mircea_popescu: take it back!
cazalla: too late as i've already potted it up, but at least i learned about this plant breeders rights rubbish.. guess i'll have some cutting warez in a few years time
cazalla: who would've thought you can have a cracked copy of a tree
mircea_popescu: so this entire moot-Mallory Blair Greitzer thing reads a lot like, skank fucking raid leader for jools.
mircea_popescu: which i think happens about 9k times a year, just, usually nobody outside of the guild forum gives a shit
cazalla: meh cuckchan died long before that anyway
mircea_popescu: anyway, i've had a decent chuckle reading the reports pushed by people scrambling to cope with my brusque, sudden, unexpected movements.

decimation: rpgs are full of bots! the horror!
cazalla: decimation, welcome to 10 years ago
cazalla: i had a few extra accounts i used with wowglider to mine ore and herbs
decimation: apparently they banned "a large number" of accounts http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/17347095985
cazalla: reads as the standard announcement they've been making for years now
decimation: cazalla: I got to think thaw wow is losing popularity
decimation: it would be interesting to know the actual revenue figures
cazalla: the sub numbers are out there, it peaked like 5 years ago

assbot: Logged on 16-05-2015 03:14:16; mod6: im getting closer to my v0.5.3.1-RELEASE perf full bc sync baseline being finished; currently on block 304969 -- it did oomkill today though, and didn't see it for like 8-9 hours :/
decimation: you gotta think that at some point the thing flips and blizzard would welcome chinese farmers
asciilifeform: so it -doesn't- run in constant space.
asciilifeform: -nor- has any detectable (through the usual automatic means, e.g. valgrind) leaks.
cazalla: decimation, they allow gold buying/seller for game time in recent months
asciilifeform: mod6: please post any data you may have collected at the moment of the oomkill
cazalla: they game is fucking long dead though.. it made everything fair so that all players are equal.. seriously.. why even bother playing an mmorpg then if i can't grief the fuck out of people with my rare sword and mount
asciilifeform: incl., if you have it, a core dump
cazalla: that game.. i swear i have brain damage from alcohol :\
asciilifeform: this goes for anyone else who got oomkill with orphanage-thermonuke specifically, on a box with ad libitum ram
decimation: asciilifeform: on another project I've been chasing an oomkill that happens ... when acpi is turned on
asciilifeform: reliably?
decimation: asciilifeform: absolutely
decimation: I've still not gotten to the bottom of it, but my point is that the kernel could also be at fault
decimation: and/or hardware batshit
asciilifeform: decimation: take that machine out to the boonies and use for target practice.
decimation: would love to
decimation: asciilifeform: it's really hard to find detailed specs for all the shitty thin terms out there
asciilifeform: decimation: mostly low-end p1s
asciilifeform: of very little interest, even historical kind
asciilifeform: and you won't find one with isa slot.
asciilifeform: (before anyone asks, i fucking hate 'dosbox' emulator)
decimation: why do you need isa??
decimation: hehe yeah that makes sense
asciilifeform: for the sb64 of course
decimation: heh. I still remember my old soundblaster
decimation: I think i trashed it years ago
decimation: you can never get the timing right one emulators
asciilifeform: it is theoretically possible to get the sound right. but never happened, and i doubt - ever will
decimation remembers playing space quest on his 8088
decimation: with - cga graphics
decimation: I remember thinking as a kid 'why would you not always have the turbo button activated?'
asciilifeform: decimation: 'turbo' on my old boxes, it turned out, just disabled l2 cache. the lamps lied to us.
cazalla: did you have a keyboard lock on your tower? my old man tried that shit on me but some how i had the idea to open it up and remove cable
asciilifeform: (mine had a set of led lamps which toggled number, supposedly cpu clock, from '40' to '10')
asciilifeform: had keyboard lock, but misplaced key almost immediately after we got it
asciilifeform: had thought 'who in his right mind would lock'
cazalla: parents
decimation: assbot is dead?
decimation: then later I got a 486DX from gateway
decimation: I ran slackware on it for a little while, kernel 1.2 as I recall

mod6: Once I have all the baseline perf metrics collected, I'll be making a posting about it and will publish the data.

