Room darkens. Young man in suit looking quite nervous, stands up in front of the room with a remote. Product development and other corporate sponsors and stakeholders line the polished wood table. Their line of cameras has been in decline. Their company is in trouble. The young man starts his Power Point deck with his remote and clears his throut. Projected on the screen on his first slide is a single word: "Texture"

I'm not sure what I like more, that it is "Guest post by the author of Octopusyarn" or references Vervaeke and McGilchrist. A couple nights ago my wife wanted me to watch something called 15 minutes of Internet on youtube on the tv. It was a collection of vine-like funny vids. As she was trying to find it, a lecture by McGilchrist came up as something we might want to watch. I laughed a bit at the incongruence, both the subject matter, and the fact that it was an hour and a half long lecture by McGilchrist. (bookmarking this, but I have to use a different client)

fetch messes up offline-first.

Today I'm figuring out if I can bypass the fetch based on a timestamp value in local storage without messing with the overall performance on initial load.

I've long been aware that intellectually timid/lazy folks whine about semantic triples, and yet they overload keys with semantic information. If you do the hard work of the knowledge graph first, you can eventually arrive at concise and powerful key-value pairs and get both worlds.

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
In flames our prophet witches
Be polite
A room full of glasses
He says "Your notches, liberation doll"
And he chains me with that serpent
To that Ethiopian wall
Anima rising
Queen of Queens
Wash my guilt of Eden
Wash and balance me
Anima rising
Uprising in me tonight
She's a vengeful little goddess
With an ancient crown to fight
Truth goes up in vapors
The steeples lean
Winds of change patriarchs
Snug in your bible belt dreams
God goes up the chimney
Like childhood Santa Claus
The good slaves love the good book
A rebel loves a cause
I'm leaving on the 1:15
You're darn right
Since I was seventeen
I've had no one over me
He says "Anima rising
So what
Petrified wood process
Tall timber down to rock"
Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
He says "We walked on the moon
You be polite"
Don't let up the sorrow
Death and birth and death and birth
He says "Bring that bottle kindly
And I'll pad your purse
I've got a head full of quandary
And a mighty mighty thirst"
Seventeen glasses
Rhine wine
Milk of the Madonna
Clandestine
He don't let up the sorrow
He lies and he cheats
It takes a heart like Mary's these days
When your man gets weak

For the Nostr crowd, the infrastructure problem is acknowledged. There is still a bit of fantasy in how it is addressed, but compared to a typical streaming service consumer, the understanding is much more sophisticated. This is also the Achilles heel of Bitcoin, in my mind, and why eventually culture will shepherd the infrastructure to centralized control for transactions. Like the WWW, the capability is there, but the instances end up matching cultural priorities. Trace the pragmatic financial motivations as we approach 21 million. Back to Nostr: The *crazy* thing is that the simple version of relays and simple signatures to validate events is exactly what we need, in my measure, for freedom from the infrastructure, but it is embedded in a culture where dev leaders all wannabe a typical social media app instead of a Scuttlebutt style "hey... in port. need water. what's the scuttlebutt today? what can I do to help." Along those lines I do appreciate Coracle more and more. Some of verbiricha/giorgio's work seems related and useful.

2026-05-30 13:19:39 GMT

You can see both the explosion and shift in culture around 2012. This was when the WWW showed its capability for collective intelligence. At the same time opportunists were figuring out how to capture and hijack the wealth for themselves. The story is not over. The tech is free; the power shift is a harder problem. The infrastructure for collaboration is harder still, but unacknowledged.

I see the truth of what you are saying. I have no trouble with criticism, and when I do get it, it is great to have. With my technical stuff as I'm feeling my way through this, absolutely. I've received a few useful bits... thinking back, @nprofile…tl66 gave me some feedback, as did @nprofile…xvky , and I've used that. I'm human. I can get wadded up sometimes; however, if somebody takes the time to think about what I'm saying, actually reads what I wrote, and offers some criticism, that is gold. I wasn't very clear (or perhaps confused, or perhaps just wrong). My main point was that my approach of sharing any/all with an untargetted audience made me noisy and defeated the benefit of sharing.

Sharing as I learned, particularly with my weird take and requirements, made me very noisy. I alienate folks quickly. The academics see my flaws (although, TBF, a small percentage of those flaws are features that they can't see through their training). The regular folks see me as clankerish noise, which is quite counter-productive, since they are my audience. Academics don't need my work. They are quite comfortable.

2026-05-29 16:39:53 GMT

Finally, before I STFU, my biggest mistake was sharing as I learned. I'm still learning. I wasn't a developer when I started. I had to figure that out. I knew nothing about knowledge graphs. I only knew Gane and Sarson DFDs were uniquely powerful yet simple. The absolute best guide is tracing simple programs to see where I'm failing in my understanding. Modern software ecosystems and tools hide the truth, particularly within an ecosystem of tools meant to deal with a giant knowledge graph: WWW.

