kakobrekla: nah, taking in account the latest development, cosmic ray can alter all grades from
a single student.
kakobrekla: are you going to automate the display of results or will it be
a full time job?
mircea_popescu: it's all
a pgp keyserver archive download + python script away
davout: might be interesting to have
a table with the fingerprints matched with the uids you list
mircea_popescu underscores the ~probably~. it is not
a certainly. not yet at least. moar uranium has to be mined first.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i prefer to not communicate lol. do your job, report the methodology and results once you're done. you got
a blog ?
☟︎ adlai: will establish the referral cookie for
a month or so
mircea_popescu: and yes there's probably
a ton of work that can be done. just needs someone competent to do it.
isaackl: The only banner I see links to trilema? But yeah, ifhe 8chan ads are fairly new, there's probably
a ton of optimising can be done
mircea_popescu: you get
a 1btc budget, your job is to get > 1 btc in referrals over
a month.
mircea_popescu: ok, here's the deal : bitbet has
a referral system, where one gets 1% of the value of bets made by referrals.
ben_vulpes:
a leading poker bot takes 12 TB of compressed data
cazalla: must be
a different type of addict who plays them, i can't imagine your typical gambler playing them seeing there is no moment of win/loss
isaackl: My personal theory was it's similar psychology to RPGs, clicker games, even strategy games
a little bit. You're constantly chasing advnatages which let you chase advantages, etc
isaackl: So on
a table with 2 sharks and 6 fish, 2 fish will win
a lot, the sharks and house will consistently make
a little, and 4 fish will lose
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 07:23:40; ben_vulpes:
a sensible btc business makes bitcoins for its owners
ben_vulpes: if you don't have
a day to do it correctly, you don't need to be in bitcoin badly enough
ben_vulpes: dude it takes
a day to set up
a rock solid btc infrastructure
isaackl: what's next, if you could make
a bomber plane that could get through china's defenses then that'd increase demand for planes ? < Yes. Increased utility of bomber planes, USD would buy more
ben_vulpes: as with dance, sex, wine, etc. skin in the game as
a prerequisite for competence.
isaackl: To be clear, I wasn't proposing to make such
a thing.
mircea_popescu: what's next, if you could make
a bomber plane that could get through china's defenses then that'd increase demand for planes ?
ben_vulpes: what's scaring people off (which is unimportant, but let's pretend for
a moment) is the horrendous shitpile that the bitcoin source actually is.
isaackl: What I'm getting to is, if you can make
a secure wallet that's easy to use for, say, the peter schiffs of the world, that increases the demand for bitcoin, no?
ben_vulpes: assuming that you can even amass
a quantity of the real stuff, and aren't playing with paper.
isaackl: But is
a problem for people considering using it.
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, for the journos and other news fiends watching the log : i came to
a resolution of
a major sticking point re the rsa factorisation thing, large article coming in
a few hours.
isaackl: Not
a problem with bitcoin
isaackl: And in the universe where everyone with USD is
a hyper-rational optimal investor, bitcoin takes over.
isaackl: Damn you're like
a Zen master. You need
a stick
isaackl: What is this,
a Google interview?
isaackl: mircea_popescu: OK, to connect it to reality. Sovereign wealth fund, has
a lot of USD. Realises USG is shaky and wants to diversify. How do they decide how much to allocate to gold or bitcoin?
isaackl: Then gold will quite possibly win the runaway effect. The gold mining rate is
a constant 1.5% or so
a year, so post
a few more reward halvings bitcoin has the advantage
mircea_popescu: isaackl the idea being that your representation of this thing is manufactured for the needs of representation. it's what they call
a didacticism, with no actual connection to reality. bad way to think.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes intel has her photo, at 16 and current. looks
a little tranny.
isaackl: Currency is
a schelling point. People with lots of USD start buying bitcoin, eventually there's
a runaway effect
mircea_popescu: isaackl what's this, like an exam of sorts ? the heavenly throne is holding
a vote to replace the old usd with
a spiffy young fellow ?
mircea_popescu: leaving alone how "concrete idea" is
a contradiction in terms.
isaackl: Hypothetical example:
a hyper-secure bitcoin wallet that's easy enough for
a Warren Buffet to use. Maybe not actually possible, but if it existed, much more wealth would flow into bitcoin, no?
ben_vulpes:
a sensible btc business makes bitcoins for its owners
☟︎ isaackl: (i.e., after
a few more reward halvings mean less coin is being dumped on the market by miners, speculators have been burned enough times that more coin is held by long-term investors and volatility drops
a bit)
Adlai: but are you
a ninja?
isaackl: Though I'm not
a "startup founder"

