mircea_popescu: and not for lack of
trying, with always
the same abject results.
mircea_popescu: the reason man is
the head of household is
that he can do juyst fine without woman ; not vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: yeah,
there is.
the fact
that node can't reproduce miner but miner can reproduce node.
mircea_popescu: whatever attempt
to "turn
the cock against
the man" will fizzle just as soon as man feels like it.
the cockbearer is a matter of fact not a matter of convention.
mircea_popescu: yes, but here's
the only important lesson of life : it is NOT POSSIBLE
to adminstratively decide who are
the chicks and who are
the cats.
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough,
the whole segwit
thing could be best described as "a rather braindamaged attempt
to implement half of stan's casks"

trinque understand
the problem with "I will also be piling up
the signed material for my records" : if during your lifespan you manage
to lose eg a 30yo hdd, because you've built a reviewable system
those
txn will be reviewable. are you on
the hook now for refunds ?
mircea_popescu: (imagine how well
this handshake'd have worked on any other venue, hurr.)
mircea_popescu: in fact most usecases
that don't reduce
to "we know each other so really we don't need bitcoin in
the first place" fail
to be served by your scheme as it is.
mircea_popescu: b) i point and laugh at some idiots.
they demure. i ruin
their shit.
they bitch and whine. i now have
to specifically go on
the hunt for nodes
that DON'T lend an ear
to
the idiots bitching and whining ? on my own
time & dime ? why
the everloving fuck.
the entire fucking point of even having cryptocurrency in
the first place is so
that i can rape eth, and flaunt
the rape, and nobody can do jack shit other
than flimsly psychode
mircea_popescu: and if i
try
to meet some...
they don't roll anything down... a day later finally someone rolls something down and so i put my
txn in and it... doesn't get included. wtf is
this shit ?
mircea_popescu: a sixth, also major problem is
that
the system offers no serious guarantees
to
the user.
think of some situations : a) i mined some bitcoin back in 2011,
today i clean out
the closed and boot up old laptop,
to check out
the
tits and bits of ex gf who was back
then hot and heavy into me. i jack off, and
then snoop around and find a bitcoin wallet with ~500 btc in it. i go
to spend it... and discover...
that i know no nodes...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: on
the internet"),
the closest
thing is google-ish "advertising bidding" whereby google presents you with some details about a click and you have less
than 300 ms
to make a bid, which it matches and delivers ; b) is VERY likely
to cause major delays. your system would, on
the basis of pissguessing, require hourlong blocks or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: a fifth, major point is
that
the current ~ten minute blocks are predicated on loose coupling of "casks" (current situation can be deemed
to be
that all miners roll infinity of casks at all
times
to all comers, and all pubkeys are nil) and no negotiation whatsoever occurring either downward or backward.
the dual-negotiation system you propose instead a) has never been
tried in practice (which practically reduces
to "can't work
mircea_popescu: a fourth, minor point, is
that you have your market primitives ass-backwards. no price formation is ever envisaged
to have "asks may depend on bids" as an edulcoration of "asks are fixed ; bids are fixed" because it is always possible
to produce a pricing function for
the product (based on cost) whereas it's never possible
to produce a pricing function for
the demand (demand is a psychological, not a physical phenomenon).
the
☟︎ mircea_popescu: a
third, and rather major, problem is
that you will have serious
trouble creating fixed width
transactions in general.
the reason is
that
the amount of information itself varies ; you can pretend
to push
this inconvenience all
the way
to
the user ("hey, always use
two inputs and
two outputs and fu!") but it's somewhat unlikely
to ever stick.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: moreover you even want it
to invalidate blocks, which is certainly
too much. how is a node
to even know.
mircea_popescu: (fellow was
trusted by "everyone"
to have best infos as
to
the situation in europe ; when he offered half price for
the bond
tranche everyone erroneously decided napoleon had won.)
mircea_popescu: if however i offer half
the "current price" for a share, i am not so engaging. moreover
the case exists in history, for instance at
the root of
the rotschild fortune
mircea_popescu: there's a different, much less notable problem wrt
to what constitutes "a rotten fill". if i go
to
the stock market (i mean
the old, gentlemany, pit of hand gestures
thing) and bid "sentiments" for a certain share, i am in fact engaging in retarded behaviour, on
the level of sjwing, and will, and should be kicked out.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: to demand miner makes a certified statement
to
the effect of "offset 0xa
to 0xb in block y is reserved for
txn 0xc" is putting a constraint on
this p2p system
the likes of which it can't conceivably bear.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's a reason a man will fuck ~any woman he encounters naked or in any even vague kind of peri-nude state. without
this property, reproduction'd have long ago failed.
there's similarily a reason miners currently accept absolutely any
txn into a pool of liquid shit.
mircea_popescu: nd disciplined 1:1 casks and fills ratio strictly declared at arbitrary points in
time.
mircea_popescu: there's a major problem with
the very
tight coupling your write-up may be read
to envisage wrt cask filling.
