that glitch

Thinking of the ones I know:
- likes talking to people
- learns through tinkering
- catches their abstractions that don't match reality
- spends time reading

It struck me that pet names could actually work with the Reticulum network stack more than with IP, because you actually take your Reticulum address with you when you move in the network. You can't do that with IP addresses, hence the need for DNS.

If I had to identify a list of skills in high impact engineers, it would include:

- ecological awe
- intellectual humility
- respect for the complexity of unfamiliar problems
- cross functional communication
- resilience engineering
- marketing and sales

(“Technical skills” aren’t in my top ten)

Amazing!

How did you do this? What were the hard parts?

And any kind of ideas you're hoping people will build on/with this from here?

It's pencils down at the hackathon. I put 236 years of US copyright law into a git repository. Every Act of Congress from 1790 to today is a commit. Still some work to be done, and things got frantic at the end, but I'm proud of this! github.com/katelynsills...

Wikipedia hover box screenshot with portrait and text: Arthur Norman Prior, usually cited as A. N. Prior, was a New Zealand-born logician and philosopher. Prior (1957) founded tense logic, now also known as temporal logic, and made important contributions to intensional logic, particularly in Prior (1971).

it's pretty fun that the founder of temporal logic was called Arthur Prior

"Crypto was a community that had been building for almost a decade. Economic design was what they did.

And nobody had addressed the economic design problem that made their conference weeks full of over-hyped but mostly empty events?"

Here is my attempt.

Working on zkal, I realised I was tackling a general problem: returning to the benefits of open data for communities, but with modern privacy protection for the individual.

Came up with a pattern that might be useful (or flawed!)

Yeah, there's a polarity here. I can't keep banging my head against the same walls, but at the same time, there a million things I haven't tried.

Persisence isn't necessarily repetition.

A few other community leaders (not crypto people) have said they see value in the privacy, so might try there.

You always find great stuff!

Too bad Index is on the opposite end about privacy.

My starting point is no possible disclosure through architecture, the byzantine generals problem against an AI dragnet.

They're a vc-funded centrally-hosted AI platform. 😇

Fediverse Report – #149 – On Protocol Governance On the complexities of protocol governance.

"using network architecture to solve issues of power distribution simply shifts bottlenecks rather than eliminating them. A decentralised protocol does not automatically produce decentralised governance, it also moves power to different, less visible places."

Not running MacOS, but for this, and general supply chain attacks, I run all my dev in qemu VMs. Repos mounted from host, but never credentials.

Has some nice benefits, like being able to restart fresh dev environments quickly.

Given today's LiteLLM supply chain attack, what are people's preferred development environment sandboxes on MacOS these days?

I think it's time I started running my development environments somewhere where rogue code can't steal all my ~/... credential files

Clawdbot’s rename to Moltbot sparks impersonation campaign This Moltbot impersonation campaign is a case study in supply-chain risk, brand hijacking, and what happens when open source goes viral.

The Moltbot rename and supply-chain attacks that followed: www.malwarebytes.com/blog/threat-...

I run all my dev in a hardened container, but this type of attack grabs API keys silently, and uses them to watch communication. Any ideas on mitigation?

We cannot let them get away with this.

And the solution is not to chop of a head of this hydra and call it a day - but to fundamentally change how we do things.

I'm glad this is coming to the forefront.

I was deeply inspired by Nikolai Mushgian's attitude to this ( see nikolai.fyi and look at dmap, dpack and minicash's doc )

I even made a little game about this philosophy for Devcon SEA: immutalists.infinite.build
