BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: Whales might skip
the spears. Not every romanticizes
the caveman days dude.
KRS1: I imagine after Japan's nuclear problem, we will have some pretty interesting sushi in
the coming years.
BingoBoingo: Bitcoin's biggest
threat isn't retards peddling Doges and other memes. It is cetacians remember
the 60's and skipping spears
to
thermonuclear weapons.
BingoBoingo: Having gotten drunk watching Whale Wars last weekend I have
to say my favorite ocean going ship now is
the Nissin Maru. As delicious as land going pigs are I can only here imagine how delicious
their larger ocean going brethren are.
pankkake: "They are also
the same packaging facility we have been using for our second iteration 65nm chips and it has worked out very well"
BingoBoingo: Well
that's basically how
the entertainment industry works isn't it?
pankkake: SeaWorld obtains sperm from
Tilikum by having a person "get into
the pool and masturbate him with a cow's vagina filled with hot water
BingoBoingo: Sometimes "killer" isn't just a euphamism peopl ascribe
to
their Chihuahua rats
pankkake: "Dukes had visited SeaWorld
the previous day, stayed after
the park closed, and evaded security
to enter
the orca
tank." lol how can you be so stupid
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Only
the world's most badass IRL pokemon. It's Shamu and eats people. Usually genitals first.
BingoBoingo: If I get an awesome boat
though, I am definitely naming it
Tilikum's revenge.
BingoBoingo: It's like how not every
trainer at Seaworld has yet endured
the revenge of
Tilikum. Some of
them actually
took precautions.
BingoBoingo: Those kids just were lucky enough
to not encounter active virii
BingoBoingo: Oh, most virii only are viable if
they have been consistently hydrated. It's why some kids in
the classroom don't get
the illness of
the season.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo perhaps not
the buffalo, as it's hidrated. basically a sack of proteins in solution.
BingoBoingo: If we want
to
talk about biology
the same way BTC developers
talk about code
BingoBoingo: As far as I know
though from my little bit of having sat in classrooms even
the simplest retroviruses
tend
to have more
than a single protein involved,
though
the definition of single protein can be flexible enough
to make possibly an entire buffalo just a carefully arranged protein
BingoBoingo: Yeah. If
they pay
the odds were fair. If
they can't, who could have imagined/scam
BingoBoingo: For event betting finding
the largest pool ever has been more opaque
BingoBoingo: Oh, and
the largest vegas bet I could find for a single player's bet was roughly 700,000 dollars.
BingoBoingo: With a Virus we aren't
talking generally in
terms of proteins
though. Generally
the discussion is providing combinations of proteins in a viable form. Pricing chemically pure puree of microbiota is something
that I dunno has been done.
mircea_popescu: afaik
the costs
to purify arbitrary proteins vary quite widely
BingoBoingo: If you already have a bunch
the cost would probably be comparable
to any other monoclonal drug
BingoBoingo: Maybe stable, but probably
too far gone
to be pathenogenic.
mircea_popescu: anyway, not what it's worth, but what it'd cost. as in,
to make.
BingoBoingo: I imagine next
to nothing mircea_popescu, It only is active in an extrordinarily narrow range of environmental conditions. If you had a dumptruck full on nothing but HIV you'd have a rather useless mass of poorly differentiated protein and little more.
That's why
the whole folding deal matters even if computers suck at
the folding.
VanCleef: hiv is a good way
to lose weight
mircea_popescu: only black people get hiv, so
that's a no go VanCleef.
BingoBoingo: VanCleef: He did find
true love. Just with a lot of women.
VanCleef: i'm still hoping he finds
true love so he becomes more positive in life
BingoBoingo: Honestly if I had cancer nao
the fashionable monoclonal antibodies would scare me more
than classic chemo drugs.
mircea_popescu: i was going
to say something with urmom in it but nothing good came
to mind.
BingoBoingo: VanCleef: I
though
this had already happened. Just because you want
to impose some disney bullshit on Mircea.
mircea_popescu: i mean... you didn't even know
they existed before
the whole kuru incident.
VanCleef: did you find
true love yet mircea?
mircea_popescu: in point of fact,
the vast majority of complexity resources in living organisms are dedicated
to immunity. which is why
the damned
things work "in most cases"
mircea_popescu: they'd be a lot scarier if
they hadn't been around for practically ever with absolutely no ill effect.
