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.”

“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

What are your reflections on “The Mother of All Demos”?

Follow Spaces to explore your interests on Quora.

Heterarchy is emerging as an important concept with respect to globalization and national and international governance.

A heterarchy possesses a flexible structure made up of interdependent units, and the relationships between those units are characterized by multiple intricate linkages that create circular paths rather than hierarchical ones.

Heterarchies are best described as networks of actors—each of which may be made up of one or more hierarchies—that are variously ranked according to different metrics. Etymologically speaking, the term is made up of the Greek words heteros, meaning “the other,” and archein, meaning “to rule.”

separation of the Idea into parts by dividing it at the joints as nature directs, not breaking any part in half as a bad carver might

gathering of scattered particulars into one Idea so that everyone understands what is being talked about;

“two principles” about defining Ideas (in the Phaedrus)

Lisp-like dynamics to do experiments with “differential programming” (meaning: various ways to accomplish “this is like that except”).

All relies on the cleanliness of mind of programmers (and even the most clean of these often just do things they need when in the throes of debugging).

the mechanism itself let too many semantically different things to be “done” (aka “kluged”) by the programmer

What does Alan Kay think about inheritance in object-oriented programming?

While pondering these ideas in the late 60s, I found that the “real AI” (I have to use this term today yikes!)

What did Alan Kay and Steve Jobs talk about at the 2007 iPhone keynote?

Holochain takes distributed apps beyond DeFi and NFTs to address coordination at scale with self-owned data and peer accountability.

This palpable, active, ongoing grief is a non-negotiable part of this period of immense change. Grief is one of the most beautiful and difficult ways we love. As we grieve we feel our humanity and connection to each other. Building the path from this heartbreaking present to a future where we center our collective existence in love and care is where we come in. We are the ones shining light on the lies and inconsistencies in our current reality, and we are the ones dreaming up, remembering and practicing mutual ways of being in community with each other. We are learning how to grieve without disappearing, and we are refusing to normalize this terror. We are scholars of belonging and accountability, releasing ourselves from the reductive protocols of punitive culture. We are protesting injustice wherever we find it, while forging the pathways to a justice we cocreate. We are releasing either/or thinking, and we are outgrowing every construct meant to divide and disempower us. We understand that this is an extinction point, and we are not just interested in survival – we want a just world for future generations and for the earth. Each day, we are the ones creating more possibilities. We at ESII see how this community is showing up to hold each other, to grieve, to care for each other, to practice the future together. We love you, we trust you, we grieve with you, and we change with you.

attempting continually to transcend the flawed thing that you currently are and what's so interesting about that is that the meaning in life is to be found in that pursuit

have enough humility to set the bar properly low then you could be better tomorrow than you are today you might say well what's the right way of being in the world if there is such a thing

life is bounded by 00:02:55 mortality but that doesn't mean that you don't get out there and contend and you develop by contending and you minimize the net amount of suffering in the world and that's something man that's something to do

it's a luxury to pursue what makes you happy it's a moral obligation to pursue what you find meaningful

should be more afraid of staying where you are if it's making you miserable

no faith and no courage and no sacrifice in doing what is expedient

based on the acceptance of what  is. As Oxford Languages defines it: “The capacity to accept or  tolerate delay, trouble,   or suffering without getting angry or upset.”

Impatience is the  unwillingness to live life at the pace it   actually happens; we wish for the universe  to bend to our will. We want things now.   We want things to change in an instant. But in  reality, external circumstances are not up to us:   00:02:51 no matter how much we wish that to be  the case.

The Meaning of Decentralization

If you migrate to a different server, then all existing links to your content continue to work and you keep your social graph without needing to tell anyone your new host. It's magical. Compare this to changing email, where you must tell all your contacts about your new address.

Martin Kleppmann@martinklFolks moving to Mastodon are swapping a service run by a capricious egomaniac for one where the admin of your home instance controls everything about your account. And you probably don't know what your server admin is like when you sign up. Is this really much better?
