mircea_popescu: reydev thanks for reporting. [11:04]
reydev: while i'm up, can i ask wrt qntra, is it meant to be non-profit? as in, is the idea that shareholders are like sponsors? [11:07]
thestringpuller: qntra has ways to monetize beyond having consumers paying shareholders [11:08]
mircea_popescu: reydev why non profit ? it's currently worth more than gawker. [11:09]
mircea_popescu: seems rather profitable. [11:09]

mircea_popescu: ah cool. [11:12]
reydev: anyhow, i dont see the revenue model for qntra if there is any, is there something to read about it? [11:14]
mircea_popescu: if qntra sells to... i dunno, who hasn't bought anything in a while, apple say ? for a perfectly market-reasonable hundred billion dollars, then a shareholder that bought however many shares for however many bitcents will receive however many hundreds of millions of dollars. [11:18]
mircea_popescu: that's the revenue model of EVERYTHING else, why'd you go "i don't see the qntra revenue model" ? do you go around saying "i don't see the linkedin revenue model" ? [11:19]
mircea_popescu: because i expect you should. [11:19]
asciilifeform: who, i wonder, would continue to write for qntra after this hypothetical crapocalypse ? [11:20]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seeing how it comes with 1 bitcent = 100mn dollars, i would expect EVERYONE. [11:20]
asciilifeform: (and why would, e.g., crapple, buy it? other than to kill) [11:20]
mircea_popescu: think : who's raping who here ? the game is not "does usg rape us or doesn't it". it's "have raped it yet ?" not binary but unary, only one final state available. [11:20]

reydev: i doubt it [11:22]
mircea_popescu: but for the shareholders ? [11:22]
reydev: probably big time yeah [11:22]
mircea_popescu: no media item in the history of items was ever profitable in the aluminum siding sense of profitability. [11:22]
mircea_popescu: chiefly because... they're not in the business of turning out aluminum siding. [11:22]

