mircea_popescu: there's 3 or 4 principal ways to do it, 2 or 3 of which are very slight variation on the same theme.
mircea_popescu: miners will not only optimize txn to include in blocks per se, but also "whose pool to mine nao at"
mircea_popescu: this is a very neat way to solve an otherwise very thorny economical problem, and it will figure prominently in the future.
mircea_popescu: very simple mechanism to ACTUALLY improve your insurance : make a pool which pays 25.25 btc for the first block it finds each day.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: currently we're only burning something to the tune of 30GW
mircea_popescu: "Hypothetically, according to Robert Engelman (Worldwatch institute), in order to prevent collapse, human civilization would have to stop increasing emissions within a decade regardless of the economy or population (2009)."
mircea_popescu: nope. stable situation is where nethash is half the power generation.
mircea_popescu: by the time it gets to 50%+1 all these approximations will be a lot less approximative
mircea_popescu: amusingly, the proper measure for nethash actually is PW or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: that there's 6 blocks an hour and 24 hours in 24 hours ?
mircea_popescu: after all... we have fucking json in there for reasons!
mircea_popescu: it doesn't even dump that, which would be insane but at least it'd be insane.
mircea_popescu: "here's a logline. it's from fuck you o'clock. you're welcome."
mircea_popescu: and for the love of christ implement either rolling or else a maxsize for files or something.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in any case, then you could start it with -logs=emcb for all 4, or otherwise whatever combo thereof.
mircea_popescu: (speaking of which - de-stupidification of the logging process would be a fucking blessing already. debug.log, srsly ? how about error.log mempool.log connect.log blocks.log for starters ?)
mircea_popescu: 0^61, which is one hell of a coincidence that it should allign so right now! (same results can be expressed looking at the schwarzschild radius, too). )
mircea_popescu: (the problem, in the simplest terms, is that for h to be constant energy and spacetime must stay coupled. as such, it's impossible to have an original singularity (aka the big bang) seeing how everything solves neatly for a radius of 0, yielding a pretty field of 0's and a pile of nondetermined constants. conversely : in planck terms, the age of the universe is about 10^61, its radius about 10^61 and its energy about 1
mircea_popescu: (actually the only sane model of physical cosmogony i know doth require shifting planck constant, if ever so shyly)
mircea_popescu: so far the score's about a trillion to 0 the other way.
mircea_popescu: this conception of "novelty" is not so dissimilar to creationist's conception of darwinism. "he said my auntie's a dog!"
mircea_popescu: monkey-human divide cybernetically equivalent to non-recursive / recursive systems.
mircea_popescu: contemplation. that's the divide. reflexivity. once the hardware started doing recursion, it split.
mircea_popescu: it's a visual joke. imagine me saying "hmm, i wonder how best to do this" whille scratching the top of my head
mircea_popescu: or to put it in more familiar terms, you know why the german goes bald arouind the corona, and the romanian arfound the forehead ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. the difference between man and monkey is that man realises it's not actually worth the hassle.
mircea_popescu: this doesn't explain why young men are so undistinguishable from monkeys.
mircea_popescu: lest the academic has to publish to justify his high station, an' the inventor must invent, hence so many new inventions all the time.
mircea_popescu: now, whether a natural tongue or one surgically bifurcated is a change worth the mention... well... i suppose we must leave this up to the inventor.
mircea_popescu: trinque well, an argument can be brought that yours are a lot more cleaved. like, you know, you can separately desire to lay with the woman as in cuddle, to lay with the woman as in fuck her brains out, to lay with the woman as to impregnate her and so on. whereas poor simple he, just lay with the woman.
mircea_popescu: possibly a contributing factor in my distaste with the damned things.
mircea_popescu: eh, period in my life, i'd go to a party and inexorably leave with a half sack of books.
mircea_popescu: there's another great difference, which may be easier to ford. socialism - sacrifice now for later paradise. this - is enjoyable. now. so much so i have not the least care if paradise or no paradise, or as the old man of the mountain said to allah,
mircea_popescu: but no. your thesis is that "can only result in" goatfuckistan.
mircea_popescu: for instance, charge of electron can be measured even from white noise of antenna.
mircea_popescu: eventually, if nothing was cut off, duck in the yard can no longer resist the call of ducks in the sky and takes off.
mircea_popescu: but this is not unlike retarded mother bringing boy up in skirts.
mircea_popescu: now, it's true that miseducation can bring one up to think himself the other kind, whichg CAN be remedied.
mircea_popescu: it isn't up to them. some people dont' care. some do. they can't change this anymore than you can be a woman.
mircea_popescu: not like photons went you know what ? this planck constant's boring, let's get a new one.
mircea_popescu: the only news in the world is the history you didn't know and the measurements you took incorrectly.
