain.
12:25 mod6 maybe there is something that can be written to heal the index.
12:25 mod6 bdb is such a pile of crap.
12:26 mats more advice for the future: buy a ups.
12:26 mod6 i'll think on this a bit while scraping biological gunk out of metal things.
12:26 mod6 mats: werd
12:26 asciilifeform mats: this doesn't solve the problem in a guaranteed way, as the thing has been known to crash

13:46 mircea_popescu you're welcome, now drop your xkcd or 9gag or whatever an' move on.
13:46 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the advantage of crypto - it allows one to make absolute statements, but people dunno how to use it, so it at least gives them something to talk about.
13:47 asciilifeform like mains current in 1880
13:47 mircea_popescu the only thing worse than having something to talk about being not having something to talk about.
13:47 asciilifeform drunks could grab hold of the wire and become phamous
13:47 asciilifeform as they sizzled, sizzled.
13:48 asciilifeform the parallels are astonishingly close and i've thought about writing whole monograph about it
13:48 asciilifeform (roughly in the vein of paragraph1 of http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1108 )
13:49 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it is rather notable though that the largest threat perceived by muppets and their drivers alike is "mp doing things". far, FAR above you know, their shitpile collapsing in a loud mess, the ONE thing that's worth expending the unhappeningium is, mp!
13:51 asciilifeform usg muppets are somewhat like roaches, except peculiarly intelligent ones which ~know about ddt~
13:51 mircea_popescu slutty wife prays "god, let me be pregnant or not, but in either case please don't let my husband figure out HOW". socialist prays "god, let the etherape happen or not, but in either case please don't let THE BAD GUY have done things!"
13:51 asciilifeform the ur-threat to muppet is the man of will
13:51 asciilifeform so naturally that's where all of the squid ink must be directed.
13:52 mircea_popescu pretty lulzy though. i certainly had a nice saturday morning
13:54 mircea_popescu and when i finally croak ima go to saint peter an' say loudly an' clearly "what are you droning on about, old man, i didn't do nuttin'. ASK ANYONE!"

15:04 mircea_popescu oh i mean, rightdao
15:04 Framedragger mircea_popescu: btw just fyi that sig on that pastebin post is probably all wrong, https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4oo1io/an_open_letter_from_the_hacker/d4e7efq - just sayin
15:04 Framedragger heheh.
15:04 Framedragger not that it matters, to a point

15:04 a111 Logged on 2016-06-18 17:21 mircea_popescu: how did you check ?
15:05 Framedragger ooh imma read upthread, didn't see that bit
15:07 Framedragger oh wow everything's even more lulsy. awesome.
15:08 asciilifeform also wtf, buterin hired some imbecile to write the dao thing?!
15:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform lulz of all time : the thing you linked links to qntra via a NOT CLICKABLE reference to https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2s2utx/the_hard_fork_missile_crisis/cnlqcd
15:09 asciilifeform l0l!!
15:09 mircea_popescu must suck to want to matter THIS BADLY and yet not be able to
15:09 Framedragger asciilifeform: and apparently this particular "such recursion" flaw had already been spotted in a 2015 securiti audit? https://github.com/LeastAuthority/ethereum-analyses/blob/master/GasEcon.md#callstack-depth-limit-errors
15:11 Framedragger "Someone could trick an autonomous agent into calling get_free_money() at the end of a very long call stack, such that thesend fails, and the agent would lose its money to this contract." etc
15:11 asciilifeform i confess to never having given enough of a fuck re the eth circus to keep track in real time. but fortunately ~somebody~ did...
15:11 mircea_popescu fortunately.
15:11 Framedragger same, honestly, this has been uncovered only now, but, like, wtf, it's right there in a security audit, wtf
15:11 Framedragger you know, not even that obscure
15:12 mircea_popescu really, the claim is that buterin and the MIT are mongoloids.
15:12 asciilifeform i guess everybody else went 'not worth a bullet'
15:12 mircea_popescu not that o noes, this was such a great skillfully involved etc "hack"
15:13 Framedragger i just find it amusing in general, yeah pointing out not as a contra, but, just, for the lulz
15:13 shinohai Is this daoattacker fr ... BA ?
15:14 Framedragger shinohai: runaway side effect of turing complete contracts. some a.i. leakage unavoidable.
15:14 shinohai >.>
15:15 Framedragger wow im not gonna read all of it but https://github.com/LeastAuthority/ethereum-analyses/blob/master/GasEcon.md is amusing, ethereum is sorta shite on the purely technical level, too

15:18 shinohai ^ lo
15:19 asciilifeform duplicate
15:20 shinohai Interesting that so many "news sources" shat out same interview all at once.
15:25 mircea_popescu Framedragger so it is.
15:25 mircea_popescu shinohai this is ~the result of google existing, basically.
15:27 shinohai ctrl+v

16:29 mod6 anyone else ever used this?
16:29 mod6 or looked at it?
16:33 shinohai I used it one time a long time ago, it has to go through the WHOLE chain first
16:33 mod6 yeah, looks like it. thought maybe i'd learn a thing or two by reading this code.
16:39 mod6 "As of this writing, it needs a log of RAM to work, typically upwards of 25Gigs." :D
16:40 mod6 but like i said, something to be learned from this maybe
16:40 shinohai shouldn't this be possible to an extent with dumpblock ?
16:41 mod6 im on the same thought track - yeah.
16:45 shinohai I'll start poking it with stick.
16:52 mod6 no need really.
16:52 mod6 just thinking about this stuff... food for thought
16:55 mircea_popescu sooo... apple "withholds" "tech aid" from trump campaign. best fucking thing that ever happened to those people, not being bogged down by macs & shit.