mircea_popescu: anything in particular ?
wiz: and I'm listening to this video now, that's how I heard about the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWgPpDRo9AQ
wiz: well, I really like the concept of "unregistered corporations"
mircea_popescu: wait, someone made a youtube about b-a ?
wiz: well he mentioned the channel several times so far in the presentation
mircea_popescu: pretty cool
wiz: it occured to me that once underground markets master the art of operatings as "unregistered corporations", they will be at a huge competitive advantage to state-registered corporations
wiz: and eventually, corporations will migrate to being unregistered, to remain competitive
wiz: i mean, not paying tax to the state, or being restricted by their regulations, etc. is a huge competitive advantage in any market, white or black

mod6: <+asciilifeform> ;;later tell mod6 so orphanage-thermonuke has never oom-crashed in your tests ? << nope! it was pretty exciting to see it get all the way through full sync without oomkill.
mod6: now, it'll be interesting to see the numbers i.e. network usage (among other utilization metrics) between full sync of v0.5.3.1-RELEASE+{Orphanage_Thermonuke} & v0.5.3.1-RELEASE (currently running -- which also, as i was saying lastnight, already oom killed once)
mod6: <+danielpbarron> the node to which i'm referring runs 0.7.2 though, so might not be the same issue << as ascii said, this is apples to oranges, but I'm curious anyway; where abouts are you at in the sync process on this particular device? (what block height range? 250`000 - 290`000) ?
asciilifeform: trinque, danielpbarron: this is interesting enough that it oughta go in the mailinglist
asciilifeform: mod6: did you have a 'thermonuke' node going at the time of these events ?
asciilifeform: which, as i understand - did not crash ?
mod6: so yes, the first performance test was me running v0.5.3.1-RELEASE with Orphanage_Thermonuke patched in. Performance test conducted with `vmstat 1` & `nmon -f s3 -c1000000`. During this test the entire sync process completed without any oomkill.
mod6: Now, currently, I'm running a very similar test with v0.5.3.1-RELEASE (as a baseline) without your OrphanageThermonuke patch included... it did oomkill once, yesterday.
mod6: make sense? i'll post all the data with a posting about the findings.
mod6: well, actually, i'd post the orphanage-thermonuke patch test data now, but it's 113 mb of raw nmon captures.
mod6: if you want it, just holler.
asciilifeform: consider posting the charts
mod6: yup, will do. the charts are actully posted from the first test already (http://thebitcoin.foundation/OrphanageThermonukeCharts/), I'll certainly post the results/charts from the v0.5.3.1-RELEASE when it's complete as well.

mod6: yeah, i'll have to figure out how to use either nmon or another tool to capture /just/ the bitcoind process.

mod6: :]
mod6: it should be /fairly/ accurate as there isn't anything else running on this box. just the usual: sshd/syslog/screen/cron ..

asciilifeform: http://ummr.altervista.org/scansTEKECL.jpg << these (or, more realistically, modern) ECL discretes would probably outperform a modern integrated miner, were they to be built into a (washing-machine-sized) one...
asciilifeform: (almost certainly not, i might add, per watt. plant it somewhere mains power is 'phree')
jurov: really? how quickly ECL logic can do, say, one SHA step?
asciilifeform: jurov: ecl (emitter-coupled logic) is a supposedly-obsolete way to build logical circuits (on any particular semiconductor chemistry) where a transistor is kept near switching point at all times, gaining speed at the expense of economy
asciilifeform: it was used in certain '80s supercomputers.
jurov: yes, i know. even had it at school
jurov: pediwiki says "300 MHz flip-flop toggle rates".. and guess it would need flipflops if the SHA computaiton is pipelined
asciilifeform: my symbolics lisp mach., interestingly, has a board with a good number of ecl discretes. turned out, this was the framebuffer. it was the only way to crunch ~200MHz at the time
asciilifeform: jurov: check out a modern catalogue (e.g., 'digikey') - you can get ecl parts going into double-digit GHz
asciilifeform: (assembling these into a circuit with 'weakest link' still permitting these speeds, is 'an exercise for the alert reader')
jurov: heh had same thought
asciilifeform: ecl miners probably live on the same planet as gallium arsenide, etc. miners.
asciilifeform: while we're doing peculiar miners, one might also consider another lost technology, the 'integrated'... vacuum flask.
jurov: rly? last time someone dig out "vacuum" microelectronics, you said academic wankery
asciilifeform: because they needed a si fab
asciilifeform: the whole point, here, is to avoid the statal spittoon dragged in by the use of si microfabrication.
jurov: ah that. so, thinking about ECL, one basically needs to put together 2x80 identical circuits for two rouds of SHA1, and pipeline them, no?
asciilifeform: potentially, one could create a sequential circuit of arbitrary complexity using laser-cut metallic baffles in a long glass vacuum flask.
asciilifeform: on traditional principles of valve logic.
asciilifeform: jurov: sha2
asciilifeform: and when using exotic/handmade logic, you will probably take the opposite approach from a si designer - maximally 'un-unroll' the loops.
asciilifeform: keeping the number of parts at a minimum.
jurov: so you think about one SHA2 iteration feeding itself?
asciilifeform: aha, as on early fpga.
jurov: ;;calc 2000/128
gribble: 15.625
jurov: could have 15 MH/s if driven with 2GHz
asciilifeform: probably 'sheep's skin not worth the tanning' if tradeoff is taken to this extreme.
asciilifeform: 'What GE did was combine multiple common tube types into "fat" tubes—as many as four in a single glass envelope, all heated from the same filament. The idea was to reduce the amount of power required to heat the tubes and the space they required on the circuit board, as well as the associated costs of multiple sockets. In a very crude way, GE was applying the concept of integrated circuits to tubes, and if solid-state technl
asciilifeform: ogy had not advanced as quickly as it did in the first half of the 1960s, the Compactron idea might have been developed further, with even more tubes in a single envelope...'

