decimation: yeah my main interest is
that he catalogs
the dependencies
mod6: decimation: i could be wrong here, but a quick look here seems like
this dude is wrapping up bitcoin 0.9.3
mircea_popescu: mod6 right, and mpif going
through what, five profit centers ? sad.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, qntra can prolly
take some more science-minded writing. if you come up with anything
talk
to cazalla
mod6: war of life
too, pretty cool new game
Bugpowder: now people can recognize you if parked somewhere… which could be a negative
thing...
Bugpowder: Getting
the plate was an anti-climax
Bugpowder: I can’t reorder
the plate, cause
the name is already
taken
Bugpowder: but you need
to explicitly center it with half-space characters
Bugpowder: assumed
they would center
the plate
Bugpowder: I was a bit faded when I ordered it and didn’t read
the instructinos
Bugpowder: Give me a black box, random forest bagging
tree algorithm over
that shit any day
mircea_popescu: (then again, generally i
think bayesian stuff is masturbation for
the uneducated intelligent.)
Bugpowder: Also, hard
to exploit with a large enough stack
to make it worthwhile.
mircea_popescu: their publishing signals
that
they hold
the sam ebelief.
mircea_popescu suspects it's more valuable as a retrospective fitting
than anything else
Bugpowder: Well… I
think
they would be more profit focused
then
Bugpowder: Of course, why
they would publish
this instead of exploit it is an exercise for
the reader. Probably
they should’ve gone
to Stanford.
Bugpowder: what I found interseting is
that
the primary pattern it found (Fig 4) was
the exact pattern for my winning short
term
trades
Bugpowder: Profitable (previously) strategy for bitcoin
trading
Bugpowder: Devavrat Shah Kang Zhang Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems Department of EECS Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
Bugpowder: Been a while, not sure how
to do it
mircea_popescu snubs nose at song. o looky, chicky got electric guitar, not catching her fingers in
the chords anymore even!
mircea_popescu: to write run, bitch run review or not
to write run, bitch, run review...
RagnarDanneskjol: yea
they're cool chicks - just discovered
them recently. pretty decent garbage rock
PinkPosixPXE: These girls are very enthusiastic about making
their own money, and being independently wealthy
mircea_popescu: nobody's encouraging it. as long as it's
there, people gotta keep
tempest going.
mircea_popescu: the advantage of
this arrangement is
that it can be made easily and inconspicuously.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually
the qr code is a legitimate optoseparator
cazalla: i would not even lend
them niggas a pencil
assbot: BitLendingClub Use Angel.co

mod6: and if
there is anything
that's deemed "required", we'll be putting
those
things in. getting us
to
the baseline.
mod6: once
there,
then start
to schedule in
the amputations.
mod6: get us
to a point where we can feel good about just what we're starting with.
mod6: my philosophy on
this project is: first, do no harm.
mod6: yeah, i
think you're right
that any place
that actually gives a shit about
the bitcoind
they run, probably made
their own changes immediately.
mircea_popescu: which is by now becoming a major problem in waiting, because under
the hollow pretense of
the power rangers,
the codebase is actually fractured
to all shit.
mircea_popescu has serious
trouble
thinking people have actually used
the stock braindamage for more
than a few month before branching it off
mod6: then once we have our baseline... something
that can be used, and we can feel pretty good about with not years worth of
testing,
then we start
to implement
these major changes.
then we see
the UI go away from core,
the rpc commands, etc.
mircea_popescu: oh he has a point. step 0 : merge
the stuff
that's acxtually useful in.
mod6: we add patches from stuff up
to 6.3
mircea_popescu: i'm
the first
to say
that
the only practicable way
to run
this is as a
two machine, serial connected
thing, so
that's not changing.
mod6: see, im of
the opinion
that we don't cut out anything. first we add.
mod6: you have some great ideas about changes
that need
to be made. and I really do
think we'll get
to doing
them. bitcoin will be better for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how about
this for a principle : step 1,
take all
the stuff
that can be
taken out without
therefore forcing different stuff being put in ; step 2
take out
the stuff
that needs replacement, sorted by
the complexity of
the needed replacement, ascending.
mod6: who knows what effects can be seen.... and sure, i could spend 3 months with gdb just
trying
to chase stuff down.
this is going
to be a methodical process of eradication.
mod6: and it's a great example. but it makes me nervous. cutting out stuff like
that in something as poorly written as
this is just ... frightning.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well
the discussion is if
the json-rpc part is in
the obvious crud or in
the eventual crud group
mircea_popescu: they're much less apt
than
they pretend
to be. but
that aside : ineptitude of
the enemy is no excuse
to derp.
mod6: understood. i worry about
these jokers.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's not happening, at all. but
that notwithstanding, you do have a solid point, as a general
thing. and 8 weeks is certainly narrower a frame
than anything usgavin&co can do.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> prolly a better idea
to keep
things sane and incrementally improve ? <<
this is
the way it must be done. even
though slash and burn feels so damn good.
mod6: that's plausibly only 8 weeks out. and we'd better have something
to run by
then. i don't wanna be chasing crazy changes down when we could have just gotten something simple running first.
mircea_popescu: prolly a better idea
to keep
things sane and incrementally improve ?
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, and somewhat from experience : while
the serial
thing is a solid design, i suspect it's also a bridge
too far
mod6: eh, yeah,
these
things are all great ideas. and necessary. but i
think
the best course of action is
to get something up and working as a baseline with
the most minimal changes possible so we have something
to run when derpistan puts in
the hardfork
mod6: and noone wants
that