19:19 mircea_popescu that schmuck's still around even ?
19:20 thestringpuller yup
19:20 thestringpuller he even had a dao proposal
19:20 mircea_popescu derp is something else. his "speaking skills" ? "expertise" ?
19:21 mircea_popescu does it take some sort of skill and expertise to be loudly wrong about everything you say and collect a whole trophycase of "that one time i was so ridiculous people laughed at me for a week" ?
19:21 mircea_popescu amusingly, even twitter's tearing him a new one. lol. mmmmkay. EXPERTISE!
19:23 asciilifeform betcha he collects payola.
19:25 mircea_popescu well of course, he exists because the asshole behind ers&co's "we'll get UBER RICH by backstabbing rms", the one with the shoddy "guide" textbook publishing scam, promoted him way back when.
19:25 mircea_popescu kinda the strategy of that mini usg, "find pliable idiots in all fields, promote them, get payola when/if nsa needs some planting done"
19:26 asciilifeform it is of course possible that he works, but i can't picture this.
19:28 mircea_popescu there was a pretty decent monograph on how the early days of "open source" vs "free software" played out, with the wanna-be derp front and center, i think linked in the logs.
19:28 mircea_popescu dja happen to recall it ?
19:28 asciilifeform esr?
19:28 mircea_popescu nah nah. the books guy

19:33 mircea_popescu http://www.thebaffler.com/articles/the-meme-hustler << monograph in question
19:33 asciilifeform i always thought that oreilley - the dead tree thing - were purely opportunistic
19:33 mircea_popescu asciilifeform absolutely, yeah.
19:34 mircea_popescu sort-of like any weed, trying to go in empty land
19:35 asciilifeform not that the man isn't a snake
19:35 mircea_popescu right.
19:36 asciilifeform but he printed andreas because 1,000,001 chumps were ready to buy, not because prb necessarily.
19:36 mircea_popescu which is the story here. derpopo's o'reilly's point man in "cryptoblockchainaltechnologies" after being kicked the fuck out of bitcoin.
19:36 mircea_popescu (nobody could have predicted&it never happened etc)
19:37 mircea_popescu he printed for the same reason vc generally prints : "gotta have finger in all pies you never know which you want later".
19:37 mircea_popescu 0 to do with demand, which a) doesn't exist and b) is ALWAYS marketing driven anywa.
19:37 mircea_popescu or what, you think anyone WANTED to read the fucking harry potter nonsense ?
19:38 asciilifeform nfi, i never did...
19:39 asciilifeform i'd rather read us state dept memis from 1940s.

20:03 mircea_popescu asciilifeform mostly, yeah/
20:06 mircea_popescu personally i'm much more invested in beheading the schmuck over the "web 2.0" bullshit than whatever foss drama.
20:06 mircea_popescu someone somewhere absolutely has to hang for "web 2.0"
20:08 asciilifeform netscape / jwz.
20:08 mircea_popescu no, as a general rule drones hang for what they are, queens hang for what they did. there's really little other than "he's jwz" needed to hang jwz.

20:17 asciilifeform (largely propagated by naturally-occurring idiots, but usg wins from their existence and sometimes throws a bone, ensuring that their voice will be loud and clear in any nominally 'deviant' forum)
20:18 asciilifeform sorta how 'aliens did it' folk unfailingly appear in all '9-11 truth' discussions.
20:18 mircea_popescu depends where.
20:18 mircea_popescu not all venues are created equal.
20:18 asciilifeform anywhere public / wotless.
20:19 mircea_popescu well sure.
20:19 mircea_popescu and the "call X for cocksucking" notices unfailingly appear in all public restrooms
20:19 mircea_popescu (except in fucking argentina, these people are too mentally slow to even that.)
20:22 asciilifeform an interesting exercise, for patient folks, is to follow the usg tendrils backwards in time, observing what subjects had been dealt with by seeding public forum with crank bait, long before 'blocksizs wars' etc.
20:22 asciilifeform fusion pops up as one such. there were many other subjs.

20:24 mircea_popescu aha.
20:25 mircea_popescu asciilifeform there is absolutely no "consensus" re early physics. there';s at least a dozen articulated theories, maybe broadly classifiable in 3-4 groups.
20:25 mircea_popescu the only conensus would be of esltards and junior high unionized teachers.
20:25 asciilifeform for ustards there is ALWAYS a 'consensus'.
20:25 asciilifeform aha!
20:25 mircea_popescu heh.

23:44 asciilifeform one key bit of insight is that 'self-licking ice cream cones' - which is to say, all 'mainstream science', as carried out by mandarins who leave their balls in a jar via the degree-wank-till-you're-45 method (vs the ancient and more humane sharp knife and rope one) all produce very much the same output.
23:45 asciilifeform which is to say, the tokamak folks are about as interested in desktop, $1000 fusion (of ~whatever temperatures~) as the maths dept at your uni is interested in elementary proof of fermat, or the software 'industry' - in 'fits in head', etc.
23:46 asciilifeform the one thing ~every~ idiocy is unerringly good at is recognizing direct threats to own perpetuation.
23:47 asciilifeform and yes, 'them crackpots are crayzeeeee' - for same reason as the folks shooting at usg are. because after 100 yrs of 'we control vertical and horizontal' only the nuts are left to resist.
23:49 asciilifeform wot is the one and only potential penicillin for this.
