decimation: when your business model is selling baubles
to idiots, it's probably not wise
to point out
the idiocy of bauble-buying
DreadKnight: cazalla,
takes a few years
to have a proper list of players,
that's if you really care about it, remove noobs constantly
decimation: are you comparing him
to
this situation?

cazalla: DreadKnight, so message
the good players you pug with and put something
together
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu>
the
thing is...
the country can't pay anyway, so
there's not much pork
to be had out of "we need better new planes" >> Not
to mention
the US is
the
the business now of buying worse planes
DreadKnight: cazalla, yeah, but
to get high mmr, you have
to play with non retards, very wise hand picked people,
takes
time; and you need
to either sync in
time
tables or
to have a lot of such people at your disposal, it's a chore
to have a proper
team
mircea_popescu: the
thing is...
the country can't pay anyway, so
there's not much pork
to be had out of "we need better new planes"
decimation: well, in any case russia isn't going
to stand for foriegn aircraft patroling its border, and
the world knows it will "arm its proxies" or whatever
to make it happen
mircea_popescu: if it were 1980s
the republicans would have been all in favour, because nothing's better for public contracts
than a humiliating, public defeat.
mircea_popescu: a no fly zone would allow
the russian airforce
to showcase it's unmatched superiority by making short work of everything else.
decimation: right, because every last voter realizes exactly
the kind of risk
that would entail
BingoBoingo: But in spite of
the criticisms
the Su-25 ground attack plane shooting it down is probably more feasible
than it gets credit for.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it seems improbable russia shot down
the
thing. << I'm waiting for
the investigation
to reveal a la
TWA 800
that
the plane was doomed when it
took off
decimation: I
think it is unlikely
that it was explictly ordered, but I read another news story
that
the 'rebels' shot down some more ukranian fighter jets
cazalla: DreadKnight, most of your complaints regarding mobas are
tied
to low
tier, bronze league superstars, you don't see it in higher brackets which is why it's an esport and a good one at
that
decimation: which euro nation wants
to be
the first one
to
try
to start a "no-fly" zone ala iraq?
decimation: every human on earth now knows
that russia is ready and willing
to shoot anything down in
that area
decimation: another
theory of mh17 occured
to me
the other day: while it seems
to be detrimental
to
the rebel's cause, in
the bigger calcuation it might actually help
them quite a bit
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight
there's a reason pros use particular
tools rather
than any other
tools.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
traffic should resemble people exchanging gpg messages maybe ?
BingoBoingo: Well,
the downside of skype is it forces you
to interact with it
through
the interface it chooses, among other flaws. IRC
though... You can pick a client and if it ends up being shit simply switch
DreadKnight: but
thanks
to
the BBA group, I log into skype once a month
tops, very annoying
DreadKnight: well, skype is just designed with something else in mind,
that's for sure :D
BingoBoingo: DreadKnight: Amazing how often older
technologies work better
than "advances"
that would pretent
to replace
them isn't it
DreadKnight: this IRC channel works so much better
than Bitcoin Business Alliance's skype group
mircea_popescu: in principle one shouldn't be able
to spot a b2.0 node on
the network.
mircea_popescu: also, need much better hidding of
the
traffix it generates.
mircea_popescu: anyway
the hash daisychanin satoshi used was moar like a joke
than srs.
mircea_popescu: sort-of where i was seeing
the "b-a public registrar" project
that nobody wants
to do going, in step 2.
mircea_popescu: suppose
that anyone can generate
txn using gpg, much like mpex works.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's a bad idea. baking in gpg however would be splendid.
mircea_popescu: yes indeed,
there's at least
two items for
the bitcoin v2.0 :
the wol pow detailed above and
the p-airthm balance
DreadKnight: asciilifeform, year zero will cut off confirmation for new
transactions, but I would want for
the downloaded stuff
to not be 10gb;
there are wallets
that skip
that stuff nowadays,
though not recommended in certain cases
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't
think i actualy understand what i want re chaining
mircea_popescu: one of
the most important vulnerabilities extant in bitcoin as is.

mircea_popescu: ie, either you make waseful asics or else you keep changing
them every 200k blocks
mircea_popescu: obviously anything
that can be made can be made in silicon
mircea_popescu: this still needs better chaining
than what bitcoin's doing.
mircea_popescu: i actually kinda want
this built, if
there's any hardcore c programmer looking for a major project.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dont wanna weasel out of inflating block size i dont
think
mircea_popescu: except you don't have reward, you just increase 4fold
the size of
the field.
mircea_popescu: suppose you double
this every 200k blocks, much like how bitcoin halves reward.
mircea_popescu: now, imbit = 128kb, which should be enough for
the blocks originally.
mircea_popescu: suppose pow is, "find a 1mbit value which xored with your block results in a wol-like
table which playing for 32 generations results in a
table identical
to
the
table of
the block as is"
mircea_popescu: but anyway, forget
the bitter me. let's refine your automata idea a little.
mircea_popescu: well
they don't do it.
they do something
that's "just as good".
mircea_popescu: the shit can never get old. "here's what i want, here's what's
to be done, here's me not doing it". how would
this ever get old.
mircea_popescu: now... what part of "the people are more stupid
than can be put into words" needs putting into words ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's laugh
together. on one hand it's you saying
that, one minute under some derp going in
the bitbet comments section
to say
that since
ThickAsThieves posted something here about a
topic of interest, and magicaltux also hung out on irc, it follows
that bitbet is bad.
BingoBoingo: Hard
to decentralize mining when few people want
to work
the
turd mines
mircea_popescu: "Vertcoin has always been and will continue
to be
the leader in decentralization of cryptocurrency."

DreadKnight: moba is
too much about lane pushing and farming
mircea_popescu: if
the final state of
the game flows deterministically from
the state at any point,
there's nothing for a human
to do.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight no. consider
the supermodel of all player strategy games, btc.waroflife.com/
DreadKnight: asciilifeform, I
think he was afraid of players doing
the same
things over and over again, or picking only
the best units
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i don't like
the "learn
this succession of small movements" part.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but
the explanation is i nthe log, which part didn;'t make sense ?
DreadKnight: a lot of people don't really like Heroes of Newerth's artwork,
too detailed, yet your character is small
mircea_popescu: if i wanted
to spend my
time doing
that sort of shit i
