mircea_popescu: the important difference is
that
this was not reusable but
throwaway code.
the requirement was "calculater result" not "write program"
mircea_popescu: once you found
the misspelling you found it and ere you found it
the
text was just as correctly spelled as it will be after you find it : "as far as i know, correctly spelled"
mircea_popescu: testing only reveals
the presence of errors, not
their absence. sure. and guess what ? reading code with human eyes, also. and so on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you proposing what exactly,
that out of an array of ineffectual methods we're
to choose one and stick
to it ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-15 18:50 lobbes: And yeah, horrible
to read
to boot
mod6: In
that case, I have a bit more simplified version of mine
that more closely resembles what I started with before.
mircea_popescu: these premises are dependent however on diversity of implementation. (remarkably,
they are not dependent on correctness of implementation ; but
they are dependent on correctness of
treatment of divergence, ie, no "consensus-building", ever, at all)
mircea_popescu: in other words,
the republican model significantly reduces costs and, incredibly enough, introduces a new revenue stream.

the universe did my inferior american education deprive me of?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-15 18:45 asciilifeform: lobbes: it isn't
that
this doesn't work, but
that
the effort needed
to verify
that you didn't somehow miss one , is substantial
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-15#1698273 << verification happens
through coherence. if one man writes one program
to do one calculation,
that man must check
that a) his implementation is correct and b) his design actually does
take from input
to output if correctly implemented. if however
the lordship writes a dozen+ programs
to do
the same calculation, no one man needs
to verify either a or b for his own item UNLESS
there's
☝︎ mod6: using PeterL's method, i get
the same number with openssl
PeterL: try
this: print a list of
the primes up
to 100 or 1000, remove one at random,
then
try
to spot which is missing just by looking at
the list
lobbes: And yeah, horrible
to read
to boot
☟︎ lobbes: True. Plus if someday I need a bigger list,
then I gotta go editing hardcoded lists vs just flipping a parameter somewhere
PeterL: it's a basic brute force primality
test, what is wrong with it?
shinohai: 13:40:00 @gmaxwell (also for sending out
transactions people can use many other options, including SMS and snail mail--- a
txn is so small you can just communicate it however else you communicate. Snail mail is slow, but if you're only communicating with
the outside world via
that already...)
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: so it
turns out, i never heard of gut
tb because you generally need aids
to get it. and back when i was reading
they didn't have aids just yet.
mod6: im not sure i know how
to code
this.
mod6: i
thought it was 1*2*3*5*7*11*13 ... all
the way up
through whatever prime fits into < 4160 bits.
mod6: maybe i misunderstand
the request.
mod6: this primorial
thing is gonna run for a while eh
mircea_popescu: the chumps. do you have any FUCKING IDEA how chumpy
the esltarded chumps are ?!
mircea_popescu: i'm
tal;king of
the nobodies on a stick herp0derping importantly
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't care about
the fucking shrems involved. we know
they're smegma.
mircea_popescu: cuz
that's what
the fucking wheel is, a REQUIREMENT. like
totally optional.
mircea_popescu: and
the fucking littoral compressed lulzship doesn't require wheels.
mircea_popescu: they're so fucking stupid
their continued existence is an insult
to humanity.
shinohai: 12:27:29 Socal Mircea_popescu no it isn't it saves on bandwidth costs and doesn't require internet
to get
the BTC blockchain
mircea_popescu: "look mom, i'm just like
the nigger on
tv!
talking of
the satcom portion!! would you like
to hear more meaningless words ???"
mircea_popescu: "<Socal> Ah ok I don't know about FIBRE I was simply speaking on
the SATCOM portion"
shinohai: "Go
to
the #blockstream-satellite IRC channel on freenode for additional help."
mircea_popescu: present
tense is merely a political requirement in
the vein of "subway hero must be not white"
shinohai: First you get out
the crayons and build
the prototype,
then .....
mircea_popescu: but
to summarize : words are slowly fuzzed in
the desired emotional direction.
mircea_popescu: rather : prison is
the only employment he's qualified fopr
shinohai: He missed a lot of
teh logs in prison!
mircea_popescu: he STILL doesn't know how
to run a node ? after all
this fucking
time ?
shinohai: Charlie Shrem on
twatter: "Bounty: I want
to run a full node and connect
to @Blockstream satellite. Sell me a DIY kit with all requirements"
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu remembers
the day mycobacterium was called "koch's baccilus"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i never heard of
this before ? i mean, lung, bone, some vacuous organs. but gut ?!
shinohai: tl;dr I'm afraid
to get picked apart if I come
to #trilema, I prefer
to stay on steemit and feed idiots full of shit.
mod6: thanks for humoring me
though
mod6: having
to do
the 'rename'
mod6: a
topic for further discussion i suppose.
mod6: looks cleaner. not sure it is necessary
though.
mod6: ah, ok. so you gotta add a subtype for
that.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "the
taking of pelham 123" is one helluva usg-film offering. we find
that "wall street guys" r criminalz,
that everyday mta riders are heroic (even if a little half-breed), and all sorts of good and valuable citizenship lessons for life!
lobbes: aka, I get
the same output as both of PeterL's runs
a111: Logged on 2017-08-14 17:20 mircea_popescu:
this is actually going
to be
teh magic number of
the republic. so at
this juncture i would like
to ask everyone
to compute "the largest primorial (ie, product of all successive primes)
that fits in 515 bits", sign it and put it into deedbot.
