thx!
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 12:54:33; asciilifeform: until i saw
the auto-updater crud, my most parsimonious hypothesis re:
the matter
treated in last section of mircea_popescu's article was
that
the buggers built a straight chumpmagnet, where lusers would search sks for email addr. of someone or other, and end up with latest key (try it) displayed being one of
the 'magic' ones
mircea_popescu: any idea what caused
the oom ? if anything identifiable at all.
kakobrekla: nah,
taking in account
the latest development, cosmic ray can alter all grades from a single student.
kakobrekla: are you going
to automate
the display of results or will it be a full
time job?
Apocalyptic: (why? well, mathematical material is not likely
to exist in any other form) // except postscript maybe
davout: might be interesting
to have a
table with
the fingerprints matched with
the uids you list
davout: not sure i'd know how
to exploit it
mircea_popescu: dja want me
to publish
the actual archive as spit out by
the
test ?
davout: but
these are keys
that simply -declare-
this as an UID right?
mircea_popescu underscores
the ~probably~. it is not a certainly. not yet at least. moar uranium has
to be mined first.
☟︎ kakobrekla: logs mostly but other stuff
that runs on same box is included
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell justjanne Raphael Nicolai Fabian Randschau (Uni Kiel) <rra-squee-informatik.uni-kiel.de>
top keks.
kakobrekla: since I saw
this clip, i always
try
to mispronounce it, if i remember on
time.
davout: so far,
the ranking is on par with "I've been saying “Parmesan” wrong my whole life"
davout: mircea_popescu: it's on hn, let's watch
the ranking pattern
cazalla: hey isaackl, i know
this one weird
tip if you need some help
mircea_popescu: i prefer
to not communicate lol. do your job, report
the methodology and results once you're done. you got a blog ?
☟︎ isaackl: mircea_popescu: and how do you prefer
to communicate? all
through
the channel?
adlai: the world according
to 1bum
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 07:29:53; mircea_popescu: 1) find some group you respect ; 2) work on
their ideas ; 3)
there is no 3. you will have ideas, yes, but you'll never have
to
try and sell
them like noobs with "my film idea" in hollywood.
adlai: will establish
the referral cookie for a month or so
mircea_popescu: and yes
there's probably a
ton of work
that can be done. just needs someone competent
to do it.
isaackl: The only banner I see links
to
trilema? But yeah, ifhe 8chan ads are fairly new,
there's probably a
ton of optimising can be done
isaackl: ok. online marketing for
this kind of
thing is usually about finding an under-exploited channel.
mircea_popescu: you get a 1btc budget, your job is
to get > 1 btc in referrals over a month.
mircea_popescu: ok, here's
the deal : bitbet has a referral system, where one gets 1% of
the value of bets made by referrals.
ben_vulpes: a leading poker bot
takes 12
TB of compressed data
isaackl: FB lets you do
things like
target cigarette smokers. Who says it's not useful...
isaackl: We
targeted women in
their 50s and 60s in places like Florida, if
that makes sense
mircea_popescu: isaackl i
think
they're
too advanced for my puny brain
isaackl: mircea_popescu: what can I say, maybe
they have no purpose, only dopamine causes
cazalla: must be a different
type of addict who plays
them, i can't imagine your
typical gambler playing
them seeing
there is no moment of win/loss
cazalla: pokies ipad games are popular with
the kids
though
cazalla: they
tried
to ban em down under but no luck
isaackl: So people playing slots aren't
trying
to win so
they can buy stuff.
They want
to win so
they get more gambling
tokens
isaackl: My personal
theory was it's similar psychology
to RPGs, clicker games, even strategy games a little bit. You're constantly chasing advnatages which let you chase advantages, etc
mircea_popescu: why not draw
the
thing on paper and win all
the
time ?
isaackl: Biggest money-making gaming genre on
the play store
isaackl: mircea_popescu: yep. Android only
these days
mircea_popescu: isaackl wait.
the stupid "X Y Z"
themed slot machines in ipad store ?
mircea_popescu: davout hey,
the first math class
that pays for itself.
isaackl: But
the virtual gambling kick is enough
isaackl: And some fish just love
to gamble. I used
to do marketing for
the mobile-slots chumpatron, humorously people pay real money but
they can't cash out real money
isaackl: Online poker eventually saw an accumulation of sharks and
the fish left
isaackl: So on a
table with 2 sharks and 6 fish, 2 fish will win a lot,
the sharks and house will consistently make a little, and 4 fish will lose
isaackl: Yeah. Poker is great at
that, fishy play gets you
the occasional exciting big win. Fishy play is -ev of course, but high variance
davout: imo it's
the only
thing
that makes
the dice games profitable,
the endless supply of martingale-chumps
davout: which goes back
to convincing
the fish
they can get an edge
isaackl: Gambling is rational if it's one of
the rare games like poker where you can get an edge. Hard
to design games like
that, you need
to convince
the fish
they can win
too
ben_vulpes: "generas unique design makes it possible
to make logic changes and feature enhancements
to it on
the fly without disrupting day-to-day operations of your users" << asciilifeform but how?

Today was
the day of
the planting of ornamental amaranths (Celosia). See cazalla I'm
totally planting edible plants if I want
to eat like
the world's desperately poor!
ben_vulpes: if you don't have a day
to do it correctly, you don't need
to be in bitcoin badly enough
ben_vulpes: dude it
takes a day
to set up a rock solid btc infrastructure
isaackl: what's next, if you could make a bomber plane
that could get
through china's defenses
then
that'd increase demand for planes ? < Yes. Increased utility of bomber planes, USD would buy more
