diana_coman: mircea_popescu, hearding together all the mites, here's the last count: 21 at 640q; 105 at 414q; 21 at 403q; 588 at 378q; 21 at 364q; 51 at 265q; 42 at 173q [05:08]
diana_coman: !~calc 4.8*1000*(21*6.4+105*4.14+21*4.03+588*3.78+21*3.64+51*2.65+42*1.73) [05:10]
jhvh1: diana_coman: 4.8*1000*(21*6.4+105*4.14+21*4.03+588*3.78+21*3.64+51*2.65+42*1.73) = 15170976 [05:10]
mircea_popescu: nice! trade me diana_coman [06:34]
shinohai: diana_coman: Is your map script no longer available or did it just move? [07:20]
mircea_popescu: o noes! [07:25]
diana_coman: hm let me check that shinohai - it should be there [07:44]
shinohai: kk ... I got a "Pagina inaccesibila." when I go there [07:46]
diana_coman: fixed now [07:50]
diana_coman: I probably wiped it out by mistake last time I updated the cookbook [07:50]
shinohai: Thanks! :D [07:50]
diana_coman: thanks for pointing it out to me as I wouldn't have seen it in ages [07:50]
shinohai: stores backup to his eulora page [07:50]
diana_coman: hm, looking at that old map with so much white space, lol [07:52]
shinohai: I had a copy but well before I actually started playing, suppose I lost it. [07:53]
mircea_popescu: lol [07:53]
shinohai: During my anond phase [07:53]
shinohai: writes a daemon called that changes your linux distro randomly every day [07:54]
mircea_popescu: ahaha [07:55]
mircea_popescu: that poor guy. [07:55]
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ready [07:55]
mircea_popescu: daqt feeling when you owe 17 coins, and you HAVE 17 coins. [07:56]
diana_coman: enjoy! [07:56]
diana_coman: can you take that table with them [07:56]
diana_coman: ? [07:56]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman how many tables do i owe you by now ? [07:56]
mircea_popescu: nope [07:56]
diana_coman: lolz, I guess there was one that I gave to Ed or something [07:56]
diana_coman: ugh, I am waiting on a tome to finish so I can move [07:57]
diana_coman: it's kind of half way there, some 5 minutes more, sorry [07:57]
mircea_popescu: oh. k. [07:57]
mircea_popescu: pingez moi! [07:57]
diana_coman: will do [07:57]
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ping! [08:09]
mircea_popescu: dude... [08:09]
diana_coman: ? [08:10]
diana_coman: thanks! [08:10]
mircea_popescu: ty! [08:10]
diana_coman: hm, did hanbot get her altar? [08:11]
mircea_popescu: i did [08:12]
mircea_popescu: she;s got a pretty shitty connection doesn't she [08:13]
shinohai: My map is a bit sparse still lol http://btcinfo.sdf.org/uploads/exploremap.png [08:13]
mircea_popescu: o hey pretty cool! [08:17]
mircea_popescu: are you making a blog yet ? :)) [08:17]
mircea_popescu: will run the scripts publish a map later on also! [08:17]
shinohai: I started one here, still got a lot of work to do http://btcinfo.sdf.org/eulora/ [08:18]
lobbesbot: Title: Eulora (at btcinfo.sdf.org) [08:18]
diana_coman: so hmm, this last week it turns out foxy had trades about 1.5btc total with all those woa and mites and stuff [08:18]
diana_coman: it seems hanbot gets disconnected quite a lot lately, yeah; at least the altar didn't vanish or something [08:18]
diana_coman: ha ha, impaled by a small claim shinohai ? [08:19]
shinohai: Yeah I was feeling very Vlad that day :D [08:19]
diana_coman: lol; initially I thought you used that cone as a hat :p [08:20]
shinohai: Now I have chair for head so I don't have to improvise xD [08:22]
mircea_popescu: lol [08:24]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman did she make any profit ? [08:24]
diana_coman: yes [08:26]
diana_coman: !~calc 277762/(12255*2.83) [08:28]
jhvh1: diana_coman: 277762/(12255*2.83) = 8.008903843963594 [08:28]
mircea_popescu: what's that, 8mn ? [08:29]
diana_coman: no, that's danielpbarron asking for 800\% on woa now [08:29]
diana_coman: I suspect his "pricing scheme" goes along the lines : keep increasing the price until nobody wants to buy it anymore [08:30]
diana_coman: it is a valid way of finding the current maximum price of sorts [08:32]
danielpbarron: you didn't say a thing when one of the batches was offered at a lower \% markup than the previous.. [08:32]
diana_coman: ? each time I looked it was *higher* [08:33]
diana_coman: it started 660\% iirc , then I paid 700\%+ [08:33]
diana_coman: and now it's 800\% [08:33]
danielpbarron: i am not just arbitrarily raising the price. there is a formula, and it applies to most of the things in my store [08:33]
diana_coman: what does that do exactly? [08:34]
diana_coman: (from this side of things I can tell you what it will do, namely increase the price you'll pay on any ss from me for sure) [08:34]
danielpbarron: shrugs [08:35]
mircea_popescu: looks like some sort of exponential on the quality. [08:36]
diana_coman: hm, I think it was lower quality and higher markup one of the batches but there doesn't seem to be any point in bothering to check it now [08:36]
mircea_popescu: hmm lessee [08:37]
mircea_popescu: 45 woa is available, q 264 this time. price is 225489 ; 277762/(12255*2.83) ; 215393 / 2.6 / 12255 ; (AUCTION : 34 WoA, q a whooping 785! 13mn heard diana_coman eta nov 10 17:00 art.) [08:39]
diana_coman: ? [08:40]
mircea_popescu: i'm doing a history thing here. [08:40]
diana_coman: ah, ok [08:40]
mircea_popescu: !~calc 225489 / 2.64 / 12255 [08:40]