punkman: 21 seems like
a reasonable chumpatron to me
isaackl: And if Balaji is
a USG shill he's
a damn good actor
☟︎ isaackl: Is there 'bitcoin is
a protocol' stuff
a cynical ploy
isaackl:
A bit at odds with their plan to leach electricity off consumers for mining
isaackl: They keep derping about 'Bitcoin is
a protocol'/internet-of-things craziness
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 21:42:17; asciilifeform: re: '21' etc >> 'The cornerstone of the strategy as presented would have been the release of consumer products that would turn power from wall sockets into bitcoin through the widespread dissemination of bitcoin mining chips.' << -somebody- clearly reads the 2013 #b-
a logs.
isaackl: Figured since I've actually read
a decent amount of trilema.com and the b-
a logs I should finally join the chan
mats: writing
a driver are we
punkman: " allows
a man-in-the-middle attacker to downgrade vulnerable TLS connections to 512-bit export-grade cryptography"
hanbot: ben_vulpes yeah i'd be happy to find
a better way to do that.
ben_vulpes: 'But she added the uses of hashtags such as "kill all white men" on her personal account were "in-jokes and ways that many people in the queer feminist community express ourselves".' << gotta love these people. "when you make jokes i don't understand and therefore piss me off, i round up
a hate squad and get you fired. when i make jokes, it's in-group solidarity and YOU CAN'T SAY ANYHTING ABOUT IT"
mod6: there's
a link at the top of that paste to where I found it.
BingoBoingo: gavmatic: Hang around
a bit and maybe think about submitting some pieces to qntra?
BingoBoingo: Have to take that timestamp on
a bit of faith since... git didn't exist yet
gavmatic: yes it's just some of my ramblings, and
a couple projects need to update thanks danielpbarron
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> <pete_dushenski> looks like ex machina wasn't popular with the b-
a crowd. no huge shock, i suppose. << whattabout Fury Road? << No One's going to talk about the blantant pro-Doge propaganda in Age of Ultron?
ben_vulpes: <decimation> so can someone explain why the nyse would have
a bitcoin index without any actual bitcoin-backed securities for trade? << "price signal" is necessary for securities.
pete_dushenski: i'm more of
a comedy man myself, but there aren't really 'modern releases' in this genre that aren't animated.
pete_dushenski: it's rare that i see
a mainstream flick, ex machina was definitely an exception.
ben_vulpes: <pete_dushenski> looks like ex machina wasn't popular with the b-
a crowd. no huge shock, i suppose. << whattabout Fury Road?
pete_dushenski: still
a healthy premium but also about half what it was in the first few manic days of trading.
pete_dushenski: calgary is
a good bit more temperate than edmonton (300km further north) as
a result of the chinook winds
decimation: pete_dushenski: I guess, but they are supposed to be running -
a market?
decimation: so can someone explain why the nyse would have
a bitcoin index without any actual bitcoin-backed securities for trade?

mod6: so above there they do
a swap of 'p' & 'q' to make p the smaller of the two. then they take the nlimbs of 'p' twice to allocate the space for each t1 & t2. which i thought was kinda strange.

a rating of 1 for gnnr with note: just
a reader of the logs
pete_dushenski: not sure why i decided to write-up ex machina, which i didn't particularly enjoy, instead of dirty rotten scoundrels, which i also just watched and found to be quite
a bit more of
a hoot.
pete_dushenski: looks like ex machina wasn't popular with the b-
a crowd. no huge shock, i suppose.
mod6: take
a look at this:
http://dpaste.com/0SQPBKC.txt Is there any reason when allocating the space for p & q to do Eulers totient they would initialize the space with 'p' and 'p', instead of 'p' & 'q'?
☟︎☟︎ decimation: apparently they have
a supply of skilled techs
gnnr: hello just
a reader of the logs, joining here
decimation: asciilifeform: re: smt placement < according to the podcast, the macrofab guys said they often hand-place stuff if it is going to be
a pain in the ass to configure the pick n place for it
mod6: we'll be correlating all the data and putting together
a bit of
a press-release and notes along with it as soon as the v0.5.3 perf test is complete
mod6: <+asciilifeform> why would we expect
a meaningful difference in performance between 1 and 2 ? << i don't, but we need
a benchmark anyway so we can make some assertions
