06:40 mircea_popescu i suppose another side effect of all this is that it turns 1 ratings into a sorta morgue.
06:40 mircea_popescu "mp, you can't negrate him, we can't sell to him if you do" "fuck. i don't wanna 0 it either, it'll disappear from the lists" "well..." "fuuuuck"
06:41 mircea_popescu what can you do.
06:41 diana_coman hm; why does 0 disappear from the lists though?
06:41 diana_coman isn't that the natural morgue?
06:42 diana_coman 0 is not "no rating"

06:42 mircea_popescu diana_coman, traditionally setting it to 0 is how you unset it.
06:43 mircea_popescu i suppose, retrospectively, this is implementation of folly, there's no possible usecase for ACTUALLY ever unsetting a rating.
06:43 diana_coman mircea_popescu: yes, but not sure I see the point of "unset"; it's 0
06:43 diana_coman exactly.
06:43 diana_coman tbh it sounds a bit like discovering that 0 "exists", lol.
06:43 mircea_popescu this is so ; but for the sake of sanity im not gonna spec significant changes in the middle of implementing a differen tspec.
06:44 mircea_popescu it does at that.
06:44 diana_coman aite.
06:44 mircea_popescu we'll get to this later, i say.
06:45 mircea_popescu it's philosophically fraught, because as per the spec a rating of 0 should convey that the rater deems he can answer NO questions about the ratee. in which case... why is it a rating.
06:46 mircea_popescu of course, this could readily also bear the alternative interepretation of "there is nothing the rater WISHES TO SAY".
06:46 mircea_popescu we can mull it over till april.

06:59 mircea_popescu nah was gonna do them next.
07:13 diana_coman http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1937779 - I think this is quite exactly what 0 rating means, yes.
07:13 ossabot Logged on 2019-09-25 07:01:56 mircea_popescu: of course, this could readily also bear the alternative interepretation of "there is nothing the rater WISHES TO SAY".
07:13 mircea_popescu the problem with this is that people wish to say different things in different contexts.
07:14 mircea_popescu the converse is folly, "oh, girl doesn't show her cunt". of course she does. just, maybe not to you.
07:17 diana_coman hm; rather: 0 = there is history of interaction but there is nothing to say of the person currently (dead @ the morgue, precisely); onth no rating means no history whatsoever.
07:18 diana_coman so yes, nothing the rater can/wishes to say of the current "person"; still, they can/wish to say something of the past-identity if one asks
07:19 mircea_popescu incidentally asciilifeform scores on his choice of epithet. amir-al-bahr used to be "commander of the fleet", but the dwellers in the lower part of the kingdom of two sicilies (a byzantine remnant) thought it's rather something else.

08:17 mircea_popescu this is a problem innit.
08:20 mircea_popescu not even just for bvt, also say nicoleci
08:22 mircea_popescu i suppose the only workable solution here is indeed to admit http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-22#1937525 was actually ill-considered. yes 9 specifically might mean lordship, but that's not === selfvoice.

08:26 mircea_popescu wtf happened here
08:28 diana_coman mircea_popescu: I think this issue with self-voice vs lordship comes from #trilema being both republican halls (ie lords discussion) and your own training halls (hence nicoleci's problem to self-voice if only-9 can do it);
08:28 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2019/antiqua-sanctorum-patrum-or-the-lordship-list-sixth-year/ << he certainly is. nfi, what happened was i went by my ratings ; but his wasn't updated since february.

16:55 diana_coman seems so
16:55 asciilifeform paging BingoBoingo !
16:56 diana_coman well, apparetly he was connected from piz too, lol
16:56 diana_coman ossasepia.com (pizarro) is down too, yes
16:56 asciilifeform dulap unreachable for 1st time since year+ ago when bb elbowed the mains cord
16:57 diana_coman apparently back on
16:57 diana_coman wb BingoBoingo !
16:45 diana_coman asciilifeform: did the bot get out of sync now ?
16:45 asciilifeform snsabot re synced via diana_coman : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log-raw/trilema?istart=1937934&iend=1937941

