veen: the cathedral commenting on milo's downright-clintonian, hair-splitting defense of his pederasty practice: [00:37]
veen: http://archive.is/QLSAy << "'Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty,' [Yiannopoulos] adds, dismissing the fact that 13-year-olds are children.” [00:37]
veen: > the fact [00:37]
mircea_popescu: well, historically pedophilia is a sort of homosexuality. it got a little coopted to mean "children", it really is little boys. [00:45]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah. just like "brits" have no idea what rotterham is all about. [00:48]
mircea_popescu: libertards' pipedream chiefly consists of this deranged notion that i must seek and obtain his permission to know things. it wasn't on wikipedia therefore it mayn't exist. [00:50]

veen: mircea_popescu: indeed, and milo understands this. the nyt's obstinate refusal to entertain the distinction is so very quaint [00:58]
mircea_popescu: which milo is this ? [00:58]
veen: milo, son of mr t., regent of brietbart, premier of getting deleted from twitter, &c, &c [01:01]

mircea_popescu: oh the twitter famous dude. [01:05]
veen: aye [01:10]
mircea_popescu: oh btw ben_vulpes BingoBoingo watched (bout half hour of) cringe. it's basically http://trilema.com/2016/tangerine/ except the junkie is "male" rather than "female". [01:13]
mircea_popescu: entirely beyond me why there'd be two of these seeing how there's no need for one. [01:14]
ben_vulpes: ohai veen [02:30]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what is this cringe? [02:31]
mircea_popescu: crank [09:10]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes dja know the guy ? [09:17]
trinque: for all this crowing about "this is who I am", these milo types almost always got diddled as a kid by somebody. [09:57]
trinque: surely these things are unrelated. [09:57]
mircea_popescu: well... for all the crowing about "this is who i am", these heterosexual females almopst always got diddled as a kid by somebody also. [09:58]
mircea_popescu: kinda how womanhood becomes, neh ? [09:58]
mircea_popescu: "oh my god, AND HE HAS A CAR" [09:58]
trinque: sure, but I'm not asking the guy who lost the race what he thinks acceptable males look like [10:00]
mircea_popescu: i thought he's discussing what he thinks acceptable female-impersonating malkes look like [10:03]
mircea_popescu: then again i'm entirely unfamiliar with the no doubt extensive (in 140 byte increments) body of work in question. [10:03]

trinque: ^ gentleman in ben_vulpes' meatwot, smart fella. [10:05]
mircea_popescu: is this the $bizpartner in logs ? [10:05]
trinque: yep, I'll otherwise let ben_vulpes make intros [10:06]
mircea_popescu: well good you fellows said something, because $next out of my mouth was going to be something along the lines of "hey, since you're so voluble but clearly nontechnical, how about you write something for qntra". [10:08]
trinque: lol [10:08]
BingoBoingo: Hey, write something for qntra anyway before you go touching tech knobs [10:12]
mircea_popescu: not a bad approach altogether. [10:17]
mircea_popescu: should be a step in between "hi" and "ok, go write your own v implementation / log bot". "write the news, man" could work as well. [10:17]
ben_vulpes: aye, that's him [10:59]
ben_vulpes: runs a tight ship, i'm proud to serve with the man. [11:06]
mircea_popescu: so what's he, like the business mind in that cascadian outfit of yours ? [11:07]
BingoBoingo: He prolly does everything while ben_vulpes maeks baby and IRC's [11:08]
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder how you think babies are made bb. [11:08]
ben_vulpes: clearly you staple them together from human parts one finds at walmart [11:09]
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha [11:09]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: after four years of constant close collaboration we're pretty hot swappable [11:09]
mircea_popescu: how porny did that sound! [11:10]
ben_vulpes: it's real gay [11:10]
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> clearly you staple them together from human parts one finds at walmart << You spray a big glob of expanding foam and then gab hammer to smith glob into baby shape [11:10]
trinque: thought it was that pink slime they use at mcdonalds [11:11]
BingoBoingo: Pink slime spoils eventually, polyurethane endures. Makes weather resistant baby [11:12]
mircea_popescu: this discussion is oddly in line with the latest trilema. [11:12]
ben_vulpes: anyways, the man stands on his own feet. [11:13]
BingoBoingo: !~later tell veen Please 2 submit a Qntra piece on clozure's connections to the Pizza Pedos [11:14]

