ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: yes I read the log
mircea_popescu: and the shavings ? why, the shavings burn, creating this most pleasant wooden smoke atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: i've since used them as switches, and broke them on ass. the parts i collected and since just about right thickenss, sharpened them
mircea_popescu: coupla monthgs ago i bought a couple of thin wooden sticks from an art store. impulse buy, i just happened to be next to them.
mircea_popescu: you ever read the log ?
funkenstein_: incidentally, one of the lines I did was called "the nose"
ag3nt_zer0: maybe we were using the "perennial tradition" terms
funkenstein_: lol, definitely enough crack there to last a lifetime
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: you had asked what the hell is the sophia perennis anyway... well, a core and concise exposition of it can be found in more than a few works - here is one that stands at 134 pages and I would really love to hear some thoughts on it if you get a chance to sit down with it... if for no other reason than I struggle to find "holes" in it... http://tohno-chan.com/ddl/src/Rene_Guenon_-_The_Crisis_of_the_Modern_W

mircea_popescu: quoth the runner : ubermore!
ascii_field: it simply took the money and ran
mircea_popescu: what happened to pointing out to the driver he's to speak when spoken to.
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 05:52:58; mats: driver insisted i sit in front, fist bump him, and talk the whole trip

trinque: lets just make the tits-out thing year-round
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 some p[eople in portland were gazing at the nude biker chiks
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: hi there. were you able to read through that book? if so, what'd you think?
mircea_popescu: to quote sammy l, "that's no reality i ever heard of. they speak english in reality ?"
trinque: and turn the trip to mars into a reality tv show
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 04:15:12; trinque: ah man, I'll be able to bolt one of these to my emdrive and colonize mars
mircea_popescu: then the recess was over an' i told the gals all about it. was a very lulzy week.
mircea_popescu: "wut do you mean, i heard there's a little nubbin thing like a tip of a finger" "omfg get out of here 6/10 trolling"
ascii_field: 'on which end is the soldering iron hot'
mircea_popescu: and the dude went like wtf am i on about, there's no such thing.
mircea_popescu: so then i asked him where's the little worm thing on the girl's snatch, upside or downside ?
mircea_popescu: trinque no this was specifically that after summer vacation, guy told class agape this tall tale about the orgy he had going at his grandparent's rural house.
trinque: they've lived on a planet orbiting a massive fusion reaction; what more do you want?
mircea_popescu: i could be back in school, listening to retarded 11yos describing their sexual experience in flamboyantly wrong detail.
mircea_popescu: what in the actual shit.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182397 << what the motherfucking shit is this. "our years of experience in something we've not done at all are to be combined in the following manner - if we jump one inch each day we'll have an olympic record before the year is out"
mircea_popescu: http://www.ddr-comics.de/froesi/index/8507a.jpg << actually this might have been the exact edition.
ascii_field: and i have it on good authority that folks in the age where 'sherlock holmes' is set also laughed
trinque: yeah, but now they're called hololens, and you'll have to take out a credit card to purchase
ascii_field: and his father in ww2
ascii_field: my father laughed at 3d glasses in 1960
mircea_popescu: i'm sitting here in the 80s romania laughing at 3d glasses. for fucks sake - FROSI, the communist german's youth magazine, sent me some very sturdy cardboard 3d glasses in one edition. was like 86 iirc.
mircea_popescu: fucking curse of an active intelligence : you don't, personalyl, get old. you just get to watch the entire world get very old very fast/
ascii_field: in yr 2500 there will be folks selling 'forever live' pills
mircea_popescu: and then etc ?
mircea_popescu: and then "uber" and then "cold fusion
mircea_popescu: will i live to be 90 and read all about "the very exciting technical development of 3d cinema", which apparently didn't fail convincingly enough the fiurst time jack warner trieds to beat television out of the amrket
mircea_popescu: "i'm fat and should work out but the science involved in mean so 6/10" ?
mircea_popescu: what is this, defense by epithet ?
ascii_field: muppet theatre has a box of masks, occasionally they rotate
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182379 << different in what exact sense ? how is one wotless pleb different from another ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude, how the fuck should i know how people who use magic numbers pick the magic numbers to use./
mircea_popescu reels at the realisation it never occured to him before
ascii_field: it's how we got the blkxxxx turd in the 1st place
jurov: iirc there's vfat driver for ms-dos.. some 200k
mircea_popescu: in any case i regard the blkxxx scheme as a hare brained, buggy slow and stupid reimplementation of a filesystem in a kernel that's trying to be an app.
ascii_field: there are ~working~ tcp stacks for 'bare bios'
ascii_field: and not, as naive might suppose, the tcp/ip !
ascii_field: the only thing that even needs an os in the usual sense is the threading
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: it is what i wanted to do in the mythical msdos port
mircea_popescu: because if you run bitcoin on that system, ALL the tradeoffs the kernel makes MUST be organised around its needs.
mircea_popescu: yet another place where bitcoind and kernel merge.
ascii_field: filesystems (other than reiser) don't like dir full of millions of turdz
mircea_popescu: let the problem be solved once and solved well.
mircea_popescu: no fucking idea why it hasn't implemented a from the get go incidentally.
ascii_field: as so the thing doesn't end up running in O(N) time
ascii_field: the bdb thing is for tx (and block-by-header) indexing
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
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: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182356 << i could have sworn there's some weird padding in there
mircea_popescu: ascii_field are the bursts mechanically the same ? like, all 500kb or w/e ?
mircea_popescu: hey there.
ascii_field: another short burst
mircea_popescu: (i also have strained variants, obviously - but of what interest are they)
mircea_popescu: aha. but anyway : yes all my blks are original in that sense, this bneing the whole point of the exercise.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the terminology 'orphan' is used in the source, hence why i referred to it
mircea_popescu: alright. but the former's still stale rather than orphan
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the latter we now call 'bastard'
mircea_popescu: different from the orphan, which is "block with no known connection to the hcain"
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: i think they're called "stale"
