That’s what I’m building, along with the invisible unified data model underneath, that is needed to tie everything together. Always glad for feedback, reach out in my profile if it…

Thanks! WebCC looks interesting. I like the attempt to be lean, but in the context of running an entire browser, my personal choice would be for a little runtime overhead vs a new …

Sounds interesting! But do you think it would be possible to achieve similar results without a new language, but with a declarative API in one of your existing languages (say, C++)…

That’s because you’ve become so accustomed to politics as tribalism and sports-like entertainment that you’ve completely forgotten why we even started the political systems we have…

All unregulated free market arguments rely on low/no barriers to entry. There are very few markets where this is true in reality.

Does it? I think it detaches them from _some_ of the consequences of devaluing their reputation or accountability, which is not quite the same thing.

But we also have a stake in our society, in the form of a reputation or accountability, that greatly influences our behaviour. So comparing us to an LLM has always been meaningless…

Oh I completely agree.

Startup = disruption = threat to existing control. If you love control and have control, why would you want to create fertile ground for startups? (This was meant as devil's advoca…

As someone who was in the same boat for a long time, I only clicked with Blender once I had a real need for it: In my case, creating an ad-style video for a product I’d created in …

> I think one of my personal core values is that curiosity should never be left unsatiated if ant all possible! I don't disagree: I just posited that there are other ways to satisf…

I think what's interesting/telling is you view (3) as less desirable. Alternatively, you could have spent that half hour on the train exercising your own creativity to try and sati…

Weirdly I’ve been building something along those lines for the last year. Not SQLite backed, but fully local and native (and also does non-local integrations, which you can also sc…

Interesting thanks, I wasn't aware of container2wasm. I do wonder what the output sizes are. They don't mention compatibility with CF's runtime, it is more restrictive than any of …

I wrote up my experience trying to do this in case it helps anyone else! There's a boilerplate repo at: https://github.com/saus-app/wasm-cf-boilerplate

Yes, like everything: Nylon might be my favourite example of us never being able to use innovation in moderation.

We do, you might find legal sentencing guidelines to be informative, they’ve already been dealing with this for a very long time. (E.g. It’s why a first offence and repeat offence …

The problem is that a lot of the most influential FOSS only exists because of VC capital (or other dysfunctional markets), either because they sponsor projects directly, or they pa…

Well if you want to continue the analogy, I could say: Apple at least invested in a SoC architecture years ago has already put it in a different league as far as AI capabilities go…

Or maybe it’s like Toyota and EVs.

Sure, but when you can’t clearly attribute the survivor’s survival, there’s still no meaningful conclusion to draw. And given how many different ways there are for businesses to su…

I think if we referred to LLMs as AK (Artifical Knowledge) instead of AI it would be easier to have more cohesive discussions. I don’t see how there can be a single truth when ther…

3rd world country or not - I hope you appreciate that you are incredibly fortunate for "ancient culture" and "history" to be 2 of your top 3 considerations for where to live and th…

Why did you choose to wake up as the child of a peasant in one country but the child of the president in another? Quality of life is inherently tied to trust and morality - both in…