mircea_popescu: but maybe you like being on lists. [11:50]
asciilifeform: can get on list for phreee. [11:51]
asciilifeform: why pay. [11:51]
mircea_popescu: some people prefer to pay, what can i tell ye. [11:51]
asciilifeform: 'has a machinable area of 8.25″ x 2.95″ x 2.35″, optimized for machining AR-15 and AR-10 receivers' << mega-l0l [11:55]
asciilifeform: ~useless for pretty much anything else... [11:55]
mircea_popescu: so if i'm going to make like... three ? receivers, why buy this cuisinart for 1500 when i could just buy 3 guns and a six ounce bag from tyrone ? [11:56]
asciilifeform: recall, it cannot even make ONE from billet [11:56]
asciilifeform: you still have to order the 'eightypercent' from some vendor [11:56]
asciilifeform: and get on THAT list also. [11:56]
mircea_popescu: can you even get what you call "billet", but really is special alloy for rifle parts ? [11:56]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ar(m16) 'receiver' is not a pressurized part, it just holds the mag and the trigger clockwork [11:57]
asciilifeform: folks have made them from wood, etc. [11:57]
asciilifeform: the traditional item is made of ordinary aluminum. [11:57]
mircea_popescu: yes, sure. if i was selling a rifle, and it had a wooden reciever, would you buy it ? [11:57]
mircea_popescu: how about house with cardboard roof ? [11:57]
asciilifeform: not unless there were no proper ones to be had. [11:58]
mircea_popescu: how about wife, slightly used, slightly overweight ? [11:58]
mircea_popescu: exactly. [11:58]
jurov: you can't cast the 80% there receiver yourself? [11:58]
mircea_popescu: so i should pay 1500 in new capital outlay to produce replacements for... roadkill ?! [11:58]
asciilifeform: jurov: can't cast the thread [11:58]
asciilifeform: jurov: the thing starts life as a casting, yes, though. [11:58]
mircea_popescu: jurov from aluminum ?! with what, a 300 amp house wiring arrangement ? [11:58]
jurov: oh it can't machine the thread? [11:58]
asciilifeform: jurov: nope. [11:58]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: folks cast aluminum in jungle conditions all the time, it is not so hard. [11:59]
asciilifeform: easier, really, than the machining. [11:59]
jurov: mircea_popescu prolly confused casting and smelting [11:59]
mircea_popescu: well i was going a little further up the tree. [12:00]
asciilifeform: e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHD10DjxM1g [12:00]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but it'll get bubbly. [12:00]
mircea_popescu: what's aluminium, like silver et all, < 1k ? [12:00]
mircea_popescu: melting temperature i mean [12:01]
asciilifeform: ~700c [12:01]
mircea_popescu: 660 yeah [12:01]
mircea_popescu: o check it out, tor finally going to meet ripple in that happy space over the horizon ? [12:02]
mircea_popescu: good fucking riddance. [12:02]
asciilifeform: lel if only [12:03]
mircea_popescu: "Tonga will be permanently shut down and all associated crytographic keys destroyed on 2016-08-31. This should give the Tor developers ample time to stand up a substitute. I will terminate the chron job we set up so many years ago at that time that copies over the descriptors." << if there were a bitbet i'd put a little on "there will not be a replacement in time" [12:03]
asciilifeform: one particular monkey got tired and handed off the master index box to other [12:03]
* asciilifeform has long wondered: whether tmsr will have a new bitbet [12:04]
asciilifeform: it was a handy thing [12:05]
mats: on the subject, anyone for some ad hoc btcusd options? [12:05]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, officially-in-universe, all sorts of things happening for ripple also. to quote, "FXCH Ltd. clears first Blockchain-settled institutional Spot-FX trades", "Ripple named one of top 5 fintechs by Fortune Mazagine" etc etc. [12:06]
mircea_popescu: mats what'd you use as a price signal ? [12:06]
mats: bitstamp :( [12:06]
mircea_popescu: mno. [12:06]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it will be an interesting anal piercing moment for the tor aficionados - EVERYBODY gets to 'upgrade' [12:07]
asciilifeform: (the directory server is hardcoded in, iirc) [12:07]
mircea_popescu: aww. [12:07]
asciilifeform: this includes the exit operators. [12:07]
jurov: mats: you want just speculation or delivery? [12:07]
mircea_popescu: good thing you can't use timings and other side channels to unmaks them when such a thing happens. [12:07]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'unmask', turns out, isn't nearly 'user-friendly' enough for nsa, they would also like arbitrary ram r/w into the chumpers [12:08]
asciilifeform: ergo 'upgrade!1111 nao!11' [12:08]
mircea_popescu: heh [12:08]
mircea_popescu: so is anyone going to actually bother a) factoring the ssh keys found weak b) go own the machines, copy over their ssh agent c) hack it apart see wtf caused the collisions ? [12:09]
asciilifeform: we had this thread: unmasking is only effective when there IS somebody interesting to unmask. at other times, you gotta emplace that cocaine into the toilet tank. [12:09]
mircea_popescu: you can be on the same list and don't even have to spend 1500 dubaloos. [12:09]
mats: jurov: speculation [12:09]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty clear to the naked eye. dsl modem. [12:10]
mircea_popescu: how did it manage to collide ? [12:10]
asciilifeform: factory-baked ssh key [12:10]
asciilifeform: these turn up regularly. [12:10]
mircea_popescu: but it's not the same key. [12:10]
mircea_popescu: if it's factory baked, how come the collisions only happen in C blocks ? [12:10]

asciilifeform: and yes [12:19]
mats: that includes unprocessed? [12:19]
asciilifeform: mats: every single thing gets processed every 4h [12:20]
mircea_popescu: no, about 10mn ssh keys, total [12:20]

mats: ok [12:20]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/phuctored << gotta do something about that page. [12:20]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what, specifically [12:21]
asciilifeform: i kept it a 1pager so i can grep [12:21]
asciilifeform: http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/3BAE60DEFC1A4CF00D95455C8C27D08F0B7F770A80EBB11FAAD24306BAAB8DB7 << check it out. [12:21]

asciilifeform: (the dupes page is a rogue's gallery of these.) [12:22]
mircea_popescu: it's a 550kb page! [12:22]
mircea_popescu: miles long. [12:22]
asciilifeform: my current hypothesis is that enemy was a little more clever than reported by the bocks, and divided dupe keys into equivalence classes [12:22]
mircea_popescu: if you want a csv version, why not make that. if you're making a html version, should have pages. [12:23]
mircea_popescu: this "middle of the road" thing is bad for both usecases : when you grep it you waste bw on html crud meanwhile browsing luser is stuck. [12:23]
asciilifeform: it is painful but: i kept the proggy short, and it is - afaik - bug-free. [12:24]
asciilifeform: as soon as i add this'n'that, it will turn into whorepress. [12:24]
mircea_popescu: don't worry, sucking cock doesn't make you a whore! [12:24]
asciilifeform: at some point i will add paged-by-default and 'view-all' link for grep [12:25]
asciilifeform: but doing just about anything to this beast is a misery bordering on self-appendectomy [12:25]

