mircea_popescu: i dunno how to extract a sentence out of your last two lines.
mircea_popescu: (which is how this works, when my disintersted luddite view humiliates him he lashes out)
mircea_popescu: hard to do when there's nobody with a clue in "the team", obv.
mircea_popescu: of course, if you read the java-esque nightmare that "solidity" is, reimplementing eth as a small emu thing would benefit it immensely.
mircea_popescu: reimplementing bitcoin is not the end of the world anyway. the extant version is crap.
mircea_popescu: you want contact to my uci interface, we agree in advance, and i whitelist your key.
mircea_popescu: fundamentally uci is a lateral pill for the hardware problem, oddly enough.
mircea_popescu: main reason hardware is so centralizing today is exactly lack of this sort of marketplace,
mircea_popescu: "is your dec alpha/toaster/bitcoin miner pluggable into uci ? cool, then it makes money. no ? it's broken fix it"
mircea_popescu: the whole point of uci is for there to be no more platform in that sense. course, this seems an unlikely goal.
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying that we are, but WHY NOT must be stated, and in such a way 107 iq guy in 2049 reading this understands exactly wtf.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, -V means, be verbose. put your idea in explicit form.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that there's no specific check or test other than top | grep "ram" sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: if we do a "trust but verify" no agreement all code, we end up strongly decentralizing, but exposed to you know, thedao.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is a political choice mostly. if we do a "gentleman's agreement" and no code sorta thing, we end up strongly centralizing, army of lovers.
mircea_popescu: at the other end of the spectrum, it can just be open bash and well, don't take code from people you don't trust.
mircea_popescu: not the end of the world, 1700 business orders carried expiration.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if we do it like that will have to have expiration.
mircea_popescu: no i know, it's not on you ; just, the matter has to be discuss't.
mircea_popescu: silk road hurt the shit out of itself with "their own tools"
mircea_popescu: they know more holes in "their own tools" than you do.
mircea_popescu: bear in mind, we're not selling investors on this. cheap, broken, angry sample to iterate on is jus' fine.
mircea_popescu: even if you just run top and count ram/cpu it's close enough
mircea_popescu: anyway. uci is not gossipd. there is a good reason to implement gossipd OVER uci, but on the uci layer the thing shouldn't be concerned with this kind of security i don't thinl
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the tor model is, other than its many implementation warts, fundamentally broken i think.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm thinking a "independent nodes" sort of botnet, as opposed to the zombie windowze thing usually run
mircea_popescu: not entirely sure bash it is the right way here ; but it does cheaply (in cognitive terms) expose the system for usage. which is why ssh runs into a bash shell.
mircea_popescu: then uci responds with "script ran, results os and so, paqy here"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ideally it'd be more like "run this bash script"
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't necessarily be over irc, though irc IS rather resilient and we get the benefit of bootstrapping a major irc network if we bake it in
mircea_popescu: ie, uci admin thing advertises what it does, gets an order.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i would expect there'd have to be a management language for this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, feel free to propose refinements, ima edit it.
mircea_popescu: inb4 shinohai is all "how dare you dis my wife OMG VENDETTA"
mircea_popescu: shinohai meh, crappy rum crappy girl an wtf is with those ties.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, just the guy's private history. bulgaria wouldn't extradite him a few years ago ; before that was wounded in daghestan but survived etc.
mircea_popescu: lol yeah, didn't mean for qntra. just mentioned it because it seems to me the "isis" figthers were ru special forces.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's always a little disappointing when i hit the last lines of the logs ;/
mircea_popescu: so i posit to you that your problem is not even slightly a matter of "wrong knife", along the lines of, "if only i had hyfdrofluoric acid - could melt glass", but more of low energy. you wish to amass moar power not more knowledge, to dent teh pot.
mircea_popescu: thing about glass is - perfect material in low energy envelope.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is a chick contorting herself in an insane position so her own urine dribble falls in her own mouth while some standing guy is also pissing in her mouth.
mircea_popescu: more women use king.com apps than any sort of glass vessel! 10:1!
