ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: that's one hell of an assumption, that the task is doable.
ben_vulpes: and what about that portland lawyer whose fingerprints appeared miraculously at the scene?!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: but you do, dammit
ben_vulpes: what is so damn hard to grasp about this
ben_vulpes: at some scales and without some simplifying assumptions you just need a universe to model a universe!
ben_vulpes: what is there to explain about turbulence?!

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: nope its a feature not a bug
ben_vulpes: you can say that again
ben_vulpes: and in what sense does redirecting a ddos actually lead to a rotting corpse?
ben_vulpes: what's the market telling you?
ben_vulpes: nothing but time and incentive.

ben_vulpes is still reeling from the "rural america jab"
ben_vulpes: ~1/15
ben_vulpes: get stuffed with ennui you seasoned metropolitan
ben_vulpes: but why rural america? i don't live in the boonies and the company office is fifteen blocks north
ben_vulpes: haw now that i'll buy.
ben_vulpes: i've *been* in the leasing company's office.
ben_vulpes: probably the dyke upstairs.

ben_vulpes: do you buy trading cards too?
ben_vulpes: great scam opportunity.
ben_vulpes: plastic physical coins.
ben_vulpes: totally out of scope for the forseeable future but neat nevertheless.
ben_vulpes: not like it's usable 'till you have the whole thing anyways.
ben_vulpes: download the blockchain torrent style, verify and stitch the segments together as appropriate.
ben_vulpes: i can't help but think that the serial download is entirely unnecessary.
ben_vulpes: if i'm reading correctly.
ben_vulpes: sure, but processing is cpu bound, so if you skip ESDA there's a speedup to be had.
ben_vulpes: obviously not a thing to work on any time soon, but a nifty idea.
ben_vulpes: just spot checking my own bitcoin technical knowledge :P
ben_vulpes: on the fly, yeah.
ben_vulpes: would it be possible to replace the checkpoints with randomized sampling of specific blocks' signatures?
ben_vulpes: if i'm reading this correctly, checkpoints speed up the blockchain download process as signatures aren't checked, but they're assumed valid if the signature on the checkpoint blocks passes.
ben_vulpes: yeah.
ben_vulpes: either trust the source from which you got the code or trust the network.
ben_vulpes: checkpoints or network canvassing.
ben_vulpes thinks.
ben_vulpes: hm.
ben_vulpes: why slower without checkpoints?
ben_vulpes wonders in what special ways btcd misbehaves without checkpoints
ben_vulpes: --nocheckpoints Disable built-in checkpoints. Don't do this unless you know what you're doing.
ben_vulpes: btcd runs with checkpoints as well
ben_vulpes: maybe i only go with a few hundred gb
ben_vulpes: still gonna be like sixty bucks/mo
ben_vulpes is in the process of standing up an aws instance with a full TB of storage
ben_vulpes: decimation: disk storage is the *bane* of bitcoin testing.
ben_vulpes is learning all sorts of things about taxes lately.
ben_vulpes: the way i understand it is that company a owns the assets, b leases them which reduces its apparent income. lease payments come into a and are not categorized as passive investment income.
ben_vulpes: hang on let me dig up the language
ben_vulpes: well, corp a buys a machine and leases it to corp b at a "fair value".
ben_vulpes: tax man has brought to my attention the tax benefits in this country of leasing equipment to your own companies.
ben_vulpes: nice (smelling) people for governance only forever everywhere
ben_vulpes: but babes smell so nice

ben_vulpes: once upon a time it was the schools, and there were bonds, and the people paid, and nothing changed.
ben_vulpes: undata: "street tax" << my parents have called portland a "benevolent communist state" for as long as i've lived here. it's only recently started to pass its inflection points letting the impoverished demand more and more.
ben_vulpes: paas wars are the db wars of 2015

ben_vulpes: <mats_cd03> ben_vulpes: what do you need that for? << 's a joke
ben_vulpes: mats_cd03: not enough yaml
ben_vulpes: i'm intrigued to see if any of my contacts pick up when i come back.
ben_vulpes: dockerizing so that deploying CI in the future is a matter of running the provisioner and waiting a minute.
ben_vulpes: gotta send everyone polite notifications of who's responsible each and every time now to make a point.
ben_vulpes: derpy client keeps breaking the build
ben_vulpes: dockerizing jenkins
ben_vulpes: sounds busy
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> but ba bitcoin market is in complete shambles and im getting sick of it. << "retail" integrations aside, i found the actual buy/sell market totally functional.
ben_vulpes: how are you, mats_cd03 ?
ben_vulpes: indistinguishable from similar derps.
ben_vulpes: <badon> More seriously, VC's like to see a business leadership that is personally highly invested into the business with their own financial resources. << lol return of spamgun?

