pretty much everything lower than Pu in the atomic table is present to some degree inside a fission reactor |
00:50 |
mircea_popescu |
well if the reaction runs away... pretty much everything forms. |
00:50 |
decimation |
the main problem is the stuff that decays slowly, but on the upside it decays slowly - less intense radiation |
00:50 |
mircea_popescu |
there's probably stuff all the way to 230 in there. |
00:50 |
mircea_popescu |
course it doesnt live long |
00:50 |

that was the point of the 'cold war shelter' - live in a box until the really hot stuff rots away and then come out in relative safety |

heh yeah that too |
00:51 |

yeah, more wash than decay really. |
00:51 |
asciilifeform |
not 'too' - mostly. |
00:51 |
decimation |
I would believe that. The main problem is gonna be stuff that gets taken up in plants over the long term |
00:51 |
asciilifeform |
the ~30yr. half lives of sr-90 and cs-137 are just that |
00:51 |
asciilifeform |
half-lives. |
00:51 |
asciilifeform |
not one-$maxint-th lives. |
00:52 |
mircea_popescu |
but anyway, for living things the problem is mostly their own metabolism. radioactive iodine is not distinguished from plain iodine ends up in endocrine system. strontium is, as far as the body is concerned, perfectly good calcium. so on. |
00:52 |
decimation |
indeed. |

9 hours later we'd made homemade mayo, lasagna from scratch, a full shoulder of pulled pork, fresh ravioli, pan-seared cod... |
09:32 |
mircea_popescu |
it's not so hard really. |
09:32 |

but lasagna takes more than nine hours. |
09:32 |

09:34 |

generally you hit a moose, it ends up in your lap |
09:34 |
kakobrekla |
does moose taste similar to deer? |
09:34 |
nubbins` |
never tried deer |
09:34 |
mircea_popescu |
kakobrekla nah, similar to bison. |
09:34 |
nubbins` |
moose is like a spicy/stringy beef |
09:35 |
kakobrekla |
never had bison or moose. had deer many times. |
09:35 |

09:37 |
mircea_popescu |
ok ok, horse works. cow -> moose is about the same amplitude as chicken -> horse |
09:37 |

not so. there's a very vibrant music scene here locally as well as nationally. i can listen to this country's best music without ever listening to anything that's signed to a major label |
10:45 |
thickasthieves |
yknow in america, things really are less logical than you guys realize |
10:45 |
mircea_popescu |
nubbins` exactly my point. |
10:46 |
nubbins` |
"music as a product" and "music actual humans with taste listen to" are two completely different things |
10:46 |
thickasthieves |
people pay $10/m to like 3 streaming services just cuz it's affordable and convenient and fuckit |
10:46 |
mircea_popescu |
thickasthieves notrly. they only appear to be, to the people captive. |
10:46 |

this harkens back to the discussion about art we had some time ago |
10:46 |

thickasthieves but they pay TO THE SERVICES |
10:46 |

people want to capitalize the M, make it Music (tm) instead of music |

the "artists" get jack, and the idea that they're selling anything is ludicrous |
10:46 |
thickasthieves |
i wasnt proposing solving the slavery issue of artists |
10:47 |
nubbins` |
protip: artists don't make money selling music, they make money doing everything else related to it but that |
10:47 |
mircea_popescu |
thickasthieves you sounded like you were, at least to me. |
10:47 |
nubbins` |
there's a reason leonard cohen's t-shirts cost more than his albums |
10:47 |

i was proposing the service to bitcoinize and decentralization control of purchased music |

1TB hard drives not cheap enough for ya? |

the higher bandwidth necessary to run a full node over time T will force the centralization of nodes |

okay, sure. seems like a fair assumption |

i've been sitting on 50mbit for a couple years now |
14:34 |

this is not unusual for a first-world country, is it? |
14:34 |
thestringpuller |
it is |
14:34 |
thestringpuller |
US average bandwidth is 10Mbit |
14:34 |

