ben_vulpes http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1272924 << i have always wondered! why do mircea_popescu's contracts /always have names/ in addition to the fingerprints? [01:46]
assbot Logged on 13-09-2015 22:05:59; nubbins`: your name is irrelevant [01:46]
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]
ben_vulpes if it boots emacs, i'm in. [01:57]
ben_vulpes "the programmer's portable os" [01:57]
mircea_popescu I feared as much. << the objection is valid, and in no way different from "you can have a working os, i sort-of have one here, it's made out of 400 pieces and i could maybe remake it if i had a week off." [01:57]
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]
assbot Logged on 14-09-2015 02:41:49; *: gernika aims lower. would be satisfied to be able to reconstruct algebra on death bed. [02:03]

mircea_popescu yeah! [02:10]
thestringpuller ben_vulpes: childbearing seems unappealing to me [02:11]
ben_vulpes the things women generally enthuse about doing to cocks doesn't appeal to me either. [02:11]

ben_vulpes no man, like sucking cocks and bearing children. [02:14]
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]
thestringpuller i actually don't think all the xanex in the world would help [02:16]
