Exactly - you’re compelled to cheat and have to find out how to get away with it since you _know_ others are doing it. It’s a huge issue. Very interesting psychology. Joe Rogan has a few episodes on it but I can’t remember who he interviewe

It's less about the web and more about the computations we're running. The stack end-to-end is inefficient because software quality is lackluster and deficient of craftsmanship. This is mostly because the hardware enabled this typ

Frankly I find this completely disgusting and predatory. The marketing is clearly trying to appeal to a popularity contest individual. It specifically targets Gen-Z and wants to offer them 4x their average credit given out today. The refere

Yeah, I just want to have fun. I know it's a lot already but I crave that deep sound. Techno go boom. lol

Yggdrasil seems to solve that fine https://yggdrasil-network.github.io It's not "Ethereum is just..." Urbit is sacrificing accessibility by adding complexity which Ethereum is, on top of the reputation of what cry

Apple rarely introduces breaking tech. They release optimized tech that makes good products. Rarely first to market - they experiment, learn, adapt, and go in when confident.

I have no idea why those chose Ethereum as a backing cryptographic protocol. It stains the project in my opinion. I don't see it disrupting IP/DNS with cryptographic identities. I'd argue that Kademlia DHT does that in a more

I hear you - I'm in a similar opinion.

I think everyone has the capability to be "true genius" - it's a matter of accessibility and letting people express themselves as they imagine. Of course this is a reduction and the means to get to that idealism is tough. How

Definitely agree with you. The practical implementation that it is, vs what it advertises itself as visionary-wise.

by dfischer 6y ago
I think it's what Urbit markets itself as, but the implementation is "just a VM" - with the potential to innovate further. The networking layer is where I thought they'd make a difference but they ended up settling just

I 100% agree with this and was just talking about this in another thread on one of my earlier comments. I love what Plan 9 and Oberon was working on. I feel many are feeling similar at this point given the frequency I'm running into th

That’s enough to cause a leak in facts in my book. The straw that broke the camels back.

I haven’t seen the talk actually. I’m increasingly more interested in this problem space and it’s good to find like-minded people and ideas. Thanks for sharing. I’ll look into it!

If there is no escape from this then I’m gutted from my sense of purpose. I envision a world where all concepts are accessible without genius or contrived complexity. I don’t agree with the bell curve intuitively. I feel that it’s a result

I just picked up two Teenage Engineering synths based on the reviews of unique UX and just having fun. I was really eyeing the Moog subharmonicon and or drummer. Would either of those compliment well with Teenage Eng op-1 and op-z?

Makes sense. Is it enough pressure to power a rudimentary digital computation without needing another source of power? Hmm.
237.
by dfischer 6y ago
I don't agree with that conclusion that it just works. I'd argue that it doesn't work and gives the false illusion of things working right or well. There's a lot to unpack there. Another way to describe it is that softwa

At what rate? Is there enough geological movement to induce a change of pressure? What type of gradient/size/rate is needed here?

Thank you. I’m incredibly interested in the UX paradigms demonstrated within Oberon. I’d like to play with that and get some inspiration for a few ideas I’ve been mulling about. Thanks!

A try I shall do! I’ve had some interesting ideas with it but I feel stupid and or silly reasoning about it. For the sake of experimentation and fun I’ll definitely play around soon.
