mircea_popescu: he proceeds
to
try and prove
to
the world
that no, i am wrong. indeed he is in hs.
mircea_popescu: this is what we're reduced
to : i
tell him on
twitter
to get over himself, he's no longer in highschool
Vexual: yeah
tat, i put stem cells into germans with no effect
Vexual: its also not melbourne
time here herbi
Vexual: theres noone here its proaby still
there
mircea_popescu: and i
think exactly
the same of friedcat and co,
too. when i say it's a sad story
this is what i mean.
herbijudlestoids: so
that people can query whichever shits
they want in web services?
mircea_popescu: because
then if
there are many idiots in
the same boat it wouldn't have been a waste.
mircea_popescu: spend all
their
time making retarded websites encouraging little boys
to waste
their life similarly
mircea_popescu: meanwhile all
the fuckwitted uk people who spend
their
time pretending
to be women and pretending
to be famous and important and into
tech
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck, are we stupid or something ? been using
this
thing for years, i promote it as
the solution, something;'s missing ?
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: he was saying just before you came in
that he wanted a distributedier WoT
Vexual: i really wanted
to eat
that
herbijudlestoids: sounds like all it needs is an extra piece of functionality, so each WoT node can
talk
to other WoT nodes
☟︎ Vexual: welsome
to earth herbi
ThickAsThieves: so what youre saying is,
the best way
to model reputation systems, is like how
they work IRL?!
mircea_popescu: which incidentally shows you a different path into why
the periphery can not be
the standardisation driver
mircea_popescu: this is how financial networks work : when standardisation goes down
the periphery eats it.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: ok so
the existing server eats shit somehow, and you have your backup, someone wants
to sell you 50 BTC and
they screw you somehow, you want
to let others know by giving
that person a negative rating but you cant
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids nono, look in
the wiki
there's a link
to backups
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: if each WoT is just a node in
the graph it can be exactly so
mircea_popescu: Vexual i have no idea.
the disadvantage of making
tools for a reason rather
than
towards a purpose is
that it's really up
to
the users
to figure out how
to wring all
the utility out of
them.
ThickAsThieves: maybe each wot chain comes with it's own level of
trust
too
mircea_popescu: it uses
the mpex "make your own backups if you're worried" model
herbijudlestoids: ok well in
that case its horizontally compatible and doesnt depend on any adoption, in fact would be quite useful in case for example catastrophe strikes
the existing WoT server it might be stored on someone elses computer
mircea_popescu: most of
the possibility of
the world is locked away from most people most of
the
time.
mircea_popescu: the declaration of love
that sunk cleopatra is not something every roman citizen could have made any
time
they felt like it.
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: i was
thinking of something like
that, maybe you can model existing WoTs as nodes in
the graph
ThickAsThieves: what if you let people port
trust, and
they get a note on
their account
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids your fundamental presumption is
that everyone is at all
times in
the position
to make anything.
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: well if
the inertia of
the existing system means nobody uses it,
then it fails at its fundamental goal of being a distributed WoT
that derives its value from having lots of credible ratings
mircea_popescu: "you guise
think drugs are cool rite ? cause
there's
these bath salts here..."
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves because people
today grow up in
this echo chamber
ThickAsThieves: well i was gonna say, why is driving adoption so integral
to
the goal
Vexual: never
too retarded, might have
to reword
the question
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids no, it's not intelligence you lack, it's
the experience
that'd inform
that intelligence.
mircea_popescu: but compare and contrast (by which i mean meditate upon)
the alt coin with max keiser's alt coin and you'll perhaps you'll come
to something.
Vexual: mp is very adverse
to starting with 0
mircea_popescu: the very proposition belies fundamental ignorance of
the entire
thing, which is why i object.
mircea_popescu: it's just
that you're new here and haven't gone
through
the
training process
mircea_popescu: not only it never happens, it never should happen and by god im here
to ensure it never does.
mircea_popescu: this bs where 20something dork "comes up" with some sort of "revolutionary"
thing and everyone cares is not unlike manga.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: just in
the hypothetical
that a somebody made something good
mircea_popescu: in order
to become somebody you become somebody,
the steps are laid out
ozbot: Alby Mangels Adventure Bound
THE WHOLE SERIES - YouTube
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids i will continue
to use otc, because i do not use solutions of nobodies.
herbijudlestoids: for example, if everyone in -otc continues
to use
the centralised version, because
they dont want
to lose
their existing rep,
then what
Vexual: 1 am 12 cnad what is
this?
mircea_popescu: also, for
the people following s.mg progress : working
towards finally moving most of
the
thing into eclipse
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: seems like "invictus" is pushing keyhotee pretty hard for
this, blockchain based
mircea_popescu: (reason i hilited him is cause eventualy once he gets
through
the logs he can
tell me lol)
