asciilifeform: first move to last.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Depends on when in the game RNG chess kicks in
BingoBoingo: Whether that happens I imagine depends on the first move that gets picked.
truffles: how are we today BingoBoingo?
BingoBoingo: It depends on the RNG.
asciilifeform: would you still feel that you got your money's worth?
asciilifeform: or say, he decides to play by picking legal moves from an rng.
BingoBoingo: I dunno that I'd be able to appreciate playing a real Kasparov game since most of the beauty happens in the middle and endgame normally
BingoBoingo: Well the top player now Carlsen plays as though he just pulls whatever opening books reddit suggests he play
asciilifeform: you ask why, he tells you 'that's my style now'
BingoBoingo: AnywaysI could lose to web wakers just about as easily as I can lose to Kasparov.
asciilifeform: and you find out that he was getting reddit wankers' moves in a spy earphone
asciilifeform: idea is, you're paying him (or pick another favourite) to get a real feel for the style
BingoBoingo: His entire brand nao is pretty much built on the fact he doesn't play
BingoBoingo: I dunno what the price to get Kasparov to actually play nao would be though.
BingoBoingo: If I was playing on IRC I'd be rather indifferent. I anticipate no one I play chess with on IRC actually playing. I just assume they are all using fruit or whatever the fashionable engine is nao a days. The value in playing Kasparov would be the trash talk.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what would you think if you had paid a little for, say, kasparov to play a game with you, and found out that he's taking a vote from web wankers as to each move instead of playing?
BingoBoingo: The programmer is a specialist tasked with making Java do something in one particular case.
BingoBoingo: The baseball writer is a specialist tasked with preserving the cultural memory of a pursuit a large part of the population has an affinity for.

BingoBoingo: Perfect for people who want to short BTC and long potatos
BingoBoingo: Nah, this will be the stupidest and most predictible asset in BTC history.
BingoBoingo: Maybe in July I'll open the S.Potato delivers BitBet, but this might be a bit small for BitBet
kakobrekla: seems normal to hedge some
kakobrekla: yeah well btc is clearly on top now and potatos are on the bottom
BingoBoingo: This has to be like a 0.0025 BTC business
BingoBoingo: And then sell them for BTC
BingoBoingo: It will be insured too. If the potatos don't grow I'll buy some at the store.
kakobrekla: a that
BingoBoingo: Imma farm like 10 potato plants. ANd when they grow ptotatos I'll sell them for BTC
BingoBoingo: I think I need to make a cryptostocks account. Imma make a mining farm. S.Potato
BingoBoingo: Well, one just has to care to check the S.BBET contract.
kakobrekla: i imagine he is that dumb he would try that, but my info is easily obtainable
BingoBoingo: This is seriously a bad precedent though, if only people who fell for scams pointed out scams every scam would be unconditionally loved decades after having gone totes scam

BingoBoingo: Yeah. I picked that think up when I worked at a mall kiosk the year before BTC happened

Azelphur: haha I have a phone and tablet that I use regularly
ozbot: Unsee — Secure and private temporary image hosting
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Well the wrist to metal ratio on this pushed me to get the red/[and][or]/green one.

BingoBoingo: That fucker feel like exactly how you might imagine a third of a pound of diving equiptment feels on the wrist
BingoBoingo: I have one of these already, but the description starts lying on the second word when it describes this thing as "sleek" http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/Seiko-Mens-Orange-Monster-Automatic-Silver-Stainless-Steel-Watch/8338833/product.html
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Too gone for that. Vexual has all of the tools he needs to become Vexual. He just needs to control the mess nao.
BingoBoingo: It is good to see though that even Vexual can get stocked up here http://www.overstock.com/Health-Beauty/Incontinence/1485/cat.html?TID=TN:HB:Incont
BingoBoingo: pankkake: I'm just looking for something shiny I can pick up while paying tribute to new used electronics BTC Jesus (pronounced like the Janitor rather than the savior)

twizt: its a thinkPad
twizt: i smoke weed around my laptop all the time
BingoBoingo: I really only need 10-20 minutes of battery so I can take the thing out to the garage for smoke breaks, then again that is prolly why I keep having to replace the fucking fan
asciilifeform: without doing anything to the original (stateful!) charge IC
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There have only been a couple revision to this model, but to the best of my knowledge the battery is identicle until the one released a couple months ago.
asciilifeform: what the chinese normally do is spot-weld new Li cells into an old battery
pankkake: I wouldn't be surprised. and it's expensive too
coinslot: cointerra and bitfury need to ship already so PETA can start mining! grrrr
asciilifeform: maybe i'm just unlucky, but they never get the charge controller (aka 'fuel gauge') right.
asciilifeform: pankkake: i bought dozens of aftermarket batteries for various gadgets over the years, and not one had anything like the performance of the original.
pankkake: asciilifeform: there are many third party services making batteries, so I wouldn't be so sure about that
twizt: yea the mac style
BingoBoingo: the keyboard has chiclet keys, but they have enough curve on top to make navigation something other than a pain
BingoBoingo: twizt: It has the clit and a trackpad
twizt: with the red ball mouse
twizt: or the old one
twizt: you have the mac style keyboard?
