mircea_popescu: btw since
http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1545 was mentioned again, it must be said : "Not only are there times when one would like to seal a payload with a caveat of one kind or another, but presently we have no means of conveying disapproval – other than by refraining from sealing. The latter act conveys very little useful information, and no permanent sealed record remains of the effort taken to actually understand the patch.
mircea_popescu: as far as taming computors, there's the most serene republic, and then there's the everyone else.
mircea_popescu: there are teams with better history, because linux or whatever. i wouldn't however bet on the theory there are better teams altogether. and no, "secret meta-nsa" doesn't get to dent this discussion. because clinton lost.
mircea_popescu: never existed, even if you count bbses / webforums, the whole tree.
mircea_popescu: kinda gives a useful estimation of the total value of the whole rest of the ecosystem, i guess.
mircea_popescu: check it out, alf's fuckgoats + trinque's wot work + ben_vulpes 's brunnr + things -> btc goes up 10%.
mircea_popescu: but i lolled at the dry "a very long depreciation schedule, possibly inexcess of five years".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bonus points - got caught by... undercover operation! fancy this wonder.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : supermax prison in colorado holds among the child eaters &c a 70yo gent who for some reason plead guilty to "being a cuban agent for 30 years", two years after retiring from his job and three years after saying that the us-uk "special relationship" is a joke on the us side.
mircea_popescu: you know it's not a bad idea ot have recitals for these things.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in my mind this drove the reaction of alt-rsa in eulora, for instance.
mircea_popescu: well yes, the advantage being you don't have to know aforehand what you intend to use
mircea_popescu: "o look, mp often signs 85 kb strings of random letters"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you mean, "if i find aes collision, i can replace signed text with (longer) signed text" ?
mircea_popescu: it's no criticism whatsoever, it's confession. i'm working on it.
mircea_popescu: no no, it makes sense in what it is. its implications though, are far reaching. even something as simple as "how strong is your hash"
mircea_popescu: mod6 i confess i've not gotten my head altogether around the lamport thing.
mircea_popescu: more generally, maybe he's confused, maybe he's unhinged, maybe he's an asshole, but there's no bright mind promise in there.
mircea_popescu: suppose what's his face with the blog shows up, +rates koch and that other idiot, and -rates you and mod6
mircea_popescu: so if some guy shows up and negrates me you derive no information from this ?
mircea_popescu: but re the whole "each pope gets fisherman ring - and it is destroyed on death" alf concern - yes, having one's privkeys destroyed properly is pretty much the only worldly charge of men.
mircea_popescu: yeah, there's gonna be a bit of overlap/restating agreement as i go through the whole pile. sorry bout the department of redundancy department.
mircea_popescu: if you stop showing up, and some other dude for some reason ends up with your nick, such as through asking freenode for it say, he won't be able to voice himself - which encourages him to get a "fresh" nick.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576781 << actually, it IS the present trinque, and must be. in order to voice itself, the guy named trinque must talk to deedbot, and reply with the right challenge. so yes we forced the shitty freenode name system into a very strong thing.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576727 << no, actually it isn't. the signed V element is actually a deed ; it gets maintained by an alternative mechanism than the deeds because we're still working with all this shit and trying to figure it out. but fundamentally, it is a deed not a rating.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: yes, he had a high rating consisting of 500 idiots going "he doubled my moneyz!!!"
mircea_popescu: and of course there's the case of pirate, which hanbot actually analysed at length on the forum years ago, in retort to some idiot going "o see, the wot doesn't work, pirate had high rating"
mircea_popescu: there's the case of aethero, perhaps the best illustration of this. guy had a top 10 rating by any abstract measurement, lots of ratings from many people.
mircea_popescu: i think actually he was perfectly satisfied with what we arrived at.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and ironically i can give a negative evaluation in spite of my positive rating - other lady friend asks me about having kids with the guy - i'll tell her about daugther ; and if the daughter's not a total futz, if her drinking friend asks about dad he'll get a + notwithstanding he's an asshole. or maybe won't, depending on how much of an asshole he is generally. but there's the ambiguity.
