mircea_popescu: currently, you can not register a gns item. at some point X, you will become able to. thenceforth, you will be able to. that's the whole timeline.
asciilifeform: how is the 'able to' mechanically implemented ? because it is, or at least appears to be, promisetronic
mircea_popescu: you send "register name x type y key z" to server. if it doesn't have x, it registers it. if it has x, it registers y provided z is the key registered for x.
asciilifeform: 'register name x type y' is signed by z ?
mircea_popescu: yes.
asciilifeform: so far good; now say i want to ask 'what is y for this here x'
mircea_popescu: you send a dns request, like they work now exactly.
asciilifeform: what comes back ?
mircea_popescu: same thing as from a dig
asciilifeform: if it's ~exactly~ as now, then i get whatever verizon wants to substitute.
mircea_popescu: so ask over a better protocol then,
asciilifeform: or at&t, or whoever the fuck is upstream, zimbabwe telecom.
mircea_popescu: dns as is is dns as is.
asciilifeform: this is more or less an exact description of 'ask gossiptron to look up rating' except for the odd part where mircea_popescu wants it to be central or at least globally synchronized
asciilifeform: why not instead 'i ask my wot what is y for this x, if anyone disagrees, there are problems'
mircea_popescu: (ftr, re "does z sign", there's a beautiful tie-in for deedbot in here, because there's no reason i couldn't register straight from !!, and especially so if i have to pay something)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a matter of fact, not a matter of opinion. it's of the nature of ask deedbot, not of the nature of "what does the lordship think"
asciilifeform: if this were so airtight, blockchain would not be necessary in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: central server(s).
asciilifeform: i.e. usg.dns but with new arse(s) in throne ?
asciilifeform: by this logic, why not also make tmsr ntp ?
asciilifeform: ... or even throw out bitcoin and replace with 'tmsr central bank', on server in mircea_popescu's martian dome.
asciilifeform: possibly i am thick but i see same exact problem with all 3.
mircea_popescu: i don't know what "this logic" is. you are currently using dns, yes ?
mircea_popescu: "by this logic, why not also use windows".
mircea_popescu: wtf.
mircea_popescu: "People think that Web browsers are elegant computation platforms, and Web pages are light, fluffy things that you can edit in Notepad as you trade ironic comments with your friends in the coffee shop. Nothing could be further from the truth." << actually... that's exactly how it goes for me. and i mean that literally - i write straight html while hurr durring with teh girlz.
asciilifeform: cannot speak for others, but i would like to use ~less~ dns and other centralized simon-says, not ~more~.
mircea_popescu: what you'd like doesn't enter into this. you'll use the dictionary whether you like to or not.
asciilifeform: copy the structure of the empire -- become the empire.
mircea_popescu: yes, except dictionaries aren't the structure of the empire. they're the structure of thought.
asciilifeform: they are also reasonably static.
mircea_popescu: this is a debatable point. they are however fixed in context ; much like symbol tables for a running program say.
asciilifeform: (not speaking of marvels like 'the big soviet encyclopaedia', which famously in '30s had 'updates' mailed in to subscribers, complete with razor blade to cut out undesirables)
asciilifeform in whole life has only ever owned one encyclopaedia, 'britannica 1958', fished out of a skip as a boy, and incidentally it was the longest edition they made -- after that, only cuts. and the thing is surprisingly useful.
asciilifeform: back upstack: i'm not convinced that 'the structure of thought' and 'updated regularly by remote hands' go together.
mircea_popescu: you don't own a ru dictionary ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not any moar sadly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your objection would be that if i one day decide to move trilema from ip x to ip y i thereby am confusing your thought process unduly ?
mircea_popescu: trilema fucking exists as my act of will, wherever i say it is that's where it is. of course they go together.
asciilifeform: though i ~have~ considered purchasing 'big soviet e.' in dead tree...
asciilifeform: trilema yes.
asciilifeform: but 'central servers' implies that i might also rely on mircea_popescu to say where, e.g., ben_vulpes's site, lives
asciilifeform: system where i gotta ask mircea_popescu where lives trilema, but if looking for www of ben_vulpes, must ask ben_vulpes -- i have 0 quarrel with.

