Mats_cd03: i
take credit for good links in
this channel
davout: kakobrekla: hahaha, actually
the password is root
too
mircea_popescu: decimation:
the burea-tard who signed Obama's birth certificate died in a plane crash (survived
the crash but "had irregular heart beat" after 60 minutes in
the water) <<<
that
took a while.

benkay: give everyone a
touchscreen
mircea_popescu: or do you mean
that ancient "rsyslogd was HUPed,
type lightweight" bug
they've had for ages ? did it eventually prevail upon
them and so
they just
took logging right out of 12.04 ? :D
mircea_popescu: they even had a special doohickey made so
they could add it in
the menus
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Also, did anyone else here have reason
to learn Ubuntu 12.04 ships without syslogd or rsyslog << is
that even possible ?!
benkay: * asciilifeform doesn't own airplane, will probably have
to settle for slipping in his bath with a cocked nailgun // are
the 'suicides' humorously staged yet?
benkay: i almost
took a job making fixtures for
them before i knew how little i enjoyed shop support at big shops.
benkay: <decimation> yeah no doubt, but
those people probably could be identified and
treated with various medical devices // my favorite of
these is made my a local shop (designed in germany,
though). it sits on your nervous system and listens
to your heartbeat, supplying it's own 'carrier wave' when necessary
to entrain
the signal
that nominally keeps
things beating in
time.
mike_c: it's amazing how many great links come
through
this channel without any need for up/down voting systems.
assbot: Intraday Momentum:
The First Half-Hour Return Predicts
the Last Half-Hour Return by Lei Gao, Yufeng Han, Guofu Zhou :: SSRN
mircea_popescu: "The earliest
types of EDA routers were "manual routers" --
the drafter clicked a mouse on
the endpoint of each line segment of each net. Modern PCB design software
typically provides "interactive routers" --
the drafter selects a pad and clicks a few places
to give
the EDA
tool an idea of where
to go, and
the EDA
tool
tries
to place wires as close
to
that path as possible without violating DRC." << my naive bias
thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok im cured.
this and
the oxide gate problems, i can see it now.
mircea_popescu: "Particular difficulties ensue if
the rules are not simple multiples of each other, and when vias must
traverse between layers with different rules."
mircea_popescu: surely if
they both were online both'd have done 500 btc, keeping
their parity
mircea_popescu: suppose one day
there's a panic, which
takes one offline but not
the other, which now dows 500 btc
pankkake: no but I mean you have
to care only if
they are reasonably close, which isn't
the case at all now
mircea_popescu: (ie, someone who's not won loses nothing by making a spurious claim he has.
this
then
taxes mod
time, and
the more complex
the claim
the better for
the claimant)
pankkake: then quickly archive.is
the page
mircea_popescu: the problem with
this, of course, is
that it gives a monetary incentive
to make comments, at which point
the result will be a flood of nonsense
pankkake: yeah, for
the CNY volume bet I actually wrote a script
to watch
the result
mircea_popescu: im
thinking a solution going forward would be "claim bets", ie, bets
that resolve one way unless proof
to
the contrary is presented in
the comments.
mircea_popescu: pankkake
this sort of bet is problematic, because what
the fuck's
the submitter
to do.
davout: prolly sthg i'll work on during
the summer
kakobrekla: btw when are you going
to connect
to rtbtc again
davout: kakobrekla: dun worry, i'll
tell you a couple in advance which day i'll push dogecoin volume
to bitcoin charts
pankkake: unfortunately
there isn't, as neither exchanges publish a 30d volume
kakobrekla: reason: Not going
to check
two pages every day
to make sure; come up with a better resolution source if possible.
kakobrekla: pankkake if you are looking for
the reason i can look it up
pankkake: why not remove
the "fsdfdf" bets?
they make up 80% of
the page
mircea_popescu: jesus republic of
the soviets
they got going over
there. go ask lenin whydontcha
mircea_popescu: since when
the motherfucking hells does
the administration have a say in
this!
