00:00 phf that's what i'm thinking :)
00:00 mircea_popescu compressed version always page width, allowing thus to produce a proper as-wide-as-days-to-date item.
00:01 phf hmm, i'm not groking the whole compressed version thing
00:01 mircea_popescu let's specify.
00:03 mircea_popescu you decide on an image to be displayed on search page, specifically. "i want it 1024 x 168 pixels". you separately produce a png, as wide as day count, and as tall as daycount * 168 / 1024 rounded. you fill that png with the proper lines, proportionally (so highest count day gets full line, all other days get proportional line). then you scale it down to 1024 x 168. you publish this scaled down item on the search page, and yo
00:03 mircea_popescu u use it as an anchor to the full size item.
00:04 mircea_popescu can keep all of these in a world-accessible directory which is purged say weekly. or whatever, "once a week of all items older than a week" like the pastes.
00:04 phf ah word
00:05 mircea_popescu sorta like what you already do with line debit per day.
00:05 mircea_popescu but, honestly, you might ALSO make that full width and use the same approach for it.
00:05 mircea_popescu as opposed to the current what is it.
00:09 phf right now it's tracking proportional message count per hour, so perhaps message count per minute, but then it's a 1440 pixels width
00:09 phf hmm, actually i don't think per minute is any indicator of anything.
00:09 mircea_popescu you just decide on a pixel count based on your design, and then you split the 24 * 3600 day into that many units
00:09 mircea_popescu you'll basically get a smoother curve than what you have now
00:10 mircea_popescu hm, this isn't very workable in fact, your log page is not fixed width is it. just flows.
00:11 BingoBoingo In other graphics https://i.imgur.com/y4Src5L.png
00:12 mircea_popescu wut is this inept crap
00:15 phf so right now we have exactly 2048 days of log (though that number makes me suspect maybe my day counter is broken somehow)
00:16 mircea_popescu o.O
00:16 mircea_popescu this calls for like a celebration or something.

16:22 mircea_popescu pretty great new toy imo
16:24 phf so the bucket is made by running truncate against a certain divisor on the message timestamp in seconds. so playing with divisor gives me more/less coarse buckets
16:25 phf right now the bucket is basically 2 days (i.e. 2*24*60*60)
16:25 phf kind of affects the nature of data, but still preserves the general shape
16:27 phf i think the only worthwhile optimization left to do is roll the image generation into search.. because right now i'm doing double work, once for the search and once for the image.
16:27 phf (there can still be a linked separate endpoint that generates a standalone image, possibly at a lower coarseness, etc.)
16:30 phf the search, btw, cheats. it walks enough history to produce enough entries for current page+5 more pages, so searching for something like mircea_popescu is super fast, because you get 500 entries in less messages
16:32 phf that's the meaning of 500+, but it gets gradually expanded as you follow the pages, so the speed starts dropping. so the last page of mircea_popescu search (http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=mircea_popescu&page=512) takes 0.3s, which is maxint it takes to walk the whole history
16:33 phf the image generator though has to walk the whole history at once, requiring the same 0.3s at once

20:39 mircea_popescu next you're gonna tell me ai isn't quite here yet and quantum computers not right around the corner, not to mention no 3d printed guns.
20:40 asciilifeform even 500buxor microscope,was sad
20:41 mircea_popescu only good high magn optic microscopes i ever saw were mirrored not lens.
20:41 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-25#1743016 << ftr that's 13.2k usd at current exchange rate. for a box that 1) is about same as 1k usd opteron 2) other than cpu, is made of exactly same stuff

20:41 mircea_popescu digital particuarly good fit too, because usual problem with mirrors is "your head won't fit in F". but a ccd will.
20:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform let's talk prices after.
20:42 asciilifeform after what ?
20:42 mircea_popescu after the guys even fucking answer.
20:43 asciilifeform also good
20:43 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-25#1742996 << gabriel_laddel ever heard of melting point ?
20:43 a111 Logged on 2017-11-25 00:25 gabriel_laddel: Humans cannot. N-ISO can co-crystalize along with it. But a NN? Idk
20:44 asciilifeform i dun consider it sin to run away from grade school. but consider opening a book
20:44 mircea_popescu can you program a neural network to open books ?
20:44 asciilifeform only after lsd
20:45 asciilifeform !!up gabriel_laddel
20:45 deedbot gabriel_laddel voiced for 30 minutes.
20:46 gabriel_laddel Melting poing can't tell ISO from meth. MSM & other cuts can be acetone washed out.
20:46 asciilifeform gabriel_laddel: most of yer impurity is not the laevo- isomer but intermediate cruft
20:48 asciilifeform and i assume you already recrystallized ?
20:48 gabriel_laddel acetone wash doesn't lose any weight
20:48 gabriel_laddel anyways, I'm not worried about my own supply, just curious about microscopes is all
20:49 asciilifeform get a refractometer instead
20:49 asciilifeform unlike microscope it actually will do part of what you want. and costs almost nuffin.
20:50 gabriel_laddel Spiffy! Thanks.
20:50 asciilifeform and get from a big university's surplus warehouse. not from china.
20:50 asciilifeform !~google abbe refractometer

21:21 mircea_popescu even the push pieces are 3rd hand
21:21 mircea_popescu that scene with shannon doherty "are you guys even trying anymore ?!?!" comes to mind.

21:29 mircea_popescu (re link, the worthy quote, for they too lazy to dig, being "Poettering, as usual, is working on his own solutions and not complaining about the problem. He is working on bringing service management to the next level. He wants to make it easy so users can sandbox system service without necessarily isolating them completely from the host-ware. No need to pretend that a system service is a set of processes completely independen
21:29 mircea_popescu t from the host, which is what containers do. System services can still be part of the host and can still maybe see it but not necessarily access things." this'd then be the empire's gothic line. as the man observes himself, ""the concepts and logic behind it aren't really convincing".)

21:41 mircea_popescu if i mention how i had slave-labour-made fresh crannberies sauce as well as yogurt chimichurri for the lamb over thxgiving (which we don't even actually celebrate) i'm just being an asshole rite.
21:42 mircea_popescu (yes, many people thought they voted for trump -- but some votes for trump actually mattered. this ain't teh ourdemocracy anymoar, bish!)
21:43 mircea_popescu i suppose in fairness the socrates claim to progressive narrative is the best part though. poor socrates. LAST fucking thing.
