mircea_popescu: once they get an actual suleyman, impalements have
a better chance.
mircea_popescu: anyway, impalement is what i'd do. established absolute ruler of great power and etc. isis isn't that, just
a swarming mob. of course they prefer beheadings, manlier.
mircea_popescu: "i dunno, maybe most of you die in
a large pit fire ?"
mircea_popescu: it's
a concept more correctly derived from crystallography, of which he's unaware :
mircea_popescu: and YOU can just as well have
a trusted computer to print out the digital store.
mircea_popescu: oh hey check it out, wikipedia manages
a 5k word article on "allied invasion of sicily" without the words "cosa nostra", "mafia" or "vizzini". way to go, history by the retards, for the retards,
a complete pie!
mircea_popescu: IF you can stay carefully out in
a domain where the newtonian approximation is close enough, THEN you'll be ok with that idea of intelligence.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron an important point to consider is the data & i/o meaning of "1 petahash". if each single hash requires 256 bits of data to proceed, you are looking at 32 petabytes of data that has to move. in
a second ? ouch.

mircea_popescu: phf for my curiosity, what's your classification of "b-
a rhetorics" ? anarcho-neoliberal ? deco-existentialist ?
mircea_popescu: (to explain my thought process to the curious bystander - i would have seriously considered the application of
a fiat-based receiver with provable practice but innocent of the wot over solrodar's ; i won't consider such over davout's. this means that in the past coupla days
a window for some people to actually make their corpses useful to the world opened and closed - notwithstanding their or anyone else's pretense to

a rhetoric toxic. but i'm guessing from spending much time with other members of that crowd
davout: well i did get that and read it, but i don't have any particular assets or connections other than my wot and history that put me in
a particularly better position than others to do the job
mircea_popescu: there's
a list there. don't have to go through it as is, read it, think it through also works.
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 00:55:05; mircea_popescu: i don't think you take my meaning. have you for instance ever auctioned
a domain name successfully ? are you well known in those circles ? anything ?
davout: mircea_popescu: ask something
a bit more specific maybe?
davout: that would be three-fold: not charge more than
a few percent for the whole liquidation, evaluate all claims against bitbet in light of its actual contract (and more specifically, the 3.2 (d) clause), try to get as much as possible from the non-cash assets, and (quite importantly) not disappear with the cash
mircea_popescu: this is the fundamental problem of ethics, that you can't have an intelligent justification of will, merely
a willful justification of intelligence.
mircea_popescu: will may give restrictions of domain upon which an intelligence function may be constructed so it's coherent, but this then doesn't provide
a method to justify the will upon which the whole construction is based.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to round up yest's discussion of intelligence : if your putative beast that eats its brain does so in an actual maximum point, then the behaviour of eating the brain is intelligent ; if however it does so in
a local maximum point that is later within its lifetime invalidated by events, then the same exact behaviour was unintelligent.

☟︎ mod6: anyway, think it over for
a bit. i'll get some coins into the foundation in
a few days and then will try to write something up that can be signed.
punkman: "We didn’t see any of this happening,” Ramos said. “They’re saying Michael wanted to kill himself. We just don’t know.” She said that Michael Ford’s mother suffered
a heart attack after police in Prince George’s burst into her house to search it following the shooting and that she is now at the same hospital as her son." << we just don't know, lol

