mircea_popescu: amusingly, i suppose body unintegrity is solid defense against charge of weeaboism.
mircea_popescu: yah. there's a closing statement and evertything on trilema, also in lgos etc.
mircea_popescu: sina he does have a point -- this is a very fine op for you to learn v through practice. make a genesis for your thang.
mircea_popescu: silly argument being anything but "because it'll take forever mp!"
mircea_popescu: but consider for a moment -- why should code be something else than "words for all time" ?
mircea_popescu: which is also why i say your notion of fun is problematic.
mircea_popescu: the problem is management really. code keeps wanting to be edited, comments on blog are a different thing.
mircea_popescu: i can see it though. heck, i actually indulge. whole candi thing was nothing else.
mircea_popescu: your idea of fun turns out problematioc for the republic!
mircea_popescu has been thinking... this whole code in comments thing dun werk wortha crap
mircea_popescu: holy shit im not diffing tcoments by hand what is htis\
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yah but why make another slut, just reuse the extant one lel
mircea_popescu: trinque yes but it won't accept a "this is x's rating for y's, honest" from an altbot.
mircea_popescu: except nanotube never actually fixed gribble, for whatever reason (such as for instance - because it wasn't erroneously broken but deliberately broken)
mircea_popescu: in fact, deedbot was intended to be federated from the get go... or in fact no. the item deedbot replaced because the operator got syphilis (ie, assbot) was created specifically because failure of previous item (operator travelled unexpectedly, thing went down -- tis all in the logs) and was intended to be federated from the get-go
mircea_popescu: sina and if it becomes an issue, it can be logified. the logger was originally single item you know.
mircea_popescu: unlike the github cathedral-of-garbage-built-by-anonyous-rats-randomly-ambling about, there's actual people in charge which means the buck always stops somewhere. so it's not exactly "bug reports", it's more in the vein of "and here's your summons to parliament"
mircea_popescu: or when candi lust was made, or when absolutely anything else tmsr-happened.
mircea_popescu: it's really not so different from yest when you and ben_vulpes were working on the mpfhf.
mircea_popescu: (and yes "multiculturalism" is the cheapo excuse of lazy stupid people to not have an actual culture ; much like "the convenience" of fast food is the excuse inept housewives use to not work the kitchen.)
mircea_popescu: the expectation that if you listen in a conversation of people you don't know you'll nevertheless be able to discern what is being said is pretty much THE thing distinguishing the esl anglotard from actual thinking people with a functioning head and part of a culture etc.
mircea_popescu: "oh but he said nigger 85 times!!" "yes but he just uses that to denote tomatoes."
mircea_popescu: the reason textual methods do not work in practice is... the indirection layer. and so on.
mircea_popescu: thyis is a fractally repeating point : the reason "social learning" as modelled by redditards doesn't work irl is the indirection layer. the reason gossipd is undefeatable in practice is... the indirection layer.
mircea_popescu: for perfect meta : re the matter of whether there is or there is not substantial disagreement, we aren't yet disagreeing. so far we're just trying to come to terms.
mircea_popescu: there's a process to working out a mental image of a text. it involves inter alia building alternative models.
mircea_popescu: anyway, wasn't my impression there's substantial disagreement.
mircea_popescu: in fairness it's a large ball of yarn and while it flows splendidly from itself, nevertheless it does flow exactlty opposite to ~everyone's acculturation in the soviet empire.
mircea_popescu: review the gossipd discussions, they're instructive on the topic.
mircea_popescu: not really expect anything. people are supposed to do their own thinking for themselves. but i expect i'd notice if my ratings weren't right.
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- if he modified them himself he gets to either convincingly fix it or else be replaced. just like anything else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: exactly opposite of the imperial certificate bullshit, which is 100% george costanza going "it's true i did nothing all week, but bear in mind i am in the smaller office". ie, "can you doctor ?" "no, not rly... but i do have a doctoring CERTIFICATE"
mircea_popescu: the fundamental flaw in your earlier mental process, which is periodically discussed in the logs, is that you try to take trust as an objective. trust isn't an objective, the reason i trust you is because I TRUST YOU, not because deedbot says i do. and the ONLY use of the knowledge that i trust you is that you can ask me about you. nothing else.
mircea_popescu: in practice it'd likely look a lot more like hey trinque wtf is this, followed by everyone perking up and an answer of some kind being produced and so on.
mircea_popescu: much like "wouldn't it be cool to make cars out of cardboard, they'd be easier to paint that way" misses the whole car thing
mircea_popescu: i think the idea discusses an item not related to the actual item.
mircea_popescu: did you read an' understand the "what the wot is" article ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but for the things in your head to be called thinking, they must proceed form a basis. what is here the basis ?
mircea_popescu: now, the formalism for recording that rating currently in overwhelming use is !!rate. there is no rule that thios must be so. it is currently so for convenience, and because deedbot is trustworthy. either of these can change, but this would affect little : the party who trusts you can enter that trust into the public record through whatever command
mircea_popescu: i mean, "i dunno what's with todd these days, he keeps fucking all these latrinas"...
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, isn't it a wonder latrina isn't a racial slur ?
