mircea_popescu phillipsjk apparently you can't actually self-voice. [00:49]
phillipsjk Can I auth with the bot without voicing? [00:50]
mircea_popescu nope. [00:50]
gabriel_laddel mircea_popescu: the problem with templates is that generating syntatically correct code is fucking impossible. [00:50]
mircea_popescu in any case : i don't like aes for purely political reasons. it became an apparent schelling point out of absolutely nowhere for no discernible reason. these situations always stink. [00:50]
mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel i think the principle of machine-fixed code is broken, but hey. maybe you're in a narrow enough case you can pull it off. [00:51]
mircea_popescu if you can actually write programs to fix programs - why haven't you yet and why are we still running broken code everywhere. [00:51]
gabriel_laddel mircea_popescu: because I'm lazy? [00:52]
gabriel_laddel I need interns [00:52]
mircea_popescu that process works better the other way. ("i need to intern for this guy" vs "i need people to intern for me") [00:52]
gabriel_laddel I want to move *up* the ladder of abstraction. Purely mechanical lisping doesn't interest me. [00:53]
phillipsjk Anyway, I screwed up with my AES comment: naivly encrypting game commands with a fixed key will give you the same cipher text given the same input. Chipher modes are not my field of expertise though. [00:54]
gabriel_laddel Even if what I'm suggesting for interns is state of the art for some people. [00:54]
gabriel_laddel I could go to africa (or stanford) if I wanted to be "considered intelligent" [00:54]
mircea_popescu phillipsjk i've not put much design effort into that yet at any rate. [00:54]

phillipsjk After a little research, I found that twofish was one of the finalists in that competition. (Apparently the 64bit block size of blowfish it a little small for some applications like encrypting over 4GB) You are probing me now :) [01:13]

mircea_popescu cazalla i liked the fact that the only pictures in which she displays good posture, she's wearing "slave" or whatever you'd call it garb. [01:15]
mircea_popescu this is shocking but factual : rarely will you see women carrying themselves like actual people outside of dance school and the slave quarters. [01:16]
cazalla you're big on posture eh? mentioned numerous times now [01:17]

punkman chest-bump or fist-fight [01:22]

mircea_popescu the only performance edge ms ever had in its entire history. ever. directx 6-7 [01:30]
mircea_popescu blessfully they choked on it. [01:31]
cazalla my brother played a lot of homm2 (mind you, here is retarded so probably didn't play it well despite sinking so much time into it, never wanted to play it over LAN with me for some reason).. i prefrered EQ.. [01:31]
ascii_modem in '95 too. for me, winblows was the beginning of the end, gamewise [01:31]
cazalla i liked that ghetto version of homm2 which came on the cd, forget the name of it [01:32]
ascii_modem the only edge microshit ever had anywhere was from collusion with hw vendors. [01:32]
mircea_popescu nevertheless. [01:32]
ascii_modem just as today. [01:32]
mircea_popescu at the time, as a game maker, it was "directx or go home" [01:32]
mircea_popescu today, i can make an opengl game and simply not care [01:32]
mircea_popescu this is foundational. [01:33]

mircea_popescu by the time i can actually point to something, that side's lost. [03:05]
ascii_modem lets say this. gawker pays for hippie house , 5 bois per room [03:05]

ascii_modem mod6 et at: i've a hypothesis: if we had parallel sig verification, miners would have a strong game-theoretic immediate incentive to seek out & use therealbitcoin nodes [13:55]
ascii_modem faster verif. >> less chance of orphanchaining [13:56]
mircea_popescu im not sure how this works ? [13:56]
ascii_modem have some icecream, think about this [13:57]
mircea_popescu i'm a miner, i can think. i run my own nodes, i run my own pool, i couldn't care less about you. [13:58]
ascii_modem the funny part is that only the coming of the mega-txspam could have brought this possibility about [13:58]
mircea_popescu i'm a miner, i can't think. i run some random derp pool, i couldn't care less about you. [13:58]
mircea_popescu which ? [13:58]

