TomServo: Still have the original build dir if that is any help.
TomServo: Back up and running but no joy yet. Is unwedging unlikely?
mircea_popescu: it should unwedge in a coupla hours or so.

mircea_popescu: "In the government’s earlier efforts to boost domestic manufacturing of solar panels and LED lamps, it spread its largesse among a lot of local firms, resulting in excess capacity and slumping prices. This time it seems to be concentrating its firepower on a more limited group of national champions. For instance, SMIC of Shanghai is set to be China’s champion “foundry” (bulk manufacturer of chips designed by ot
mircea_popescu: hers). And HiSilicon of Shenzhen (part of Huawei, a maker of telecoms equipment) will be one of a select few champions in chip design.
mircea_popescu: Most intriguing of all, Tsinghua Unigroup, a company spun out of Tsinghua University in Beijing, has emerged in the past year or so as the chosen champion among champions, a Chinese challenger to the mighty Intel. Zhao Weiguo, the firm’s boss, started out herding goats and pigs in Xinjiang, a remote province in north-western China, to where his parents had been exiled in the 1950s, having been labelled as dissidents.
mircea_popescu: After moving to Beijing to study at the university, Mr Zhao made a fortune in electronics, property and natural resources, before becoming chairman and second-largest shareholder (after the university itself) at Tsinghua Unigroup."
mircea_popescu: talk about the chinese dream.
mats: moar arm garbage incoming
mircea_popescu: im rather curious what their strategic choice will be to unseat intel.

