ThickAsThieves: isnt that the same thing as a shitty API?
pankkake: as usual
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: As a suspect in a serial killing.
gribble: (google <search> [--{filter,language} <value>]) -- Searches google.com for the given string. As many results as can fit are included. --language accepts a language abbreviation; --filter accepts a filtering level ('active', 'moderate', 'off').
mircea_popescu: so your gen II process is in theory 3x as efficient in power as gen I, but if you get 99% reliability on gen I and 35% on gen II well... gen I is still more bang per watt.
mircea_popescu: which means it uses 7 times as much power as it actually needs.
mircea_popescu: (risk can be mitigated a lot if you have a very well connected node, by blasrting your withheld block just as soon as anyone relays a competitor.
dexX7: blockchain uses utc as time, does anyone know?
MilkyLep: Whats the reason as of now? Just woke up a bit ago
jurov: seems it's the same thing that sell here as Goral Master for 10 euro/bottle
mircea_popescu: reeses be a darling leave the link as a comment ? will ye ?
reeses: mircea_popescu: well, it was also funny when we would have execs visit from LVMH corp and they'd discover that Moët and Hennessey were both "gangsta" type products as well. They were not happy.
Namworld: And as such guilds could build towns/castles and such.
Namworld: There was NPC towns tho and it wasn't as awesome.
asciilifeform: usable as liquid fuel.
asciilifeform: jurov: forget about transistors, take the cost of actually melting Si as the base minimum
mircea_popescu: in a year 2x as good tiles will be sold also at 500 also on a 5 year promise
mircea_popescu: "every luser" = rich white folk who can afford to pay 5x as much upfront.
mircea_popescu: you will get roughly half the cost of your power usage back as bitcoin, i iamgine.
asciilifeform: anyone feel like calculating the minimal energy cost of fabbing an asic? use a single die's worth of Si 'enthalpy of fusion' as the irreducible cost.
asciilifeform: so, end result is something like: you can buy a BTC water heater that puts out 1% of the joules put in as rf, and it buys you a lottery ticket a day.
asciilifeform: modern VLSI is very rf-noisy. you could fix this by fabbing the ASICs as ECL (emitter coupled logic)
asciilifeform: one little tidbit: vs. a resistance heater, a BTC heater will piss out considerably more energy as RF.
mircea_popescu: such as you know, the plant, the lines, the transformers, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for as long.
mircea_popescu: now, for as long as 1th mines 100 dollars worth of bitcoin, it is perfectly economical to heat with the miner tiles.
asciilifeform: question then is: ebay is chock-full of FPGA miner rigs being sold off for pennies on the dollar. why isn't anyone buying them up for use as space heaters?
benkay: in that someone rounded up a pile of capital to build absolutely sufficient boards and are now going to sell those boards as heaters to building builders and renovators, recouping their capital by capturing the coins so generated
mircea_popescu: it does have that by default by the time people are putting it in as space heating
asciilifeform: the argument i was trying to make is that mining needs a certain minimal return for it to make sense even as a space heater replacement.
mircea_popescu: as such prices will float to balance.
mircea_popescu: step 1 : no proofs. people clearly delineate whart proof is needed. step 2 : list of irrelevant crud masquerading as response to step 1. people clearly delineate why this doesn't qualify
Duffer1: "Probably no more pictures as they only do create more confusion." clearly what they need now is even LESS communication
Namworld: Bargain as in haggling.
benkay: "papers are to tweets as academics are to americans"
benkay: although they could just as easily be just as worthless
mircea_popescu: (except he didn't build anything as the t machine is an abstraction, but anyway)
mircea_popescu: a privilege is a remnant of personal sovereignity recognised and perpetuated by some ulterior power such as some state or other.
mircea_popescu: for instance, they'd state that my "fuck you if you get sick" above reflects my own priviledged thinking as someone who;s healthy.
mircea_popescu: back at reality ranch, us matches the rest or gets cast to the side as any random cumrag.
mircea_popescu: anyway! here's the thing with sickness as defined by the western mind :
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps we should all switch to hiring bacteria as developers: they don't fall ill, virtually immortal... pinnacle of evolution!
mircea_popescu: "I’ve been out of the business for so long I’m about as rusty on the topic as your average American business man is when it comes to doing business."
benkay: the stranger is quite as good as either."
TheSeven: not that I consider that good in any way, but not quite as bad as tom...
Diablo-D3: basic atleast admitted they didnt have a product early on and refunded as much as possible
TheSeven: just to make that clear: From the insight that I have into that project (which isn't really much), I have no reason to believe that it is a scam. It probably also isn't quite as screwed up as bASIC was. But I can't really judge upon whether it will succeed in the long run.
TheSeven: just like it was with the bASIC project as well, which exploded mostly due to communication problems and business mistakes
mircea_popescu: as the book thinned out it dropped to 92s/91s
ThickAsThieves: well the people will use IPO price as springboard

bobbabad: --- TheSevem is now known as coconut
mircea_popescu: tough markets these, doing nothing much that anyone can do just as well.

mircea_popescu: of course it's not really useful for posts, as those speak of something definite and you can't have parts of the message change
Kleeck: It is a TV series as well.
Kleeck: The new could be lackluster as well, which would be baaaad.
Duffer1: watch that thread as the price moves, it's just so much fail
Kleeck: favorite quote thus far from a mining operation - present to you Labcoin on the date they will prove they are actually hashing: "We do not have 10 TH of chips out of nowhere, we said that we will setup block labeling as soon as we reach that speed, which could be on the first days of october, so in "about" two weeks, or mid october. We will outsource deployment and assembly for the next batch of c
nubbins`: tweaked the stroke a bit. top line looks heavy with the same stroke as the bottom, so it's a touch lighter

nubbins`: stroke in headline as well, nice catch
