http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760839 mircea_popescu: i can't, on the basis of that video, infer anything beyond, "hey, if we ever want to upload a youtube video with apologies about some software, maybe gabriel_laddel is free"
gabriel_laddel: well for one, I'm not really prepared to sell M to the mass market & recently reached the conclusion that CLIM is backwards in a few fixable ways. #1, commands are to be computed by code walking rather than define-command & by using (declare) and FUNCTION-LAMBDA-LIST
mircea_popescu: yes, but did you follow either asciilifeform or diana_coman 's approach to a very similar problem ?

☟︎ gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I have not followed anything diana_coman has done, whatsoever.

phf: well, i for one love his sicp-ish captured context lambda classes!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when building a tree, first load up the sig folder, then apply it as a mask on the patch folder, then proceed building with only the patches that passed.
mircea_popescu: (not a great lisper myself, but it seems to me here he got caught in the "since i won't be implementing the posix and gnupg bs yet, im not going to put the thing dependent on tyhem at its right place either, because i wanna fuck myself over")
phf: the way btcbase does it is first pairs all patches by name (following our convention, but next by subst distance), processes those and what's left over is brute forced. algo though was implemented back when naming convention was in flux, so in practice it's o(n), but in reality it could approach o(n^2) if patch bucket is full of shit

mircea_popescu: well since you squeeze me, here it is : i suspect the notion of "shouldn't even be having" is 100% pantsuit wank.

mircea_popescu: now consider the case of witch doctor. guy comes into office, outputs a string ; witch doctor responds with some activity and some instruction ; problem does not get better.
mircea_popescu: witch doctor has gotten "99% of the way there" -- the only problem is the tail.
mircea_popescu: so entrepreneurial witch doctor applies self to inventing problems he could actually solve, so as to flip "doesn't" into "does or doesn't".

mircea_popescu: anyway -- an alien problem is a problem with a banal retrospective solution that doesn't exist. it works well for fiction, where one can say "and on planet x, people all walked with their nose in a clothespin, then our hero came in, told them to ditch the clothespins, AND THEREFORE WAS A HERO. AND IS!" ie, establishing shot.
BingoBoingo: Perhaps the histamine overload is finally getting to fleanode
mircea_popescu: but the fact that such a planet could never exist is left unadressed -- the needs of fiction are fictive.
mircea_popescu: "if you're watching it-- it's fior you" means, also, "if you have this problem, it's not an alien problem", or otherwise put "a study of alien problems is necessarily useless ; other than to prepare one for a life spent trying to write for jezbel"

☟︎ mircea_popescu: something was abolished, yes, but not THAT, and more important NOT LIKE THAT!
mircea_popescu: that's the major point here, that a categorical split ("oh, either problem or aproblem!") is based on no equivalent phenomenological split.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that many problems admit retrospective solutions is not at issue here ; the whole content of "i suspect the notion of "shouldn't even be having" is 100% pantsuit wank." is that "alien problems" are an artefact of the retelling of history (esp if with a purpose) rarther than of the making of history.
