bleh, yet another marketeering vehicle |
03:23 |
moriarty |
so Visa came about from the now defunct IBANCO and Mastercard's counterpart is ICA |
03:23 |
moriarty |
and cards came about as a tabs based system between banks and departmental stores or oil companies |
03:23 |
moriarty |
so if you were a customer at a bank and you shopped at a departmental store, you could use such a card to settle your transactions |

the problem is that the whole thing is optimised for appearance, not substance. technically the whole credit card thing doesn't work very well. |

and of course that's how American Express got its name |

moriarty |
bounce, well, the effects are visible without having to explicitly state one's own brilliance |
04:05 |
moriarty |
i think that's what is meant when someone aspires for an intellectual girl |
04:06 |
moriarty |
i.e. someone who explicitly shows off her intellectual prowess, and while that's welcome, it is the more subtle girl who exerts her intelligence socially that is probably someone i admire more, moreover because social mastery is something more elusive than academic |
04:07 |
bounce |
"dumb" isn't the right word for that, not even close. |
04:07 |
moriarty |
and a girl who is confident in her intelligence need not always be so nerdy about it, i.e. she can act like a normal human being without telling me about the intricacies of quantum field theory and the fundamental tradeoffs between continuous/discretisation of spacetime continuum binded together by the graviton or loop quantum gravity |
04:09 |
moriarty |
sure, on outward appearance she appears dumb because she likes all the conventional things that a popular girl likes :) hair straighteners, mixers, proms, but i value such a girl who can master social situations and get people to do what she wants implicitly |
04:10 |
moriarty |
and academic mastery is trivial at this point :) so she need not flaunt it because well, flaunting your intellectual superiority is a surefire way to arouse envy and be at odds with having social grace |
04:10 |
moriarty |
so yeah quintessentially dumb :) |
04:10 |
moriarty |
but my kind of girl |
04:11 |
bounce |
think your definition of "not dumb" is a bit too narrow. there's such a thing as kinds of intelligence (we know this inasmuch as we know what intelligence is anyway, which we don't, not really), and what you're rooting for is "social intelligence", something girls tend to be better with than boys |
04:12 |
moriarty |
xmj, well if calvinism is attributable as a predecessor to capitalism then i don't see what's so bad about it |

whereas your definition inasmuch as it is one also includes girls that have no intelligence whatsoever, of any kind. those exist too, you know. |