mircea_popescu: heh. [08:41]
mircea_popescu: !~calc 225489 / (2.64**2 ) / 12255 [08:42]

mircea_popescu: yeah see it normalizes almost entirely. [08:43]
mircea_popescu: his formula is pretty much quality ^ n which n is about 4 or such [08:43]
mircea_popescu: not altogether a bad theoretical approach though the n should probably be in the vein of the golden section (ie, 1.x) rather than in the vein of straight x. [08:44]
danielpbarron: hehe [08:46]
mircea_popescu: imagine that by your formula my q 7.95 woa should have sold for what, [08:46]
mircea_popescu: !~calc 7.85**4 * 12255 * 34 [08:46]
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 7.85**4 * 12255 * 34 = 1.5822345353791873E9 [08:46]
mircea_popescu: 1,6bn almost ? that can't possibly be right. [08:47]
danielpbarron: the idea is that the difficulty in increasing a product's quality grows exponentially, not linearly [08:48]
diana_coman: eh, who cares for right or such things; it's a formula! it's not arbitrarily changing and therefore all is aok. [08:48]
mircea_popescu: the idea as such is right ; but i suspect the exponent you use is very wrong. [08:49]
mircea_popescu: the advantage of having formulas is that they (if correct) allow you to allocate capital efficiently so as not to die ; but by this formula you would be well advised to spend 1bn to get 34 q 785 woa ; which is certainly incorrect and therefore you may die. [08:50]
danielpbarron: did anyone make such water? [08:50]
diana_coman: goes to knit some shrugs [08:51]
mircea_popescu: well yes, i sold it at auction : http://logs.minigame.bz/2016-12-09.log.html#t13:39:35 [08:51]

mircea_popescu: oh wait wrong link 1 sec [08:51]

danielpbarron: crazy [08:53]
mircea_popescu: so for one thing : the basis (ie 1) for your exponentiation probably shouldn't be q 100. i kinda effortlessly make over q200 in most things, i expect something around 200, maybe in the 180/225 range is fair as a basis for exponentiation. [08:54]
mircea_popescu: and for the other thing 2 is certainly a hard upper bound, because it diverges too fast and you lose the outside tail. [08:54]
mircea_popescu: but the general idea is certainly merituous ; you might enjoy reading mathematical analysis textbooks esp in what it pertains to fitting ; interpolation ; equational reversing etc. [08:57]
hanbot: o ffs. ty mircea_popescu for saving my stuff. [11:04]
mircea_popescu: sure thing [11:04]
mircea_popescu: ready to pick up ? [11:05]
hanbot: 30s [11:05]
hanbot: whoa nvm that, can't even load the game. this'll take some futzing. [11:05]
hanbot: there we go. [11:06]
hanbot: got it, thanks. [11:07]
mircea_popescu: :) [11:09]
diana_coman: ahahah, got 150 ss 309q [14:48]
diana_coman: !~calc 150*3.09*1165 [14:48]
jhvh1: diana_coman: 150*3.09*1165 = 539977.5 [14:48]
