2021-03-18 05:21:11 <DigitalKiwi> https://mashable.com/article/nft-cryptocurrency-bad-environment-art/ was the first thing i read about them a few days ago lol
2021-03-18 05:21:46 <Axman6> proof of work is the real evil, it's very anti-lazy
2021-03-18 05:22:15 <DigitalKiwi> that's why i'm a commie
2021-03-18 05:23:20 <Axman6> this is one of the reasons I don't get all the hate for Cardano, there are still problems with it, but at least it's not trying to boil the oceans as fast as possible

2021-03-18 05:25:35 <Cale> Distributed databases are just not the solution to very many real-world problems
2021-03-18 05:27:00 <Cale> If you sort out the stuff that would be necessary to connect your database to the real world, the socio-political part of any given problem, then usually a centralised database almost immediately suffices, because in so doing you needed to give people some kind of authority, and those people might as well run the database.
2021-03-18 05:27:45 <Axman6> working on DAML has made me rethink that idea
2021-03-18 05:28:17 × lewky quits (~lewky@159.65.37.240) (Quit: The Lounge - https://thelounge.chat)
2021-03-18 05:28:28 <Cale> After all, the people who are responsible for enforcing things in the real world are going to be able to act as though the contents of the database are different from what they really are, so that administration might as well have the authority to edit anything as it sees fit.

2021-03-18 05:29:42 <Cale> (Obviously, not every member of it should be abusing that power all the time, but overall, it's often going to be necessary that the organisation itself agree that the contents of the database are in fact incorrect or invalid.)

2021-03-18 05:46:24 <Axman6> Cale: at ${CURRENT_JOB-2}, we were working on a system for managing and tracing events in supply chains, which obviously requires the interaction of many parties, with parties having a desire to maintain ownership of their data. If I'd known about DAML at the time we could have modelled basically all the requirements we had "trivially", including providing visibility to trusted third parties to observe events throughout the supplychain. I'll
2021-03-18 05:46:24 <Axman6> admit it is probably one of the few places hwere this really could be useful, but they do exist

2021-03-18 05:49:47 × jpds quits (~jpds@gateway/tor-sasl/jpds) (Remote host closed the connection)
2021-03-18 05:50:10 <Cale> How is DAML fundamentally any better than each of those parties running postgres databases (perhaps with a similar API), given that it's possible to do authenticated communication with them via the Internet?
2021-03-18 05:50:15 jpds joins (~jpds@gateway/tor-sasl/jpds)
2021-03-18 05:50:22 <DigitalKiwi> one of my dad's (long time ago former) clients started one of those a few years ago i think

2021-03-18 05:51:14 <Axman6> because that's exactly what it gives you, but visibility of information is a core concept in the language, so you have to eplicitly expose information to other parties, rather than working to hide it
2021-03-18 05:51:47 <Axman6> (One of the DAML backends it literally just Postgres, no blockchain)
2021-03-18 05:51:56 <Cale> Well, that's fair
2021-03-18 05:52:07 <Cale> The thing I think is useless here is blockchains
2021-03-18 05:52:09 <Axman6> ((I also can't claim to be an expert on DAML, I just write it ))
2021-03-18 05:54:37 <DigitalKiwi> whatcha got against merkle trees
2021-03-18 05:55:34 × sjtfre quits (~sjtfre@124.239.70.146) (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
2021-03-18 05:56:39 <Axman6> yeah DAML is the contract language, which has several backends (and using DAML Connect [I think, its name changed], you can use DAML to write contracts which exist on and are executed on different blockchains)

2021-03-18 06:02:36 <Cale> DigitalKiwi: Well, it's not so much Merkle trees themselves, but the notion of having a distributed database with non-cooperative or adversarial writers that I think is bad, and once people are cooperating, you can centralise a database and make it way more efficient.

2021-03-18 06:12:17 <Axman6> https://daml.com/learn/fundamental-concepts (IIRC) does a good job of explaining the authorisation model for the language, you need to be quite explicit about what actions any given party can do, and which parties need to be involved/give consent

2021-03-18 06:13:38 <Cale> Yeah, *that* kind of thing I think is fine. I just don't see why a blockchain or distributed storage (apart perhaps from replication) needs to be any part of it in almost all cases.
