punkman: mircea_popescu: about that simulation, there are 20 bots, they meet everyone else 5 times and play for N rounds each time they meet, after each round there's a 0.995 probability they will stop.
mircea_popescu: so make 400 bots, 20 of each type, meet everyone 500 times and play for n where the probability is .95
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: forgot the '(yet)'.
punkman: if anyone wants to describe a bot, I'll code it

mircea_popescu: specifically : a) each bot has a 0 to 20% chance of knowing how their opponent played against each other bot. this is fixed for the respective bot.
mircea_popescu: b) each bot has a 0 to 20% chance of knowing how their opponent player against each bot of their type
mircea_popescu: c) each bot has idem 0 to 20 of their type and also 0 to 5 of all types.
mircea_popescu: now, on this information, each both has an ego, defined as the balance between the weight they give their own history vs the collected world history
mircea_popescu: a bot that takes a betrayal against itself as badly as a betrayal against the world has average ego.
mircea_popescu: the bot that only cares of its own history has max, and the bot that ignores its own has min.
punkman: they get bigger number when they win
mircea_popescu: and srlsly, ditch the dumbass "total wot score" model they use
mircea_popescu: how people pretending to be in math and philosophy can be this fucking dumb is beyond me.
mircea_popescu: next they're going to count the holes in the mains socket to get the voltage.
punkman: the bots only know past moves during the current round as it is
punkman: no it's a list of all previous moves
punkman: no knowledge about world/environment
mircea_popescu: not necessarily a bad thing, unless im having a brain fart
mircea_popescu: After seven years of the new regime, I had the opportunity to compare the class of 1999 with the class of 1992. In 1992 I set an course in Artificial Intelligence requiring students to solve six exercises, including building a Prolog interpreter. In 1999, six exercises had shrunk to one; which was a 12 line Prolog program for which eight weeks were allotted for students to write it. A special class was laid on for stu
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dents to learn this and many attended, including students who had attended a course incorporating logic programming the previous term. It was a battle to get the students to do this, not least because two senior lecturers criticised the exercise as presenting too much of a challenge to the students.
punkman: " should use only static initialization variables, randomness, and past moves in order to make a decision. No other state should be updated/saved/taken into account."
punkman: "TODO: Is that 'no other state' thing valid? What if a bot wants to do some behavior only once, but when exactly it does so is randomly determined? I believe this could require some saved information besides the history of moves, but this seems like a valid strategy."
mircea_popescu: If a 12 year-old were to write 'I fink that Enid Blyton iz bettern than that Emily Bronte bint cos she has written loads more books' then one could reasonably excuse the spelling as reflective of the stupidity of the mind that produced the content.
punkman: I'm gonna call the form Iterated Closed-Bag Exchange, more relevant
punkman: from Hofstadter: "Two people meet and exchange closed bags, with the understanding that one of them contains money, and the other contains a purchase. Either player can choose to honor the deal by putting into his or her bag what he or she agreed, or he or she can defect by handing over an empty bag."
mircea_popescu: punkman actually, this could have a direct application. let people back the bots, buy shares.
punkman: yeah it's not that hard to come up with a simple bot and enter the tournament
mircea_popescu: hat we now have in academia is a situation where intelligent men and women prostitute themselves to an ideal which no intelligent person could believe. In short they are living a lie.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: western women aspire to the respect of men, while living their western lives ?! lolk.

assbot: A Reader Writes of his Experience Among the Dark Enlightenment Types
mircea_popescu: - I never met any of the higher Eldars, but I did once meet an Eldar in Training. I don’t know his real name but people called him Legolas. He had long blond hair, was dressed like a 19th century count, and wore a pendant that had both a Christian Cross and Thor’s Hammer on it.
mircea_popescu: " The Dark Enlightenment allegedly has millions of dollars of money to play with."
mircea_popescu: Different forms of formal attire were required for each day (tuxedos, 3-piece suits, etc)
mircea_popescu: "For the initial oath taking, everyone must swear on a copy of Darwin’s Origin of Species, just to show their fidelity to HBD"
punkman: I put on my robe and wizard hat
mircea_popescu: they're doing the sweaing on the ilyad and drinking out of specially made pornoi cups
mircea_popescu: - They also have all their own secret handshakes, and their own terminology [like the Cathedral ("political correctness"), thedening ("re-establishing ethnic group identity"), genophilia ("love of one's own race"), NRx ("neoreaction"), etc.].
mircea_popescu: "But of course, cannibalism is not PC either and embracing something simply and solely on the basis that it is a “reaction” is one of the stupidest things humans can do. You can’t build a life on protest and reaction." <<< ahahaha
mircea_popescu: the entire fucking left is built on reaction, from the 60s onwards.

