mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-08#1579712 << there is yet no futures market principally because agreement among the major players keeps the prices stable. the reasonings through which that agreement is distilled however are getting ever more complex this yet holds because everyone involved has a brain the size of staten island and can mostly follow the intricacies + a patience the size of a larger planet's ice caps, so they [07:01]
a111: Logged on 2016-12-08 13:02 Framedragger: diana_coman: ah, good idea, thanks :) [07:01]
mircea_popescu: do follow. neither of these are likely to hold long term and moreover complexity ever increases, so i expect they'll emerge next year or so. [07:01]
mircea_popescu: see http://trilema.com/2016/memoranda-and-shit-like-1800s-high-diplomacy/ re the first point, but yes plenty other examples scattered in the logs see http://logs.minigame.bz/2016-11-29.log.html#t13:20:08 re the later - the reason the contract is not lucrative is because cft is expected to cost 180% in the future because "consensus"-ed. though in fairness the supplies are ever dubious in practice etc - but there's system st [07:05]
mircea_popescu: ickiness in economics not just price stickiness, and esp in chaotic situations it's actually a stronger effect. [07:05]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-08#1579813 << on meditation, this is not at all the case. the boyar was blamed in 1700 for the exact reason the jew was blamed in 1900 : the perception of "optionality" in the sense of http://trilema.com/2013/the-dead-jew-and-the-raped-girl/ strictly drawn along the lines of "the emperor is the gold is the grain is and the famine is disease and war and grass and cunt and penis all are - [07:10]
a111: Logged on 2016-12-08 16:59 asciilifeform: well yes, you blame the d00d who actually worked you to the bone [07:10]
mircea_popescu: but the $enemy DOES!" [07:10]
mircea_popescu: this inadherence to modernism is why russia was modernised via socialism/soviets, not via capitalism/industrialism. [07:11]
mircea_popescu: so no, the peasant didn't blame the boyar because the boyar did something. the peasant doesn't care about that (nor was the doing actually verifiable as such, nor did it likely happen rather than the opposite). the peasant blame the boyar because the boyar was the wrong thing, a do-er rather than an is-er. [07:12]
mircea_popescu: and which is why the "golden toilet" device is so important in trying to sell modernism to traditionalist societies - the point is to show optionality in the desired public enemy. [07:12]
mircea_popescu: it directly mirrors the biblical understanding (god was and lucifer did) and very much explains why "patriotic war" and "peace keeping" and "Defending" and etcetera. the narrative always is "we - were enemy - did we - shall be again". [07:14]
mircea_popescu: this very much because contrary to pretense commonly shared and widely held, modernism was never more than a superficial paint coat over things. [07:14]
mircea_popescu: there's no practical way in which anything can reduce to "doing". even in software. [07:14]
mircea_popescu: (also why so many of the moribund modernist world take refuge in "coding" as they understand it rather than much more obviously productive, satisfiying and accessible venues) [07:15]

goldfinger: allright [07:50]
goldfinger: so what is this party about [07:50]
goldfinger: a rewrite of bitcoin core? [07:50]
Framedragger: it's a small terrorist republic, but i'll leave it to mr. MP [07:50]
mircea_popescu: the most serene republic is a terrorist organisation dedicated to the violent destruction of all fiat constructions, from states on. [07:50]
goldfinger: cool [07:50]
goldfinger: V for vendetta [07:50]
mircea_popescu: also the enslavement of the general population, murder, rape, arson and jaywalking. [07:51]

goldfinger: wow [07:52]
mircea_popescu: ironically, this shows pki for instance ISNT encryption. but we digress. [07:52]
Framedragger: well, its status is prolly still unclear. but basically current govt doesn't really take to end to end encryption, in a more serious manner than previous govts or at least this one managed to push things forward a bit [07:52]
goldfinger: pki? [07:53]
Framedragger: public key insanity [07:53]
goldfinger: im scared [07:53]
mircea_popescu: you know, what the ssh supposedly implements. [07:53]
goldfinger: what should we do [07:53]
mircea_popescu: we should get our key registered with the deedbot and read up the topic / do something useful with ourselves. [07:54]

