mircea_popescu: for instance i can't even tell whether hanbot's mp-wp genesis includes a manifest atm, by virtue of it not even being on btcbase.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i want a link point for "hey, i gotta include manifest ?!" queries which will keep flowing ; no doubt.
mircea_popescu: listen, this is a terrible "specification by code" example.
mircea_popescu: trinque, i don't get it, so the format we're baking in is link, anchor, count, comment ?
mircea_popescu: trinque, did you publish the format somewhere after all ?
mircea_popescu: and in today's lulz, azn fellow that speaks approximate english trying to convey the concept of "no need to thank me" wrote "you can suck, too" in the send-off.

mircea_popescu: the iq this defined ~just abou sums~, meaning if a group of 101 peeps contains 100 ppl of iq 10 and one guy of -1k iq, the group net result will be 0.
mircea_popescu: ie, if resources are 10, result of 1000 means iq of 10 ; result of 10mn means iq of 1k. result of -1 means iq of -100 and result of -10 means iq of -1k
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : if results are negative, iq is a negative exponential the result- resource disparity ; if results are positive, iq is a positive logarithmic of same disparity.
mircea_popescu: but yes, it is strictyly incorrect to measure IQ as a natural number. IQ is in R, and is defined as IQ = results ^ -1/(resources-results).
