PeterL: well, S.MG is sitting on how many thousands of btc? surely that would entice anybody if spent
asciilifeform: PeterL: prolly program ? i don't recall folks having to be paid to ~play~ it?
asciilifeform: maybe p even takes payment in the tree bark he eats
mircea_popescu: oh, perelman takes money now ? darn, i should headhunt the original
asciilifeform: l0l mircea_popescu thinks he could afford my brother , ahaha.
mircea_popescu: well if he wqants to go perelman all over eulora... something could perhaps be arranged.
mircea_popescu: hey, is this the fellow that used to game program ?
asciilifeform: ( he went, so to speak, perelman, some time ago. )
asciilifeform: or so thinks my brother, who for ~20yrs has cared for very little other than go.
asciilifeform: it will still be a few yrs. before it becomes impossible to play on the net.
mircea_popescu: usually makes a 3rd to 5th in singles tourneys or else somewhere 4-10th in teams. because her quarter tricks on minor points still buy a lot.
asciilifeform: bulldozer, in the end, always wins
mircea_popescu: the same thing exists in bridge, the stickler old lady.
mircea_popescu: computer plays like a shoe - true, but not just any shoe.
asciilifeform: they'd better, given that they burn out at, what, 19
mircea_popescu spent years hunting @ballet school. they do have other theorems.
asciilifeform: very few pro go folks have other theorems, they start at 5 y.o.
asciilifeform: (and to exist in the conditions where playing is a thing, for which the money is. but the money is strictly secondary.)
mircea_popescu: or maybe have other theorems to prove.
asciilifeform: thing is, money is not much of a motivator to pro go players
asciilifeform: or that.
asciilifeform: but at any rate i would not be surprised if one day i learn that lee sedol was told by a little bird that if he wins he will have an accident like go seigen in '61
mircea_popescu: anyway, thanks god for kakobrekla's idea of implementing that calculator on site, otherwise with bets like these that draw loads of noobs (i don't mean to bitrcoin, or to betting, i mean to thinking) we'd have had degrees of magnitude more idiotic spew.
mircea_popescu: https://bitbet.us/bet/1249/alphago-will-defeat-lee-sedol-overall-in-march/#c5794 << this ia actually a pretty intelligent comment
asciilifeform: much as i would like to prove some variety of shenanigans re: this bet, i cannot.
mircea_popescu: how about the fee gets taken out of mps fortune, and losers are refunded for good measure.
asciilifeform: covered in shit from walking through heathen world, and they never wash, so still smell it
mircea_popescu: "The fee should also probably be taken out of profit only, not the total bet."
mircea_popescu: what the fuck are these idiots on about ?!
mircea_popescu: "No kidding. What a scam this site is. I suppose they're planning on people not really reading the FAQ. I mean it calculates the odds for you and says 1 pays 1 but that's a LIE."
asciilifeform would be quite stimulated to learn who was responsible for the ~30 btc flurry of 'yes' bets in the 12 hrs or so before the game
asciilifeform: in the sense of not invoking dll loader at any point - YES.
asciilifeform: (re: earlier, i case anyone thinks that winblowz is 'too hard', i have win8 kernel drivers built with GCC and ~zero microshit code~)
mircea_popescu: yaya. i'm all about to encourage ~that~ sort of insanity.
asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu . and my offer to cover it with own blood - stands.
asciilifeform: in fact, you don't need me for this any moar, can do yourself.
asciilifeform could easily sanitize the thing, if .... etc.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428686 << pretty much all engineering since 2014 consisted of washing that crud off. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 14:28:06; jurov: the problem is in opposite direction, to untangle them
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428674 < yeah, "turning into unity" or anything alike is not happening. contrary to what alf may think, i'm not about to java-ify things. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, she's great in that film, warmly recommended - not just to watch, but also to get one of your own.
asciilifeform: which is not too far off.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the incredible insanity of naming a girl carice. carici being one of the numerous ways you can say cunt in romanian.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can see that angle :)
thestringpuller: ah I was thinking of little black book. was thoroughly confoosed.
asciilifeform: well, aside from the motherland burning and my being powerless to do anything about it on account of sitting on a sharpened telephone pole, i'm having a marvelous day !11
mircea_popescu: anyway, why are you so hurt by all this stuff ?
asciilifeform: i've spend my counterfactual-juice for the day
assbot: Black Book on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1UilLYd )
asciilifeform: and i appreciate mircea_popescu firing death rays at the enemy !
