asciilifeform hm, it is, isn't it. [00:00]
BingoBoingo Indeed, under many pretexts including a lab with explicit Air Force connection [00:01]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes. [00:01]
asciilifeform http://ninjalj.blogspot.com/2011/11/your-own-linker-warnings-using-gnu.html << how gcc does linker warnings. [00:03]
asciilifeform (some fella went and dug) [00:04]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: The Todd replace by fee patch is probably derp to hell, but it leads to some of the best Hearnia trolling outside this channel https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/612780261109960704 [00:04]
BingoBoingo "AntPool just missed out on 4.644BTC/$1128USD worth of transaction fees because they weren't mining with full-RBF" [00:05]
asciilifeform what even was this? [00:05]
* asciilifeform does not, sadly, have time to personally follow all of the crackpotteries [00:05]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Hearn and Co are pushing some derp where "Those Bitcoins are yours even before the transaction is mined" idiocies [00:06]
asciilifeform how does it (claim to) work ? [00:06]
ben_vulpes broadcast a transaction with a higher fee, miners will include it preferentially to a previous transaction with the same inputs [00:07]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: [00:07]
BingoBoingo faith [00:07]
ben_vulpes nevermind that nothing keeps people from selecting transactions for block inclusion arbitrarily [00:07]
BingoBoingo The Tood thing works through pure profit incentive [00:07]
ben_vulpes myeah, and miners should really be doing it already [00:07]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes, BingoBoingo: what is so peculiar about including whatever transaction fee? this was always possible ..? [00:08]
ben_vulpes it is in no way to the best of my knowledge a change in anything of import [00:08]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: It's basically just Peter Todd made the first public code available to do this [00:08]
asciilifeform to do what? [00:08]
ben_vulpes convention for a long time was that "the earliest broadcast transaction wins" as some sort of half-assed soft-connsensus-aka-fecal-matter prophylactic against double spends [00:08]
BingoBoingo Select for fees [00:08]
BingoBoingo on the same inputs [00:09]
asciilifeform i don't get it. anyone was already able to specify arbitrarily high fee [00:09]
* asciilifeform sorta assumed that miners already optimize for snarfing up max fee [00:09]
BingoBoingo Indeed, but whatever fee maximizing patches miners and pools were running for were like most serious pool code... seekrit [00:09]
asciilifeform if they don't, they are fools, and it isn't any fault of mine [00:09]
asciilifeform let me guess: [00:09]
ben_vulpes prefer transactions with high fees over transactions with low fees [00:10]
asciilifeform shitgang is trying to push a 'for miners' version of turdcoin ? [00:10]
ben_vulpes it's about inclusion logic after transactions got broadcast [00:10]
BingoBoingo Apparently enough pools though were on derp and herp choosing "see first mine first" [00:10]
asciilifeform aimed to replace 'seekrit miner versions' [00:10]
BingoBoingo Pretty much [00:10]
asciilifeform unsurprising [00:10]
ben_vulpes me too [00:11]
ben_vulpes look how dumb we are [00:11]
asciilifeform i can picture the minutes. 'hitler: you know, miners are using own versions of bitcoin and don't particular feel like backporting their necessary mods to yours. hearn: so let's do the work for them. gavin: fine idea' [00:11]
ben_vulpes clearly don't understand how theWerld Werks (tm) [00:12]
asciilifeform btw, one of the (not so) secrets is that mining does not select for 'the brightest bulbs at home depot [u.s. household goods shop]' - nor for political acumen, nor for really much else other than the peculiar countereconomic wormholes which make it sound like a reasonable proposition [00:14]
ben_vulpes moreover i'm not convinced it wasn't a stooge who broadcast the RBF txn to make the tweet in the first place [00:14]
ben_vulpes mining is the worst business. [00:14]
ben_vulpes (or so it seems from the outside). [00:15]
ben_vulpes maybe its the best busines for pillaging some specific kinds of subsidies? [00:15]
* ben_vulpes for bread and cheese [00:15]
trinque probably depends on whether you have a relationship with someone making the hardware [00:16]
* trinque eyeballs the big chinese mining farms [00:16]
asciilifeform mainly on whether you actually pay for the mains current [00:16]
trinque yeah obv free power wins [00:19]
trinque someone should alias meadenodes.com to xtnodes.com [00:21]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171397 << mno. if it's in the channel, it is a live pre-gavin node (OR crafted impostor...) [00:25]

