danielpbarron good [01:52]
metsuno Why don't I see more pseudonymity here? [01:53]
danielpbarron what is that? [01:54]
danielpbarron anonymity is counter to the purposes of the WoT, although a user does not need to link their key to their slave name [01:54]

asciilifeform so!!! [02:13]
asciilifeform i just began live-fire test of the first really dangerous patch [02:13]
asciilifeform for therealbitcoin [02:13]
asciilifeform a backport of the orphan trimming mechanism. [02:13]
BingoBoingo Good luck [02:16]
asciilifeform even if it works, it will need serious review [02:17]

danielpbarron metsuno, get in that WoT so i can rate you! [02:22]
metsuno Thanks BingoBoingo [02:22]
danielpbarron and who were you btw, forgive me i can't recall who you were [02:22]
metsuno I'm need to muck around with my os first though [02:22]
danielpbarron it's been a while since porcfest [02:22]
metsuno we had a very lenghty discussion about bitcoin. you told me about the awesomeness of openbsd. i helped you pretend-assassinate that guy. [02:23]
danielpbarron ohhh cool that's who i thought [02:23]
danielpbarron that assassin thing was the best part of the whole week, besides poker of course [02:25]
metsuno it was an interesting adventure. that's for sure. [02:26]
danielpbarron are you going to the next one? I'm planning on it [02:27]
danielpbarron hopefully with a box full of cardanos and a qntra press pass [02:28]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform im not so sure this is a good idea. [02:28]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it's a test. [02:28]
mircea_popescu "a test" [02:28]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: quite certainly not meant to go in the tree under any circumstances. [02:29]
asciilifeform test of hypothesis. [02:29]
asciilifeform it runs [02:29]
asciilifeform but i very much did not like what i had to do to get it to build. [02:30]
metsuno danielpbarron, I'm definitely going. [02:30]
asciilifeform i will describe the algorithm here. [02:31]
asciilifeform (as found in the enemy code) [02:31]
asciilifeform what they did is to set a limit (default == 750) of 'orphan blocks' (terribly confusing term, nothing whatsoever to do with orphaned chains) [02:32]
asciilifeform and when the limit is reached, one is picked for eviction from the cache [02:32]
mircea_popescu ;;later tell phillipsjk "run into the ground" ? lay off the pipe, man. you don't have enough disposable income to cover my harem's feminine hygiene products bill. [02:33]
gribble The operation succeeded. [02:33]
asciilifeform but if it has antecedents, the chain of those is followed to the end and the terminus is dropped. [02:33]
mircea_popescu a collection of yous is going to run exactly noting into exactly nothing. [02:33]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform as i said before, it's a kudge to fix another kludge. we don't really wnat any of it. [02:34]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: you can't even begin to fathom how true this is [02:34]
asciilifeform (unless you read the bugger) [02:34]
asciilifeform the question does remain, however - what is to be done with toy node [02:34]
mircea_popescu you know the joke with the shitting jews ? [02:35]
asciilifeform ? [02:35]
mircea_popescu two jews shitting in adjoining stalls. [02:35]
mircea_popescu "hey, do you suppose this is work ?" [02:35]
mircea_popescu "nah. if it were, we'd be paying someone to do it for us." [02:35]
asciilifeform lol! [02:35]
mircea_popescu anyway. "what is to be done" re what ? [02:35]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it can't fly with 0.5.3.1 as it presently lives. [02:36]
mircea_popescu and you know this how ? [02:36]
asciilifeform strong empirical data [02:36]
mircea_popescu be specific. [02:36]
asciilifeform oomkill every 20 min. or so [02:36]
mircea_popescu so ? [02:36]
mircea_popescu once it takes > 10 mins / block i'll care. [02:36]
asciilifeform eventually db will be corrupted (may already be silently corrupt?) [02:36]
mircea_popescu it'll be fine. [02:37]
asciilifeform see observations of ben_vulpes re: above [02:37]
mircea_popescu trust in your t-34 with non-interchangeable parts and random fabrication defects [02:37]
asciilifeform other thing is, it's quadratic. [02:37]
mircea_popescu it won a great patriotic war. [02:37]
mircea_popescu look, let it run first. [02:37]
asciilifeform every time the thing reboots, the longer the chain, the longer the re-init. [02:37]
mircea_popescu let it run to where it takes > 10 minutes / block. [02:38]
asciilifeform there's another aspect to it [02:38]
asciilifeform the behaviour of the thing during death is by no means well-defined [02:38]
mircea_popescu right. [02:38]
asciilifeform not merely concerning the db [02:38]
asciilifeform but if node is being used 'in anger' [02:38]
mircea_popescu welcome the filth that is practical bitcoin into your heart, ascii [02:39]

