The actual number of troll bastards is vanishingly tiny. Well that's about what we've seen around here.

ZZZzzz…] 02:11 < Emcy> the what now 02:12 < midnight> Emcy: I'm most intrigued by well-modelled intelligence and cleverness. Not Sherlock holmes (which has a weird sort of "surprise it was the tiny speck of dust you didn't notice before and we didn't give you any time to think about anyway") style but actual motivations and people working each other out a little to understand what's going on. 02:15 < midnight> Other people visibly feeding information which turns into a pivotal decision-point, or historical events described in the story which have strong perturbations on future plot. 02:15 < midnight> Really like that. It's something a lot of shows basically totally and completely lack. But it's so easy to write it that way, it seems to me, that there's no excuse for it. So even more disappointing. 02:16 < Emcy> most shows like to have very compartmentalised episodes within the framework of some overarching theme or conceit, for pragmatic reasons 02:17 < Emcy> which doesnt lend itself amazingly well for world building 02:17 < midnight> gmaxwell: Thinking about it, I think a large part of the effectiveness described in that paper is Reddit-specific. Like.. you can't stop new users from joining without destroying your community, but new users can't really be discerned from old by moderators, since the admins are totally unhelpful in correlating users for their subreddit community. 02:17 < midnight> Emcy: No it sure doesn't. 02:17 < Emcy> sometimes shows have the balls to really make a connected narrative, but it increases the chance that they might fail if viewers drop out or even miss 1 espisode, which is what happened to Expanse the first time 02:17 < midnight> That DrWhax ^^ up there is a journo btw. 02:18 < Emcy> not many shows can run a fully connected narrative for years 02:18 < midnight> Emcy: Expanse was a failure because people couldn't rewind. But digital delivery has fixed that mostly, so even less of an excuse I would think. 02:18 < midnight> It was originally syfy wasn't it? 02:19 < Emcy> yes which is how its fine since amazon licked it up 02:19 < Emcy> picked* 02:19 < midnight> Don't watch cable anymore.. 02:19 < midnight> no sense. 02:19 < midnight> Emcy, gmaxwell: DrWhax, up there, who had a ping time out is a journalist of some sort. 02:20 < Emcy> theres also a risk that you spend years building up a narrative that you just have no chance to wrap up in a way that does it all justice, then you end up with a game of thrones scenario.... 02:20 < Emcy> only the best can wrap a continuous narrative show up properly, and sometimes you get a breaking bad.... 02:20 < midnight> "Author gets mired in own narratives. Other authors stand carefully back and wait for explosion, making mild noises of sympathy." 02:21 < midnight> Emcy: I think there the viewpoint became too grand. Don't zoom out. Let the stuff happen in the background. :( 02:21 < Emcy> but anyway 50% of this trouble would go away if they stopped letting alex kurzman produce so many god damn shows 02:21 < midnight> Who's that now. 02:22 < midnight> Aw god, look at that huge long series of trainwrecks. 02:22 < gmaxwell> 09:56 < midnight> :-C So going in there and wrecking the attackers does, in fact, have n observed protective effect in other communities. 02:23 < gmaxwell> thats why I linked to it. 02:23 < midnight> Hey! That's one of the assholes that ruined Star Trek! 02:23 < gmaxwell> also notice the graphs ... e.g. multiple defenders being more successful 02:24 < midnight> gmaxwell: It seems maybe it might be an artifact of reddit's "can't close the door" policy. I wonder if it were applied to something like IRC, whether careful community isolation, or rabid freak-outs consuming screen space are more effective. 02:24 < gmaxwell> well most people won't engage in a debate where they're outnumbered. 02:24 < Emcy> gmaxwell i mean 'dont get surrounded' is good advice for a irl throwdown too 02:25 < midnight> Unless you have light sabers in each hand. 02:25 < midnight> Then it's: "Get surrounded as much as possible, and make big wide swings." 02:25 < gmaxwell> on reddit mods can remove disrupters. 02:25 < midnight> Yeah but they can just come back as socks. 02:25 < gmaxwell> midnight: thats what I'll tell people my reddit strategy was. 02:25 < midnight> LOL 02:26 < midnight> General Grievance 02:26 < midnight> "He frowns a lot, but it's frowns of love." 02:26 < Emcy> midnight what makes you say drwhax is a journo? what kind of journo 02:27 < midnight> Emcy: I've been looking a little closer at the user list in here to pick out Ye Olde Douchebag (you know the one), and I discovered him.

