a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 04:32 mod6: (my guess here, is that you're inserting heavily on the same table as you are trying to read from)
trinque: you oughtn't do that
trinque: sure thing is hateful, but you have one, can't use it wrong and lament
trinque: can you use a materialized view there?
trinque: to generate your work data, meanwhile inserting into the table the view reads from?
asciilifeform: i have nfi what this sentence means
trinque: process being "refresh materialized view" -> perform work on matview -> repeat
trinque: ok so there are materialized views, yes? stored query the results of which are written to a table
trinque: write one of those and perform your factoring work upon it
asciilifeform: stored query?
asciilifeform: trinque: understand, the gcd thing takes up ~3 minutes of db time daily. not a significant factor at all.
trinque: haben sie ein postgresql?
trinque: what db is this then
trinque: sqlite?
asciilifeform: postgres, sure,
trinque: ok, you said that you are reading and writing heavily to the same table

phf: i can't vouch for the current edition (with the colourful chronometer on the cover), becaues comments side that it's not just a reprent, but a revised text based on gould's notes.

mircea_popescu: i don't think trb updates your wallet balance in this case. it updates it when it sends something, it doesn't rescan for doublespends.
mircea_popescu: the receiver should see it ; the sender has nfi what happened, rescan will fix.
hanbot: oh goodie.
hanbot: say, i've also got a paytxfee reset to zero (was set last run)...what's this, also doesn't update w/o rescan, or wants a setting every run?
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure, but afaik trb still imports original satoshi assumptive boneheadedness in that it will not consider tx updating its own wallet which it didn't issue itself.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: option -rescan
mircea_popescu: i said that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: consider publishing your tx debugger as a trb patch ? (the thing that lets mircea_popescu answer questions like 'where is ea58f22fe5bbb4f42edb8be90a37f98b57af12007f7620f7ab94111a06ff3ebb ?' )
mircea_popescu: you know she just poked me with the same thing ?
hanbot: aha. and lol yeah.
asciilifeform: well yes, i am eating the l0gz
asciilifeform: hanbot: settxfee ( http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#0472 ) can be used to adjust a running node without restart
asciilifeform: ftr i see nTransactionFee as an idiocy, and imho the thing ought to demand the fee amount as a second argument to sendtoaddress
hanbot: yes.
mircea_popescu: the idea though is that you'd want to pay the same per kb for a whole period.
mircea_popescu: not a particularly bright idea - for one thing you may wish to prioritize txn
asciilifeform leans in direction of manual reactor control
mircea_popescu: hands CAN get tired you know
BingoBoingo: ^ When was the last time anyone coped with a coping saw?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: me. just last month.
BingoBoingo: And how were hands? Would you be seeking an alternative if answer was yesterday and every day since last month?
asciilifeform: actually if i did it every day, would have titanic hands and 0 complaints
mircea_popescu: homunculus hands!
BingoBoingo: But tiny carpal tunnels!
BingoBoingo: Sawing is fine good fun. Coping is the sort of task that lead to Doctor's adminishions to stop doing that and repetitive stress injury.
asciilifeform: to revisit upstack, ftr trb still does not have a tx debugger. when, e.g., mircea_popescu, asks me 'have you seen tx T', all i have is to grep the log barf
mircea_popescu: i am not against trb having a debugger
asciilifeform: way it oughta work is, say, 'findtx <tx>' and we get, e.g., '<tx> is nth in block B', or <tx> is in mempool', or '<tx> not seen', in all but the last case followed by hexdump
mircea_popescu: way it ought to work starts with finely dispersed listeners throughout the network, which i hesitate to place as a "every lord should have" type of obligation in 2017, but will eventually become
mircea_popescu: because the blind can't rule, as it were.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how does 'dispersed listener' differ from 'run many nodez, and they gotta have tx debugger' ?
mircea_popescu: well not substantially. except if "run many nodes" is done by idiot, spins up 500 aws instances.
asciilifeform: all aws vm are 1 node as far as asciilifeform is concerned
asciilifeform: 'if they all had but one neck' (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: this sounds shockingly dumb when stated, but then again in point of fact average usian has "many sources of information : reddit, wikipedia, six different fake news outlets + nature!"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when you wrote 'listener', i wondered if it meant something specialized and passive, a sort of pseudonode.
asciilifeform: ^ these include strictly those folx who built with versionstring knob. or rather, some quite arbitrary subset thereof (i.e. those not in a black hole atm)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615717 << i gotta wonder what the folx without 1+ working trb node, think they are doing.