asciilifeform enemy will search far and wide for stories of one of these things catastrophically losing [02:39]
asciilifeform and if can't find, will create plausible scene. [02:40]
mircea_popescu so ? [02:40]
mircea_popescu enemy can not beat 12 dolla. [02:40]
asciilifeform he will say 'mine is $0, runs on your winblows pc' [02:41]
mircea_popescu we're upstream. enemy wants to kill bitpay, it can start a forkwar with me. enemy wants to convince people "bitcoin sucks", it can "create plausible scenes" [02:41]
mircea_popescu yaya. [02:41]
asciilifeform just pointing out that it may prove tricky to convince folks that a node which is, de facto, 7/8th duty cycle or worse, is a good thing [02:42]
asciilifeform likewise, the orphans thing is an easy ddos vector [02:42]
asciilifeform any moron can connect to one of our boxes and take a steaming shit in it [02:43]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform 12 dollars. [02:43]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Opiates are not barbiturate, and heroin withdrawal indeed often only makes people wish they were dying. [02:44]
asciilifeform 12 dollars for a box that can be driven off the net by blowing on it [02:44]
mircea_popescu i never heard of an "alcohol addict" dead for no alcohol. [02:44]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you have to keep blowing. [02:45]
BingoBoingo barbiturate withdrawals, benzodiazepine withdrawals and alcohols withdrawls, potentially deadly "Delerium Tremens" [02:45]
mircea_popescu delirium tremens is hardly that ffs. [02:45]
asciilifeform the 'naturally-occurring' nodes supply most of the wind [02:45]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform it is also very easy to squish a cockroach. [02:45]
mircea_popescu atmosphere already supplies most of the squishing. [02:46]
asciilifeform lol [02:46]
asciilifeform haha, it finally croaked [02:47]
asciilifeform 750 was a bit much. [02:47]
* asciilifeform puts the traditional turd back on [02:47]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform to be clear, did you stop the original thing again to run a something else ? [02:47]
asciilifeform yes [02:47]
mircea_popescu yeah srsly, just buy another box if you can't stop fucking with it [02:47]
mircea_popescu and let the thing just run unmolested. [02:47]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform: if you were planning to kill someone, would you helpfully tell him first ? << that's not the point. in a normal society, the threat is a fundamental tool to hierarchy building. [02:53]
asciilifeform -credible- thread. [02:53]
asciilifeform *threat [02:54]
mircea_popescu the socialist state does not want a normally functioning society, but instead this stellar configuration where the state is at the center, [02:54]
mircea_popescu and every citizen linked to it to the detriment of all else. [02:54]
mircea_popescu no, not credible. a threat at all. [02:54]
mircea_popescu it works on fundamental structures of the hominid brain, much like flirting makes the girl wet. [02:54]
mircea_popescu which is why i am not ever giving it up. the freedom to threaten is not merely my fundamental, unassailable sovereign property, but moreover essential for the construction of effectual instruments to squash the socialists and their golums. [02:55]
asciilifeform this is a very sharp observation, but is it unique to the modern state? [02:55]
mircea_popescu well, that quickly gets iffy. [02:55]
asciilifeform what of ancient despotisms, with the public impaler, etc. - did not want to be at the stellar configuration center ? [02:56]
mircea_popescu nah, no mechanised ways to handle it, [02:56]
mircea_popescu the computer has a lot to do with this, it's a quantum leap in the possibilities of bureaucracy. [02:56]
asciilifeform the khan rides from town to town, has squad in tow with stake [02:56]
asciilifeform or, ivan iv, with cauldrons/oil [02:56]
asciilifeform worked beautifully [02:56]
mircea_popescu if it worked, more by accident than anything. [02:57]
mircea_popescu think of it this way : most russian peasants as late as 1800 had never seen the czar. [02:57]
mircea_popescu every last us residing cockroach has seen obama THIS WEEK [02:57]
asciilifeform well yes [02:57]
mircea_popescu well then. [02:57]
asciilifeform but the basic dread of the state, by peasant, is similar [02:57]
mircea_popescu no. [02:58]
mircea_popescu the peasant did not fear the czar will come and fuck his daughter. [02:58]
mircea_popescu the peasant loved the czar specifically for this reason. [02:58]
asciilifeform more of a 'good cop / bad cop' symbiosis b/w king and next level of org chart down [02:59]
ben_vulpes good evening! [02:59]

