tomorrow could probably give us $10,000 bitcoin simply because bitcoin is backed by drama
Vexual: who has he been
talking
to, his english has changed
Vexual: are
the power specs on
target?
BingoBoingo: Eh, on
the optimistic side everyone advertising smaller nodes at
this point hasn't shipped anything yet so he might actually have a better implementation at 40 nm. Still
though mining is for suckers.
ozbot: ASICMINER: Entering
the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

than forum
threads
pankkake: I should blog again. I read somewhere
that blogging is a muscle
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Useful content
takes
time
to write. So far
the best example I have is
the RealSolid/McxNow post where I dig
through forums
threads long considered dead. Actual original synthesis which quotes nothing while still being informative is rare,
ThoughtCatalog reportedly is a dumping ground for essays
that pretend
to do
that
though.
pankkake: eh… well if all
the "managers" read him
the world would be a better place by far

the former is wrong
mircea_popescu: "today we're putting joe in
the fog chamber and

mircea_popescu: what if nuclear physics was limited
to nuclear physicists ?
mircea_popescu: take
the most egregious, lowest hanging example : 9x% of all psychology studies are done on psych undergrads.
mircea_popescu: comprehension of
those
two pages would cut out a large chunk of fraud perpetrated currently, both in politics and commerce.
mircea_popescu: it's a rare police officer

pankkake: hehe. "UX" is like fedoras,
the first sign of imposture
mircea_popescu: it's not
that
the
test is "faulty", it's
that
the people using it do not comprehend statistics.

the other end, but if you look from
the results end it's a different story.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re
the field

the women

test.

the plane crash!

they replaced it with "special interest group studies are pointless"
