kanzure"This argument and explanation is constantly coming up on the subreddit askscience. I don't violently oppose it as much as some do, since I think it's somewhat helpful, but I would like to say that my preferred interpretation is that a `photon' isn't really a well defined object when inside strongly-coupled materials. For example, can you really sensibly talk about a freely propagating radio wave when its still within a quarter wavelength of ...07:38
kanzure... an antenna? When atoms are spaced tenths of a nanometre apart and visible light has a wavelength of hundreds of nanometres it seems a bit silly to talk about it propagating freely in a material."07:38
kanzure"When you go through quantum field theory, photons are defined in terms of freely propagating particles, not interacting with other fields. When the disturbance in the EM field propagates into, e.g. a dielectric material, and strongly couples to various nuclear and electronic excitations, it is better described in terms of a massive quasiparticle, the polariton, which is a hybrid of the photon, phonon and electron fields and, being massive, ...07:38
kanzure... propagates at less than c. You can, of course, describe it in terms of perturbations to the free photon corresponding to various types of virtual absorption and re-emission, but it's a bit misleading to think of it being physically absorbed and re-emitted with little stopovers. If anything, the classical model of a continuously interacting medium interacting with the EM wave creating a coherent response wave which interferes with and ...07:38
kanzure... appears to slow down the EM wave is more instructive."07:38

kanzurealso, if darpa's goal is really "the top-level goal of avm is to compress the development timelines for military systems by 5x-10x" it occurs to me that a sane thing to do would be to measure the current bottlenecks in large-scale engineering projects16:29
kanzureand since you don't know the bottlenecks you can safely just measure everything for not much cost16:29

kanzurebbrittain: what are they if not square21:48
bbrittainrandom stuff gets funded when you have infinite money and don't understand the technology21:48
bbrittainkanzure: rectangles21:48
kanzureyeah i'm just amazed they have like zero due diligence there21:49
bbrittainalso see glowing plant21:49
bbrittainI haven't really payed any attention to filecoin... does the tech make sense? and like... how would you monetize that at all?21:49
bbrittainlooking at the whitepaper now21:49
kanzureno it does not make sense21:50
bbrittain:(21:50
kanzurei mean, if they want to make a file storage network that's fine, but their cryptocurrency stuff is wrong21:50
kanzureas usual i refer you to gmaxwell's analysis21:51
bbrittainahh, of course he made one21:51
bbrittainI went to a bitcoin meetup with him. The way everyone fanboyed over him was hilarious.21:51
kanzure20:51 < gmaxwell> jbenet: well I mean, in the presence of what I described I don't see why such a system has much value at all.  Or certantly any differential value against, say, people paying coins to someone who stores data.21:52
kanzure20:48 < petertodd> jbenet: ^ like I say, this stuff is a lot more doable when you don't try to make what are probably unrealistic promises. Just create some nice software to pay for data by hash and call it a day.21:52
kanzure20:52 < gmaxwell> (or saying it the other way, ni cut and choose proofs for proof of storing data are fine and useful and someone should make a storage that does itâ<80><94> but there is no reason to build an altcoin out of that except to turn it into an investment scam.)21:52
bbrittaindamn. another altcoin hits the dust21:53
kanzurehardly, they took a lot of money21:53
kanzurethat's not dust21:53
bbrittain:(21:53
kanzurein fact, gmaxwell is probably an investment signal at this point21:53
kanzureif he thinks it's a bad idea, then get in early21:53
bbrittainhaha, but get out fast21:53
kanzureyes21:53
bbrittainshit. I gotta go get stellar then21:53
bbrittainbut I don't wanna support something like that21:54
* bbrittain feels torn21:54
kanzurepretty awful huh21:54
bbrittainwait. this _really_ means I should go get some ethereum21:55
bbrittainwhich is the most bs of them all21:55
kanzurenot quite, being early would have been before their $2 million loan21:55
bbrittaintrue :/21:55
caternstellar's supporters are dumb but it's good technology, just as ripple was. a stellar layer over bitcoin would be a good setup21:56
catern(which is what will happen)21:56
kanzurehappened within a few hours of its release21:57
kanzurebecause the bitcoin/ripple exchanges saw that stellar was just ripple with s/ripple/stellar and the same build steps21:57
caternwhich is what will keep happening, i mean21:58
kanzureso they were already prepared to add it21:58
caternand never stop happening21:58
catern(its_happening.jpg)21:58
kanzureare you asking for a kickban21:58
caternno :(21:58
kanzurehm21:59
bbrittainstellar gives you no benefits. There are systems you can integrate with bitcoin that give you the scalability that stellar gives you coupled with actual benefits to the users21:59
kanzurelet's not turn this into a rehash of obvious things21:59
bbrittainsorry. I'm rather anti-stellar22:00
kanzurethat's fine22:00
kanzurebut i mean,22:00
kanzurei don't think anyone here is pro-stellar22:00
kanzureand i think the vast majority understand the problems with the network design there22:00
kanzurethis is what i tell myself22:02
bbrittainthats good, try talking to most people who self-describe themselves as "bitcoin enthusiasts". their favorite thing to do is to hop onto the most recent altcoin craze. it makes me cry22:04
bbrittainbut I'm sure you feel the same22:05
kanzurei know someone who after learning about bitcoin was "daytrading" the next day against the dollar22:05
kanzureand i asked him "wtf dude?"22:05
kanzurehe really thought he was being super smart22:05
kanzureuntil i pointed out that he has literally never wanted to daytrade before22:05
kanzuremuch less daytrade currencies against one another22:05
kanzurebut for some reason the moment they are exposed to bitcoin.. the idea hits them. it's the strangest thing.22:06
bbrittainfuck. I hate roost.22:09
bbrittainthis is my fault22:09
bbrittainI've been implementing push for firefox22:09
bbrittain:(22:09
nmz787_iyou all have never convinced me why cryptocurrency is hplus22:10
nmz787_imy pocket wiped all my data a few days ago22:10
bbrittainnmz787_i: I'm not sure it is. The same sorta people that like h+ generally like cryptocurrency though22:10
kanzurepersonal empoewrment, blah blah blah22:10
kanzure*empowerment22:11
kanzuremaybe not the most convincing argument i've ever given22:15
kanzurefenn: blueseed would probably do better as an expensive tourist attraction22:20