BingoBoingo: Gotta take Lord vulpes at his word! [11:16]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: going to watch westworld instead of the statham crap anytime soon? [11:17]
mircea_popescu: i tried. meh. [11:18]
mircea_popescu: where ed harris / anthony hopkins go to die / [11:18]
ben_vulpes: you didn't even like the whores?! [11:19]
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/mps-wonderful-primary-school-furniture-item-idea/ << Trilema - MP's wonderful primary school furniture item idea [11:20]
mircea_popescu: which whores ? [11:20]
ben_vulpes: a quick skim of something purporting to be a script for ep1 suggests they don't show up in episode one! [11:23]
mircea_popescu: you don't mean the rail skin bitchy dorks in the texas bar pretending to be "in the wild west" do you ? [11:24]
ben_vulpes: yeah dems [11:24]
hanbot: mircea_popescu would prolly like it better in reverse sequence, but damage's prolly done [11:24]
mircea_popescu: you've got to be kidding me. [11:24]
ben_vulpes: quite a bit of whorin and dyin [11:25]
mircea_popescu: here's the thing ben_vulpes : that item is contrived, badly, because made by people who have absolutely no life experience beyond the water cooler and no substantial understanding of anything, and i do mean anything, including their own feet. [11:25]
ben_vulpes: hanbot: alas [11:25]
mircea_popescu: now, to best explain this point, we will look at what lays closest to home. so : the relationship between the "machiavellian" advertising dork and the "professional" ceo woman or w/e she is [11:26]
mircea_popescu: DOES NOT WORK! [11:26]
mircea_popescu: there's a whole lot of bickering, pointless and evidently there for the needs of inept script writers who "we didn't know how to write for a woman", except thye don't know how to write for powerful people, or ambitious people, or in general people. notwithstanding they maintain delusions of belonging to some/all those categories. [11:27]
mircea_popescu: this same problem is present throughout. those whores don't work, at all, much like whatever engine your kid will make in two years won't work. [11:27]
mircea_popescu: what varies is how obvious it is, but at the core, the whole thing is someone's splooge spread out on a napkin pretending to be "an idea". it's not an idea, partly because it doesn't use ink, and partly because those aren't letters. [11:28]
asciilifeform: meanwhile, archive.is outage. [11:28]
asciilifeform: these are becoming a regular thing. [11:29]
mircea_popescu: lol that name is so well chosen. "archive.is outage!" [11:29]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: oya, those are the worst scenes [11:33]
ben_vulpes: dunno who'd watch ww for anything other than the rape, titties, and watching the robots suffer through endless reincarnations sort-of remembering things [11:34]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2017/mps-wonderful-primary-school-furniture-item-idea/#comment-121385 [11:35]
mircea_popescu: would have helped if they didn't PUT the worst scenes in there at all. [11:39]
mircea_popescu: otherwise it's like going to a brothel where this petite asian DOES suck your cock on her knees looking up, however the whole place reeks of cabbage stu and there's a naggy old woman always heard in the background. [11:39]
asciilifeform: aaand it's back, https://archive.is/NsL47 << looks like usg tested $wunderwaffen on kjn then satisfied that 0 detection then zapped ambassador churkin with same. [11:40]
mircea_popescu: possibru. [11:41]
asciilifeform: 'Determining whether poison killed the half brother of North Korea’s leader in a busy airport is proving difficult for Malaysian officials, who said on Tuesday that autopsy results have so far been inconclusive. ... Kim did not suffer a heart attack and had no puncture wounds, such as those a needle would have left ... ' [11:41]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: it's an american cultural artifact ca. 2016 let us marvel that the scriptwriters were allowed to ship the scene where ed harris drags blondie into a shed by her hair [11:45]
mircea_popescu: i kinda went through a whole pile of this in the 80s, tyvm but i didn't think it was very good back then, either. [11:45]
mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit what half-assed performance dumbass delivers "within the constraints of her education" [11:46]
mircea_popescu: naked on the street, now. [11:46]
ben_vulpes: well see that's your problem, you have standards and a breadth of experience and shit [11:47]
mircea_popescu: yeah, that'd be it. [11:47]
asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://archive.is/bjvxr << oven candidates rehearse for oven [11:47]
ben_vulpes: all americans have is this vague conviction that nothing is good, and that some things are less shite than others. [11:47]
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/4WtAT << goes with previous. mr.t is being set up as '“The President’s sudden acknowledgement is a Band-Aid on the cancer of anti-Semitism that has infected his own administration,” Steven Goldstein, executive director of the Anne Frank Center ...' [11:57]
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is an anne frank center. [12:02]
trinque: Trump used a morning visit to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture to offer his condemnation << wahaha, "what group of whiners is this again? oh whatever" [12:02]
mircea_popescu: we should probably make a barrack obama center. [12:02]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they did, they called it 'museum of african american history' [12:02]
asciilifeform: massive brutalist box in formerly empty space near washington monument [12:02]

jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded. [12:03]
mircea_popescu: and in other 2014s, http://trilema.com/2014/a-humble-proposal-to-bitcoin-miners/ [12:17]
asciilifeform: sooooooo.... ACHTUNG, PANZERS! i found ~one~ heretofore-undiscovered cause of black hole: [12:34]
shinohai: >.> [12:35]
asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=0.6.1rc1#2691 << prb 0.6.1rc1 introduced a 'heartbeat' mechanism, where a prb node seeing ver. > 60000 ( see http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/version.h?v=0.6.1rc1#0045 ) sends 'pings' and expects back 'pong' [12:35]
asciilifeform: so they see trb set to, e.g., 99999 (as mine, for instance, are) and goes ping,ping,ping,motherfucker,ping,ping,whywontchapong [12:36]
asciilifeform: this soaks up precious single-threaded sockets... [12:36]
asciilifeform: box falls behind, loses peers, begins to sink into classical blackhole behaviour (as it gets dropped by everybody, including fellow trb nodes) [12:37]
mircea_popescu: i thought we had thread re filtering out prb pings [12:38]
asciilifeform: did we?! [12:38]
asciilifeform: link plox? [12:38]
mircea_popescu: ugh [12:38]
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu's old node declared 60000 compatibility. so it probably gets same treatment from prb peers [12:39]
asciilifeform: did it 'pong' back ? or drop'em ? or wat. [12:40]
mircea_popescu: well now i can't fucking find it. obviously. [12:40]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it drops them. and i am pretty clearly remembering we talking about this in the early days of trb and foundation [12:41]
mircea_popescu: (it drops them = it simply discards the pings) [12:41]
asciilifeform: well we also right now discard the pings. [12:41]
asciilifeform: but what this results in is a deadweight peer [12:41]
asciilifeform: because ~he~ 1) sits on the socket + 2) won't talk [12:41]
asciilifeform: enough of these, and you get one type of blackhole. [12:42]
mircea_popescu: nah, the actual peer doesn't get them [12:42]
asciilifeform: he doesn't get a 'pong' back, and so sits there like idiot [12:42]
asciilifeform: doing nothing and occupying socket. [12:42]
asciilifeform: eventually he disconnects, but does not add us to his ban list, and so the process repeats, ad infinitum. [12:42]
mircea_popescu: we add him to ours though [12:43]
asciilifeform: we could. [12:43]
asciilifeform: could simply add anybody who emits a 'ping' to banlist. [12:43]
mircea_popescu: this pingdom thing is an inadvertent marker for cowboy node [12:44]
mircea_popescu: (ie, not infrastructural element) [12:44]
trinque: ping is not already considered a heathen command? [12:44]
asciilifeform: trinque: as a matter of fact, no: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#2097 << it was grandfathered in [12:46]
asciilifeform: in the sense that i left lines 2097..2099 live, when introduced 'malleus' [12:46]
asciilifeform: it is possible to remove'em, trivially. this will result in banning 'pingers' and a hard break with prbnet. [12:46]
trinque: ah yep, there it is [12:47]
mircea_popescu: it won't actually break with prbnet, mostly because prbnet is not actually run on prb nodes. they just connect to it. [12:47]
mircea_popescu: sort-of how apple doesn't run osx on whatever servers the ipads connect to. [12:48]
asciilifeform: whatthehell is 'prbnet' if not the swamp of prb nodes. [12:48]
mircea_popescu: "lightning network" [12:50]
* asciilifeform not familiar [12:50]
mircea_popescu: basically sometime in 2014 the fake bitcoin dorks discovered that their "technology" doesn't work, and sort-of split it into "the working part" and "the frontend part". they evolved undesignedly sort-of independetly, now there's a shambling abomination and a writhing horror. [12:51]
mircea_popescu: at that point, the writhing horror (which you think of as prb) had about 10x as many loc as trb does by now it's 100x. [12:51]
mircea_popescu: the shambling abomination started life as this "optimization" by blue mat that others (esp the ones trying to have shit work, rather than engaged in pure github livejournalry) clung on to. but then it got discontinued [12:52]
mircea_popescu: so various almost working assemblaged got ad-hoced in its place. [12:52]
mircea_popescu: the poor situation of the shambling abomination is the deep reason for repeated humiliations delivered recently to blockchain.info for instance. [12:52]
mircea_popescu: it's approaching breaking point, evidently. [12:52]
mircea_popescu: as the "business" (in the sense of pretending to sv vc, that sorty of thing) portion of the larger prb ecosystem is running into a very marked bitcoin winter (recall, bitpay axed most of the crew a year ago), the ramen support for the "tech" side of prb (various mendacious scumbags like luke-jr, assorted imbeciles like taaki or that idiot who emailed the entire customer base the email addresses of the entire customer base, "p [12:55]
mircea_popescu: hantomcircuit") find it harder and harder to cling on to their pretense actively. [12:55]
mircea_popescu: ie, we survived summer of forks, wheel turned, now they hafta survive winter of dorks. dun look so well for them, but we see. [12:55]
mircea_popescu: i think that about covers it. questions ? [12:56]
asciilifeform: to revisit upstack, i set up tcpdump on blackholed dulap and recorded [13:18]
asciilifeform: found quite a few wtf [13:18]
asciilifeform: for instance, some nodes send 'multipings', [13:18]
asciilifeform: single message containing 3,4,5 pings ! [13:18]
asciilifeform: 68.10.122.122 for instance. [13:19]
mircea_popescu: this is (at least by my lights) the result of running node on vps. interface optimizes the message on the outbound [13:19]
mircea_popescu: "gaming server" etc. [13:19]
asciilifeform: entirely possible [13:20]
asciilifeform: the other interesting tidbit is that a blackhole node is often spoken to (by would-be peers) but never once speaks [13:20]
mircea_popescu: if you recall during the original blackhole debate, this was the argument in favour of "at fault is the broken node code" [13:20]
asciilifeform: something that was sent to it, much earlier, gums up the works [13:21]
veen: BingoBoingo: at which address are qntra submissions accepted? [13:24]
mircea_popescu: veen do it like so : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-21#1616161 [13:25]

