asciilifeform: ^ not intended to imply that ~all~ items created this way are worth using
asciilifeform: but thus far most of the software artifacts i personally see as making a computer worth using at all, were written by one (or handful) of people, and largely on stolen/embezzled employer time, and under no management whatsoever other than the 'emperor in their heads'
asciilifeform: or, alternatively, example some software artifact even vaguely worth using, to intelligent folks, that was ~produced under sound management~
asciilifeform: say, example of 'good management' in that sphere that doesn't, when you scratch it, reveal itself to be a case of programming-with-human-compilers
asciilifeform: btw, iirc mircea_popescu once asked why dijkstra is not taught in american schools. the reason is not a secret: he openly taught that fewer people have any business programming computer than performing surgery
asciilifeform: half the battle is merely to get anybody to contemplate that it is possible to eat things other than shit
asciilifeform: the whole experiment in bringing back emperors was a flop
asciilifeform: (e.g., 'emperor showa' not hirohito)
asciilifeform: get a temp name and assigned a proper one ~when deserved~
asciilifeform: burn your computer.
asciilifeform: (xiah lee, don't expect to see anywhere. he literally ran out of money and went to wash dishes for minimum wage, and sold his computer iirc)
asciilifeform: if you want to play 'rogue', you can use whatever iron you found in old university dumpster, yes
asciilifeform: compare minix2 to minix3
asciilifeform: one notable attempt at 'fits in book but usable' was minix. a failed attempt.
asciilifeform: (complain to gcc folks, not me. absolute path crud in just about everything...)
asciilifeform: (it is initially empty)
asciilifeform: mats: 'worth billions' in the usg empire has nothing to do with money, but with 'noble, aryan' blood
asciilifeform: complicated
asciilifeform: i just drove by the place. it is not only still standing but swarming with fresh chumpers
asciilifeform: the general rule is that an item like this is known to 3 people: the fella who ordered it; the fella who implemented it; and the fella in charge of shooting either or both if they talk
asciilifeform: example of interesting seekrit: 'magic packet that turns an intel nic to arbitrary-dma whatever into/out of ram'
asciilifeform: i doubt very much that there are women in 'compartments'
asciilifeform: symptom of the basic difficulty of escaping 'enemy with outposts in your head'
asciilifeform: now, for the other prong of the question, 'omg121111!!1111 ch1ld pr0n!' prosecutions in usa are always, without exception about one thing: 'know that you can go to the camps for having certain bitstrings on your hdd. and that if we want to, we can put them there, aha.'
asciilifeform: think, without pakis, how much less air compressor for the real estate bubble in paki-free zones
asciilifeform: the pakis are a designated imported predator, as per 'yi yi zhi yi' algo. they are doing their job.
asciilifeform: i'll have you know that at my university they play (on symphonic orchestra, yes!).... 'super mario.'
asciilifeform: american symphonics are on par with the rest of third world
asciilifeform: and rsa is ~much~ simpler than, e.g., bitcoin.
asciilifeform: onlooker: consider, for instance, the predicament of somebody trying to correctly implement plain old rsa algo.
asciilifeform: write, build some simple programs
asciilifeform: i don't see how it 'is complicated' at all. folks who wanna be paid when i copy a number, get a raging hardon for the state (tm) (r) when it makes noises of promise to make it happen
asciilifeform: i personally regard these as important knobs and their absence from the original bitcoin as an atrocity
asciilifeform: (see ml for example of me doing so for a chain loaded from mircea_popescu)
asciilifeform: also it is possible to hash a blockchain using dumpblock
asciilifeform: if you can get a bash prompt, you oughta get a working build.
asciilifeform: do we each get a dead empire to necromancy ?
asciilifeform: jp imperial heraldic
asciilifeform: and simplest
asciilifeform: 'Ryan is also the author of brainflayer, a utility that attempts to find a guided brute force solution to brainwallet addresses.'
asciilifeform: the abstraction is imperfect and necessarily leaks.
asciilifeform: the basic root of the matter is that 'industrial production' is an abstraction ~on top of~ craftsmanship in the same way as the digital computer is an abstraction on top of analogue solid-state physics
asciilifeform: and here is where we meet up with vlsi boojum: you can't do vlsi economically if there is room for six computers total.
asciilifeform: my real question was 'is it possible to finance a computer without duping millions that they Must Upgrade Because (tm) ' ?