there are, as far as reality goes,
two lists : a list of available
txn slots in blocks, which is fixed and aforeknown, and a list of desired
txn, which is neither fixed nor
truly aforeknown.
the workers moving
the latter into
the former (miners + nodes) are necessarily going
to have serious
trouble doing a very fixed a
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re your piece (you know if you had intelligently published it ON YOUR OWN BLOG i could have left a comment
there instead, and in a year or whenever
this were
to be reviewed we wouldn't have
to go grepping
the logs like idiots) :
mircea_popescu: wtf "nothing sexual happens". in a fucking
theatre ?
that's insanity.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: also something something mildly
transgressive with
the homostuff
trinque: and
thus I lost interest entirely
ben_vulpes: trinque: horny
teen girls need a culturally sanctioned place
to be horny in public, 'twas
the best most of america had post y2k
ben_vulpes: i don't much know about paths out, but hatred is definitely
the fuel for
the
torch i use
to burn a moat around my
tiny castle.
trinque: ben_vulpes: lady friend
tried
to explain rocky horror
to me once, did not make it
through my
thick skull
trinque: not
the only ingredient of sanity, but it clears
the field.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-21 22:48 mircea_popescu: and
then she hates her parents.
trinque: to anyone born in a cultural sewer, hatred is along every path out, even/especially
the laziest one.
trinque: that
the character which embodies
this is "AI" is not important; it's behavior is entirely human
trinque: while harlan ellison is still on
the mind,
to a young
trinque, his story was one of
the first (yes) indications
that
total rejection of others was a
thing.
trinque: I'll be up early with a fresh mind
to read.
mircea_popescu: ay, ima go do
things
to people now. will read it
tomorro.
phf: trinque: it's double entendre in a musical form. she's singing about a girl who likes lollipops, but of course everyone know what
the author (gainsbourg) ment. later she grew up a bit and had a falling out with gainsbourg once she learned
the
trick
mircea_popescu pictures
trinque in beatles uniform, "michelle... i don't speak
the language... but i can perceive
the hole..."
trinque: I don't speak
the language, man, but I saw
the lollipops
mircea_popescu: but
that monroe / lemmon
thing is prolly descriptive enough
mircea_popescu: 40s. 40s is fucking big band / andrews sisters and nobody giving a shit about getting
the clap.
phf: i actually
thought
that shangri la clip was from
the 40s or something, hence
the "serge gainsbourg later ..." :o
mircea_popescu: in
the background,
there's
this steve martin - kathleen
turner movie in which she's a black widow and he's a brain surgeon. woman has nice legs and a fine disposition ; what a fucking waste of a reel.
mircea_popescu: "bitch, i bet you didn't even get your cock sucked until i
taught your mistress how."
mircea_popescu: makes it real hard
to
take any "conservatives" seriously dunnit.
trinque: my god she
turned sideways and sorta wiggled
mircea_popescu: they at least have
the common sense
to whisper rather
than squeal. how
the fuck people manage
to put up with
the squeal is beyond me, but if
this is music why not fuck pigs.
trinque: the weird sexual constipation
that
thought
this was racy
mircea_popescu finds fake lesbian
teeny bopper "show me
the money" russian frauds much more appealing.
trinque: wtf is
that bun on her head
trinque: I waited
the whole fucking video!
mircea_popescu: there's no general rule
two bit crack whore can't do an epic strip number.
mircea_popescu: im not even sure it's
terrible,
the piece. but
the author is certainly
this mercenary hack, would-be-copywriter-if-anyone-were-hiring sort.
trinque: cheap porn did
too, and for similar reasons
trinque: liking
the pulp? nah,
the misanthropy fit my early
teens just fine.
mircea_popescu: might as well be connected
to "far east spirituality", seeing how it's just about
the same
thing, bored, idle and useless middle class cali chicks
trying
to find something
to do with
themselves
that would still be useless and improductive.
phf: i'm
thinking klezmorim as reinterpreted
through
the 60s do your own
thing prism, "happenings", clown with an accordion being "playful" and "weird". it's hard for me
to fully connect
this line because
the whole scene is repulsive
mircea_popescu: there was an actual ro/ukr folk
thing in
the late 1800s, however.
mircea_popescu: course if youi mean
the 1970s bs,
then you're just about right.
mircea_popescu: but it's improper
to link him
to klezmer like it's improper
to link hot
topic
to "teenage angst".
mircea_popescu: and yankovic was iconic at some point in
the (late) 80s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dont worry about it, people routinely read 5k+ word
trilema pieces, and
they're not even specifically about something.
mircea_popescu: think harlan ellison, or
the fucktard
that started scientology.
phf: asciilifeform:
the usual 5 people on
the channel, and
the one dedicated shadow NSA agent
that's assigned
to
this channel
BingoBoingo: phf: You aren't missing anything.
The problem is your brain is working.
phf: i don't understand weird al. it's some weird post-hippy
take on klezmer, but i feel like i'm missing something, some kind of intermediate step
trinque: indeed, I see
the guy's session
though and I screwed something up last update