mircea_popescu: trinque should be more interesting to see what it does to mimisbrunnr [13:56]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes do try the above patch, may actually bring you back above waterline. [13:56]
trinque: deedbot does lag time to time [13:56]
trinque: I just keep tabs on it and give it a restart when [13:57]
mircea_popescu: aha [13:57]
mircea_popescu: but he was benchmarking "who hears tx first" and that type of thing [13:57]
ben_vulpes: heh hadn't gotten to "who hears tx first", that'll need umpteen nodes to do properly unless i misread the situation. [14:00]
asciilifeform: dulap now operating with 'goodbye, pingers'. [14:00]
trinque: I wonder if it'd be useful for deedbot to say a txid when sending. [14:01]
trinque: for other folks to note time until seen [14:01]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the sort of thing i had i nmind : http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-09#1580799 [14:02]
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 22:55 ben_vulpes: blockchain.info falling behind? [14:02]
mircea_popescu: trinque can't hurt, if it knows its txid at that point [14:02]
asciilifeform: i will now also confirm that a goodbye-pingers node still receives blocks. [14:02]
ben_vulpes: neato asciilifeform, i will get this into rotation [14:03]
asciilifeform: kako can put this in his pipe, and smoke it. [14:03]
ben_vulpes: in re "nobody over there even does anything"? [14:03]
mircea_popescu: there's a pipe ? [14:03]
asciilifeform: in re 'if you won't talk to prb, you won't hear from miners' thing. [14:03]
ben_vulpes: ah [14:03]
trinque: seems to me you'd end up closer to miners [14:03]
trinque: circumventing the swamp [14:04]
ben_vulpes: no but no trinque miners run cutting edge stuff only [14:04]
mircea_popescu: prb.wh != prb.sa != miner.backbone [14:04]
mircea_popescu: originally, miner code got split off the main satoshi base sometime in 2011. there was a lot of back and forth between pre-trb prb node code and the node code miners used, but not that much in the past few years. [14:05]
asciilifeform: btw dulap will appear to be blackholed from pov of everybody else, for probably hour or more, as it is catching up with blocks [14:06]
asciilifeform: and, recall, single-threaded idiocy [14:06]
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, hn twofer: "don't tell anyone that tls doesn't even work" http://www.zdnet.com/article/google-and-mozillas-message-to-av-and-security-firms-stop-trashing-https/ and "sam altman looks outside" http://blog.samaltman.com/what-i-heard-from-trump-supporters [14:08]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, jurov , and anybody else still running old prb nodes for whatever reasons of their own -- note that you will no longer be able to connect to dulap. (or to zoolag, when i patch it. or to anybody else who includes this patch.) [14:08]
asciilifeform: ProcessMessage(alert, 168 bytes) FAILED << lel, somebody still sending these [14:27]
asciilifeform: (they, like other nonsense, get malleus'd) [14:27]
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what's the alert they're trying to send? [14:28]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'll answer this when i eat the current pcap [14:29]
asciilifeform: (it is very much a manual, batched process.) [14:29]
ben_vulpes: idle curiosity, don't let it block important stuffs [14:30]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: this is a slow-burning project of mine in its own right -- to determine what the fuck EXACTLY these things are doing, when they go 'blackhole' [14:30]
asciilifeform: and also to answer several other itching questions of mine [14:31]
asciilifeform: e.g., do new valid blocks come 'from everywhere', or consistently from a few places. [14:31]
ben_vulpes: also excellent question [14:32]

