mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's what i want
to accomplish, as a goal : i want
to be able
to put up a linux system,
then go curl
http://trilema.com/autobitcoin.sh | gpg -verify > autobitcoin.sh. and
then run
that autobitcoin.sh, which auto-follows
the changes of people i have selected for
this
task, builds
them and runs
them
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (reason is
that stuff's written once, read many
times)
mircea_popescu: so : you wanna contribute, use
this and
that markup,
then rest is done by itself.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not on
the fucken reader. prolly 2/3 of our problem as is
mircea_popescu: this is where im headed. have
the syntax as a burden ON
THE WRITER
punkman: with some metadata in diff files, we could have a script
that creates a branched git repo entirely out of signed patch files
mircea_popescu: jurov what if
the only way
to add an edit is "deedbot pastebin/soandso" ?
jurov: mere switch
to wiki won't solve it
jurov: i see it as minor change. majur obstacle is how
to sanely
track stuff who released, who signed
mircea_popescu: in practice, it'd prolly be more practical
to
transition deedbot and its site
to
this job i
think
jurov: i use dokuwiki for some stuff,
too. and it can be authed only once per seesion like assbot
mircea_popescu: jurov what do you
think about switching
to mediawiki ?
punkman just realizes he forgot
to post working debug_sanity revision
mircea_popescu: question : what if we ran
this
to look more like a wiki
than a mailing list ?
mircea_popescu: lemme state apropos of nothing
that if you blame people for process not only are you an incredibly bad manager, but your organisation will fail, and in so doing give everyone a sigh of relief.
mircea_popescu: and
the last we heard of davout he was
told exactly
the same, and for all i know he's fallen in
there never
to be heard from again
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i bet you dollars
to anything
that
the reason you don't get deluged in
that is simply
that moist folks are
too interdicted by
the
task
to even attempt, soi we don't hear about 99% of compat issues
jurov: but srs, i have asked for patches context, was sent
to go scour
the log for it
jurov: structural? ohmy mircea's going
to ban something :D
mircea_popescu: i swear
this is a problem
that's structural and should be solved, rather
than just pushed against.
mircea_popescu: no, if you look at
the history with open eyes it's quite clear we had
this problem on back for a while now.
mircea_popescu: i don't even fully understand wtf hole we're filing.
tho i
think i understand a lot better right now
than 3 hours ago.
mircea_popescu: atm we're veering dangerously close
to
the old -dev process, where
they just shat magic stones.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to get back
to it : in ordere
to ever reach 0 kelvin, you must use at least some elements
that provably reduce
temperature.
mircea_popescu: if you design your
thing like reproduction works, do not be surprised.
mircea_popescu: reproduction is
the work of man, and reproduction has

today.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i never objected
to folks using 'git', 'mercurial', etc. - only
to
the notion
that <
mircea_popescu: looky here : i am a magical witch doctor
that can spot where cancer starts.
mircea_popescu: suppose you can't read at
the pace new ones get added.
mircea_popescu: you go
to
the ML, and lo,
there's 1`677`321 messages in
there.
mircea_popescu: suppose you come back in 2025. suppose we've been living and
thriving
though
this
time.
mircea_popescu: ok, gefuxexperiment. suppose you get hit in
the head, and go into a coma.
mircea_popescu: can we just design
the
thing, if for no other reason
then for
the exercise, and
then see what already exists and if we like it ?
mircea_popescu: so basically, help me out here.
this should be a website which maintains a code
tree and a signature
tree ?
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the idea here is specifically
that we want you
to be in a position where
the plane and chalkboard perspective doesn't loom.
assbot: Logged on 31-07-2015 21:50:52; hanbot: ascii_field hanbot, what are
the remaining issues? << rotor.sh sez:
http://thewhet.net/han/rotorfail.txt (no patches) meanwhile mod6 has made progress on RI on ubuntu so still working on "manual" stator build.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell hanbot so is
the node up ? where ? is
there a recipe-from-own-eyes somewhere ? where ?
mircea_popescu: and hanbot must also be able
to evaluate
the
theoretical advances in question., inseparable.
mircea_popescu: hanbot must be able
to put into work
the
theoretical advances b-a produces <
mircea_popescu: when you have a phd assembly line,
the problem is not "insufficient phds"
mircea_popescu: the stator saving of
the continuity feeling was
too narrow for my liking.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but just as
the saying goes, past performance is no guarantee of future success.
that we readily crushed
the "omai, bigger blocks" initiative, like all "initiatives"
to date does not offer any guarantee we'll manage next
time.
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.