asciilifeform: at least as late as the 2nd of this month, was alive.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re-reading this dns thing, i'm not even sure what the objections are. i'm getting a morass of "why shouldn't all the things be made out of lead since lead works well for pencils" + vague extremisms trying to confuse a clear boundry (x didn't exist ; x exists) with random other things.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for asciilifeform's enlightenment, describe plox why coin should not be made of the same 'lead' (simple scheme -- there are N coins at 'sunrise', and, e.g., mircea_popescu can move coin no. 1,555 to ben_vulpes by signing 'coin 1,555 now belongs to [key of ben_vulpes] at time T' etc
asciilifeform: )
mircea_popescu: this is ~how it works.
asciilifeform: well not quite, there are the other annoying details of blockchain and mining.
mircea_popescu: sure.
mircea_popescu: why money should be p2p and dictionaries printed should be self-obvious, however.
asciilifeform: dictionaries don't remote-update.
asciilifeform: at least mine didn't.
mircea_popescu: when you bought the next installment of whatever comic you read as a boy,
mircea_popescu: your dictionary remote-updated.
asciilifeform: now if i had read comic as a boy, i might grasp this.
mircea_popescu: fine. when the ukrainians decided to be a nation, your dictionary also remote-updated.
mircea_popescu: you decided to stay on the old branch, which is fine, but also unrelated.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is genius salesman, does he know
asciilifeform: 'buy this vacuum, hose is the same one you were beaten to near death with in the police precinct last year'
mircea_popescu: ironically, i am so intolerant i actually cross over into salesmanship.
mircea_popescu: this is one of those chtulhu things
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just because police sometimes beats people up with vacuum hose does not mean vacuums hoses should be banned. we're not french fucking bulldogs, what sort of dogreasoning is this.
asciilifeform: lel who said 'banned'.
mircea_popescu: well so then ?
asciilifeform: just that it is not the most brilliant neutral selling point for asciilifeform in particular, that's all.
mircea_popescu: that i can see.
asciilifeform: i do not necessarily go with 'EVERYTHING must be made of blockchaintronium!111' thing. (if you recall this was actually subj of 1st conversation between mircea_popescu & asciilifeform , on the former's www, back in the day...) but i also dun see why to create a 'throne' if there is a simple means of not creating a throne and solving the problem.
mircea_popescu: but there isn't ; and what's worse, there necessarily can not be.
asciilifeform: was, e.g., 'namecoin', fatally broken in some algorithmic way ?
asciilifeform: (vs simple neglect)
mircea_popescu: yes.
asciilifeform: remind me, how
mircea_popescu: which is why we never adopted it.
asciilifeform: (iirc it was hammered to death altcoin-style..?)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think for a second : the reason delegation exists is because a) people are idiots and b) the lists get long. in that order.
mircea_popescu: now imagine if instead of splitting it up via delegation, you simply made the problem exponentially worse by introducing a gossip layer in there.
mircea_popescu: which is ~what namecheap was.
asciilifeform: namecheap?!
mircea_popescu: im sory namecoin
asciilifeform: ah
asciilifeform: why not, say, standard bitcoin + 'telegraph'
mircea_popescu: last thing you fucking need is for every dns root server to have to talk to EVERY ONE for (total domain data) ^ 1/2's worth
asciilifeform: nah, don't need to 'talk to each one' specially, just look in your blocksxxx.dat for all sends to 1FuCkGoAtS..... and decode the payload.
mircea_popescu: and not btc + "telegraph" for the same reason - horribru data exchange profile.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, because updates.
asciilifeform: updates happen as the blox come in, neh?
mircea_popescu: finding out where trilema.com should point just became o(blocks)
asciilifeform: inner transport layer can be same as what mircea_popescu described earlier, 'x y z'
mircea_popescu: then if it is, whole thing should just be central server.
asciilifeform: it isn't O(blocks), it's O(blocks i haven't seen yet)
asciilifeform: you maintain local cache.
mircea_popescu: client doesn't hold the whole fucking dns db holy shit.
asciilifeform: eh even usg's db is what, 300M ?
mircea_popescu: "fuck you mp, i hate what i deem thrones so much, you now can't do name resolution on anything without a tb hdd!"
