BingoBoingo: !up massiro
massiro: thank you.
massiro: <mircea_popescu> said "isolated from the network".
massiro: this reminds me of sending tx with a high-S value.
massiro: latest nodes never accept high-S value transactions and never relays it.
massiro: i'm suspecting <mircea_popescu> is using an old client and the old client makes txes with high-S values.
danielpbarron: !s low-s
assbot: 15 results for 'low-s' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=low-s
massiro: low-S is in the signature <R,S>
BingoBoingo: massiro: creates either s, sometimes high, others low
massiro: in the past, the-eth-scam payout with txid ebc5d768... was using high-S, and modified/accepted txid 09e82c06... was with low-S.
massiro: <BingoBoingo> yes.
massiro: S should be less than 0x7FFFFFFF... to be relayed by the network now.
massiro: if S is greater, doing S' = 0xFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFE BAAEDCE6 AF48A03B BFD25E8C D0364141 - S will fix it.

massiro: If we make high-S txes, it never be relayed/mined by latest nodes.
danielpbarron: !s Wuille
assbot: 25 results for 'Wuille' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=Wuille
massiro: and somebody will modify high-S to low-S. and the wallet will be corrupted.
massiro: i cannot see the content of e6b8aa9d... but it may have a high-S value.
massiro: in fact ebc5d768... was a "high-S" tx and the-eth-scam payout used ebc5d768 as input.
massiro: low-S-modified 09e82c06 was mined, so ebc5d768 became double spending.
BingoBoingo: !up massiro ty
massiro: So the solution is to use the latest client.
danielpbarron: what is the latest client?
ben_vulpes: solution imho is to make not mining these transactions economically suicidal
massiro: <danielpbarron> Bitcoin Core 0.11.2 .
danielpbarron: massiro, are you not familiar with http://thebitcoin.foundation/ ?
assbot: ..::[ The Bitcoin Foundation ]::.. ... ( http://bit.ly/1JZPY9X )
massiro: <danielpbarron>, i know it a little... that may create high-S.
massiro: If we don't want to use the latest client, we could do "createrawtransaction" and "signrawtransaction", check whether is has high-S or not by our eyes, and do "sendrawtransaction" to the network.
danielpbarron: heh, we don't.
massiro: <danielpbarron>, hahaha...
danielpbarron: so do you bet on bitbet?
massiro: yes.
massiro: sometimes.
danielpbarron: blissfully unware of the politics of bitcoin until it gets in the way of a payout?
massiro: I have known the politics at some extent...
massiro: and I think I'm conservative side such as a block size.

phf: gabriel_laddel: perhaps if you stated your problem! xlib is a handful of operations on top of blit, where zen emulates those same operations using opengl. exact details of x talking to hardware is completely outside of scope of xlib, since the whole point is abstract those away.
gabriel_laddel: Unfortunately I may need to poke around "under the hood". There are two showstopping bugs in CLIM that crash the connection to the X server, and it is unclear why.
gabriel_laddel: That said, I've not really poked around the call stack. Could be missing something obvious.

assbot: Logged on 09-01-2016 05:10:42; massiro: latest nodes never accept high-S value transactions and never relays it.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller bt is your friend
thestringpuller: wait, if a high-S value transaction is written to block does that affect future tx's?
massiro: thestringpuller, once written in a block, it is valid because consensus is unchanged.
massiro: consensus is unchanged but the latest nodes never relay/mine high-S tx.
thestringpuller: okay now I see. yea anything after this was pulled https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6769 there is a low-s threshold
thestringpuller: i wonder if that caused the wallet issue? spend tx, confirmed under different hash, wallet is now borked?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i still need to run gdb to run bt no?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller that was kakobrekla's theory as to what the problem was previously. however currently, there's a transaction that has 100 confirms, and it's being spent, and it still doesn't get through. so no, that couldn't be it.
thestringpuller: the power rangers seem to break more stuff than they fix
mircea_popescu: consensus!!111

mircea_popescu: that's what we're currently trying to debug. why the e6b8 one, which spends a single input from the 83e2 one, is not making it through.

mircea_popescu: s +- 100. i think it can be safely concluded that the number they report is simply a marketing gimmick, not connected to anything.

assbot: Does Mayonnaise Last as a Thermal Compound? - Hardware Secrets ... ( http://bit.ly/1SaqoDS )
BingoBoingo: "Back in 2011, we tested mayonnaise as a thermal interface between the CPU and the base of the cooler. Amazingly, it worked nicely, proving to be, at least in a short term, a better thermal compound than several well-known commercial products. But, at the time, we could not determine how long it would continue to work before a degradation in performance was noted."
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
BingoBoingo: The answer was apparently not only does it not last, it oxidizes the interface surfaces.
punkman: "surprising"
punkman: but I good to know I guess? for that rare occasion when you need to macguyver a heatsink on something
BingoBoingo: Or don't really care how well it works after 3 days, but just need it to work NOW!!!