BingoBoingo: Still, big media that hates frat-rape is denying victim his lived experience! [17:17]
mircea_popescu: a good chunk of the "psychological damage" of what's known in the us as "child molestation" and in the rest of the world, both geographically and historically as nothing in particular has to do with the batshit insane reaction of the environment. substantially the EXACT same cause driving psychological damage in "abused children" as used to drive psychological damage in "mentally ill" aka homosexuals. it did get turing to kil [17:18]
mircea_popescu: l himself. [17:18]
mircea_popescu: hence all the discussions re "fags got their weddings, pedos are next". [17:18]

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo and funnily enough they don't CALL IT THAT, either. [17:20]
BingoBoingo: Well, what can they do without vocabulary? [17:21]
mircea_popescu: it's not just a case of "it's our democracy when we do it and corruption when russia does it" the linguistic shenanigans are at the very core of libertard program. "it's denying victim their living experience when you tell susan j fowler or whatever other coreboot-broad-of-the-day that she's just not very birhgt and didn't work very hard but it's nothing when dangerous homosexual etc" [17:22]

* danielpbarron would rather see pedo marriage than homo marriage [17:23]

ben_vulpes: atlantic even did a piece on a victorian child bride recently [17:24]
ben_vulpes: "queer victorians" or some such [17:24]
mircea_popescu: right, everyone's grandmother got married at 12 also. [17:24]
trinque: pedo tends to mean quite a bit younger, eh? [17:26]
mircea_popescu: in whose usage ? [17:27]
danielpbarron: ban divorce and it isn't "pedo marriage" -- she grows up eventually [17:27]
trinque: that's actually the claim dangerous fag guy made which causes teh scandal [17:27]
trinque: "pubescent != pedo" [17:27]
danielpbarron: scandal only because it can't be about fertility or else homosexuality is similarly wrong [17:28]
mircea_popescu: there is that. [17:29]
ben_vulpes: hence the magic number (18!!!) with exceptions (unless you're both under 18! except if we want to try you as an adult!) [17:29]
ben_vulpes: sad inevitability of governing by numbers. [17:30]
mircea_popescu: the magic number 18 has a lot more to do with historical extraction. people wanted to get work out of children there's a soft spot where the uncastrated animal becomes more trouble than it's worth. [17:31]
mircea_popescu: since they weren't about to start castrating boys (mostly because the crown wouldn't let them otherwise us southerners very much DID, and would again if could) they had to give up on them at some point and let those "indentured" servant "contracts" expire. [17:32]
mircea_popescu: "how old does he have to be before the risk of punching you out, burning your house and fucking your wife and daughter outweighs whatever useful labour you may extract out of him" is scarcely a cogent basis for discussing how old must be the girl before you can buy her. [17:33]
danielpbarron: heh so not child abuse but "hey! stop trying to get my farm equipment pregnant!" [17:33]
mircea_popescu: nah, it was never about the girls. [17:33]
mircea_popescu: and generally - the proposition that females mattered at any point in human history, no matter the circumstance or perspective, is laughable. [17:34]
mircea_popescu: no law was made by women or for women no conflict was with women or about women, on it goes. the ancient complaint that "media fails to ~DEPICT~ the struggles of women and the impact of women" is so much charade. history fails to record because reality fails to contain. so media has to fail to depict if it cares to stay sane. [17:34]
mircea_popescu: and if it doesn't care to stay sane, the result is inevitably crank and tangerine. [17:34]
danielpbarron: poetic [17:35]