assbot: Logged on 30-01-2016 14:08:37; mircea_popescu: i'd imagine they'd opt for "countless multitude"
asciilifeform: NOT workstations.
asciilifeform: and guess what - they PAY THE FUCKIN BRITISH for 'license' for arm!
asciilifeform: (it blew me away also when i learned this)
asciilifeform: not ONLY do they use the foreign devil's masks, complete with backdoor turds, but PAY.
asciilifeform: and loongson co. PAID for mips license ! and began using american mask, whole. i found this out and lost all interest because wtf.
asciilifeform: that's the thing with orcs, they are very easily bought.
asciilifeform: some cn politburo moron's daughters were admitted to princeton, or the like, in exchange for this 'strategic genius move'
asciilifeform: almost certainly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it happens to be the correct strat for the table.
mircea_popescu: and they'll get some bonus from redditard going "oh, this will make chips like 3d printable!11"
asciilifeform: which table? to be nato's mineral whore while paying for the privilege ?
mircea_popescu: you know on the long term the whore wins.
asciilifeform: i dun see it
asciilifeform: wake me up when an arm is designed on an arm workstation. anywhere on the planet.
asciilifeform: and when the chip masks are also laid out by arm cluster.
mircea_popescu: which is why the prisons are full of orcs with "booze and women put us here" rather than the other way around
mircea_popescu: no idea where this mineral idea came from, but if you look on the net china is an importer of minerals. be it canadian oil or euro gold, they mostly buy.
asciilifeform: these aren't minerals in the usual sense.
asciilifeform: speaking of pb, rare earths, and the like.
mircea_popescu: they're getting a lot of mileage out of the rare earths.
mircea_popescu: much moreso than say saudis are getting out of their oil.
asciilifeform: re: arm, every few yrs i get an attack of the temptation to build a new workstation, and it never happens, and probably never will. would dearly love to buy something nato-free, wouldja tell me ~where~ ?
asciilifeform: (and if it takes 100 hours to build motherfucking trb, it is NOT a workstation!)
mircea_popescu: sure. i'll send the list to your cardano device!
mircea_popescu: im actually curious which happens first, trb hardware delivery or cn hardware delivery.
punkman: asciilifeform: there are more "server ARM" things coming out lately, might eventually have a workstation
asciilifeform: i always found it interesting that cn can not only not design own intel substitute, but cannot even ~produce shit copy~
asciilifeform: punkman: they are rubbish, every single one i ever saw. PLUS i'm not interested in nato arm !
asciilifeform: which is EVERY SINGLE ONE EVER made
mircea_popescu: you know what michael famously said ?
mircea_popescu: "i always found it interesting turks can not only not design own greek fire, but can't even produce shit copy!"
mircea_popescu: just as teh cannons were blaring.
asciilifeform: iirc they could not even use it when found
mircea_popescu: quite so.
asciilifeform: but actually i think mircea_popescu is right, we will have a 'triumph of the cockroaches' situation
mircea_popescu: it's the correct strategy for the table.
asciilifeform: 'plebe does not need to compile anything'
punkman: they wouldn't really sell a lot of bootleg-intels. shit ARM copy does power the megatons of phones though.
asciilifeform: punkman: correct, nobody gives a damn about workstations
mircea_popescu: when man fell asleep drunk, the molds get the food.
asciilifeform: but if intel were somehow to cease to exist, cn et al would feel the heat.
mircea_popescu: cn has made a career out of an inability to feel the heat.
asciilifeform: at that point, no arm either, just plow and kalash manufacture.
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda curious if they're in for another great leap forward actually
mircea_popescu: so far they were fortunate to get very liberal minded leadership
mircea_popescu: the ru "90yos get together to decide which 70yos should retire" thing in full swing, but producing much less spew than the ru version did
asciilifeform: possibly same spew but does not make it over the ocean ?
mircea_popescu: i do have some (limited) microphones in there tho
asciilifeform: cn is historically a champ at absorbing own spew
mircea_popescu: notice incidentally how isis isn't making a single move in THAT direction.
mircea_popescu: why not bomb nanking ? oh...
mircea_popescu: because they're US puppets. riiiight.
mircea_popescu: whole fucking thing's driven by china and they don't even have to do anything.
mircea_popescu: in other news, oldest txn in mempool ? first seen jan the 25th, usual 14.7kb crud with 0.00015 fees.
mircea_popescu: this faux "use" of bitcoin capacity has been ongoing for close to a year now.