assbot Satoshi 0.5.3.1/src/init.cpp ... ( http://bit.ly/1RnKLZD ) [00:28]
asciilifeform or do i misunderstand what was being asked for. [00:28]
BingoBoingo I am starting to think "Olde Laptop Colo" might make a nice franchised business [00:29]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: pre-emplaced in sand pits and fused mains wiring, for the inevitable halt&catchfire ? [00:29]
asciilifeform perhaps bury them in the earth (with chimneys for hot air.) sorta like the tombs in recoleta cemetary in buenos aires [00:30]
asciilifeform (a surprising number had corpse-gas exhaust pipes!) [00:30]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes was there, saw this [00:31]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Individual enclosures, one time setup fee which covers adapting the machine to its new cooling and power situation [00:31]
asciilifeform incidentally earth is great for passive cooling [00:31]
asciilifeform (if burial is deep enough) [00:31]
asciilifeform you will need to seal to keep out moisture, but if repair is not a concern (machine is disposable, replacement gets new burial plot) this is relatively simple matter [00:32]
asciilifeform though i still like my proposal for sinking miners to the bottom of the north atlantic, more. [00:33]
asciilifeform (go and steal, aha) [00:33]
BingoBoingo I'm thinking more steel sheds, rural locations that happen to be near interections of big city fiber. Prospective franchisees would be the local small town "computer repair" folk [00:33]
asciilifeform nah, you want to take serious advantage of the expendability [00:34]
asciilifeform but in such a way that the box lives out its remaining life, rather than being lifted by the first idiot copper scavenger who comes along. [00:35]
asciilifeform (not because valuable, but because copper scavengers need to be publicly flayed rather than encouraged) [00:35]
BingoBoingo Sure, but I'm thinking you do so by getting machines from the customers. [00:35]
BingoBoingo customer brings boxen, pay setup then power+pipe. Value proposition to franchisees is small town computer outfit gets an avenue to engage in rent collection. [00:37]
asciilifeform if box is easily accessible, 'skin not worth the tanning' [00:37]
asciilifeform whole point would be the physical security of a few metres of cement [00:38]
asciilifeform (it is possible to break up cement, but not without anyone noticing. this is the basic principle for the nuke test-ban compliance gadget used on both sides of the ocean) [00:39]
asciilifeform see the literature. [00:39]
asciilifeform (machine includes vibration, ph, sensors, clinometer, magnetometer, etc. if readings deviate from 'pylon is happily alone in the earth' memory gets zeroed and walked over, continuously) [00:40]
BingoBoingo Point for the customers is access to pipe and power off of their own premises. Physical security offered against naive scavengers, but premise could scale to hundreds of locations. Cheap and easily replicable [00:41]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: schmucks in, iirc, germany, doing this already. see logs [00:42]
* ag3nt_zer0 has quit (Quit: Page closed) [00:42]
asciilifeform snorefest because this has literally no serious advantage over normal hosting [00:42]
asciilifeform (if i wanted a box in some schmuck's house, i'd put it right here in mine) [00:42]
asciilifeform but five metres of cement - or 500m of salt water - that would be something. [00:43]
BingoBoingo Typical imagined customer is small business that wants to support other local business. Connosieur customer wants access to pipe without fucking up their netflix at home. [00:44]
asciilifeform so he would share with ~some other schmuck's~ netflix ? [00:45]
asciilifeform this has all the appeal of renting out the toilet in your house as a public latrine [00:45]
BingoBoingo lol, yes [00:46]
asciilifeform or your kitchen, as a place for bums to cook roadkill in [00:46]
mats brb submitting my ycombinator application for this idea [00:46]
BingoBoingo mats: Go for it [00:47]
* gares_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [00:47]
asciilifeform 'sharing economy!!11!!1' (tm) (r) [00:47]
BingoBoingo Seriously, this has all the promise of a great chumpatron except every now and then a customer does something worthwhile [00:48]
asciilifeform btw, my local telco quasimonopoly - 'verizon' - had a hilarious tamer version of this for some years, where you pay a few hundy for a box that opens a vpn to their end and gives you cell signal in your house, via your own net pipe. and they had the audacity to still charge for the 'minutes' and per MB of data. [00:49]
asciilifeform as result, the only folks who bought were 1) chumps 2) people who wanted to make own 'stingray' [00:49]
mats that's kind of brilliant [00:50]
asciilifeform vendor very much did not like (2) and they closed the hole which made reflashing the rom trivial. now you have to actually open the plastic box, oh noez. [00:50]
mats for operator, anyway [00:50]
asciilifeform who wants - go, buy. [00:51]
asciilifeform thing is still sold. [00:51]

