whaack: asciilifeform: following from http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/ossasepia/2019-09-23#1003544 I am considering submitting to training under diana_coman, but before I pulled the trigger I thought I should stop here and ask if you feel it would be wiser for me to submit to training under you. Is this something you are interested in, and if so what would be required of me for you to take me?

asciilifeform: whaack: i can't answer this w/out knowing ~something~ about your interests
whaack: asciilifeform: Okay, I think that itself deserves a blog post. The short answer is: programming (i have enjoyed going through SICP quite a bit, although its on hold, I want to learn how to program faster to eat through lots of saltmine work quickly), cryptography (i want to have trb "fit in head"), learning 2nd language (Spanish) , playing the guitar
asciilifeform: whaack: to learn how to work fast and 'with system', imho you oughta ask to study under diana_coman
asciilifeform: languages -- best learned by living with people who know'em
asciilifeform: cryptography -- eat the ffa series; ( diana_coman btw is an escaped mathematician and has eaten the whole thing , can prolly answer q's re subj as well as asciilifeform can)
asciilifeform: music -- afaik we dun have a master of music yet.
asciilifeform: whaack: so far loox to me like diana_coman is best fit for you to study under. see whether will agree. but yer welcome to ask q's here as you do homeworks , i will try to answer'em as time permits.
asciilifeform: whaack: i still recommend to write that blog post -- it does wonders for putting contents of your head in order
whaack: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2019-09-23#1000517 << ty for the advice re different topics and ack.
