mircea_popescu: he can't like, ship gpus
mircea_popescu: fractal well ya but it wouldn't be economically feasible to do so
mircea_popescu: fractal why'd it have impossible to win ?
mircea_popescu: it wasn't the case they shipped MORe units.
mircea_popescu: fractal bfl didn't actually ship tho,
mircea_popescu: fractal also why i asked you if it's your first time and advised you go small. these things do happen.
mircea_popescu: hence my "o, this is going to be one of those".
mircea_popescu: fractal right.
mircea_popescu: the attempt to make the context entirely explicit is burdensome and provably doomed.
mircea_popescu: human language is not meaningful unless the receptor supplies context to make it meaningful. the contexts receptors supply often vary.
mircea_popescu: kleeck bitbet is a fascinating exercise in the limits of communication.
mircea_popescu: fractal in fairness, the "self contained device" part is also not in the bet text.

mircea_popescu: Aug 27 17:25:45 <fractal>what if they ship 2 units to make up for lower hashrates?
mircea_popescu: this ?
mircea_popescu: <fractal> Anduck: I came in here specifically to ask mircea_popescu and he said that a 400Gh 'UNIT' must exist --- based on the math, it can't <<< which snippet is this ?
mircea_popescu: as all words are ultimately circular constructs.
mircea_popescu: otherwise any statement can be elongated ad infinitum with requests for definitions
mircea_popescu: kleeck the problem is that you only have clear communication in retrospect.
mircea_popescu: "clearly communicating" is not something of reality sadly.
mircea_popescu: kleeck there's always going to be some edge. natural language is what it is.
mircea_popescu: lol. i guess this is how a good bet works, it's totally clear to everyone except it doesn't match.