04:19 |
moriarty |
BingoBoingo, even science requires faith |
04:19 |
moriarty |
everything needs axioms as Godel would have you know |
04:19 |
moriarty |
:) |
04:19 |
bounce |
nothing requires you to believe the axioms. |
04:19 |
moriarty |
bounce, then you cannot build any system of belief without it |
04:20 |
moriarty |
or any logical system even |
04:20 |
BingoBoingo |
There was a great gulf between Euclid and Pythagorus |
04:20 |
bounce |
building on axioms goes like "IFF these are true THEN it follows that...", bit of a difference from "these things ARE TRUE regardless of what reality says BECAUSE GOD TOLD ME SO" |
04:21 |
moriarty |
bounce, well it's no different then saying, IFF God tells me so THEN it follows that... |
04:21 |
bounce |
you really see no difference in that? |
04:21 |
moriarty |
bounce, nope |
04:22 |
bounce |
then philosophy is dogma to you, innit |
04:22 |
BingoBoingo |
No difference at all? |
04:22 |
moriarty |
bounce, pretty much :) |
04:22 |
moriarty |
bounce, are you familiar with Godel's incompleteness theorem? |
04:22 |
BingoBoingo |
I don't know what confusion of ideas can lead to this conversation. |
04:22 |
moriarty |
tell me in a one-liner what you think the first incompleteness theorem is espousing |
04:23 |
moriarty |
let me help clarify your confusion, BingoBoingo |
04:23 |
moriarty |
the first incompleteness theorem states that under the proper conditions, there are statements that are true but not provable |
04:24 |
moriarty |
and these are a result from a non-isomorphic model as proven by Lowenheim-Skolem in first order logic |
04:25 |
moriarty |
the second part of Godel's exposition states that under proper conditions, a strong formal system cannot prove its consistency |
04:25 |
moriarty |
think axiom of choice, or Zorn's lemma being equivalent over the ZF set theory as such attempts and the findings prove as much |
04:26 |
BingoBoingo |
And yet the Moon rocket worked. |
04:26 |
bounce |
that still doesn't require belief. let me give you a simile. |
04:26 |
moriarty |
the power of ##econometrics and mathematics leads you to such mind-clarifying conclusions :) never underestimate the power of knowledge to distill the world with such ease |
04:27 |
moriarty |
BingoBoingo, sure, or that a bitcoin trader profited |
04:27 |
moriarty |
what does that tell you? not a lot |
04:27 |
moriarty |
are his axioms or beliefs correct? maybe, maybe not |
04:27 |
moriarty |
it's the classical Humean induction dilemma |
04:28 |
moriarty |
bounce, sure, go ahead |
04:28 |
BingoBoingo |
moriarty: Well what happen to poor Cantor in the end after meditating on Cardinality so long? |
04:28 |
BingoBoingo |
How bored as a lens grinder did SPinoza have to be to develop his system? |
04:29 |
bounce |
consider, if you will, philosophy to ideas as math is to numbers; you can start with axioms and build on top of them. you can admire the building, you can refine it, you can start over and build something else. nothing requires to believe in your own bullshit, though if you'd like, you can at your own peril. probably going to get you some scorn from other philosophers if you do. |
04:29 |
moriarty |
BingoBoingo, how much fun did Feynman have as raconteur, playboy and bongo player :) |
04:30 |
BingoBoingo |
How funny are fundamentals, when you consider the anatomic fundament? |
04:30 |
moriarty |
BingoBoingo, how wealthy did Newton die off in the end and the power he amassed politically and economically? |
04:30 |
moriarty |
for every ludicrous example you have there are more counterexamples :) |
04:30 |
bounce |
in comparison and contrast, religion typically starts with teaching you about a building constructed aeons ago, likely by confused shepherds high on whatever it was they were smoking, and requires you to live by its tenets. quite possibly at the peril of your life, if not at least at the peril of your eternal soul. |
04:32 |
bounce |
equate them and you'd be equating brazilian slums to downtown london or something. it's a little confused. |
04:33 |
BingoBoingo |
!up Feynman, Newton worked on problems with applications. Cantor, Spinoza drowned in fundamentals. |
04:33 |
BingoBoingo |
!up moriarty |
04:37 |
moriarty |
bounce, religion is basically at its most simplest an assortment of teachings on how to live life optimally within the constructs of society at that point in time |
04:37 |
moriarty |
bounce, this is not too dissimilar from constitutions of today which are viewed with such sacred respect |
04:37 |
xmj |
fun fact: ideology is virtually indistinguishable from religion |
04:37 |
moriarty |
bounce, and as such is impossible to modify the tenets of |
04:37 |

04:38 |
moriarty |
BingoBoingo, the fundamentals elucidate the applications |
04:38 |
moriarty |
BingoBoingo, fact is, without fundamentals, you cannot achieve any sort of meaningful application, you're as good as monkeys with typewriters |
04:39 |
moriarty |
with fundamentals, it becomes glaringly obvious how to apply and optimise a fit-for-purpose invention |
04:39 |
xmj |
bounce: if you're not perceived as believing in your own philosophy, you'll a) not sell it and b) be considered hypocrite |
04:39 |
moriarty |
that's how it is with technical analysis vis-a-vis ##econometrics :-) heh |
04:39 |
xmj |
why develop a philosophy if you don't believe in it? |
04:39 |
moriarty |
in one, you do lots of application, in the other you do applications too, but you understand the fundamentals driving your model |
04:39 |
moriarty |
ask any TA-er what they understand |
04:39 |
moriarty |
you'd find very little if anything |

xmj, because the mind is a playground |
04:40 |
moriarty |
xmj, playing devil's advocate has never been funner :) it exercises your otherwise bored mind and allows you to travel from one ideology to another and have fun with them |
04:41 |
xmj |
moriarty: devil's advocate requires taking someone else's ideology, putting it into a jail/sandbox, examining it |
04:41 |
fluffypony |
Funner is not a word |
04:41 |
xmj |
you can't play devils advocate on your own philosophies |

please don't do this. |
04:47 |
moriarty |
xmj, let's try a little credo, i see ideologies as part of a continuum, many of the questions i am interested in lies in the intersection, i tend to think in terms of probability distributions rather than dichotomous epistemic categories |
04:48 |
moriarty |
xmj, does that clarify things better now? |
04:48 |
moriarty |
sorry i tend to assume people know what i'm talking about |
04:48 |
xmj |
lies in the intersection of WHAT? |
04:48 |