asciilifeform i'm told there are equivalents for other american carriers [00:51]
BingoBoingo I think Comcast and a few cableco's do this for wifi [00:52]
BingoBoingo Major revenue source for mothership is selling the franchisees laptop cages, cooling, and FeNi batteries [00:55]
BingoBoingo Revenue source for franchisee is setting up machines, collecting rent, and selling good feels to the locals [00:56]
asciilifeform if the past 40 years of computer retardation hadn't happened, and we used a stack with support for seamless process migration, 'voting circuit' computation, etc. it would be practical to use '1024 chickens' arrays of arbitrarily garbage hardware [00:56]
asciilifeform as it is, there is a lower bound for what is worth bothering with at all. [00:56]
asciilifeform what, other than bitcoind, would you even consider putting on such a thing [00:57]
BingoBoingo Actually this idea was born from I have phree machine, want to appliance it up with Bitcoind, but making it a super public seeder on the home connection would be the suck. [00:58]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8974 @ 0.00039974 = 3.5873 BTC [-] {2} [00:58]
asciilifeform rent a cage at data center [00:58]
asciilifeform this costs money, so find 40 friends to split it with [00:58]
BingoBoingo Other maybe applications of such service though might be IRC bouncers and personal mail machines [00:58]
asciilifeform (typically they go by full rack) [00:58]
BingoBoingo Which is the beauty of this idea. Find folk who would sell fractional rackspace [00:59]
BingoBoingo AirBNB the datacenter [00:59]
asciilifeform fractional rack space with terrible hardware already exists [01:00]
asciilifeform i have a few boxes like this myself [01:00]
asciilifeform thing is, what you're actually paying for is proximity to respectable pipe [01:00]
asciilifeform this is not to be found in a residential unit, and certainly not in usa [01:01]
BingoBoingo And now we have the real crux of the problem. How to get chumps to subsidize serious pipe [01:01]
asciilifeform brings back to a fundamental point from one of mircea_popescu's articles - shuffling things around is not going to increase 'number of turkeys available' [01:01]
asciilifeform usa is a shit-internet country. this won't change because there is no good reason for it to change [01:02]
BingoBoingo More turkeys is a very hard problem. More chickens is much easier. [01:02]
asciilifeform laying cable to nowhere-duelingbajos-fucktown is not an economically +ev proposition. [01:03]
asciilifeform places which only even have telephones because usg imposed it [01:03]
asciilifeform desovietization will leave those folks where they belong - with highest tech level available being the hog harness [01:03]
asciilifeform (hell, possibly whole usa is candidate for this) [01:04]
BingoBoingo Mapsploring I am finding a disturbing number of duelingbajos-fucktowns which by all right ought to have datacenters advertising colospace based on cable locations and intersections. [01:04]
asciilifeform they probably have cable in cement vault [01:05]
BingoBoingo A number of these fucktowns even have major connection endpoints in the form of bezzelversities [01:05]
asciilifeform incidentally, just about every american town of any size has a version of this: the hollowed-out fortified walls of the old strowger-switch telco exchanges [01:06]
asciilifeform they are being filled up with 'dc on the cheap' [01:07]
BingoBoingo Prime candidate for such an operation is carbondale, Illinois. Lived there once. Oasis of connectivity in a desert. Major chicago-New Orleans pipe. Indianapolis pipe. St Louis pipe. Shithole Kentucky pipes. Many hippies who want to "buy local" [01:07]
asciilifeform but still largely empty, because in bezzleworld 'cheap' is a relative thing. [01:07]
asciilifeform but at no point does it make sense to emplace anything of any value whatsoever in mr. randomschmuck's house. [01:07]
BingoBoingo USG datacenters 10 miles away in Marion, IL off of the pipe path because prisons and FBU [01:07]
asciilifeform i will have no part in it. and i can't picture any sane person wanting a part in it. [01:08]
BingoBoingo Oh I never said house. I said shed. Shed goes on shitland, in town's once industrial district. Preferably a "superfund" site. [01:09]
asciilifeform what, again, would you pay actual money to host in such a place ? [01:09]
BingoBoingo to host three machines in different locals for the price of one machine in a big city datacenter [01:09]
asciilifeform and how does it beat the 20-30bux/mo an old pentium3 in data center costs? [01:09]
asciilifeform methinks we're speaking of a 'chinese backyard steel mill' situation here. [01:10]
asciilifeform !s backyard steel [01:10]
assbot 6 results for 'backyard steel' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=backyard+steel [01:10]
BingoBoingo AH, in this region there is not such a deal I can drive to. A bring the box colo costs $70 USD for 1 rack unit [01:11]
BingoBoingo At half depth [01:11]
BingoBoingo I'm trying to think out a way to chump this down to $20 per box [01:12]

BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Ambien makes one trip balls if you stay awake instead of sleeping [01:20]
pete_dushenski ambien "It is a short-acting nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class[3] that potentiates GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, by binding to GABAA receptors at the same location as benzodiazepines.[4] It works quickly, usually within 15 minutes, and has a short half-life of two to three hours." [01:21]

BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: Mostly it triggered some interesting visual things and a profound compromise in judgement equivalent to a fifth of bourbon, but without the other tell tale warnings actual booze would offer. [01:29]
asciilifeform 'At Treblinka, an underground organization plotted an armed rebellion and mass escape. Learning about the Warsaw ghetto revolt from the last transports of Jews brought to Treblinka from Warsaw, the organizers decided the moment for revolt had arrived. On August 2, 1943, the underground fighters put their plan into action: to steal arms from the warehouse; eliminate the German and Ukrainian guards on duty; set the camp on fire; [01:30]
asciilifeform destroy the extermination area; and, then help the remaining prisoners escape to the forest. Many were killed during the rebellion, including all the resistance leaders, as the flames and reports of the revolt brought German reinforcements from all directions. But as many as 200 prisoners escaped to the neighboring forest, and perhaps twenty of those men survived German efforts to recapture them.' [01:30]

pete_dushenski like the deficits that we can run, no one else can do. [01:51]
asciilifeform i never grokked that part [01:52]

pete_dushenski asciilifeform: torvalds might do just that if he saw the value of such a calculation and understood the implications [01:57]
funkenstein_ ah, you are on topic :) [01:57]
asciilifeform colour me thick, but i still don't feel like i have a grasp of the implications. [01:57]
funkenstein_ he feels "tricked" to "give away work"? [01:59]

asciilifeform ever wonder how this went away ? [02:00]
asciilifeform the original generation of 'computers are interesting and we know basic maths, etc' grew old, mostly did not die yet except in ben franklin's sense of 'most people die at 25 but buried at 75' [02:00]
pete_dushenski asciilifeform: i dunno torvalds well, but he doesn't seem to have 1/10 mircea_popescu's ambition [02:00]
pete_dushenski as such, torvalds won't direct his unpaid armadas towards anything like the targets and projects that mp will. [02:01]

funkenstein_ ok i don't know norway.. but i think that needs a bit of sussing out [02:08]
funkenstein_ he does mention "advanced society¨.. [02:09]
asciilifeform norway was considerably more expensive for naggum than for just about anyone [02:09]
asciilifeform on account of how he ended up - literally - taxed to death [02:09]
funkenstein_ ok that context does help thanks [02:10]
asciilifeform (short version: he decided that he could easily live off the consulting pay from working a few months / year. no. gov. decided that he must be secretly working the remainder of the year, and demanded tax, which he could not afford to pay. was driven into penury and died of self-neglect from easily treatable diseases) [02:10]
funkenstein_ it is an often discussed irony that technology decreases leisure time [02:11]
asciilifeform but overall he was, i think, referring to the more prosaic fact that it costs a hell of a lot to ~not live like a 17 y.o. shit~ [02:11]
asciilifeform that is, having four walls to sit in without strangers sharing the space, to eat real food, to sometimes visit doctors, etc [02:11]
asciilifeform this is even aside from the expensive things folks sometimes ~choose~ to do when they grow older, like producing children, etc [02:12]
pete_dushenski children, traveling, cars, hobbies... [02:12]
pete_dushenski it adds up quickly. [02:13]
asciilifeform there are other 'costs' that aren't precisely monetary, like the fact that you can't do the 20 years where you became a serious specialist in something - over again [02:13]
funkenstein_ the travel one rings true. [02:13]