adlai finds along the rabbit-hole walls yet another example of "jpeg-quality gif > $maxint words": http://pw2.netcom.com/~wa2ise/radios/aa5-1t.html

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: before you go - did it work ?
asciilifeform: and wai wat
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes plugged it into a serial port ?!?!!
asciilifeform: (after i explained, in agonizing detail, why this will not work...)
asciilifeform: and who holds soldering iron like this, l0l!
decimation: asciilifeform: looks like one of those ebay usb/3.3v serial dongles
decimation: someone who doesn't have a proper vice
asciilifeform: for soldering iron! lol
decimation: or holder deal
decimation: no, for the object being soldered
asciilifeform: decimation: that dongle is just the thing for, e.g., pogo - but the rng is not a rs232 device...
asciilifeform: it doesn't spit out start or stop bits
asciilifeform: (if it did, it would be perfectly usable as rs232)
asciilifeform: but it doesn't.
decimation: did you intend to use an spi device
asciilifeform: it's raw rng
decimation: ah I see
asciilifeform: i.e. a pin that changes level when it wants.
decimation: so really you need a '1-bit adc'
asciilifeform: now, if you have a -very- well-behaved os, you could sample it as rs232 anyway. but then you discover (see old mircea_popescu article where we stepped on this caltrop!) that you end up losing bytes that match 'control' section of ascii table
decimation: asciilifeform: or you could use a parallel port, if your computer has one
asciilifeform: decimation: this was what i told ben_vulpes at c3
asciilifeform: to use parallel port
asciilifeform: or, if cannot find machine having such - sound card
decimation: one can still buy 'em even for pci express
asciilifeform: decimation: i have one such installed right here
asciilifeform: in regular use.
decimation: I would worry about potential noise in the sound card
indiancandy1: wat r y talkin bout
asciilifeform: decimation: the noise doesn't matter, rng outputs logic-level signal
decimation: but if the levels are high enough and you use some kind of clipping algorithm it wouldn't be an issue

indiancandy1: i just bought some baloons of a somalian
asciilifeform: specifically the one on the left.
decimation: asciilifeform: I wonder how cricital sampling clock variation would be
asciilifeform: decimation: the problem with using sound card would be that it has ac-coupled input.
indiancandy1: there is a somalian guu
williamdunne: indiancandy1: they break yet?
indiancandy1: guy seelling baloons
indiancandy1: with that gass in
indiancandy1: on the street
indiancandy1: the gass they give to pregnant

williamdunne: indiancandy1: asciilifeform: ahh I see, indian have you met Naphex?
indiancandy1: who am i
asciilifeform: decimation: at any rate, the -correct- way to sample these for experimental purposes is with either parallel port or a generic i/o gadget (e.g., 'ftdi')
indiancandy1: im like the only pretty girl who comes in here
williamdunne: Thats subjective
indiancandy1: im pretty young and fly
indiancandy1: and sexy
asciilifeform: indiancandy1: paid mircea_popescu a visit yet ?
decimation: asciilifeform: I suppose slight variation in the sampling clock (known to the enemy) would have very little effect on the output
asciilifeform: decimation: the correct way to sample is at (within feasible limits) random intervals.
asciilifeform: what one might call 'spread spectrum' clocking.

mircea_popescu: she's enslaved by the cispatriarchy with the belief that she shouldn't have to.
williamdunne: Surely if she were to be blaming the cispatriarchy that would suggest she is transgender
decimation: what about transpatriarchy
mircea_popescu: well how should i explain it ? lol
williamdunne: decimation: that implies they are delusional
mircea_popescu: williamdunne if one blames the nazis does that mean they're jooz ?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: no, but thats not binary
williamdunne: You're either cis or you're not
williamdunne: Its more like if you blame women, you're (probably) a man
mircea_popescu: is it ?!
mircea_popescu: most she-haters i know are womenz.
williamdunne: Hmm you're right, none of these examples are all that great
mircea_popescu: to bring the point home : you can only be NOT cis. because the people who use the term aren't, and to the entire would outside of that small, retarded minority the term is meaningless.
mircea_popescu: much like rape, racism, privilege, democracy, equality, social justice etc etc.
williamdunne: Indeed, so she is either a transvestite or a squirrelkin

decimation: "Getting ?rocked,? as locomotive engineers call it, is so common on the Northeast Corridor that trains long had metal grills over their windshields to act as armor. These days, thick glass is specifically designed to withstand the impact of a cinder block. Amtrak officials say trains are pelted in the neighborhoods around the crash site monthly."