04:49 |

but hey if you need me to espouse further i'm always happy to oblige |
04:51 |

"I tend to assume people are well-read" |
04:51 |
moriarty |

04:51 |

yeah, i'm well-read |

04:51 |

precision takes time |

that's why culture exists |
04:52 |
moriarty |
when you make a joke, you don't want to explain the entire innuendo and corresponding nuances associated to be precise about your joke |
04:52 |
moriarty |
it's the imprecision that captivates, makes you giggle |

04:56 |
moriarty |
xmj, and generally the optimal solutions lie at the intersections, which ironically if you think about it is the textbook definition of creativity |

because every concept representable by a phrase or term in philosophy has books written supporting it |

the problem with autistic people or my understanding of the crowd you're referring to, is that they are used to neat and concise models that exist inscience |

law is a good case in point for what xmj was saying; you need to be very precise in what you say. a misplaced comma can easily cost millions of dollars. |

sure it's a lot of reading and sure there are a lot of people saying confused things, perhaps even deliberately confusing issues. |

(talking about feeding humanities into a computer and creating an ontology) |
05:46 |
MolokoDesk |
heh. I was reading about Alain Badiou last few days. He counterposes ontologies with "events" that break the ontology. His stuff is peculiar. Philosophers seem to be looking for/looking at things like unfalsifiable hypotheses, and areas where logic breaks down, the nature of paradoxes and at various limiting cases of systematized thought. |
05:46 |
MolokoDesk |
stuff currently outside the envelope of "understandabilty" or "logical resolution". |
05:47 |
MolokoDesk |
anyway, ragnar suggests it's feasible to poll or access gribble via an http interface of some sort without going through IRC/freenode. |
05:47 |
MolokoDesk |
I was initially scraping bitcoin-otc's web of trust search tools to get the trust metrics. |
05:48 |

openpgp in javascript. oh dear. |
05:48 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
at least |
05:48 |
MolokoDesk |
apparently that's not "trusted" here. not sure why. I know gribble is the software agent that maintains the bitcoin-otc WoT data structure. |
05:48 |
punkman |
MolokoDesk: you can keep a local copy of gribble's database, update once a day or something |
05:49 |
jurov |
or ask how assbot is doing it |
05:49 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
opengpg java is 'just' as secure as anything else assuming its totally isolated |
05:49 |

ok. one scenario I was talking about a few minutes ago was someone vandalizes the bot and has their rating lowered below access threshold, but they're still trusted by deedBot and deedBot keeps getting vandalized. |
05:49 |
MolokoDesk |
the other scenario is someone urgently needs to register contracts to they're up-rated to +2 to access the bot, but it won't recognize their new rating because it "already has" that info. |
05:50 |
MolokoDesk |
so right now I'm looking up the trust metric for each batch of incoming contracts. it's not that much overhead. |
05:50 |
MolokoDesk |
making a resident agent that sit's in IRC and relays requests coming in over HTTP to gribble would work. |
05:51 |
MolokoDesk |
make a tiny webserver combined with a very limited IRC bot. |
05:51 |
MolokoDesk |
the webserver only has to open sockets and fork() a process occasionally. |
05:51 |
MolokoDesk |
it's like a 20 line program if even that. |
05:51 |
MolokoDesk |
not that I want to do that. |
05:51 |
MolokoDesk |
heh. |
05:52 |
MolokoDesk |
if there's an http interface to gribble's database that would work too. some SQL-ish RPC-ish thing. |

