The20YearIRCloud: There was supposed to be a ? After what
I said. Glonass has been very problematic. When it works its great but way more unreliable than GPS
mircea_popescu: This is why
I say that all men should have an annual mandatory mental checkup. Over 80% of inmates are men, and 40% of the global male population ends up in prison at some point in their life. It is clear that they have some sort of genetic defect that makes them act irresponsibly and end up putting others at risk. Peace and civility can only be achieved if we ensure that the male population has a normal functioning st
mircea_popescu:
i actually invented watt engines 750 years ago, over a coffee chat with twinklebros
decimation:
I have a proposition for you but you need to self-select into a watt engine between 500-700 years ago
assbot:
I-400-class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
decimation:
I think we had a conversation about cow guts being a military secret in germany
decimation: yeah
I'm not sure that the rubber/plastic technology of the age could have made a big enough balloon
decimation: yeah you are right,
I guess the submarines were just a hypothesis (although could still be true, sand from beach, launched from sub)
nubbins`:
i think there's a guy in montreal with one of those as well
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Thanks,
I might have to meet this Parrot guy
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
I think an iSpace miner may have defected to this new pool
chalbersma: X-Rob
I looked it up. It will accept +diff but there's a maximum + you can go up. going 1024 when diff was 1 was too much.
BingoBoingo: RagnarsBitch: There seem to be a few of these sites. It was just the first one mentioned when the constipation crisis happened.
I think Blazedout419 brought it up
RagnarsBitch: Ohhh. So like nicehash. That is good to know..
I missed that
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: Well complicating this is also that other than Antminers
I dunno what mining hardware is actually shipping in quantity
RagnarDanneskjol: BingoBoingo - what is the name of the miners you are using - if its gonna stop tomorow,
I might take it over so there's more than one miner on the pool. and
I assume rob isnt planning to keep his running 24/7 indefinitely, right?
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: If it wasn't a badbet
I'd suggest maor white Americans get ebola y Jan 1st 2015 than black Americans. Seems safe since they already have the lead.
BingoBoingo:
I think every culture has its own countdown from 10 song
mike_c: asciilifeform:
I'll try it on my son tomorrow night and let you know how it goes
mircea_popescu: cazalla
i wanna meet the followers for all these leaders. america, the land of the 99 leaders to the duck.
X-Rob: which means every 10 seconds,
I (and all the rest of the miners) get told to discard everythign they're working on
X-Rob:
I'm finding a block with a difficulty of 8k every 10 seconds.
X-Rob:
I'm submitting a valid share every.. 10 seconds or so
X-Rob: so every n seconds a share is found (Which, currently, is about 8k or so, looking at when
I'm getting resets sent through)
X-Rob: Assume 'asic reset time' = ... 500msec. That happens whenver the pool says 'discard all your work,
I have a new block with a new coinbase'
X-Rob: And If
I did,
I shouldn't have.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu:
I don't think
I used the word suck.
BingoBoingo:
I have to say this is probably the most consistent rented hash
I've ever had it seems. The 600GH/s pointed at it nao
X-Rob: What
I'm seeing on the dashboard is not what
I"m seeing when submitting shares.
X-Rob: OK, that's better. It's now accepting shares at 1024 when
I ask it to
BingoBoingo:
I've also only got a bit more than 22 hours of rented hash left
X-Rob: BingoBoingo:
I can try aiming there again if you want
jurov:
i now have better understanding why jobs had to humiliate engineers to get what he wanted
jurov: if
i understand him cirrectly, ibm pc destroyed better architectures
chetty:
I suppose we are doing the same thing with things like libtards
mircea_popescu: "well they're not corsicans,
i'll tell you that! so..."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform definitely,
i'm not saying barriers must go.
nubbins`:
i also emailed your buddy the same info fwiw
thestringpuller: but there is on mine as
I might be able to get these into Zumiez
thestringpuller: nubbins` yea
i can't get in contact with the designer. He's being really sensitive right now.
mircea_popescu: "
I had this notion that it would be interesting to meet people from all around the world and show them Galway, but most of the visitors we got were extremely boring eastern Europeans who kept their food in a separate plastic bag and got up early to do yoga."
nubbins`: which
i'm assuming is not what you want
nubbins`: the fonts in the .ai file weren't outlined, and
i don't have the fonts on my system
qq1932: This project is discretionary for me and if
I don't find a backer based on this pre-qualificaiton then it is not happening.
