It's interesting that I disagree with all of these points.

I'm starting to notice that LLMs tend to speak in the form of movie trailers. Say this in a deep masculine dramatic voice: One man. One gun. A story that would could never die. Com…

This is a nice writeup of the problems in using Webhooks for State Synchronization. I also noticed that the proposed solution is a pseudo IETF-style draft protocol called SCROLL...…

Complex Message Transfer Protocol

Good point. You don't even need to rename the upstream project. Just create a new project, and get the code there. Since it's open source, it will eventually make its way into the …

AT does have instances. They are just grouped differently. In BlueSky, there is only one single "AppView" instance in the entire network. There is one instantiated "Firehose". Each…

Because tribalism. NAACP is lefty, and Musk is righty. So they fight.

I just installed it, but I can't get it to switch spaces, or show the grid overlay. It just beeps at me with the "you can't do that" beep. When I click "Add Desktop", it says "Coul…

It's compiled to wasm for "performance", but... 1. WASM FFI has a big overhead when interacting with the javascript DOM. 2. Any DOM UI has a big overhead compared to a canvas. I wo…

How do you compare this to the effort in https://braid.org , which is also a decentralized web, which adds subscriptions that can operate in a tree (or DAG) of reactive state, each…

If you like darcs, try Pijul. It's darcs' spiritual successor, and quite performant and capable.

"An AI model is incapable of that." "Good designers will reject this." ^ Famous last words.

It released in February 2026.

How about hacking a remarkable e-ink tablet as an easy prototype? The remarkable is basically a "better paper" already.

The git porcelain is functional, like a toilet.

You can generically represent copies and renamed (aka "moves") in a CRDT, OT or CTM using a Portal: https://braid.org/meeting-62/portals

Pijul does both. It's a VCS, that is a CRDT, that preserves conflicts until a human resolves them. Look it up: https://pijul.org It also makes cherrypicking and rebasing wayyyy eas…

CRDTs actually have a long history in version control. - The original 1977 version control system, SCCS, was a CRDT: https://braid.org/meeting-60/sccs-is-a-time-collapse - It calle…

It depends strongly on the city, and became more pronounced since covid. Seattle is the worst. They call it the "seattle freeze." The San Francisco Bay Area became almost as bad in…

You can do this by (1) extending your CRDT into a CTM (see https://braid.org/time-machines ) and then (2) use the antimatter algorithm (braid.org/antimatter), or something similar,…

From just 14 hours ago!?

Faster and cheaper transactions that don't get locked up by the whims of a bureaucracy. They continue to operate on non-business days.

You're fixed on just one of the 3 definitions for the word "constitution"—the one about government. The more general definition of "constitution" is "that which constitutes" a thin…

South Park predicted it AGAIN
