snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 13:52:44 asciilifeform: ( hey spies, y'know you can simply read the log ? )
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939654 << sorry, what ? did i miss something here ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 14:05:26 mod6: asciilifeform: I don't see a reason to keep it up, because it isn't being used. Let's let mircea_popescu weigh in on this though. Anyway, I'm totally fine if you want to invoice the foundation for what you spent on it.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939660 << for my own archival needs i am satisfied the pope didn't so much "lose" china as... got to keep italy (and most of the old spanish possessions).
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 16:26:10 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939609 << dug up a source this this and it's pretty interesting. apparently the papal idjits lost china very similarly to how lost japan.
mp_en_viaje: think for the sake of argument how "not losing" china'd have looked : 2/3 of cardinals born over there within less than a century ? last italian pope in 18th century ? last euro pope so long ago nobody over here even remembers it ?
mp_en_viaje: it was, amusingly, the chinese emperor who lacked subtility ; not that i fundamentally disagree with his first pass evaluation. but it is he that's the simple native in the relationship, on last examination.
mp_en_viaje: japan nonsense immensely less defensible on these same lines, of course/
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939685 << which makes it easy to forget (not that i'm defending it).
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 20:36:24 asciilifeform: lobbes: imho it really aint too much to ask, for folx to mark version in the piece being altered, considering that bot has own version (changes moar rarely than reader)
mp_en_viaje: the one advantage of http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-02#1939683 as a general policy of the republic would be that it'd permit more meaningful / informative version reports. ie, "snsabot bot I am bot version 596907, "added mustachios and removed pistachios", by dillaudildo." in lieu of "snsabot bot I am bot version 596907."
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-02 20:35:30 lobbes: wonders if it is worth it in next patch to have bot.py simply parse the MANIFEST.txt for version number emitting
mp_en_viaje: !q version
snsabot: I am bot version 596907.
mp_en_viaje: took me a while to figure out wtf there's a spurious "bot" in there. honestly asciilifeform i don't think adding text after the name is acceptable. maybe a [B] prefix for the name ? ie instead of "snsabot bot I am bot version 596907." do "[B]snsabot I am bot version 596907."

mp_en_viaje: same story with n-iște f-iște [cine] etc.
mp_en_viaje: as always, romanian "dictionaries" made by tards, deeply unqualified to be away from munca de jos : https://dexonline.ro/definitie/miri%C8%99te quotes some imaginary bulgarian "мерище", that aside from not actually existing in bulgarian (there exists a town in Країна Хорватія whose name's thusly spelled IN UKRAINIAN though, of course, of course), can't even possibly be
mp_en_viaje: the root, seeing how me ain't EVEN CLOSE to mi. not AT ALL, not even vaguely how these things work whatsoever.
mp_en_viaje: anyways, the etymologically closest english for miriste would perhaps be "real estate". it derived through different paths and ended up co-opted into different usages by a very differently built up imaginarium ; nevertheless it's what it is : cunt in its used up state, the world autumnal.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, tirgoviste, "marketness". what both london and washington ever aspired to be, yet never figured out how to state.
mp_en_viaje very much protests re http://thetarpit.org/uploads/2019/10/targoviste-04-thumb.png creepy designation. not creepy at all, just... has had a hard life, but nevertheles... is very happy to see you! 
mp_en_viaje: re Vlad IV, one notable aspect could be that he was at least 70yo when he died. puts things in perspective, doesn't it, to think that he was certainly alive by 1425 and yet only ascended in the 80s. supposedly this sorta longevity wasn't supposed to be possible, at the time, at the margins.
mp_en_viaje: dude died of natural causes while everyone else around him mexican standoff'd each other.
mp_en_viaje: thar shit about the turks cruelties and barbarities whereby they came by the hundred to "kidnap" a woman and some children (ie, her owner reclaimed her) and otherwise stole some bees and ~THREATENED~ to rustle cattle (who the fuck warns of this, srsly now)...
spyked: mp_en_viaje, must admit to not having read most of the chronicles of the time, but still irked by locals' attempt at turning voivods into national heroes. "mihai had the purpose of reuniting romanian principalities" my foot.
mp_en_viaje: yes ; but in blank wholesale countermanding of rural naivity one doesn't end up with a nuanced worldview. ends up with symmetrical rural naivity.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939727 <-- really liked the house, but dunno why current owners decided to put a scarecrow (scarehuman?) at one of the windows. prolly because largely abandoned? there were similar houses in town in top shape.

mp_en_viaje: it's somewhat a pity he was born before they figured out how to make houses, thus he's just as useless in practice as yest's discussed schloss.
spyked: mp_en_viaje, /me hoped to find moar about these in the museum of history. unfortunately museum had trouble keeping the lights on, let alone present interesting deeds of vlad iv. and it was like this most places, they simply kept lights off until we showed.
mp_en_viaje: but what can you do.
spyked: *showed up
mp_en_viaje: anyway, vlad 4 aka"the monk" seems rather like a local stoic, in the aurelian tradition.
mp_en_viaje: but data is scarce (mostly becayse rotards too stupid to learn turkish, go to istanbul, read archives ; and nobody else gives a shit so far)
mp_en_viaje: but above recipe could readily make an ACTUAL romanian scholar, whom the rest of the rotards could pretend doesn't exist and "be surprised" etcetera, like they do.
spyked: lol. at least they have a phd at sorbonne.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939722 <-- huh, indeed. niște/fiște didn't pop out, /me went straight to miriște/bobiște/cânepiște

spyked apologizes to diana_coman for the upcoming headache

asciilifeform: boy still wearing the helmet. driver asks, 'kiddo, do you know what the penis is ?' boy, puzzled, 'no sir'
asciilifeform: asks again : 'boy, do you know what is to cum?' boy, again, 'no sir'
asciilifeform: asks again, 'boy...' finally boy takes off helmet and utters : 'sir, i fess up, i dun know these things, cuz i aint a REAL WELDER!!!'