I have two other outside commitments that are very serious.
qq1932: here's the deal guys. if you google >patents public disclosure< you will see that there are limits to what can be said in a public channel, since
I do not plan on entering the manufacturing field of the project. privately after a brief agreement
I can and am happy to share 100%. tihs is part of why
I need someone who would self-qualify as being able to discriminate and, e.g., understand the Watt steam engine in 1700.
qq1932: oh,
I thought he was agreeing with bounce.
qq1932: los pantalones -
I'm afraid nobody has self-qualified as yes to this, so it is not.
qq1932: It might not be the right audience.
I've had interest in other places, but they did not have money. However,
I would not like to refer to them,
I would really only pitch this specific project, in full, to someone who thinks they have the background, specifically in basic physics.
mircea_popescu:
i would submit that the worst invention of the 20th century was not the a bomb, nor the concentration camp, nor statal racism
qq1932: mircea_popescu:
I don't know how else to put this.
I want to pitch just someone who has the level of physics understanding that they would have understood and funded the Watt engine (as an IP play, which is what it was) in 1700 (70 years early.)
mircea_popescu: qq1932
i didn't selfanything dood. this ain't about me.
bounce: fuck no,
I just got bored of the repetetetetetetetetive sales pitch.
qq1932: mircea_popescu:
I realize that you have self-qualified above with "no".
I do not want to convince you based on appeals to authority, collaborators, third-party things, etc. This is a suitable partnership with someone who would self-qualify as 'yes' to the above question. Thank you however.
qq1932: mircea_popescu: well,
I am not in a position to drop my other projects to pursue this discretionary project.
mircea_popescu: maybe, and
i say MAYBE jobs can come up with "o
i dunno, mebbe
i feel like working on it" sorta deals
mircea_popescu: dude, let me tell you something to help your head calibrate yourself.
i recently wrote to a famous illustrator, whose work is celebrated by an actual fanbase and included in successful franchises. he committed, on the basis of that conversation, and the whole thing is costing me bitcoin fractions so far.
qq1932: mircea_popescu: there is no "secret" component to this,
I don't need to hold anything back. Of course, that only matters to those self-qualifying as having enough understnading to discriminate between the Watt's steam engine 70 years early (1700) and snake oil.
qq1932: mircea_popescu: this means, however, that
I am at liberty to share 100% of it within hte limits of what IP law permits (as this is a licensing play, like Watt's engine).
qq1932: mircea_popescu:
I have not committed any resources to it, and cannot commit to full-time work on it;
I have two major existing outside commitments.
I may not do the project at all.
qq1932: Basically,
I agree with you. At any rate anyone who is interested in hearing in this needs to self-qualify as having enough understanding of basic high-school physics that they actually could have understood the Watt steam engine 70 years early, if Watt had described it. If you self-qualify (it sounds, mircea_popescu, that your answer is no) we can discuss. This is a totally discretionary project.
qq1932: mircea_popescu:
I agree with what you're saying, and most innovations in, e.g. battery technology, or fusion reactor design, and so forth, are far too difficult for anyone other than a non-expert to evaluate.
qq1932: mircea_popescu:
I can understand this but in this particular case the principles are no more advanced (by comparison) than the Watt steam engine at the time. It's a different field, this is an analogy.
qq1932: mircea_popescu:
I disagree with you that it always takes much more than "highschool understanding" of any topic to recognize fundamental innovations that eluded people. In fact, this is the reason a lot of people think the "obvious" bar is too low and no patents should be granted .
I had someone tell me that there is no fundamental innovation of any kind in the past 200 years that was not "obvious".
fluffypony:
I was in a pm with BingoBoingo briefly too
qq1932: mircea, excuse me,
I was in PM with BingoBoingo briefly.
fluffypony:
I'm interested in this self-qualification
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
I'm going to infer Angela was the blond
mircea_popescu: and
i mean literally.
i place a bunch of blonde krautzettes in the shape of my signature on a lawn in which the nda was cut.
qq1932: There is no spam here.
I have a remarkable discretionary project. It is open to people who self-qualify as understnading enough high-school physics that, for example, they could have understood the steam engine in 1500. (Or the Watt engine in 1700, 70 years earlier.)
mircea_popescu: that's ok,
i don't do private anything with people
i don't know.
qq1932:
I asked you to self-qualify on a basic physics level in PM. Depending on your answer, may have an interesting proposition for you. Unlike the two outside ventures,
I am acutally prepared to share 100% of this (privately, due to IP considerations) because it is a discretionary project for me.
BingoBoingo:
I was under the impression the board wanted to turn "IBM" hence a few years of Sears selling "Mac Clones"
mircea_popescu:
i'd have fired them all too, and impaled a few, extra.
mircea_popescu: yes well.
i am not interested in buying technology made by legal depts.
hanbot: yeah, well, ipad is *something*, like
i said :D