if there's confidence that the bitcoin-otc website /WoT site is not insecure I can just use my old code to get trust metrics over the web. It's the same database. |
05:53 |
MolokoDesk |
thanx, punkman. clue. |
05:53 |

you are confusing sqlite with other beasts perhaps |

if it's importable into mySQL it would be easy. |

well.. let's see.. first you have to apt-get SQLite and hope it runs... |

(well. so far none of the command line commands work in sqlite on a linux box with RatingSystem.db listed as the "main" database. won't show the tables etc. |
06:23 |

are you using sqlite3? |
06:23 |
MolokoDesk |
oh. that's because sqlite destroyed the file when I opened it with sqlite. |

sounds useful |
06:23 |

no. it's 2.8.17 I don't admin this box so I can't change that. |

I'm sure this totally works if you're used to using it. |
06:24 |

you probably have sqlite3 installed as well |

it's like it thinks it's opening a new database with that name and zeros the file. |
06:31 |
MolokoDesk |
laff. nevermind. I was in the wrong directory, so it was, in fact, creating the database file. |
06:34 |
MolokoDesk |
ok. got it. sqlite3 RatingSystem.db then .output FOO.txt then .dump .quit cat FOO.txt |

how's your command of SQL in general? |
06:42 |
MolokoDesk |
I've been doing it for a long time off and on. since like uh... 1980s |
06:42 |
MolokoDesk |
it's probably a turing-complete language, though I've never used it that way. |
06:43 |
MolokoDesk |
also one needs to know about various exploits that can get through various "...real_sql_string()" filters |
06:43 |

it is if you include the recursion extensions. how about relational algebra? |
06:44 |
MolokoDesk |
yeah, I'm kind of a math head, SQL looks sort of like COBOL or something. it works. |
06:44 |
MolokoDesk |
I use regular expressions frequently. |

RagnarDanneskjol: haha for downing him and failing |

06:45 |
MolokoDesk |
when to index. |
06:45 |
bounce |
plenty people using "sql" turn out to've little inklink of the theory backing the thing and so aren't very good at using it what it's for--expressing relations between data. then you end up with a glorified key/value store, which is a waste of all that complexity. such people think mysql is a good idea. |
06:46 |
MolokoDesk |
oh yeah, designing the database to reflect how it's going to be used and the semantics of the data and the relations between the tables etc. |
06:47 |
MolokoDesk |
there are a lot of high level skills involved that wouldn't be reflected in the language reference card. |
06:47 |

heh.there are conflicts of interest having to do with actually having to write and maintain a program. Many developers have no long term relationship with the results of their work, so they're concerned with optmizing return on their time with a customer they're probably only going to work with once. |
06:48 |
MolokoDesk |
so you get this quick and dirty code that's kind of awful in such a case. |
06:49 |
MolokoDesk |
some people get paid for coding instead of thinking. |
06:49 |
MolokoDesk |
essentially. |
06:49 |
bounce |
some people even get paid too much to write good code, so they write shitty code instead. too expensive to do it right. |
06:50 |
MolokoDesk |
open source may have remedied that culturally. If everyone is going to see your code it matters what it does, how it does it and what it looks like. |
06:50 |
bounce |
still plenty of awful open source code Out There |
06:51 |

not awful is the exception |
06:51 |
MolokoDesk |
there are all kinds of oblique proverbs about commercial software development like: "good, fast and cheap, choose any two" |
06:51 |
punkman |
like sqlite :P |
06:53 |
MolokoDesk |
there's relative awful and absolute awful. Absolute awful would be something that does a join using a loop and a bunch of separate lookups. You'll see people who use declarative languages and aren't aware of the judo available in SQL. They often have no idea what the computer is actually doing, just what the language constructs accomplish in terms of final output. |
06:53 |

two things I dislike about sqlite really. its lack of type checking, and it having become a bit of a hype, a "must have" in certain circles. |
06:54 |
punkman |
who hypes sqlite? |
06:54 |
MolokoDesk |
another uh delusion, I guess, is that SQL is supposed to make it easier to program. Every few years there's some software putsch that claims "you'll never have to program again, our language is so user-friendly and intuitive" I think SQL was originally promoted that way. It was going to be some 4th generation language. |

