mircea_popescu: ok so this happens to be the fucking tits. obama just gave the 1 year obamacare delay that the house wanted a month ago. except by now it's too fucking late, and as a result of his inept dickery 5mn unfortunate fucks are left without coverage as they were already cancelled.

mircea_popescu: that then can get sued into the shit and declare bankruptcy
mircea_popescu: i suppose corporations will catch on of this magic soon, and we'll see ads for monsanto made by shells
mircea_popescu: because that's how things work now. you can insulate yourself from anything.
mircea_popescu: right. they're not from obama, nor are they from tradefortress or pirate.
mircea_popescu: this will be our debate all through the rest of this decade.
mircea_popescu: confucius says, as bitcoin transitions from 1k to 1mn usd per it will be impossibel to discern whether usg idiocy or bitcoin coolness is pushing the change
mircea_popescu: well, whoever was left after they hired among libertards for website coding skills.
mircea_popescu: you think it is fake, and you'd think it'd have to be fake.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why people are so butthurt over how stupid they are. of course they're stupid, nobody smart voted for the guy.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell smickles any idea why mpexbot chokes on $vwap ^OIX ? everything else works
mircea_popescu: but i can envision when we finally get ai that'll be how s.ai will sell it :
mircea_popescu: even if they live in a sort of gay house, with a house mother, it still takes > 3
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is why i see no future for the family of two. by the time all is said and done, living in new york today requires the pooled resources, chiefly intellectual, of about six average kids
mircea_popescu: this is true. merely being retarded is a bar constantly moving up.
mircea_popescu: people certainly haven't well digested nuclear decay, yet
mircea_popescu: actually, perhaps marie curie's experience is a better example.
mircea_popescu: i guess we will likely live to see the best part of it anyway.
mircea_popescu: gravity, fire, these are things that beat so many cavemen across the skull it's ancestral memory
mircea_popescu: no see, because the mains have good precedent in the fire.
mircea_popescu: i doubt the girl's story will actually come i nthat form to the fore.
mircea_popescu: unlike electricity, bitcoin has deep philosophical implications. like say, gravity
mircea_popescu: i suppose going forward this universal subservience of all people, institutions, mechanisms and consjiderations to bitcoin will be the hardest thing for the population to digest.
mircea_popescu: yes asciilifeform , but bitcoin is here to tell academia how to do academia,
mircea_popescu: there must be urgently implemented a pillory system in academia. the top 10% get funding, AND the bottom 10% get tgo spend a day nude with their necks in the thing.
mircea_popescu: blablablaherpderp we know shit, "Until now it has not happened because apparently only very small percentage of active mining devices were switched off on 29 November 2012."
mircea_popescu: "your asics won't be useful anyway by the time anyone gets around to getting changes in that brick it"
mircea_popescu: anyway. this article should be condensed into a two page job application with an asic producer and ditch all the "research" presumptiousness and otherwise opining.
mircea_popescu: perhaps that call was based on the mistaken belief that asics are more durable goods than toilet paper, which has been proven not to hold.

mircea_popescu: Overall we see that we can save 18 additions: 16 additions have a constant equal equal to zero, and 2 more additions with 0x80000000 which can be replaced by flipping one bit, the cost of which is very small (in hardware) when compared to the cost of one addition.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the c oncept of amortised cost of hashes used in efficiency of computation calculations is a sound way to go about things.
mircea_popescu: still the improvements are slight. save 2.x rounds out of 64, that's a 3% gain
mircea_popescu: tho in fairness maybne they were braindamaged/didn't have the time to do it properly
mircea_popescu: because it came out that all the logic needed to do this would actually increased cost and lowered efficiency of the chips
mircea_popescu: this actually has been discussed but not included by at least two asic developers