Perhaps someone will one day invent a constant size accumulator with no trusted setup but I'm not aware of any. I believe any that exist would have complicated tradeoffs (e.g. you'd still have to inspect the whole history just to track your own coins so you could produce proofs) 04:07 < gmaxwell> It's also fair for monero people to respond that the key images are relatively small compared to the txns themselves esp now that they have confidential values. 04:07 < waxwing> gmaxwell, what do you think about utreexo? it's kind of the same general area right. 04:07 < waxwing> yeah true today it's not an issue, more about future. 04:08 < gmaxwell> I think it's likely making the wrong tradeoff... bandwidth is the slowest growing of the varrious computer scaling 'laws'-- so exchanging bandwidth for local fast storage is probably not a win. 04:08 < gmaxwell> Maybe for *some* uses-- e.g. run a node on a datacenter hosted low storage/ram VPS, it is, however. 04:09 < gmaxwell> waxwing: for monero, dunno if you've synced a node but it basically takes a longer than it takes to sync bitcoin, on very fast hardware, in spite of having a tiny fraction of the total txns. 04:09 < gmaxwell> unrelated, this is a great visualization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18m0bKsVb0Y 04:10 -!- davterra [~davterra@86.106.143.148] has joined #lnd 04:10 < waxwing> interesting. but apart from caveats, the question to me is "can you avoid O(n) scaling", seems to me a transparent btc like blockchain can and a ring sig blockchain can't. 04:11 -!- davterra [~davterra@86.106.143.148] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 04:11 -!- davterra [~davterra@86.106.143.148] has joined #lnd 04:11 < waxwing> video: wow! had no idea there was such a thing, very cool. 04:12 < gmaxwell> In general, privacy gets in your way because if your outputs are going to be uniformly selected out of N outputs, you have to have had access to the N outputs. 04:13 < waxwing> yeah but i think that can be obfuscated quite a lot. the main issue seems to be double spend protection. 04:13 < waxwing> that's what causes the key image retention problem, which is distinct from the spontaneous ring formation, less of an issue 04:14 < waxwing> 'had no idea there was such a thing' - because there wasn't, it's 4 days old lol. 04:14 < waxwing> and unlisted. is that shareable? 04:14 < gmaxwell> waxwing: monero (like things) could make privacy tradeoffs that mitigated the issue, for example, binned coins into ages... and you expose which ages you're spending from, and where spending from older ages is more expensive, and you use a hash tree commitment thing to track the spent coins. 04:14 < gmaxwell> waxwing: I think so: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/kd28z4/i_created_an_image_of_bitcoins_utxo_set/gg4r2rb/?context=3 04:15 < gmaxwell> He's been trying to get a 4k version uploaded. 04:15 < waxwing> oh i see got it re: reddit link. re: tradeoff, yes, that makes sense. you see that paradigm mentioned a lot with these obfuscated designs: we just wall off ancient history. 04:16 < waxwing> it's a fairly meaningful degradation, but for sure it could work. 04:16 -!- bitdex [~bitdex@gateway/tor-sasl/bitdex] has quit [Quit: = ""] 04:16 < gmaxwell> waxwing: I mean even zcash has done something like that ... because their older history is potentially insecure. 04:16 < gmaxwell> last one out eats the inflation as loss 04:17 < waxwing> didn't they have a "turnstile" or something? 04:17 < waxwing> has everyone left the crowded theater after fire was yelled? :) 04:17 -!- davterra [~davterra@86.106.143.148] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 04:19 < gmaxwell> presumably because of lost keys --- no. 04:28 -!- lesless [~lessless@obligatory.vehicle.volia.net] has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep.