I use php a lot though, as a sketchpad language for rapid prototyping. it lets one do a lot without thinking about the details. |
06:59 |
MolokoDesk |
it's very weakly-typed. |
06:59 |

I think it has implicit type conversion inconsistencies too. |

I wonder if you created a collision with two deeds that close together. |
07:26 |
MolokoDesk |
I probably need to add the queue we were discussing, ragnar. |
07:27 |
MolokoDesk |
or a refractory period where it rejects a barrage of fast deed requests. |
07:27 |
RagnarsBitch |
Its always done sha1 fine |
07:27 |
RagnarsBitch |
What is prob |
07:27 |
MolokoDesk |
I think the sha1 test case I was using wasn't in WoT at the time is why I've never noticed one before. |
07:28 |
RagnarsBitch |
I think you were. Still what's the issue? |
07:28 |
MolokoDesk |
I think if it's in the process of waiting for gribble and you dump another incoming deed bundle, the unbundler is asynchronous and can stomp on the chain of gribble dialogs and force a new one to start. |
07:29 |
MolokoDesk |
the obvious solution is to put the pastebin tokens into a queue and handle them one at a time regardless of how fast they come in. |
07:29 |
RagnarsBitch |
Again, where do you see it as an issue |
07:30 |
MolokoDesk |
if someone sets the expiration time on a pastebin to 1 minute that might not be so swell. Nobody should do that though. |
07:30 |
RagnarsBitch |
Last deed is fine |
07:30 |
MolokoDesk |
It may have just been an issue. what if two people just happen to want to .deed something at the same instant? |
07:30 |
RagnarsBitch |
Not a big concern |
07:30 |
MolokoDesk |
or someone writes a bot to spew a few deeds they have laying around. |
07:31 |

well that is a gribbl prob too |

quickly! |
10:36 |
MolokoDesk |
when elapsed>= interval it bundles and spends and tracks to blockchain. |
10:37 |
MolokoDesk |
the filename uses block height since blockID seems arbitary and duplicated. |
10:37 |
MolokoDesk |
most/all blockchain tools on the web use block height |
10:37 |
mircea_popescu |
problem is you don't know the block height when you save the file, do you ? |
10:38 |
MolokoDesk |
no the file is saved named BUNDLE_UNSPENT-1BITCOINADDRESS.txt |
10:38 |
MolokoDesk |
when it's time to spend which is usuallly the next 60 seconds it changes the name to BUNDLE_PENDING... |
10:38 |
mircea_popescu |
aha |
10:39 |
mircea_popescu |
aite. |
10:39 |
MolokoDesk |
and when the blockheight confirm comes in it's changed to 34234-1BITCOINADDRESS.txt and published to a web-accessible directory |
10:39 |
MolokoDesk |
and announced. |
10:39 |
mircea_popescu |
and if there's a block reorg ? |
10:39 |
MolokoDesk |
doom |
10:39 |
mircea_popescu |
no good. |
10:40 |
mircea_popescu |
that's why i wanted the txid. txids are fixed per tx |
10:40 |
MolokoDesk |
ok. we need a definition of what the absolute location of a block is. |
10:40 |
mircea_popescu |
irrespective of the block they end up in |
10:40 |
MolokoDesk |
I noticed that inclusion in an orphan block would mess this up... there are often several blocks with the same blockID, at least using some tools. |
10:40 |
mircea_popescu |
it was never a question of block id, whatever that is |

it rejects for assbot level1+level2 trust <2 |

that's no good. |
10:43 |
mircea_popescu |
a) l2 = 1 should be enough ; b) l1 = 1 and l2 = 0 is stil valid. |
10:44 |
MolokoDesk |
oh. it only has to be one? |
10:44 |
MolokoDesk |
ok. |
10:44 |
mircea_popescu |
make it reject for !((l1 > 0)||(l2 > 0)) |
10:44 |
MolokoDesk |
maybe it's doing that. let me look at the code briefly. |
10:44 |
MolokoDesk |
if that was your spec that's what it's doing. |

lemme certify this. looking. |

considered using transactionID |
10:46 |
kakobrekla |
<mircea_popescu> make it reject for !((l1 > 0)||(l2 > 0)) < l1+12 > 0 is simpler |
10:47 |
mircea_popescu |
kakobrekla you are right. |
10:47 |

