He says his work is done. It's now a question of polishing it. Do you think Urbit stands a chance? Also, thoughts on Urbit vs. Tim Berners Lee's Solid vs. other things?

wtf is urbit

>Your Urbit is a personal cloud server. A simple, private, general-purpose virtual computer on an encrypted P2P network.
Basically, it's a virtual machine with built-in peer-to-peer networking and user accounts. It lets you write and run peer-to-peer applications ignoring the old 1970s UNIX cruft. The intention is to replace social networks like Facebook, chat like IRC, email, etc. with something that's P2P with user-owned data.

Urbit is the last platform. The personal-computing revolution hasn’t even happened
yet.
Urbit is.. a revoluti0n
Urbit is taking

Urbit is potentially interesting, but waaaay too fucking annoying to wade through and life is too short for this shit, so, thats that.

Weird, it looks better in my browser. If you can't take it maybe read media.urbit.org
Jonathan Murphy
yeah, ok, done, will read, cheers.
and no, that layouts a tiny bit annoying, for real.

That's Sir Tim Berners-Lee to you.

I took away the exact same thing. It makes you wonder if the people involved are borderline schizophrenic.

stretching it some to call that Nazi, but, congrats on turning the thread into a shitfest, well played
Josiah Murphy
It's true tho. I will never understand why it's racist to say that whites are smarter than blacks but not racist to say blacks are faster than whites
Brandon Foster
If you want to get you shit adopted you should at least:
- clearly explain what it does
- make it easy to use.
Urbit does neither of those things. Makes me wonder if it's just a very elaborate joke or just a case of autismus maximus.
What's your take, pol?
Ryan Hughes
>He argues for a “neo-cameralist” philosophy based on Frederick the Great of Prussia’s “cameralist” administrative mode.[13] In Yarvin's view, inefficient, wasteful Democratic governments should be replaced by sovereign joint-stock corporations whose shareholders, all property owners, elect an executive with plenary authority.
>Yarvin lives in San Francisco with his wife Jenn Kollmer and their two children.
>American monarchists
>American people of Jewish descent
Jewish pro-market monarchist and married with children. Doesn't sound like alt-right or a neo-Nazi to me.
Nathan Flores
Urbit is everything wrong with literally every single part of its composition. It's a magical feat of retardation. It's what happens when cancer is allowed to proliferate to the extreme.
David Gonzalez
NRx =/= alt-right or national socialism. If you bothered to read anything he's written you would find he directly opposes both, but of course you aren't interested in that and just wish to slander him.

Ok, it's definitely autism.

His overall beliefs are schizophrenic nonsense but he has a couple cool ideas. The cathedral-state dynamic being among them. Makes some legitimate criticisms of democracy.
John Thomas
It's way too similar to the IBM guy rants. What if skizos are somewhat right? Why do they always end about big government conspiracies?
Jaxon Wilson
Your browser is fucked, pal.
Joshua Lee
There's almost always a kernel of truth in the ranting of schizos... they're just too disconnected to express it properly.
Austin Kelly
>His overall beliefs are schizophrenic nonsense but [his #1 main most important idea is right]
Man, even on 4channel people can't admit they agree with Moldbug without the "I know he is a lunatic, but..." song and dance.

From what I understood from that clusterfuck of confusing four-letter onion-tastic names for every little thing, the VM is a barebones state machine interpreter for an esoteric language, with a few local services. I have a hard time imagining how you can make something even remotely complex and performance-heavy with this. And I'm utterly confused as to where the processing power in the "cloud" to run the VMs comes from if we're denying "megacorps" so hard.
William Wood
Maybe you should read his blog before talking bullshit, you'd be surprised. Instead of letting people describe his opinions for you, go read them.
