Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[CatMan]

This is fucking ridiculous.

Basically.

Look, how about we just skip the extra work for you, and added delay for us, and release it now with said instructions. Gets it over with.

We both know there will always be a portion of people who won't do the recommended loops anyway. So let's just get this out there and go with it with the instructions.

I couldn't do that even if I wanted to.  Ben hasn't linked it up yet because I wasn't finished.  I'll have him link it regardless, but it's going to take some time either way.  In the mean time, I'll keep trying, but at this point I suspect something or someone is trying to prevent me from releasing this, and I'm sick of the crap.

These things happen. I believe it's a good thing, here's why...

I think I know what's wrong:

Since it's such a new program, such new technology, so far beyond AOL's level, the models can't even fully quantify what they're dealing with. Like asking a fish to compare a tricycle to a Ducati. So getting a reliable number isn't feasible. That's my view. I've had similar issues in business at times. Sounds like your models need to be built out a bit more to reflect the new potency. This is a very good sign of progress I believe. I bet that's the problem, Shannon. Try to relax, it's more indication of a large step forward here!