note that usa is not a first world country |
14:34 |
thestringpuller |
OKAY |
14:35 |
nubbins` |
this is not unusual for a first-world country, is it? |
14:35 |
thestringpuller |
I'll give you that |
14:35 |
nubbins` |
how much bandwidth does a full node chew right now? |
14:35 |
thestringpuller |
So you want to centralize all the full nodes to first world countries? |
14:35 |
nubbins` |
thestringpuller: you want to stop it? |
14:35 |
nubbins` |
o noes, somalia can't run a full node |
14:36 |
go1111111 |
thestringpuller: Bitcoin still could be extremely decentralized if full nodes were limited to 1st world countries |
14:36 |
nubbins` |
^ |
14:36 |
thestringpuller |
very possibly, but that still doesn't solve the issue of forcing more burden on the full nodes. |
14:37 |
thestringpuller |
starting a full node as of now isn't trivial. ask BingoBoingo how long it took to start one from scratch as of this summer. |
14:38 |
nubbins` |
BingoBoingo, how long did it take you to start a node from scratch as of this summer? |
14:38 |
go1111111 |
most of the burden now is that it's very cumbersome, not that the resources required are expensive |
14:38 |
go1111111 |
that's a software issue |
14:38 |
nubbins` |
so to run a full node, you'd be expected to dick around with software a little bit and have a first-world internet connection |
14:38 |
nubbins` |
imagine, the horror |
14:39 |
chetty |
internet is pretty darn good most places, only place I ever had much of an issue the deserts of Egypt |
14:40 |
nubbins` |
so there goes that argument |
14:40 |
nubbins` |
why precisely are we whining about block size? |
14:41 |
Apocalyptic |
nubbins`, you're actually in favour of the increase ? |
14:41 |
thestringpuller |
i'm almost certain if you increase the blocksize to great too soon, full nodes will drop off... |
14:41 |
nubbins` |
Apocalyptic i'm trying to figure out why everyone has their dicks in a knot about it. nobody seems to know. |
14:41 |
thestringpuller |
just like when diff goes too high miners drop off |
14:41 |
nubbins` |
no, when diff goes high miners upgrade |
14:41 |
thestringpuller |
not always! |
14:42 |
nubbins` |
children with mining hardware drop off |
14:42 |
thestringpuller |
they are the first but not the last |
14:42 |
nubbins` |
why in the fuck would someone turn off their node over a block size increase? |
14:43 |
nubbins` |
it doesn't make sensr |
14:43 |
thestringpuller |
because it consumes too many resources as is. |
14:43 |
nubbins` |
"my cpu, disk space, bandwidth are still orders of magnitude more than what this requires... better pull the plug over ideological reasons" |
14:43 |
nubbins` |
bullshit it does |
14:43 |
Apocalyptic |
for one it removes the upper linear bound on the storage space needed to store the whole chain |
14:44 |
thestringpuller |
my full node runs on a computer circa 2004, it barely can chug. |
14:44 |
thestringpuller |
lets take a look at top and see what bitcoind is consuming |
14:44 |
thestringpuller |
oh wow 2 gigs of memory |
14:44 |
go1111111 |
so you're saying it's more like "I'm going to stop mining now because maybe in 10 years mining will be unprofitable, depending on the trajectory of computer resource costs" |
14:45 |
go1111111 |
mining = running a full node, i mean |
14:45 |
Apocalyptic |
nubbins`, the blocksize limit also incudes a lot of economic consequences regarding transactions and fees |
14:47 |
thestringpuller |
go1111111: well. consider you are mining now at negative profit margins because diff is too high. You can upgrade and go further into the hole and hope to god you make your money back. Or you can cut your losses and move on with your life. |
14:48 |
go1111111 |
smaller blocksizes tend to increase the fee required to get in a block. lower fees seem preferable. the only case i can see where you wouldn't want smaller fees is when network security was based heavily on fees, but that won't be the case for a while |
14:49 |
thestringpuller |
again if you want nice things you need to pay for them... |
14:49 |
Apocalyptic |
^ |
14:49 |
thestringpuller |
what is all this socialist shit..."free stuff I didn't work for" |
14:50 |
nubbins` |
"poor people should be able to run a node" |
14:50 |
thestringpuller |
I never said that! |
14:50 |
nubbins` |
nobody did :D |
14:50 |
go1111111 |
the problem is that having small blocksizes and high fees doesn't actually make anything nicer for anyone. that's what nubbins and I have been arguing. the extra "niceness" you want is a trivial savings in abundant computer resources |
14:51 |
nubbins` |
maybe you need a computer that was built after 2004 if you want to run a node |
14:51 |
nubbins` |
it's not a lot to ask |
14:51 |
thestringpuller |
It isn't. But when does it stop? |
14:51 |
nubbins` |
it doesn't |
14:51 |
thestringpuller |
Then we need computers build specifically for full nodes? |
14:51 |
nubbins` |
eventually |
14:51 |
thestringpuller |
Then only certain individuals can run full nodes? |
14:51 |
nubbins` |
already this is the case |
14:52 |
thestringpuller |
For mining perhaps (capital expenditure) but not for full nodes, which is a more frightening scenario... |
14:52 |
nubbins` |
yes, for full nodes. do you have any idea how many people in the world don't have a "spare computer"? |
14:53 |
thestringpuller |
as of now you can run a full node on a raspberry pi with a 30 USD external storage medium |
14:53 |
nubbins` |
and eventually you'll need a raspberry pi 2.0 with a 30 usd external storage medium that has 2x the capacity |
14:54 |
thestringpuller |
yes but if the block size increases too rapidly eventually only certain hardware can run it. |
14:54 |
nubbins` |
so? |
14:54 |
thestringpuller |
this forces centralization no? |
14:54 |
* |
nubbins` groans |
14:55 |
thestringpuller |
:D |
14:55 |
go1111111 |
thestringpuller: not if that special hardware is always below a certain cost threshold |
14:55 |
nubbins` |
"centralization", what does it mean? can you quantify it? |
14:56 |
nubbins` |
"decentralization bad, centralization good" |
14:56 |
nubbins` |
"analog bad, digital good... or was it the other way.." |
14:56 |
thestringpuller |
centralization = "full nodes controlled by single entities" |
14:56 |
nubbins` |
there needs to be a minimum, yes? an abacus is infeasible? |
14:56 |
thestringpuller |
exactly. |
14:56 |
nubbins` |
so what's the minimum? |
14:57 |
nubbins` |
a piece of shit computer you can find in a junkyard? |
14:57 |
thestringpuller |
minimum in terms of nodes running is what I'm getting at. |
14:57 |
nubbins` |
yeah, let's put the brakes on everything so you can help "contribute" |
14:57 |
nubbins` |
is a 1ghz pentium too much of a burden? |
14:57 |
thestringpuller |
XD |
14:58 |
nubbins` |
you see what i'm saying? a couple years from now you'll buy an octo-core w/ 32gb ram for $500 |
14:58 |

