mircea_popescu: benkay afaik heart beats on its own localised nervous system
mircea_popescu: "The earliest types of EDA routers were "manual routers" -- the drafter clicked a mouse on the endpoint of each line segment of each net. Modern PCB design software typically provides "interactive routers" -- the drafter selects a pad and clicks a few places to give the EDA tool an idea of where to go, and the EDA tool tries to place wires as close to that path as possible without violating DRC." << my naive bias thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok im cured. this and the oxide gate problems, i can see it now.
mircea_popescu: "Particular difficulties ensue if the rules are not simple multiples of each other, and when vias must traverse between layers with different rules."
mircea_popescu: surely if they both were online both'd have done 500 btc, keeping their parity
mircea_popescu: suppose one day there's a panic, which takes one offline but not the other, which now dows 500 btc
mircea_popescu: pankkake unless one exchange is offline for a little bit.
mircea_popescu: (ie, someone who's not won loses nothing by making a spurious claim he has. this then taxes mod time, and the more complex the claim the better for the claimant)
mircea_popescu: the problem with this, of course, is that it gives a monetary incentive to make comments, at which point the result will be a flood of nonsense
mircea_popescu: im thinking a solution going forward would be "claim bets", ie, bets that resolve one way unless proof to the contrary is presented in the comments.
mircea_popescu: pankkake this sort of bet is problematic, because what the fuck's the submitter to do.
mircea_popescu: jesus republic of the soviets they got going over there. go ask lenin whydontcha
mircea_popescu: since when the motherfucking hells does the administration have a say in this!
mircea_popescu: chetty "Or, the Court might ask the Obama administration for its views on pari passu"
mircea_popescu: or add a rule "whenever the last bet on page is not in my list of read bets, halve the checking interval"
mircea_popescu: davout except satoshi is misleading, itcould receive a goat.
mircea_popescu: such as for instance i dunno, blizzard gets scared and pays us 50 bux to not run wow out of business
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people reading the logs just got a legal & philosophical education.
mircea_popescu: the shorter stick IS ACTUALLY as long as the longer one.
mircea_popescu: but that whatever you may think your measurement shows,
mircea_popescu: that's the meaning of the japanese sticks story : not that you can throw out one stick
mircea_popescu: as far as bitbet is concerned, the string of english words that is the title NOW MEANS the string of english words that is the body.
mircea_popescu: these are not the same, really. for instance, the title is indexed.
mircea_popescu: yeah but you're trying to equivocate between "in any dispute between the two, the body carries" and "by changing the title you're not really changing the bet itself, much like you could change the css around it or whatever"
mircea_popescu: the way it was said was that in any dispute between the two, the body carries.
mircea_popescu: "germany understands this peace treaty as a carte blanche to fuck all your womenz"
mircea_popescu: this isn't some sort of diplomatic negotiation where you can make oral notes on your signing of the treaty
mircea_popescu: davout sure, but the way you understand things has little bearing
mircea_popescu: mike_c fud #2 for you today, suggesting the choice of venue is upon the plaintiff! WHO EVER HEARD OF THIS
mircea_popescu: the us might have a chance of being properly administered for a day.
mircea_popescu: now if only the us congress spent their morning today reading this log instead of absolutely anything they've been doing,
mircea_popescu: the absolute isn't a conditional absolute, ie, "the bet won't changed except for parts we can get away with"
mircea_popescu: imo bs shakespeare tony awards bets don't make any sense
mircea_popescu: and as to how much sense a bet makes... who the fuck cares outside of the people betting on it.
mircea_popescu: it can't really hurt to make them consistent, before they're made. but the entire model (not just of bitbet, for that matter) rests on absolutes, and the proposal of improving this bet runs into the absolute that it's already published,
mircea_popescu: where not only they sleep with their horses in the bed, but also all house numbers are even
mircea_popescu: obviously mike_c runs the rival FUD japanese restaurant across the street
mircea_popescu: and so for any case, the backstop is that the larger stick's length is defined as the pair's equal length
mircea_popescu: when pointed out to the manager, he explains that while they mostly try to make it the same length, being two different items obviously they can never in fact be equal length, for quantum reasons
mircea_popescu: consider perhaps a better example : we go into a japanese restaurant together, where we're given sticks to eat with.
mircea_popescu: howso you think you did make it, is more the question.
mircea_popescu: lol. you ask me how so you've failed to make a case ? by failing to make a case lol.
mircea_popescu: moreover, you're saying it, but you're not backing it up.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Would you venture to guess at which post of my blog might pass the Mircea OpenBSD one in the next few months? << something with cats in it. or depending on whaty you mean by pass.
mircea_popescu: (and if the bet was worded otherwise, this would havbe been true. if you can make a hundred billion dollar donation to berkshire you can currently win the berkshire bet too)
mircea_popescu: ah that. well, if all else fails the bitbet backstop is that titles are informative, bets are descriptive
mircea_popescu: i gotthe gribble but not there in the log so dunno context yet.
mircea_popescu: but, like the above, not something the screentanned neckbeard can figure out on his own. (same reason)
mircea_popescu: and now you've engineered humiliatory failure for yourself.
mircea_popescu: and you'll be painfully wrong and he'll be lulzily right each time he does it
mircea_popescu: davout indeed. the dirty little open secret here is that if you don't specify it openly, mp will specify it closedly and then beat you over the head every time you deviate
mircea_popescu: obviously it doesn't work that way, but "obviously" doesn't work for your average screentanned neckbeard because obviously depends on social experience
mircea_popescu: with the infantile expectation that no one might figure it out, and should someone figure it out they'd necessarily be easy to laugh down, "because lulz"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Rabite's purpose is not correctness, security, or anything else understandable.... Rabit is soley for the lulz << lulz is quite understandable, if not machine-understandable. the trick most people claiming to be "only in for the lulz" do is copied directly from that ancient trick of the socialist, "in it only for the soviets" : they oft use it to cover their own (usually intellecual) laziness
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my intuition is that the machine couldhave evolving bias. like you know, a virgin girl trying to fuck you.