For mining, it's the space on the blockchain that is the cost. 06:53 < belcher> yep 06:53 < belcher> fee/amount makes small payments cheaper, absolute fee makes large payments cheaper.. so its a nice complement 06:54 < Veggen> belcher: on my LN node, I have decreased the base fee but increased the fee rate. I think it's only fair to count my fees in 10s of satoshis if I forward tx's of millions of satoshi. 06:57 < waxwing> interesting analogy: swift transfers (large international wires) have traditionally been flat fee, not percent of amount, and retail payment apps/cards are all percent of amount 06:57 < waxwing> i mean i wouldn't stretch it too far but it's fun to notice a vague parallel 06:58 < belcher> yep agreed, and for the same kind of reason maybe 06:58 < belcher> the costs of swift is moving a few papers around, maybe a phonecall... which costs the same regardless of the number 06:59 < belcher> visa/cards presumably put % fee because they judge its the best way to earn the most revenue? 07:05 -!- dionysus69 [~Thunderbi@unaffiliated/dionysus69] has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 07:31 < Emcy> midnight did you ever see planetside arena 07:31 < Emcy> i just found a 30 min video i took of it from the alpha [which it never progressed from] 07:32 < Emcy> its cell shaded >.< 07:46 -!- dionysus69 [~Thunderbi@unaffiliated/dionysus69] has joined #bitcoin-forks 07:47 -!- lesless [~lessless@obligatory.vehicle.volia.net] has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep.

These contracts grow in size as more conditional payments are pending, and so the total number of pending payments is limited by transaction sizes that can be placed on the blockchain. 19:40 < queip> https://medium.com/blockchains-huji/congestion-attacks-in-payment-channel-networks-b7ac37208389 19:40 < queip> is this real or fud 19:42 < Emcy> huh 19:42 < Emcy> you only need to commit the final balance, thats the point 19:43 < Emcy> i dont think any part of a channel contains or records the full history of the channel? why would it need to 19:44 < queip> that was my intuition, how ever Im reading 19:44 < Emcy> https://mempool.space pretty chucnky mempool going on rn 19:44 < Emcy> i smell fomo 19:47 < Emcy> i wish it show how much total fees are proffered in the mempool currently 19:49 < Emcy> well if you click the pending blocks it does, highest priority block template has 1.75btc fees, pretty nice 19:49 < queip> imagine that 19:49 < queip> a solid chunker of a gold bar, for making 1 bitcoin block 19:50 < Emcy> well it costs nearly the same on average to make the block 19:52 < Emcy> https://files.catbox.moe/xzvava.jpg for some people price is no consideration 19:53 < Emcy> i wonder who needs a tx confirmed so badly they pay 10,000sat/vb 19:53 < Emcy> degenerate day traders perhaps 19:54 < Emcy> shoulda used liquid or something 20:02 -!- kristapsk [~KK@gateway/tor-sasl/kristapsk] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 20:08 < DeanGuss> let's assume it's an accident...

Lotta people holding a grudge against Shimomura even like 20 years after he wrecked their hero. :-/ 21:54 < midnight> Pretending to be him on twitter; injecting his name in obscure news stories. 21:54 < midnight> Messed up man. 21:56 < Emcy> whom 21:57 < midnight> Whom what? 21:57 < midnight> Who's pretending to be him on twitter? 21:58 < midnight> https://twitter.com/Shimo7even this guy. 21:58 < midnight> I'm sure it's in an ironic or mocking sort of way or whatever but still. 21:59 < midnight> You ever watch kevin mitnick's online sessions which were recorded, with timing info, as they happened..? 22:00 < Emcy> who is shiomura 22:02 < midnight> Shimomura is the (former?) SDSC physicist whose computers Kevin Mitnick broke into and who then kind of irritatedly spent an ungodly amount of time and effort tracking Mitnick down carefully after that, ultimately finding him via directional cell frequency counters (I think) and getting him arrested by the FBI. 22:02 < midnight> Tsutomu Shimomura. 22:03 < midnight> Buddy kind of dropped off the net. No twitter, no websites, no real press about him post-2016. 22:04 < Emcy> well 22:05 < Emcy> im sure they could have a beer and laugh about it now 22:05 < midnight> He appeared briefly in Hackers 2: Takedown as one of Skeet Ulrich's (who was playing Kevin Mitnick) buddies who were heckling the Tsutomu character. 