BingoBoingo: Eh, why not just use a couple thousand shades of purple arranged such that no two splotches have a delta greater than 3
mircea_popescu: our colors are wind and that shot of pain urmom felt that one time.
BingoBoingo: Picking colors I think the priority should be, what would be the biggest pain in nubbins` ass...
mircea_popescu: Mr. Brown: Lemme tell you what 'Like a Virgin' is about. It's all about this cooze who's a regular fuck machine, I'm talking morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick. Then one day she meets this John Holmes motherfucker and it's like, whoa baby, I mean this cat is like Charles Bronson in the 'Great Escape', he's digging tunnels. Now, she's gettin' the serious dick action and
mircea_popescu: she's feeling something she ain't felt since forever. Pain. Pain. It hurts her. It shouldn't hurt her, you know, her pussy should be Bubble Yum by now, but when this cat fucks her it hurts. It hurts just like it did the first time. You see the pain is reminding a fuck machine what it once was like to be a virgin. Hence, 'Like a Virgin'.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: is it still too late to get trackign added? <<< ahahaha no dude, it was too late before, but we've been doing -t for a while so now it's too early
HeySteve: hi mircea_popescu, I'd like to talk about F.DERP now if that's convenient
HeySteve: ok the companies concerned are BitPay and BitGo?
assbot: tits from:mircea haslink:true
HeySteve: ok from the original post (checking for new ones) I take it the reasoning is that they're overvalued?
mircea_popescu: well, more properly put, the reasoning is that they will never make in the course of their business enough money to pay back that round of investment.
mircea_popescu: so someone with 30mn looking to invest in bitcoin would have been better served by buying bitcoin than participating in the series a.
mircea_popescu: this, of course, is a very old story : with the exception of mpex listed corps, it is universally true of any other exchange or broad group.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13700 @ 0.00080808 = 11.0707 BTC [+]
HeySteve: I don't know much about BitGo honestly, but it seems the success of BitPay is very closely linked with Bitcoin's success. doesn't that make this something of a bet against Bitcoin's continued merchant adoption?
mircea_popescu: the success of bitpay has exactly zero to do with the success of bitcoin, is the problem.
mircea_popescu: they're trying to leech it, which only works for so long. what's worse, their burn rate is killing them.
HeySteve: ok it sounds like you've taken a very close look into their financials. could you explain what you mean by burn rate?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: lol bitcoin-assets will develop irc tools that will give irccloud a run for their money... << will ? seriously ? show me irc tools that can compare.
ThickAsThieves: bitpay also has to worry about someone like PayPal coming in "Thanks for warming our seat!"
mircea_popescu: coinbase is already moving into that, with no difficulty.
mircea_popescu: of course, coinbase is a piece of shit, but there';s no requirement that next competitor is also a piece of shit
HeySteve: any plans to add further companies?
ThickAsThieves: bitpay/coinbase only chance is landing exclusive contracts with poor terms for the merchant (still a leech job)
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: what kind of gullible fuck pays to bang a virgin? << if you pay to fuck in general, why not.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve yes, as mentioned in the article. any corps that make bold claims in the future will go in there.
ThickAsThieves: this is why they brag and compete over new notable merchants, it's all they have - those contract terms
BingoBoingo: HeySteve: Bitpay is sponsoring a fucking bowl game. They probably spent ~10% of their last round on a notoriously poor form of advertising.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 the guy's own money! he can spend it any old way he wants!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves a business model based on tricking people isn't a good match for ipo anyway
HeySteve: BingoBoingo, yeah I saw that... will it at least be seen on national TV?
ThickAsThieves: i dont mind BitPay though, they are taking one for the team
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i don't mind them either, honestly, but a) people found out about gallippi's past, and generally, the thing's coming apart. gotta cut them loose.
BingoBoingo: HeySteve: It will be on ESPN with the fifty or so other bowl games that happen in december

HeySteve: so is to correct to F.DERP as a hedge fund?
mircea_popescu: dub:heh, -assets doxxes NSA two weeks before snowden << ain't history a wunderbar thing :D
HeySteve: right, and BitGo, what is the reasoning behind including them?
ThickAsThieves: i dunno, it's kinda a sad hedge, being that those companies are relying on bitcoin
mircea_popescu: bitcoin shit is weird by nature, but hedge fund generally means "this pool of money doing exotic shit"
mircea_popescu: HeySteve that they announced a 10mn round. from the article :
mircea_popescu: For everyi Series A / seed funding announced by the circlejerk that is either in excess of 1 million USD or for a company valued through such funding over 100 million USD, I will create a synthetic asset on MPEx.