BingoBoingo: diametric:
They might be scary, but I'll be damned if
they don't obey
the rules of good functional programming.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I know
the cows don't seem
to complain. Since society seems cool
to serving long pig, it would probably be possible
to use
the penetrating variants of
the devices which have been banned from
the beef industry since
the UK got
their proteins
twisted.
diametric: speaking of.. I need
to pop open some dells for asciilifeform
diametric: well, perhaps
the compiler diddling does not exist in
the wild, but I
think we have sufficient evidence
that chip fab diddling does.
mircea_popescu: mebbe i didn't pay enough attention, but it seems diff classes of
things
mircea_popescu: whereas
the induc
thing was just able
to infect at compile
time
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's hw
they kill cows, at least afaik.
the concussion bold
thing
ozbot: ACM Classic: Reflections on
Trusting
Trust
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well,
there comes in my suggestion for a concussive implement like a captive bolt device followed by exsanguination. I don't
think it is just for
the state
to do
these
things unless it is bloody.
diametric: W32/Induc-A was spread
through a Delphi compiler
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo inasmuch as
the brain itself can't feel pain, sectioning of
the spinal chord is pretty much it. hence
the guillotine and such. probably
the best solution
there is, but derps don't like it because it's bloody
mircea_popescu: you know,
the self-perpetuating compiler
thing still hasn't been shown in
the wild
diametric: also I'm assuming you own a semiconductor fab
too.
diametric: KRS1: did you also write
the compiler
too?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
they've got cameras everywhere, now hooking up
the fridge and
the
thermostat, i'm looking forward
to
the netware hitachi wands
KRS1: (how many
times I've seen)
KRS1: I sometimes like
to refer
to
the
term "feature creep"..can't
tell you how many
times good devices or software were
turned into shat by
trying
to make it better.
mircea_popescu: well definitely
the safest fridge is one
that... you know, just fridges.
KRS1: the safest computer is one
that you wrote
the software for and is disconnected from any network imo
KRS1: idiotic..i always
thought we were smarter
than
that..sadly I'm consistently let down in
that regard.
pankkake: my coffee machine needs one
though
mircea_popescu: need. people do
things just because
things can be done
these days.
KRS1: HAH love it. My whole
thought process on "The Internet of
Things" is really simple..does a refridgerator or a nuclear reactor really need a connection
to
the public network?
ozbot: Hackers Use A Refrigerator
To Attack Businesses - Business Insider
BingoBoingo: That was a while back
though when I wan n00bier
than I am nao.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: I
tried getting whole DVD rips in
the namecoin blockchain, but
those blocks wouldn't propagate and if
they did Elegius and
the other big pools ignored
their having been mined.
KRS1: i like messing around with concepts like
that..back in
the day i used
to play with
the
tcp buffer size on
the internet and lan's and stuff
BingoBoingo: The only kind of fun play with altchain I've found was name coin when I
tried sneaking bigger and bigger chunks of arbitrary data in
their block chain.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: if you already have
the bitcoins I imagine "pricing risk" has more lucrative opportunities available
than daytrading.
KRS1: this is why i daytrade a bit..i'm not looking
to
touch what i have
KRS1: lately i've been looking
to pick up some btc for people i know but dont want
to buy from an exchange
to get
them a good deal
KRS1: i'm a miner from a while back..i never have
to buy, if i do its for altcoins just
to mess around with.
KRS1: i wasnt even soliciting..somoene in litecoin-pricetalk was looking
to do a deal when he said "someone make offer" and all i said was "whats a good offer
to you"
BingoBoingo: KRS1:
Told you OTC is like
that. Can barely walk into
that room without PM spam.
pankkake: nor seem
to know about
the existing stuff
pankkake: the bitcloud guys only have "ideas" and are missing
the biggest problem
to solve (proof of bandwith).
they are asking others
to come up with it, basically
KRS1: idk i could be wrong just smells funny..just fuckin around with
this guy
tbh
KRS1: asked if he was on otc web of
trust ,
that was his next response lol
KRS1: Got a scammer on
the line.
KRS1: if it didnt crash
the exchanges
KRS1: it would prob rebound very quickly i
think
Duffer1: a dump like
that would be awesome
KRS1: hope its just a bad rumor..doesnt make sense..nobody in
their right minds would do
that\
gribble: A market order
to sell 200000 bitcoins right now would net 37529785.6578 USD and would
take
the last price down
to 1.5969 USD, resulting in an average price of 187.6489 USD/BTC. | Data vintage: 0.0838 seconds
KRS1: chatter is
talking about a dump of 200K btc on
the market
ozbot: We want
to replace YouTube, Dropbox, Facebook, Spotify, ISPs, and more with decentralized apps based
Duffer1: "We have a nice solution, and
that is called
The Bitcloud Cryptography Law (BCL). It is a serie of laws, an advanced version of Proof of Stake, implemented
to ensure
that everyone is acting as
they should. Every single
thing in
the Bitcloud is governed by
those laws, and
there will be judges and veredicts, so only when
the entire net agrees, money is generated or
transactions approved."
KRS1: nothing
to mine really..wtf.
Duffer1: it looks interesting, but
they're already listed as a scamcoin
KRS1: Bandwith looks
to be
the metric for which
the services are billed if I'm not mistaken.
This looks great.
KRS1: Duffer1: looks
to me like much more
than bandwidth..in addition
to cloud services, with
that comes
the expense of storage,
time invested in software engineering (VMware comes
to mind), patching, security, provisioning, etc.