mircea_popescu: the wot isn't a computable graph. i mean it's drawable, obviously, and the drawing's not futile, but just because the machine can draw it dun mean the machine grasps it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 not only that, but there's a lot of flexibility required in actual human intercourse. "x is a great drunk and a miserable father, so has - from daughter and + from me. i'm friends with the daughter and we fuck occasionally. problem ?"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576690 << too many ifs ; and for that matter the problem of "what to do with the intestate" is unsolvable in the general sense. the best approach is for the man to write a fucking testament already. there's deedbot for this purpose, it is wrong to you know, have an ethereum-powered mechanism to decide FOR gauss what of the coffin liners should be rescued.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: and we can have nice things such as fixed time keygen, such as "key generation takes 24 hours - come back tomorrow".
mircea_popescu: one particular angle would be that if we generate republic-rsa keys (see
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524210 eg) as opposed to koch-rsa keys then yes eulora server will have to dump its privately maintained wot to deedbot periodically ; but on the upside we get very cheap transition to the new format while maintaining all the backwards compatibility one could want.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: basically this will include a (hopefully improved) rsa implementation as part of the client. the details still very much in air.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576658 << the way i intend THAT to work is that client connects to server, by sending encrypted magic packet which includes its fp ; if server has that fp it sends challenge string and logs in the player ; if server has not that fp it sends challenge string and proceeds ot character creation. nice and streamlined.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: you will have to have ~a~ key online as a matter of course for the client to connect ; but it doesn't have to be THE key in any sense.
mircea_popescu: oh it's for them. i thought they had one for the luser lol. aaanyway, "The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances" << epic shit; i hope this spreads.
mircea_popescu: lol at beating danielpbarron gets in logs. dat trinque dude packs some punch does he.
mircea_popescu: no, i actually searched for "turbulent flow" as opposed to "turbulence"
mircea_popescu: o look phf, i can't link to the story of turbulent flow BECAUSE ITS NOT IN YOUR LOGS!11
mircea_popescu: ie, it's fully a liberal profession. (in some readings, a liberal profession is one where the sufficiently skilled practitioner eventually meets god.)
mircea_popescu: something like that. it's a little complicated, because there is some transcendence even in trade.
mircea_popescu: in any case - merchants, always of the strict practical persuasion, have no use for them ; and most of the "history" ie, retellings they produce is speculative.
mircea_popescu: the problem of interpreting structures of meaning without survivors is not trivial. which is why i said inept historian - the monumental tasks more often attract the idiots who don't comprehend scale than actually talented people who can take bites of reality the size of the moon.
mircea_popescu: so were bellbottoms the suck, or demonstrably awesome but hit by suck ray ?
mircea_popescu: hanbot can you read dead languages ? if not, why not ?
mircea_popescu: aid business WITH the keys. the manner of conducting business is left to the faculty of the merchant ; at issue is the reference point of said business.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-02#1576558 << well as it turns out, ratings are a lot closer to sexual intercourse than previously realised ; but in any sense what i meant was the point of reference (ie, i will fuck this curvaceous lady as the body presents itself and do business with fa9fblabla, which are the two presentations of the supposed same but otherwise uncapturable spirit). i didn't mean business BY the keys when i s
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "this account is authorised to draft up to 3 times sums up to 1 btc through direct command" and have people send you a signed thing to bump it.
mircea_popescu: trinque you can even have a system of "orders over X value or nth in a day have to be clearsigned" and have the user set X and n ?
mircea_popescu: trinque that's the consideration here. if you have the signatures, evidently people can trust you with larger sums, but how much larger i can not say ; but evidently you will need the management in place to be able to produce the materials on challenge.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the ratings of dead people are meaningless in the marketplace ; and only interesting to the inept historian.
mircea_popescu: i don't have a very strong opinion on the signing of payment orders. i suppose it's a tradeoff of convenience vs corectness.
mircea_popescu: whether they also should is i suppose in discussion here ?
mircea_popescu: so that settles that. nevertheless, orders to pay CAN have to be signed, because obviously they will be opposed to the maker during settling of accounts.
