mp_en_viaje: anyway, 1998 google worked because early version of "ai plays go", their pr thing where you iterate the links over a net, thing converges to values.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i recall this discussion back in the 2014 days, you were like "oh, still works for obscure error messages". stopped "working" even for that, huh.
asciilifeform: '1998 google worked' but strictly because a) noise was moderate and relatively easy to filter b) signal was actually there. 'master magician can pull rabit out of hat, but only if the rabbit is in fact inside the hat' .
asciilifeform: i dun recall in what specific piece mp_en_viaje made this argument, but i buy it -- 'high quality www search was always illusion'. i.e. even if google et al did not actively fuck the outputs, even so 'pray tell mr babbage, if i feed into the machine a net fulla shit, will quality sites emerge from the search engine'
a111: Logged on 2019-07-12 14:18 mp_en_viaje: the websearch is dead, pure and simple. is there something we can do about it ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-12#1922350 << it's detectably deader now than was even month ago. in the midst of heathen scutwork, had to extensively dig for eggogs, with google et al, and good 20-30% of the 'hits' are nao openly shannonized linkfarms with domains in the style of rfejgiigetzg.info etc and packed fulla spamola. i.e. full-bore reversion to state of art circa 1997 or so ☝︎
diana_coman: ah, the word-rot running out of words, myeah
BingoBoingo: Adjective abuse. Awesome and Great don't mean anything anymore so they gotta stretch.
diana_coman: well, to what extent is there webcontent outside of logs really (which have search, no?)
mp_en_viaje: the websearch is dead, pure and simple. is there something we can do about it ? ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: and so on in this vein, calling it 0 relevancy would be misleading in suggesting there's some kind of relation even fucking possible. there isn't, the whole thing's self-spun.
mp_en_viaje: "Mexican women cricketers pushing boundaries... and scoring them" on fucking Al Jazeera ?! why do they lie, it's buzzfeed, it's not al-anything.
mp_en_viaje: spoiler, tabacon is the shittiest venue in the whole fucking country, i spent a total of ten minutes there watching them be us-level moronic. out of the ~four digit~ hours i spent in costa rican venues to date, that item is easily in the botom 10% of the list.
mp_en_viaje: "I Got a Beer Spa Treatment, and It Was Transcendent Food & Wine|4 days ago When I first received the invite to check out the new beer-infused body treatment at Costa Rica's Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa,"
mp_en_viaje: 'A citizen of the world': NASA's first Latino astronaut reflects on how space changed his immigrant identity - Washington Post|3 hours ago - About US is a new initiative by The Washington Post to cover issues of identity in the United States. While the American memory of the Space Race is most often filtered through black-and-white ...
mp_en_viaje: not that it's directed, either. consider, randomly picking, a search for news from costa rica : http://archive.is/Uwh5N
mp_en_viaje: and continuing on that lulz : you know what's missing from this list of obscura ? ANY republican logger whatsoever. websites that were last loaded in 2016, yes. the ~only thing actually happening in the whole friggin' world ? awww.
diana_coman: "You unpretentiously rumble to douse and purpose Tor." - this is close to that Lushdrizzle eulora came up with, lol.

BingoBoingo: Forward looking Prelude to Forward looking statement: I plan to be finished producing it tomorrow afternoon. Weekly auctions are looking like the trick to put our fiat reserve to work on auctions, because with Bitcoin climbing its become a sort of albatross just passively sitting as an "Oh shit fund" and depreciating.

