mircea_popescu: 1. "this is the difference between" ; 2. "the fnargl is larger than a butter" ; 3. "any elements larger than the elements smaller than themselves are smaller than the larger elements of some other set."
mircea_popescu: phf i'm game for a full analysis of them if you care to state any. the problem broadly is that they're nonsense as-found.
mircea_popescu: phf i don't see a problem with gpl per se, but i'm not going to enforce it myself.
mircea_popescu: now i have rum all over my desk wtf. why's that so funny
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'll concur with you saying that it's one lousy fuck, how about that.
mircea_popescu: and yes, understanding === being fucked ; the process is called "education" because "fucking" is too harsh apparently.
mircea_popescu: there's no freedom to understand anymore than there's a freedom to decide who fucks you.
mircea_popescu: what's this, meta-communism ? "not these people are equal, but some ideal people somewhere else" ?
mircea_popescu: your cat now has the right to understand differential calculus. proceed.
mircea_popescu: i don't see value in this. what, there's a universal right to understand ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sufficient beating will conjure anything. experientia docent.
mircea_popescu: discussing teh principle of the thing moar than the cases i exemplify with.
mircea_popescu: basically, these concerns previously glued together in o'reilly brand duct tape just came apart, and will have to be re-negotiated socially.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in any case, while the value of "bright young fellow wants to learn boyer-moore through checking out phf's code" is there ; i'm not about to push you to publish phuctor code for some vague fetishist love of foss. which i don't have.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller eulora build process is actually quite painless, and has ~nothing in common with trying to build planeshift, other than some dependencies.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 1) nobody of the "background and experience in management experience spawns many years" derps running ethereum built from source, or COULD build from source. i've seen enough of those lolz in eulora to have a pretty close idea ; 2. nobody's asking you to run trinque's shit on your box, so there's a difference here. but 1 and 2 aside, absofuckinglutely wtf. this isn't about tivoization of code.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think on the lowest level complexity actually has a positive perceived value. "check out all the complex shit i <<handle>>". much like kids in the same age bracket / cultural space in africa laud themselves with their voodoo accomplishments.
mircea_popescu: what happens when you put "anyone" in your soup is you get a soup only "anyone" would ever eat, after the fashion he eats it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the error of os is that it predicates upon "anyone".
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller in this sense the first inch of any stake is pleasurable.
mircea_popescu: basically they've poured 100k a head in "college education" so that thousands of them together can replicate the brain of an amphibian.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform obviously. because you know, "ethereum hole" is no longer google-trending. so therefore they must have.
mircea_popescu: the value of open source is actually negative, it's a wealth destruction mechanism.
mircea_popescu: well, this isn't going to go anywhere, open source is a method to bolt shut doors of stables after horses left.
mircea_popescu: not one bothering to mention that hey, i got inspired by mp, and look, the prediction he made was in fact correct : there WERE more holes. which circumstance clears any possible objection to the whole process being jealousy driven.
mircea_popescu: NOBODY fucking read it. not even the two idiots writing it. then AFTER i publish on trilema, suddenly it's sexy, they get jealous of all the exposure and find various other holes.
mircea_popescu: yeah well. the whole "open source/free software" delusion has gone long enough ; time to take it behind the bikeshed and put a bullet in its brain. leaving aside the entirely misguided communist nonsense of stallman, which is already discussed int he logs, look at what open source did for ethereum, since he mentioned it.
mircea_popescu: reydev he did in fact slap it together himself ; more generally "open source" in the general, github-y, "copy/paste me but don't ever read me!" sense is not much of a republican value. which isn't to say that you can't get at the code, but it is to say you can't expect to just find it online. if you got questions, ask teh lord in question.
mircea_popescu: "the $(cause du jour) needs $(aspie 14% group sponsoring the article)"
mircea_popescu: reydev not unless it looks like the mage girls in your favourite mmorpg.
mircea_popescu: shinohai kinda why i put this in the open, so people can come up with a good name maybe.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's see about that. either it's not the case, in which case we now have a us church, or it is the case, in which case we have yet another harpoon in the whale's back.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if that's true, we're exactly the gang for it. match made in heaven.
mircea_popescu: i want you to research the legal status of a registered church in the us, as well as the practicalities of registering one. this is a serious project, and i expect 100s of hours spent reading up on it. gpgram me about it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: danielpbarron hey listen, your latest posts inspired me, an' now i have a project for you.
mircea_popescu: is it actually efficient re memory usage ? anyone know specifically ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ("if money's a curse, let god strike me down with it! and may i never recover.")
mircea_popescu: it's a style where you import gold by the galleon only to see rents go up and not much else.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski didn't work for italy because, in spite of rural shithole, nevertheless delusions of grandeur, and unwarranted impressions that "we've already smoked this joint".
mircea_popescu: then he wonders what is porcfest about anymore. gee whiz, i dunno.
mircea_popescu: while you're all dicking about, the trishop's doin' all the partying.
mircea_popescu: "I found myself with a girl under each arm, a scotch in hand, dead center in the front of a crowd observing the fire dancing show taking place during the big Friday night finale of PorcFest XIII. Having ingested both MDMA and LSD1 earlier that evening, I imagined the scene took on a particularly mystical quality."
mircea_popescu: ie can we finally get rid of the concept of "packet" altogether ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, the only possible conclusion is that ~nobody went to school.
mircea_popescu: phf ikr! i lack the background and experience in management experience, is the problem.