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i was gonna say "oxidizing"
mircea_popescu: and wjhat's the collection lulz ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well the part where getting big lottery payouts from illinois would involve litigation. Even in the games where the jackpot is pooled with other states. Winning ticket would mean potential for you to sue and force state governments to sue each other.
mircea_popescu: hahahaha. wait, i get to sue to establish to whom i pay my winnings in tax ?
mircea_popescu: fuck that.
BingoBoingo: Nah, gotta sue to even establish the winnings are winnings.

ben_vulpes: trinque: is there a reason verify.mk uses `SHA512' instead of `sha512'?
ben_vulpes reads, nm
trinque: ben_vulpes: that's one of the knobs
ben_vulpes twiddles
ben_vulpes: i already ripped the -s flag off the boost download, 'cuz i'm impatient and curious.
ben_vulpes: trinque: build/Makefile:16 `tar xvf' -> `tar xvzf` << any reason i shouldn't do this?
ben_vulpes: without, tar complains that the file uses gzip and that one must provide the `z' flag.
trinque: ben_vulpes: a verbosity knob might be nice
ben_vulpes: i'm talking about the gzip flag.
trinque: ben_vulpes │ i already ripped the -s flag off the boost download, 'cuz i'm impatient and curious. <<

trinque: at least pulling the deps/shit works with make SHA512=sha512
trinque: ben_vulpes: and in fact if the buildroot step were stuck inside Makefile.rotor, it'd be trivial to have a Makefile.openbsd aside it
trinque: then it'd be make BUILDER=openbsd SHA512=sha512
trinque: V setup works fine on openbsd
trinque: yep, I'm moving buildroot, makes total sense

saifedean: lebanon is as it always is, mundanely on the precipice of exploding
saifedean: people hating each other and religious wars escalating everywhere... but... you know... the party must go on
saifedean: unfortunately i'm not there for the next few months, moved to Windsor, Ontario, of all fucking places, the exact opposite of Lebanon if ever there was one
mircea_popescu: who the fuck lives in ontario for the winter and in damascus for the civil war.
saifedean: haha, well-put
saifedean: well, the wife is due to deliver our first child in the next month or so, and we decided to come give birth here where my in-laws are, ensuring the girl gets the Canadian passport
saifedean: it's not the most exciting place in the world, but it's across the river from detroit, which stands as a constant reminded that shit could be worse
mircea_popescu: i can see it.