mircea_popescu: sure but what's that to do with anything ? "on my car which has an engine, adjusting the intake valves does things" "he's got a bycicle!" [11:48]

mircea_popescu: nobody, and certainly not me, prevented python people from moving to sane data structures or anything. [11:49]
asciilifeform: the 'character is byte' thing was baked into the earlier python, conceptually. [11:50]

a111: Logged on 2016-12-08 15:41 asciilifeform: sshello=`timeout -k 0m 3s nc $ip 22` [14:44]
asciilifeform: avoids the util-specific braindamage [14:44]
phf: ben_vulpes: that's sop now. i sort of go for interviewes every month or so to see what's out there, etc. and the past two years i had a lot of http://collabedit.com screenings [14:44]
ben_vulpes: shoulda, yes. [14:44]
Framedragger: trinque: by default it shows how long it sits, but that's about it, by default no headers etc [14:45]
ben_vulpes: phf: i'd rather see someone use the editor they already have set up to attack problems in the domain for which they're under consideration for hiring [14:46]
phf: one place (outsourced quants) brought out three laptops and asked me which environment i prefered, i thought that was pretty classy. (they had a really wide range, because every time someone said something obscure, they'd put it on the machine. like the linux box had emacs, with a lot of package preloaded and reasonably configured, mac box had intellij and such) [14:53]
trinque: Framedragger: would've been interesting to see if it was some kind of misconfigured long-polling HTTP situation or what [14:54]
asciilifeform: phf: classy is when entire contact is over email. [14:54]
phf: but their screening was half hour collabedit and the entirety of it was "here's a problem, now hack, ok half hour's up" [14:55]
asciilifeform: what sort of problem [14:55]
asciilifeform: helloworld? quicksort? [14:55]
asciilifeform: (this was 'generic' programming work..?) [14:55]
trinque: dunno if "what can you do with our configured work env" is very interesting [14:57]
trinque: whether I can code without access to *my* emacs tells someone very little about what I can do with it [14:58]
phf: it was helloworld, but randomized out of a hat. i think it was a number theoretical problem, like here's a property of a number, write a check for that property [14:59]
Framedragger: trinque: yeah, hm. i've seen more than one instance on that. i see what you mean. it was basically a case of, from what i gathered, "data sent waiting for response not a single byte sent back by server". either because server wasn't http, or some "hang forever, fucker" anti-DoS measure.. [14:59]
Framedragger: of that* [14:59]
phf: this is for generic programming but with "maths" involved (i has some background in instrument pricing) [15:00]
trinque: right, packet drop vs rst or w/e [15:00]
asciilifeform: phf: in my experience the exams are never 'skill test' and always purely binary weedout against http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-09#1580234 people [15:01]
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 03:06 mircea_popescu: needless to say this produced "correct" responses through the insufferable avenue of missing out on the problem. [15:01]
asciilifeform: nobody cares how quickly you 'helloworld', but if instead you write down 'why should i have to do this, i expected to see a fat offer!!!' the interviewer learns something quite important. [15:02]
* trinque had an interview at 19 with an ex-msft guy who was later his CEO [15:03]
trinque: guy screamed at me the whole time asking logic riddles [15:03]
trinque: also, a filter [15:03]
asciilifeform: ditto if you came in to work as reverser and the question sheet asks 'what does 'SHL RAX, 1' do ??'c and you write down some nonsense [15:03]
asciilifeform: picture if you were interviewing a freight truck driver and you are presented with a fella who has nfi what is brake, what is gas pedal. [15:05]
asciilifeform: or what gears are [15:05]
trinque: wouldn't it be more interesting to give them a problem that implies they know asm ? i.e. there is a robotic arm in a factory, RISC processor, here are the motions it should perform at these intervals [15:05]
trinque: write controlling code, come back in a week or w/e [15:05]
Framedragger: "work sample tests, motherfuckers" [15:05]
asciilifeform: trinque: example concerned x86 vuln finder/exploiter firms [15:06]
trinque: point is projects as evaluations rather than that kind of baseline shit [15:06]
phf: asciilifeform: right, my point is that there are two separate steps. "filter out" and then "test skillz" [15:06]
asciilifeform: trinque: they would also give problems in other common archs (arm, mips) [15:06]
trinque: so I know how to shift a register, what [15:06]
asciilifeform: trinque: nobody cares that you know. but plenty of folks care if you do ~not~ know! [15:06]
asciilifeform: that's how exams work. [15:06]
* trinque had a job which involved sniffing / mangling packets task to get hired was to write a parser for yahoo IM [15:07]
asciilifeform: phf: 'test skillz' inevitably happens on the job, in live fire. [15:07]
trinque: the code I produced ended up in the actual product [15:07]
asciilifeform: trinque: this was done in exam room ? or at home [15:07]
trinque: at home [15:07]
trinque: over a few days [15:07]
phf: trinque: did they pay you for it? ) [15:07]
trinque: no [15:07]
asciilifeform: lol [15:07]
phf: hehe [15:07]
trinque: they paid with a job [15:07]
trinque: :D [15:08]
phf: yeah, no. [15:08]
asciilifeform: how many folks did they 'pay' with a 'no thx, maybe later, thx for the phreeee code' [15:08]
Framedragger: ( yeah, SV is web scale but SV interviews are not :D ) [15:08]
trinque: I said I was 19 that's light abuse ! [15:08]
trinque: asciilifeform: the job was also in my wot [15:08]
phf: asciilifeform: i feel like that point is long past. i mean, in early 2000s you could get away with that. now if person can produce code ~that you can actually use~ you hire them on the spot, make them the cto :D [15:09]
asciilifeform: trinque: that is like to say, ' i went to this great bordello...' but then turns out the 'bordello' was own bedroom and the woman -- your wife [15:09]
trinque: I guess this guy was oldfag 90s, figured I was the candidate, and that was more of an initiation rite than filter [15:09]
trinque: pretty sad that today that guy would be sued over that interview. [15:23]
phf: those playing cards always give me glimpses of some deep forgotten childhood [15:26]
asciilifeform: phf: it's where i got'em [15:27]
asciilifeform: supposing phf is speaking of mine [15:27]
phf: yes [15:27]
asciilifeform: actually they are from my brother's not-quite-forgotten world [15:27]
asciilifeform: that lost atlantis. [15:28]
phf: card works as good as chinese caliper. cut to GOST 7114-54 within +-0.7mm of allowed error margin. [15:33]
asciilifeform: aha! [15:33]
asciilifeform: phf: caliper incidentally is not chinese, comes with cert from jp ministry of standards [15:33]
asciilifeform: (i did not call'em up and verify the serial... but the thing worx great, is extremely repeatable) [15:34]
asciilifeform: i do not own many 'gold toilets' but that one is quite useful. [15:34]
phf: i know mitutoyo, but the joke doesn't quite work with a jp company. "honorable datskovskiy san received boxes 1 through 5 with replica card prints cut to 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm and 0.7mm allowed error margins, that mitutoyo san found presumptuous to include with own humble compliments" [15:41]