☟︎ phf: this is
a borderline art project
kakobrekla: aha interesting concept but missing
a lot to make it practically useful
BingoBoingo: Anyways worldstar isn't
a tmsr thing, it's more an internet thing. basically If you sucker punch someone it is normally assault. If you shout "World Star" while you do it, it becomes instead
a prank.
funkenstein_: so you are comparing usistan to
a place you know nothing about?
mircea_popescu: there is no justice outside of the public forum. if party can not speak in public, it may not pretend like it has
a case.
funkenstein_: so in this suggested coin you have proof
a pool operator (aka miner) has
a full copy of the block chain
funkenstein_: its
a coin with multiple difficulties for each hash function they use
funkenstein_: could be added in
a la myriad, with separate difficulty
mod6: kakobrekla: if you don't like the weather, just wait
a few days.
funkenstein_: aha
a separate hashing of solely the proof of storage digest, this looks like it could work
mod6: but it's
a hell of
a lot more than you get when you just volunteer for some shit.
mod6: well, no one said you were gonna live off of 2 BTC
a year, unless you live on the dock and eat fish-heads for dinner every night.
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 00:14:09; mircea_popescu: and holy shit b-
a is hiring like crazy, where are all the people looking for jerbs,
mod6: *nod* yeah, needs to be editable in
a way incase of mis-quote or something.
mod6: shinohai: eh, I'd say more like
a really well kept-up wiki, but yea, that's kinda the idea.
shinohai: so make
a state of therealbitcoin address for dummies?
mircea_popescu: sorta like
a careful bash of technical discussions rather than lulz.
mircea_popescu: yeah but it's
a certain sort of job for
a certain sorta person.
mircea_popescu: course the other end is harder. who can even do
a good job of this.
mod6: ben_vulpes: any thoughts on this? If I dump 10 BTC to the foundation, will you approve 2BTC/yr for
a stenographer?
mircea_popescu: and holy shit b-
a is hiring like crazy, where are all the people looking for jerbs,
☟︎ mod6: naw, this is
a mod6 request.
mod6: unless we use
a flag, like BUTTSECKS.
mod6: we need like
a tmsr stenographer.
mircea_popescu: the thing is, currently nodes only need disk ; cpu is wasted. ideally
a node should use both, so that it makes sense to keep boxes as relay nodes.
mircea_popescu: now, your observation is correct in that this possibility puts
a hard limit on how much miners can be raped.
jurov: well then my comment still applies - miner can keep the nonce constant and churn hash1 by changing one transaction in
a cycle
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's not entirely impossible to make the shifting
a function of difficulty differential (note that there isn't
a rule BOTH hashes have to be under THE SAME number. if there's two numbers, you could have an equalizer algo that does the shift moving)
mod6: well, i guess one could just add in the shifting and then make it
a toggleable things.
mircea_popescu: knob 1 above decides whether to obsolete current miners entirely or just partially, and is
a [true] soft vs hard fork ; knob 2 decides how much i/o pressure to put on relay nodes ; knob 3 decides how much relay work to require in the mix.
mod6: it's too bad we're so time constrained on this, it'd be nice to see
a poc of both : with shifting and without.
assbot: The necessary prerequisite for any change to the Bitcoin protocol on Trilema -
A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1S52R51 )
mircea_popescu: out of every Nth preceding block, the nonce-th byte is put in
a string ; the combine hashed.
mircea_popescu: BOTH hash 1 and hash 2 have to be under
a number to qualify as
a found block.
mircea_popescu: in the proposed model :
a header is calculated, same way. to this, anonce is added, the combine hashed. this is hash 1.
a digest is calculated, on the basis of past blocks. to this, the SAME nonce is added. the combine hashed. this is hash 2
mircea_popescu: ok. so currently, for every block being mined :
a header is calculated ; to this
a nonce is added, the combine hashed. the resultant hash has to be smaller than
a number to qualify as
a found block.
mircea_popescu: healing the relay-miner divide, if in fact the thing on trilema does it, would be
a great one.
mod6: However, my main objective is still to finish up the v054 release before diving into any of that quite yet. It's my fault, I havent done jack-shit all month basically. I've been meaning to work with trinque and get these makefiles battle-ready, but have had
a number of meatspace things get in the way.
mod6: mircea_popescu asciilifeform ben_vulpes trinque phf, et. al., I've been mulling it over while i've been following the logs for some days now about what seems like
a good fork to have in our possession: at this point, im inclined to think implementation of Mr. P.'s outlined ideas are the best choice, currently.
mod6: <+trinque> mod6: what's the proper way to get you changes for v.pl? would be nice when press blows up to be told what vpatch barfed. want to just add that yourself? << hey, uumm... so yeah, i think it does tell you which one barfed on press. did you use (v | verbose) in there? or have
a dpaste of what it did?