asciilifeform: at any rate, this edges into the territory of converting meters to litres and 'comparing the soft to the warm'
asciilifeform: about same as small computer.
asciilifeform: (or, for completeness, some yet-entirely-undiscovered 'third road' where we make'em out of belly button lint)
asciilifeform: so perhaps computer can exist in the future of http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-08-2015#1230074 -- but only like an 18th c. church organ
asciilifeform: said the fella who sweats blood on account of misbehaving computers.
asciilifeform: sadly, more complicated. just the turbine lives and dies by plenty of petrol-based lube
asciilifeform: (i.e. by force of army, by 'everyone else sucks so profoundly in comparison that there can be no debate', ...
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-08-2015#1229917 << a unified standard library never formed. a few implementation-specific fairly complete libraries - did, but the kind of folks attracted to scheme all turned nose at them (incl. me) - 'ewww, not orthogonal, not beautiful, not scheme at all' -- them (and me)
asciilifeform is roughly aware that the story of actual egyptian pyramids was rather more complicated
asciilifeform: the thing that makes the pyramid a pyramid, at least in a schoolbook example, is that it is not something anyone (but the king) actually ~wants~ that much
asciilifeform: just to work out example on a napkin. say you, a king, want a pyramid built. could a) conscript ten thousand folks to work to death building it b) debase the currency and hire builders
asciilifeform: in a vain attempt to avoid being ground into mud
asciilifeform: note that 'people want computerz' is not enough for the industry to be +ev
asciilifeform: re: ic thread: whole thing is kinda coming together in my skull. quite likely ~^^this^^~ is why it is impossible to borrow money to fund a computer-related anything, without a convincing plan to somehow pass the bezzle to a greater chump
asciilifeform: ussr, for instance, just about broke its back producing ic (and cloned computers of various descriptions.) it is not clear that these paid for themselves, regardless of how you measure economic
asciilifeform: the perpetrators were convinced that the chumps were convinced that there is simply no other way.
asciilifeform: summary: nobody knows how to make selling computers +ev without the millions-of-planktonous-idiots market being involved somehow
asciilifeform: and if attempted with any kind of scale, will make plutonium look cheap and plentiful in comparison.
asciilifeform: but this is very different from how the computer on everyone's desk was built
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-08-2015#1229626 << at -ev? thing is, nobody ever invented 'reasonably priced electronics sold to sane people.' that is, no one has ever demonstrated the economic feasibility of this. the only kinds of computer sold in perhaps 25 years were: a) sold to chumps buying forced 'pr0gr3ssss' and b) so expensive everyone shits his pants
asciilifeform: the subject swallows own arse, and either disappears in a flash of gamma rays, or becomes an adult computerist
asciilifeform: (describes not scheme per se, but walks the student through implementing scheme in scheme, and then implementing a detailed simulator for a machine which is the intrinsic minimum for executing scheme.)
asciilifeform: ... of computer programz.
asciilifeform: and 3) great student exercise, where the kids won't demand to hear why both 'elt' and 'nth' exist (perennial retardation example from cl, which was born in a 'no vendor left behind' multi-turdculturist compromise)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-08-2015#1229675 << complicated. scheme is an example of a 'suckless movement' that didn't catch on. that is, 'throw out all the legacy crud', but after that the thing has to be inhabited. if not inhabited, then dies young, while leaving, yes, beautiful corpse
asciilifeform: there are also 'fancy' targets that jump up and down when hit
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-08-2015#1229582 << if meant 'perly', i welcome suggestions of how it could be made less so. but - the incantation works. i encourage folks to try it. presently investigating how to re-sign things while preserving all timestamps.
ascii_field: ergo is a complete solution to the antecedent-embedding diff which i suggested to mircea_popescu earlier this week.
ascii_field: complete with sandblast cabinet
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if you want raw packet payloads, tcpdump will disgorge'em.
asciilifeform: i mean, if for human consumption
asciilifeform: Adlai: everything is text when you hexdump -C it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is why specific example of 'gmail' etc, which use scripts
asciilifeform: a 100kg stool sample ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: what's next, a five litre blood sample ?
asciilifeform: 'But whether the Eagles obey us, Or we go to the Ravens--alone, I'd sooner be Lalage's lover Than sit on an Emperor's throne!'