ascii_field what's special in that one [16:06]
mircea_popescu but i am very much perturbed by your proposition that it worked until recently. to what degree worked ? [16:06]
ascii_field i'm not seeing any oddities [16:06]
mircea_popescu can you say, count all the peers you ever got off irc ? [16:06]
ascii_field mircea_popescu: i got peers from it [16:06]
ascii_field ever since i've snipped out the gavindns seeds & the hardcoded seeds from my own tree [16:07]
mircea_popescu did you actually do a full sync that was throughout dependent on irc as sole primary peer source ? [16:07]
ascii_field one full sync and several partial (into the high 200k's) [16:07]
mircea_popescu ascii_field iirc the problem was something about how /who flooded the client. so they made a limit so it only shows 100 entries [16:08]
ascii_field (terminated through no fault of their own, simply because wanted to start from scratch when testing patches) [16:08]
mircea_popescu but then botched it and it always showed the same 100 [16:08]
mircea_popescu which then flooded the clients in question so they stopped working [16:08]
ascii_field l0l! [16:08]
mircea_popescu ikr? [16:08]

ascii_field so irc on butcher block? [16:09]
mircea_popescu can you discern from whence you sit if the following is a possible explanation : you got now and again (rarely) a peer, which gave you its lists of peers, which is how you actually synced. [16:09]
mircea_popescu irc on butcher block. [16:09]
ascii_field well of course that's how i synced [16:09]
* ascii_field whets knife [16:10]
mircea_popescu so maybe the "doesn't work" vs "worked 3 days ago" is simply that you ran yours for a day and ben_vulpes ran his for fifteen minutes. [16:10]
* diana_coman has quit (Quit: Leaving) [16:10]
ascii_field quite possibly. [16:10]
ascii_field i will remind readers that 'irc on butcher block' means a 100% reliance on seeds we enter in config. and also on specifying node's external ipv4. [16:10]
mircea_popescu aye. [16:11]
ascii_field which is, i suppose, as it should be. but means that: we need seeds. [16:11]

mircea_popescu i dunno... iirc mod6 couldn't get the laptop to open last i saw him :D [16:36]
mircea_popescu something about the lock not being bsd or what was it [16:36]
ascii_field likewise, when mircea_popescu has occasion to visit a doctor, does he visit an 'obsolete' specialist, or just some fella who had a 'general sense of sanity' and decided, on a weekend lark, to open an anatomy book for an hour or two ? [16:36]
mircea_popescu last time i visited a doctor, it was doctor levy [16:37]
mircea_popescu i was about six, and my parents somehow had found an old jew - complete with chained pocketwatch - to be my personal physician [16:37]
mircea_popescu he was very much what i describe (not really what you charicaturize, obviously) [16:37]
ascii_field lucky then, that mircea_popescu did not need a doctor. [16:38]
mircea_popescu lucky indeed. [16:38]
mircea_popescu but i have some, however marginal, hope - that by the time i actually do, one might actually exist. [16:38]

thestringpuller was thinking about you in traffic this morning ascii_field [16:41]

