mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i chastise, yes, but i don't believe in destroying the woman. canes, not clubs.
mircea_popescu would pay money for snapshot of alf awaken at 6:30 am by baby ; after having slept on guest bed over @ portland.
mircea_popescu: anyway, how about you know, downtown. afaik dc is about 60% female by mass
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> where? antarctica ? << no, atomic diriglandia. it's a wonderful place!
mircea_popescu: it took me a while to buy one that wasn't uv-led powered.
mircea_popescu: they can't make a plane or maintain the roads, but by god have you seen how superior their flashlights are over the orcs' ?
mircea_popescu: actually to risk going on a limb : the us is an ex-industrial pwoerhouse, made pseudo-rich by uninspired finalcial arrangements. the degeneracy that necessarily came from that picked a tiny topic and is making the glory of past days play out all over it. that topic is flashlights.
mircea_popescu: it boggles the mind, what the fuck people are doing with flashlights over there these days.
mircea_popescu: because there's a humongo market of ... flashlights, of all things, in the us. and trying to invent value for it so the assburger'd males keep buying them
mircea_popescu: the task is : to compute a) and b) for N2`, N3`` and all N4s.
mircea_popescu: G (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) -> N1 (a, b, c, d) / N1` (e) / N1`` (f, g) -> N2 (a, c, d, e, f) / N2` (b, g) -> N3 (f, c) / N3` (a, b, c) / N3`` (a, d, f, g) -> N4 (a) / N4` (b, c) / N4`` (a, c, d, e) / N4``` (a, f)
mircea_popescu: i could hash out a more complex example if it may help, since this NOTATIONAL FORMALISM (see that alf!!!) actually solves the problem of saying graphs. something i wasn't going to do before not because you can't display them, but because im too lazy to draw em.
mircea_popescu: this is the counterposed thing. in this case, i would wish for N6 to know that a) abc and b) c ; whereas for N4 that a) abc and b) a OR b and finally for N2 that a) abc and b) a Or B or C
mircea_popescu: what i said then phf was, i must be able to tell a) which people in total contributed and b) on what sets of people does the present press depend.
mircea_popescu: this gets to the core of what i was asking of phf to do with those lists.
mircea_popescu: of what ? no, it's not a tie, is c running off with the count
mircea_popescu: in this situation, "longest chain signed by ab) is 4, longest chain signed by c is 6. what is longest chain signed by abc ? 6 too ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider this problem for a moment if you will : have people a, b and c ; have nodes as follows : G(a,b,c) -> N1 (a, b, c) -> N2 (a, b, c) -> N3 (a, b) / N3' (c) -> N4 (a,b) / N4' (c) -> N5 (c) -> N6 (c).
mircea_popescu: aite, i see. really should drop the latest it's confucksing
mircea_popescu: so by latest you really mean something like "virgin nodes"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note that longest per se is meaningless.
mircea_popescu: but this is not really a cogent consideration. as far as levels are concerned, this "current" one would be just qas much l1 as all the other direct-G descendants.
mircea_popescu: how would it be among "Current" leaves. we don't have a notion of time.
mircea_popescu: i also confess to mentally having an imaginary pre-G as a master node for all the various G's such as shiva's bitcoins v's etc.
mircea_popescu confesses to still thinking of v tron in terms of tree not exactly dag.
mircea_popescu: im not sure what his idea of level was, prolly not too strictly defined.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my idea of "level" was "all patches taking a certain hash as input"
mircea_popescu: well the feature isn't interesting in itself, other than for this discussion.
mircea_popescu: and if you want everyone to change his, you are basically building on promise.
mircea_popescu: that is not hte protocol, that is the spec of one implemen tation among many
mircea_popescu: what specifically would prevent me from later making a non-alpha-sorting V ?
mircea_popescu: this nailing down... stick to nailing the mechanical gfs. reality has no holes.
mircea_popescu: why should a tool become a means by which you may pretend to enact determinism out of absent such ?
mircea_popescu: the notion itself, of the basis you propose, seems to me problematic.
mircea_popescu: i don't want anything, whatsoever. and i still don;t care what the effects would be.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is nonsense. by that rule you should hang.
mircea_popescu: like it or not, part of us, like the iliterate mother part of napoleon.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha, it is the source of where it starts.
mircea_popescu: and this matters in the sense that ximenez of spain really was interested in whether the witch had or hadn't orgasmed with the devil.
mircea_popescu: the discussion is whether the cause is problematic or not.
mircea_popescu: "shitting i nthe soup is not a problem, not all the floating turds are mine!"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> doubt i'll get to it today tho << "there's all this delicious administrative shit to fuck around with early, who has time for codings!!!"
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it still mostly uses one core no matter what you do
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes wasn't a matter of [person who was once branded a lord] [can have seat back for asking]. it was a matter of [person who was born with the mettle and greatness of being a lord] [can have a seat whether they had one or never did just by basically existing in their grandiose state].
mircea_popescu: PeterL no such thing! they can self-apply that, easy enough to verify.