ascii_field: (notice, when i post binaries, they are not for running - certainly not on a computer... but for static analysis)
ascii_field: tcpdump
asciilifeform: es from the “log” files to the “blkindex.dat” file for maximum compatibility, but makes shutdown much slower. Note that the “wallet.dat” file is always detached, and versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases at shutdown.'
asciilifeform: 'The Berkeley DB database library stores data in both “.dat” and “log” files, so the database is always in a consistent state, even in case of power failure or other sudden shutdown. The format of the “.dat” files is portable between different versions of Berkeley DB, but the “log” files are not– even minor version differences may have incompatible “log” files. The -detachdb option moves any pending chang
asciilifeform not relishing the perspective of attempting building and running that thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc he was talking about the failure-to-deallocate thing. (and slept through the threads where the hypothetical structure of a sane mempool was discussed
asciilifeform: miner pays to access the top of the sorted mempool
asciilifeform: '"There were real issues with the operational wisdom of the program, and those who were to conduct the mission were sure that whomever thought this up was using bad hemp."'
asciilifeform: ampoule.
asciilifeform: 'The Army's countermobility field manual taught soldiers to use ADMs for "stream cratering," in which atomic explosions near small waterways would "form a temporary dam, create a lake, cause overbank flooding, and produce an effective water obstacle" for enemy forces.'
asciilifeform: company with 'sadm' might, sure.
asciilifeform: bad example
asciilifeform: it is for ~simplicity~
asciilifeform: decimation: afaik is descendant of original (nameless?) that is contemporary with cp/m
asciilifeform: decimation: doubt that it's as complicated as all that. probably just straight mental mapping of the lion in the washington zoo, or even in some cartoon, to the real thing
asciilifeform: trinque: caption: 'pardon me, my dear, but you are in a strategically-important area!'
asciilifeform: that's still 2x the market rate for a chimp who clicks a mouse to run 'EnCase'
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-08-2015#1226803 << i happen to like forth. i bring up chuck moore as an example of 'yes we can recreate 25 years of electronics on a napkin, and it'll fucking work'
asciilifeform: it is an example of a gnarly domain that chuck moore obliterated into something that fits in his palm.
asciilifeform: neh, as in pumping happily
asciilifeform: it doesn't cure cancer, baldness, impotence, no.
asciilifeform: and worth noting that a perfectly usable forth, on which all of these examples will run, can be implemented for just about ~any~ machine in a few HUNDRED BYTES
asciilifeform: just one example.
asciilifeform: say you wanna implement a bignum
asciilifeform: for now it'll have to be hardcoded to port on localhost, pumped through ssh tunnel to remote host, where same.
asciilifeform: i was loathe to implement hardcoded noble-peer by ip, because hitler can put whatever he wants at that ip, from the perspective of my box
ascii_field: in that it is impossible for the machine to determine that a particular '- -' is to be transformed into a '-' or not
ascii_field: but i promise to post a sample next time it pops up
ascii_field: and also wat, i gotta recompile xorg for paste buffer to behave sanely?
ascii_field: see the dashes in my broadcast, for example.
ascii_field: Dear MP,\n
ascii_field: but not really. 'simple as possible, not simpler'
ascii_field: and is a complete os, in a sense
ascii_field: for example.
asciilifeform: i'm about to post an example
asciilifeform: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-June/000100.html << example of one of my patches listing antecedents
asciilifeform: software is not that intrinsically complicated.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes sorta implied this
asciilifeform: this, incidentally, is an important reason why patches need to be deedboted
asciilifeform: also the continuity of identity. if, for example, my patches at some point go from tiny to elephantine, from single-purpose to 'omnibus', from deadly-simple to 'wtf is that' - folks are to presume that i have been finally killed and key is in hands of hitler. and should then rate accordingly.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1225151 << we're not signing because it has 'upside' now. but 1) because unsigned code is 'written by no one' and hence is a work of the great satan by default implication 2) for the archaeologists 3) for the revolutionary tribunals
asciilifeform: decimation: they are the two maps which hold mempool state
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if there is every any symptom of folks reading the ml but not #b-a, it might be worth considering to use the ml as something other than a file dumping ground for #b-a
asciilifeform: decimation: nowhere. implicit destructor
asciilifeform: but it was probably from an importer
asciilifeform: any more than hemp, for rope.
