asciilifeform: - It's a symbol, in the shitvi, explained his father, the King. You have to experience real loss to understand the importance of respecting the subterranean world and its rules. It's not easy to do. That's why when someone does it, he's considered truly an adult and counted with people. Until then his notions don't matter. I know what I say may seem absurd to you, but then again one day you'll be prepared, and willing to cut o

mats: lol
HeySteve: Christine Walters, Johburg’s mayoral committee member for transport: "The city would like a South African flavour of black economic empowerment with Uber." - this sort of brain damage has taken over pretty much everything here
mats: not everything can or should be decentralized

BingoBoingo: Nah, insurance should be cheap. Getting insurance though should be hard through other means.
mats: you gonna decentralize vehicle inspections, background checks, accounting, driver recruitment, commercial insurance, too?
HeySteve: eh, sounds like a lot of unecessary paperwork to me

jurov: Jautenim: problem was here, all three came through
mircea_popescu: anyway, it is interesting to point out that the first 2 gb blockindes fit a whopping 188k blocks
mircea_popescu: these days they're still fitting 3-5k blocks.

decimation: you know with these 'blockchain bitrates' I would be concerned about bitrot on disks
decimation: not like pogos have ecc
ascii_field: decimation: i'm pretty certain that i experienced a bitflip last night
decimation: actually, this is an excellent case for putting ecc in bitcoin
ascii_field: decimation: ecc cannot be implemented in software
decimation: or at least, in the disk-storage gismo
decimation: why not
ascii_field: (to an extent, sure, but ~any bit~ can flip)
ascii_field: including arbitrary code bit
decimation: yeah, but I don't give a shit if a pogo's code bit flips, probably will crash
ascii_field: this is very much a mistake
decimation: I do give a shit if none of the pogos have a coherent record of the blocks
mircea_popescu: decimation very much so.
mircea_popescu: there are many considerations here. for instance, as an exercise to the trainee : calculate the minimum storage space required to GUARANTEE bit=wise identity over X bytes of information.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: that one's easy - infinity
decimation: in noisy channels there are no guarantees
mircea_popescu: obviously, for t = infinity the size -> infinity.
mircea_popescu: wait, wut ?!
ascii_field: best one can hope for is to get it an order of magnitude below 'asteroid hits your computer' probability
decimation: ascii_field: the problem: try finding reliable statistics on your consumer grade hard drives
mircea_popescu: because we live in the best possible world built on top of !!!science!!! so nothing is ever sold by any sort of spec.
ascii_field: blockchain really belongs on combo of mask and antifuse rom
ascii_field: afaik neither is manufactured today
ascii_field: i tried to buy some
ascii_field: (mask rom for known blocks from the past, antifuse for future ones)
ascii_field: both are immune to anything short of room-melting level of radiation
ascii_field: (on the former, no way to flip a bit - physically - at all; on the latter - need high current and moderately high voltage)

ascii_field: because you can't get 'raid' for dram

mircea_popescu is trying to bootstrap the public interest in the matter into getting a networking education for himself.
mircea_popescu: sudo ? or just plain ?

jurov: usually sudo
decimation: yeah, find ascii's connection and see what the sendQ value is
jurov: with general conclusion that if SendQ buffer is empty then it's application fault
decimation: assuming that this is the last machine that touches it before it goes to your isp
jurov: otherwise either kernel stalls or pipe is congested(dropped packets, whatever)
mircea_popescu: stuff like 422816 k in the sendq
decimation: the stereotypical 'buffer bloat' problem is that you find packets become extremely lagged when there is heavy bandwidth use
mircea_popescu: but atm i don't even see stan's client connected.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> otherwise either kernel stalls or pipe is congested(dropped packets, whatever) << i thought this may well be it previously, as load was uncharacteristically high for this application. but solved that problem and apparently no improvement.

assbot: File formats -- blkindex.dat and blk0001.dat ... ( http://bit.ly/1f1Vm0F )
mircea_popescu: ascii_field eh. proceeding from the other direction : not only is the need for a bdb datastore directly indicative of allignment problems, but moreover its presence virtually guarantees them. so no, i don't think you can actually rely on "block after block" thing, but then again i can't be arsed to emacs a .dat
mircea_popescu: honestly the only sane arrangement would be either a) store each block as a file, or else b) store blocks in arbitrary sized files, each starting at offsed 1Mb * block_count
ascii_field: the bdb thing is for tx (and block-by-header) indexing
ascii_field: as so the thing doesn't end up running in O(N) time
ascii_field: 'each block as a file' strains filesystem
mircea_popescu: no fucking idea why it hasn't implemented a from the get go incidentally.

ascii_field: let it have own block device.
mircea_popescu: yet another place where bitcoind and kernel merge.
mircea_popescu: because if you run bitcoin on that system, ALL the tradeoffs the kernel makes MUST be organised around its needs.
ascii_field: it is what i wanted to do in the mythical msdos port
mircea_popescu: maybe not msdos, but i think cp/m would actually suffice for everything involved.
ascii_field: (msdos, as we know, won't eat a +2G fs - but doesn't give a damn what you say to the disk controller. so roll your own.)
ascii_field: the only thing that even needs an os in the usual sense is the threading

ascii_field: there are ~working~ tcp stacks for 'bare bios'
