Bitcoin script that terminates with multiple values on the stack Updated 2025-07-16
BitcoinStrings.com Updated 2025-07-16
bitcoinstrings.com has all
strings -n20 strings, we can obtain the whole thing and clean it up a bit with:wget -O all.html https://bitcoinstrings.com/all
cp all.html all-recode.html
recode html..ascii all-recode.html
awk '!seen[$0]++' all-recode.html > all-uniq.htmlawk to skip the gazillion "mined by message" repeats.A lot of in that website stuff appears to be cut up at the 20 mark. As shown in Force of Will, this is possibly because they didn't use
-w in strings -n20, and the text after the newlines was less than 20 characters.That website can be replicated by downloading the Bitcoin blockchain locally, then:
cd .bitcoin/blocks
for f in blk*.dat; do strings -n20 -w $f | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ${f%.dat}.txt; done
tail +n1 *.txtRemove most of the binary crap:
head -n-1 *.txt | grep -e '[. ]' | grep -iv 'mined by' | less Bitcoin varint Updated 2025-07-16

- The Quantum Story by Jim Baggott (2011) page 10 mentions:and the footnote comments:
Early examples of such cavities included rather expensive closed cylinders made from porcelain and platinum.
- 1859-60 Gustav Kirchhoff demonstrated that the ratio of emitted to absorbed energy depends only on the frequency of the radiation and the temperature inside the cavity
- 1896 Wien approximation seems to explain existing curves well
- 1900 expriments by Otto Lummer and Ernst Pringsheim show Wien approximation is bad for lower frequencies
- 1900-10-07 Heinrich Rubens visits Planck in Planck's villa in the Berlin suburb of Grünewald and informs him about new experimental he and Ferdinand Kurlbaum obtained, still showing that Wien approximation is bad
- 1900 Planck's law matches Lummer and Pringsheim's experiments well. Planck forced to make the "desperate" postulate that energy is exchanged in quantized lumps. Not clear that light itself is quantized however, he thinks it might be something to do with allowed vibration modes of the atoms of the cavity rather.
- 1900 Rayleigh-Jeans law derived from classical first principles matches Planck's law for low frequencies, but diverges at higher frequencies.

Black holes nearest to the Sun Updated 2025-07-16
Interesting to note that there are quite a few nearer than Sagittarius A, as of 2022 we know of one at 1.5 kly: universemagazine.com/en/discovered-the-closest-black-hole-to-the-sun/
It is interesting that a few months earlier there seemed to be no known specific black holes in the Milky Way: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2022/hubble-determines-mass-of-isolated-black-hole-roaming-our-milky-way-galaxy although their count is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.
Blade server Updated 2025-07-16
HP Blade Server by Brian Kirsch (2013)
Source. Featuring an HP DL380 blade server, presumably an older model of this series: buy.hpe.com/uk/en/servers/proliant-dl-servers/proliant-dl300-servers/proliant-dl380-server/hpe-proliant-dl380-gen10-server/p/1010026818.
In the video we can see that it contains RAM, disk storage, we are told about two CPUs, and networking interfaces, so it is a complete computer on its own. He also explains that unlike typical rack servers, each blade unit does not have its own coolers and power supply related hardware, which goes instead on the chassis.
Blaise Pascal Updated 2025-07-16
Good film about him: Blaise Pascal (1972).
Good quote from his Les Provinciales (1656-57) Letter XII, p. 227:French version reproduced at: www.dicocitations.com/citation/auteurajout35106.php.
All the efforts of violence cannot weaken truth, but only serve to exalt it the more.When force opposes force, the more powerful destroys the less; when words are opposed to words, those which are true and convincing destroy and scatter those which are vain and false; but violence and truth can do nothing against each other.Yet, let no one imagine that things are equal between them; for there is this final difference, that the course of violence is limited by the ordinance of God, who directs its workings to the glory of the truth, which it attacks; whereas truth subsists eternally, and triumphs finally over its enemies, because it is eternal, and powerful, like God Himself.
