Bugpowder: I think he already lost it
mircea_popescu: but anyway, sounds like typical gambling addict.
Bugpowder: without playing in almost any tournies
Bugpowder: Apparently (pre-seals) he got people to stake him $220,000 for a series of about 50 tourneys. After a few tourneys, he started gambling on the side with the money
markedathome: evoorhees: the sd app is out of sync by about 0.05, possibly caused by a crash that happened that took out the machine (machine not the app), so don't know if app is misreading something somewhere
mircea_popescu: i dun know that 1
markedathome: mircea_popescu: snorted it all accosrding to that chat log

markedathome: but shouldn't ev be busy with twitter?
Bugpowder: all future bets converge to ev
markedathome: evoorhees: is the balance on the sd app supposed to reflect that of the amount in the deposit address?
mircea_popescu: ya but it converges to ev over ALL time-space continuums
mircea_popescu: how does that work ?!
Bugpowder: from this baseline
Bugpowder: statistically its expected to continue to grow at ev
mircea_popescu: well, no, statistically it's expected to converge to ev
Bugpowder: but it is expected to keep going up