ben_vulpes it is so very filthy [02:59]

ben_vulpes console yourself with the reality that life is a filthy entropic process [03:00]
ben_vulpes wallo! [03:00]
ben_vulpes wallow*! [03:00]
asciilifeform the one takeaway is that the cause of oomkill damnation in 0.5.3 can no longer be regarded as mysterious [03:00]
mircea_popescu or with the thought that you were never filthier than the day you were born. [03:00]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform causes. [03:00]
asciilifeform aha [03:00]

mircea_popescu ben_vulpes as a body % ? [03:02]

asciilifeform ben_vulpes: pgs. 4-5 [03:03]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: implicit. [03:03]
kakobrekla well that hardly counts as api [03:03]
mircea_popescu yes but what were they ? [03:03]
ben_vulpes and that hardly counts as a requirement [03:03]
kakobrekla mats try adding "?json" at end of url and see if anything happens [03:03]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: the wretch was ordered to use only systems fully compatible with traditional usg spyware used on such occasions [03:04]
mircea_popescu mats and on top of that, you can reuse addresses for as long as the bet didn't close. [03:04]
ben_vulpes anyways, mircea_popescu, relativism is for the birds. [03:04]
mircea_popescu no quantum computing for you. copme back, 1????????? year [03:04]
mats cool. rewriting the code for bitbet audit so it'll be worthy of publication this year. [03:05]

ben_vulpes anyways asciilifeform how does the backported orphan-pruning situation handle the full tree? [03:12]
ben_vulpes omg it strikes me that there isn't a blocktree visualizer that i'm aware of [03:13]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: the 'orphan blocks' in question have nothing whatsoever to do with the usual definition [03:13]
ben_vulpes what praytell then are they? [03:13]
asciilifeform they are simply blocks received hopelessly out of order [03:13]
ben_vulpes [] felipelalli: asciilifeform: your engine is pretty smart, thank you. :) <<< mmm win :D << once again i get no credit for the setup [03:13]
* ben_vulpes throws up his hands [03:13]
asciilifeform that is, anything that sails in for which you don't have an immediate ancestory [03:13]
asciilifeform *ancestor [03:13]
ben_vulpes right [03:13]
ben_vulpes should blockchain dl be performed sequentially? [03:14]
asciilifeform you can't do anything with them, except a) discard b) store in hope of gluing the chain together later [03:14]
asciilifeform classical bitcoind is all (b) and no (a) [03:14]
asciilifeform never, ever (a) [03:14]
asciilifeform thus it is doomed to die after snarfing up sufficiently many of these. [03:14]
ben_vulpes i guess the subquestion would be is b) even practical [03:14]
ben_vulpes doomed << well, question answered [03:15]
asciilifeform so it isn't a memory leak in the traditional sense [03:15]
ben_vulpes okay but to play devils advocate for a moment theoy could be dumped into the db were it used sanely [03:15]
ben_vulpes they* [03:15]
asciilifeform merely toilet that is never flushed, but continuously shat in [03:15]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: if you store these, anywhere, you set yourself up for shitburial [03:15]
ben_vulpes you and your poo metaphors [03:15]

asciilifeform if you recall, bitcoin is not 'bittorrent' and does not make use of the multitude of nodes known to it at a given moment for fetching the blockchain [03:36]
asciilifeform instead, it locks onto one particular peer [03:36]
asciilifeform and snarfs from him, until it doesn't [03:36]
asciilifeform then picks another. [03:36]