asciilifeform: (and i will add: 1 is quite certainly insufficient, and 2 -- just ~barely~ enough -- to have real-time access to the network)
mircea_popescu: yes, because you don't want to commit the serious resources needed for a node on each of these boxen.
mircea_popescu: gotta distinguish between push and pull sort of needs, also. if you want to know "what is x" you want something substantially different from wanting to "let everyone know y"
mircea_popescu: exactly mirroring the signed/encrypted thing in tmsr.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been contemplating the correct way to make pseudonodes. way i see it is, it should still maintain a cache of recent blocks, and have a backhaul to mothership controlled by owner to request signed block checksums, and whole blocks if cache does not find; rather than accepting crapolade from randos
mircea_popescu: there is some value in accepting crapolade from randos.
asciilifeform: accepting -- possible; acting on -- none whatsoever
mircea_popescu: but this is also where heterogenicity of implementation is a major republican asset.
mircea_popescu: the reason i hesitate to publish the extensive mp alien techs wrt bitcoin infrastructure isn't simply the sheer size ; nor merely the political consideration of, "hey, there's a lot of value in enemy not actually knowing what mp capabilities are -- as widely exemplified in the public sphere by the march cartel trampling among who knows what private adventures"
asciilifeform: let's say 'pseudonode' is that which one makes, if you have 1,001 boxes with acceptable bandwidth, but small disk. (e.g., a botnet.)
mircea_popescu: but actually the fact that i think we'd lose out on a lot of value by not doing the v-tron thing here.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was pretty clear when you explained it here to asciilifeform during the july '15 events.
asciilifeform: the example with the horse.
asciilifeform for some reason failing to turn it up in the l0gz
asciilifeform: i will however note that my original vtron ~was~ openly published.
asciilifeform: some wunderwaffen work best in the field; others -- sitting in the vault.
asciilifeform: !#s fleet in being
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aye, reasonabru. i'll probably kill the web stuff and make the thing irc-only. not going to happen immediately, still planning out data collection system
ben_vulpes: kaloandia, heh. cloacaland?
mod6: The unusually warm weather provided me a banner day of hunting. Got seven myself. http://www.mod6.net/hunting_20170219.jpg
asciilifeform: those look delicious
mod6: they are tasty, indeed.
asciilifeform reports a successful replication of mod6's recipe http://thebitcoin.foundation/trb-howto.html , 'offline' variant, using his vtron etc. took exactly 40 minutes from the instance of making an empty dir to do it in, to having <5MB finished binary in my hands.
asciilifeform: congrats to mod6 and the other folx who massaged this.
mod6: awesome, thanks for testing!
mod6: o7
asciilifeform: and this was on an ancient and quite slow box, even.
asciilifeform: considering that this builds toolchain, gcc, linux kernel, busybox userland (currently unused), then trb deps, and then trb...
asciilifeform: pretty decent.
mircea_popescu: ha nice going mod6
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, it's glorious to watch. i would say we have a complete, reliable and quite elegant solution to the original mandate
a111: Logged on 2015-08-05 13:38 mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able to put into work the theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing to work, but not able to grow a beard".
mircea_popescu: 16 months is RIDICULOUSLY quick for something of this magnitude.
mircea_popescu: (and of course it's only 16 months in a very loose measuring, original v was published the very same month)
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ha nice going mod6 << Thanks! & Thanks to all who helped in the effort.
mircea_popescu: nice quarry too!
trinque tips hat
mircea_popescu: myeah, to borrow alfism, it's unclear what the megawatt of iron folk would have even done re this. it's not, afaik, a matter approacheable by corporate america.
mircea_popescu: as in, apple "could buy russia", but can't v in a year.
mod6: mircea_popescu: today was a gift. usually never hunt by this time of year -- too cold, too much snow in the fields.
mircea_popescu: snow is great for pheasant no ?
mod6: doesn't leave a lot for cover for the birds. we hunt in the snow, until it becomes un-walkable. once i did through 3-4 ft. drifts, and nearly had a cardiac event.
mod6: so now, i only go up to 1 ft, then I call it for the season. gets hard on the dogs too.
mircea_popescu: heh there is that
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, mod6 : next mega-advance will probably be to make it self-reproducing - i.e. to shit out a bootable hdd with itself. i experimented with this in the pogo era but hung up at the time on buildroot freezing, which was since solved by mod6
asciilifeform: so now it is quite doable
BingoBoingo: mod6 asciilifeform mircea_popescu or hanbot care to qntra up this milestone?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mod6's thing worked for a while now
mircea_popescu: it's kinda covered in teh foundation reports... but maybe an interview format thing'd be a good idea
asciilifeform: i'm just slow to eat
BingoBoingo: Well covered in reports, but interview or walkthrough would be welcome.
mircea_popescu: it's not an event is what he means. was a thing for a while now, it's just incidentally been brought up
asciilifeform: (at one time, buildroot demanded net access to work)
BingoBoingo: The things about the reports is the proceed piecemeal into thing like channel epihany today
mircea_popescu: there is that.
