| mircea_popescu: | the problem with these is that they're all deeply persuaded, but i do mean DEEPLY, like, in the nephritic layer of their kidneys deep, that the ONE thing to do if you're making a game is rate-limit it. | [02:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | nfi how they got to this notion, "o, you know what the best thing to do would be ? if people wanna do things in our game... ADD TIMERS SO THEY CAN"T!!!" | [02:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | utter fucked in the head, scared by virtual, desperately needing some fake scarcity folk. | [02:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's so very unspeakably dumb if you think about it, wtf, LET PEOPLE PLAY. that's why the fuck you made it in the first place, yes ? so they play it ? | [02:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | dumb as it is, it's not merely widespread, it's universal. "the path to making money in a service economy is not at all doing exceptionally well at serving, but on the contrary, being a fucktarded romanian and saying no all the time!" | [02:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | hmm, did i even recount the sad story of that typically moronic clerk ? | [02:39] |
| diana_coman: | mircea_popescu: I suspect the game will ...break if one plays it seriously like most anything "done" | [02:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917318 << on contemplation : i can see the "don't be taking your own vows to the monastery [because god never heard of you]" in your quote but in honesty i was looking more for a "god is very obviouly on the side of the monastey (and if this isn't at all obvious to you that'd be a cause of concern) [so don't be taking any vows to the monaster | [02:44] |

| mircea_popescu: | y]" | [02:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | whether they're reducible to one another or not is a point i'm still waffly on, so. | [02:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman, sure. of course it will. | [02:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | women will also break if played seriously, and companies and economies and rivers and FUCKING SCIENCE | [02:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is even why we play seriously : so as to have broken things that have been fixed (and broken again and fixed again, xn) rather than shiny untouched "things". | [02:45] |
| diana_coman: | eh, they wanted to make some money not to have to fix things! | [02:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | !Qlater tell phf hey props on your parser, it does right thing with context-supplementing bracket and link-anchoring bracked mixed in same line! | [02:46] |
| lobbesbot: | mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded. | [02:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman, no, that's exactly what i'm saying. they wanted to "make money" sitting rather than to make money making money. | [02:46] |
| diana_coman: | and by "breaks" there I meant more like fundamentally break as in ...it's not really designed well (because why design esp for "so that it can break and be repaired") | [02:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | no, i know. economy is fucked, yes. | [02:47] |
| diana_coman: | well yes, sitting while flapping about as to how not-sitting | [02:48] |
| diana_coman: | aha | [02:48] |
| * mircea_popescu | is great expert at identifying breakage in "virtual economies". in fact, one thing that kept his interest in gaming alive past the single player neverwinter nights / gothic/ nox etc era. | [02:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | and guess what : femstate components always come up with the same "solutions", too. | [02:50] |
| diana_coman: | most game's economies as far I know are a sort of "feeling like an X economy" really | [02:50] |
| diana_coman: | 'dat solution is tried and tested, yes? lolz | [02:51] |

| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman, tried, tested, known not to work, nevertheless "tested" again by every new cuntlet, on usual theory, "this idiocy is tested so often it must be good sense". | [02:54] |
| diana_coman: | heh common sense! | [02:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | in fact, this is SO fucking ~biologically~ specific i'm even proposing it as the ~best currently known~ gender test. 1. female path : what are you going to do ? "im going to try X" why X ? "it's what everyone else tries". 2. male path : what are you going to do ? "i'm going to try Y" why Y ? "never fucking heard of it before" | [02:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | as per the "males -- born to die trying females -- born to carefully & spawn" theory of biological gender difference, it even makes sense. in any case, the included prediction : i say there's not going to be a better (oral over the internet) gender test. | [02:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | (i eminently do not say it has no failure rate. not even pregnancy tests make that sorta claim -- piss on one as a dude long enough you might be surprised eventually.) | [02:59] |
| diana_coman: | hm, I ...would have failed it even at ~12 but I see what you mean, provided that respondent actually gives /is aware of real answer. | [02:59] |

| mircea_popescu: | properly, ie from the bottom up, not "invented by some government" (which is why they're "dark", ie, do not figure in bureaucrat's files) and which is also why they work and so forth and so on. | [03:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | currently you can put a much better price on privacy (and meaningful, too, as a % of the wealth involved -- contrary to what the poortards imagine, privacy is not an abstract, privacy is strictly a function of money as a counter of value. | [03:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | you want privacy when you're killing some dumb fuck, not when you're sitting with the vidya) | [03:27] |

| asciilifeform: | primgen_multipart_primorial.peh conventional single-shot (equiv. to ch18c example) vs all 17 chunks of 32768-bit primorial . | [11:13] |
| asciilifeform: | for both cases, 'rng' was file of first 1MB from http://nosuchlabs.com/fg/nosuchlabs_FG_1024MB_phreesample.bin . | [11:14] |
| asciilifeform: | spoiler : economy not significant (in this ~one~, they are effectively one, rngistically) test , eight 2048bit 'prob primes' shat in 4m26.812s vs 3m52.591s respectively. | [11:15] |
| asciilifeform: | nao it ~is~ possible that in avg case ( again, if not obv, the above could easily be a fluke, given as whole algo is monte carlo ) there is greater economy. | [11:16] |
| asciilifeform: | will need moar test. | [11:16] |
| asciilifeform: | ^ mircea_popescu et al | [11:16] |
| asciilifeform: | in the ordinary 2048bit primorial , 632 invocations of m-r in the elephant primorial, 535 . | [11:19] |
| asciilifeform: | ftr almost all of that 1MB of bottled entropy, actually gets eaten in both runs (it is used not only to get candidates , recall, but to generate m-r witness for ea. shot of m-r ) | [11:20] |
| asciilifeform: | from either 632 / 535, subtract the 32 that the 'winner' consumes, to get # of m-r performed on eventually-rejected candidates. | [11:22] |
| asciilifeform: | 1 moar hypothesis : on boxes where very slow rng (e.g. fg unavailable ) or where heavily milked fg, generating e.g. ephemeral rsa privs with high frequency, economy may be much greater, as fewer doomed m-r shots means fewer '?' invocations for their witnesses gen. | [11:25] |
| asciilifeform: | for completeness : output from variant with only sections 1 .. 8 of the multiprimorial eight 2048bit primes in 4m10.188s . | [11:38] |

| asciilifeform: | loox like diana_coman also used 2048b primes in test of diana_comantronic system 'A relatively short test run obtained 40 random primes of 2048 bits each in 13274 seconds in total (3.7 hours) meaning on average 331.85 seconds per prime (~6 minutes)' and diana_coman's 'winner' gets 16 shots but caveats, a) we have diff iron | [11:46] |
| asciilifeform: | s b) diana_coman was using a live fg rather than bottle | [11:46] |
| asciilifeform: | iirc -- it is possible to run diana_coman's mechanism from a bottle. sadly i dun have enuff hands just nao , to attempt | [11:49] |
