not sure if it’s clear yet tbh. capitalism is alive and well, and public goods funding will not scale internationally if it’s controlled by the us.

(author here) your point is well taken. in the article, one of the main reasons i say that while it’s important to not get caught in the crypto jargon - it’s also important to not ignore the technology paradigm behind it. giving people an i

re (1) - how do you think about doing (1)? one of the biggest challenges in hosting this is who pays for the electricity in running the machines! re (2) - I wish we had a way to do subjects that touched no nerves on the internet. that said

this is a really interesting point, thanks for pointing to it. Flarium to me competes with discourse in many ways, vs say, Reddit. one of the biggest challenges to this model (IMO) has been that there is no "subreddit" or "st

how would such a protocol achieve distribution?
105.
by viksit 3y ago
no but the reverse is.

by viksit 3y ago

perhaps a spacy pipeline using gpt and huggingface?

by viksit 3y ago
at this point the gpt api will do all of that for you! or you can use the embeddings api and build your own systems.

ah interesting. won’t multi sig solve this issue? create multiple keys, and have a 2/3. if you lose one, hope you don’t lose the other. and also - there may be a way for the naming contract to use social recovery for keys.
