mats: I haven'
t read this paper yet, so I may be recalling a discussion of it
mod6: give these a compile & quick test if you don'
t mind and then upon confirmation, I'll update the mirror.
☟︎☟︎ adlai doesn'
t even understand enough probability theory to phrase question properly
adlai: shouldn'
t somebody who understands parimutuel betting better than the average bitbettor make nearly risk-free profit if the outcomes add up to "over 100%"?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: "@HillaryClinton Shouldn'
t you be in jail for #WhiteWater" << My daily dose of social media trolling
mircea_popescu: these are both very nice things, and the good news is that it's much easier for you to become very useful than it is for alf to grow another arm. so don'
t take this as a censure per se. does all that make sense ?
mircea_popescu: as annoying as b c etc might be they're mostly minor and could be fixed by a further patch. a however is a killer, and colors both b and c in similar tones, because it betrays the fundamental problem with this patch : it doesn'
t flow from a structured approach given in depth consideration, but merely from your desire to help and impressive stamina.
mircea_popescu: so basically polarbeard here's the thing : i considered signing this, and i will consider signing the next version. as it is however i won'
t do that, because a) not all errors have both flags set ; b) occasional ' in error message ; c) occasional losing a valuable datapoint (such as the hash above) or missing on adding a useful one (nStart).
☟︎ mircea_popescu: + return error(SBLK "block %s doesn'
t match index", GetHash().ToString().c_str()); << it really doesn'
t work if you don'
t use the flags!
adlai: ;;later tell ben_vulpes see what happens when commenters can'
t find the comment box!
adlai: correct, same as how extension block (adam back's original name for what morphed into the "segwit softfork") payments don'
t /count/ until you withdraw them to cold, hard, bitcoin
ben_vulpes: i believe that i understand how it could be implemented softly, adlai, but it doesn'
t /count/ until it's verified.
adlai: ben_vulpes: did you see my comment? this could be implemented today by miners already and you wouldn'
t have known of it
mod6: the history you don'
t know... or how does it go?
mod6: i didn'
t know he was a crypto guy
mircea_popescu: mod6 vaguely unrelated points. the owner's death guarantees a key with an expiration date will expire ; it also guarantees the trust for it needn'
t ever be updated - dead men tell no lies.
mircea_popescu: think about it lol. it didn'
t just fall from the sky, it's a construct!
pete_dushenski: the number of sports where one isn'
t saddled with other idjits (and their trivial hierarchies) are few and far between. thus i grew up doing swimming, golf, badminton, tennis, running, yoga, etc.
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 23:24:07; pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: mhm. can use mounting bracket too if you don'
t feel like taping it on. i guess the 2.5" size meets the 90% of buyers using it for laptops and the 10% of buyers using it for desktops aren'
t excluded either.
fluffypony: [01:51:34] <psztorc>The secret is that he isn'
t arrogant at all -- only pretending.
BingoBoingo: gernika: I don'
t know about them and SSD's.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: mhm. can use mounting bracket too if you don'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don'
t need to explain what i meant by not finite then ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag he has the right method tho, you know ? what in beginner writer classes is called show, don'
t tell.
ben_vulpes: well polarbeard likes to pretend as though i don'
t exist until he finally does what i ask, and even then refuses to ping me on the topic.
danielpbarron: (it doesn'
t matter who actually submits the deed, as long as it's blessed with WoT sig)
ascii_butugychag: wouldn'
t prove anything re: 'it could go away' in re: ~workstation~
mircea_popescu: you don'
t see how it's a step or how it's the right direction ?
thestringpuller: Isn'
t this fundamental to achieving some sort of ~actual~ security?
ascii_butugychag: and if kaspersky really did sign off on this cheap p.
t.barnumism, it really must be spent, for good.
thestringpuller: So no, I don'
t buy storage often. I usually try to buy enough for 5 years at a time.
trinque: the SSD has *massively* sped up the process, which doesn'
t surprise me
phf: polarbeard: you can'
t press polarbeard_better_log_messages directly on top of asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected period. so the ~transition~ makes no sense
polarbeard: phf: I don'
t follow, db.cpp is what generates that relationship
mod6: ascii_butugychag: one fix every now and then isn'
t horrible or anything, id just hate to see the situation (like at usg-like job) where people create a turd, create a PR, and then have to keep chainging the PR until "ready"
phf: there's a bug of some sort, pretty sure your polarbeard_better_log_messages shouldn'
t press from asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected, i'll look into it tonight
mircea_popescu: "all 1 comments - sorted by: best there doesn'
t seem to be anything here" << lol reddit.
