Please join us on matrix! Starting from datalisp.is.

I am trying to make it easier for us to work together with datalisp.is

Bah come solve it then, datalisp.is.

I think that allow unfree in nix is practically the same as adding nonguix repo to your channels. Both are essentially one line of config in some file. (I am former nixos user but now on guix)

What has starvation got to do with it? You can't eat money. If you want to persuade someone to give you food for some kind of token then that token has to be meaningful enough that the person with the food can use it to get something e

Or they pick the view that benefits everybody but nobody wants that because they are busy exploiting something that gives them relative advantage and don't see how they would be better off if they would have less relative advantage but

My hot take is that people who believe in IQ have low IQ.

The Dialogical Roots of Deduction[0] is an excellent book that I was recommended by my math professor after making a comment about how mathematics are a form of persuasion, not a religious truth. It was refreshing to read something I could

Lisp is called the dyck language or the catalan numbers depending on what kind of mathematician you are talking to.

Yeah exact. Proof of trust, web of trust,... datalisp.is

Not everything is about secret weapons... it is just simple and clear to use S-expressions, people like simple and clear.

If money is persuasion (i.e. I can pay you money to change your behaviour) then that explains perfectly why money is both energy and information.... Energy changes behaviour (that is literally how we reason about behaviour; in terms of ener

Money is a social construct. Public goods are traditionally funded by taxes. Dual to taxing someone would be to print new money for everyone except that person. We need to pay ourselves and take ourselves seriously.

Okay so preaching to the choir about how things are bad while almost everyone in said choir will be working full time on making things worse. Honestly it is perplexing. We have a massive incentive problem and the cheapest place to look for

by openfuture 4y ago
No. Not yet. First we must(!) address the incentive problem in free software (and society) then things like minetest will outcompete things like minecraft naturally. The only reason it doesn't already is because developers can only get

Alright so you can go check out datalisp.is and tala saman then.. it's my attempt

In order to start doing this we need a standard to build on. The simplest thing should be the easiest thing to agree on and that has been the case so far in how math has moved forward (afaict) but sometimes local optimas get in the way of p

Well zig could be a no tradeoff improvement over C while rust definitely has tradeoffs. So I think "all good" is a plausible assessment.

There's a way to reverse the trend and start moving in a better direction but we've got to work together to do it and right now I just don't see it, people are too blinded by short term gain.

This article couldn't be further from the truth! All you need to read is this comment. Economists don't think, they feast. Mostly on the blood of the innocents but sometimes also on the bounties of nature or, rarely, on the delusi

The supply chain is a chain because it is like a relay race, information passes from person/organization/custodian and then to another. Unless they all cooperate in keeping the bureaucracy correct then there is no security, it can

Don't you get it.. the dangerous political group is just normal people.. Haven't you been to an airport? or survived this covid period? The fear is proportional to the advantage. If there's a 1000$ behind a door that costs 50

I love how you brought up this meme (which used to be a consensus opinion fwict ~2009) and it immediately got discredit with multiple examples! Clearly this is not a way forward ("waiting for others to be outraged" - guess what? T
