mod6: ima
think about it
though, probably
try some different
things.
mircea_popescu: different genesis makes different
tree, it's all
there.
mod6: yah, see. not well
thought out mod6.
mod6: anyway, i'll
think about how
to make
this a
thing.
mod6: heck, i dunno, i gotta sit and
think on it for a while.
mod6: then if V sees one of
these comments with "%% EXPERIMENTAL %%"
then it builds a seperate flow
mod6: i even had a
thought, and im not even sure its feasible
technically or just logically, but; we could perhaps create a wrapper for gnu patch where we strip out lines
that are surrounded with "%%" or something similar
to how it does with "@@",
this would ultimately be needed in vtron as well
to avoid issues. But
the
thought is,
then we could put comments directly in
the vpatch (surrounded by '%%') and
mod6: oh yes. at first
thought,
this seems like a much needed
thing.
mircea_popescu: but gotta give a 2nd
tree some
thought for ppl
to do experimental work on.
mod6: Since it's getting brought up...
TO ALL CONTRIBUTORS:
Thank you for your hard work and submissions. Please hang on
to your vpatches, or send
them
to
the BTC-Dev mailing list and we'll get
to
them post release for review & regrind if accepted.
phf: (my press is still broken
though, because i want
to have all
the patches
that were ever produced in
there, even
the conflicting ones, and simply
throwing
them into a pile seems
to not work. i'll figure it out sometime
this week)
☟︎ mod6: Then I can finally
turn my attention
to what I said I was going
to do
this month:
the makefiles.
mod6: This will allow for us
to get everything back into sync; new V, new build script, new instructions in
the wiki.
mod6: Should be ready for a new V release by
the weekend.
mod6: and also in other news... I'm going
to publish a one line change
to add a bit more strictness (less fuzz)
to
the map building part of V -- was basically overlooked on
the last beta patch (#3). So
this one will be #4, and barring any further big issues,
this should be it.
mod6: but still, individuals may come, and
try,
there's a fresh crop every year.
mircea_popescu: well, it does mean
they can afford
to pay if
they fuck something up, so neg rating kinda less likely.
danielpbarron: i guess i was imagining
the reverse, a republic under a king
mod6: just because 'king' doesn't mean
they still can't get neg rating
mod6: for instance, what if
the king of jordan wanted
to be in
TMSR? why wouldn't autocrats be able
to be in
the wot?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i'm
trying
to follow what you';re saying here.
danielpbarron: or guy finds young girl in field,
takes her, father insists
they now marry
mircea_popescu: more of a doublespoken one,
too. hence veblen goods and
the
trillion a year cosmetics industry.
danielpbarron: prospective husband goes
to father of prospective wife
mircea_popescu: this aside,
the
trade in mates has been historically and will permanently remain a major economic factor. as unwilling
to admit people may find
themselves. nevertheless, it's rarely an actual market.
mircea_popescu: it has
the power of prayer, magic and all sorts of bizarre.
danielpbarron: >> but
the
trade in mates is intended
to be a major economic factor.
mod6: part of
this goes back
to, "that sovereigns and sovereigns alone are entitled
to anything
they may
take for
themselves," ; as a sovereign you make
take
the brides you wish, but if you want
to make it a deed, signatories must be in
the wot.
danielpbarron: aren't you
the one
that said
there should be a market for wives or something?
mircea_popescu: how do you communicate
the concept of "her ladyship died
this morn" if she has no key ?
danielpbarron: why does everything need
to be a cow or how does it go?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron since
that'd have
to be single use, you're better off with otp
danielpbarron: but
that's not
the same as an assbot registered key
danielpbarron: well you could have an unpublished key
to use for
that purpose
mod6: how do i know who im
talking
to
mircea_popescu: in
the old days, woman wouldn't generally appear
too
trustworthy before she had fucked most everyone. but it's a
truly complex point
to communicate.
danielpbarron: well i've given
this some
thought, and i just don't see
the point of
the wife signing anything about it as she should now act as one flesh with her new husband; if she needs something notarized, let him do it for her
mircea_popescu: i dun
think i could be bothered
to plow an unkeyed field
tbh.
mircea_popescu: as per alf's earlier pronouncements, who'd want a wife like
that ?
mircea_popescu: is
this a continuation of
the "honey, for a bitcoin i make
the holes" ?
phf: topic needs a debate
thread
mircea_popescu: o boy. does
tmsr recognize marriage with goat ? woman ? no less
than 3 ? what ?
phf: re shinohai's raiting, come
to
think of it future
tmsr~ weedings ought
to be officiated by danielpbarron
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for danielpbarron from 1
to 2 with note: Eulorian Elder and priest of
tmsr~
shinohai: !rate danielpbarron 2 Eulorian Elder and priest of
tmsr~
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the other hypothesis is
that republican servers > nsa powers.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Will have
to wait 2+ hours. Have
to go
to cult meeting.
mircea_popescu recalls from his college days
that most kids preferred
taking exams with easy
teachers over
taking exams with good
teachers.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: They prolly just give him
the chance
to be heard by various incarnations of Eliza
hanbot: i'm sure he's paid in "ideas", as much as i'm sure
they'd fail just as hard without him driving a mop
BingoBoingo: They needn't even pay him money, but proximity
to his church Altman