saifedean: this place is so deadly boring it's unreal, but at least it's not a terribly cold winter, and I'm getting plenty of reading done... Also, it's not like you need much excitement to add to your life when you're expecting
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6750 @ 0.00047125 = 3.1809 BTC [-] {3}
mircea_popescu: well... the woman's expecting. you're just reading.
saifedean: well, not quite, there's a surprisingly large amount of stuff to do, learn, and decide if you choose not to hand over the entire process to the medical bezzle
mircea_popescu: o, that.
saifedean: this has been an enormously edifying experience... most important lesson learned is that handing over a pregnant woman to a hospital and obgyn is fucking nuts
saifedean: the bezzle has completely destroyed people's conception of what birth is
saifedean: it's treated like an emergency like a car crash, when it's a natural process like sex
mircea_popescu: and the internet has ruined people's idea of what makes good storytelling. don't summarize, be specific.
saifedean: trying to give birth in hospital makes as much sense as trying to have sex there
mircea_popescu: you never banged in a hosptial ?
mircea_popescu: dead people make me horny.
saifedean: essentially: if a woman is left on her own in a comfortable setting with the father, her body will do all the work and pop the baby out painlessly and even pleasurably, the baby comes out healthy and looks for the tit to feed, it stays connected to the umbilical chord and placenta for a few days, the placenta empties all the nutrients and blood into the baby, and the baby grows healthy
saifedean: all the complications of birth come precisely from the medical bezzle trying to barge in on this natural process to make a buck, basically
mircea_popescu: look into "health" circumcision sometime.
mircea_popescu: but anyway. natural birth has a huge following in the states. almost unknown in yurp.
saifedean: they'll whisk her in an ambulance and freak the shit out of her, causing her vagina to contract just when it needs to expand. this then necessitates painful pushing, which usually doesn't work, necessitating cutting up and stitching, the baby comes out bloody and bruised and the woman can't breastfeed for hours, which will then destroy the baby's ability to latch properly
saifedean: and most brutally, the fucking doctor wanting to go home quickly means he'll cut the umbilical chord immediately, suffocating the child and depriving him of about a third of his blood
saifedean: this for me is the difference between the barbarian and civilized humans today: the civilized have the time and choice to wait on the placenta to empty into the baby. The barbarians are told by the doctor the placenta should be cut immediately
mircea_popescu: who the fuck goes to the maternity ward in an ambulance ?!
saifedean: people with insurance, that's who
mircea_popescu: no way. srsly ?!
saifedean: "you don't wanna take chances with your baby's health"
mircea_popescu: there can't be enough fucking ambulances.
saifedean: the stuff you learn will blow your mind
saifedean: also, the post-birth interventions they do in the medical bezzle are astonishing... within an hour or so, the baby wil have had a vaccine against Hepatitis B, which I guess makes sense if you intend to pimp the child out in the first week. they'll give them an eye drop to protect against the possibility of the mom having chlamydia, regardless of whether she has it or not, thus destroying the child's vision for a few days..
saifedean: and then, the coup de grace, they give him a little sugar in the first hour to drug him and stop him crying from being separated from his mom while they do all the bezzle they wanna do
mircea_popescu: o yeah, the whole first day vaccination business is both novel and outrageous.
saifedean: all of which is not just unnecessary, but actively harmful. the child needs absolutely nothing in their first hours except their mom's milk. They need nothing for the first 6 months except her milk and sunshine
mircea_popescu: not all kids actually want to eat immediately.
saifedean: but the interventionist bezzle logic we have all come to know and love from economics is applied with vigor at birth, producing mentally, physically and emotionally stunted idiots ready for the modern world's demands
saifedean: breastfeeding in the first hour is essential for the child and for the mom's breasts, it's part of the birth process
mircea_popescu: not all women actually can breastfeed altogether.
saifedean: the child should learn to latch onto the tit before anything else. In the fucking bezzle they give them the pacifier before the tit, and then they'll never latch properly... which happily enough creates endless business for Gerber and other peddlers of poison
asciilifeform: !up saifedean
mircea_popescu: !gettrust assbot saifedean
assbot: saifedean is not registered in WoT.
saifedean: if she can get pregnant, she can breastfeed, it's all part of the same package
mircea_popescu: heh if only. if you can get it up, you can make her come, too ?
saifedean: the problems of breastfeeding all come from the mom not being given the child to breastfeed immediately
saifedean: inaccurate analogy, since she's another human. but if her body can carry a baby for 9 months, and if she eats well and takes care of herself, she will get milk
saifedean: she could fuck it all up of course, but it takes deliberate human fuckery to stop her breastfeeding
mircea_popescu: it's a body, anything in it can not work.
saifedean: and of course, a big, big part of this is diet, what the mom eats before, during, and after pregnancy
mircea_popescu: or whether she has a tyroid condition. or cystic ovaries. or or or.
saifedean: if you can get your dick up, you can fuck with it. Doesn't mean you will... you could still fuck it up.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [RENT] 556 @ 0.0042 = 2.3352 BTC [+]
saifedean: she's got to actively fuck it up for her to not breastfeed... look at all real world examples, and you find a woman who ate shit, or who had a caesarian and didn't bother try breastfeeding for a few days, or as is usually the case, a woman who just can't be bothered and came up wiht a story
mircea_popescu: looky, i appreciate the youthful activist and half-doctor approach, but srsly, talk to an actual clinician. it doesn't always work. it sucks that it doesn't, it's maybe overreported, it's often just fancies in the woman's head, but not always. sometimes it dun work.
saifedean: of course the medical bezzle is always happy to oblige with "conditions"
saifedean: appreciate the faith in your clinician, but don't listen to those guys if you're having a child of your own, they're not in it for your benefit, they have med school loans to pay
saifedean: and they can't pay them if they deviate from the script...
trinque: I'll give it a coupla drops of truth in a bucket of rhetoric
saifedean: do you also talk to an economist phd to get your perspective on Bitcoin?