ascii_field thestringpuller: closer to 2 on avg. [16:42]
thestringpuller that's my mentors favorite quote btw ascii_field [16:43]
mircea_popescu ascii_field i dunno about insects, but it is certainly a cheap if ineffectual way to assuage one's feelings of inadequacy. [16:44]
mircea_popescu then you get jwz's all over. [16:44]
mircea_popescu they're all specialists, and all in something else. [16:44]
mircea_popescu consequently nobody's responsible for anything and whatever. [16:44]
ascii_field can we distinguish shit from shinola, even if only to the extend of admitting the existence of shinola ? [16:45]
ascii_field jwz != perelman [16:45]
mircea_popescu sure. [16:45]
mircea_popescu but to their wives, they're interchangeable. [16:45]
mircea_popescu hence - divorce. [16:45]
* ascii_field doesn't recall perelman so much as threatening to have a wife [16:46]
mircea_popescu to their waiter - which they don't have - to their doctor - which idem - to their life, whatever it means, they're interchangeable. [16:46]
ascii_field i must confess that ^ makes literally no sense to me [16:46]
ascii_field why would they be interchangeable to their wives (supposing each had a wife) ? [16:47]
mircea_popescu ok. lety's walk through the path. [16:47]
mircea_popescu guy is 3. he is easily the equal of anything life throws his way. master of his destiny, the three year old roars. [16:47]
mircea_popescu a decade passes, and the thirteen year old is confronted with the sad circumstance that hanna likes basketball players and rachel likes football players, and to become either you gotta talk to the respective coach, and the coach says you gotta spend all your time practicing. well... he can't readily spend all his time twice over. [16:48]
thestringpuller what about guy who is on all the teams? [16:48]
mircea_popescu at which point, guy specializes, and takes rachel. another guy, coming later, takes hanna. for less effort, but lesser pickings. and so with everyone. [16:49]
thestringpuller guy who has letter jacket from baseball, basketball and football. [16:49]
thestringpuller couldn't he date hanna and rachel at same time? [16:49]

mircea_popescu and there's a most endeering scheme where he and the current guy his girl is ... with, let's say, walk in the woods. [16:52]
mircea_popescu and the russian tries to talk to the brit. plainly, man to man. it involves some kickjumps in the vegetation. the other backs off like a cat from a calendar. [16:53]
mircea_popescu it all goes to shit, but ~after~ that. [16:53]

mircea_popescu "C++ is philosophically and cognitively unsound as it forces a violation of all known epistemological processes on the programmer. as a language, it requires you to specify in great detail what you do not know in order to obtain the experience necessary to learn it. " [18:09]

williamdunne mircea_popescu: Wife was simply for their understanding, I'm not particularly concerned with the idea of marriage [18:13]

ag3nt_zer0 so, if structuralism and post-structuralism are reactions against "traditional" humanism, and "tradition" in general (which seems untenable given that I see Traditonal metaphysics as opposed to humanism), would post-post-structuralism be pro-traditionalism to some degree? [20:05]

assbot Logged on 22-06-2015 23:01:12; ag3nt_zer0: so, if structuralism and post-structuralism are reactions against "traditional" humanism, and "tradition" in general (which seems untenable given that I see Traditonal metaphysics as opposed to humanism), would post-post-structuralism be pro-traditionalism to some degree? [23:03]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: everytime you shoot this nigga in the head he comes back to fucking life. [23:03]
mircea_popescu down from the 100% he thought he had back in janaury ? [23:03]
mircea_popescu since we're making up numbers, i would say he needs to have at least 8megapercent support, or else his support won't scale. [23:03]

thestringpuller you need to get off the liquor mister leahy [23:11]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: 2 items for consideration: 1) what version string is to be used in the first public therealbitcoin nodes? the current one doesn't seem appropriate 2) anyone have existing nodes (of whatever variety) to 'get a light' from? i'd prefer these to 'wild' mysterymeat [23:12]
mod6 I am the liquor, bobandy. [23:12]
mod6 asciilifeform: 1) don't have anything to add to this discussion atm. although, we can have it again if you like. 2) I don't have anything going atm; The working nodes (on deb6) are down because i'm working on the gentoo gcc stuff right now. [23:15]
thestringpuller http://i.imgur.com/xDGYGZV.jpg << for all the people using cloud as a buzzword [23:16]
mod6 The patch we got from that mailing list was from a different version for sure than 4.8.4 -- so i've had to hack it in by hand. gentoo is now applying the patch properly. and it's compiling as we speak. there is one caviat that I need to get over before I can test it though. [23:16]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform 190.172.13.251 [23:17]
asciilifeform mod6: not looking for earth-shaking ideas, but release was 0.5.3.1, and the thing about to be fielded is clearly something quite else, imho needs a new name, at least new ver. 2) ~somebody~'s gotta have a seed [23:17]

