mircea_popescu: see, pre 2000, romania had VERY strong antibodies against what jim&friends discuss in
that
turkey article.
mircea_popescu: also for
the sake of humanity, "The
teleology of
this phenomena should probably begin" is a broken sentence. a
teleology is any
theory of purpose in realia. so you could say "any attempt if describing
the
teleology of
this phenomena should probably begin" or "the
teleology of
this phenomena should be expressed in
terms of" etc. it dun work like "description" or "philosophy", it works like for "substance" or "relevancy".
phf: there's an hour disparity between mp's
tmsr-logs and btcbase, so i need
to figure
that one out..
mircea_popescu: not really. facedots get circles once you finally got
the fucker, for isntance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway,
they never got semantic, a la ru prison
tattoos. most girls got what
today'd be called "tribal" shit
phf: would you also happen
to remember which
timezone
that would be? :D
mircea_popescu: also at a
time and place where listening
to depeche mode wasn't merely happenstance but more cultural identification and political statement
than a
trump
tshirt
phf: asciilifeform: do you have some of your very old logs, can you grep for "sawdust in
the gearbox, apparently
timeless." and let me know what
timestamp on
that is?
mircea_popescu: but
this is from a very insular culture, where for instance lesbos had it very easy : "does she wear anklet ?
talk
to her."
mircea_popescu: well some
things were important, such as : did she get it somewhere her parents might see ?
mircea_popescu: this i suspect is
the ancient,
tribal, functional usage. "modern" my left foot.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, no hymen = fair game. and as
there was need for easy visual identification
to know whom
to invite
to parties...
the sluts got inked.
mircea_popescu: anyway. when i was a kid,
tattoos meant a
thing and
that
thing only : she fucks.
there exists no majority age in romania, a girl's a woman
the moment she starts doing it, which can happen as early as 12,
though as a rule it's more around 15.

thestringpuller: way
to use
trusted agents
to eciently enable
timed release crypto "
thestringpuller: point being seems like solution
to
trap door is similar
to distributed PoW
thestringpuller: i kno
that. we discussed in 2012. 4 year discussion now eh?
thestringpuller: well isn't solving a block
the same as finding a
time delay crypto puzzle?
thestringpuller: the only way
to do
that would be
through some kinda consensus mechanism
thestringpuller: you can't prove
the
trap door function doesn't exist cause you can't prove you don't know
the keys
to
the puzzle
thestringpuller: iirc
this was in 2012 logs, cause i remember you saying similar situation
to "nLockTime" (altho we discovered more
turds
there upon further inspection)
thestringpuller: well
the paper is from 1996, it was just intriguing how familiar
to PoW it was
mircea_popescu: the overhead is : i encrypt 1 number, and communicate 127 numbers
to 127 people
then
their responses
to 127 people.
mircea_popescu: sure. log2(340282366920938463463374607431768211455) = 128. which may still be
too much
mircea_popescu: but
these have ~nothing
to do with
the weird objections raised.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the main problem with
the algo described being
that if i want
to multiply 2^2^7-1 with 2^2^11-1 i'm stuck requesting 340282366920938463463374607431768211455 discrete additions, which isn't worth doing in any possible universe.
trinque: hm, perhaps
the problem is one is
thinking of completely untrustworthy flat
topography of grey-goo nodes, and
the other, in-wot nodes?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if one "reduced"
to all
then set
theory would be a funny place indeed.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-19 23:51 mircea_popescu: btw phf did you load
the old archives yet ?
mircea_popescu: every one is always going
to be representable as "in a kettle".
mircea_popescu: this is a fundamental strategical choice, and it is not getting reviewed. which is why
there isn't a geographical republic.
mircea_popescu: for all i know
the guy has a point ; but we've not
to date managed
to put it in
terms i can read.
mircea_popescu: trinque he has a serious issue with
things
that i don't yet fully grok, but i can not presently distinguish from
this irrational meltdown and
the irrational meltdown on
the gossipd spec.
mircea_popescu: i'm not interested in
the branching, will be happy
to have a bignum machine
that's securely separable via uci.
trinque: mircea_popescu is afaik proposing
the communication of
these is encrypted; asciilifeform is seeing
them
transmitted in
teh bare