mircea_popescu: well, either that or screaming at all teh folk who try things.
asciilifeform: (YES i appreciate folks testing, cleaning up, etc. ! don't feel sad !)
asciilifeform: in practice i'm stuck doing pretty much 100% of the ab-initio b-a stuff.
mircea_popescu: all the things that there are can in principle be understood, or as the old jew said (in fiddler on the roof) - there is a blessing for everything.
mircea_popescu: the world is not a picture, alf. the world is a moving thing. let people be wouldja!
asciilifeform: i wish this were not so, but so far afaik the set of folks who understand everything from galois theory to O(..) runtimes to sdram bus timings includes 1) mircea_popescu 2) asciilifeform .
mircea_popescu: ok so then start with the examples i guess ?
asciilifeform: Pet The Manul. (tm) (r)
danielpbarron: on dead tree
danielpbarron: i have the manual even
danielpbarron: yeah the sane gentoo part i can figure out no problem. just never coded in ADA before
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu will ahve to write code himself.
mircea_popescu: course... meanwhile things happened, might not work anymopre.
asciilifeform: this is why i say that presently we have 1.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: if you have to ask...
danielpbarron: how to start writing ADA on sane gentoo?
asciilifeform: i'll read and test it , i promise.
mircea_popescu: ideally they'd all be different
asciilifeform: or write the motherfucking code yourself, why not
mircea_popescu: this is what we're trying for here : a) birth alfs ; b) continuously.
asciilifeform: ok then birth five spare alfs if you need them for all time.
mircea_popescu: so no, broken in too many places to be worth contemplating.
mircea_popescu: if you die one day what then ? etc.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even saying that, nor is it even needed. even if you ~could~ actually, provavly, known from my personal discussion with the all-knowing god, do it, what the fuck sort of arrangement is this, "so b-a exists so that alf can fix it" ? how is it better than you know, hiring microsoft to do it.
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu is entirely welcome to answer 'you SAY you could do X if you were free, but i know that you're a tard! so you could not POSSIBLY do X!11 haha' and i will be powerless to prove him wrong.
asciilifeform: thread was not answer to mircea_popescu, who i think gets it, but earlier folks.
mircea_popescu: so can we lay it to rest and move on ?
mircea_popescu: looky, lashing at me is not liable to do much. the point remains that this "i could do except alas" line is a total waste of time and utterly broken in so many parts it's not worth fixing.
asciilifeform: next take your diesel generator and persuade it to run on water.
mircea_popescu: not the line contemplated here.
asciilifeform: so clearly mircea_popescu is paying him too much !11
mircea_popescu: where he lives, that's middle class.
mircea_popescu: he is actually in one of those god forsaken places, doesn't matter which.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428905 << why not try & persuade him to move to botswana and eat some of his children so he can charge 1k. ☝︎
asciilifeform: aha but i hauled 4 ton through city traffic. about same joules...
danielpbarron: asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i hauled it 3km in 2014 with own hands and spent more on ~petrol~. << gas was twice as expensive then as it is now
mircea_popescu: so you're on the space station now, with your 4ton, ie, 200k volume library ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's an interesting datapoint, because 100 gallons of gas provide enough energy to haul 100 * 1.2 * 10^8 / 3000 = 4 tons of stuff
PeterL: That is about what my in-laws pay, and they are on daily medications and recovering from extensive surgery/cancer treatment
mircea_popescu: also, health at 1k a month is RIDICULOUS. pretty much all over the world, cancer treatment runs you 1k/mo.
mircea_popescu: he is a very good lawyer, and a hardworking fellow too.
PeterL: <asciilifeform> health is still ~1k/mo. << you just added another thing to the list, now we are up to 32k, still nowhere near 500k
asciilifeform: but this is not a very interesting discussion. would you have it with, e.g., your lawyer?! ask him what pieces of furniture he could do without, so as to charge less?!!
mircea_popescu: uhaul will take half a btc to haul your library.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> ick << what, this is an argument now ?
PeterL: I'm not saying downshift, just get out of the land of outrageous rents!
asciilifeform: discussion involving 'downshifting' is waste of my time and of everybody else's.
asciilifeform: roquefort is not any cheaper in mi than md.
PeterL: we have cheese here too
asciilifeform: and eat roomtemp-stable cheese? fuck that
