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 sounds interesting!

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 language and toolset. All the best with it! P.S. It would al

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++) instead? If possible, that would remove a big adoption barr

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 today in the first place. Divestment of power, not accumula

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 anyway.

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 advocate, not my personal point of view).

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 Fusion. I’m not sure there is any point trying to do what yo

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 satisfy your curiosity. Whether you're right or w

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 script yourself). Should be ready in a month or so if you’re i

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 the ones they do!

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 are never considered in the same light.)

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 pay the salaries of the people who happen to do it themselves.

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. So to say they haven't done "the same kind of ho

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 succeed or fail, that are never ever repeatable due to the pas

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 there is not even a single definition of many of the underlying

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 the quality of life that would give you. P

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 terms of the effect of fear (a lack of trust) or isolation

Yes I found the grayscale surprisingly effective. An additional tip is to bind it to the triple-click side button accessibility shortcut, so you can quickly enable/disable it if you need colour for something momentarily.

I agree - busy building to solve that :)

I don't think anti-capitalist is a useful label in this context. There doesn't have to be a contradiction in being pro-capitalist and also being pro-eat-the-rich. A situation of extreme inequality that is likely to precipitate an