asciilifeform: tall piles of dupe keys. [12:28]
mircea_popescu: 60+ instances of different ips using same key ? [12:28]
asciilifeform: typically from a single /16. [12:28]
asciilifeform: aha. [12:29]
mircea_popescu: this must be some sort of gateway arrangement. [12:29]
mircea_popescu: alternatively, nobody could foresee the terrorists will use ssh keys as rsa unifying underlying, so they're entirely unprepared for any of this [12:29]
mircea_popescu: in which case, it definitely should be pushed. [12:29]
asciilifeform: there isn't much further to push the dupe thing, other than cataloguing the champs [12:29]
asciilifeform: and printing in moar convenient format [12:29]
asciilifeform: 'modulus M : 1,001 ips: ...' etc [12:30]
mircea_popescu: aha. [12:30]
mircea_popescu: well, at least it offers a hierarchy of "in which order to factor keys" [12:30]
mircea_popescu: this afaik didn't exist on the open nets afore. [12:30]
asciilifeform: it is a valid point: there is no physical way to distinguish 'all connected to same box' from 'boxes with dupe key' [12:31]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the one important thing you should add is "search by ip" [12:31]
asciilifeform: could search by generic string, but it'll be slow. [12:31]
asciilifeform: 'ip' is not a field in my db !! [12:32]
asciilifeform: we went over this. [12:32]
asciilifeform: having ANY new fields would make the thing 100x more complex. [12:32]
asciilifeform: use grep. [12:32]
mircea_popescu: at the very least you could make another page, "ips by factors found" [12:32]
mircea_popescu: then people can search in that. [12:32]
asciilifeform: this, yes. [12:32]

asciilifeform: it would not take long to snarf them up and 2d plot by ip [13:38]
asciilifeform: (a mod with 2 or more ips gets a colour plot each ip on the traditional 2d grid, and connect with line of that colour.) [13:39]

asciilifeform: (if it were a commercial thing, it would probably live on a large farm) [13:50]
asciilifeform: Framedragger: not iirc. [13:50]
asciilifeform: it has a tremendous qty of ram, without which whole experiment would be quite impossible [13:51]
Framedragger: ..cause you need to keep the eight-ball in memory, right? [13:51]

asciilifeform: eightball is an afterthought really [13:52]

asciilifeform: staticly. [14:05]
Framedragger: understood. well, so it is. i do recall being able to full text search decently once it loaded. but, okay, browsers suck [14:05]
Framedragger: asciilifeform: yeah that'd be pretty.. sane [14:05]
asciilifeform: thing has cache right now but it is good for 10 min. / page. [14:06]
jurov: if alf did csv, he could just keep appending to the static file [14:06]
trinque: asciilifeform: RSS too? [14:06]
asciilifeform: jurov: understand, there has to be a db, because ALL mods get bernsteined against ALL mods AND the 8ball. [14:06]

asciilifeform: trinque: sure [14:07]
trinque: I don't mind either way [14:07]
jurov: asciilifeform: i did not say you have to abandon db! [14:07]
trinque: but if that'll be nightly, I expect there'll be big farts of RSS at phuctor-o'clock [14:07]
asciilifeform: well i ain't appending to anything [14:07]
asciilifeform: problem is, phuctor unfortunately cannot be made 100% static [14:08]
asciilifeform: because this would entail a page for EVERY key and fp [14:08]
asciilifeform: i know of no file system that would not choke. [14:08]

mircea_popescu: i'm thinking the way this will end up is to separate the data processing data acquisition and data dissemination. evidently people good at any of these aren't good at the others, and have incredibly elaborate excuses for maintaining the situation that likely aren't worth cutting through. [15:19]
mircea_popescu: sort-of what's been happening with the wot, for instance, anyway. [15:19]
mircea_popescu: i guess some work poured into a semblance of unified dissemination interface is unavoidable, hence the shinohai wp project. [15:20]
asciilifeform: processing and dissemination are not always separable. [15:21]
asciilifeform: i would say that in the case of phuctor, they are not. [15:21]

