Is there common URI scheme these days for addressing bytes by their hash ?

Here is an @iroh.computer teaser, showing web browser finding a iroh node (on my machine) replicating two dialog db's that you can connect to via WebRTC transport (without relays)

Anyone knows why did:plc does not support ed25519 keys for rotation. p256 has suspicion of backdoor and k256 is not supported by web crypto

🤔Maybe issue isn’t amount of slop LLMs generate, but an amount required to do those things 🫣

Thinking of coining "serviceless architecture" term to describe dialog's deliberate choice of syncing without server component which cost some efficiency, but prevents lock-in.

There is a twisted irony for companies right now. In Satya's latest article "A frontier without an ecosystem is not stable," he warned about a future where "a few models eat everything they see." That phrase captures the bet companies are making right now whether they realise it or not.

The industrial revolution organized companies around the production line. The computer revolution organized them around the database. What will be the organizing principle of the AI revolution?

Lot of active dialog development takes place there, stop by if you want to chat or see some demos that aren't ready for general public

Carry is a CLI tool we built on top of Dialog-DB to make the source of truth problem tractable in practice. A structured, persistent collective memory. The schema forms at query time. Repositories sync whenever they connect. Try it: github.com/tonk-labs/carry

If you give people opportunity to follow their passion that's what they’ll do as opposed to pursuing enrichment goals of already disproportionately fortunate ones 🤯

If you suspected LLMs may be affecting our critical thinking capacity, you were and there’s scientific research proving it. If you think you’re not affected you’re more likely to have surrendered

🤔I wish it was clear why UCANs alone not suffice here. Ability to revoke is important, but it would appear that addressing that would be simpler and more complementary. This isn’t a criticism, it’s desire to seek understanding

🎯 Need for shared indexes is what you run against when trying to decentralize. Not only we need shared index, but everyone just need a small slice of it. This was original motivation of dialog-db, what if we could collectively own shared index that you can query without having to replicate it all

I do miss work culture in Netherlands where I was actively deterred from staying in office after hours or doing any work outside. I was always told to invest this time into social life. Was young and stupid to appreciate back then

Found myself trying to manifest algebraic effects in rust through docs.rs/genawaiter/l... Yet still can’t articulate clearly why this is justifiably better than dependency injection at construction

This crate implements generators for Rust. Generators are a feature common across many programming language. They let you yield a sequence of values from a function. A few common use cases are:

Sadly business incentives are strong force that makes businesses prefer native apps as they can assert more control over users, ads are unblock-able and tracking isn’t as easy to stop

Looks like people are rediscovering that protocols enable building complementary software which better aligns with public needs than competing software. I just wish some of this excitement could be channeled towards upgrading protocols like SMTP

I've been collaborating on Dialog: a new kind of database that I plan to make use of in #Familiar. At Local-First Conference I gave a hallway track demo of how users of the database may query over partial replicas (even empty replicas). Here is a screen cast of the demo: youtu.be/0a_Nb2CAoJc?...

Really enjoying Arc browser, which seems to have made some of the similar UX choices as we have in browser.html Also built-in tool to customize sites you visit is really empowering.
