mircea_popescu: this means you get to do 4 old style hashings for each new style digest you calculate.
mircea_popescu: hash2 would have been the same for all nonces over 3, ie, 4, 5, 6 and 7. it'd have also been the same for all nonces under 4, ie, 0, 1, 2 and 3.
mircea_popescu: if in fact a shift by 2 was in effect, it'd be the case that hash1=f(header+7) and hash2 = g(digest(1)+1)
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron let's work an example. say the nonce is 7. this means hash1=f(header+7) and hash2 = g(digest(7)+7)
mircea_popescu: and if i hire an immigrant irishman as a carpenter, that STILL means he's gonna carpent in fucking new york, not that i'm paying his passage back to dublin to make me some doors and window frames there. wtf.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah, no. they'd have to get in wot and follow teh rules, of course.
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: so it does. it's one of those bits of reality that keeps repeating.
mircea_popescu: but the most interesting of all these threads - ever heard of one calogero vizzini ?
mircea_popescu: "i dunno, maybe most of you die in a large pit fire ?"
mircea_popescu: "what could POSSIBLY happen if we badmouth and boycott german goods ?"
mircea_popescu: and in the domain he knows how to contemplate, he is correct.
mircea_popescu: amorphous pockets the energy of resolution for which exceeds the destruction energy for the crystal.
mircea_popescu: it's a concept more correctly derived from crystallography, of which he's unaware :
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he means something very specific by "structurally defensive enclaves".
mircea_popescu: and YOU can just as well have a trusted computer to print out the digital store.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check it out, your idea of "auditable" maps exactly on my idea of "clearsign" yet you had trouble digesting that ?!?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: anyways asciilifeform : ever heard of one calogero vizzini ?
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: and this one particular whore seems hell bent on making life miserable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just because one whore was easy doesn't mean all whores are going to be as easy.
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: "The suburbs are doomed. Go rural or stay urban, where you at least have structurally defensible enclaves, as opposed to getting caught in the suburban net that was designed to put you at the mercy of teenage criminals when you are in your eighties." << to the uncharitable eye it'd seem south africa was actually an experiment rather than happenstance.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i mean i know gavin-moore law will "fix this in the future", of course, but this isn't how engineering works.
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:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-03-2016#1435045 << you';re better off with digital storage than analogic. even for the narrow cases where analogic usually wins (film archival) it's on the grounds of "preserving the original item, which was analogic rather than transform it in some manner the lossy-ness of which we can't evaluate", nothing more.
☝︎☟︎ 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
☟︎ mircea_popescu: much better stated like this than stated like you know, in the fiat wooden tongue. at least for my needs.
mircea_popescu: there's a list there. don't have to go through it as is, read it, think it through also works.
mircea_popescu: i take it's because you were too jwz to have invited him already ?
☟︎ 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: considered in general, "naturally" which is to say over an universal domain, "intelligence" is meaningless.
mircea_popescu: this underscores the principal point about intelligence, which is to say that it is an ex post facto construction outside the object, and consequently it can not either be objective, or objectively measured.
☟︎ 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.
mircea_popescu: i saw you with glasses on once, total accountant look. good enough for me.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude, the "enemy" has enough trouble finding its own arse.
mircea_popescu: he lives in washington dc and doesn't care for term propriety.
mircea_popescu: if you do - don't come to me to bail you out when they blow up.