ThickAsThieves: someone needs to make sure these VCs know about your offer, they can haz MOAR BitPay
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves by the set of lawsuit threats i would guess they know.
mircea_popescu: funny how blinders work, you know ? these people have... finance lawyers. who went to school and lived in a pond
mircea_popescu: what do you mean this guy could not care less ? that is not possible ?
HeySteve: well... it seems many startups are raking in king's ransoms just because there's a lot of enthusiasm around Bitcoin... so by shorting, you are risking exposure to these kind of bubbles?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2560 @ 0.00080902 = 2.0711 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: yes. can you name people that got rich in the dot com bubble ?
HeySteve: hmm many got rich then poor in quick succession
HeySteve: few were wise enough to sell or short at the top
mircea_popescu: (and i don't mean "were briefly rich during the bubble". i mean "are rich today and were not before that")
mircea_popescu: Namworld: Getting there slowly. << what's your horizon, next year like ?
HeySteve: I think mostly the guys who sold their companies during the mania made out like bandits
ThickAsThieves: i dont think the btc startup bubble will be nearly as bad
HeySteve: I hear what you're saying, the art is in the timing
mircea_popescu: HeySteve no timing involved. if you sell your corp in the bubble and walk away you shorted the bubble.
ThickAsThieves: i think the need to buy bitocin in addition to any VC investment related to a bitcoin co is obvious
HeySteve: mircea_popescu yes in a sense, I know a guy who was offered a fortune for his finance site but held on
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves never estimate just how lemming-like finance types are/.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, he's very comfortable I'd say, retired now, but he could have been loaded
mircea_popescu: that's the one profession that most selects for lemming qualities. more so than military even
HeySteve: yeah moneyweb.co.za if you're interested
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, any similar products to F.DERP which you're aware of?
ThickAsThieves: cuz all the accountibility leads to all these illusions of predicting things
mircea_popescu: punkman: they just called 3 times to sell me a new ISP << they call my phone here too. to sell me... comcast and shit.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve not really. i don't think the world has spawned yet such an asshole so as to be able to match with me.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu heh some people probably won't appreciate this fund, but it expands an investor's options so I don't see the downside
mircea_popescu: but daily call logs have at the end : "spam - comcast, netflix, pizzahut" etc
mircea_popescu: HeySteve the downside is that it sinks the hype, which is a very major problem.
mircea_popescu: so in their perspective, this is a disaster of commons sort of situation : a bunch of people work to inflate bubbles, all it takes to ruin theireffort is one guy with a pin
rithm: there's a certain judge and we just (not i) a suborndinate installed his new computer
rithm: ira balances laying out
rithm: checking out balances laying about
rithm: no personal security
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, why not just create futures or some other instruments over these companies, which could be traded long or short?
mircea_popescu: HeySteve too much hassle with future chains. if you want them short you buy f.derp, if you want them long you just get to select d.whatever
mircea_popescu: this because logically nobody who wants them short cares which
mircea_popescu: whereas people wanting them long prolly want to stock pick
ThickAsThieves: btw ive been sending some traders to check out bitbet, hopefully some stick

l337: thanks. any plans on purchasing JD if doog is up for selling it mircea_popescu?
TheNewDeal: how does JD continue to exist? Don't stupid people go broke?
mike_c: on the one hand, casinos have been around since.. forever. on the other, JD volume has been dropping.
mike_c: like who? its dropped a lot. set new all-time-lows 3 out of 6 months this year.
mike_c: could be player-fatigue (rolling dice is only so much fun). could be competition, but i don't know who.
mike_c: still though, 60k in wager volume a month is a nice business.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete teh court finds your arguments persuasive.
mircea_popescu: mike_c that "a month" kinda impleis it's stable. it's not that stable it seems.
mike_c: hm. a return to 6 digit wager volume would surprise me. but it's quite possible new management could make it happen.
mike_c: first 8 months were all > 100k, last 4 months were all well below.