BingoBoingo: eventually all those little steps add up into "Holy Shit" good enough lesser people would stamp "done" and quit
asciilifeform: and yes, i revved up a fully mod6tronic trb to have what to patch against, my working copies are quite dated
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu provoked again my ancient itch for a tx debugger
mircea_popescu: well, that's prolly next mega-project.
mircea_popescu: some kind of share-able listener tmsr infrastructure. has a lot to do with the uci project.
asciilifeform: for now it'd be useful to simply be able to ask a proper node to search mempool and recent blocks
mircea_popescu: though... you probablty don't want to ask the node.
mircea_popescu: curious how davout 's work on splitting function is coming along btw
mircea_popescu: anyone looking into that ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> it's kinda covered in teh foundation reports... but maybe an interview format thing'd be a good idea << yeah, I like the idea.
mod6: i haven't heard on davout's progress recently.
mod6: testing on the new V seems to be going well, probably will publish next month.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> some kind of share-able listener tmsr infrastructure. has a lot to do with the uci project. << yeah, many exciting things are starting to open up.
ben_vulpes: "mostly reading" last time i spoke to himi on the topic
ben_vulpes: which, more of that please.
mircea_popescu: can't fault a man for that.
asciilifeform has been experimenting with a proggy that 'rides' a trb node, and takes over all comms with outside world
mod6: yeah, that project will take much thought and consideration. i applaud that approach.
mod6: asciilifeform: cool
asciilifeform: mod6: it was suggested by mircea_popescu at one time. but i can't seem to recall which thread
asciilifeform: it was in one of the discussions re 'how to cut apart'
mircea_popescu: last month or somesuch, you used the word condom
asciilifeform: ada proggy, speaks the protocol as defined by trb; but does not attempt to verify blocks, instead uses its 'horse' (trb node it rides) as an oracle
mod6: ah, yes. very cool. how's ada going for ya? I've only recently dipped my toe in that water.
asciilifeform: mod6: working through the spark b00k presently
asciilifeform: ( mccormick, 2015 )
mod6: ah, thanks.
mircea_popescu: 2017 is one helluva year.
BingoBoingo: 2017 is better with lollerRanger latest candidate release notes https://archive.is/Q5oD4
BingoBoingo: Prune moar pls
mircea_popescu: they got a problem, blockchain hasn't fit on any tablet apple markets for a year
mircea_popescu: now it's falling off thumbdrives also
asciilifeform: mod6: iirc crapple never permitted any actual btc client on its nintendostore
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^ rather
BingoBoingo: Also "assumed-valid blocks"!?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but they're cool kids, they patch
asciilifeform: mod6: the bulk of what takes 'getting used to' in ada is not the syntax, but the forced sanity, e.g. you get (grudgingly) a malloc, but not a free! idea being, you get to pick a memory footprint and LIVE in it
asciilifeform: keep racks of item around, re-use
asciilifeform: eliminates fragging, use-after-frees
asciilifeform: but a serious adaist avoids using heap at all!
asciilifeform: creates all of the items the program will need in its life, on the stack at boot.
asciilifeform: (language has features that make this practical, such as discriminated-records)
asciilifeform: the other interesting bit is the task system. language was designed from the ground up to have sane concurrency. can make 'throwaway' processes , that pass data in intrinsically safe ways
mircea_popescu: now that's cool.
mircea_popescu: "PRB should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently tested on them."
mircea_popescu: ahaha. so basically... they give up, right ? unix-like ie 100% of the net infrastructure. prb is officially a toy, not to be run seriously.
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615687 << fwiw, receiving wallet does see amt sent. meanwhile trb restarted with -rescan shows same balance as before, which we now realize *had changed* following transaction just...not by amt sent. to wit, listtransactions sees original balance, sees correct sent amt with fee, nevertheless balance via getinfo has mystery-difference. which shows as a negative, and only value, via listaccounts.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 18:44 mircea_popescu: the receiver should see it ; the sender has nfi what happened, rescan will fix.
mircea_popescu: lol dat wallet.
hanbot: you figure this wallet in particular has a pox?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems like they meant 'unixlikes other than linux and crapple'
asciilifeform: (going by the linked piece)
mircea_popescu: other than ubuntu and crapple you mean ?
mircea_popescu: half the piece is about dumbass half-transparent overlays and making me a sandwich while shutting the fuck up.
danielpbarron: https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber >> they said that I didn't show any signs of an upward career trajectory. I pointed out that I was publishing a book with O'Reilly, speaking at major tech conferences, and doing all of the things that you're supposed to do to have an "upward career trajectory", but they said it didn't matter and I needed to prove myself as an engineer.
shinohai: ^ for BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: who could have guessed doing with the gab isn't doing something!
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron surprising no one, a) there was exactly no work done by the "engineering" company uber, at any point and b) piles of worthless bureaucratys each trying to use their own brand of identity politicsw to "get on top"
mircea_popescu: us "tech sector" is basically the bros vs the cheerleading sluts vs the librarian dorks vs the etc highschoolorama.

thestringpuller: oh and frozen. don't expose your kids to it.
