Every claim like this that says the code base is high quality has me rolling with laughter. The core developers at still trying to fix some of the crazy oversights that Satoshi left in the core code.
- GeneralMayhem 13y agoAnd even if it were, in what world does high-quality code imply state actor?
- fragmede 13y agoThe part of the world where professionals who are able to write high-quality code are well paid for quality work.
- GeneralMayhem 13y agoSure, but why does that mean government money? There are tons of very, very good programmers outside of the intelligence-industrial complex. "It's good, therefore the CIA made it" is unbelievably terrible logic.
- gwern 13y ago"It's bad, therefore the CIA probably didn't make it" is fine logic; therefore the reverse also works fine - probabilisticly. If P(CIA|good) > P(CIA), then P(CIA|~good) < P(CIA).
- GeneralMayhem 13y agoLogically sound but significantly negligible. I'd say P(CIA|~good) is very small, but P(CIA) is also quite small. P(CIA|good) >= 50% iff the CIA produces at least 50% of the good security-related code in the world. I don't see it.