mircea_popescu: isnt that the chick at war with the fda over the whole raw milk thing ?
saifedean: you'll find it in pdf online if you look; reading it is a far better use of your time than arguing!
saifedean: among many other wars, yes!
mircea_popescu: here's a fun fact : you can buy raw milk in romania from a fucking machine.
saifedean: are you familiar with Weston Price?
mircea_popescu: ~euro a liter.
mircea_popescu: not particularly.
saifedean: That muthafucka knew his shit
mircea_popescu: anyway, all these nitwits that aren't from cattle country don't know wtf milk is, even.
mircea_popescu: they do a lot of diary in lebanon don't they ?
saifedean: it's a travesty that he's been completely forgotten... he's basically the Mises of nutrition
saifedean: yeah they do
asciilifeform: phun phakt: the 'antivax' hippie folk won in usa west coast. where there are now pandemics of crippling nasties (rubella, etc) last seen in 1940s
mircea_popescu: yeah. "o my god raw milk". herp.
saifedean: Weston Price traveled the world for decades observing different cultures and their foods and examining the link with health and degeneration... pretty startling stuff
saifedean: raw milk is not that interesting an issue, ignore it
saifedean: but do read Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
saifedean: the internet has that somewhere, too
mircea_popescu: it's pretty funny. "science!!1"
saifedean: weren't you the one who wrote a post about how dumb it is to be hostile to things you do not know about?
mircea_popescu: seems likely. which one ?
asciilifeform: there is a surprisingly rich set of literature in... alchemy
saifedean: can't remember the post, but it stuck with me and has saved me plenty of time by always ignoring arguments from people hostile to things they don't know... mainly bitcoin and health, funnily enough
mircea_popescu: anyway, i was discussing whether raw milk is interesting or not. it's interesting, to me, because lol.
saifedean: yes asciilifeform, there is, by the sort of people who invented basically all the science and knowledge that got us out of swimming in our own shit in the jungle!
saifedean: i've never had raw milk, don't know a source i can trust in lebanon, and it's illegal to buy it here in Ontario!
mircea_popescu: what, seriously ?!
mircea_popescu: you ever milked a cow ?
saifedean: Isaac Newton was an alchemist primarily, physics and chemistry were the languages he used to speak to the plebs
saifedean: nope, never milked a cow...
mircea_popescu: and you call yourself a lebanonesian ?!
mircea_popescu: anyway. i milked a cow. prolly can still do it.
asciilifeform: saifedean: aha. but for some reason i have yet to meet a practicing physicist who read newton's alchemical works.
saifedean: i ain't even lebanonesian, bro. I'm actually palestinian
mircea_popescu: ah right that explains it!
asciilifeform worked for a palestinian fella for many years
saifedean: it's sad that your physicist friends havent read alchemists, but i'm gonna go ahead and guess that's sad for them, not for the alchemists... here's a list of actual aclhemists, imagine where you'd be without their contributions to your life!
assbot: List of alchemists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1OHy6TE )
mircea_popescu: honestly, to me all this sorta stuff, much like the "eu legislation" on "contaminated animal productS" ie, edible cheese, is a case of derpy dudes thinking chickens come out of the supermarket.
asciilifeform: saifedean: 'civilization begins with distillation' (tm) (r) (falkner) aha
asciilifeform: but where the hell is my philosopher's stone.
mircea_popescu: and i certainly aren't about to read some anglo derps on how and what to eat.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, i still have latin.
saifedean: ah, if only they sold that on amazon ascii
mircea_popescu: for another... what the fuck, i didn't grow up in a hole.
mircea_popescu: to quote disraeli, "who are you people again ?"
saifedean: the problem with this sort of debate is that i've lived the life of the cake-munching sugar-addled modern nutrition believing fatty, and i've tried the opposite... which makes this conversation difficult
saifedean: latin, after all, came from a sedentary agricultural society of grain-addicted fatties... you wanna look at pre-agricultural societies to see how to really be well-fed
saifedean: unfortunately those people don't write, but fortunately, some people who do write have studied them... like weston price
saifedean: who, in his defense, was not even american... he was my ontario homeboy
mircea_popescu: you've tried the opposite but never suckled off a cow.
mircea_popescu: what makes the discussion difficult is the significant chasm between what'd you want and what actrually is there.
saifedean: no, but i've had raw liver, which is much better :)
mircea_popescu: "i never had x but had y which is much better" is what you said to me ? how the fuck'd you know!
saifedean: look, i'd love to try good raw milk, and if you can hook a brother up, let me know... but, you know, it ain't the be all end all of human knowledge

mircea_popescu: you should be an alchemist and write great books on theoretical physics.
mircea_popescu: for my part, for the past two weeks i've only been slapping butts with my left hand and i've never been taller.

danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> here's a fun fact : you can buy raw milk in romania << same here in Connecticut, the one state in all of the ussa that permits sale outside of a farm
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron technically this was on a farm. the way they sorted it out was that the farm rented 20 sqft from the supermarket, plopped a machine down there. serviced it daily, there's a resident tech that does analytics.
danielpbarron: ah, I can go buy it raw from the store shelf
mircea_popescu: it doesn't keep unrefrigerated, does it.
danielpbarron: i haven't tried to keep it out of the fridge, but it seems to age more gracefully in general
mircea_popescu: certainly can make your own curds.
saifedean: daniel, i didn't know that, might pop across the border next time I'm in NYC to see what it's like
danielpbarron: instead of turning rancid it just turns sour
