00:35 decimation

01:16 asciilifeform slowest day since i came here, lol.
01:16 asciilifeform there was more life here at the height of mp's april party, even.
01:18 BingoBoingo Such hangover
01:20 decimation asciilifeform: agreed
01:26 decimation asciilifeform: have you ever tried to use the 'perf' utility in linux?
01:27 asciilifeform nope
01:27 * asciilifeform partial to similar 'valgrind'
01:28 decimation yeah but perf works on a live software package without interfering too much
01:28 asciilifeform mercifully i've little need for this kind of thing in recent times.
01:28 decimation unfortunately it's ability to fully backtrace a particular function is limited
01:29 decimation I wish I could put a computer in my computer so I can run programs while they are running.
01:30 * asciilifeform goes to bed to ponder the meaning of this

03:55 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you know as a result of the fanfic discussion with kuzetsa it occurs to me : fifty or so years ago, the amateur "thinking man", ie, someone who could read and write and took delight in both, would mostly write (ie, try his amateur hand) science fiction. that is a sort of fanfic to the canon of nature.
03:55 mircea_popescu with the revolution of comfortability, the "same" guy is now writing fanfic to the canon of some derpy author or other, inept substitute for the actual god of the gaps.
03:56 mircea_popescu this is obviously a lot easier to do, it doesn't take nearly as much work to find an exploitable weakness in the "world" predicated by some schmoe working for some us publisher as it takes to find an interesting hole in nature.
03:57 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8161 @ 0.00084714 = 6.9135 BTC [-]
03:57 mircea_popescu for being easier, it's also a lot less interesting, which is why the entire system relies on the walled garden concept : none of these write properly, ie, for the world. they all write for an arbitrarily restricted audience, which makes their task all that easier : athena can turn a single crow black from where it was white. a bunch of sweet singers of michigan can turn a multitude of birds a multitud of colors, and al
03:57 mircea_popescu l pretend to the same earth-shattering effectuality.
03:58 mircea_popescu that pretense is not good, of course, but nor does that matter : they don';t care if their pretense is good, they just want to hold on something. they similarly don't care if their lottery ticket is good, just as long as it's a lottery ticket.
03:58 mircea_popescu quite fucking instructive, all this.

04:05 mircea_popescu punkman do you know how the crow got to be black ?
04:08 punkman mircea_popescu: just looked it up
04:08 mircea_popescu they do this sort of thing a lot, keep rewriting the fundamental myths without citation.
04:09 mircea_popescu basically, if you make 500 "separate" literatures, you get 500 people who can all be employed as dante, the theory goes.
04:09 mircea_popescu this is obviously easier than actually writing something good.
04:09 mircea_popescu so thus you have the "universe" of x, y and z. they're all by and large rewrites of themselves, but hey, it pays the bills.
04:10 mircea_popescu in a culture composed mostly of monolinguistic, ignorant twerps, such as the us (or, for that matter, china), it's not even so very hard to do.

05:41 cazalla does anyone know what amount of coins are held in blockchain.info wallets?
05:43 BingoBoingo Andreas' ghost?
05:47 mircea_popescu cazalla generally nobody really knows what amounts are held in any wallets.
05:50 cazalla mircea_popescu, what about blockchain.info specifically, looking at the amount of wallets created and the demographic that uses web wallets, surely it isn't that high and ball parkable figure?
05:50 RagnarDanneskjol if I had to guess, would say between 10-15% of btc in circulation
05:50 RagnarDanneskjol no basis for estimate
05:50 mircea_popescu cazalla nobody of any relevance uses weballets as a matter of course.
05:51 mircea_popescu maybe as a temporary measure for small sums, but otherwise, there's no good reason and too much risk.
05:54 cazalla reason i ask is that australian listed company digital btc is developing a wallet soon to come out of beta and this site uses it as part of their valuation http://thesophisticatedinvestor.com.au/coverage-video/?filter=digital-BTC&report=initiation-report-september-2014 but i assume there is little money to be made in consumer styled wallets unless you plan to just rob the users
05:54 assbot Coverage Video | The Sophisticated Investor
05:55 cazalla they use the blockchain.info wallet numbers to project their own growth but who would care if you had 100 million users if they barely had any btc to rub together
05:55 punkman VCs like big number
05:57 mircea_popescu cazalla you're describing a collection of clueless yet eager beavers.