ascii_modem miner working on chain that's been orphaned is pissing in the wind [14:02]
mod6 ascii_modem: qq about stator build script: I was taking a closer look at this and it seems that your version removes 'no-shared' from the openssl configuration parameters and replaces it with 'threads'. Any main reason here? I thought we needed 'no-shared'? Just curious since your script seems to work well. [14:02]
ascii_modem to know precisely when to stop, he listens to incoming blks [14:02]
ascii_modem mod6: no idea, i didn't even remember what was in your original [14:03]
punkman 0.5.3 getwork is not compatible with anything they use [14:03]
ascii_modem punkman: ? [14:03]
punkman will be hard to use 0.5.3 for mining at this point [14:05]
ascii_modem why? [14:05]
punkman because we don't have getblocktemplate [14:06]
ascii_modem so? [14:06]
ascii_modem workfnction has not changed! [14:07]
mircea_popescu so, again : if they can think they don't need you. if they can't think, they wouldn't even know you exist. [14:07]
mircea_popescu game theopretically, bitcoind is irrelevant for mining. [14:07]
mircea_popescu but do not despair : the same situation was in place back when the power rangers maintained it. [14:07]
ascii_modem so the few miners who use parallel ver ~waste fewer cycles on orphan chain~ and wipe the floor with the rest [14:08]
mircea_popescu are you like deliberately not reading ? [14:08]
ascii_modem expand the 'cant think' [14:09]
mircea_popescu you know, spend three hours mining a spv verified chain because they just don't give a fuck. [14:09]
mircea_popescu dumb enough to point THEIR hash at antminer or w/e [14:09]
ascii_modem and now the 'can think' [14:09]
lobbesbot New post: http://nosuchlabs.com/rss Phuctored RSA Modulus, GCD=3 (Joe Schmuckley; ) [14:09]

mod6 hah Joe Schmuckley [14:10]
mircea_popescu ahaha great name [14:10]
ascii_modem do we have any detectable sign of 'can think' existing in the wild ? [14:10]
punkman yes [14:10]
mircea_popescu depends what we means. [14:10]
ascii_modem and i'll point out that if these people aren't talking ~directly~ to each other, they would still be verifying at speed of slowest link [14:11]
mircea_popescu why wouldn't they be talking directly. [14:12]
mircea_popescu even the schmucks figured that one out apparently. [14:12]
ascii_modem 'we' being something i could read [14:12]
mircea_popescu ascii_modem yeah, it's on the shelf right next to the secret cypher suites, have at. [14:12]
ascii_modem l0lz [14:12]
mircea_popescu understand : unlike most usecases for software, bitcoin mining presents exactly zero incentive to share code. [14:13]
ascii_modem aha [14:13]
mircea_popescu you DO NOT benefit from more people using your software. [14:13]
mircea_popescu this isn't wordpress, or red hat, where you hope to make money downstream out of basically, advertising. [14:14]
mircea_popescu there's a revenue model in place, and traditional software paradigms plainly do not matter. [14:14]
ascii_modem aha it's nuke war [14:14]
ascii_modem i would personally be surprised to learn that anyone bothered to implement multicpu ver prior to 950+kb blocks [14:15]
mircea_popescu what the current outsider schmucks (on #bitcoin-dev and etc) hope to achieve with their time is, release enough code that nobody* uses to give the impression they know their shit, so they can one day maybe join the actual miners as a junior analyst, and until then survive on conference rubber chicken. [14:15]
ascii_modem but sure, why not [14:16]
mircea_popescu it's a shitty game plan, but then again there's women aspiring to be singers, so. [14:16]
mircea_popescu iirc the first > 500kb block was a year ago [14:16]
ascii_modem sure [14:16]
ascii_modem but it being sop - pretty new? [14:16]
ascii_modem needs spam [14:17]
mircea_popescu sop is meaningless for the aforementioned reasons [14:17]
* pete_dushenski (~pete_dush@unaffiliated/pete-dushenski/x-8158685) has joined #bitcoin-assets [14:17]
mircea_popescu this isn't a field where such a thing as sop may be a defined symbol. [14:17]
* pete_dushenski has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [14:17]
ascii_modem just that without heavy blocks, multicpu makes no appreciable difference [14:17]
mircea_popescu on olne hand, you'd be surprised what is appreciable for mining [14:17]
mircea_popescu a quarter second is actually money [14:18]
ascii_modem then yes [14:18]
mircea_popescu on the other hand, some people do code defensively. rare but exists [14:18]
ascii_modem if mircea_popescu tells us that this exists alive somewhere, i'm inclined to at least consider it [14:19]