ben_vulpes: back when he was still playing "journo"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: a "bitcoin" "conference"
ben_vulpes: i refuse to claim knowledge of anything anymore. downright dangerous.
ben_vulpes: well, someone with the face plastered everywhere.
ben_vulpes: "him".
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i actually met him once.
ben_vulpes: perhaps your "carpenter".
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: not i.
ben_vulpes: "what could go wrong?!"
ben_vulpes: as we say during deploys
ben_vulpes: let's find out!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform would hold that "it doesn't work".
ben_vulpes: an 0.5.3 that needs a kick in the ass a few times a day but can still catch up to chainhead trumps a power ranger hardfork with no published and serenissima-signed alternative.
ben_vulpes: there are worse things in the world than restarting the thing occasionally while work proceeds.
ben_vulpes: that said if it does - oh well.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'll let you know if it exhausts memory.
ben_vulpes: i stopped it at 251442 to snapshot the db, and again at 260*** (something) to provide resources to transfer the blockchain bzip elsewhere
ben_vulpes: i've not rebooted it.
ben_vulpes: the BDB docs themselves say to experiment with the lock number until it works
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i've an 0.5.3 that's happily chugging along with the new db config vals.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can't really see anything like that working anywhere near the speed of sound.
ben_vulpes: 0.5.3 *wedge* is luke_jr's fault
ben_vulpes: 0.5.3 is luke_jr's fault
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: your cable flexer?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "dragonflies" << well who doesn't love excellent cruising performance *and* agility?!
ben_vulpes: "ground effect" << also

ben_vulpes: artists and armsmiths both need patrons.
ben_vulpes: decimation: it's a wartime project.
ben_vulpes: pwm control.
ben_vulpes: decimation: bang bang pneumatic valves aren't terribly hard to put together.
ben_vulpes: decimation: active stabilization.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: that's the only kinda vtol that'll work
ben_vulpes: what part?
ben_vulpes: nothing but exhaust valves and delta-f control systems.
ben_vulpes: no gimbals
ben_vulpes: (almost needless to say that the vectoring needs to go in both directions)
ben_vulpes: so long as it has ducted thrust at the tips of both the long axis and short axis, you can arbitrarily dictate its angle of attack.
ben_vulpes: you can have a symmetric wing
ben_vulpes: decimation: "diamond" << wave hands
ben_vulpes: wasteful
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: vtol requires ducting thrust orthogonally to operating thrust vector
ben_vulpes: thrust is now reversed
ben_vulpes: decimation: not a "thrust reverser": flip the whole beast around its long axis
ben_vulpes: with this kind of design it's trivial to turn end over end and stop extremely quickly.
ben_vulpes: plus your main thrusters for "oomph"
ben_vulpes: that way you have full control over pitch, roll, yaw
ben_vulpes: two turbines aligned perpendicular to the long axis, with vent outputs from the turbines outputs all the way out at the tips of the diamond.
ben_vulpes: decimation: imagine a really high aspect ratio diamond
ben_vulpes: decimation: that's why i've always advocated going straight up with jets and then drifting sideways for as long as possible
ben_vulpes: decimation: still gotta get from point a to b - i'd like to see a thing that eschewed flaps for ducted turbine exhaust.
ben_vulpes: probably flight planner too.
ben_vulpes: decimation: it'd have to have the controller onboard.
ben_vulpes: adequate, but also wicked performance gained by virtue of being able to control angle of attack.
ben_vulpes: 2 turbines perpendicular to long axis, with piping adequate to vector the thing around any of its axes.
ben_vulpes: i was noodling on a fully-actuated flying wing last night.
ben_vulpes: repeat until scoopbot arrives for inert meatsack.
ben_vulpes: "if necessary - tase again"