You know, the ingenious design that promotes cheating and distraction and love? Those are fucking MANDATORY in some districts... teachers couldn't sit them all facing forward if they wanted [23:19]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform 0.5.4, 0.6, whichever. [23:19]
mircea_popescu ag3nt_zer0 but have ye read the logs ? [23:19]
* asciilifeform still in the process of sawing out the irc sync mechanism. after this, will have to see whether the deterministic-build thing actually works (my last attempt using therealbitcoin's 'official' script died in agony on account of gcc strange) [23:19]
mod6 If we add in (officially the following): { Orphanage Thermonuke, TX Orphanage Amputation, { All DNS Thermonyukyooar Patches } }, I'd say that'd be a new milestone. And I'd propose to call it 0.5.3.2 [23:19]
asciilifeform ^ why not. [23:19]
mircea_popescu 0.5.3.2 works [23:19]
mircea_popescu tho kinda long imo. nobody should need 4 digits of versioning [23:20]
mircea_popescu unless, of course, they're from ms. then they need 8. or unl;ess they're running boost and qt. [23:20]
ag3nt_zer0 mircea_popescu: yes some, not enough, far from done... [23:20]
mod6 haha [23:20]
asciilifeform imho we oughta cleanly break with the gavinists' versioning sequence (e.g., 31337.1) [23:20]
mircea_popescu make it 5.4, good enough [23:20]
mircea_popescu why ? [23:20]
asciilifeform for one thing, would piss on their 'too old' detection mechanism [23:21]
asciilifeform widely deployed among unsuspecting folks [23:21]
mircea_popescu this is the sequence, logically. buncha derps made some rejected "versions", who cares what they numbered them as ? [23:21]
mircea_popescu folks should suspect more. [23:21]
asciilifeform was there a turdalicious 5.4 ? [23:21]
mircea_popescu what idiots did can not now, nor ever be a consideration. [23:21]
mod6 well, there isn't a previous version 5.4 -- stops after 5.3 and goes right to 6... so i guess that could work. [23:21]
mircea_popescu i'm not going to not name something america because obama. [23:21]
asciilifeform idk, what hogs do is in some circumstances a consideration at meat plant [23:21]
asciilifeform 5.4 works [23:22]
mircea_popescu so then, that. [23:22]
mod6 let's let ben weigh in here. [23:22]
asciilifeform again, i'm not about to fire it quite yet. probably needs another evening or two of massage. [23:22]
mod6 oh hey, i think my patch built ok... [23:23]
mod6 now to find out if it actually /works/ XD [23:23]
* agorecki (~agorecki@unaffiliated/agorecki) has left #bitcoin-assets [23:24]
mod6 if this works out, it'll be my first official gcc hack [23:25]
mod6 of course... there is the entire question on the table at this point about the "gentoo sanity" patches. [23:26]
mod6 before we cut a new milestone, i'd like to have this sucker up and running on gentoo with uclibc & patched with the "gentoo sanity" patches as well. [23:27]
mod6 then we can finally go off of a version that we support, etc. [23:27]
mod6 (basically, I'm just saying those patches should have been included in my list above) [23:27]
mod6 oh, and I keep hitting an additional problem aside from what the "gentoo sanitiy" resolves. i've been holding off submitting a patch for it until I can get this thing actually compiled and working. [23:28]
mod6 (have been having to add `#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS #include ` to the start of net.cpp, util.cpp, and wallet.cpp for some bizzare reason) [23:30]
asciilifeform ^ that's what i was talking about re: the deterministic build script [23:31]
mircea_popescu aha [23:31]
mircea_popescu anyway, this is pretty good progress and intel seems to indicate you're actually ahead of the curve, so, dun stress. [23:31]
* asciilifeform curious re: 'the curve' [23:32]
* asciilifeform wonders how many folks, toiling in forgotten pestholes, have walked same path [23:32]
mircea_popescu not that curve. the "o noes, 75% support" curve. [23:34]
mod6 eh, guess i spoke too soon: my patch comiled in nicely... and much much later in the entire compile process gcc hangs on libcpp: http://dpaste.com/3XZH8PZ.txt [23:38]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1LxNmyp ) [23:38]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1173048 << do not define, or even think about, things in terms of other things. it is a horrible habit and a path to idiocy. [23:38]
assbot Logged on 22-06-2015 23:24:56; ag3nt_zer0: trinque: well I had no idea what structuralism was but read something by mircer_popescu and at the end he said "welcome to the post-post- structuralist world that the internet has enabled" or something to that effect... that got me looking at structuralisma dn post structuralism and I was just confused because what I read was that structuralism was a reaction against humanism -and- tradit [23:38]
mircea_popescu structuralism is the proposition that elements of human culture are defined by their relationships to other elements. [23:39]
mircea_popescu this is a complex point not accessible to the novice, and so nothing to be taken cavallierly. [23:39]

