jorash: You have the idea, but we're not doing anything physically fancy with the silicon like annealing which is what Dwave does (unless you consider coding to be physically fancing) --- we're tackling the problem from
a 'computational complexity' angle, ie. optimzation in the simulation algorithm itself
benkay: actually that's
a not scam requirement i think
jorash: adding noise to the teleportation process it is shown that you can simulate these universal systems quickly classicaly! Alas, one must perform error correction, which again results in slow down. But
a new result shows one only must perform error correction at the end of the circuit. If you do so, then there's only poly overhead for correction, not exp! Thus, your circuit is quantum-universal
jorash: Gottesman-Knill theorem shows 'stabilizer systems' are classically easy despite beign quantum-entangled. Such systems require the addition of
a 'non-Clifford gate' to become universal (ie. to be able to run all quantum algos). Such non-Clifford gates may be 'teleported' by 'magic states'. This results in an exponential slow down (2^N bits where N is number of qubits). *However*, by
benkay: i mean that's
a good place to start
benkay: i don't really do formal math, so i have
a hard time really digging your kind of shit but believe you me i will dedicate some horsepower
jorash: benkay: The algorithm is already designed, infamously by Peter Shor in 1994. Our finding theoretically shows BQP is in P. Shor's factoring algo is in BQP. So if BQP is in P, then Shor's can be run efficiently within the emulator we will code up (which mostly exists as graphsim [
https://github.com/marcusps/GraphSim ], must be extended to include
a 'non-Clifford unitary' which is what
benkay: just asking from the perspective of someone who finds the applied maths
a fun, interesting and from time to time lucrative past time.
jorash: (The idea being that once we can factor primes, the remaining 1800btc of the ask will be
a breeze to raise)
jorash: within the quantum information community. My team and I (small group of scientists in Singapore/London/Boston) have
a theoretical proof that P does indeed equal BQP [
http://bit.ly/13Ecf8b ]. On behalf of my company [
http://noospheer.org ] I am seeking 200BTC to catalze develop and *prove* P=BQP by implementing the finding and running Shor's factorization algorithm which can take
jcpham: i'm
a sexy teenage girl
Namworld: Everyone on the internet is
a 13-30 years old white male with
a neckbeard and acne.
benkay: i assume that everyone is
a white middle aged male on the internet
thestringpuller: As
a black man, it's sort of ironic I've heard that
a lot from white people throughout my life.
benkay: tsp
a: you ain't icing anyone and b: cracka u soooo white
ThickAsThieves: been waiting so long for
a medium format tablet with LTE
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu of course there are no free lunches. you do need to match your tech to your needs, though, and
a dedicated box is maybe MAYBE fucking overkill for
a mess of blogs in 2013.
pankkake: I bet there is
a lot of AWS in the bitcoin world
pankkake: and I'm just riding
a small part of it
benkay: virtualization is
a thing these days
mircea_popescu: wtf am i going to do here,
a machine for s.mg,
a bunch of machines for mpex and
a dedicated machine for
a fucking wordpress install ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake this is
a server just for keeping
a buncha blogs online
benkay: "uptime guaranteed or we shoot
a neckbeard"
mircea_popescu: anyway. im in
a giggly intoxicated mood, better get off before i break more stuff.
benkay: and i only really look at them once
a month or so
benkay: but that was
a good bet
mircea_popescu: basically this twerk thing is
a sort of fastfood for dancing.
benkay: why do we have to invent this useless bullshit, give it
a fancy name and then popularize the crap out of it?
pankkake: we need to invent
a twerk for boobs
pankkake:
a parody of everything lame at the time
mircea_popescu: Ridiculous pronouncement! Hand-waving, followed by insinuation that events of actual import will take place! Events wrapped in stinking pseudo-mantle of meta-authenticity by citing of dates, number, facts, figures, and other babblefacts. Added aura of authenticity: The date is blahblah! There will be blahblah things happening on blahblah for blahblah! This but
a walking shadow,
a tale told by
a nonexistent being, full
mircea_popescu: be
a LONELY COMPUTER USER projected onto non-person/persona XXXXXXXXX!
mircea_popescu: Insightful ad-hominem attack! Breathtaking revalation about troll non-person/persona XXXXXXXX! Fear struck into heart of XXXXXXX via super-CLEVAR techniques of using INTERNAT WEB PAGES to lookup REVEALING PERSONAL INFARMASHAN ABOUT XXXXXXX. XXXXXXX has
a real name and
a real life that can be ridiculed! From
a vaporous, phantasmal, non-existent basis for comparison, I STAB AT THAA! Own worst fear of being DISCOVERED to
mircea_popescu: Have noticed that 'Slashdot Troll Scene', in addition to being
a figment of own imagination, hums merrily along in autonomous fashion. Like negro who kills own friend in ghetto rather than killing white banker, am unable to see past own seething envy-driven rage. Too blinded to attack The Real Enemay. Lashing out at those around me! In own defective, rat-laden mind, own friends and equals represent all-consuming evil,
mircea_popescu: if only people had where to ipo the laser printer, those two weeks between dot matrix and 300 dpi would have passed
a lot easier.