asciilifeform: there is nothing intrinsically noisy re: fucking lamp
asciilifeform: or licensee complains
ascii_field: (massive impedance)
ascii_field: if this is so, it means that ~everyone who has subscribed to mpex~ is 'early adopter'
ascii_field: danielpbarron: he was a relatively early 'computer sucks and must be rebuilt' person. sadly, i've no idea what he is up to these days.
ascii_field: 'In what universe does it make cryptologic sense to keep an unchanging key around for years (decades? optimistically - centuries?) on end?' >> i said this to mr mold and i said it also to mpex !
ascii_field: he had some bloke as live-in human compiler, aha
ascii_field: missing important attributes for this
ascii_field: reimplementation ?
asciilifeform: to which i answer 'go to the harem and come back with why tx is not deallocated when mapTransactions is emptied'
asciilifeform: thing is, if something is alive inside an impenetrable bubble, it is not alive.
asciilifeform: did anyone else spot the boojum in the mempool mechanism ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to pound in the last nail (for now) in the subject: razi, avicenna, et al had it easy compared to modern folk: they could at least charge the rich folks of their time for providing something superficially like working medicine
asciilifeform: or why the food-lever-operator chimp gets a slightly weaker beating as his 'salary'
asciilifeform: or perhaps is simply fired slightly later
asciilifeform: ow live frogs whole, fresh out of the swamp, for her own perverse enjoyment of seeing the young sluts suffer. Hey, it cured Sue's pregnancy, it did! What spontaneous abortion, what coincidence, are you from like the future ?' << this is, as often is, not the complete story. there ~were~ folks who made a reputation for actually curing something
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu need working komputermaschinen for anything?
asciilifeform while mircea_popescu was out, was in the middle of finally writing the motherfucking broadcast but paused to post the mempool guillotine
asciilifeform: even though they were much more compact than a 360
asciilifeform: it is very easy to dismiss mr.unemployable as 'plankton' without knowing anything about him
asciilifeform: this is probably why mircea_popescu suggested that they ought to compete for who can most creatively mutilate his cock on camera, rather than apply to 'walmart'
asciilifeform: how many of the 62k had computer science degrees ?
asciilifeform: no, elementary question. are there enough gay pr0nd0ll4rz to feed all the mr.unemployableprogrammerz riding their sandpaper dildos
ascii_field: and yes, i fully expect mircea_popescu to proclaim that mr. unemployableprogrammer is office plankton and ought to be boiled for soap
ascii_field: 'As a final station, I'd like to describe what online freelancer markets look like for people like me. On freelancer.com and oDesk, you compete with hundreds of lowest-wage programmers from third world countries for exceedingly crappy "projects". It's an unmitigated race to the bottom. Even if I could land these jobs in an environment where the competition basically works for free, there is no way to make a living off
asciilifeform: china: 'we already discovered it 5,000 yrs ago. here, have some fried rat turd dumpling'
asciilifeform: but we are speaking of nodes trading mempool sorted by minability value
asciilifeform: unlike the rest of bitcoin, mempool ~is~ sensitive to mitm and other real-time issues
asciilifeform: because it remains unspecified how to implement any notion of 'peers that bring good tx'
asciilifeform: if we feed the hobos the pigshit end of the priority queue, they simply have an incentive to run away to any other node
asciilifeform: if nothing, how to ramp up?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: earlier and recurrent mempool thread: consider this: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp#2776
asciilifeform: the fact that there is no standardized chipset, and that x86 is really a loose collection of mostly-incompatible shitboxes that somehow pretend to run the same soft - matters.
asciilifeform: for instance, the 'a20 gate' is almost certainly not actually implemented in your chipset
asciilifeform: for example.
asciilifeform: but that winblowz makes the kind of certainty needed to avoid the 'grasping for the handrails' described earlier, impossible
asciilifeform: i happen to believe that we have not yet devised the means for truly separating - conceptually - computer programs
asciilifeform: '...But it is the same problem we find in C++. The question to be asked of massive complexity like that is not "what wonderful things did you find out that made this necessary", but "whatever did you _miss_ that made this so horribly complex"? You can sometimes see people who are really, really dumb go about some simple tasks in a way that tells you that they have arrived at their ways of performing it through an incredibly
asciilifeform: at the end of this long process of grasping something that looked intellectually challenging lie only a complexity that resulted from _rejecting_ simplicity of design at a few crucial points. Hell, it still took me years to figure out what alternatives they _should_ have picked up, and by then it was too late.'