asciilifeform: i will l0l to death when i find out that mircea_popescu's tx debugger was ~also~ lisp-based
mircea_popescu: and they are getting included, and basically EVERYONE is stuck storing 14.7kb in exchange for a one time payment of nothing at all in btc or about 5 cents to a third party
mircea_popescu: it's fucking ridiculous. the current cost of 14.7kb is something like
mircea_popescu: ;;calc 100/1000000000 * 14.7
gribble: 1.47e-06
mircea_popescu: so basically, if 10k people store the blockchain, it takes just as much in hard drive costs to store the damned txn as the miners get for including them.
asciilifeform: i don't recall anybody (other than that lukejr fella) crying when s.dice was doing this.
mircea_popescu: and this is no fancy sort of setup with raids and backups and whatnot. just man and his single cpu single hdd playstation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually the whole power ranger array threw a hissy fit, started bitching about censoring txn and whatnot,
mircea_popescu: i had to publicly bitchslap them and privately threaten burning and pillage to get them to shut the fuck up already.
mircea_popescu: but THAT was not only an economic activity - it was the only economic activity in bitcoin at the time.
mircea_popescu: this inept jockeying and pointless us-style politics bs...
asciilifeform: this i recall, pretty much nothing else yet worked
asciilifeform even played, once, on s.dice !
mircea_popescu recalls the times when provisioning a bitcoin node came with "just set quota 100 gb or something, it'll never get there".
asciilifeform: l0l aha
mircea_popescu: now i can't even buy SSDs - admitting i somehow wanted to - because lol what, sub tb space ?!
asciilifeform: i just got a tb ssd in
mircea_popescu: and even the current state of the art spindle drives... they won't last for ever. that'll be an interesting bitcoin-fs application
mircea_popescu: properly spanning volumes.
asciilifeform: incidentally there is a peculiar fact about the supply line for those. just about all of the retail vendors here in washingtonistan... ration them
mircea_popescu: leftover from the crisis days i imagine.
mircea_popescu: because that's how bureaucracy goes in and then never leaves.
asciilifeform: we needed half a dozen 1tb ssd last year at $plant and had to buy from that many vendors.
mircea_popescu: wtf is this inept shit anyway ?
mircea_popescu would have never bought. "sell me the half dozen or go to hell."
asciilifeform: the folk rumour is that somehow there is an agreement where 'cloud' turdfarms get first dibs
mircea_popescu: this is illegal and you have standing to fucking sue.
asciilifeform: and any reseller found to be selling freely to plebes, will get to pay retain rates to samsung itself
asciilifeform: sure as fuck
asciilifeform: perhaps we can win five cents a head like the paypall class action just did
mircea_popescu: "your honor, i tried to buy a hdd and they refused to sell me. vendor told me they have an illegal arrangement to promote the business interests of Amazon cloud services. I want 100 dollars in liquidated damages and 10bn in punitive damages kthx."
asciilifeform: why feed the lawyers.
mircea_popescu: you just file that, and let the good times roll in.
asciilifeform: they roll in. for lawyers.
mats: lol
mircea_popescu: just file an' see.
asciilifeform: anyway, as with the almost 100 year philips light bulb cartel, nobody who gives a fuck has any proof, nobody with proof - gives a fuck, etc.
mircea_popescu: eh, proof. you ever heard of discovery ?
mircea_popescu: they provide teh proof.
asciilifeform: proof that would get a law firm interested, is what i was thinking
mircea_popescu: you can file yourself.
asciilifeform: this requires time & money.
mircea_popescu: like 40 bucks or so iirc.
mircea_popescu: 65, something like that.
asciilifeform: and dance in the court yourself also?
asciilifeform: why not mircea_popescu do it ?
mircea_popescu: i don't live there nor have i yet run into the problem.
mircea_popescu: i do sue people that get in my way, tho.
mircea_popescu: at any rate, the plan's very simple, go to large nat'l retailer, load half a dozen disks, when the cashier refuses to sell them sucker punch him, get the police report to say he wouldn't sell you the drives, pay the whatever it is to have punched a dude and settle for whatever coupla mil they're willing to pay to avoid discovery.
mircea_popescu: your cut should be more or less the coupla mil, minus cab fare.
asciilifeform: afaik this is only at online retailers, physical shops simply charge 100-200 usd more
asciilifeform: and don't have the problem
mircea_popescu: if what you mean is that large buyers get volume discounts, well doh ?
asciilifeform: 'amazon' et al just have narrower margins.