11:11 |
MolokoDesk |

11:12 |
MolokoDesk |
gribble bans anyone for 5 minutes if they make more than 12 requests in a 60 second interval. that probably happened while deedBot wasn't voice. |
11:12 |
mircea_popescu |
can you practically limit work to that volume ? |
11:12 |
MolokoDesk |
there's no appeal against that. I'll have to pace requests by any of various methods. |
11:12 |
mircea_popescu |
i can appeal it but i'd rather not if it's not absolutely necessary. |
11:12 |
MolokoDesk |
an incoming URL queue is the most reasonable. |
11:12 |
kakobrekla |
this has turned into brain surgery |
11:13 |
mircea_popescu |
in general the 60 minutes of a block would currently take a maximum of 720 deeds at that rate. unless we're actually processing 500... |
11:13 |
MolokoDesk |
yeah, I wasn't going to suggest any mods to gribble even if nanotube would do them because everyone else's stuff would stop working. |
11:13 |
mircea_popescu |
kakobrekla some people like to work, unlike slovens :D |
11:13 |
MolokoDesk |
for example, the information about which KEYID or NICK you're asking about disappears if it's not found in WoT. Gribble just says not found there. |
11:13 |
mircea_popescu |
MolokoDesk can always jus get an exception ; always a great idea to only ask for exceptions when you need them |
11:13 |
MolokoDesk |
so I already have to pace and sequence the request to gribble. |

interesting. |

mircea_popescu |
MolokoDesk ok. if gribble can grant deedBot unlimited requests thats the solution. << that's not the solution yet. it wil be the solution once we process a lot of volume. atm the soluition is to queue. |
11:15 |
punkman |
if there's a lot of volume, best to keep local copy of OTC database |
11:15 |
MolokoDesk |
queue is more robust against various other collision events. I intend to queue incomings. |
11:15 |
MolokoDesk |
nobody would run an exchange without queueing orders. you'd lose orders. |

deedBot is sniffing the top block once 60 seconds. if a freakishly fast block mining event happens back to back it could miss the inclusion in the block. |
11:20 |
mircea_popescu |
so if anyone knows anything about growing cactuses, get back to me. i got a tiny something, which i believe is armatocereus godingianus. he seems happy enough and is growing, but the shoots are all spindly. ie, the base like 6 strands each an inch thick, each shot this inch long, 1/8th of an inch wide things. |
11:20 |
MolokoDesk |
I may have to track back to detect block inclusion in that case. |
11:20 |
mircea_popescu |
is this how it grows ? is it upset with the light ? |
11:20 |
mircea_popescu |
MolokoDesk these freakishly fast blocks happen a lot actually. |
11:21 |
mircea_popescu |
can it sniff the top 6 blocks ? |
11:21 |
bounce |
what about gloves? |
11:21 |
MolokoDesk |
etiolation due to low light. also cactus seedlings have cotyledons like most other dicots. |

sure. I was considering looking for block height increments of more than 1 and then scanning back. alternatively, scan backwards to the first block with a date before the incoming file creation date. |
11:25 |
MolokoDesk |
scanning back would allow the tracking interval to be longer than a minute or 5 |

MolokoDesk: somewhat of a hack, but electrum has getaddressbalance function, which returns balance for any address (unlike bitcoind) |
11:33 |
mircea_popescu |
dignork it also happens to be the correct way to handle this. the "wallet" nonsense still boggles my mind. |
11:33 |
MolokoDesk |
electrum is the gold standard for this sort of thing (pun intended) but that's a serious dev/admin/maintenance thing on this end. If I had electrum RPC already at the start of this I may have done it that way. it's still on the desirable things to do list. |
11:34 |
MolokoDesk |
the less reliance on 3rd party APIs the better in most cases. |
11:34 |
MolokoDesk |
I have fallback capability in the bot but it's not active. I can track with two different website APIs. there's only one wallet, but more can be added. |
11:34 |
mircea_popescu |
MolokoDesk nah i don't think it's all that desirable. ideally no dependencies etc. |
