mircea_popescu: stalin despised the peasant, and the usg despises the scum we despise, equally if not moreso.
mircea_popescu: what do you think all this "software for the people" kick is ?
mircea_popescu: but in any case, a purely M wot will eventually fail, no matter how effectual or powerful it is (and it is, ftr, factually) on the financial side
mircea_popescu: the reason this was possible is fortunately very easy to fix, once we understood what the hole was.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, because it failed to even conceptualize the M part, let alone address it, it remained open to attack which the us first probed (with its corporate tentacles, ms etc) and then crushed, with its agency teeth.
mircea_popescu: this is ultimately why foss failed. yes, it did (sort of, but originally much better than currently) allow the U seating part.
mircea_popescu: this "choose your own giant" system is definitely powerful enough to take over the world, but we still gotta figure out a way to allow such seating.
mircea_popescu: and returning to the issue, the good quality recipes are exactly equivalent to the "wot of patches" management technique : they allow people to ride on the shoulders of giants ~of their own choice~.
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact, approaching the matter conversely, a straight github repository would be just fine from the M perspective if it were doubled by duly deedbotted hashes of the plaintext. and on the other hand, irrespectively how inscrutable -r content would be just fine from a U perspective, just as long as someone can somehow convert it into a plaintext they can sit down with, follow, and never be surprised.
mircea_popescu: this is not practicable, if for no other reason then because the very earth will end up growing a beard and that'll be bad for the climate.
mircea_popescu: i am perfectly aware that a fine answer to both these is "just grow a beard", which is to say, "know", knight style, just "what is going on" so that you can reboot the machine into a working state. and "know", mp style, just whop the moles are.
mircea_popescu: the other is MANAGE. specifically - hanbot must also be able to evaluate the theoretical advances in question.
mircea_popescu: one is USE. specifically - hanbot must be able to put into work the theoretical advances b-a produces. and ima use her as a stand-in for "intelligent and willing to work, but not able to grow a beard".
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: there are very specifically TWO things we want to do here, and they are not miscible.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suspect we might be belabouring under the burdens imposed by a design problem which ultimately stems from conceptual confusion.
mircea_popescu: the only kingdom of heaven accessible to earthlinks is fucking reading and signing patches. don't want it, fine, but don't get fucking existential on me on your deathbed about how you wasted your life. yes, you have. shoulda not have.
mircea_popescu: there is NOTHING else. anything where you spend your time for any other purpose is either a) masturbation, ie, the xtian "building castles on sand". whether you spend time with your kid or groom your beard or fuck the woman, it's all sensata. or else b) uranium mines.
mircea_popescu: not how it works. it has A LOT of upside and virtually no downside. what ELSE are you going to do with that "money" if you don't go to the market ? and what ELSE are you going to do with that certain time and alleged expertise if not sign this stuff ?
mircea_popescu: e first to 1 and the 2nd to 0, and then go 1 = 0 har har.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-08-2015#1225151 << this proposition is false. similarly, going to the market has "all downside and no upside" for goers : they know for a fact they'll spend money. and who knows if the stuff they get will be any good, won't spoil en route, won't get stolen before they get home or for that matter won't sprout heads and tentacles and eat them. so let's "safely" aka stupidly round th
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in short we gotta restructure this pancake castle less it falls over.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform shouldn't, in browser that respect "font size=small".
mircea_popescu: how about submiutting a "This doesn't work - don't use it" thing on the broken one
mircea_popescu: plox tell me it's not one of those where everyone is waiting for me to do it first or something.
mircea_popescu: which is why the fuck we evern have the complexsignature scheme in place.
mircea_popescu: of course the logical approach would be to promote to stable ml patches that were signed
mircea_popescu: the more common cop out is "fuck you, it's all testing".
mircea_popescu: i can appreciate the heroism of "fuck you, it's all stable". but then that comes at a cost.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, most everyone but us has a stable and a testing list.
mircea_popescu: the ml process needs some reviewing. it's sort of grown organically to a point where it's troublematic.
mircea_popescu: you know world is on fire to that degree pretty much weekly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he still has a point. a) we're careening dangerously towards -dev levels and b) people can't fucking follow wtf is on that list.

mircea_popescu: the problem is simply this : as you get successful you get fat, and that fat is then... coming to expect.
mircea_popescu: heroin is really the perfect answer to the overpopulation problem.
mircea_popescu: pencildicks wanna use the heads. because dicks frangible.
mircea_popescu: it's a game. who do they actually interdict, the "criminal" "biker gangs" ?
mircea_popescu: the idiotic non-violent behaviour of ruminants is not limited to ruminants. nobody really aims to gore the other party.
mircea_popescu: iirc had that too. if decades of practice, valid degree by default.
mircea_popescu: so yeah, can practice medicine on basis of nobel prize.
mircea_popescu: i got to bypass normal college entrance exams because olympiads.
mircea_popescu: nah, the idea is that if you get a good enough achievement, you get auto-diploma or w/e.
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely clear why the thiord phase is 160 rather than 110 in eu syste, but anywya
mircea_popescu: europe uses 220 for residential, 380 optional. or otherwise you can get a 2 or 5kv industrial line.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if this is related to the "feelings driven" pseudo cultural economy.