16:46 asciilifeform no one spoke on other chans , and i turned the crank in time. but we're gonna want to automate these.
16:46 asciilifeform pretty interesting outage, too, net pipe gone for 3min or so (boxes still up, so not mains failure)
16:47 diana_coman asciilifeform: fwiw I was keeping a bit mum precisely to give you time to sync bot when I saw it went down first; then ofc everyone @piz went down
16:48 asciilifeform diana_coman: loox like i'ma have to resync in #o tho.
16:48 asciilifeform would be good if didn't have to be done w/ bare teeth, but i'ma do, brb
16:49 diana_coman and yes, have to automate sync
16:49 ossabot Logged on 2019-09-01 15:54:49 diana_coman: well, syncing indices is gotta be automated not manual hunting though
16:52 asciilifeform diana_coman: pretty strange, seems that they fell outta sync ~before~ this outage ?!
16:53 asciilifeform see e.g. http://logs.ossasepia.com/log-raw/ossasepia?istart=1003800&iend=1003942 vs http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log-raw/ossasepia?istart=1003800&iend=1003942
16:53 diana_coman ugh; is that the first out of sync line?
16:54 asciilifeform diana_coman: yours is missing a line somewhere >day ago
16:55 diana_coman ugh
16:56 asciilifeform snsabot dun appear to have missed any lines in #o during the mystery-outage
16:57 diana_coman looking in my local log, there was no talk in #o between snsabot out/in
16:57 asciilifeform correct
16:57 asciilifeform diana_coman: iirc you had a student write a db differ ? is this posted ? could then find why yours is missing 1ln
16:59 diana_coman yes, it's at http://s.ragavan.co/2019/09/bash-scripting-to-compare-the-ossasepia-logs/
17:00 asciilifeform mine appears to be 100% current ( haven't seen re lobbes's yet ) , diana_coman invited to pipe from there.
17:01 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: plox to make inquiry at piz house , see if they have an answer re dafuq , e.g. 'today we vacuumed the switch'
17:07 asciilifeform wb BingoBoingo
17:07 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: When was the event in question?
17:08 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: roughly 10min ago
17:09 asciilifeform moar precisely, tho, Sep 25 15:52:30 * snsabot has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) << from asciilifeform's local (new york time) log
17:09 asciilifeform asciilifeform noticed ~2m after
17:10 asciilifeform Sep 25 15:56:32 * trinque (~undata@unaffiliated/undata) has joined #trilema << marks end of outage.
17:10 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Is there any clock drift on the machine that logged that?
17:11 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: nope, this is from a box asciilifeform physically sat on, gets reclocked regularly
17:11 asciilifeform outage was ~4min long. asciilifeform did not even lose his shells. (tho was long enuff for fleanode)
17:12 asciilifeform i.e. defo not a mains current outage.
17:13 diana_coman asciilifeform, BingoBoingo fwiw smg servers did not reset so certainly not overall mains outage
17:13 BingoBoingo Definitely no mains outage happened
17:14 asciilifeform diana_coman: aha, dulap likewise not reset
17:15 asciilifeform the likely thing is that someone somewhere physically moved a plug.
17:15 asciilifeform ( when asciilifeform was a sysop, never took 4 whole min to move a live cable. but whoknows, orcs )
17:18 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Will take a look and send a note.
17:18 asciilifeform ty BingoBoingo
17:18 asciilifeform fwiw it's possible that the 'hm, i'ma unplug, then go smoke, and then plug in' took place upstream of piz.

17:38 ossabot Logged on 2019-09-25 15:12:25 mircea_popescu: could use more reading. eg : "How can, for example a compiler be in any way even remotely political?" >> http://trilema.com/2015/the-downtrodden-are-downtrodden-for-a-reason-step-on-their-faces/ specifically discusses it.
17:39 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the way i read it, he starts with rhetorical 'but how could be political' then proceeds to show entirely edible concrete example
17:40 asciilifeform i.e. demonstrates that understands answer is 'yes, noshit'
17:41 asciilifeform ( or did mircea_popescu divide by 0 an' crash before got to that part..? )

17:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform, on reread yes, i see it.
17:43 mircea_popescu did not crash, but i do parse.
17:43 diana_coman on the other hand, since he's been apparently slaving away in web-shitstack & python for ages, he'll have a stab at the multi network bridging thing; we'll see if he cuts or breaks his teeth on it
17:43 ossabot Logged on 2019-09-19 05:39:18 mircea_popescu: speaking of which, an' considering we're apparently stuck with a buncha chrises over here : any of your resident knights capable of registering a chan on ~any other network~ and writing the bridge code on top of extant bot already ?
17:46 mircea_popescu http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1937949 << funny, i had been describing this sorta issue for a while ?

