Sure, but also recognize: web browsers constitute a mature, multi-polar ecosystem; we do not clutch pearls when a user chooses Firefox, or Safari, or Chrome (or myriad others) to transact on the web. Can a bad actor slap a green lock on an

We've really done one over on ourselves by adopting the mental model that only a vertically integrated corp can deliver privacy and security to users. This rigid tendency towards homogeneity is bound to suffer a tragic systemic failure

The answer is some combination of two phenomena: 1. The Innovator's Dilemma ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma ) This is the premise that a mature incumbent will usually fail to respond fast e

I understand where you are coming from. I think we agree that there is something dysfunctional about mass media and its relationship with those who consume it in 2023. But, we probably disagree about the nature of that dysfunction. My favor

There is a thread that I think I may agree with here - something along the lines of the regression towards the acceptable sexual mean in mass media - but you specifically called out a trend where "people have become regressive about se

The claim that game culture has become sexually repressive doesn't pass the smell test for me. In 2023 I can play mainstream "AAA" games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3. These games have non-trivial systems desig

Shameless plug: if you are interested in viewing and/or embedding glTF or USDZ files on the web, I worked on an HTML element for that called <model-viewer> "It's like <img> or <video> tag for 3D models"

Currently we have a CLI that demonstrates multi-device synchronization in principle. You can install it using `cargo install noosphere-cli` (it installs a binary called "orb"). We also have pre-built binaries of orb for x86_64 Lin

Gordon is the better founder to ask this question of. Alas, he does not dwell on Hacker News. I'm just the resident code monkey, but I'll offer you some of Gordon's topical blog posts for consideration: - https://s

Hey, thanks for the anecdote. It resonates with what I have come to realize about note taking: it is a personalized activity, and whatever keeps me in the habit of taking notes may or may not work for anyone else. Inevitably, Subconscious (

When we say "decentralized," we don't mean that your data is deliberately scattered around the network; we mean that the underlying infrastructure providers are fungible. In other words, you own your data because you can chan

Yes, it should be possible. Wikipedia is one of the great treasure troves of knowledge on the hypertext web. We want it to be very easy for Wikipedia-like things to emerge from Noosphere.

Anytype seems to be playing in the same general space that we are. But, all I know about it is what I can glean from their website, so I can't say for sure how similar it is in concrete terms. To offer one distinction: while both proje

You're not missing something. It's a little reductive, but the protocol did start with the use case of "notes on IPFS." One of the essential benefits of this protocol above and beyond content stored on IPFS is: you get h

Sorry for the confusion! It's a borrowed concept from the domain of IPFS ( https://ipfs.io/ ). There is a short introduction to the concept here: https://docs.ipfs.io/guides/concepts/cid/

Hi there, I work with Gordon (OP) on Subconscious and Noosphere. This is a topic that we take seriously and think about a lot together. We've had some good discussions in our Discord, and some of our motivating goals have manifested as

Yes, we have considered the likely social dynamics of a discussion space with and without a code of conduct. The discussion space is for our project which we are inviting other humans to contribute to. We are open and welcoming to all, but

"We should improve society somewhat..." Seriously though, I would be happy to have a polite discussion about the reason for our choices in our Discord server!

I haven't put it through a rigorous test, but I can confirm that if I leave the laptop suspended without power, it will eventually lose its charge and shut off in what seems like a day. I only did this once by accident over a weekend;

I don't have a well-formed opinion one way or the other, but it is interesting to me that this comment made it to the top of HN. By contrast, a submission about Tailscale raising the same amount of money had comments that simply sounde

I consider myself a centrist in this debate. I don't think "crypto" technology is one giant scam (though there is a lot of scamming taking place), and I don't think it has delivered on most of its promises either (I susp

Even if I didn't already have well-formed opinions on this topic, reading the comments here would be enough to convince me that "tech" does not speak with any sort of unified voice on this topic. I wonder if we will start ide
