pete_dushenski |
were you importing into wallets that already had a balance ? just trying to understand the boundaries of this phenomenon |
| 00:41 |
trinque |
it may be limited to the sendmany RPC; that's what I'm using |
| 00:43 |
trinque |
did this to have exact control over what fee is sent |
| 00:43 |
trinque |
I also had to lower a constant which didn't seem worth its own vpatch |
| 00:44 |
pete_dushenski |
trinque: have you tried 'sendtoaddress' as well ? |
| 00:47 |
trinque |
I haven't. doesn't that send change back to some other address which is part of the "account" ? |
| 00:48 |
pete_dushenski |
i believe so |
| 00:48 |
trinque |
yeah, I want the change coming right back to the deed address, so I use sendmany and explicitly state the change |
| 00:49 |
pete_dushenski |
that makes sense |
| 00:49 |
trinque |
then the balance goes to -0.0002 (fee + deed spend) so I smell a floating point fuckup |

and it just stays like that indefinitely, but still allows for further spending ? |

the problem with loving go, like "loving science", like generally all sorts of investments of the self children are forced into, is that they end up importing "the people". |

this is a major problem, at least to my eyes. it was just as large, if not nearly as expressible, before the age of bitcoin. by which, to be perfectly specific, i do not mean satoshi crapolade. i mean bitcoinb as in tmsr, and wot and ba and such. |

(en passant : solution 3 is readily apparent, and it begins with selectively beating your children - the runts to death ; and then continuing in this manner. and there's plenty more.) |

thestringpuller: there were once two schools of thought re: how to do 'ai' |
| |
↖ |
| 11:20 |
asciilifeform |
one, typified by d. lenat's proggy 'eurisko' (see logs, i posted his s333kr1t paperz once) was of the sane sort |
| 11:20 |
asciilifeform |
i.e. attempting to get to the bottom of what thought process ~is~, in a meaningful way |
| 11:20 |
asciilifeform |
other - brute force, or sometimes 'meat emulation' |
| 11:21 |
asciilifeform |
typified by 'connectionism' (nn) and 'machine learning' (elaborate application of statistical heuristics) |
| 11:21 |
asciilifeform |
but neither admitting any element of euriskoism |
| 11:22 |
asciilifeform |
so you get a box that sorta, most of the time, does X, but 1) sometimes fails spectacularly for no apparent reason, as if 'alive' and 2) teaches the builder ~absolutely nothing~ useful about X |

mircea_popescu: the root of the matter is an elementary thing. google et al are deeply disinterested in cognition etc. but are paid for specific thing - solving the problem of usg needing an automated gestapo. |

asciilifeform: perhaps different outlook, knowing you can't emulate human mind on current machines. perhaps the only way to "true AI" is some cyborg thing of a brain plugged up to machinery... |
| 12:53 |
mircea_popescu |
a young consumation girl [ie, whore], otherwise clever and vivacious, receiving some caviar aside the mug of vodka, proceeded to explain some matters t ome. |
| 12:54 |
mircea_popescu |
specifically, that these black roe, large and soft as were put before her, are evidently inferior to true black roe, as she always gets at [we're skipping this, lest we shame the third party]. which are small, much, much smaller, needle sized, and tough, so you can crack them in your teeth. |
| 12:55 |
mircea_popescu |
working by analogy with the fruits in the marketr stall, or perhaps even herself and her sisters, her ladyship figured such : what is good is tough and rocky, what's overripe, soft, unrestrained in the belts of rubbery skin is obviously iunferior. |
| 12:56 |

mircea_popescu |
let the beluga take its unfortunate form emergently to mr doctor X, so as to receive bookend implants. |
| 12:56 |
thestringpuller |
asciilifeform: the current crud exists just as alchemy once existed, you expect alchemist to understand modern chemistry? |
| 12:57 |

| 12:57 |
thestringpuller |
since not being a chemist that is a blurry line |
| 12:58 |
mircea_popescu |
traditionally, lavoisier, i suppose. but mind that many people understood what you call chemistry long before the 1600s, and similarly an interest in alchemy survived long after. |
| 12:59 |
asciilifeform |

hey, i still read it. |
| 13:00 |
asciilifeform |
i meant, live interest, vs archaeological. |
| 13:00 |
mircea_popescu |
i thought it revolved around understanding. |

or does mircea_popescu read it to learn how to actually produce philosopher's stone. |

mircea_popescu |
no, but i daresay i understand at least parts of it. |

asciilifeform |
it certainly added up to a coherent whole, at least once you cut away the obscurantist armour. |

