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. Compare that with this Coldcard page:

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... that happens to be remarkably similar to an actual IETF dr

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 upstream libwacom as well.

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 user can instance his own "PDS

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 "Could Not Add Desktop"

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 would be curious to see an actual performance e

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 with its own validator and supporting different

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

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

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 easier. You can actually add or remove any s

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 called its data structure a 'weav

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 covid. The south is still friendly. Austin is inc

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, for acknowledgements. The antimatter a

Lovely analysis! But one issue: it's not actually the case that "all CRDTs are OTs". OT is the feature of Transforming and Operation . This requires two things: (1) Operations, and (2) Transforming them so that they do t

Duplication isn't always bad. It's often rational. I wrote an academic paper explaining why, and offering a solution: https://invisible.college/toomim/toomim-linked-editing.pdf > Abstractions can be cost
