there was this great thread in /gnussr/ (>>>/gnussr/res/206 ) about possibly taking the knowlege we have on cybernetics, and using it to create the framework of a planned economy, using foss, however the project died, how about we revive it?.
the steps would be the same as in the thread, who is up for this?, is there is willingness to do it then i will create a thread to discuss the details of the kind of planing we want, as well as other things as network structures and other things
Making planing software

Sure I'm down but only if we ditch the retarded "harmony" function shit and go straight linear optimisation for everything as cockshott argues is possible in this paper. It makes the whole process more powerfull (as it does not compartmentalize things and can optimize for different production possibilities and products) and simple.
Although I imagine it won't be as interesting to develop then, would it?
Also preferably some kind of functional language, or at the very least statically typed. Im not doing fucking python or javascript shudders
I think I finally feel somewhat confident in both my knowledge of planning and my SE skills to contribute to this stuff.
Austin Jones
It's scala then.
Ryan Cooper
I'd have to learn scale but I imagine its not that hard.
Adrian Mitchell
Jesus what the fuck is this syntax. Why does it look like fucking java if its functional?
Jeremiah Reed
It runs in JVM if that explains the syntax in any way. Apache spark library is native to scala, which I would imagine is useful for this kind of application.
Jordan Gray
That's retarded, software like this is developed as-needed. We have no reason to start writing code now because we have no idea what a real cybernetic lefty economy will need in particular. We would be using existing infrastructure, after all.
Cooper Jackson
We could make some simulations for fun.
Aiden Smith
I guess, but it'd be more fun to simulate lolbert economics to watch things devolve into a catastrophic mess.
Ethan Adams
i agree on kantorovich, only if we ditch the money side of his proposal, so no targets are set in terms in money, and products are not bought and sold, they are assigned in other way, this probably has to be labour vouchers, we are after all trying to abolish the contradictions of capitalism