speaking of ancient arcana - who even noticed that the soviet ideas of central planning are a direct calc copy off the way turkish empire ran ? |
| 13:03 |
mircea_popescu |
dandians, duzians, twas a thing. |
| 13:03 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: not really, no. turks, at least at their height, quite solidly had 'fuhrerprinzip' - all officials, incl. vizir, personal slaves of sultan. |
| 13:04 |
mircea_popescu |
as theory. this theory had lain fallow since suleyman. |
| 13:04 |
mircea_popescu |
and for that matter - all soviets, personal slaves of stalin. |
| 13:05 |
asciilifeform |
as far as i can tell, turks carried on a healthy, 'asiatic' sort of unbureaucratized barbarism for quite some time - witness how well they got on, for how long, without banks, for instance |
| 13:05 |
mircea_popescu |
and since i mentioned the armenian genocide - the experience of erryday life among this lower class in the very wot-driven turkish empire quite exactly maps what i expect to be the lot of the keyless in the not-so-distant future. |
| 13:05 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform twas deeply bureaucratic. the ENGLISH thought them overbureaucratized. |

after they hastily copied euros |
| 13:06 |
asciilifeform |
(venetian bank, french army, etc) |
| 13:06 |
mircea_popescu |
not so hastily, no. they only started copying under the last sultan, after russian defeat. |

| 13:08 |
mircea_popescu |
we didn't know that "surrender" would be an acceptable end. |
| 13:08 |

| 13:09 |
asciilifeform |
almost all do. |

you want to maximize its exposure. no conceivable reason to ever quit. |

the argument is there. not particularly strong. also note that the bar for bitbet arguments is crazy low. we've seen absurdities argued the likes of which would scare a highschool teacher. |
| 13:10 |
mircea_popescu |
but none of this changes that... the argument IS there. |
| 13:10 |
asciilifeform |
sure. |
| 13:10 |
asciilifeform |
also if lee sedol is not thinking about the 'maximize exposure' thing right now, he'd have to be a fool |

fact is, fraud is traditionally inseparable from this sort of central event |
| 13:11 |
asciilifeform |
but the 'end by resign' thing is taught to the pros in childhood, flashed into their bios, so to speak |
| 13:11 |
mircea_popescu |

| 13:11 |
asciilifeform |

| 13:12 |
asciilifeform |
though it was abundantly appropriate |
| 13:13 |
asciilifeform |
somewhat relatedly, my understanding of the history of go, is that match fraud was historically a rarity |
| 13:13 |
mircea_popescu |
yes, and peasants playing also never heard of. |
| 13:13 |
asciilifeform |
because, partly, the game attracted the very highest caliber of human. |
| 13:14 |
asciilifeform |
but also that a thrown match was almost impossible to conceal from expert eye |
| 13:14 |
asciilifeform |
to convincingly throw, would take at least the same skill as to win. |
| 13:14 |
asciilifeform |
and the incentives were such that the players would rather win. |
| 13:15 |

it is/was a wot game. |

asciilifeform there's very little to be explained, so far. "the brain consists of a varying set of individual cells, in the billions, which have a number of internal states that have not yet been enumerated either in the collective or reliably individual cases, which connect to other cells through a process they apparently to some degree control but is not otherwise understood, forming patters that are not meaningfully |

the general complexity of the cell is perhaps the chief lie of popular conception of biology. "oh yeah, nucleus, cytoplasm, yeah i recall". you recall my left foot. golgi apparatus. a whole set of vacuoles. the nucleus has a membrane in layers. there's dozens of different items in there we don't even fully enumerate - and your understanding isn't good enough to stand for the mithocondria, which, incidentally, also has |

a while back, yeah. don't think it worked out too well in the end. |
| 18:34 |
mircea_popescu |
possibly not much demand. |
| 18:34 |
fluffypony |
yeah |

I worked for him for a little over a year, he stopped paying me, now I hear he's taking web dev work and telling clients I'm working on their projects...I quit back in December and have no knowledge of said projects |
| 18:35 |
mircea_popescu |
is this basically one of those freelancer coder teams thing ? |
| 18:35 |
Azelphur |
something like that, only minus the team I guess? |

fluffypony tbh i did spend some time thinking about it - then. i don't see how what he was trying to do could have worked. why the everloving would someone here eschew the benefit of the wot and "hire someone to hire" for you ? |

yeah, seemed a colossal waste of time in the end |
| 18:44 |
mircea_popescu |
pretty much the only way he could have made economic sense was by marketing the spare cycles of well connected people here - outside. |
| |

| 18:44 |
mircea_popescu |
that seems workable on the surface - until you realise that the one thing being here promises is that those people won't generally WANT to work for $cubefarm. |

mircea_popescu |
i suppose to be cracked the same way all of them get cracked - guy with immense downlist and very well connected gets off his lazy, stupid fiat-ass and goes through the wot selection process. then has enough spots specific and high level enough to interest the locals. seems a tall order. |
