mircea_popescu: "any one who expects a source of power from
the
transformation of
these atoms is
talking moonshine"
mircea_popescu: "There is no likelihood man can ever
tap
the power of
the atom.
The glib supposition of utilizing atomic energy when our coal has run out is a completely unscientific Utopian dream, a childish bug-a-boo. Nature has introduced a few fool-proof devices into
the great majority of elements
that constitute
the bulk of
the world, and
they have no energy
to give up in
the process of disintegration."
mod6: i like
that part :>
mod6: he notified NASDAQ of
the vulnerability multiple
times only
to be ignored.
mircea_popescu: apparently not just people are getting fatter. ursides and rodents
too.
mod6: The work is â€"Very unexpected from several points of vi,," said Witten. "The field is still developing very fast, and it is difficult
to guess what will happen or what
the lessons will
turn out
to be."
mircea_popescu: it's not
the case
that i know ALL OF
THE
THINGS
to
the degree i can immediately summarize any argument of any deepness in any field.
mircea_popescu: in any case i wouldn't read
too much into
the happenstance
that i know what c-y is. shit looks cool, it's naturally interesting
to my particular mindset.
benkay: but only in as a joke about your long-running schtick about "shutting up and doing as one's
told by one's betters"
benkay: sales
take forever
to close
benkay: fundamental
tension of my life
benkay: drink a bunch of beers with
the well-capitalized
mircea_popescu: or
theoretically, never even
touching a chess
table, studying graphs or w/e
mircea_popescu: im not sure
there's an imbalance of
that kind. you can get
to be a great chess player either practically, spending all your
time in central park playing chess with
the dudes
benkay: well as soon as i realize i'm studying
tactics i generally stop
benkay: i'm just wondering about
tactics and
then saying
that
tactics aren't
the right place
to focus, strategy is, and
that i have yet
to wrap my head around
the governing strategy
that results in an army of slaves
that
teach you qft.
benkay: many years of doing
this not in
timisoara
mircea_popescu: "dude, you gotta
talk
to X, she's cute/cool/knows der quantz. come by my place friday ?"
benkay: recommendation
to
them or
to bars?
benkay: where did you get slaves
that
taught you about der quantz?
mod6: yah
that, should have posted a link.
mod6: heheh, im with you. i dont have a
ton of
time
to compare each.
benkay: mp how do you know all of
the
things
mircea_popescu: i can't immediately discern and meh, i have a bunch of other shit
to do atm
mircea_popescu: mod6 on
the face of it
there's a brighjt young canadian guy and his grad student
that either found some shortcut in c-y or else are just repackaging it for
the media buzz.
benkay: wouldn't be
the first
time one group of braniacs came up with a new name for an old
thing discovered by mathematicians
mod6: does it change
the idea of a Calabiâ-Yau structure
to
the Amplituhedron?
benkay: nominally
the doing away with space and
time as different
things is new
benkay: i mention it because it references a pretty efficient way
to do some aspects of modeling of quantum states
benkay: a neat collection of math wankery
to be unkind
benkay: "pysicists must also prove
that
the new geometric formulation applies
to
the exact particles
that are known
to exist in
the universe, rather
than
to
the idealized qft
they used
to develop it called maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills
theory.
this model, which includes a "superpartner" particle (gotta look at
that) and
treats space-time as flat, "just happens
to be
the simplest
test case for
these new
benkay: imagine
the shark song from jaws
ozbot: X.IDIFF.SEP has settled pe

freshcoin: i
thought something weird was going on
kakobrekla: btw
trades smaller
than 0.1 are only in -trades from now on
mod6: fair enough. im gonna work on my perl script
then, and i'll get back at you when i'm in need of a username. i'll send you
the 1 BTC
then
too.
mod6: it doesn't
trade much, but i
try
to watch all
the
trades :)
kakobrekla: well, we will cross
that bridge when we come
to it
mod6: no, nothing listed on
that currently. not
that it couldn't come back at some point
though...
mod6: oh,
that works just as well.
kakobrekla: i
think im going
to leave shares on one chan
mod6: well, and i dunno how you'll handle it if F. or B. ever comes back but cross
that bridge when you come
to it i guess.
mod6: (18:47) < kakobrekla> what is not documented is
that
there are 2 chans << so
there are
two sockets? or was
this in ref
to something else?
mod6: yeah, was just reviewing
that. :]
kakobrekla: check
the sauce of sierra chart reader
mod6: yah, just saw
that.
thx.
dub: (vendor presales guy
talking)
dub: in a meeting with chinese vendor, 'those numbers wont add up,
thats chinese counting'
mod6: ok cool,
thanks kako
mod6: ok, payment of 1BTC at
that
time?
mod6: ok i'll work on my bot a bit and get back
to you about
the username.
dub: that will make dexX7 sad, he wanted
to exact last price of every labcoin
trade
dub: does -trades have
teh aggregation?
dexX7: [$exchange] [$ordertype] [$symbol] $quantity @ $last_price (start $first_price, avg $avg_price in $n orders) or so clustered for all "trades" within 1 second..
this is my suggestion or better "all information needed i would be very happy about"
kakobrekla: what is not documented is
that
there are 2 chans
kakobrekla: i
think everything is published on bitcoin-assets
mod6: is
there a faq on
that or how-to? and what is required for auth?
mod6: i just like
to see all
trades from mpex, i dont care about xyzscamexchange
tho
mod6: but if
the consensus is
that you want
to remove
trades < .1,
then maybe i'll just use your socket feed
mod6: i'd like
to see all mpex
trades.
mod6: or what does
the socket feed
that you provide look like? is it JSON or something?
benkay: you can't possibly be
talking about america, dub.
dub: feel like being asked
to
talk
to cavemen about
the viability of internal combustion engines
Duffer1: lol
there is no possible way
that Labcoin and
TheSwede75 aren't outright manipulating
the price with
their
trollnouncements
benkay: on
the
topic of doubling down
benkay: let's start with how
they're all communists and can't figure it out
benkay: your standard white american is completely fucked in
the heaqd.
thestringpuller: I just find it a bit peculiar
the word nigga is inflammatory
to non-blacks.
