mircea_popescu: "senior" "political analist" "on maternity leave". hurr durr etcetera, signalling up to 11 maybe 9 wasn't enough.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo vlad tepee ? aww.
mircea_popescu: for the record : it is incorrect romania had no indigenous vampire myth. the error is excusable due to the compelx circumstance : romania has TWO kinds of vampires. one is the flyer, a sort of strange beast that bothers young maidens (females only), giving them anemia and hot dreams. the other is a witch/ghost sort of item that comes out of children born with caput galeatum (caita in ro) which are improperly buried (no stake
mircea_popescu: through heart and other proceedings). these will then suck the mana (life force) out of crops/cattle.
mircea_popescu: so because the ro vampire idea was cleaved through the middle, separating the sexual and mystical portions into two different items it seems there's no indigenuous vampire myth.
mircea_popescu: in fact, there is, it was just born with story bifida.
BingoBoingo: Ah, well at least vlad tepee > jihadi peepee

asciilifeform: adlai: so what's it do ?
asciilifeform: adlai: and why would it recur in various altcoins
adlai: my guess, given that it recurs, is that it's how the commitment to an empty tree looks. what it does, is tell us that those miners are producing SW blocks but have nobody actually using SW
adlai: some alts activated SW already, all the political pressure with nowhere to go in bitcoin, overflowed into, eg, litecoin
a111: Logged on 2017-07-28 14:56 mircea_popescu: makes it even lulzier that they had to destroy the block space to save it.
mircea_popescu: FACT : the "space gain" that will be provided by "segregated witness" in its entire existence will not actually cover the full bitcoin blocks lost to date with the dicking about.
asciilifeform: was anybody dumb enough to actually believe that it would ?
asciilifeform: or that it has anything to do with saving space or some other vaguely constructive item

mircea_popescu: but are they switching to bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: oh, noes, gotta usg moar.
asciilifeform: unwitnessed, or terrorism-listed tx, not mined, etc
asciilifeform: this is why i still hold that the high-S thing was a victory for the enemy. 'you can make your tx, but NOBODY will mine it, and to even find out why you now need to import prbism'
asciilifeform: all 'soft fork' are entirely the same thing: permissioned tx.
mircea_popescu: what exactly "victory" ? for as long as ustards keep on pretending washington dc is "the capital" of some imaginary "sovereign country", they're more than welcome to... themselves... act if iti were. no more.
mircea_popescu: for as long as miners mine only txn divisible by two, they're welcome to... mine them.
asciilifeform: first 'divisible by two', but then 'non-terrorismlisted'.
mircea_popescu: by your line of reasoning, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-28#1690577 is "some sort of victory" idem.

mircea_popescu: wrt to the item of interest ? who the fuck cares what dood writes on his website.
asciilifeform: next time mircea_popescu complains re tx not being mined for no detectable reason, i'ma point him to this thread
mircea_popescu: obviously not the same size of stupidity. but the same KIND. which was the point here, category.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not saying stupidity is not stupidity, you. i am saying, it is no sort of victory for the stupid.
asciilifeform: in the sense where idiocy is eventually 'own punishment' - yes
mircea_popescu: people gouging out their eyes to spite their nose aren't specifically winning "some kind of victory against noses"
asciilifeform: but big enough idiot creates a crater , for other folx to fall into.
mircea_popescu: this is how idiot craters fill, in nature.
mircea_popescu: other idiots fall into, then spiders come and lay eggs, then moss eats the etc. eventually it's flat again.
mircea_popescu: it's EXACTLY why you don't want to give ak to monkey, like afritard "soldiers" ; and also the whole fucking point behind http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1683142

mircea_popescu: this is recurring item in african campaigns of colonial powers.
asciilifeform: ah these monkeys - yes
mircea_popescu: anyway, the important, overarching point above is that the situation is not symmetrical. yes, the continued existence of the republic is, in and of itself, some kind of victory against socialism ; but no, the continued existence of socialism is no kind of victory, for it, or against the republic.
mircea_popescu: the reason for the asymmetry is that socialism positively needs its unicity argument, as it has no others. without "ourdemocracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others [we're willing to consider, in a limited review intended to circularily "prove" the point]" there's no ourdemocracy.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the republic needs no such nonsense, as it prevails in the open air against the pantsuit decoctions.
mircea_popescu: to remind : venice stood for a millenium. this is longer than the "thousand years reich" national-socialism managed ; it is longer than any french "republic" ever succeeded ; longer than the entire existence of the us by a factor of about three, notwithstanding the us didn't start out as a socialist state.
mircea_popescu: it is, actually, about twice as long as rome stood, their idle pretense to millenarity notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu: (rome became a socialist state with sulla ; or if you prefer marian reforms. this is about 4 centuries after the founding -- we're not about to credit the 750 date of the founding of the ~etruscan~ city)

