2 days later, became shit, or just expensive.

2-3 weeks looking at the tcp stack implementation in linus' kernel. it is truly a fungus, macguyvered with duct tape and rubber bands, such that changing one line almost anywhere breaks shit all over the place.

☝︎☟︎☟︎ mp_en_viaje: so, real chain weighs 1bn and block #
2 weighs 1, i make fake chain with block alt-#
2 weigh
2 and total chain weigh 10mn, in 1mn blocks.
mp_en_viaje: i could (in principle) produce an alternate block #
2, very cheaply, but of higher diff than the true block #
2. this then ~should~ be accepted by syncing node.
mp_en_viaje: consider the following line : 1. the only meaningful measure of tx mutability is the hashpower that went into mining its block ;
2. consequently, the mutability of tx 100k blocks ago is ~= the mutability of tx 600k blocks ago.
deedbot: L1: 0, L2: -6 by
2 connections.
mp_en_viaje: situation
2, cache (called "requester") : client will abstain from asking for some item for a certain time after having asked.
mp_en_viaje:
2. case careful -- request is sent (p=1), if received correctly (p=
2) then all is well, else new request sent (p=
2.5) and if now received correctly all is well but if not yet new request sent (p=3.5) and if not well again you're looking at... well, depends how noisy/lossy the channel is, but it seems to me the careless case saves a good chunk of bw, roughly speaking the square of the noise rate.

☝︎☟︎ mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, i'm saying that the guy who is within the top 1% mathematicians could also have been within the top 0.5-
2% historians, dancers or public women, and that what exact words you use don't matter, because much before any substantial skill or craft there's the 5yo's set of choices.
mp_en_viaje: 1. there is no such thing as intelligence ;
2. the humanities-divinities divide, however redefined (whether you call divinities "natural sciences" or "peri-physeios" or "stem" or whatever else) do not translate a difference in degree of brain function, but merely different patterns of behaviour ;
a111: Logged on 2019-05-22 14:05 stjohn_piano_2: 3) there may be an approach to signed comments that does not involve the primary key: examples: a) sign with a subordinate key b) validate your current IP for a time period (e.g. a month / year) by decrypting an OTP, like deedbot.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-22 14:15 asciilifeform: stjohn_piano_2: we even have folx who dun have comment eater on their www at all. and iirc danielpbarron has only hand-cranked 'x wrote in re...' comments. but if you have automated comment box, imho the real win is to occasionally hear from intelligent heathens.

a111: Logged on 2019-03-30 15:49 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in olds, asciilifeform's 'xor
2 small numbers'+'say fg baud' spam filter seems to be 100% effective (a 1st?!) -- 0 spams in trap since installed ( legit comments , not many , but work -- tho there were never many )
stjohn_piano_2:
2) this first-pass at a comments system makes it impossible for people without an identity to speak. established identities can speak, although it is hard, yes.
diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: but why such high-bar for what is meant as a public-facing i.e. by definition wider-public-interaction thing anyway?
a111: Logged on 2019-05-22 12:51 diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: re ^ , an OTP challenge is a way to check one's identity; hence, deedbot will not send an OTP in response to !!register but WILL send an OTP in response to ~any other command (technically to any command that is a request of *someone* i.e. that requires an identity)

a111: Logged on 2019-05-17 14:42 diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: are you actually tied to the UK? and anyway, what sort of job/where are you looking for one?
mp_en_viaje: let's not get over ourselves here. happy meal is still $
2 in budapest, hu as in budapest, txt.
mp_en_viaje: i pointed out to you that this is not a valid response, you ~moved on to attacking me~. guess what, wehther i'm rich or poor, happy or unhappy, tall or short, it is STILL not valid to go into a discussion of 1+
2 when i point out to you you did something stupid.
mp_en_viaje: i pointed out to you that this is not something thinking man does, you went to argue that 1+1=
2.
whaack: I wasn't implying that I would test drive Uruguay for a year. I would try it for 1-
2 months first of course.
whaack: But I’m not quite sure what I should do with my life. I am considering one of the following: staying in NYC and getting a “linkedin” job for 1-
2 years, creating a base in some cheap rural surf part of CR, or moving to a Spanish speaking city.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-17 13:06 stjohn_piano_2: this led to: multi-author, every article is signed (optionally by the author as well), articles are in a linear order (hence "103"), unalterability means that additional authors can trust that the owner can't sabotage their work / code.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-17 13:05 stjohn_piano_2: perhaps it's worth mentioning that, at every point when building edgecase, i asked myself "what should a reputable publishing system in the age of cryptography look like?".

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2019-05-17 12:04 stjohn_piano_2: turns out that for me fast real-time chat is still rather unaffordable at present. going forward, my replies will have significant latency.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:27 stjohn_piano_2: you wrote an article once about parsimony vs efficiency, i think.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:11 stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: gpg --list-packets shows that the key ID is C8EFFF13 in the OTP file. The key ID of my public key is 5991 52AC. Is this expected? (the fingerprint shown by deedbot in the earlier line is correct, though).
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 20:10 stjohn_piano_2: by mistake, i was attempting to decrypt the OTP sent to asciilifeform
mp_en_viaje: pretty much all of the "web
2.0" usg."tech" stuff peaked cca lehman brothers days.

diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: you need to ask; and it's a more general rule really
stjohn_piano_2: in my notes, i had this sequence: 1) join forum,
2) deedbot will present OTP, 3) decrypt OTP, 4) use !!v OTP.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 19:12 stjohn_piano_2: people reeeeally try though. "machine learning" (rather than "statistical sampler with paremeter adjustment").
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 19:06 stjohn_piano_2: although, i am surprised. i had thought "driver" was one category of subordinate where you could trust that the subordinate would do the work carefully, for his own sake.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 18:44 stjohn_piano_2: well, in my initial half-understanding of bitcoin, was nervous about moving bitcoin into offline address without knowing (for certain) that i could retrieve it.
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, aite. i guess you're fated to thicken the rows of techs then.
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, so what did you go to school for ?
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, so mechanical engineer for factory and then software engineer for sound recording thing ?
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, ok, but what did you do for them ? accounting ?