asciilifeform: t was the first time I had really serious doubts about the wisdom of SGML's structuring process, because the massive complexity of it all is _completely_ pointless and a result of spreading the semantics so thin that you had to keep mental track of an enormous number of relationships to end up with an idea of what something should do or mean. It does not have to be that way. It was _profoundly_ disappointing to discover that
asciilifeform: d some of the designs and how it would be implemented, and he was quiet for the longest time before he said that I was probably the first person to have understood what he was _really_ trying to accomplish. That would have been _such_ a great thing if it had been, say, rocket science, but it was not. It was a man-made complexity so great that it had required _months_ of brain-wracking to really get my intuition working. Tha
asciilifeform: 'Overriding and updating old information is something I have to work really hard at. The end result of the way I think and the way the standard is defined is that I immediately saw these massively complex ways to do things that "nobody" understood. Take HyTime and what it calls "architectual forms" -- I vividly remember a long walk around a quiet Tallahassee one summer night with the creator of this concept, when I questione
asciilifeform: in such a way as to guarantee 100% compatibility
asciilifeform: 'It is mid-boggling that a protocol that "handles assets worth billions of dollars" is defined only by a bloated C++ implementation -- maintaned by one company, that of course will not be responsible for any losses...'
asciilifeform: wasn't competing with s/360
asciilifeform: and consider also that, of all the toy computers, the one with the singularly worst design in every conceivable way, won.
asciilifeform: very often, folks forget just how much analogue strange there is in the world, that is kept (mostly) out of their digital computer
asciilifeform: decimation: look into why analogue computer went away.
asciilifeform: decimation: this and precisely this, is why i laugh at people who discuss compensation in terms of money
asciilifeform: 'the real computer' was and is programmed in asm ab initio - yes, from entirely empty space; for every task.
asciilifeform: jurov: don't confuse the retardation of unix&amp;descendants for 'the real computer'
asciilifeform: and i'd bet good money that there is, somewhere deep inside that win2k reactor, a real computer
asciilifeform: re: binary-types, see esp. the mirror link, for example
asciilifeform: but the whole point of a computer is that you do the 50, so you don't have to do the 50,000 over next 20 years.
asciilifeform: well i just gave an example. can you tell from that picture whether it is theoretically possible for the 'subscription' routines to be called?
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> obviously c will compile for anything. but not by itself! << my point was that i put a complete kit in there. that will build x86_64 on whatever you like, x86-32, cray, pdp11.
asciilifeform: it also ~never~ happens between directly-connected nodes on my lan, for example.
asciilifeform: and 'hampered by refusal'
asciilifeform: 'The cash was seized, pending an inquiry that was hampered by the individual’s initial refusal to provide any information about its source. Once the investigation was complete and no basis for forfeiting the cash had been established, it was handed back.' << ahahahaha

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thing is, their scam skillz are honed for a certain kind of largely-ritualized competition. like the antlers of ruminants. for actual combat - not so much

In MINIX 3, when a user expects data from, for example, the file system, it builds a descriptor telling who has access and at what addresses. It then passes an index to this descriptor to the file system, which may pass it to a driver. The file system or driver then asks the kernel to write via the
ascii_field: aha, even f-students know that they were once empires.
ascii_field: roughly: 'let us remind, yesterday, pravda.ru yesterday described the speech of the ambassador of north kr, kim hen jeon, who pronounced that his country will not follow the example of iran and go into talks with the west re: nuclear disarmament. instead, pyongyang will actively prepare for a nuclear tension, given the fact that usa is increasing its involvement with training of the south kr army.'
asciilifeform: that simple.
asciilifeform: no routing of forged dest ip >>>>> no amplification ddos.
asciilifeform: go, 'feel safe' because you went along with usg's transparent attempt to ban the only presently working single-packet transmission medium.
asciilifeform: but will point out that the million-chump botnet can just as easily transmit syn flood as udp crud
asciilifeform: to filter tcp syn vs empty udp
asciilifeform: because SAME FUCKING COMPUTATIONAL LOAD
asciilifeform: but even simpler fix,
asciilifeform: decimation: simply storing the last 20 or so would do it
asciilifeform: 120v is no mere curio to the folks in the u.s. or post-u.s. world whose cities burn on account of pinched-cable-and-too-many-amps
asciilifeform: it is physically impossible to get any easier to filter than udp-with-signature
asciilifeform: decimation: not decent at all. but ~works~ for this example