ag3nt_zer0: greetings TMSR
ag3nt_zer0: perhaps its out of my current range of understanding, but might someone point me in the direction that I may grasp how the hell a keypair created on an airgapped computer has relevance in the actual online network...? Applied Cryptography (blue) is en route so perhaps that will help but in meantime thought I would ask here as no luck with searches - don't even know what terms would bring that up...
asciilifeform: what means 'has relevance in the actual online network' ??
phf: i think the question is "how is that i can generate a wallet offline/airgapped without telling anyone, but then it magically works on real network"
ag3nt_zer0: I guess my lame-o speculation is that a keypair somehow needs to have access to the network to "exist"
asciilifeform: can exist on paper
asciilifeform: or anywhere
asciilifeform: does the number 7 need 'access to network' in order to 'exist' ?!
phf: presumably the answer is "you make it exist by spending to a public key"
phf: (and until you do its nature as a wallet can be debated philosophically. i think majority of tmsr is platonists, so there exists an infinitive number of wallets to which you can spend whether or not anyone has possession of them. you can though discover a wallet through the process of key generation)
asciilifeform: phf: it wasn't clear to me that he was discussing bitcoin
phf: i think it's a continuation of his "how do i keep my coins safe without running full node" question
asciilifeform: ( he mentioned 'applied crypto' which is a schoolbook that pre-dates subj, for instance)
ag3nt_zer0: phf is this so because there can only be absolutely (1) corresponding private key to any given public key, no matter whether created on mars in the sand or in the computer on earth?
ag3nt_zer0: because mathematics is absolute? or this math is?
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: in a well-designed public key cryptosystem -- yes
asciilifeform: in a boobytrapped system - potentially 2, 3, infinity keys
ag3nt_zer0: ok thanks... hmmm since you just indicated that applied crypto predates and answer to this question might you have anything to recommend off the top of your head for reading that I might get a more sturdy conceptual footing here?
ag3nt_zer0: predates an answer
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: try to formulate more exactly what it is you are interested in finding out
phf: i've not actually read applied cryptography but if it has a section on public key cryptography it should demonstrate the "there can only be absolutely (1) corresponding private key to any given public key", but i guess in order to have certainty about the mechanism you should be reading books on number theory
asciilifeform: phf: this is true re rsa but potentially false re ecc
phf: i don't understand ecc :(
phf: i make periodic attempts at it every once in a while, and every time i have to go further back in my mathematics education
asciilifeform: phf: same
asciilifeform: i suspect that the basic component ( the choice of curve ) is not actually ~understood~
asciilifeform: at least by anyone who publicly documented.
asciilifeform: it is voodoo.
ag3nt_zer0: hmmmm ok phf and asciilifeform thanks very much... I am thinking I don't even know what a computer is, philosophically... not grokking the fundamentals of LOGIC and physics - fish in water... what the hell IS a computer I guess I need to find out
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: player piano with a conditional reverse gear
asciilifeform: ^ would have made sense to, e.g., mark twain.
ag3nt_zer0: anyone know of a good, or the good, metaphysics of computers or computation book?
BingoBoingo: Perhaps start with Aristotle's Physics?
phf: oh i was just taking a piss, because of asciilifeform's reaction. i don't think you have to go esoteric. i don't know of any books, but early lisp related research had plenty of "metaphysics of computing" papers of varied quality that will probably be easily demolished by any real philosopher. i don't know your level of knowledge but perhaps a "introduction to programming" book would do
phf: for example https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html is a classic book on the subject
ag3nt_zer0: BingoBoingo, phf thanks
phf: besides applied cryptography comes with C examples and to presupposes all kinds of knowledge that you probably don't have. since you already ordered it, and was planning on going through it, do so, and that'll show you where you might need to go from there
phf: (it will not be a waste to do so; an alternative reading suggestion will only be necessary if applied crypto is too dense and you're too lazy/undisciplined to fully commit to it)
ag3nt_zer0: phf ok sounds good thx again...
ag3nt_zer0: heh this reminds me of TMSR: "E.W. Dijkstra who suggested IT companies not to hire programmers without a suitable knowledge in Latin."