asciilifeform: link goes to eggog
asciilifeform still gets megatonnes of wu spamola, all in spanish, 'plox to send moar, discount!11 etc'
mp_en_viaje: merely there as placeholder example.
asciilifeform: ( interestingly -- there is no Official fatwa against benjies in mail, afaik . simply not +ev, as it is )
mp_en_viaje: i confess the last time i mailed anything hillary clinton still looked like she could turn her life around and become the slutty hottie genetics were proposing all along.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i actually considered good old cash-in-mail. sticking point is that u.s. mail has become stupidly expensive -- sending even small flatpack (i.e. big enuff for newspaper+benjie) costs nao approx what wu costs
mp_en_viaje: and every single step of the way of them cows coming home === the building of the republican stairwell. cuz how the fuck else.
mp_en_viaje: no what it is, maybe it's worth measuring, if under 5% ie 20/400 maybe worth doing" and so on and so forth till the cows come home
mp_en_viaje: list your problems, fucking enumerate their solutions, measure the costs, that's what the fuck rational activity even is! "doing weekly smaller auctions would improve participation and cut down friction costs and our fx risks, but it would introduce transfer costs -- western union / moneygram are like 20 bux per + nwo they get to build their own experimental scheme of my wot ; cash in mail has a failure rate, i dun

diana_coman: as long as the smoked eel doesn't suffer...
diana_coman: heh; the pickled mushrooms thing is one where I gave in and made my own after 6 years+ of trying every possible thing they have in the west by that name
mp_en_viaje: is it ok to wear make-up if it makes me feel better about myself ?
mp_en_viaje: i;m a stay at home master, the girls are out working the streets, perhaps ima start on a nice pasta in white sauce thing so it's ready by the time they're back home.
mp_en_viaje: my strong mood's kinda weak, tbh. i just opened the fridge and it smells so very eastern european, between the dozen types of pickled mushrooms... i even have kimchi! and smoked eel and whatnot.

a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 11:33 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo how's the status, are you rather short or rather long dubaloo liquidity ?
mp_en_viaje: an arrangement like this was the implicit counterparty to the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917494 inquiry. the idea behind it is that if a) you need 3k each quarter and $800 each month (random numbers, whatever) and b) you figured out this sums to 22l year and you want to at all times sit on 15% of that ie 3300 for safety then c) you're running weekly auctions for about $400 (which is very accessible for every ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: bvt tyvm!
mp_en_viaje: moreover, if the price swings too fast for you, something like this is the only available save ; and it has to be weekly because you clearly don't have the infrastructure to handle daily.
mp_en_viaje: this "ima auction when i need, what i need, and god help me" approach clearly requires a much larger downstream market than you have available.
mp_en_viaje: nd so day, clear out your schedule" utter failure, resulting in the predictable "waah, nobody reads my thing".
a111: Logged on 2019-07-09 16:58 BingoBoingo: Anyways, thinking on how the exchange rate is moving at a more lively clip... Would it make sense to shorten the duration of the auction for the larger Datacenter parcel? Auction opens the 8th between 0:01 and 1:30 UTC and 25 or 26 hours later on the 9th, and keep doing that month after month.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-09#1922203 << you could conceivably take the step of separating your need and your behaviour. sum up what you need per year, divide it by 52, take yourself whatever margin you feel like / judge adequate, and announce a regular weekly auction period. "they start at noon gmt each wed and close at 10am each thurs" or w/e such a thing. and then STICK TO IT!!!! unlike the "i publish on so a ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: speaking of, did someone have a complete ballas archive somewhere ? i'd like to re-reat that article.
mp_en_viaje: by the exact same logic, amerigo vespucci can't get to america to have it named after himself -- because lacking a passport issued by the femgendered king of tenochtitlan, he can't reproduce the described and pre-occurring voyage of columbus. sorry amerigo, we're gonna have to call america something else now.
mp_en_viaje: c) that "theoretical involvement" works through a purely arbitrary tower of chairs sort of arrangement, very much like the well documented pshycological defense of splitting (for the obvious reason). this is important to protect the theoretical involvement from deductive callenges.
mp_en_viaje: b) it's practically irrelevant but theoretically involved (the practical irrelevance is important to protect the theoretical involvement from empirical challenges) ;
a111: Logged on 2019-07-09 15:02 PeterL: asciilifeform: how does the type of passport affect the ability to join in auction?
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-09#1922170 << it satisfies the pillars of asciilifeform 's impotence-protecting thought pattern : a) it's issued through some nebulous, uncontrollable process by some distant and faceless substitute-to-authority ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: the experience of the past is there to inform the future, not to reformulate the past, we're not the pantsuit here.
