Love this - modern governance has yet to take advantage of the information revolution


I do wonder if self-host or centralised are the only options.

Something like IPFS, but that works remains my dream - decentralised, but in the cloud nonetheless.


Maybe with ai assistants, everybody is effectively technical?


Then the AI assistants will be the middle men.


So anything external we depend on is a middleman at this point. We need to do better than this. :P


I wonder if IPFS or some form of distributed storage will ever be good enough as an alternative?


The "acquired by Microsoft" curse. OpenAI is already ongoing!


Can't win.


lolol Gemini


Although I find my brainspace being dedicated to thinking about memory, rather than the problem at hand.

Which can be a worthwhile cost if the benefits of speed and security are needed. But I think it's certainly a cognitive cost.


You can use RC liberally to avoid thinking about memory though. The only memory problem to think about then is circular refs, which GC languages also don't fully avoid.


I'm surprised we still don't get github for laws (or do we?) with useful automations like suggested garbage collection.

Wasn't collaboration at scale the reason Tim Berners-Lee worked on the web at CERN? :)



No we don't.


Would be nice to systematically start with problems of the non-uv world to highlight the specific value of uv.

But nice read!