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 02:51:53; asciilifeform: if his blk** are ~original~ - as in, they were formed ~as the blocks happened~ - they can contain orphaned (in the traditional sense) blocks
ascii_field: (result of the last 4 days)
ascii_field: and nobody even read the mega-experiment from this morning yet, afaik
gribble: The operation succeeded.
ascii_field: ... and then not
mircea_popescu: decimation i know, but this is a major server doing all sorts of other things. it could not stand for five minutes if that were the problem.
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.
decimation: the stereotypical 'buffer bloat' problem is that you find packets become extremely lagged when there is heavy bandwidth use
mircea_popescu: stuff like 422816 k in the sendq
jurov: otherwise either kernel stalls or pipe is congested(dropped packets, whatever)
decimation: assuming that this is the last machine that touches it before it goes to your isp
jurov: with general conclusion that if SendQ buffer is empty then it's application fault
decimation: yeah, find ascii's connection and see what the sendQ value is
mircea_popescu is trying to bootstrap the public interest in the matter into getting a networking education for himself.
mircea_popescu: essentially the adult version of "but daddy, all the kids in class got this question wrong too!"
mircea_popescu: because yes, the point of life is to preserve that most valuable delusion - that "nobody could have foreseen..."
mircea_popescu: i'd withdraw anything i had in that shithole by now, had i not withdrawn it long before, had i had anything in there in the first place.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> or why those filthy laptops can come anywhere near their 'hot wallet key' << this is easy enough to answer, if you think about it. and if you don't... if you let history be your guide.
mircea_popescu: so they spent 250k (abnd counting) so as to lose 4mn off a schmuck's home connection ?
mircea_popescu: "the stroz friedberg team" ? wtfd is that.
decimation: ascii_field: note the statistics from backblaze don't show the probability of single bit errors (undetected by the drive)
decimation: or why those filthy laptops can come anywhere near their 'hot wallet key'
ascii_field: 'The gambit for this phishing attack was to offer Mr Merlak free
ascii_field: 'In addition, we have paid out approximately $250,000 to programmers hired to rebuild and improve our platform; paid approximately $250,000 (and counting) to the Stroz Friedberg team; and at least $150,000 more for various security reviews, and legal and financial advice. These out of pocket costs are continuing to accrue.'
ascii_field: i'm gonna guess the entire link between anywhere i can go without taking a plane, and mircea_popescu's box, is burpy on account of packets hitting tape before they get to me
ascii_field: mircea_popescu announced the box ip publicly
mircea_popescu: decimation yes, but this server would not stand if that were the case.
mircea_popescu: we know we can actually pass data between each other. what we wish to find out is what causes this behaviour and who to kill.
ascii_field: where the buggers use what they have - control over backbones - to annoy people
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nuts. i tell you ... the load is < .2 and has not peaked above 1 (this is on 8 cpu machine). there is nothing deferred or anthing suspicious in the logs. the eth card is doing fine. two dozen connections, routinely hitting 1mbps. etc.
assbot: The BTC-dev July 2015 Archive by thread ... ( http://bit.ly/1f1NbBn )
assbot: The Ultimate Hard Drive Test: What Hard Drive is Best? ... ( http://bit.ly/1f1MQ1M )
decimation: as for mechanical drives the best info I can find is here https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/
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: (mask rom for known blocks from the past, antifuse for future ones)
ascii_field: afaik neither is manufactured today
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.
decimation: ascii_field: the problem: try finding reliable statistics on your consumer grade hard drives
mircea_popescu: obviously, for t = infinity the size -> infinity.
decimation: in noisy channels there are no guarantees
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.
decimation: I do give a shit if none of the pogos have a coherent record of the blocks
decimation: or at least, in the disk-storage gismo
decimation: you know with these 'blockchain bitrates' I would be concerned about bitrot on disks
mircea_popescu: these days they're still fitting 3-5k blocks.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it is interesting to point out that the first 2 gb blockindes fit a whopping 188k blocks
Jautenim: gah, I didn't check the new stator.sh
ascii_field: Jautenim: we already have the install_sw thing - see http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-June/000102.html
decimation: ascii_field: one wonders why bezos didn't order the creation of his own rsa code
Jautenim: i'm sending a blank email with these three attachments: http://dpaste.com/1YPE04M http://dpaste.com/2XV9P7V http://dpaste.com/2DDHFF4
mircea_popescu: i think some implementations end up with different gaps between them or something.
decimation: although it seems there might be disagreement between nodes in later blkxxxx.dat files
ascii_field: not in the blkxxxx
mircea_popescu: decimation well, it's so to speak "unstrained" if you're there, and "strained" if you hear about it later.
decimation: in theory, if orphans are removed, we should yeild the same blockchain turds
decimation: mircea_popescu: bottom line, satoshi stores a binary blob of the blockchain AND also the bdb database
decimation: wtf is the point
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 00:25:18; mod6: i have 3 full-sync'd chains from between January and March, all have the same blk0001.dat hash: sha256sum blk0001.dat \ 7aac5826b91b4f87a2e9534e0e38e8d64ed21aff8a4eb8ff8dde4e726e67fe1a blk0001.dat
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182162 << all clients that sync after a certain blkxxxx file was filled will get the exact same file (different from any of the ones of the peers they sync from). all clients that sync durin will get different ones
decimation: ascii_field: shit, you are right, the amazon s2d is just a pretty TLS wrapper around the openssl crypto turd
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: put copy of same in another country, i'll compare.
mircea_popescu: they've realligned.
mircea_popescu: the meta point is of interest here.
ascii_field: and as someone pointed out in last night's thread, let's compute the energy lost by failing to boil visa, mastercard execs into biodiesel
mircea_popescu: nah, they had the "unsustainable" crapola on the back burner for a coupla years, as they were hoping they may actually elbow themselves into relevancy all through 2013-14
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: what is peculiar about this piece? reads like the same old crap
punkman: "for terrorists to communicate with each other."
punkman: "We have always been able, on the authority of the home secretary, to sign a warrant and intercept a phone call, a mobile phone call or other media communications, but the question we must ask ourselves is whether, as technology develops, we are content to leave a safe space"