trinque: there is a very plain consideration on when pregnancy is going to sap energy otherwise allocated to maturation [17:36]
trinque: if we're talking about utility [17:36]
mircea_popescu: this hasn't anything to do with it as far as i can see. ironically women are more mature by whatever metric - aware, dependable, etc. in all times and places, broadly speaking. [17:37]
mircea_popescu: the issue is that women are adaptable, men are not. you understand how this works ? [17:37]
trinque: sure, men are, then go out and die or not [17:37]
mircea_popescu: no i mean the economics of flexibility. [17:38]
mircea_popescu: a commonly discussed example is that "everything in us consumer market is kosher, including $random item for exemplification". then there's some o wow, kosher eaters are a fraction of 1% of the whole market. [17:39]
mircea_popescu: the mechanics is that kosher eaters WILL NOT eat non-kosher whereas everyone else will eat whatever. [17:39]
mircea_popescu: as keeping two sets of $item has significant costs, it is cheaper to just make everything kosher. [17:40]
asciilifeform: mimisbrunnr.cascadianhacker.com down?? [17:40]
mircea_popescu: this is why merely TOLERATING vegetarians is insanity if you like meat. you eating either their soy or a steak while they ONLY eat soy will ENSURE you will not be able to eat meat. [17:40]
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yes [17:40]
asciilifeform: aite [17:40]
mircea_popescu: so do not simply tolerate a vegetarian. either kick her out or beat her up. [17:40]
ben_vulpes: an eyebrow should suffice. [17:41]
mircea_popescu: well, economics dun care. [17:42]
ben_vulpes: instead of a thrashing i mean. [17:42]
mircea_popescu: yes, yes. you'll find out if it sufficed or not at the other end. [17:42]
* ben_vulpes looks, sees no more vegetarians in his house [17:42]
mircea_popescu: this is incidentally why "irrational behaviour!! murder!! common graves!!!". because of exactly the above, economics dun care, so the inborn reflex is to overdo and make sure, rather than find out it didn't take on the other end. [17:43]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes speaking of house, the BEST THING father can do for his daughter, aged 9 to 19, is make sure she has abundant, clean protein available. no meal without salmon, fine beef, shrimp, pump her full of 100g of protein a day. [17:44]

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's where I wedged after pingpatch [17:57]
mircea_popescu: anyway, btc.com is pretty much a bitcoin attacker by this point, at least in my books. [17:57]
asciilifeform: my concern is not that there is a boojum in 454074. but that the thin red line connecting my trb nodez to miners are -- apparently -- veeeery thin [17:58]
ben_vulpes: that node's not wedged but very far behind. [17:58]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect your node's problem is verification. [17:58]
mircea_popescu: you just happened to get one of these shitted in while looking for something else. [17:58]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nope. it simply hasn't heard a block in ~2 hrs. [17:58]
mircea_popescu: the exact process that makes this whole pile so difficult to watch. [17:58]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because it only talks to nodes that are trying to eat that one. [17:59]
asciilifeform: actually it very often meets a , e.g., version message: version 70002, blocks=454102 [17:59]

asciilifeform: hundreds of these, now, in my log. [17:59]
BingoBoingo: More elegant ping solution may be required [18:01]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it is not clear to me that there is such a thing as elegant solution, to what may very well be an ecological problem [18:02]
asciilifeform: i.e. if there is a mass of prb between us and miners. [18:02]

