assbot: Logged on 25-09-2014 21:26:13; mircea_popescu: really
the proposition of making a living with
trading bots is
the response of
the engineer who confronted with
the fundamental impossibility of making money picking stocks decides
to write a hard ai
to do it.
Adlai: liquidity providing = rape strategy against anything
that uses large market orders
Adlai: interesting. seen a certain way, i'm a slow-bleeding rape of
things like MACD crossover bots
assbot: Logged on 25-09-2014 21:16:22; asciilifeform: (in fact, i suspect
that any bot whose strategy is not a game-theoretical-finesse-rape of other bots - is quite useless)
Adlai: oh,
this. you're welcome
to do
this, it's open source after all :)
Adlai: if i'm ever
too spammy in repeating
this, please
tell me
assbot: Logged on 07-11-2014 01:17:32; *: Adlai begins a slow-paced infinite brainstorm of how
to monetize open source
trading software
Adlai: fwiw, if anybody in here is interested in geeking out a little on scalpl and
trying it out for
themselves (or just get a better idea for how well it works atm), i'd gladly do
that in PM. i
try
to keep my horn-tooting
to a minimum, although
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-11-2014#913050 is still going
☝︎ assbot: Logged on 16-05-2013 02:59:23; Chaaang-Noi: i find your guys reaction
to gold and silver as a store of value very funny :)
Adlai:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-05-2013#33371 << a forex fellow in NYC recently put it best: "Any commodity or asset being used as a store of value will experience higher prices
than its 'true value'... Bitcoin separates
this into a separate asset, enabling better price discovery for
the others"
☝︎ bounce: ew. I
think I'll prefer rai stones,
thanks.

tell you wahjt, if i'm
the boss of a
tribe and i need a curtrency ima make
teeth
the currenyc.
Adlai: "Updates: We might switch over
to dogeparty.io."
assbot: [ANN][SKULL] ☠ SkullCoin | in-Game
Treasure Hunt | PoQ
assbot: I scalp coin (@scalpcoin) on
Twitter
BingoBoingo: Fish market requires nose resolution. Kidney market could use scalpel
though.
Adlai: asciilifeform: anything, really, although
the resolution of
the salty fishmarket is probably
too low for scalpl
to be much good
gernika: mircea_popescu: im pretty sure 3rd stage reader actually has
two cvasi-simultaneous processes where
the same photogram as registered by eyes is first parsed for stems
then parsed for endings and
they get superimposed in a 3rd stage << Is "3rd stage" a reference
to a formal description of
the classes of reading ability
that I can research elsewhere?
assbot: Logged on 07-11-2014 01:18:27; mircea_popescu:
there is exactly one avenue
to do
that : make it so good some actual
trader starts using it, after which go work for him.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu, bounce: "gods" << mayer l brenner's dance of
the gods series was very entertaining. i endorse.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "sidewalk" << isn't
that your building's domain anyways?
Adlai: i'm not sure anybody knows exactly how much of
the collected works of erik naggum is
trolling and how much is genuine hatred for bullshit and idiocy, but i imagine most was
the latter
Adlai: mircea_popescu: poster from my greek history classroom: "It
takes N muscles
to smile // M[<N] muscles
to frown // but 0
to just sit
there with a dumb look on your face"
assbot: Re: Israel
Thomas and Marcus G. Daniels and respect for people - Naggum cll archive
ben_vulpes: "what politics? what politicians?
the above cannot possibly affect bitcoin."
Adlai often gets called a politician by irl friends and is unsure whether
to
take
this as a compliment or wut
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes
time for bitcoin foundation
to issue a statement
that
the only
thing bitcoin needs is for politicians and other leeches
to stfu and go away ?
mircea_popescu: people were still naming
their kids calogero after him when de niro was but a wee boy.
mats_cd03: 13:13:47 <+mircea_popescu> ...
the proper way
to regard
the mafia is as
the legal, lawful govenrment of
the place being continually attacked and subverted by various socialists, in rome and abroad. << interesting perspective,
this
mircea_popescu: (is
this fiction still current, btw ? moscow as 3rd rome ?)
mircea_popescu: should be obvious why
they didn't
think much of
the other rome
mircea_popescu: sicily was roughly equivalent
to old dixie. rural, strong right sorts of people.

mircea_popescu: from what i heard from
the remnants of people actually involved, dealing with
the germans was more or less like dealing with a party
that had done a bunch of drugs, sober.
mircea_popescu: well... if
they do
they won't be so long for
this world, getting in anyone's way, right ?
mircea_popescu: but
this is like saying "it's bad
to have oil in
the ground, because idiots will drink it"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why do you
think distrust is a negative ?
Naphex: and really lets be honest here, why are
those markets so easy
to
take down ?
bounce: the money flows with gay abandon
to
the point
there's a
term for
that: "military industrial complex"
bounce: it's a well-paying job for many little drones
that produce all
those intelligence reports
that nobody gets around
to reading
mircea_popescu: this is like saying
that
the company went bankrupt not because it had no money, but because it kept not being able
to move it from accounting
to other offices.
bounce: the impression I got was
that
the SIGINT is quite good, but
the inter-office communication not so much
mircea_popescu: bounce only compared
to other agents,
that do a much better job of it.
Naphex: asciilifeform: hey, in
the small
town i live in, like 300k
bounce: AIUI it was usg HUMINT
that was laughingly poor
Naphex: its safe bet
to figure
that most of
the lowlies will be meeting each other
Naphex: what i'm
thinking is
that
they just infiltrate comunities, and
then start drilling down
punkman: they
took down around 400 .onions btw
mircea_popescu: sell some pills while keeping
track of exactly all
the ways
the usg gets
the data, actually,
then leak
that.
mircea_popescu: if any of
the young uns reading us silently is looking for a dragon
to slay anbd be a hero : run a new silkroad as a reverse-honeypot.
Naphex: then eventually comes
the bust
Naphex: hey you gotta figure out as soon as lowlies seen SR1.0 drop, find a dork, put a website on
that
tor
thingie
mircea_popescu: this is
the basic work mode of
this entire process anyway, it doesn't work
too well outside of it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly. which is
the angle
that i stand behind here. usg is using
the
tor as it was designed
to be used, meanwhile lies about how
they got
the data, and
the people accused are
too fucking stupid for
that not
to stick.
mircea_popescu: if
think about it : accepting
the proposition
that sr ops are dumb as rocks implies accepting
the proposition
that
the shit will eventually be closed down.
Naphex: people just
throw shit on
tor, and it bunks up
Naphex: or mebbe people just
think
too much of darkmarket operators
mircea_popescu: "can use spoon
to eat soup but not paddle a small boat. because i am an idiot" wtf.
mircea_popescu: "Without getting into
too much detail, it is useful for capturing minute distinctions between accents and dialects; it is not useful for achieving a dialect-neutral representation of a language."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> punkman: hah, same story as SR1.0 <<< im not so sure i believe
that, incidentally. iut's called parallel construction for a reason, and
that reason is, "lying
through
the
teeth". << SR 1.0 parallel construction, SR 2.0 comedy of errors