BingoBoingo: <punkman> BingoBoingo: dunno, wasn'
t that interesting in retrospect << As a general rule cases become far less interesting when pleas happen
adlai: i didn'
t ask what the implications are, or why, i'm asking what exactly your proposal is, implementation-wise
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag i don'
t. nobody has learned anything else since 30 years ago.
mircea_popescu: adolescentine fits re "but bucket of water could cause flood and rubbing things together starts fires so i shouldn'
t have to sweep" notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu: the observation that "you can'
t have any change until you clean up your room" shouldn'
t really be all that controversial.
punkman: BingoBoingo: dunno, wasn'
t that interesting in retrospect
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag anyway, if the nice folks of whatever wish to change bitcoin more in the sense of, full block hash not headers, i wouldn'
t automatically reject it. i described a point which must be included, but i also said its details are open to discussion.
BingoBoingo: punkman: Why haven'
t you submitted a writeup on the Liberty Reserve thing yet?
ascii_butugychag: what i don'
t get is what desirable thing the workfunction change accomplishes
trinque: perhaps it is a matter of the key generated being invalid, though I would've expected the bits I'm using for pubkey/address generation to barf at that, and didn'
t punkman: you just put the nonce in coinbase, isn'
t it equivalent to mutating the actual nonce?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag different incentives. as it is now, changing the size doesn'
t automatically brick all miners.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i still don'
t grasp the 'technological reasons' from footnote v
mircea_popescu: understand : you can'
t prevent people from working nor should you try.
polarbeard: to be honest, I see this thing going forward if I don'
t have to generate a new patch again
mircea_popescu: this has on one side exposed a lot of the underlying grime, and on the other side is bugging your centralist mind because you don'
t want to read thousands of lines of patchwork.
mircea_popescu: polarbeard i dunno that it was expected to either. prolly isn'
t, really. just, bitcoin code is too layered, random and messy.
polarbeard: mircea_popescu: I didn'
t know it was expected to solve it, but ok, I see this patch is consuming too much time from everybody...
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag i didn'
t object to it in principle, but it's also not covered by the new logging model.
mircea_popescu: polarbeard mno, this is no good, it doesn;
t solve the naked return problem. for instance (all from bitcoinrpc.cpp) : return error; at line 44 ; return "bitcoin server stopping"; line 162 sorta thing.
BingoBoingo: Tasoshi: My browser doesn'
t play yourtube videos
mircea_popescu: Tasoshi looky, im sure you have nice intentions et all, but intentions don'
t matter. put some actual sweat into it. answer the original question, answer it well rather than flailing around.
Tasoshi: I mean, it is true isn'
t it mircea_popescu that you agreed with onchain scaling in 2013? But anyway looks like you guys are busy so I'll leave you to it.
mircea_popescu: won'
t be too easy tho, asic needs EVEN MORE ram that way.
mircea_popescu: + printf(SERR SBLK "can'
t create database file %s\n", strFileRes.c_str());
polarbeard: mircea_popescu: mmm for me the ranges in that site don'
t work, which line is it?
mircea_popescu: ok polarbeard if you don'
t mind we'll use his version it's about 500 times better than github
mircea_popescu: polarbeard don'
t put commas immediately after urls it fucks things up

I opened it on my crappy ebook tablet, flipped through some pages. The moment I thought "this shit's unreadable isn'
t it", the tablet died, never to come back.
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 05:19:55; pete_dushenski: myea, i don'
t think we go through $1/day of diapers
mircea_popescu: whether it'll be used or not is unclear, so i wouldn'
t TELL you to do it, but if you want to do it by all means.
mircea_popescu: polarbeard it won'
t hurt anything writing a backport patch for it if you feel like it.

☟︎ mod6: there is supposed to be a line break up here ^ but didn'
t translate through the copy