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they're in a block [18:08]

mircea_popescu: the crap that ends up into blocks would astound oyu. [18:08]
BingoBoingo: My problem of the now is connecting to nodes with a higher blockheight than I [18:10]
asciilifeform: thus far i have not found anything in 454074 that is not in quite recently earlier blox [18:11]
asciilifeform: (any kind of thing, rather) [18:11]
mircea_popescu: me either. [18:11]
mircea_popescu: anyway, off to dinner. [18:12]

asciilifeform: and forkulate. [18:23]
ben_vulpes: node attached to mimisbrunnr is stuck at 454003 [18:24]
asciilifeform: that'd be quite a bit earlier [18:24]
ben_vulpes: aye, can't quite see why it'd be stuck there [18:24]
asciilifeform: how long has it sat there, ben_vulpes ? [18:24]
ben_vulpes: node has only recently begun responding to rpc calls [18:25]
asciilifeform: ( and are you equipped to answer this q accurately ) [18:25]
ben_vulpes: and no i am not. [18:25]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: a node that is not responding to rpc is nearly always simply catching up on massive backlog of blox [18:26]
ben_vulpes: it would be feasible to chart time density of log statements [18:26]
asciilifeform: during which it invariably loses all peers but the one supplying said blocks [18:26]
ben_vulpes: just saw this in my logs: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/2HMaz/?raw=true [18:26]
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: aya, the odd thing by my read is that it is responding to rpc calls but hasn't found from whom to get the rest of the blocks [18:29]
asciilifeform: aaaaand we've got 454074. [18:29]
ben_vulpes: or lol hadn't until right now [18:29]
asciilifeform: and ..75. [18:30]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Stepped away from node and it started catching up again [18:31]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was finally eaten i see [18:33]
mircea_popescu: ah yeah, there. [18:33]
asciilifeform: the other major disgrace is that i have no way to make, e.g., zoolag and dulap NEVER MOTHERFUCKING BREAK UP [18:33]
asciilifeform: there is literally no mechanism for this, nor is it a simple retrofit. [18:33]
mircea_popescu: that'll be a while AFTER getting the readable source. [18:33]
asciilifeform: the 'all monkeys are equal' idiocy is deeply baked in. [18:33]

asciilifeform: quite disjoint sets, for the most part. [19:17]
mircea_popescu: such an "ipnoje" does not exist. [19:17]
asciilifeform: wwwtronic idiocies mostly live in the former camp [19:17]
mircea_popescu: the ~only thing that is even vaguely similar to that is the sort of deep-in-the-bowels systems engineering as to my mind best exemplified by the llvm thing and ~nothing else. [19:18]
asciilifeform: recall who pays for llvm, and in what product it is used. [19:18]

asciilifeform: quite possibly this experiment was misguided [23:17]
asciilifeform: what, i am suspecting, i oughta have done, is to banhammer strictly those nodes who ~pong back~ [23:17]
asciilifeform: because as it is, trb nodes (such as zoolag) are getting the hammer. [23:18]
asciilifeform: the folx i was trying to kill, are those who ~sit idle and hog the socket~ while waiting for a pong that never comes. [23:18]

mircea_popescu: anyway, it may be worth the contemplation to consider that bitcoin is the specific sort of thing you'd never have actually made specifically because its strengths are the sort of things you personally hate. [23:22]
asciilifeform: ok nao i'm curious, how's that [23:22]
asciilifeform: ? [23:22]
mircea_popescu: take this "send tx" "well bro... there's no guarantees" item. [23:23]
mircea_popescu: "wtf anti-civilised non-engineered process is this then!" "words are given man to hide his thoughts, bro" [23:23]
asciilifeform: there is a palpable difference between 'hey bro this is usenet and no guarantees' and 'hey bro this is crack den and i'ma take yer mail and flush it down the shitter, no guarantees' imho [23:24]
mircea_popescu: perhaps. but the CORRECT cut in there is a very high paygrade item. [23:24]
mircea_popescu: which is what i meant re contemplation. not the sort of problem you usually enjoy, ergo not the sort of system you'd of your own choice make. [23:25]
asciilifeform: i don't 'zoologically' despise noisy channels. [23:27]
asciilifeform: i despise unquantifiably-noisy. [23:27]

