davout: what part of "the
title isn't consistent with
the bet resolution condition" do you disagree with?
mircea_popescu: howso you
think you did make it, is more
the question.
mircea_popescu: lol. you ask me how so you've failed
to make a case ? by failing
to make a case lol.
davout: just saying
the resolution condition should be rewritten, which shouldn't be much of an issue since
there are only house bets for now
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Would you venture
to guess at which post of my blog might pass
the Mircea OpenBSD one in
the next few months? << something with cats in it. or depending on whaty you mean by pass.
davout: by sending it money, assuming
there's some sort of service rolled-out by end 2014, if not it can't really have revenue or be profitable, but in
this case
the bet
title might as well be reworded
to "s.mg open for business" or something like
that
mircea_popescu: (and if
the bet was worded otherwise,
this would havbe been
true. if you can make a hundred billion dollar donation
to berkshire you can currently win
the berkshire bet
too)
davout: ok, so by
this logic i just have
to make a donation
to s.mg
to have it have "revenue", and
the bet resolves
to 'yes'
mircea_popescu: ah
that. well, if all else fails
the bitbet backstop is
that
titles are informative, bets are descriptive
davout: the resolution says it has
to have "revenue",
the
title says it has
to be "profitable"
mircea_popescu: i gotthe gribble but not
there in
the log so dunno context yet.
davout: so, what do you
think about
the wording of
the "s.mg profitable in 2014" bet ?
davout: everyone's
trying
to be as cool as
the openssl folks
mircea_popescu: but, like
the above, not something
the screentanned neckbeard can figure out on his own. (same reason)
mircea_popescu: and you'll be painfully wrong and he'll be lulzily right each
time he does it
mircea_popescu: davout indeed.
the dirty little open secret here is
that if you don't specify it openly, mp will specify it closedly and
then beat you over
the head every
time you deviate
mircea_popescu: obviously it doesn't work
that way, but "obviously" doesn't work for your average screentanned neckbeard because obviously depends on social experience
davout: "BingoBoingo: Introduce religion and
then bugs become "canon" <<
they've been
trying
to do
that
to bitcoin for a coupla years by now." <<< which is one of
the reason specifying
the protocol was deemed 'too hard'
mircea_popescu: with
the infantile expectation
that no one might figure it out, and should someone figure it out
they'd necessarily be easy
to laugh down, "because lulz"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Rabite's purpose is not correctness, security, or anything else understandable.... Rabit is soley for
the lulz << lulz is quite understandable, if not machine-understandable.
the
trick most people claiming
to be "only in for
the lulz" do is copied directly from
that ancient
trick of
the socialist, "in it only for
the soviets" :
they oft use it
to cover
their own (usually intellecual) laziness
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my intuition is
that
the machine couldhave evolving bias. like you know, a virgin girl
trying
to fuck you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: MB of... .bat script <<
the origin of batshit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i actually added
this
to
the list of
things
to do when im old and retired.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Introduce religion and
then bugs become "canon" <<
they've been
trying
to do
that
to bitcoin for a coupla years by now.
mircea_popescu: so
then what in
the fuck. you
take an infinite lifespan
to
try out 10k options on a computer ?
mircea_popescu: maybe
that's what i'm not getting. how many routes are
there on an average board ?
thousands ?
mircea_popescu: ok so now...
the number of possible connections is finite.
mircea_popescu: (yet another fundamentally wrong design decision
that sits at
the core of
the us' failure, and can't be fixed)
mircea_popescu: in a
town designed for walking everyone else does fine.
mircea_popescu: ok, here's another
thing. asciilifeform:
there are not (and probably cannot be) 'good' autorouter, but
there are plenty of
terrible ones. << intuitively it seems
to me
there should be good autoruters. why not ?
mircea_popescu: you gotta learn
to computer on a language everyone despises,
that'll keep you from
thinking
too much of fucking languages.
pankkake: their garbage collector is better each version, but
they add more garbage each version
mircea_popescu: this has fundamental causes in
the original
training of
the people involved with
the code, which is why you don't want
to learn
to computer on bullshit fashionable languages.
mircea_popescu: dub: ff crashed because ff << more specifically, because mozilla co STILL can't make a half decent garbage collector, so
they constantly leak memory. yes, even version 69 or w/e
they're up
to by now.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gentoo is arguably a 'bad life decision' - like
the folks who insist on bicycle for commuting << im interested
to hear more of
the latter part, do
tell ?
mircea_popescu: i didn't eat
the pork fried on
the bible/coran/etc for
the record.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: BingoBoingo has an odd penchant for eating byproducts of combusting strange << it's seriously not
that healthy.
mircea_popescu: diametric: use
truecrypt. hehehehe << lol ok.
that was worth it :D
mircea_popescu: basically
the 400bn mkt cap company is in its entirety a hundred people
trying
to maintain a web directory, and we're back
to
the early 90s over here.
mircea_popescu: someone should put
the
time into researching
the matter, it seems clear
to me by now google is entirely manual,
they have no algo left at all.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of mossberg : a google on re/code does NOT pop up
the wikipedia page on
the
top 10 results, like for absolutely any other word with a wikipedia entry.
mircea_popescu: (mostly andrei soldatov, a much more interesting fellow
than mossberg, imo)
mircea_popescu: benkay
the
totality of russian personnel residing on foreign soil would be
the residentura.
the subset doing interesting stuff out of
them (such as, not
the ambassador's personal homebred imported cocksucker - in most places you have
to import women as
they don't grow locally babes
tall enough, blonde enough, fair skinned enough, lithe enough etc etc etc) would be
the... agentura.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: BingoBoingo:
there was
talk a few yrs ago (russian) regarding a mesh net built on modern radio hardware in mexican mountains. supposedly destroyed (via agenture methods, no fancy
tech) << built by
the mexican mafia, was it.

dub IPO's
the Personal Faraday Cage
dub: should be able
to just scan it
chetty: shouldnt be
that hard
to get a filling replaced and check it out
dub: I'd like
to know whats on
the chip
chetty: well he didn't go
to HS
there, but if he did
that might explain a lot
chetty: pankkake,
to be fair Obama hasn't been around long enough
to ruin
the HS kids
chetty: It’s hard
to deny just how poorly Chicago’s public schools are performing when it hits you in
the face. Such is
the case with Paul Robeson High School’s 2014 prom
theme: “This is Are Story.”
davout: as in, it can have revenue but still be unprofitable due
to expenses
pankkake: "If
the most optimistic predictions for am's performance come
true, I will be able
to cover my losses from virtually every other garbage scheme I bought into, plus some." bitcointalk, still looking at a bailout
