Unsigned integer means an integer that hasn’t been cryptographically signed by the chain of blocks right?
The verdict quotes this exchange (page 163):
Q: Just out of curiosity, do you know what unsigned means in that?
A: I do. Basically it’s unsigned variable, it’s not an integer with–
Q: With what?
A: It’s larger. I’m not sure how – I mean, on the stand here, I’m not sure how I’d say it, but –
Q: Take a wild guess.
A: How I would describe it, I’m not quite sure. I know what it is.
Q: Okay.
A: I’m not terribly good when I’m trying to do things like this. Writing it down would be different.
Q: Well, do you recall you mentioned that you had a book by Professor Stroustrup?
A: I do.
Q: You haven’t disclosed that book, but you have disclosed three other books about C++, so I want to take you to one of those. It’s {L1/199/1}, and could we go to page 47. Do you see that it explains that “unsigned” means that it cannot be negative?
A: Yes, I do understand that. Would I have thought of saying it in such a simple way? No.
There’s this weird trend where some people simultaneously think:
Obviously 1 is false, but if we lived in a bizarro world where it was true then the “prompt engineers” would very quickly realize that literally anyone is capable of engineering prompts and they are not in fact a unique and special person who is better than anyone else at asking jarvis to wipe their butt for them.