mircea_popescu: yes. [23:27]
asciilifeform: unquantifiable engineering belongs in crack den. [23:27]
mircea_popescu: depends. consider the problem of the jungle. [23:28]

mircea_popescu: moreover, it was historically trivial to predict their predicaments and ambush. [23:30]
mircea_popescu: hey, i'm not trying to persuade, i am merely stating the possibility. [23:30]
asciilifeform: x11, or gcc, etc are easily 1000x the volume of shit. and successfully llvm'd. [23:30]
asciilifeform: because it is a problem that succumbs to brute labour. [23:30]
mircea_popescu: specifically because it was contrived. the gcc shit is a conceit, not real shit. [23:30]
asciilifeform: to briefly revisit upstack: in case this was unclear to anyone: goodbye-pingers ~breaks connectivity with stock trb~ and ought to be considered experimental/dangerous . it is not yet clear to me that the pill is an improvement over the disease. [23:32]
mircea_popescu: not without it being complete (ie, also stop pinging). [23:32]
asciilifeform: well the -revised ver. is. [23:32]
asciilifeform: but even so. [23:32]
mircea_popescu: myeah. [23:33]
asciilifeform: i am rather surprised, i admit, that dulap is speaking to ~anyone~ [23:33]
mircea_popescu: a little bit of power rangering of your own hm ? [23:33]
asciilifeform: yet is is nearly synced [23:33]
mircea_popescu: some blocks get through in the brief interval. [23:33]
asciilifeform: not at all this. [23:33]
mircea_popescu: that's the moral here : just how resilient the shit is. amorphous therefore eternal. [23:33]
asciilifeform: pingers are banned immediately [23:33]
asciilifeform: none get anything through. [23:33]
mircea_popescu: well, once they ping [23:33]
asciilifeform: 454120 atm. [23:34]
asciilifeform: (and digesting a block as we speak) [23:34]
asciilifeform: 6 behind, e.g., bci. [23:34]
asciilifeform: to clarify: dulap is running the revised patch. [23:34]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was marked (EXPERIMENTAL) for a reason!!11 [23:35]
mircea_popescu: you know, they usually do some statement of what's being experimented when they do an experiment. [23:35]
asciilifeform: had link to mircea_popescu in l0gz! [23:35]
mircea_popescu: so it did :) [23:36]
mircea_popescu: "this is an experiment to establish the density of water. we will be using a densometer to measure it, expect to see values in so and so range, for so and so reasons" etc. [23:36]

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd like to leave dulap as it is , to see how this change affects blackhole, but it does carry some of the 'trucks of britain' problem (as described by mircea_popescu article -- 'trucks over 5 tonnes will experimentally drive on left side of road first!11') [23:37]
mircea_popescu: experiment = 1. statement of phenomena being observed 2. description of experimental set-up and measuring tools 3. explanation of working theory and 4. statements of fact that stand to be falsified. all 4. [23:38]
asciilifeform: 1. 'blackhole.' 2. tcpdump on two blackholed trb nodes. multitude of peers emitting 'ping, ping, ping...' and soaking up sockets. 3. hypothesis: killing socket hoggers will dissolve blackhole. 4. 'socket-hogging prb is responsible for blackhole condition' [23:39]
mircea_popescu: yes but this is supposed to be done prior not ex post facto. [23:40]
asciilifeform: (4) is unfortunately ultimately rubbish, it is really the single-threaded, polled socket handler of trb that is ultimately morally responsible. [23:40]
mircea_popescu: there is that. [23:40]
asciilifeform: but the option of removing it is not on the table. [23:40]
asciilifeform: it is quite equivalent to scrapping the whole thing. [23:40]
asciilifeform: (it'd require, absolutely, removing the locks. which ~unquantifiably alters the semantics of the entire thing.) [23:43]
mircea_popescu: btw, trump actually gave state to petraeus, at least on the declarative front. [23:55]
mircea_popescu: lulz of ALL FUCKING TIME. [23:55]
asciilifeform: l0l!! [23:56]
mircea_popescu: that's such an epic dead cat to hold over the libertards lmao [23:56]
mircea_popescu: "hey, guess who wants to spitroast you all ? i... could put him in charge you know." [23:56]
mircea_popescu: "and it'll piss a little on the courts too. seems like a great move. are you ready to suck the cock yet ?" [23:57]