mircea_popescu: like doesn't want you gaming or whatever the nutty fuck ?
mircea_popescu: i mean, there were occasional spikes in load in the previous incarnation, and i figured those may be it. but now it's smooth as butter.
mircea_popescu: so... it wasn't that then ?!
mircea_popescu: ok so last time there was a bona fide index/db problem, which made it be slow and painful.
jurov: my own fkn brother simlates megawatts of energy and kilotons of overheated steam using... excel.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile they figured out how to make the old games run in emulator.
mats: and on the subject of shock... i still can't get over the fact that Stuxnet happened
mircea_popescu: the seeder is coming back online momentarily. for my own curiosity, re-start the syncing and compare the two sets you get.
mats: it shocks the mind that such people are trusted with anything
mircea_popescu: mats so they're practically like the US DoD.
mats: everybody in the org using windows, wtf
mats: another goxxing is just a matter of time at this point
mircea_popescu: do these people's heads come with feet in them ?

mircea_popescu: "These aren't words that an American or a European politician can utter in public, and perhaps not even whisper to their significant other while lying in bed, because the American eavesdroppers might overhear them, and then the politician in question would get the Dominique Strauss-Kahn treatment"

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181585 << there is something in the entire "cutting off nose to spite your own face" thing. absent this, the pissant has no incentive to uinderstand it is a tiny spec, and may even pretend itself equal to every other asshole out there.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the broadly fraudulent proposition that "you can make yourself better through X Y Z" be they hard work or prayer or anything else fundamentally exists as a direly needed social control mechanism. because the social cost of the ambitiously ungifted is plainly immense, societies have universally and often independently constructed this method to deal with the afflicted.
mircea_popescu: but they also don't have a retroactive abortion mechanism (not that they aren't trying, look at any ghetto ever).
mircea_popescu: all the avatars of orphaned boyhood, kids who grow up without a father have no idea what games to play are there.
mircea_popescu: and so... they "are crypto entusiasts" and "You can go much stronger than that" and so on.
mircea_popescu: why ? because intelligence and ambition are unrelated, and the ambitiously ungifted have absolutely no incentive in recognizing their shortcoming. it's not that it's cheaper to pretend. it's that literally no other alternative is present.
mircea_popescu: some of the anal children will instead make a "different" version of yachthing, which will consist of, for instance, birling.
mircea_popescu: some of the healty, sane boys will put a lot of work into it, and get good enough to compete with us.

mircea_popescu: mind publishing the plaintext somewhere, say on your blog ? the turd is uselessly opaque, and for instance google doesn'ty know it
mircea_popescu: this sort of service one couldn't pay for, but i doubt they providing it are aware. somehow it seems ot me it'd be pretty painful if they found out.

mats: not sure either. am inquiring now.
decimation back to the mines
decimation: (compared to the non-do{}while(0) version)
decimation: note that gcc creates exactly the same code for that structure
