mircea_popescu: and
THAT can be nickel, or anodized zinc or w/e
the fuck you feel like.

this kind of
thing would be an expensive but very decent display-shield.
kakobrekla: no, it is happening all
the
time but it went way up from
the usual noise
kakobrekla: bots and humans
trying
to get in
the systemz/break in
the server/deplete deposit address supply etc etc
adlai has been
trying
to hook up a captcha solver so he can stop handspamming it
danielpbarron: i pointed out
the missing ref= on
the alphaGo bet in
that geekwire article; let's see if
they update it :D
kakobrekla: anyway speaking of bitbet,
there has been a large amount of rouge behavior on it for
the past ~2 weeks
assbot: Logged on 15-02-2016 18:28:31; mats: what is
this 50-50 odds bs
assbot: Logged on 15-02-2016 04:51:38; ben_vulpes: before i confirm your work, please
tell me how you determined
that
these were all unused?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> yes, if it were a personal work of brin
the younger, i would not be surprised re: no bets. << I'm not entirely sold on Deep Blue II electric boogaloo having been definitive for chess. Kasparov was not Undisputed in his championship at
the
time. His
title was not recognized by FIDE.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i remember, a coupla years ago, when i first saw a live 'mazerati' << In one of
the college
towns I lived in
there was one I'd frequently see as it bounced from parking lot
to parking lot, looking more like weathered
trash
than other cars of similar age.
adlai: human go skill allegedly improves with saki consumption, i wonder whether
they emulate
this in
the program or settle for programmer-mediated emulation
adlai: interestingly enough, 'abusing' image recognition ANNs
to generate images generates surprisingly similar imagery
to
that which is found from an analogous process on NNNs
jurov: these wait for gopher over whispernet or what is
the #b-a replacement vaporware called
jurov: but i don't use free certs for
that.
jurov: not up
to pushing my own CA
to everyone
that uses
them
jurov: and
then it failed cuz must read /proc/net/tcp ?!
☟︎ jurov: but not. i had
to add /etc/letsencrypt, /var/log/letsencrypt writable
to it
jurov: soo i'm looking on letsencrypt, which can auth
the domain by adding stuff
to webroot. so, no need for it
to be ran under root you'd say
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 17:20:06; ascii_butugychag: (there was a spiffy
talk at shmoo, which mentioned how nn used in image recognition usually imprints on what -
to a human - would be an entirely accidental cluster of pixels, and if you flip'em, it will recognize an obvious, e.g,. cat, as a refrigerator, etc)
adlai would not be surprised if
there isn't [yet] a way
to
translate alphago's "learning"
to human go
terms
☟︎ adlai: explain on what level? "the ANN weighings blabla" is not
the same as "play away from
thickness"
mats: i'd bet 2.5btc all of
two people can explain what 'alphago' actually did when evaluating decisions during
the fan hui match
adlai reckons bet weights
that
taper sharply (like
this one)
to be better at sounding out 'insiders'?
adlai: mats: friend who introduced me
to go claims "tournament champions should already have experience not in shitting
themselves under pressure"
mats: what is
this 50-50 odds bs
☟︎ mats: fan hui shit himself during
the match and i
think folks are overrating
the ai strength
mats: plenty of
time left, and 'geekwire' has given bitbet some exposure
mats: asciilifeform: operator drinks from google hose, doesn't need
to redeem cola cans for nickels
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: rolls royce looks like chrysler, mercedes looks like kia, and on and on and on.
this is why my 'toy' would be 'morgan 3-wheeler' but afaik
they're not importable
to canada atm.
adlai: mats: more "money left on
the
table"!
pete_dushenski: that's
the other
tragic angle of
the lack of quality, as it happens, everything fucking ~looks~
the same.
pete_dushenski: unless 'lord of
the brooms' cares
to defend a position
to
the contrary
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: maybe more like fridge in
that others actually notice
the brand, finishes, etc
mats: alphago bitbet prop,
that is.
pete_dushenski: and in case anyone is curious about how 'cheap' and old merc is... it's not. i paid more in maintenance and repairs in
the first year of ownership
than i laid out in initial capital.
pete_dushenski: why do you
think i, who can afford whatever i please, bought 'cheap' 'rusty' 26yo car ?
pete_dushenski: as
to
the organic food angle,
the car market is actually quite a different beast, mostly because
there is no 'quality'
to be had for love or money. a new mercedes will break just as readily as a new kia, just more expensively.
pete_dushenski: p
their friends for brunch on sunday morning while
talking at length about what option boxes (of
the 4 available)
they
ticked or didn't, and why or why not.
this 'aspie' set has no goals beyond
the moment's likes and hearts, not unlike
the set
that
tlp mischaracterised as patek philippe owners.
pete_dushenski: ue credit card balance, proudly watch as both kids graduate as professionals, maybe optometrists or accountants. as
these kids have never had
to save for anything, nor even been encumbered by uncertainty,
they proceed
to 'show off'
their entirely disposable incomes with
the purchase of nice watches and leased bmws, audis, mercedes, or porsche crossovers and
to 'post' 'their' 'success' on social medias and pick u
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: aha k, so let's see here. 25 years ago a young couple leaves china, lebanon, russia, or
the like and moves
to us/canada.
they proceed
to find gainful employment buying or selling something or other and set about raising
two children.
the immigrant couple, after working diligently
to put
their children
through university, ensuring
that
their kids never know physical hardship nor so much as an overd
pete_dushenski: yer is different breed…just wait for
the Insta posts of a millennial couple with #porsche #madeit #lifegoals #adulting"
assbot: Logged on 15-02-2016 13:18:49; mircea_popescu: notrly. mercedes is sold by poor beta muslim boys
telling each other
THEY WOULD buy one
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-02-2016#1406042 << as with all new german cars, yes.
this comment on baruth's blog recently sharply sums up
this arriviste betaboi phenomenon : "If you’re distraught about
the Macan demo now, wait until
the 4cyl comes out with a $499 lease special and a whole new segment of buyers. I can
tell you from experience (I sell Audis as well)
that

☝︎ pete_dushenski: though i eaaagerly await
the results of
the alphago bet now
that 'most of alf's net worth' is on
the line.
that's sitg, folks.
