so if the OS is handling some other interrupt, it's not going to bother with the input interrupts until after |

I read this guy as saying it should drop everything and move the cursor |
| |
↖ |
| 12:16 |
mircea_popescu |
maybe it should drop everything and "just make it work" |
| 12:16 |
phf |
trinque: a combination of system calls and interrupts, but it's up to scheduler to decide what to do and when. "handling some other interrupt" is usually not the bottle neck |
| 12:17 |
mircea_popescu |
afaik dumbass osen (such as windoze) end up looking choppy because they handle the swap poorly and the windows manager ends up conflicted with some higher priority item on "memory" access |
| |

| 12:18 |
mircea_popescu |
this shouldn't be a problem, except they're written by ustarded children, and so they expect everything all the time or else drop to the floor and cry |
| 12:18 |
phf |
it's usually handling millions of other interrupts, and then the scheduler needs to decide "oh there's some mouse events, maybe i should prioritize them a bit" |

mircea_popescu why u mean that they dont "advertise" it ? |
| 12:43 |
mircea_popescu |
yeah. just saying, if someone's claiming to be a miner, odds are they're a scammer. |
| 12:43 |
OZmaster |
is it dangerous to let people know one is mining? |
| 12:43 |
mircea_popescu |

how could they "use" the term miner to scam something:S i'm totaly not folowing now |
| 12:46 |
mircea_popescu |
ok, lets see if we can make sense of this. |
| 12:47 |
mircea_popescu |
1. miners are key points of the bitcoin infrastructure. unlike traditional infrastructure such as the hoover dam or the pentagon, the miners do not have to be physically discernible. |

the same exact incentives exist to attack all of these. consequently, there exists exactly no incentive for a miner to advertise ; and strong incentive not to. |
| 12:48 |
OZmaster |
oh ic ic |
| 12:48 |
mircea_popescu |
2. conversely, all confidence games are predicated on the same process : "is it called a confidence game because i'm supposed to give you my confidence ?" "no. because i give yo umine". |
| 12:49 |
mircea_popescu |
so... yeah. all con men start by breaking a minor taboo of this sort. the widest known is the "make money" derp, who can't cease talking about how much money he made bla bla. |

now, you can in practice have "prior agreement after the fact", to use the consecrated legal concept (ie, if someone tells you what to use after you got the file, but you "know" it's right because it decrypts to something meaningful). but this doesn't seem much of a variation. |
| 23:24 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway. the hooks to use the tool any way you might want is a part of a well designed tool. this is why a hammer comes with the hook at the other end for pulling out nails, even for hammers you buy to only hurt your fingers with. |

the spec accounts for this, that there should be a hook there. otherwise i fully expect most people will just use the standard dictionary if they ever use the mode at all. |