mircea_popescu "Keeping in mind that actual stalking has never been dealt with in any significant way ever, the desire of a few female writers to curb online anonymity wouldn't be enough to get an @ mention, except that this happens to coincide with what the media wants, and now we have the two vectors summing to form a public health crisis. "Cyberbullying is a huge problem!" Yes, but not because it is hurtful, HA! no one cares about [14:28]
mircea_popescu your feelings-- but because criticism makes women want to be more private-- and the privacy of the women is bad. The women have to be online, they do most of the clicking and receive most of the clicks. Anonymous cyberbullying is a barrier to increasing consumption, it's gotta go." [14:28]
mircea_popescu in retrospect this is the best discussion of this ever-returning zombie of "cyberbullying" i ever read. [14:29]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what can be [16:28]
mircea_popescu it will cause trouble at some point down the road, because eventually the blockchain will overwhelm the index. [16:28]
mircea_popescu however, it can be implemented as rolling window, which is how in point of fact "relay set" works [16:28]
* asciilifeform was thinking the opposite - civilized nodes could provide arbitrary tx access [16:29]
ben_vulpes hear hear [16:29]
ben_vulpes not really the remit of the RI tho. [16:29]
ben_vulpes RI, by my understanding: downloads and verifies blockchain; regurgitates blocks on demand; relays transactions. [16:30]

coderwill ben_vulpes: hello, apologies, i have been busy for a few days, but noticed your mention the other day about options [16:49]
ben_vulpes oh, mostly just trolling you [16:50]
coderwill ben_vulpes: the first thing i asked was to see the cap table [16:51]
* assbot gives voice to trinque [16:51]
coderwill ben_vulpes: sorry wasn't around to reply [16:52]
coderwill so when i asked to see the cap table, was told that no one except investors are allowed to see cap table [16:53]
coderwill then what mike_c said was almost exactly what happened afterward, ironically [16:53]
mircea_popescu next time tell them "listen bub, i'm not fresh off the turnip truck. you want to hire me on pure salary, it's $1,5mn the first year payable upfront and increasing by 1mn each eyar after that. [16:55]
mircea_popescu now go get that cap table." [16:55]
coderwill yeah, i thought about that at the time, but then was like, well, i guess i'm getting to work at one of the most well-known wallet providers, that could be good for subsequent opportunities [16:56]
mircea_popescu except it's moreover bad. [16:56]
coderwill correct, that was a naive thought in many regards [16:56]
mircea_popescu well, at least now it's in the logs. [16:56]
trinque coderwill: nah man, that "this will at least be good for my resume" thing is just a way of learning to love the pole [16:57]

trinque that said why fight for equity if the businesses wont even be there in a few years [16:59]
ben_vulpes yeah fuck equity [16:59]
trinque maybe 2 of the 7 I've worked for still exist [16:59]
ben_vulpes short the shartups [16:59]
trinque one of those is my own [17:00]
coderwill at the same time, there are some people i really enjoyed getting to know who i'd be happy to work with again. it's just a few that made it very strange for everyone [17:00]
coderwill trinque: agreed, equity is not all it's cracked up to be [17:01]
trinque well it's not equity; it's that the companies are largely worthless [17:01]
trinque I had looads of shares of the terrible rails startup I was a part of years ago [17:02]
trinque company's dead; shares aren't worth one reddit note [17:02]
mircea_popescu trinque pushing for equity is an essential tool in evaluating the company. [17:02]
mircea_popescu peopel tend to forget that working for a start-up is a LOAN. [17:02]

mircea_popescu traditional employment of the "that's a firm to put 30 years in with" isn't a loan particularly for that reason. [17:05]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform i know precisely one place where this approach worked. [21:52]
asciilifeform 'The practice is pervaded by the reassuring illusion that programs are just devices like any others, the only difference admitted being that their manufacture might require a new type of craftsmen, viz. programmers. From there it is only a small step to measuring "programmer productivity" in terms of "number of lines of code produced per month". This is a very costly measuring unit because it encourages the writing of insipid [21:52]
asciilifeform code, but today I am less interested in how foolish a unit it is from even a pure business point of view. My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.'

asciilifeform it is worth reading about ancient slave empires [23:03]
asciilifeform particularly relevant here is that of the inca [23:04]

decimation midnightmagic: you would not resort to violence under any circumstances? [23:09]
mircea_popescu so... yes. for as long as the usg is willing to die peacefully, it will die peacefully. and if it wishes to try and make a break for it, all the same, it will die bloodily. [23:09]
mircea_popescu the only point not in contention : it will die. [23:09]
mircea_popescu and i will be there to piss on its grave. [23:09]

mircea_popescu not trying to argue that usg will somehow transmogrify into inca empire when it 'needs to' << ballas is fundamentally (if perhaps unaware-ly) arguing that it already has. that's where his numerous psychanalisis pieces on the public mindset converge. [23:11]