mod6: okie dokie.
ben_vulpes: a small step to the disc would be to slam buildroot, openssl, bdb and boost into a tar.gz and stick it on the website.
ben_vulpes: idem for the vpatches.
mod6: not sure i follow there, what'd be the techincal purpose of that?
ben_vulpes: rather than including procurement of deps in the build scripts, force users to actually download the deps themselves.
TomServo: or a nob to include a local path, else procurement?
mod6: TomServo: hey! did you ever get unwedged?
TomServo: Negative. Was just going to ask if there is any value in keep it..
TomServo: keeping it running*
mod6: i would 100% start over, including in your .bitcoin dir.
TomServo: will do
mod6: it doens't take long to pass that spot anyway.

jurov: <punkman> asciilifeform: there are more "server ARM" things coming out... << you really want like, 64 shitty cores on the workstation instead of 4x x86?
asciilifeform: jurov: i want a non-nato computer.
asciilifeform: is this hard to understand ?
asciilifeform: and yes, this means arm doesn't cut it even if somehow 500x faster.
jurov: i asked punkman, not you
asciilifeform: arm is a british design.
jurov: and i don't have anything to say about non-nato computers3
phf: ben_vulpes: so actually inside the patch hunks are grouped by files, what i was referring to as hunks are actually per file hunk groups. so in other word the graph is already edge-per-file. i added the labels but it looks dodgy http://glyf.org/tmp/labels1.png http://glyf.org/tmp/labels2.png
ben_vulpes: aha, that's what i thought!
ben_vulpes: yeah, messy.
ben_vulpes: phf: is this mod6's svgerator or your own?
mod6: ok, well i did just rip out all the sync/init/mirrors parts of V
mod6: and it eliminates at least 167 lines of code.
asciilifeform: mod6: neato!
mod6: and seems to work ok... but i'll hvae to test this quite a bit.
ben_vulpes: (and the wget 0day!)
asciilifeform: phf: spiffy diagram, quite like what i had in mind originally in fact
mod6: is it worthwhile to rip out my graphing stuff out of V?
asciilifeform: phf: now, instead of the multiple arrows, which really don't convey any useful info, it would be interesting to vary the ~thickness~ of the lines based on the 'weight' of the change.
asciilifeform: mod6: not unless it could somehow exist separately
asciilifeform: the graph thing is very useful.
mod6: alright, fwiw, it does work. could use some more colorization and attention to details like you and Mr. P. have suggested.
asciilifeform: phf: ah i just noticed that you had the file changes marks. this ~is~ useful.
mod6: i just haven't focused on that part as much for obv reasons.
mod6: so -- i might need several weeks at min to test out v99995 of V
mod6: i gotta re-write a lot of automated tests and stuff too.
mod6: actually, it might just elimiate a bunch of tests.