* assbot removes voice from twixisowned [14:19]
mircea_popescu ascii_modem the gist of what i'm saying is that while foundation publishing the best code possible is a very useful and very worthy thing, you do not have game theoretic reasons to expect the things you were claiming to ewxpect [14:20]
mircea_popescu chiefly because that game doesn't exist, in a number of wayus. [14:20]
ascii_modem but will point out that we could easily have uptake among the not-quite-13373st but not the most ludicrously idiotic minerz [14:20]
ascii_modem with a public multicpu apparatus [14:20]
mircea_popescu this middle may perhaps exist, sure. sadly it's hard to observe [14:20]
* pete_dushenski (~pete_dush@unaffiliated/pete-dushenski/x-8158685) has joined #bitcoin-assets [14:20]
mircea_popescu which is a very concerning thing, as it happens [14:20]
ascii_modem this'd be a spiffy litmus for it [14:21]
* assbot gives voice to pete_dushenski [14:21]
ascii_modem exists or not?! [14:21]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 144076 @ 0.00050498 = 72.7555 BTC [+] [14:21]
mircea_popescu the broader problem is that the way mining works is very much discouraging middle, which is a serious problem, as death of the middle class always precedes centralization. [14:21]
ascii_modem would soon learn [14:21]
mircea_popescu the way this works is : if you're any good as a miner, you're going to have your own infrastructure. you might keep the pool closed, [14:22]
mircea_popescu but it also costs you nothing to keep it open [14:22]
mircea_popescu and so, once it's open, people that aren't every bit as good as you no longer have any incentive to continue [14:22]
mircea_popescu instead, they point at you. [14:22]
mircea_popescu this is how the current "45% of network is dumb as rocks" thing has appeared [14:22]
mircea_popescu it was slowly nursed over half a decade by the above unfortunate centralizing force. [14:23]
mircea_popescu not that this problem wasn't broadly predicted and discussed 2010-2011. the solution, predictably, from white young adult us schmucks, was "honor!1!" [14:23]
mircea_popescu it failed, predictably. [14:23]
* assbot removes voice from ascii_modem [14:23]

pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: so you see a way to reinvigorate the middle ? [14:25]
mircea_popescu no. [14:26]
ascii_modem i've been thinking of the mechanics of miner war [14:26]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 42824 @ 0.00050498 = 21.6253 BTC [+] [14:26]
ascii_modem none of it points anywhere but moar centralized mines [14:27]
pete_dushenski next to hydroelectric dams [14:27]
mircea_popescu there fundamentally can not be a way to organize mining that's not centralizing, BECAUSE mining is going to have to follow the same rules, as that's what it does for bitcoin : checks them. [14:27]
ascii_modem mno [14:28]
ascii_modem plastique is cheap [14:28]
ascii_modem dams - fragile [14:28]
pete_dushenski ascii_modem: 'plastique' makes me think of explosives, but that can't be what you mean ? [14:28]
ascii_modem what else [14:29]
ascii_modem what, you think they won't ? [14:29]
pete_dushenski aha got it now. [14:29]
mircea_popescu it may very well turn out that bitcoin is a case of wishful thinking, entirely being powered by the illusion that we've managed to "get free energy" for as long as this illusion that "miners can be centrally verifying in a decentralizewd manner" lasts. [14:29]
mircea_popescu just like, you know, "coal burns in the furnace, yet coal in the mine will never run out" or whatever [14:29]
ascii_modem slavecoin then. [14:30]
mircea_popescu goes right into the discussion re monetary incentives a week or two ago. [14:30]