14:58 |

well you can scale nodes anyway |
14:59 |

maybe we should make it so a TI-83 can run a full node |

"Seeing how the earlier discussion actually neglected to mention a perfectly valid alternative avenue to evaluate the idiocy of this proposal, consider that the main (really, in practical terms the only) vulnerability of Bitcoin at the moment is that while miners are rewarded for mining, relayers are not rewarded for relaying.

USGavin's proposal consists of significantly increasing the burden on the full nodes, while doing nothing to address the actual problem threatening Bitcoin.

go1111111 yes, you say "is used" meaning "is used to denote". but the two different things it's used to denote aren't unrelated. they're just facets of the same phenomeno. |

asciilifeform like a canary of sorts ? |
22:56 |
asciilifeform |
sorta. |
22:57 |
asciilifeform |
why i even mention it? because it's an example of a device that loudly, proudly, pisses on the usb spec (spirit and letter thereof) but is tolerated because for most people - it appears harmless. |
22:58 |
asciilifeform |
but build a system where it isn't milked (usb pipe with non-null payloads kept going) and drown in shit. |
23:00 |
asciilifeform |
and incidentally, i know just how the author arrived at this - he probably used the 'watchdog' feature of the micro which implements the device |
23:00 |
asciilifeform |
i.e., register that cycles its power if not updated every x msec. |
23:00 |
asciilifeform |
and only updated guess where - interrupt handler (that's only entered if os is using the digitizer, naturally) |
23:01 |

i don't even have to disassemble the beast, extract the fw, and reverse it to have a pretty solid guess |

moral: turdware is everywhere |

moral2: 'crashes as response to unexpected inputs - incl. lack of input - are ok' attitude is a plague that corrupts everything it touches. |

moral3: it is contagious. because it is impossible to implement a sane os which handles this insane device and adds up to sanity. |
23:04 |

the converse, the expectation that everything is s upported, is insane. |

23:05 |

you can't install airplane flaps on your car. somehow this is perfectly comprehensible. why should you be able to use a noncompliant usb stick ? |

when you turn up one of these pieces of junk, on your desk, or worse yet, chained to it (yes, you bought one set - can buy another, what'll the crapolade be in the next gadget?) - it happens because other folks - lived with it. |

because someone decided to be 'tolerant.' |