18:15 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this 1 was a piz-wide outage.
18:15 asciilifeform i recall 1 previous similar, ~30sec long, last yr
18:17 mircea_popescu still could benefit from more reading. "hoi polloi" for instance is a syntagma with great english history.
18:17 asciilifeform picture is consistent with 'monkey unplugged then went to smoke', i.e. 100% packet loss for ~4m.

~ 24 minutes ~
19:52 asciilifeform oh hey neato
19:53 asciilifeform diana_coman: plz consider to put said bash+awk in 'contrib' dir of vtree
19:57 asciilifeform lobbes: i relit mine via curl "http://logs.ossasepia.com/log-raw/trilema?istart=1937934&iend=1937941" > foo; ./eat_dump.py foo trilema 3
19:58 asciilifeform ( granted this only worx if there's no conflicting tail, i.e. you get to the console just in time. failing that, (presently) gotta drop the conflicting tail in db before snarfing )
20:02 asciilifeform was thinking re how oughta do auto-syncs. one possible method, is for bot to take command via pm, e.g. !q sync 1000 http://logs.ossasepia.com ; would then walk last N (here, 1000) ln, and offer 'identical', 'diverges prior', or 'diverges at I', I is index, and offer alignment, operator (set in config who) can then confirm or reject
20:03 asciilifeform if choose 'confirm' then eats all changes req'd to get to 'identical' .
20:03 asciilifeform another method would be that periodically tests against loggers given in config, and pm's operator if and only if finds divergence.
20:06 lobbes in general auto-sync would be nifty. but just like the manual method, would need to wait until "dead time" to prevent new lines appearing during the sync wouldn't it?
20:06 lobbes or perhaps I'm missing something
20:06 asciilifeform lobbes: not if it knows how to drop the broken tail
20:07 asciilifeform lobbes: 'tail' here being whatever lines come after the gap, and thereby have erroneous index #s
20:07 lobbes ah okay. that makes sense
20:07 asciilifeform currently this is a gnarly manually-cranked process, as ./eat_dump.py deliberately is made so ~not~ to import any line that conflicts with existing index
20:08 asciilifeform ( could of course add a cmdline param to it, to enable overwrite )
20:09 asciilifeform thing is -- imho it is poor practice to blindly pick another logger and overwrite massive chunk of own db with it w/out mechanically testing that they diverge strictly in favour of the other
20:09 asciilifeform otherwise you could easily end up importing the other logger's hole vs yours
20:10 asciilifeform so far all the gaps have been small enuff to visually examine, but this will not necessarily remain the case
20:11 asciilifeform mechanical diffing, meanwhile, is tricky because ordering is already known to differ ( almost guaranteed to differ when bots are speaking, one's own bot's output ~always~ enters log before that of other bots ; but also can differ elsewhere on acct of fleanode weather )
20:12 lobbes hmm this makes me rethink my current design re: mp-wp bot as well. As it stands, there is no way to "re-sync" since it just spits the lines into a blog post.
20:12 asciilifeform hence why imho resync ~must~ be a semi-automatic, rather than automatic, process.
20:13 asciilifeform lobbes: it's 1 of the reasons why asciilifeform did not like mircea_popescu's original tip re how to bake logger ('just pipe it into a wp') ; but mircea_popescu did specifically ask for 1 that does exactly that, for own www, i presume he knows what he's doing
20:14 lobbes yeah, I'll guess I'll let the man speak to if he wants sync capabilities in the mp-wp-tronic branch
20:17 asciilifeform lobbes: as i understand, with that type of logger you'd have to regen all of the pages that include or follow the gap, in order to close a filled gap.
20:18 asciilifeform ( and to do it very quickly, else someone could easily speak during the regen, and leave you unsynced again )
20:21 lobbes indeed. Would just be a buncha "update" statements that fill in the proper lines. As it currently is designed, I have it spitting lines into a flat file first, and that file is used to update the "current day's log" post as new lines are seen
20:22 lobbes in theory, could index the lines in that file, so as to preserve ordering, as well as keep more than one file (currently, this one file is overwritten on each new day)
20:22 lobbes but idk, perhaps this is more complex than MP wants it to be
20:34 asciilifeform lobbes: see what mircea_popescu says when wakes up.
20:37 asciilifeform imho a logger that can't resync at all, aint much of a logger. but at the same time i dun see why a generate-statics logger couldn't be made to resync. simply a bit moar complicated.
20:38 asciilifeform it'd be a 1st class bitch to resync ~from~, however. but fortunately we have other types of loggers that know how to emit lines x..y for given x/y

