mircea_popescu: he gets his 2-3 mn and a 50% ROI to go along with it.
mircea_popescu: that's the end of it, btc will never be under 3-400 after that.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: how do we get 1bn into BTC besides robbing someone? this is taking too long
gribble: Estimated percent change in difficulty this period | -13.2747973704 % based on data since last change | -15.1045589685 % based on data for last three days
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller : the 1bn dollar plan.
thestringpuller: who do you think I'm going to rob
jurov: thestringpuller, was it you who bitched about some rich friends that can't be convinced to go btc and instead smoke weed?

mircea_popescu: the next best is nobody coming to market.
mircea_popescu: that is not going to happen with the sort of muppets doing it
Anduck: afaik there are some stuff current btc-asic makers are fighting
mircea_popescu: the ideal situation would have been for 2-3-4 companies coming to market within weeks
Bugpowder: if you have the funding, you can get it done, eventually
Anduck: but might take time if there isnt some very good hw makers making one
Anduck: it's totally possible to make an asic
Anduck: or well they can but in the end, nah
thestringpuller: it's gonna tank the BTC
Bugpowder: hope I get my hands on them
Bugpowder: There is a new project that is going to do much more advanced probes with a $5M budget
Bugpowder: not sure if that would be an issue with commerical ASICs though
thestringpuller: how much were the NRE costs initially?
Bugpowder: balancing the stress levels of each layer
Bugpowder: just getting the probes off the chip and flat took over a year of refinement
thestringpuller: how much time goes into them
Bugpowder: different set of issues though.
Bugpowder: I have used them and also done some custom design work in house
Bugpowder: you can record from many sites in the awake behaving brain
Bugpowder: the most interesting stuff you can do with the MEAs is studying retina
Bugpowder: and brain slices are dying and have no connections to other areas
Bugpowder: There aren't that many cool applications for these arrays in a dish though. the brain isn't flat
thestringpuller: I have mad respect for those in Biology
mircea_popescu: lmao on the interwebs all the dogs don't know they're dogs anymore.

Bugpowder: the right sequence can auto-fold in the right environment
thestringpuller: but it seems this device folds properly
thestringpuller: hold on tryig to find the article
mircea_popescu: the folding is the big problem
jcpham: i mis-read things
Bugpowder: what have they synthesized that has folded properly
jcpham: i thought i read the other day how they took sperm plus egg from different hosts
jcpham: from nothing to human
jcpham: i think sequencing is now like 98% accurate
thestringpuller: that can take DNA gene slices
thestringpuller: dude they made a chip
jcpham: i don't actually have to contribute to absorb it all
jcpham: fuck that place
iz: yeah, a while ago they made news when lockheed bought one of their things
jcpham: and the technical discussion was basically like " it isn't a quantum computer"
mircea_popescu: jcpham they took funding a while ago.
jcpham: it seems like i read the announcement on that company a month or so back
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: remember our discussion about the composite Cocoa trading
