mircea_popescu | and go to great lengths to manually bypass barriers << incidentally, this is why a b-a linux is such a low hanging fruit. | [01:52] |
mircea_popescu | but for some reason either the histeresis is great or outright resistance to the notion is great. | [01:52] |
ben_vulpes | what hysteresis | [01:52] |
mircea_popescu | in between me pointing out gentoo does not actually work and alf getting off his "works for me" horse. | [01:54] |
mircea_popescu | there's gotta be a complete bitcoin distro. kernel and all. | [01:55] |
ben_vulpes | heh--pull a foundation and start with an ancient kernel? | [01:55] |
mircea_popescu | maybe. but ancient crypto is useless. | [01:56] |
mircea_popescu | modern crypto useless for the reason stated | [01:56] |
mircea_popescu | there's going to have to be a bisection and it's hard work, of the "do not bother me for three days" sort. | [01:56] |
ben_vulpes | well, "ancient". | [01:56] |
mircea_popescu | 1990s. | [01:56] |

mircea_popescu | quite a ways to go to what we actually want to have. | [01:58] |
mircea_popescu | http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-09-2015#1273642 << this is true. i would estimate a ~passible~ clump of v-math to be in between 20 and 50mn nodes, each of which requiring the reasonable student an hour to an evenings' study. | [01:59] |
assbot | Logged on 14-09-2015 02:34:49; asciilifeform: problem is, most folks asking for this kind of thing, have vastly overoptimistic idea of what can be expected from a single book and a reasonable amount of study. | [01:59] |
mircea_popescu | wich strictly means that a) mathematics is not open to human beings and b) even ultraspecialised approaches are pushing the proposition. | [02:00] |
mircea_popescu | ;;calc 16 * 365 * 50 | [02:00] |
gribble | 292000 | [02:00] |
mircea_popescu | maybe 1% or so is the best you can hope for, as a human. | [02:00] |
mircea_popescu | the problem is that until and unless someone takes a serious byte out of making the damned thing, it's kind of hard to guess if and how the graph is actually summarizable, or w/e the term is. | [02:01] |
mircea_popescu | but 3k years' worth of bumbling efforts at "teaching" math by ear certainly never got very far with it. | [02:02] |
mircea_popescu | http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-09-2015#1273646 << algebra is easily the hardest part. not even just because the notion of number is easily the most complex abstraction we've invented to date. | [02:03] |

thestringpuller | how are those two things related?!? | [02:15] |
ben_vulpes | things women do that i don't! | [02:15] |
thestringpuller | being on the male side of child bearing is the unappealing part i was referring to! lol | [02:15] |
thestringpuller | i would need 9 months of xanex for that | [02:16] |