assbot: Logged on 30-01-2016 18:13:03; asciilifeform: how would you feel about a table saw that walks around looking for what to saw ?
mircea_popescu: what, all tied to walls all day long ?
asciilifeform: building battlefield crypto bin on a box with no nic is the Right Thing.
mircea_popescu: looky : your design whereby a better water piping system consists of introducing a one foot gap somewhere so people can be employed to run the water across in buckets isn't as brilliant as it seems.
mircea_popescu: there's a time and place for all things.
asciilifeform: it isn't brilliant or sexy, but it is necessary.
asciilifeform: wget entails a vast shitstack.
mircea_popescu: if the machine is never going to connect to the internet, building on it airgapped is sane.
asciilifeform: and a box on the other end, incidentally.
mircea_popescu: if the machine will connect ot the internet anyway, what the fuck do you imagine "airgapping" it does ?
asciilifeform: the ~build~ box
asciilifeform: see the difference ?
asciilifeform: wasn't speaking of the ~run~ box
mircea_popescu: but the convenience here is exactly that i just compile on the run boxes.
asciilifeform: i get that this is convenient. i did this with some of my nodes. but ultimately this is a sinful sort of convenience.
mircea_popescu: which is how i discovered yest that for instance we have an undocumented "bc" dependency in the build tree
asciilifeform: let me guess, buildroot's.
mircea_popescu: all convenience is sinful by this measure. there's nothing wrong with a little sin.
mircea_popescu: now, mind, i don't think it's wrong to have a cast cd of the thing, just like i don't think it's wrong to have an iridium idol of the "meter" somewhere in france
asciilifeform: entirely wrong analogy. the point of cd is to have 10,000 iridium metres.
mircea_popescu: but don't expect me to go to paris every time i'm about to fit tits for corsets.
asciilifeform: let'em diddle the disk on ~everybody's~ desk.
mircea_popescu: even so.
asciilifeform: let's put it this way, that bdb tarball ain't ever chaning
asciilifeform: *changing
mircea_popescu: understand that introducing the ability to read cds is an unneeded kludge.
asciilifeform: ditto bdb
phf: asciilifeform: http://glyf.org/tmp/war-room2.png not quite right, but i like it
mircea_popescu: the bitcoin machine HAS TO internet
mircea_popescu: it does not have to cd.
asciilifeform: build machine doesn't.
asciilifeform: plus the purpose of the cd is pointedly NOT to be read each time.
asciilifeform: but as a standard.
mircea_popescu: so then you internet a signed binary over rather than a v tree. meh.
asciilifeform: you can push a tarball to your online box.
mircea_popescu: i much prefer building on the dest box whenever feasible.
asciilifeform: do you see the point of the openbsd cd ?
asciilifeform: i - do.
mircea_popescu: i also never used it.
mircea_popescu: i did use the old debian cds, back in the day.
mircea_popescu: but that because internets sucked then
asciilifeform: they suck today.
mircea_popescu: i don't even see the value of maintaining the cd as a thing in the world. it can go the way of the celuloid film afaic.
asciilifeform: it is similar to the value of ~paper~
asciilifeform: bits that enemy cannot flip no matter how much he tries.
mircea_popescu: according to proponents. it's similar to the value of vinyl, in reality.
danielpbarron: the point of openbsd cd is to compare against downloaded version, no?
mircea_popescu: paper, i write and read with my own hands.
mircea_popescu: cds, not.
mircea_popescu: so paper is in this sense the same as --clearsign. a cd is not that, not even remotely.
asciilifeform: aluminum cd, in inert atmosphere, will easily outlast parchment.
mircea_popescu: and also it's trivial to rewrite a cd. most of them are rewritable realy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu : FORGET about the rewritables!!!
asciilifeform: they were NOT in the conversation.
mircea_popescu: they are rewritable to some degree whether you wantthem to be or not.
asciilifeform: SPECIFICALLY aluminum pressed cd.
asciilifeform: and no, it motherfucking is not.
asciilifeform: go, rewrite 1 bit for me.
danielpbarron: get nubbins` or someone to make some nice artwork on it and i'll buy
asciilifeform: in order for the idea to have any meaning, it has to be a pressed cd.
asciilifeform: (yes, with the glass die, and whole orchestra)
mircea_popescu: so to summarize : a) they're less resilient than you imagine them to be ; b) they're more rewritable than you imagine them to be ; c) keepi9ng them around requires keeping a whole pile of kludge that never worked right (cd drivers etc).
asciilifeform: demonstrate rewriting of al pressed disk plox ?
mircea_popescu: you wanna write trb by hand on stone, fine.
mircea_popescu: you wanna press a vinyl copy of it... whatevs floats your boat but dun go all fetish-hypster on me
asciilifeform: and what 'cd drivers.' modern drives plug through usb and enumerate as mass storage std.
asciilifeform: if you can connect any external disk, you can connect cdrom reader.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can we agree at least on the concept that the notation you'll use consists of making different sized holes for 0s and 1s ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they aren't simply 'different sized holes', there is reed-solomon encoding
mircea_popescu: yes or no will suffice.
asciilifeform: it is not enough to burn an extra hole with gigantic laser, if that is what you were thinking.
asciilifeform: (incidentally this is a first-class bitch to do with aluminum, esp. if you want the result to be visually inconspicuous, and not, say, a hole through the WHOLE disk sandwich.)
asciilifeform: it has good thermal conductivity. i can't make so much as a dent in aluminum foil with 40W co2 tube.
asciilifeform: there is a reason why cd-r uses dye rather than metal for the burn layer.
mircea_popescu: none of this is really germane.
asciilifeform: but let's posit an enormous tube. you will need to use excimer laser, i suspect. disk - will warp.
mircea_popescu: the cd remains a sort of vinyl disc, for a, b and c above.
asciilifeform: it is germane if it illuminates the hypothesis of 'can't quietly flip a bit on this'
asciilifeform: thus far - it stands.
mircea_popescu: it's more or less a 1966 argument that "it is not possible to alter a vinyl disc once printed because hurr durr the plastic will melt"
asciilifeform: 'a' is lunacy - there is NO more durable machine-readable storage presently known.
asciilifeform: cd laughs at magnetic field, at electrostatic discharge, has nothing that self-oxidates if in inert atmosphere.
asciilifeform: does not conduct current.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i gotta go to town. we can continue this when i'm back, but less symbolistic fetishism, more alphabetic monotheism plox.
asciilifeform: 'b' is an interesting hypothesis and i would pay to watch it demonstrated.
asciilifeform: 'c' is more defensible but we all have crates of usb cdrom readers.
asciilifeform also bbl

mod6: i might regret the notion of using wget someday, but I figured it possibly better than writing some native code in perl that would most likely utilize some module, or even importation of the module directly.

mircea_popescu: it's a sore spot, but it's treated properly imo : quite clearly in the open.
mod6: which, might eventually happen.
mircea_popescu: and the avenue to fix it is also well known. wget is open source. rebase.