21:35 mircea_popescu http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1938022 << emerging sync language from the fact we use bots, rather than not. mindblowing.

21:37 mircea_popescu loggers as extant suffer from being built manalone style, from scratch, as such the only possible in-page selection is an ad-hoc (but very functional, as it happens) by-line.
21:38 mircea_popescu whereas on trilema you have the whole power of the mp-wp selectylanguage at your disposals, you don't need the line numbers because you can just select w/e actually interests you
21:39 mircea_popescu this whole pile is however a massive lesson in evolution-vs-design thematics & tropes ; that "the function creates the organ" is musky throughout ; the blogger's retrospect ("had i not done x it'd never have occured to me to do y") omnipresent ; and so following.
21:41 mircea_popescu consider both the positive (no convergence language'd ever have emerged out of "oh, phf did excellent job with logger") and the negative (without "we have these loggers, how do we sync them" nobody'd have ever understood why mp-wp is a better display mechanism than "this shit i just brewed").
21:50 mircea_popescu the problem with people isn't a problem with people, but with infinities : realia is somewhat infinite ; idealia is MUCH more infinite than that (whole thing neatly mirrors the cardinality of power sets, actually).
21:52 mircea_popescu for this reason any imanentization (ie, mapping of concepts into reality) will revolve around a "paradigm" / wilful blindness of some kind. "how could i not think of that" is always lulzy -- if you thought of everything your head would explode. and that's a literalism : if you somehow fit all states of its own emptiness into a glass it'd go boom.

22:26 asciilifeform in related grrs, asciilifeform recently attempted backport of mircea_popescu's selector knob to own wp, but broke teeth cuz it dun know how to cross paragraphs, and i have '9000' multi-para selections, esp. in ffa series where coad
22:27 asciilifeform so atm still using old, barbaric selector.
22:29 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1938050 << if you dun actually store the raw irc lines somewhere, sync ~from~ your logger becomes suddenly quite nontrivial.

22:34 billymg just found it now and read it over, did not know mp-wp trackbacks were broken in this way
22:36 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1938061 << prolly oughta add to this tho : fleanode not infrequently reorders lines , so might end up with some shuffled if doing this
22:36 snsabot Logged on 2019-09-25 22:23:37 asciilifeform: ( and: if yer not indexing by line , why not actually merge the text when speaker is contiguous ? )
22:38 asciilifeform the other thing, the adhoc traditional line select is human-friendly, very fast to grab a line url, whereas mircea_popescu-style selector less so, gotta find unique start/end text, when citing from trilema it usually takes asciilifeform 2-3 shots to nail down the correct snip