mircea_popescu what is with you people! [14:30]
ascii_modem honor? [14:30]
mircea_popescu yes. what else is slave coin ? [14:31]

assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1RrMqTg ) [14:34]
ascii_modem is mircea_popescu posting from some planet inhabited by beings who die rather than slaving, en.masse? [14:34]
ascii_modem can't say i ever visited there [14:34]
mircea_popescu why do you think this matters ? [14:34]
mircea_popescu objectively, what difference can you see between the slave that mines slavecoin because otherwise the ants and the holy paladin that doesn't ravish the maid because... "he couldn't live with himself" otherwise ? [14:35]
mircea_popescu no difference. it's all "for honor". [14:35]
mircea_popescu they learned it the same way, too : by having it beaten into them as children. [14:36]
ascii_modem well as i understood, you contend that the ant death is 'promise, not protocol'. when i suggest that it can be protocol, answered 'they will take the ants' - no ? [14:36]
mircea_popescu no. [14:36]
mircea_popescu i answered that in not taking the ants, they're doing exactly what people proposed miners do in 2010 : "well it's centralizing but they should honorably resist" [14:37]
mircea_popescu sure. they'll honorably resist [14:37]
mircea_popescu until the body gives way. [14:37]
mircea_popescu which is an economic process. [14:37]
mircea_popescu i suppose i'm not putting enough explicit into this which i know from experience but perhaps alone. there is this thing that happens to a slave, when she's naked [14:37]
ascii_modem i'm posting from planet where maxint folks lived and died slaving with considerably less pushing than 'or ants!' [14:37]
mircea_popescu and i mean, mentally naked, not without clothes, but without any ideology [14:38]
mircea_popescu she can still fail. [14:38]
mircea_popescu not because lazy, not because princess in her own head, but simply because there's an end to things. at which point she gets the ants. [14:38]
ascii_modem ah - that! [14:39]
mircea_popescu but up until that point... the whole charade had been powered by her trying to deny this. which is substantially what honor is. [14:39]
ascii_modem so next one picks up the hashng [14:39]
ascii_modem when n-1th is antfood [14:39]
mircea_popescu turning a broken system into an extensive broken system does not fix the system. [14:39]
mircea_popescu what are you, stalin ? [14:40]
mircea_popescu "i'm making a loss on every sale but hope to make it up on volume" ? [14:40]
ascii_modem he did though [14:40]
mircea_popescu notrly. [14:40]
mircea_popescu even hruschev laughed at him. [14:40]
mircea_popescu imagine that. hruschev! O! [14:40]
ascii_modem except that two continents still largely run on what he built 'at a loss' [14:41]

mircea_popescu how did that quote go, "In confronting that which they feared, he had become something else in their eyes...and no longer their champion." [14:52]

mircea_popescu ascii_modem pretty certain he was a basarabi [14:56]
mircea_popescu which is an ancient pecenegian clan. about as romanian as it gets. [14:56]
ascii_modem aha [14:56]
mircea_popescu (pecenegs are a turkic people, migrated in the 500s) [14:58]
mircea_popescu anyway, what i meant was merely that i don't generally seem very romanian to romanians themselves [14:59]
mircea_popescu chiefly on the grounds of not subscribing to various idiocies that there as anywhere constitute the spirit of propriety. [14:59]
pete_dushenski that adverse response by 'the locals' is almost the entrance exam for la serenissima [15:00]
mircea_popescu best anecdote to illustrate this being, of course, that i had a (us born) woman over, many years ago, and she made some local friends (clueless kids all excioted about this english speaking american woman that knows computers and with nary an idea about the world around them) [15:00]

mircea_popescu meanwhile, i actually owned the town and their sorry asses to boot. but hey. [15:01]
mircea_popescu pete_dushenski you gotta appreciate, at least at the time, being romanian was, to romanians, mostly a derogation. [15:01]
mircea_popescu ie, the first step to establish if some item sucked was, "is it romanian made ?" for if it were... [15:02]