mircea_popescu: chetty "Or,
the Court might ask
the Obama administration for its views on pari passu"
pankkake: well, alternatively I can submit it for
the
third
time :D
pankkake: there was just
too much bets (and spam) in a short
timeframe
mircea_popescu: or add a rule "whenever
the last bet on page is not in my list of read bets, halve
the checking interval"
pankkake: or you should remove
the pure spam
davout: it also has implications wrt
to
the bet resolution
time
chetty: If someone gives me a goat I will never
tell
davout: BUT IT WOULD HAVE
TO REPORT IT
TOO
davout: so
the bet resolution could be rewritten as "yes if s.mg receives at least one satoshi in 2014"
davout: even if
there are 500 BTC expenses
to cover leading
to a loss
davout: making
the bet resolve
to yes
mircea_popescu: such as for instance i dunno, blizzard gets scared and pays us 50 bux
to not run wow out of business
davout: because
that would count as revenue
davout: the way
the resolution is worded can be reduced
to : "bet resolves
to yes if at some point during 2014, it is possible
to send money
to an address owned by s.mg"
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people reading
the logs just got a legal & philosophical education.
davout: let's move on
to
the second part
davout: yes, i got all
that :-)
mircea_popescu: the shorter stick IS ACTUALLY as long as
the longer one.
mircea_popescu: but
that whatever you may
think your measurement shows,
mircea_popescu: that's
the meaning of
the japanese sticks story : not
that you can
throw out one stick
mircea_popescu: as far as bitbet is concerned,
the string of english words
that is
the
title NOW MEANS
the string of english words
that is
the body.
mircea_popescu: these are not
the same, really. for instance,
the
title is indexed.
mircea_popescu: yeah but you're
trying
to equivocate between "in any dispute between
the
two,
the body carries" and "by changing
the
title you're not really changing
the bet itself, much like you could change
the css around it or whatever"
davout: i'm not saying
there's an ambiguity in
the bet resolution, it's perfectly clear if
the body supersedes
the
title
mircea_popescu: the way it was said was
that in any dispute between
the
two,
the body carries.
mircea_popescu: "germany understands
this peace
treaty as a carte blanche
to fuck all your womenz"
mircea_popescu: this isn't some sort of diplomatic negotiation where you can make oral notes on your signing of
the
treaty
mircea_popescu: davout sure, but
the way you understand
things has little bearing
davout: the way i understand what you say is
that
the bet
title is merely a convenience, it has no value with regards
to resolution, so by changing
the
title you're not really changing
the bet itself, much like you could change
the css around it or whatever
mircea_popescu: mike_c fud #2 for you
today, suggesting
the choice of venue is upon
the plaintiff! WHO EVER HEARD OF
THIS
mike_c: davout: you can easily fix
this by asking
the question in
the comments.
mircea_popescu: now if only
the us congress spent
their morning
today reading
this log instead of absolutely anything
they've been doing,
davout: granted, but following your logic, if
the
title doesn't matter wrt
the bet resolution
there's no problem changing it :-)
mircea_popescu: imo bs shakespeare
tony awards bets don't make any sense
mike_c: bibet has stooped
to making clarifying comments before.
this may be appropriate in
this case.
mircea_popescu: and as
to how much sense a bet makes... who
the fuck cares outside of
the people betting on it.
mircea_popescu: it can't really hurt
to make
them consistent, before
they're made. but
the entire model (not just of bitbet, for
that matter) rests on absolutes, and
the proposal of improving
this bet runs into
the absolute
that it's already published,
davout: and also
that
the bet doesn't make
that much sense if
to resolve
to yes s.mg only has
to report an incoming money
transfer > 0
mircea_popescu: where not only
they sleep with
their horses in
the bed, but also all house numbers are even
mircea_popescu: obviously mike_c runs
the rival FUD japanese restaurant across
the street
davout: well, i get how
that can be clarified, all i'm saying is
that it can't really hurt
to make
them consistent, especially when no one else has bet yet
mike_c: what?
that's ridiculous.
the shorter stick should be
the pair's equal length.
mircea_popescu: and so for any case,
the backstop is
that
the larger stick's length is defined as
the pair's equal length
mircea_popescu: when pointed out
to
the manager, he explains
that while
they mostly
try
to make it
the same length, being
two different items obviously
they can never in fact be equal length, for quantum reasons
mircea_popescu: consider perhaps a better example : we go into a japanese restaurant
together, where we're given sticks
to eat with.