22:05 < midnight> Mitnick still comments about how Tsutomu's actions were "illegal" and remain unpunished. 22:06 < midnight> Mitnick recently commented about John Barlow dying, who by Mitnick's assertion is the one who asked Shimomura to help with Mitnick. 22:06 < midnight> Well. Two years ago recently. 22:06 < midnight> https://twitter.com/kevinmitnick/status/961412891856392194 22:08 < Emcy> well he was a bid of a lad back then so he cant really complain 22:08 < Emcy> a bit of a boy 22:09 < midnight> Just a typical arrogant can't-catch-me script kiddy who was fed high-end exploits by someone in Israel. 22:09 < Emcy> he done his bid and now he makes famous consultant money 22:09 < midnight> You can see him talking to the guy in the sessions. 22:13 < midnight> Via UNIX talk. Dunno if you ever used that before, but it was pretty awesome. 22:14 < Emcy> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CopszKYWYAQbIdg?format=jpg&name=orig 22:14 < Entitlement> Emcy - [ jpeg (931 x 698) ] 22:15 < midnight> yeh that's the team the impersonator self-associated with 22:17 < Emcy> >Sony removes Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store and offers refunds to customers 22:17 < Emcy> rekt 22:23 < queip> they deserve it 22:23 < queip> AI/behaviour of police was better 20 years ago in GTA 2 22:25 < queip> they also took ~7,000,000$ of my and fellow countryman taxpayer money to "Create an advanced life virtual city [in the game]" which is equally terrible 22:26 < midnight> eh. I'm not going to go for the refund. 22:34 < Emcy> so all the reviewers could have mentioned something about how the game is barely functional on consoles 22:35 < Emcy> instead they spent all their efforts whining about the dickgirl poster 22:35 < Emcy> this is one of the worst journalistic failures to come out of game reviewing in a long time 22:35 < midnight> That's true. 22:36 < midnight> It is barely (but not really) playable on lastgen consoles. 22:36 < midnight> The play quality is basically totally broken. 22:36 < Emcy> not a huge surprise really, those people ARE journalistic failures. Thats why theyre writing about stupid videogames, and not writing for washington post or whatever. 22:36 < Emcy> theres a reason theyre nasty and bitter 22:39 < queip> Emcy: well, reviewers were embargoed. CD project red become typical evil corporation now 22:39 < queip> no reviewer at all was allowed to post footage they recorded. and none was given non-PC version or something 22:40 < Emcy> embargoes arent a magic spell. If the product literally does not work, perhaps stop being a coward 'journalist' and tell people 22:41 < Emcy> instead of shit stirring about your pet social theory crap which no one asked your opinion on 22:41 < Emcy> cowards all 22:43 < queip> again, no one had the console version outside of developers 22:43 < queip> not sure tho how no one leaked the AI is shit 22:50 < queip> remember kids. NO. PREORDERS. not even if Keanu plays a role in it. 22:51 < Emcy> i have no idea why anyone would preorder a game now 22:52 < queip> I have to admit, I considered it a for moment. Mostly to support the cause kind of. New polish kind of Deus Ex, from Witcher devels? where do I sign 22:52 < queip> boy was I wrong on every level to think that :PPP 23:01 -!- kristapsk [~KK@gateway/tor-sasl/kristapsk] has joined #lnd 23:13 < Emcy> ;;tlast 23:13 <@gribble> 22912.69 23:13 -!- EagleTM [~EagleTM@unaffiliated/eagletm] has joined #bitcoin-forks 23:13 -!- EagleTM [~EagleTM@unaffiliated/eagletm] has joined #lnd 23:13 -!- Eagle[TM] [~EagleTM@unaffiliated/eagletm] has joined #bitcoin-forks 23:13 -!- Eagle[TM] [~EagleTM@unaffiliated/eagletm] has joined #lnd 23:14 -!- Eagle[TM] [~EagleTM@unaffiliated/eagletm] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 23:14 -!- Eagle[TM] [~EagleTM@unaffiliated/eagletm] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 23:17 -!- EagleTM [~EagleTM@unaffiliated/eagletm] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds] 23:17 -!- EagleTM [~EagleTM@unaffiliated/eagletm] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds] 23:39 -!- DeanGuss [~dean@gateway/tor-sasl/deanguss] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 23:39 -!- DeanGuss [~dean@gateway/tor-sasl/deanguss] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 23:59 -!- AaronvanW [~AaronvanW@unaffiliated/aaronvanw] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] --- Log closed Fri Dec 18 00:00:52 2020
