@eugenio8a8 I misunderstood your earlier message, makes sense comparing it again with the image, thanks. does the bias stay across infinite simulations?

[thirk 🐦‍⬛ @thirk]

@eugenio8a8 moving away from the center means more of those points are off of the head, which is expected from uniform distribution

[thirk 🐦‍⬛ @thirk]

@eugenio8a8 wdym? you have a uniform radius around your center point with equal spread. having it in the center of the head means more of those points are headshots. that's uniformity, not bias.

[thirk 🐦‍⬛ @thirk]

@eugenio8a8 how is that center biased? isn't that the expected outcome if the spread rng was uniform?

is anyone close to the metal on zcash worried at all that govt might use this as an attack vector?

say there's an important hack of some sort that goes into the shielded pool. we can probably expect pressure to co-ordinate quickly around freezing the entire pool (especially if the rationale given is the need for more time to identify and apprehend the perpetrators rather than to try and revert state). after all, if we can do it for a bug why cant we do it for a hack?

what's the best counter to this? community might fork?

@drahcir @_Enoch @peerxyz I mean one attesting to another via the contract.

[thirk 🐦‍⬛ @thirk]

@drahcir @_Enoch @peerxyz How is this the same assumption? In a two party verification scenario, it is pure downside for me and is just additional trust, no?

@XBToshi @BostonZcash there's no we here, it's just you and your headmates

@cypherpunk @XBToshi You're wasting your time trying to teach people who don't want to be taught.

@solarizid @makemake_kbo @ericmigi These serve a different purpose. Nobody wears a smart watch for style. Nobody wears a rollie for function.

finally got my time upgrade. worth the ten year wait. thanks @ericmigi

@makemake_kbo @ericmigi I've had one on my wrist non stop since 2012 so I'm a bit biased

@banteg @CryptoCyberia Completely irrelevant to his critique.

[thirk 🐦‍⬛ @thirk]

@24meebo @CryptoCyberia @pedro___ @TeamYouTube That doesn't make sense either given his tweet was referring to the reply and not his recommendations

@irkedCS @TDM_Jesus nobody wants to pay anywhere near market for mw dopplers, all the watchers are waiting for total capitulation from one of the dozens of sellers who post them on a bad week so they can get a way better deal when they choke and drop the price 20%+ in one go.

@BreadedNeds @ArtJazd Non schizo answer, I assume most codes will have a section that's easy to repeat just probabilistically, which is what makes them easy to use.

@ItsBrokas @LuzRaposa Aren't 90% of these "sims" just rating based on seed lol

@CooperTV There's no mystery. They don't detect the software directly = they don't want to risk it.