22:43 asciilifeform incidentally, if yer going full throttle w/ selectables , the Right Thing imho would be to take it all the way and make items like this actually display (if reasonably compact.. config knob?) the linked text. a la old man ted nelson's 'transclusions' concept .
22:43 snsabot Logged on 2019-09-25 22:25:37 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1938057 << >> oblig naggum
22:50 asciilifeform another thought : the display of literal machine-readable links verbatim in log, is quite wasteful, and if yer doing a whole-page transform, quite avoidable. why not make the cited text the displayed part of the clickable link (and orig. url -- the machine part when same is clicked) .
22:51 * asciilifeform goes to construct example...
22:57 asciilifeform this becomes : that .
22:58 asciilifeform ^ in this example, as we're using line-based selector, cites whole line. but if used fine-grained selector, could cite the selection.
23:00 asciilifeform result is imho not only moar compact ( why throw the ' http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1938055 ' to the screen ? ) but moar readable .
23:00 snsabot Logged on 2019-09-25 21:41:56 mircea_popescu: consider both the positive (no convergence language'd ever have emerged out of "oh, phf did excellent job with logger") and the negative (without "we have these loggers, how do we sync them" nobody'd have ever understood why mp-wp is a better display mechanism than "this shit i just brewed").
23:01 asciilifeform for folx who give a shit 'via what bot? was the citation' -- can put that in 'hovertext' .
23:01 asciilifeform if finally throwing out the ancient kakobreklic format for logger display, wai not go full throttle.
23:10 asciilifeform would have to make the wwwtron avoid displaying bot echoes tho ( theoretically one'd still want bot echoes , to see wtf is going on when reading via live irc session rather than www )
23:12 asciilifeform ... rapidly this becomes a headache, re historic logs where 1e6 times people cited specifically bot echoes
23:13 asciilifeform this, rather like the 'url clocks' problem, demands a 'smart' transmutation of old l0gz, somehow, in order to work 100% correctly.
23:13 lobbes aha, I was just about to mention the bot echos
23:13 asciilifeform ftr we still haven't a pill for the url clocks problem.
23:13 asciilifeform ( it is preventing import of era1 )
23:15 asciilifeform imho all of this is a++ illustration of how even in very small, conceptually (vs. e.g. ye olde c/gcc/linux orchestra) system, 'legacy' retardation gets firmly baked in and very difficult to entirely remove.
23:16 asciilifeform ancient problem, sorta how the j00z ended up with a talmud in 4 langs
23:16 asciilifeform (couldn't agree on translation of n-1th ea. time they got hard-reset)

23:27 asciilifeform ericbot: i'ma restate compactly. atm we index lines. by a monotonic # . the timestamps are stored as unix epochal times. the urls, however, demand a e.g. 2014-07-16 , and always did, and these both now and then were parsed via what the particular box thought local time was. resulting in headache, because machine timekeeping was , and remains, shite.
23:28 asciilifeform this problem, incidentally, if not cured, will persist in a hypothetical mircea_popescu-style pregenned-pages logger.
23:29 asciilifeform because currently no 2 logotrons actually agree on what reich.time it is.
23:29 asciilifeform nor is there likely ever gonna be any such agreement. use of reich time gotta be made 100% decorative, or to go away entirely.
23:30 asciilifeform even to actually use the unix epochal time, is dodgy. cuz, again, no 2 tmsr boxes are ever likely to come to an accurate agreement re what unix.epochtime it is 'now'.
23:31 asciilifeform so , say you have a logger of whatever type (either traditional or mircea_popescuine) and 2 of these dun agree re when a day ended -- bang, you get links that dun lead to the desired text. cuz they try to use the fucking date.
23:32 asciilifeform the historic epochtimestamps are incidentally all over the place, try setting a scratch box logger to sort ~by time~ some time and weep. ( from when phf , for instance, imported his znc, evidently wasn't 100% synced to the primary logger ; and elsewhere )
23:33 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1937945 for instance diverge by 15m. and that's today. month from nao, prolly will diverge by 30, or worse

23:35 asciilifeform the heathens pretend that they 'solve' this via ntpism. but, characteristically of heathenisms, it dun fucking solve anyffin, is a 'can't believe it aint butter!' pressed sawdust 'solution'.
23:35 asciilifeform with ntpism they give up not only sovereignty (washington gets to tell you 'what time it is') but monotonicity !

23:38 * asciilifeform bbl, gotta get fresh air
23:49 lobbes lol, my bots' identities are merging with my own
23:49 lobbes in the mircea_popescuine logger, though, all links will use the server-side-selectory-style. By definition those links will never agree with the traditional loggers since the latter can't span arbitrary lines / text
23:49 lobbes but I see the issue re: the traditional loggers agreeing with each other
