Folks what has Meta got to do with engineering? Their products suck, we all use them because of network effects, nothing else mostly...

I suppose cloud won because: - nobody wants to deal with the networking stack on the internet - you want servers alive all the time - it's businesses running their software on servers to serve to customers Do these apply to AI?

We need to move to IPFS or something federated for source code

Love this - modern governance has yet to take advantage of the information revolution

I do wonder if self-host or centralised are the only options. Something like IPFS, but that works remains my dream - decentralised, but in the cloud nonetheless.

Maybe with ai assistants, everybody is effectively technical?

I wonder if IPFS or some form of distributed storage will ever be good enough as an alternative?

The "acquired by Microsoft" curse. OpenAI is already ongoing!

Although I find my brainspace being dedicated to thinking about memory, rather than the problem at hand. Which can be a worthwhile cost if the benefits of speed and security are needed. But I think it's certainly a cognitive cost.

I'm surprised we still don't get github for laws (or do we?) with useful automations like suggested garbage collection. Wasn't collaboration at scale the reason Tim Berners-Lee worked on the web at CERN? :)

Would be nice to systematically start with problems of the non-uv world to highlight the specific value of uv. But nice read!

Bought it but never read it - is it worth pushing through?

I hear you. But what's integration in calculus? :)

Love this, thanks for posting! I actually learnt a lot by following your links, from brutalist architecture to my new favourite tool nimbletext :) Great little hack.

imo the problem with UST vs DAI was not under vs over collateralisation, but rather that Luna supporting UST had its value tied to UST adoption. On the other hand, DAI is collateralised by things like Eth, which could also in theory crash,

This reminds me a lot of Erlang/Elixir's distributed processes: https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/distributed-... .

I suspect the following is a big factor. Quantitative easing has found its way in property and crypto asset price rises, in addition to inflated startup funding. The latter is finally trickling into higher wage competition. People then move

Reminds me of this video of Paul Graham, where he says that startup ideas like a beautiful woman to a nerd, "if you got me, you wouldn't have a clue what to do with me"! [see 3:00 onwards ish in video] https://www.