14:36 mircea_popescu such a broken question.

14:41 jurov TheNewDeal but pls read after yourself, you're clear as mud
14:41 TheNewDeal But those are the only bets that are considered house bets, or are there additional bets being placed
14:42 jurov no, house bets are only the initial 0.1 ones
14:43 TheNewDeal Got it.
14:44 mircea_popescu you generally see two bets on the highest weight, they're the house bets. if there's three, one's the bet proponent zeroconf.
14:44 mircea_popescu i don't think there ever were 4.

15:22 kakobrekla whatever is in same block is grouped. whatever is in zero conf is grouped.
15:29 TheNewDeal Talking about bets on both sides of course. But I'm done speculating here
15:30 kakobrekla its a different address for different side
15:31 mircea_popescu TheNewDeal a block has to ellapse between when bet is proposed and when it's accepted. for this reason the poster's counter bet would come out in a different weight from his zeroconf

16:10 mike_c 2+2 is the best gambling forum. not so much blog.
16:11 mircea_popescu apparently this beast does not exist. the best goog-fu masters have failed to produce anything but obvious mfas, shockingly garish designs (blue on orange, not even kidding - http://www.winonsports.com/Pages/AboutUs.php ) and assorted crapolade.

16:11 mircea_popescu im shocked there's no trilema of gambling, seriously. considering the piles of interest and the shit on tap, minimal ability would prolly earn someoine a living with less work than a college degree requires.
16:11 mircea_popescu i blame lazy thinking.
16:11 mike_c gambling is a bit broad for a blog. you interested in sports, poker, other?
16:12 mircea_popescu i wanted to have a few reputed voices look over the berkshire bet for their audience.
16:13 mike_c hm.. prop bets.
16:13 mircea_popescu it's really easy to forget just how shitty google has become over time, for as long as one sticks to obscure topics and generally the long tail.
16:13 mike_c probably some of the big time poker players would be good targets.
16:13 mircea_popescu mike_c tbh i don't care for fit past betting, inasmuch as bitcoin is the bottleneck anyway
16:14 mircea_popescu and besides, i'd rather pay bloggers to write than spend money on "advertising".
16:14 mircea_popescu i want more clicks like i want more warts.
16:19 mike_c well, what are you looking for? somebody with a random blog that you could pay to write an article? or somebody important who will write about it if it interests them?
16:19 mike_c i.e. are you looking for coindesk or ascii?
16:20 kakobrekla i doubt is cd
16:21 mike_c if you're looking for somebody smart i'd try to reach out to phil laak. he's a famous poker player who is really into prop bets and has a very smart/analytical mind.
16:21 mircea_popescu mike_c ascii. nothing has changed, i promote the same things, work with the same kinds of people...
16:21 mircea_popescu now that;'s useful. does he blog ?
16:21 mike_c he has an audience, haven't checked for a blog.
16:21 mircea_popescu to paraphrase a famous assbot saying, i've never been as handicapped by my ignorance as when i started a betting site.
16:21 mike_c although i think he recently fucked himself up in an atv accidant
16:22 mircea_popescu who the fuck drives atvs. now that's a dumb bet.
16:22 kakobrekla a tv?
16:22 mike_c ;;ud atv
16:22 gribble http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ATV | An ATV also known as quad is a really cool 4-wheel bike that is all terrain (you can go everywhere with it, water, mud, snow, ice,etc). Lately it has been pimped a  ...

16:28 kakobrekla lol
16:29 cazalla mircea_popescu, not so much a blog but http://www.casinomeister.com/ is well trusted
16:30 mircea_popescu maybe i fundamentally misunderstand something. such as perhaps the market hates reading.
16:30 punkman http://dpennock.com/ this guy writes papers and shit about prediction markets
16:31 kakobrekla such as perhaps the market hates reading. < yup, you have to bash the message by video+audio

21:01 BingoBoingo TomServo: Well I'd speculate that in the US it is easy enough to sell disposable consumer motor vehicles, so durability may not be much of a selling point
21:01 asciilifeform kakobrekla: pretty good one, liked it. (my uni library has it.)
21:03 BingoBoingo TomServo: Also, maybe Toyota views witholding the Hilux from certain markets a for of arms control
21:04 TomServo BingoBoingo: I always thought it had something to do with the aversion to diesel.
21:05 BingoBoingo TomServo: That too, but that's too common sense
