IBM’s design of the single-level storage was originally conceived and pioneered by Frank Soltis in the late 1970s as a way to build a transitional implementation to computers with 100% solids state memory. The thinking at the time was that disk drives would become obsolete, and would be replaced entirely with some form of solid state memory.

One of the interesting features of NLS was that its user interface was parametric and could be supplied by the end user in the form of a "grammar of interaction" given in their compiler-compiler TreeMeta. This was similar to William Newman's early "Reaction Handler" [Newman 66] work in specifying interfaces by having the end-user or developer construct through tablet and stylus an iconic regular expression grammar with action procedures at the states (NLS allowed embeddings via its context free rules)

Twitter’s collapse into an unusable wreck is some time off, the engineer says, but the telltale signs of process rot are already there. It starts with the small things: “Bugs in whatever part of whatever client they’re using; whatever service in the back end they’re trying to use. They’ll be small annoyances to start, but as the back-end fixes are being delayed, things will accumulate until people will eventually just give up.”

Value

f "What is value?" was the ultimate question

“Wealth is most essentially knowledge,” Mr. Gilder says. “Let’s face it, the caveman had access to all the materials we have today. Therefore, economic growth is learning, manifested in ‘learning curves’ of collapsing costs driven by markets.” Yet these learning curves get waved away by economists. Mr. Gilder says information, not materials, drives growth: “Crash a car and all its value disappears, though every molecule remains.”

forkable uh so they're forkable at the software layer

therefore that i i think that we all live on the intel instruction set there's a whole lot would seem to me 00:27:08 that the the way we push towards uh more diversity of of structure of algorithmic rules and and methods that actually then i suppose tie those together so a lot of these interoperability protocol 00:27:21 solutions polka dot cosmos and so forth so listen to every smart contract essentially a set of algorithmic rules uh i mean that's right

the ethereum virtual machine being this this base layer he thinks of the algorithm he says i 00:26:31 think of this sort of algorithmic dependency as being something like you know animal farm there's there's this one set of rules that ultimately is the base layer around which we are all compelled to live by right 00:26:43 and and that's i just found that a very disturbing way of thinking about it and it struck me that as much as you know there are great intentions behind uh all of the core developers i would imagine or most of the core developers in a lot of these decentralized systems 00:26:55 and as much as it is an open source system there is still a lot of bias that gets baked into algorithms

the vision there is that instead of technology enabling a small set of equity owners to stack up value 00:25:55 more quickly and larger than ever in history uh governance can be decentralized on these platforms and people can have much greater ownership much greater agency on lots of these different networks that there's 00:26:07 pickup participating the trust layer component of this right because you know i think uh you're right there's a lot more built into this system that will hopefully prevent us from 00:26:19 ending up in some other centralized world
