  • Holochain – Ceptr is pretty much ‘there’. I love that I don’t go thru holochain

    Holochain – Ceptr is pretty much ‘there’. I love that I don’t go thru holochain docs and say “well, that’s gonna fail” or, “well that’s not true”, or “well, that’s bordering on fraud”. Tho, I wish these people would include an architecture section on the site where they write pseudocode for basic transactions as they work thru the system, so that we don’t have to sit through hours of nonsense-jargon to deduce it, but … that said, I’m glad someone’s putting it together. My favorite part of Holochain is that are can write a GOOD UI, whereas with the various ‘coins’ it’s nearly impossible. Secondly, I like that it’s a freaking ACCOUNTING system (Journal) rather than a BTC style LEDGER. I mean. YOu can build grownup applications that way. ( I could for example, improve our product (oversing/runcible) dramatically by basing it on Holochain. it would dramatically simplify the backend architecture, which, for all intents and purposes, consists of a single enormous journal->ledger class. I played a very small part in the database replication era via MSFT. Replication and Federation have always been a problem. And as someone who builds tech for business and industry (usually user interface or marketing heavy) I like the problems the tech solves. Now, when they produce a js, php, or python app framework, that’s the biggie. Because it will make the tech available to the masses of programmers (vs engineers). Building ‘plumbing’ is really boring…. Frameworks let you build whatever you want. The first product that I “owned” (and only one) at microsoft was a suite of sample applications for developers. These were fully capable apps. And as I watched the universe of apps roll out, they were very frequently built on top of one of the sample apps or the libraries. Now, today we have app frameworks everywhere. And the data is pretty clear that the framework sells the technology. So I’ll say that again: frameworks sell technology….. ( Something I wasn’t able to get thru to MSFT server and tools mgmt or the VS team. Even though there were advocates there at the time. This was something Borland and other tech companies understood. And it’s something that the framework producers understand. )

  • Propertarianism And Its Discontents (Sic)

    PROPERTARIANISM AND ITS DISCONTENTS (sic) So far Propertarianism has spun off a number of groups, and affected change on related philosophical schools. However, what does not seem to ‘spin off’ is the reduction of all thought and action to economic language of gains, losses and incentives. I explain traditions in economic prose that is merely an extension of physical science. The reason others don’t take this with them, being that most folks are looking for mindfulness (stoic exit) or fulfillment (romantic exit) or some sort of justification for their intuitions (philosophical exit), or excuse for lack of competitive ability (fictional exit). They’re looking for exit – not responsibility. They are not looking for a METHOD OF RULE that produces superior competition for the group, and superior rewards for rulers, or competitive transcendence (meaning evolution and speciation) of man. Aristocracy = Rule by the Best, Continuous Competitiion, and as a result Continuous Evolution, resulting in Speciation and Transcendence – all of it at a higher standard of living, and therefore with greater agency. A religion that provides mindfulness in the personal, interpersonal, and political realms, to those what want the benefits of aristocracy without the responsibility, is only interesting to me so far as it provides means of producing that mindfulness in favor of action, of competition, of invention, of transcendence – not by exit, but by responsibility. Eat The Weak.

  • The Economics Of Planets And Their Populations

    Humans will make excellent domesticated animals to use as pets (amusing slaves), slaves(cheap labor), or food (I”m betting on food). Otherwise It sure looks like planets are rare and valuable enough – and trade costly and useless enough – that they are the ultimate ‘good’ in the community. Economics in everything. Marginal difference produces trading incompatibility, and cooperative in compatibility. Investment in a competitor is a catastrophe – which is the less on I take from Colonization. Habitable planets are scarce *in time*.
