this is only true is your codebase is infinitely large. which begs the question: why do you keep making your codebase infinitely large? seems like it would be better to make the whole os, like, 225k lines of code or so.

the recent security incidents are going to 100x the demand for open source models the software security game is now: the side that wins is the one that can deploy the most tokens so every organization will rush to harden their software, the demand for tokens will 100x because if you don’t want to get pwned, you *have* to use ai now

Where have we seeing sigil-related solutions to @zooko’s triangle before..?

Base-1353 encoding, so I can fit 256-bit values, like “96cca2a0c8a3263c74ef36274abf55f410d992034d16e8285811a9ad3fc59c13”, into short 26 character strings, like “ᓒᔳᣏዧᐎᑙᖜዌᙔᐸƫȶƃᒨዊጶᙵኻѫyፐᎉᑫᖫᘪᒩ”. Also, I think these sigils are beautiful. johnservil.github.io/sigil/p…

what does it take for me to get %obelisk, %graph-viz, and %heathcliff on Aero? They're all the same 3-panel UI, one could swipe through on an endless loop.

Only solution is building your own programming language and only run local software, nothing leaves the computer!

If you wanted to host your own little corner of the internet, with complete control over who gets access, regardless of if it gets any usage whatsoever, what stack do you pick? Is it finally time that I actually run Urbit? Something else? I'd run a forum but they're all PHP...

Hello, Urbit.

An uncomfortable conversation that is going to need to be had soon is whether >10Mloc operating systems are a remotely good idea in the first place (answer : no) and whether we should actually just switch to microkernels (answer : yes). Goodbye Windows, Mac, and yes, even Linux.

Urbit is the answer for computer id. In light of recent events, it’s still the light way.

wanted a nicer way to use urbit apps on my phone across planets so i built this. if an app has an aero manifest in its desk it will use the swift version of the app (you can see it when i switch to %seer below). i wonder if you can somehow ship compiled swift in a desk…