ThickAsThieves: no, but that reminds me of the time my mom found my dithered print out of nudie sluts with
a banana
pankkake: just
a bitcointalk where people are anonymous
pankkake: "Everyone involved in this use known and real identities linked. Oh and they are china. Do you know what happens to people commit financial fraud in china? They get executed. I highly doubt this is
a scam on that information alone."
pankkake: I don't know, he seems more reasonable now that
a few days ago at least…
pankkake: brb starting
a pmb so they can sponsor my lust for cool stuff
pankkake: well I'm
a tinkerer and I like hardware
pankkake: using
a raspberry pi,
a small linux distro
mircea_popescu: bitfury is doing
a lot of hashing these days it seems.
pankkake: I opened
a few unknown blocks, they were all ghash.io according to the coinbase
Graet: remember they are
a private business, they dont make money off getting stats right
Graet: 98.226.88.30 is
a well connected node that relays transactions
mircea_popescu: dexX7 someone HAd
a node, closed their acct, labcoin opened an account cause its cheap
pankkake: I use
a node to relay my local transactions
dexX7: well, what does it mean? someone has
a node running at linode and labcoin.com is hosted there, right?
mircea_popescu: it's
a linode ip you see ? it gets randomly allocated to customers.
Kleeck__: I think we're overdue for
a massive LC dump again.
mircea_popescu: "That was over 60K shares bought vs 5K shares sold. I wouldn't call that
a great dump."
mircea_popescu: pankkake it's remarkably well kept under wraps for what
a huge fucking scandal it was.
mircea_popescu: According to
a trustee liquidating the company after its collapse, the losses incurred by customers of MF Global stood at $1.6 billion because of the debacle as of April 2012. The vast majority of these funds have not been returned to customers.
mircea_popescu: On October 31, 2011, MF Global executives admitted that transfer of $700 million from customer accounts to the broker-dealer and
a loan of $175 million in customer funds to MF Global’s U.K. subsidiary to cover (or mask) liquidity shortfalls at the company occurred on October 28, 2011. MF could not repay these monies with its own funds. Improper co-mingling, or mixing, of company and client funds took place for days b
mircea_popescu: seriosuly tho, 4 minutes about how the rapper;'s mom lawyer was sometimes the man and sometimes aight, he banged her but so what his dad was
a pimp
KRS1: its all cool though cuz my dad was
a pimp..military and ladies man...he got his i know this
KRS1: got
a lot to learn from our parents rly
pankkake: I guess the
A(ct)M thing really does work
pankkake: I'm trying to find
a study on that, but can't
pankkake: I met
a sport gambler who told me he was making
a lot of money betting against teams with
a lot of fans
dexX7: he is
a major shareholder
pankkake: and I announced only in
a thread he was following
pankkake: there should be
a regexp like b[tc]{2,10}
mircea_popescu: the original testnet was
a pr exercise on satoshi's part, whether he realised it or not.
pankkake: why not create
a private testnet? actually I don't understand why there has to be
a testnet, and not multiple privatenets
mircea_popescu: someone mining
a lot on testnet would have actually caused some measurable delays
pankkake: "If you try to drain the Faucet dry, you won't be doing anyone
a favour and you will only piss off the core developers. If you try to sell the coins, the devs will just reset the TestNet and you will lose everything."
ThickAsThieves: $15 is
a decent price to use them as gifts/learning tools
mircea_popescu:
a great piece of engineering, but not
a novelty, not the fastest/biggest/powerfulest car
pankkake: no there was
a very active discussion on collecting all the colors
pankkake: didn't want to ask on the forum, I am considered
a troll enough
pankkake: "That'd be the first time someone is burned by betting against
a Bitcoin miner delivery." well…
pankkake: I wish there was
a calculator for the lazies like me
mircea_popescu: pankkake yes. when
a bet is accepted the site splits 0.1 btc or more on yes/no
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, graham is dumb, his creations reek of stupid, sure. why fight strawmen for
a living tho.
pankkake: drive-in fast food is
a sign of ultimate decadence
benkay_: average american isn't really
a good basis for comparison with anything
