mircea_popescu: you want to change the world, build on top of immutable primitives, like in v. don't go around pretending "light" now means something else than yesterday.
mircea_popescu: and that thing is unmitigatedly evil ; not to mentionm the fundamental source and ther self-replicating living body, of our present predicaments.
mircea_popescu: that is the policy. any opposition to this, such as "we're now calling niggers afroamerican" or such as "naggum redefined OPEN() to work on his system" is EXACTLY the same thing,
mircea_popescu: generally speaking, i specifically do not wish for anyone to be able to redefine anything ever.
mircea_popescu: there's no "toilet bacteria" ; there is genetic variation, but by geography not by function.
mircea_popescu: go do this experiment for curiosity. plumbing grows ~the same stuff everywhere.
mircea_popescu: there is no "bacterium that only" except in the masturbatory alt-reality, necessarily inexistent, secreted by overexcited virgins who lived in a basement.
mircea_popescu: it's not that i chose not to redefine sink as toilet. is that my sink CAN NOT BE so redefined.
mircea_popescu: in that you're crudely approximating something that's fundamentally impossible - and tell yourselfd this is proof the impossible may be possible! magic! socialism!
mircea_popescu: unlike you, mircea_popescu doesn't lie to himself about what's going on.
mircea_popescu: if THIS is you reason to dislike the x86, YOU go in the skip.
mircea_popescu: you've just said "i build escherian trestlework around it"
mircea_popescu: this is something you can say ; but not something you can do.
mircea_popescu: which is what, to read it and re-redefine everything in it ?
mircea_popescu: you're eschewing the question. "operator=me" has two options : a) not run the code ; b) run the code, giving whoever wrote it operator status.
mircea_popescu: what is so hard about this concept is that it is not a concept of wisdom but a concept of idiocy. which is to say, it does not belong in reality, but in the masturbatory alt-reality, necessarily inexistent, secreted by overexcited virgins who lived in a basement.
mircea_popescu: for the record, if a system had this sort of "semantic indirection" built in where any fuckwad could "redefine OPEN()" i'd burn it and piss on the ashes.
mircea_popescu: seems to me it's rather about how amphibious buldozers are unnecessary because her majesty's engineering corps may one day get around to building a road that goes where I WANT.
mircea_popescu: "find a better way to do what you want than shooting justice holman"
mircea_popescu: his "open car design" is copied exactly off the "no guns" europolicy.
mircea_popescu: yes. and the reason no allowance for it is made in say v is also very particular.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i;m deeply unpersuaded of naggum's love for "dynamism"
mircea_popescu: yeah, it was part of a discussion of rms/foss/etc ineptitude.
mircea_popescu: phf wait, how does this work ? i recall i sent you a batch, or was there a problem there ?
mircea_popescu: trinque can you modify deedbot so instead of "<deedbot> gabriel_laddel voiced for 30 minutes." it says "<deedbot> gabriel_laddel voiced for 30 minutes. Last self-authed on : <timestamp>" ?
mircea_popescu: apparently this needs an actual command, $last_check name or somesuch. looks for the last time someone self-authed.
mircea_popescu: of course... he wouldn't do it in cahn in the first place would he.
mircea_popescu: young fetching fellow living in sunny climate, fucking locals for showers. not that rare.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel you've not actually managed to lose your key, have you ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, he might use an older item with a peculiarly functional set of parts. standardization in hardware is kind-of iffy
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel the point was that rms made certain falsifiable statements, that alf took the pains to falsify.
mircea_popescu: you realise that derivative evaluates on bases other than... your money ?
mircea_popescu: any arbitrary pick of my slaves has more money than jobs had when retook apple.
mircea_popescu: wouldja stop with the fetishism ? "without money" == "dumb as rocks" and nothing else. not now, not during roman judaeea.
mircea_popescu: woz without jobs => universal remote. and see also site:trilema.com fred quimby
mircea_popescu: note that the woz didn't make the ipad. so that theory lost a lot since 2002.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have serious trouble distinguishing him from a young steve jobs, at this point.
mircea_popescu: phf define for me the concept of "bridged on architectural grounds"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: eh this is nonsense. something somewhere will at some point have to write to video ram ; and he's not said much more than that.
mircea_popescu: i don't dispute your goals ; merely your very inept methodology.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'll tell you why not : because until he asks, you can;'t tell.
mircea_popescu: i think the last person who had that locked themselves in a cellar and rages there still.
mircea_popescu: problem being that you're all done designing yours and are now designing his, too.
mircea_popescu: bring this argument again once you're pdf free, ye hear ?
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. YOU YOURSELF USE SHIT THAT DOESNT INTEROIPERATE
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a ms-dos lisp would not, at this point, be a bad machine.
mircea_popescu: this is debatable. but the fundamental problem with allowing userspace hardware access is that it can cut you loose from your own computer.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel the reason kernel exists is so that random crap doesn't steal your machine.