asciilifeform: in related noose, there are at least 6 operating trb nodes, and that is just in the heathen catalogue! ( https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=/therealbitcoin.org:0.9.99.99/ ) and only those with default verstring [15:54]
ben_vulpes: no points for spotting mine [15:56]
asciilifeform: if i had to guess, sk is jurov's [15:56]
asciilifeform: and iirc trinque also had [15:56]
trinque: yep, not listed there [15:57]
trinque: deedbot.org IP [15:57]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu iirc also has at least one, but iirc he's on some year1 version thereof and in fact i have nfi whether it even worx, or he still uses own 'mpb' [15:58]
asciilifeform: trinque: the heathens only list a node if it reports >0.8 iirc. [16:00]
asciilifeform: (entirely blind version num check, they give 0 shit what command set node responds to etc) [16:00]
trinque: I've seen mine on that same site before, but no longer. [16:00]
asciilifeform: iirc they do exactly as you might expect, port scan, and if it's your box's turn and you're in, e.g., blackhole, it'll delist [16:01]
asciilifeform: then, if it's your turn again, and your box answers - it gets displayed [16:01]
asciilifeform: the bulk of the reason i even wrote the 'programmable verstring' patch to begin with is to determine, experimentally, whether enemy would willingly go along with displaying directory of public trb urinals, or not [16:02]
asciilifeform: to get a sense if their overall census is even slightly believable [16:03]
asciilifeform: somewhat surprisingly -- it really is a dumb surveybot, does not seem to do anything peculiar other than the >0.8 test. [16:03]
asciilifeform: (does 0, naturally, to distinguish pseudonodes from nodes or any of this.) [16:04]