mircea_popescu: i honestly dun see what the problem is here. what is the problem here ?

mod6: exactly.

ascii_rear: mircea_popescu: and your online build of buildroot et al?
mircea_popescu: also won't matter.
mod6: <+ascii_rear> mod6: see anything that doesn't make sense ? << not yet. was just poking through how you load this thing up (in src/shiva.h|.cpp) - also looking at how to define more operations
ascii_rear: mod6: the hacking.txt that comes with classical tinyscheme is helpful
mod6: i did dig through all of the src/shiva code too - but since im not super cluded on scheme yet, dont quite know everything thats going on there.
ascii_rear: there is also an 'example.c' floating around on the net that has moar examples
mod6: saw a lot of func pointers that seem to expose an interface into the thing tho
mod6: unless im wrong about what that was doing.
mod6: i guess that was all in scheme.h
mod6: i gotta digest all of this a bit. heheh.
mod6: thanks for the pointers.
ascii_rear: mod6: it took me ages to fully grasp how tinyscheme works. actually had to finish sicp for the basic mechanics of schematron to fully fall into place in my mind.
mod6: the thing thats a bit backwards is trying to learn how scheme works through the lens of C/C++
ascii_rear: the important message here is something else, the shiva console is not to be considered publicly exposable in any sense
mod6: for sure, just like you wouldn't want to expose your rpc port to 0.0.0.0
ascii_rear: it is intended to be a more dangerous version of existing rpc, eventually you will be able to flip arbitrary bits in the data structures with it
mod6: ah. right, with the debugging parts enabled. yeah, danger lurks.
ascii_rear: nono my point is
ascii_rear: it lurks ~now~
ascii_rear: tinyscheme is not in any sense hygienic.
mod6: point taken.
ascii_rear: (exploitable overflow was actually found in it, in 2012)
ascii_rear: but, 1) there is a skull on the patch for a reason 2) there is not actually an alternative to tinyscheme.
mod6: oh, ok. was that ever repaired? or isn't updated? i thought I saw the guys comment on his website that said "until i'm dead" or something?
mod6: was I dreaming?
ascii_rear: mod6: that one - fixed
mod6: ok
ascii_rear: but reading the code has filled me with disgust
ascii_rear: !s idiomatic
assbot: 16 results for 'idiomatic' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=idiomatic
ascii_rear: see latest thread
mod6: was tinyscheme a beter alt than minischeme simply because of its size and ability to fit in head?
ascii_rear: it is a descendent of minischeme
ascii_rear: that has programmable i/o ports and arrays
ascii_rear: we can't actually use a scheme that lacks these.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 116400 @ 0.00055816 = 64.9698 BTC [-] {4}
mod6: ah
ascii_rear: otherwise i would have used classical minischeme.
mod6: im gonna keep reading scim see what i can figure out.
ascii_rear: tinyscheme is the smallest (loc and complexity-wise) schematron that has these necessaries.
ascii_rear: scim?
mod6: i think i wanna try to work from tinyscheme/shiva -> C++ interface with bitcoind -- seems a more sane way to figure this thing out.
mod6: rahter than the reverse.
ascii_rear: there is much to be done there, incl. reimplementing the classical rpc hooks
mod6: err ya sicp
mod6: my bad
mod6: anyway, yeah, i feel like if we bring this thing into the fold, i aught to know what the back end is doing.
ascii_rear: but eventually we ought to be able to do spiffy things like writing my memory usage grapher ~entirely in shiva~, etc
ascii_rear: adding custom friend-or-foe stuff, or whatnov
ascii_rear: *whatnot
mod6: sure, there seems to be a bunch of power here in this tool - would be nice to harness that and make some useful stuff.
ascii_rear: the nice thing about scheme vs. some random bozo half-lisp is that it is an actual STANDARD
ascii_rear: so potentially we can write our own, eventually, to replace tiny.
ascii_rear: (there are hard tests for compliance, can run these)
mod6: there suprisingly isn't ~that~ much code.
ascii_rear: aha, as i said, it is the smallest known
ascii_rear: but very gnarly nonetheless.
ascii_rear: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-01-2016#1390327 << can we at least have the option of loading from local dir instead of www ?