mircea_popescu: for instance, it'd evident we want : a) csv, for to grep b) tmsr-html, which is NOT html, and not just because it does not allow js c) tmsr-svg, which i'm going to pretend is svg, because gnarly. somewhere inbetween b and c a latex fits in as previously discussed in logs. [15:29]

mircea_popescu: trinque basically, it should be conceptualized not as a "this is a sheet i printed this and that on" but more like "what'd you like in your plate here ?" [15:44]
trinque: certainly so. [15:45]
mircea_popescu: which is why trilema, or qntra, have, say, a FUCKING ARCHIVE PAGE [15:45]
mircea_popescu: but the "media properties", from "one side" to "the other same side" of "the spectrum" ... do not. [15:45]
mircea_popescu: a tiny example, but indicative of the conceptual difference. [15:45]
trinque: I confess to having already written parts of the thing. [15:45]
mircea_popescu: ha! [15:45]
trinque: :D [15:45]
mircea_popescu: in short : the web is very, very broken - but most of the breakage isn't even in the software. yes apache sucks and wtf is js even. [15:47]
mircea_popescu: the big problem is that lazy thinkers and "hopefuls" of all stripes have made it into their comfortable home. this can't fucking stand. [15:47]
asciilifeform: this is almost the c machine thread again. [15:47]
asciilifeform: even if you expel the vermin, the medium is still verminiferous. [15:48]
asciilifeform: browser is profoundly brain-damaged by design. [15:48]
trinque: it can be used as no more sophisticated a thing than a cmdline tool that shits text [15:48]
trinque: *the output thereof [15:48]
asciilifeform: trinque: which it ? [15:48]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform once there exist as many as five proper pages, you can have a proper browser. [15:49]
mircea_popescu: trinque i was more thinking lynx but yea [15:49]
trinque: lynx shall work [15:49]
asciilifeform: anyone ever tempted to revive gopher ? [15:49]
mircea_popescu: notrly. [15:50]
mircea_popescu: imo gopher sucked. [15:50]
asciilifeform: in some ways it was closer to the hypothetical item in this thread than any variant of www. [15:50]
trinque: in either case, the thing can be written such that www is not a large part of what it is [15:50]
mircea_popescu: and a goat is closer to a young woman than any old whore - it's tighter down there. [15:51]
trinque: relatedly I'm about to drop a vpatch for cmdbot [15:51]
trinque: which is the core of deedbot [15:51]
mircea_popescu: win. [15:51]
trinque: thing's written such that it would hop atop gossipd and provide commands just as easily [15:51]
mircea_popescu: splendid. [15:51]
trinque: one part eats IRC and writes to postgresql, sends pg_notify to connected db clients that there are new rows another listens for new rows in an outbox table to write to the chan [15:52]
trinque: services attach to db [15:52]
mircea_popescu: going back to history for a minute here - at first there was the text internet and then as bw and hdds grew up and people could have gifs of samatha fox's snatch rather than ascii art of same, they all rushed to... basically, this shitfest of netscape, internet exploder etc. [15:52]
mircea_popescu: time to take that shit back, just because "it has images" is no excuse for the existence of say firefox. [15:53]
mircea_popescu: or outright atrocities like chrome. [15:53]
mircea_popescu: trinque what is this, python ? [15:53]
trinque: common lisp [15:53]
mircea_popescu: ah [15:54]
mircea_popescu: i didn't realise lisp is practically useful. [15:54]

Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-18#1505151 << possibly this can be hacked up by putting data into postgres, and then allowing read-only sql access via one of them web-access-to-your-db things. [15:56]
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 19:37 trinque: the missing tool here sounds like a generic reporting engine that speaks SQL and farts graphs, CSV [15:56]
Framedragger: but i, too, am interested in taking a stab at a sane implementation, fwiw! [15:56]
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ssd would help much on that machine i'd suspect, if it's really i/o bound, as simplistic as it sounds [15:57]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seeking. but really i'd rather optimize the proggy than add to the (already gigantic) recurring cost. [15:57]
asciilifeform: my best thought so far is the nightly static html thing. [15:57]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in principle i could get a bank of 4 ssd's in a raid which should make it faster-than-ram [15:57]
asciilifeform: the more i think about it, the more the static thing seems like the correct pill. [15:58]
Framedragger: won't be fast than ram, what are you smoking :) [15:58]
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you make a proper profiling sometime we can go through it and see. but, you're right wrt squeezing the software first if it can be squeezed. [15:58]
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i'm smoking drives :D [15:59]
Framedragger: then.. plz continue :D [15:59]
Framedragger: re sane web, there were semi-decent attempts which have made use of. for example, declare db model in python file, make $framework produce a working api over that model, incl implementing all the http methods corresponding to operations (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) [16:00]
mircea_popescu: Framedragger for the sake of argument : ddr3 does say 2k cycles and latency is about 10 proper ssd does what, 100k iops on a 4k block ? [16:01]
Framedragger: dunno but numbers make sense to me [16:01]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~1 order of magnitude diff. [16:01]
trinque: Framedragger: those completely suck. [16:01]
trinque: the structure is already in the database catalog [16:01]
trinque: why duplicate it [16:02]
asciilifeform: ^ [16:02]
Framedragger: trinque: well.. eventually they do once you stretch them [16:02]
mircea_popescu: so then your ram can do 200 iops and a quad ssd raid can do about 300k. ie, 10^3 moar :D [16:02]
Framedragger: ... "something is not right" [16:02]
mircea_popescu: {:=))) [16:02]
Framedragger: trinque: you can *declare* your catalog in said py file, and make $framework build db for you etc. but sure, it's still shitty [16:03]
trinque: so then why do it? [16:03]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it doesn't matter what you hang off pci, there is a ~10x variance of front-side vs back-side bus [16:03]
Framedragger: trinque: saves lots of time, for one, and quite a bit of redundancy. don't need to manually implement api endpoints etc [16:03]
shinohai: http://archive.is/62oC4 <<< tor replacement supposedly being researched by, ait for it, MIT! [16:04]
asciilifeform: Framedragger: this may very well turn out to be an ai-complete program, because most gigantic db have various optimizations for speed, that do not map in a straightforward way to display. [16:04]
trinque: the right way to build this is to have a table which points to a view name, an output type, some field mappings from the outputs of the view to the parameters of the output type [16:04]
trinque: wtf is complicated about that [16:04]
trinque: AI my foot [16:04]
asciilifeform: i was specifically speaking of schema design. [16:05]
trinque: you write a view and plug it into one of a few data shitters [16:05]
asciilifeform: now this, yes. [16:05]
* Framedragger hoodwinked by mp's cycles vs iops [16:05]

Framedragger: trinque: so many enemies.. flask, too? [16:06]

trinque: Framedragger: no harm in duplicating effort if it's instructive go head [16:07]
Framedragger: wait, who did? confused [16:07]
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ^ [16:07]

mircea_popescu: $s flask [16:07]
a111: 29 results for "flask", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=flask [16:07]
trinque: every $framework poorly duplicates information and functionality already in a proper db [16:08]
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ah! flask is useful and quick to prototype on, fwiw [16:08]
Framedragger: trinque: no but i agree and won't argue the opposite! [16:09]
asciilifeform: aha, i used it [16:09]
trinque: poor ben_vulpes is gonna be in for a triggering when he catches up on logs [16:09]
asciilifeform: was sorta stuck with it, because the rfc4880 parser was a python lib, and i did not have time to write one from scratch. [16:10]
asciilifeform: so it pulled in the whole shebang. [16:10]

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: maybe only place having pr0n pics intermixed with latin and greek, say which is something [16:27]
mircea_popescu: anyway, one good thing gopher had that's still sorely missed was, you'd query someone's org and get their email. [16:27]
mircea_popescu: this at a time email was a very different beast also. [16:27]
Framedragger: yeah i have this stupid nostalgia for things of that kind even though i haven't experienced them myself >.< [16:28]
mircea_popescu: anyway it's not a case of "omg gopher was so great". to get an idea, think "navigate web through excel spreadsheet" [16:29]
asciilifeform: it was almost a glorified ftp. [16:29]
mircea_popescu: it was fundamentally flawed, among other things, by a structure externality. [16:29]
asciilifeform: the reason to remember it is - to recall that html-style 'payload can be anything and arbitrarily grungy' retardation is not the only way. [16:29]
mircea_popescu: (ie, it relied on you having a mental map of structure which it wouldn't render, or not render well. without it, it was unusable, which is why the illiterate couldn't use it well, didn't like to use it at all, and the "free form" html prevailed) [16:30]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is the only way if you're going to have people with 0 in common use your thing. [16:30]
