mircea_popescu: well honestly,
the wood airplane may well ahve becvome a big deal.
mircea_popescu: well, it was different... not
to mention "new and exciting"
mircea_popescu: logically,
the compiler is in
the best position
to do
this, because it can directly poll
the bus.
mircea_popescu: "The Itanium approach...was supposed
to be so
terrific—until it
turned out
that
the wished-for compilers were basically impossible
to write."
mircea_popescu: cazalla: not sure wife would be here when i get back
though :P << lol what, she got a nice big black fellow all lined up ?
mircea_popescu: kyuupichan: 3 wks ago in Seattle
talking
to a dude doing mining
there; was downvolting all his machines because of summer heat generation << but you know seattle/the us is not really
the center of mining.
mircea_popescu: dub hm, what do you hate about it ?
that
there's not really any "you lose 100%" ?
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell punkman: mike_c would be nice if WoL could
track bets on GoWs, since I already have an account for
the minigame << actually, it'd be prolly good
to have a YOU: summary on either side of GoW as long as
the person is actually logged in. in case
they bought multiple bids etc.
artifexd: Are you speculating
that it is a pipeline measurement or are you certain?
artifexd: If
that is a pipeline, wouldn't
that be
too long
to be performant? I mean, one missed branch prediction and you have
to flush
the whole
thing.
artifexd: It isn't interesting
to
talk about, but advertisers love it and it is a lot of fun (and frustration)
to work on.
artifexd: One of my projects is a custom streaming audio server. High performance, customized streams for each client,
transcodes one input
to multiple output formats, blah, blah, blah.
artifexd: If you listen
to
the world cup on
the internet, odds are
that it is flowing
through my software.
hanbot: so what do you do with
the wc?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 1.69116640 BTC
to 11`660 shares, 14504 satoshi per share
artifexd: Makin' stuff.
Then makin' it faster.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] [PAID] 19.59579552 BTC
to 1`149`988 shares, 1704 satoshi per share
hanbot: artifexd, actually, i've been
trying
to write.
hanbot: ;;later
tell mike_c hey "There is an infinitesimal chance none of
the numbers will be < 1,000,000. In
this case
the last group (bits 12 - 31) are used
to find
the location as follows:" would it not be better
to just re-hash
the hash and
try again? and if it fails again, hash it again. infinitesimal is infinitesimal, but why even bother.
☟︎ artifexd: gribble lost me so I had
to reauth
jurov: will be interesting
to see if
they can pull both
this *and* decent x86 emulation
jurov: dunno if
this isn't itanium-like pipe dream
artifexd: "ability
to perform on each core
to 25 operations in a single clock cycle, which provides high performance at moderate clock frequency" <- wow
[]bot: Bet placed: 1.5502 BTC for No on "BTC
to
top $800 before August"
http://bitbet.us/bet/994/ Odds: 11(Y):89(N) by coin, 11(Y):89(N) by weight.
Total bet: 2.06307729 BTC. Current weight: 97,814.
kyuupichan: BigBitz: No never heard of it. I used btctrip.com for flights for 2nd
time without issue (bad experience with cheapair,
though
that seems unusual) and expedia for hotels.
cazalla: going
through all
the permutations
though, sounds like
this was obvious and prob better
to use cc
kyuupichan: All I wanted
to do was change a date. booking.com is far superior
to expedia.com for
that; you, uh, just change
the date.
kyuupichan: Coordinating
them and
their payment processor (coinbase) was a PITA, particularly as I don't live in US so it was international phone calls. I'm not a fan of coinbase but
to be honest
they seemed
to fix it, and
they were
the most helpful.
kyuupichan: Well
they'd only just started
taking BTC. Most of
their sales reps had (still have) no clue. When asking about
the refund,
they said it'll be on credit card despite my having said half a dozen
times I'd not used CC and paid with bitcoin. Clearly clueless.
cazalla: so what made cancellation a nightmare?
they
take btc but don't want
to pay it back? fiat only refund?
kyuupichan: cazalla: Sure. Preference depends on circumstances. I'm overweight BTC; happy
to drop a few now and
then.
cazalla: meh i'd still use credit card if i was doing
that
kyuupichan: I reckon I must be high on
the Expedia list of bitcoin dudes using
their service more
than expected
cazalla: not sure wife would be here when i get back
though :P
cazalla: i wanna piss off
to angeles
kyuupichan: He'd budgeted +10% difficulty each period for rest of 2014; seems about right
to me

Total ATC (to be mined): 268435456 % Mined of

dub: more like ketamine, chances are it will put you
to sleep and only people with personality issues go back for more
punkman: ;;later
tell mike_c would be nice if WoL could
track bets on GoWs, since I already have an account for
the minigame
punkman: dub, it's not about backing
the winning
team, you just have
to buy cheaper
than all
the other mooks
dub: by backing
the winning
team. clearly
dub: anyway,
to sound like a sore loser, its a stupid game
dub: yeah I see it on
the front page but nobody would land
there surely?
mircea_popescu: it's like a large centrral panel with
the current game and
two smaller
to
the left, prev and next game
dub: try putting it on
the gow page where one would go looking for it
assbot: War of Life - Cellular automaton
to
the death!
dub: death beat life
though right?
dub: fwiw having a link ot
the previous game might be nice

decimation: some part of
the usg has
to be able
to operate in secrecy effectively
to perform
this laudering plan right?
decimation: eh,
that supposes
that
the usg is secretly competent, which you just implied was not
the case above
benkay: well i've worked
through
these provisioners from
top
to bottom, and now it's
time
to
test
them all against some freshness
decimation: I guess
they have only claimed
to have sold 30k of
the 144k
decimation: are you saying
the auction never
took place?
decimation: what does
the fact
that
the US auctioned off
the DPR horde of btc rather
than put it in
the fed reveal about usg?
mircea_popescu: germany is maybe in
the
top 10. russia is of course in
the
top 5, way up
there with romania and israel.
decimation: re: german spies << either
the germans are really good or
the CIA sucks at spying, apparently
mircea_popescu: i was like "why do i never receive altcoin summaries&updates ???" "because
they are all exceedingly stupid" "no wai." "eta 2 hours"
decimation: when you boil
that down,
the american "middle class" is really at most maybe 10% of
the population, so maybe ~20 million adults
benkay: yeah i now recall
thinking
to myself "myup. stop wasting
time, kid."
mircea_popescu: jesus
this darkcoin
thing is more stupid
than i had originally
thought.
decimation: or easily could be ex-pats, if
the mood struck
mircea_popescu: of
the remainder 20%, about 10% are homeless, in prison or in mental institutions
