I'm not afraid of dying, I'm honestly planning on intentional death if specific conditions are met, (dementia or "locked in"). I have DNR on my medical necklace next to my conditions because if they bother to slow down e

The system isn't operating at maximum profit margin until the cost of components breaking outweigh the gains of overstressing them.

Yeah, sadly this paper is a reasonable example of the status quo. There is a contribution in there under all the cruft (if we assume a trusted leader, and we can authenticate message origin, we don't have to use Public/private key

No. The proofs for the security security of most of the methods of public/private key systems are weaker than "you can't reverse this hash function". They are still robust in the face of computers that may physically exi

Right but "Avoiding PKI" and "Secure Against Quantum Computers" barely even correlate. We have methods we consider post-quantum in heavy use. "PKI is generally sketchy and we would like to explore alternatives"

So the protocol seems to boil down to: 1) Already have a leader "Dealer" 2) The leader builds a K-of-N set of shared secret keys. 3) They publish a mapping of each participant (participant_i->hash(secret_i)) 4) The leader trans

Basically, the root disagreement was "monotonic improvement". Evolution is awesome, but it couldn't work with only monotonic improvement. I used to do an "optimization" on my genetic algorithms. I'd ensure the

I decided i would prefer to quote Ms Frizzle instead of this.

I think cooperation is never a locally optimal strategy. Somebody allways gets to pick second at the prisoner's dilemma table, and locally optimal behavior is to eat the trusting idiot. Takes a lot of luck to evolve cooperation multipl

This is related, and it is the paper that lives constantly rent free in my head. I think it will retroactively be viewed as revolutionary: https://www.alexwg.org/publications/PhysRevLett_110-168702.p... Basically, inte

Evolution is a satisficer not optimizer. All major trophic level breakthroughs are powered by evolving a reserve of efficiency in which mult-step searching can occur. multicellular life, collaboration between species, mutualism, social beha

To boil it down simple: People are vaguely good and competent, they leave systems in a locally-optimal state. In general only changes that are "one step" are considered, and they allways leave things worse when you are currently i

Ah yes, because explicitly admitting who controls the financial system is more efficient than using proof of waste to measure it indirectly. I wish cryptocurrency folks would stop pretending it is about decentralization or distributed syste

No, then a company running tests is liable for damages. Being a test subject isn't a free lunch, but would definitely change my situation no matter how it played out. I've found "working from home to mitigate issues" to

The root misunderstanding is the "social species" part of my statement. Neurodiversity benefits the species, so it will be selected for as a survival trait for the species, even if it is recessive or those who express it never rep

by Rhapso 2y ago
Oh agreed, but all "positive attributes" are problems at extremes. I think this is similar. Literally everything we pathologize around mental health (that isn't a direct deficit) is "normal at lower intensities"

Like all variation in traits, going beyond 2 standard deviations tends to not be beneficial. We don't get to have variation without also having the potential for too much of it. Welcome to the messy stochastic search algorithm that is

by Rhapso 2y ago
I'm biased to the evolutionary argument that neurodiversity is a survival trait in social animals. This theory, especially if the outcome is effectively random bias in cognitive development, would fit that.

Huh, funny that my homestead site is 3 miles away from such a dam. I'd like to keep the lake at a decent level too, I like fishing. The TVA made them good! I know what I'm up to, i just really like trolling goldbugs.

So stockpile actually medium term useful things and take everybody's gold and then be a gold kingpin in the post-nuclear Renaissance?

by Rhapso 2y ago
Awesome! That is a real answer rather than goldbug sales propaganda! I still don't think gold will hold value very well outside of the context of our current prosperity though.