mod6: you can do that just fine.
mod6: you don't ~need~ to run the init command at all
mod6: just create a 'patches' and '.seals' dir in the same dir as v.pl and you're golden
ascii_rear: what would be handy is if the thing could spit out a manifest of all the crap it expects to find
ascii_rear: i was thinking of buildroot
ascii_rear: and the deps
mod6: oh for like the makefiles and stuff? i think we were just gonna put the stuff in the shit dir iirc.
mod6: but then it pulls all kinds of stuff.
mod6: well, a dozen or so ya.
mod6: but anyway, if we wanna stuff all of that stuff into shit as well, then we need to hack on buildroot to not rsync it -- now we've forked our own.
mod6: or are you saying something different?
ascii_rear: nah the very same
mod6: i went down this road probably like in december or november or something. just was its own ball of wax.

pete_dushenski: "Because of this EPA wall, the market is currently dominated by low-level ethanol blends, such as “E10” (10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline). That has prevented mid-level ethanol fuels, such as E25 or E30, from widely reaching American consumers. If allowed full market access, mid-level ethanol products like E25 or E30 could prove quite popular with American consumers, who are increasingly concerned

asciilifeform: mod6: i officially pronounce the verstring patch to be buggy and unfit for inclusion in its present state
asciilifeform: will be happy to produce an antimatter patch for it if this is needed.
mircea_popescu: meh, how about fixing things rather than putting in and taking out.
asciilifeform: would love to, but so far i do not understand why the setting mechanism does not work.
mircea_popescu: i dunno exactly why it was decided to have it in, but now it's in, so...
pete_dushenski: ver 99999 is fine by me
pete_dushenski: does what it needs to do
BingoBoingo: Spreading works! (TM)/(R)
asciilifeform: likewise it appears that the shiva patch has an issue, you end up having to LC_ALL="C" ./bitcoind -shivainit=./shiva/init.scm -shiva getinfo
asciilifeform: to get rpc
asciilifeform: this is a 1 line fix tho
asciilifeform: here are 2 opportunities for eagle eyes!
mod6: <+pete_dushenski> ver 99999 is fine by me << yeah, this is fine. but the fact that it doesn't do what it should do isn't. i'll pull the patch tomorrow.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: isn't tmsr also what most every organisation everywhere since ever aspired to be ?
mod6: and i'll also have to "re-grind" my high/low S patch
mircea_popescu: well yeah.
mod6: (since its antecedent is PVS)
mircea_popescu: mod6 incidentally found the correct way to undo things.
mircea_popescu: everyone has to rebase and so will hate you if you make them do it.
mircea_popescu: this is a good thing.

asciilifeform: i'd much prefer antimatter
mircea_popescu: also crucially evident why patches must be thematic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and polarbeard would much prefer large patches. you don't get what you prefer.
asciilifeform: we did it for the db locks fix
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14700 @ 0.00056044 = 8.2385 BTC [+]
asciilifeform: but whatever
mircea_popescu: we weren't smart back then.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i'd much prefer antimatter << this imho sets kindof an nasty precedent: just adding anitmatter patches, bloat for the tree. a hundred years from now there might be more anti-matter than matter patches!
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure he gets it.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> we did it for the db locks fix << this is fair. would have to had to regrind everything after last march :/
mod6: and... its maybe slightly different since the first patch was inclued in the first release.
mod6: we cant exactly rewrite history there.
mircea_popescu: "let one stick suffice per cartload of china"
mod6: since this one is new, and its not in a release, its not horrible. i'd prefer just to fix whatever might be wrong in there and resubmit & regrind high/low
mircea_popescu: or however you say that in english.
mod6: asciilifeform: totally up to you in that respect.
asciilifeform: mod6: do what you must.
mod6: maybe i'll try to debug it a bit, see if i can get it to work.
asciilifeform: i'ma try & figure out why the version set thing doesn't go