phf: ben_vulpes: fyi wotpaste help in "How?" still uses old url [16:07]
ben_vulpes: thanks phf [16:08]
asciilifeform: it still very much itches in asciilifeform's brain that we still do not have any means for fixed peering in trb [16:14]
asciilifeform: ( because - at least as i understand it - it requires the entire spittoon ) [16:14]
ben_vulpes: "fixed peering" as in "connect to these and only these IPs"? [16:18]
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ^^ [16:22]
asciilifeform: no. [16:23]
asciilifeform: 'these-here NODES take absolute priority over others' [16:23]

a111: Logged on 2016-01-20 02:05 asciilifeform: so i will review, for the benefit of non-panzers, the current state [16:25]
ben_vulpes: yes, i recall [16:26]
asciilifeform: every time i go and reopen this can of worms and look at the code, i end up realizing that the thing is ~unfixable [16:28]
asciilifeform: in the sense where there is no mechanism for safely preempting a stalled conversation with another node, or allocating time quanta, or even (gasp) allowing >1 operation across blockchain or mempool in PARALLEL [16:29]
asciilifeform: and to introduce ANY such thing would mutilate, beyond recognition, 'grandfather's pistol'. [16:29]
phf: ben_vulpes: connect to these and only these is a trivial change, since the logic all sits within 30 lines of code, but ^ [16:29]
asciilifeform: sorta why i have not touched trb in quite a spell -- there is nothing left to do that is not 'a mutilation' imho [16:30]
asciilifeform: phf: it is not a trivial change, because if you are not careful you can end up in solipsist world where you can be driven into chain split by a d00d mining on old rusty ford pinto [16:31]
phf: i have a patch that i'm working on that might help towards that goal [16:31]
asciilifeform: (the situation where trb nodes, in the ~collective~, can be persuaded to tune out the heathen world, is precisely it) [16:31]
asciilifeform: mining - afaik - remains a thing that happens among the heathens strictly. [16:32]
phf: right, trivial as specified, unrelated to shooting self at foot [16:32]
asciilifeform: it is like to say that self-appendectomy is trivial. in aspects -- it is. [16:32]
asciilifeform: take knife. cut. [16:33]
phf: su strategy of "assume this self-appendectomy guide is written for leonid rogozov, ignore 80% mortality rate from application" [16:34]
asciilifeform: so long as reader knows where he stands. [16:35]
asciilifeform: the 'fixed peers' thing is actually the tip of a very nontrivial iceberg, because bitcoin was not in fact designed as a 'wotronic' mechanism, and it is not clear that 'nothing to allcomers' is safely retrofittable on it [16:36]
asciilifeform: witness mircea_popescu's frustrations every time he transmits a tx and nothing happens [16:36]
phf: sshh it'll start that thread that you had with mp again [16:36]
asciilifeform: ( or yours, or mine ) [16:36]
asciilifeform: lel [16:37]
asciilifeform: my point is that artificially rationing connections to trb will lead to ~slower~ propagation, rather than faster -- unless it alleviates severa spamola, as my 'banhammer' did [16:39]
asciilifeform: *severe [16:39]
asciilifeform: this is because there is -- and afaik to this very day -- a thick layer of prb between any of us and any miner. [16:39]
asciilifeform: ( if anyone can come up with a rigorous experiment to measure the whether and how-much of this -- do speak up.) [16:40]
asciilifeform: incidentally : for so long as block verification remains O(N) and serial, trb is vulnerable to a very trivial malformed-block ddos [16:46]
asciilifeform: (whereas parallelizing it would entail getting rid of the hundreds of idiot global locks, and the ensuing wtf) [16:47]
asciilifeform: if enemy had even half of its shit together, instead of busying itself with imbecile alt-scams, we would have some problems. [16:47]