Hasimir or to put it another way (re: structuralism), everything is interconnected ... [23:48]
ag3nt_zer0 mircea_popescu: yeah ok, after looking up structuralism, I was just hung up on the idea that if humanism is constructed on erroneous principles, and is structuralism is a reaction to humanism... then its just doubly wayward... [23:48]
mod6 here's the gcc 4.8.4 patch in question (gcc needs to be patched with Gentoo/uclibc/PIE patches beforehand): http://dpaste.com/0QHZ59X.txt [23:48]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1TJejVr ) [23:48]
mircea_popescu of the crooked timber of humanity no correct thing was ever made. [23:48]
mircea_popescu to say that any paradigm is flawed is not to say very much at all. [23:48]
ag3nt_zer0 so maybe with a post-post-post the ship eventually by chance faces due north [23:48]
mircea_popescu it'd be interesting if you can show how its flaws impede its intended results and how can they be cheaply remedied. [23:48]
Hasimir "these sorts of things have happened before and have always been attributable to human error." [23:49]
mod6 i'm gonna nuke that machine again and try to compile it again with the patch. see if it works. if not, i'll just see if it'll even compile gcc itself. [23:49]
mircea_popescu mod6 i didn't know la serenissima had nukes :D [23:49]
mod6 just of the bitwise persuasion :] [23:50]
mircea_popescu hehe [23:50]
mircea_popescu ag3nt_zer0 the entire thing started with the absolutely correct observation that words have i nfact no meanings, not anymore than any one website has google pagerank. a theoretical model was proposed where meaning of all words is produced through iteration, exactly in the same manner pr is calculated (and this is why google used to be notable - it implemented a major tenet of culture at the time) [23:52]
mod6 so one of the reasons i'm being kidna hard-headed about 4.8.4; i'm worried that with a downlevel version such as 3.7 or whatever, that there might not even exist a set of patches (such as Gentoo/uclibc/PIE) that are required for Gentoo -- might be a whole seperate ball of wax & problems. [23:52]
mircea_popescu this model is very stupid, notwithstanding interesting results it produces in some cases, and the failure of google exactly illustrates the failures of the model. [23:53]
mod6 so if we get this one to work, i think that's our best/easiest path, currently. [23:53]
mircea_popescu post-post-structuralism is in no sense and to no degree a return to "Traditionalism", which is strictly distinct from the humanism the original structuralism was supposedly a reaction to. it is merely the observation of coexistence : the stupid generate their pseudo-meanings out of iteration, the smart (i've called these before language creators) have thei own dictionaries, the two categories interplay in praxis. [23:54]
mircea_popescu (praxis being the usage of a language, or more properly, representational system) [23:54]
mircea_popescu and traditionalism, for the record, is the fundamentally correct observation that there can not be such a thing as a new phenomenon, and the fundamentally flawed proposition that for this reason, it is more important to interpret phenomena through history than through any other lens. [23:55]
mircea_popescu stuff like taleb is a much more damaging criticism of traditionalism than structuralism ever was or could aspire to be. [23:56]
mircea_popescu (and humanism is the proposition, beyond naive, that there exists an universal aspect to everything which is immediately accessible to people. if this sounds stupid well... it's because humanism, like any socialist ideology, is made by the stupid for the use of the stupid) [23:57]
mircea_popescu at its core, humanism is the proposition not that there exists a saint peter by the pearly gates, nor that he would understand your language, but that ~you~ would understand ~his~, [23:58]
mircea_popescu or for that matter even recognize pearly gates if you saw 'em. [23:58]
mircea_popescu which is exactly contradictory to the hermetic tradition, nothing else. (which no, is not simply "jewish") [23:59]