lobbes thanks bvt for his regrinds and efforts
asciilifeform: folx w/ mathematical inclinations, invited to comment re auto-sync algo described in #o .
snsabot: (ossasepia) 2019-10-03 asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is correct, and in fact is moar serious, from mathematical pov, problem , than appears at 1st glance
diana_coman: asciilifeform: better state it here though
diana_coman: asciilifeform: why use timestamps rather than log lines number though? I don't get how is that better at all; ie give syncer "last known ok line", should drop anything with id > that for the chan; then import everything with id > that from the reference
asciilifeform: diana_coman: aite. proposed algo , is a manually-triggered item that 1) takes a 'breakage point', i.e. last known correctly logged line represented by tuple [chan, index] . 2) finds its timestamp 3) drops errything in db postdating said timestamp 4) walks list of peer loggers, fetches for each enabled chan, errything from last-known-idx i to i+500 5) 4 is repeated until returns <500 6) then takes the ~longest~ such result, from the s
asciilifeform: et of loggers that returned valid outputs 7) eats.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: idea is to sync all chans , rather than having to fire per-chan.
diana_coman: ah, you mean the timestamp as cross-chan reference point locally
asciilifeform: correct.
asciilifeform: so, to complete the picture, this algo is guaranteed to work correctly if a) one of the peers actually contains the complete log segment for time T .. present b) no one speaks in the interval while it operates c) the timestamp T correctly represents the cutoff
asciilifeform: (c) in particular may be violated if there are recently imported (from peer loggers) lines in the db .
snsabot: (ossasepia) 2019-10-03 asciilifeform: diana_coman: there is 1 potential point of danger re the described syncer -- if the 'break line' chosen was ~itself~ imported from another bot, it may result in unwanted droppage ( there is no guarantee of monotonicity of timestamps except as written by ~one particular~ bot, atm )
asciilifeform: (b) may potentially be violated during any given shot .
asciilifeform: (a) may be violated if one of the loggers is not merely missing lines but is in some way broken .
diana_coman: in principle if one runs it with bot *disconnected*, a talk within the sync interval simply requires a re-run rather than breaking anything, no?
diana_coman: or hm, the "longest sequence" may be misleading
asciilifeform: diana_coman: entirely correct, re disconnected bot ; though someone may speak ~as it reconnects~
diana_coman: true; honestly, the only reasonable sync that I can see is literally bots talking to one another ie ...gossipd, no?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if one or more of the peers contains the truthful record of the interval, the 'longest' algo will select that peer.
asciilifeform: trouble starts if ~all~ are broken.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ultimately yes
asciilifeform: tho even then you would have to impose conditions re what happens when 2 or more peers disagree.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: my point re misleading longest sequence was if new talk in between getting sequence from a and from b, causing b to be longest just because latest retrieved; anyway, I don't think it can be done a whole lot better at this level really.
diana_coman: ie for what it is, it's fine.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: hence why i will not propose it as a fully automatic mechanism, i.e. part of bot reconnector.
asciilifeform: if diana_coman et al know how to turn this algo into one suitable for automatic operation, i'ma take off my hat, and write it.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: no, I don't think it can safely be fully automatic or not at this stage at least.
asciilifeform: re 'b may be longest because it heard N+1st line before others' is entirely valid point btw.
asciilifeform: if someone speaks while this algo is carried out, correct result can ~not~ be guaranteed.
asciilifeform: it is given strictly as a mechanized version of the thing we do presently when a bot falls.
diana_coman: aha; and as such, it should ask for operator confirmation before delete + insert
asciilifeform: absolutely must ask.
asciilifeform: and atm there is no way to weasel out of the work of manually checking the result against yer personal running session.
asciilifeform: ( it's the only way to avoid missing a line that was 'in flight' as the proggy ran, elementarily )
diana_coman: tbh that's the main reason why I didn't reach for "automate it" - because a lot of it still remains manual; it's more this multiple-chan the trouble perhaps than anything else.
diana_coman: anyway, I'll read & try if you publish it
asciilifeform: diana_coman: even if only had 1 chan, same fundamental problems apply.
asciilifeform: ( aside from the timestamp thing )
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I meant that multiple-chan is the part where automation wins here; otherwise retrieving the lines + drop/insert is anyway semi-automated at best for the above reasons.
asciilifeform: atm the hand-operated sync only feels practical because there is very little traffic in most of the chans. if all 6 were burning hot 24/7 , could take many hrs of frustrated cranking to actually sync'em all.
asciilifeform: incidentally, lobbes seems to have made a 7th ?
asciilifeform: lobbes do you want it logged by the orchestra ?
asciilifeform must go to meat, bbl
diana_coman: asciilifeform: true re very little traffic in most chans as only reason why one can still sync manually, yes.
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-03#1939858 << hm, that channel is/was intended to serve as my cvasi-castle. Registered it some time ago and copied the naming format ala "#trilema-mod6"
