mircea_popescu: see, had you stolen and sold some soviet tanks for scrap in 2009 you could have moved to ba in 2013 and been looking for an engineer to join your workshop today.
mircea_popescu: no, that was before nefario, theymos, goat & the rest of the friends split.
mircea_popescu: not really, started by glbse, maintained by every single non-mpex "bitcoin business" to date.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to reassure teh investors : s.nsa actually does have 456.01462284 in cash, should the company be wound down today it would distribute ~9626 satoshi per share to investors.
mircea_popescu: apparently the "lose half your money" thing is still with the btc public huh.
mircea_popescu: company with 9980 satoshi/share in capital on the books nevertheless trading at 5500. now that's one hell of a performance.
mircea_popescu: unlike any other concern, s.nsa pays everyone ~100% of what theyr work is worth
mircea_popescu: anyway, in the even keeled view of the matter, a person can only be participating in one death march at a time. since you're working with some other company, and it doesn't seem to be wanting to list itself, we need an engineer actually working for s.nsa ?
mircea_popescu knows that he's supposed to be doing management for the thing and has no product whatsoever to show the investors THREE years later! this is the 3rd xmas.
mircea_popescu: i suppose s.nsa should actually hire more engineers ? whadda ya think ?
mircea_popescu: but if your thoughts are figured out before you sell the thing, you will forever be looking for a job.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field just think of this beautiful illustration of doing > thinking. just like you had your thoughts figured out by someone else, so will WE have these figured out by someone else. endlessly.
mircea_popescu: don't tell me if we were in 1715 you'd have been the sort that actually distinguished the slaves.
mircea_popescu: the next one will be called something else, and so on.
mircea_popescu: doesn't matter. did anyone buy's 21co's PREVIOUS potato, when it was called neobee or w/e the shit it was called ?
mircea_popescu: as it is, it's free marketing for "21co"'s next potato.
mircea_popescu: if only we had a cardano ready to ship so this discussion could double as marketing for the s.nsa next product.
mircea_popescu: the motherboard has some memory on-board for the indexing and internal kitchening, and otherwise you maximize the strengths of ddr while escaping all drawbacks
mircea_popescu: the whole txn memory mapping could be a soac thing, and you just plug memory sticks into it which each becomes a ring.
mircea_popescu: this thing, incidentally, is where we would immensely benefit from actually having silicon.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field quote as to "opened my eyes", i know where the concrete hole is from
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of work can be done to minimize wastage in this, but the fundamental problem is solved.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the <jurov> lol part : there's a very obvious optimization where you go a) i want to fit this struct ; b) is there space ? if yes fit it if no c) kill the lowest per-byte value struct in there go back to a
mircea_popescu: or w/e memory space one wants to allocatge to the "mempool"
mircea_popescu: but a firm guarantee can be offered that for as long as you allocate structs smaller than n, you wioll be able to fit them.
mircea_popescu: how to do either of these is a problem of optimization outside the scope of this discussion.
mircea_popescu: whenever you want to add something, you put it in the available hole. if you don't have a hole you kill something until you do.
mircea_popescu: you separately keep an index of what structures you have in there (offset, length).
mircea_popescu: n bytes are allocated to "ring buffer", from offset k to offset k+n. the convention of reading this is that structures started at k+n-m that are m+p bytes long continue from k+n to k and all the way to k+p
mircea_popescu: actually, i suppose i should go into detail as we have no good reason to suspect we actually agree on anything but the words. so :
mircea_popescu: jurov you don't reorder them physically. you just keep the ring's index up to date.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you misunderstand the "play with pebbles". it's doing stuff like playing angry birds on iphone.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: socialism is this great system to take hot chicks and smart boys and make them all play with pebbles until the day they die.
mircea_popescu: from my admittedly limited experience with socialist states... they all eat the same shit.
mircea_popescu: to quote the richest standup comedian of all time, "wouldn't it stand to reason that the air in your room comes from the very city that room is in ?"
mircea_popescu: "oh, she's only a slut i nthe hood, she washes up nice when going downtown"
mircea_popescu: i mean haskell, i get it. pseudomathematicisms that are too gnarly to grasp and so pass muster.
mircea_popescu: "If the space of possible messages is larger than the size of , then Cramer–Shoup may be used in a hybrid cryptosystem to improve efficiency on long messages. Note that it is not possible to split the message into several pieces and encrypt each piece independently, because the chosen-ciphertext security property is not preserved in this way."
mircea_popescu: "Cryptol is a domain-specific language for specifying cryptographic algorithms. A Cryptol implementation of an algorithm resembles its mathematical specification"
mircea_popescu: anyway, none of this is even practical without mass cardanos, because iirc c-s consumes even more entropy than rsa.
mircea_popescu: seems like the dream application for lisp, but what do i know.
