mircea_popescu: not particularily correct ; should iterate over patches, check sealness ; act accordingly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform his reasoning is fucking broken ; same time means nothing, if he found difference it might've meant something
mircea_popescu: mod6 in any case if you'd have never written the thing you'd have never found this thing. so you know, it's always worth losing fingers.
mircea_popescu: 't think you're an expert email or vim or bash user after less than a year and that's about how long v's been around.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587625 << you gotta appreciate scrutiny is very inelastic. many people used their own implementations ; discussion of others' versions only meaningfully starts after some localized familiarity etc. in any case "being qualified to even use v" is an iffy thing - seeing how it's a novel design, and the novelty is fundamental and conceptual, nobody is technically qualified to use one. you wouldn
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: in all honestly if i were archeologist and discovering this i'd flip the bozo bit on this "tmsr" bs for this here reason.
mircea_popescu: in the same way fuckjing an ugly broad is a use of your cock.
mircea_popescu: the nearly psychotic OUTRIGHT REFUSAL TO USE CRYPTOGRAPHY, in its universal insistence is starting to grate on my neverse.
mircea_popescu: if you want to not be bothered with signing things - make a shit key and use that eg in an emacs module or as an output script or w/e
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they aren't. the correct solution here is to have "automated low value signature process", NOT "to bypass signature checks".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and when i provide you with a toilet, you'll stop pissing in the bath tub ?
mircea_popescu: with the test key ? why not ? fucks with your workflow ?
mircea_popescu: there shouldn't be any flag - nor should it press unsigned things.
mircea_popescu: better off making a test key and adding it to seals than this
mircea_popescu: i dunno where this truism that "people like people" comes from, but it is spectacularily resilient in the face of unequivocal quashing irl. NOBODY, past the age of about 5 or so, likes almost anybody else to even the degree of toleration, let alone actually seeking them out. not even fucking women, hence the prostitute's job (not to fuck - but to leave after!)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform come to think about it, everyone, including modern folks regularly barf upon that encounter.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587492 << this neatly dovetails into "brain is not a thinking machine". "if you exist in the space long enough, eventually brain will work to think about the space - but if you do not, sorry buster, "probability can not be larger than 3 because 3 is the largest it could be".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: from his discussion of artistotle it's not evident. maybe he was.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, it's just not apparent dutch is aware this includes dutch.
mircea_popescu: it's easier to not suck than to explain how to not suck, even in particular cases.
mircea_popescu: certainly the attempt worked wonders for pete_dushenski writing readable articles. what exactly made his previous work less good than his current work ?
mircea_popescu: the above problem not having a known solution, even if heuristic in nature, being a large part of why.
mircea_popescu: so far i'm opting out of the entire "systematic slavery" thing ; it is a private not public matter entirely opaque to they-who-aren-t-me, which makes me-as-slaveholder rather divine in nature.
mircea_popescu: (yes, /me does this routinely, and the complaint routinely is presented that the severity is arbitrary etc.)
mircea_popescu: and this is a problem of much more practical import than commonly realised. if slave is punished for things she "should have figured", how to you connect the lash count / severity of the punishment to the offense ?
mircea_popescu: the question of how you metric these things re emerges.
mircea_popescu: it'd better be something that compares favourably with aristotle's dimensional calculations, too! because you're so much more advanced than the zulureeks!
mircea_popescu: it is altogether dubious, also, HOW will you metric these distances.
mircea_popescu: but not shorter than from volcano to glass ; or from acid to battery.
mircea_popescu: "they didn't know lightning is available in store - thought zeus only item. so they didn't make tesla coil. problem ?"
mircea_popescu: maybe that's why no steam engine in pelopones transit ?
mircea_popescu: (srsly, i sat there and went holy shit this is so obvious wtf is wrong with us.)
mircea_popescu: come to think about it - ONLY RECENTLY you found out thyobatteries exist!
mircea_popescu: you can make it in an hour! what were all these people thinking! clearly all languages but objective-c were wrong! false gods of a false reason!
mircea_popescu: but forget glass. ~everyone had potatoes even if they didn't have lemons, and tin and copper. who made galvanic gold plating process ?
mircea_popescu: but the general point here was that undevelopment or underdevelopment is not much argument.
mircea_popescu: ~everyone from golden crescent to mongolia and sweden had it.
mircea_popescu: i dunno alfie. lava - hot. behind it - glass. doesn't seem more of a leap than what is proposed for the original "cooking meat" discovery, which supposedly is why we're even here.
mircea_popescu: adn so on and so forth. i doubt much conclusion can be drawn from this absence.
mircea_popescu: you'd think "it;s on your fucking body - right there! and it works!" would be sufficient basis. turns out not. volcanoes produce obsidian but do not appreciably help the locals make glass.
mircea_popescu: so she'll still frottage the shit out of teddybears as a 19yo because hey.
mircea_popescu: and to add amusement to this : of those who do discover it naturally, only a fraction figure out THE PROCESS. most arestuck repeating the exact procedure that they originally discovered.
mircea_popescu: and i wouldn't even think it fair to say that the other two thirds are dumber or something.
mircea_popescu has personally taught a bunch of young women. about say one third discover it naturally ; but the rest do not.
mircea_popescu: you know, prior to the internet MOST GIRLS didn't know they can masturbate ?
mircea_popescu: or having had volcanoes and not coming up with glass ?
mircea_popescu: (and before you ask - yes, cyclotron CAN be built with materials found in classical athens, why not.)
mircea_popescu: i mean heck - they had atomic theory and didn't even build cyclotron
mircea_popescu: or the famous "x should be enough for everyone", be it bytes, cray computers, what have you.
mircea_popescu: (is the shape of the smoking crater polygonal or circular ftr ?)