asciilifeform: btw here's an exercise, tally up the mass of all of the code on your linux box that is needed to get it to where it can query dns as we knew it
mircea_popescu: and no, with trims it's well into the tb range.
asciilifeform: also i have nfi re mircea_popescu but my /etc/hosts is not anywhere near 300kB much less mB.
mircea_popescu: there's iirc ~300 mn DOMAIN NAMES.
mircea_popescu: averaging w/e, half a dozen records each
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a spurious objection, you'd still have to hold the whole blockchain to avoid o(blocks) in your insane anti-model.
asciilifeform: how many belong to anything you might ever wish to speak to.
mircea_popescu: you can't know in advance.
mircea_popescu: wtf, "here's the two pages of the dictionary we estimate you may ever need"
asciilifeform: also who the hell isn't a) already holding whole blockchain or b) connected to reliable and trusted box that IS
mircea_popescu: because fuck you, that's why.

mircea_popescu: that said, pretty great article.
Framedragger: already sent to some 'trump is evil' friends
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty impressed at how well it goes with http://trilema.com/2016/and-they-wont-fucking-yield/
mircea_popescu: almost as if we shared talking points on a napkin. which we haven't, but there it is. the iyi/jews in question'd be excused if they thought "massive right wing conspiracy", because hey.
mircea_popescu: HOW ELSE could you POSSIBLY get such coherence!!1
mircea_popescu: and since taleb's twitter is full of "simpson's paradox", let's add it to the record. it is universally the case that low birth weight is a predictor of infant mortality. this has been observed across centuries and across cultures/geographies. even if the exact value that contitutes "low birth weight" varies, the effects of the classification are ubiquitous.
mircea_popescu: once people become interested in smoking, it was observed that smoking mothers' babies of normal weight fare no better or worse than the general population ; whereas smoking mothers' babies of low weigh fare ~significantly~ better than the general population (of low birth weight babies).
mircea_popescu: on the basis of this much statistics, one could conclude (wrongly) that smoking in the mother is protective for the neonate.
mircea_popescu: however, ignoring the distinction, one can also make the observation that children born to smoking mothers fare significantly worse than the general population.
mircea_popescu: the reason for this apparent paradox ("how can kids do ok in A and better in B yet still do worse in A+B ?!) is that smoking CAUSES low birth weight ; but there are also other causes of low birth weight which also have a much more severe impact on life/survival expectancy than smoking.
mircea_popescu: because low weight babies have much poorer prospects than normal babies, and because smoking mothers cause a significant migration of their babies from normal to low weight, they "drown out" the other causes, getting apparent "better" prognosis (hey, the kid's not afflicted by trisomy with a 90% death before puberty prognosis ; but merely by smoking mom, with a 1% death before puberty prognosis)
mircea_popescu: and as taleb correctly points out, the jews' misunderstanding of this fundamental point is what drives a lot of their inept policy. such as you know, "how to make ghetos better ? BANKRUPT MIDDLE CLASS WHITE PEOPLE!!! then they'll move in the gheto and smoking mothers are protective for the baby!" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: also as taleb correctly points out, this example is just a very good example, but not the whole story. what it exemplifies is the ineptitude of a class of people, whom we call jews, and whom we wish to see in camps. these people understand some - enough to be harmful - but not enough, so as to be useful. they are worse than stupid, because of this familiarity with first order but incapacity for higher order reasoning. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i think parsimonious hypothesis here is they stupid
asciilifeform: flea ain't esp. clever either. but he knows how to flea.
mircea_popescu: note that it's not "why does flea drink blood", it's "why does mosquito female eschew nectar diet which WOULD allow it to deliver eggs that are viable ; and instead risk its life trying to suck blood out of people, which results in 100% mortality in plenty of cases".
mircea_popescu: and the conclusion "because it's fucking dumb" is perfectly reasonable.
mircea_popescu: that its mechanisms "think" bloodsucking pays has no bearings whatsoever on the reality of the matter. as it happens - it doesn't pay.
asciilifeform: spam also dun pay
mircea_popescu: and mosquitoes are very good exemplars for jews in this discussion - it has been my long held view they must be exterminated, as a species, permanently, as a minimal requirement of calling the human species civilised. and they ARE being exterminated. we will die in a world with no mosquitoes.