My point is that humans are thriving just fine, us and our livestock. We are killing it! I have zero doubts about our success here. We have displaced almost all mammals. I've never eaten bugs, but there is no shortage of livestock. I eat meat. I don't care if you do or not.
One of the things embedded in the PNAS report [1] that is slightly easier to see, is that their are roughly as many domestic dogs by mass as all wild terrestrial mammals combined. Yup. Humans and their livestock are doing awesome!

It is odd to take an example model, go counter to how the author of the model used it, and say people are brainwashed for not using your version of the model from the perspective of your view of physics. It is Schrödinger's model. It worked a certain way to make a point. It wasn't his science, just illustrative.
My quantum mechanics kung fu is like pillow fighting: Small shit acts weird, and sometimes acts weird at a distance. Fast shit acts weird, too. Sometimes the universe appears to have resolution. We don't know for sure it doesn't, because we can only measure at a certain resolution. We know stuff is statistically there, and statistically flows continuously, but that small shit at a distance coupling is kind of spooky, and makes the resolution thing weirder. Then there is Stephen Wolfram's version (which appeals to me because graphs and small programs). I'm not a physicist though, nor do I wave that around to show I'm smart. It is interesting, sure, but I have no hill I'm fighting on. "Truth" will be different next year and the year after that.

"New Tribal Labyrinth reflects on our extremely advanced and complex society, in which over-consumption and limited raw materials play a crucial role. In AVL's vision, this will lead to conflict and the subsequent emergence of a new world order, with groups of people organizing themselves in tribes instead of nation-states. This new tribal world will see a return to farming and industry - which currently both have been banished from our society - and a re-establishment of our relationship with materials which now has been lost."

Life is electric From a looter perspective, this is the best time in history. We are coming down after a wonderful drink of cheap energy and feedstocks. But time is misleading. The last 150 years are a blip on the timeline. The magic of oil distorted time like we were four levels down in Inception. We thought we came up with the idea, but oil was both the source and the time distortion tech of dreams within dreams, divorced from reality in our slumber. Make no mistake, though, life is electric. The web of life will go on with or without us. It is so beautiful it cannot be described by words, and anything meaningful to say about it would require the discipline of Laura Riding Jackson, but still... nobody would understand. You have to be in/of/for/with the web of life. It is.
The boomers could have taken a different course. Their parents knew what was going on and told them. All of these folks tried to tell boomers:

https://villonfilms.ca/main/transcripts-dialectics-gregory-bateson-17-7-67.pdf
I'm a boomer myself. I did not listen. I did try more than most, though. I did my cabin in the woods/Walden/My Side of the Mountain thing and explored many subcultures that I thought would provide a better view. Mostly, though, the view was fleeting when I received it. I didn't understand enough for it to take. Now... my parents were just on the other side of boomer. My dad liked small block chevy engines and lots of loot. My grandfather had toilet paper printed like currency. I asked him about it, and he told me about gold and fiat, but I had no idea why that mattered at the time. I didn't disbelieve... I just couldn't understand. I'm also aware of some boomers that took up the torch.
Here are a couple:

I could go on, but I figure the only way this will be understood is in a different culture, refactored after collapse events. There will *never* be a shortage of self-righteous looters that believe in their looting and form a justifying religion around it. That behavior goes back thousands of years, back to the original mythologies of our civilizations, which go back roughly to the first written word as origin. And this is just a blip as well, just one level up in inception, still skewed.
Finally, I have to say that I am in total glee about what I got to see in my lifetime, what I got to experience, what I got to build and participate in. I built nationwide networks with CI/CD tools I brewed up decades before that was a thing. I thought computers and data were a force for the good. I realized later they were many things, but mostly a way to handle scaling and complexity, but this also came with extreme negative externalities. My present work might possibly be useful to future cultures. I doubt it, but there is a chance of it, and that is enough. I try and minimize the negative externalities, and am aware of where those might be. I am an optimist at heart, really, and in love with the web of life and humans in general. Fuck I've had a great life.
The boring religious droning about our brilliant progress, but lacking the attention span or sophistication to dig deeper and pull at the threads that have always been there, preferring to blame this or that generation, but never ourselves for our predicament, though, is something I have a hard time turning away from. I should, though. I should turn away from that. It is nothing new. Those looters have always been here. They have been here for thousands of years. It is very human. I think we are wired this way. I do think we can overcome this. I am an optimist after all. This is something I'm working on.

The FIPS stuff does have some good engineering behind it. Respect for that. I know from past interactions you know what engineering, design, and architecture is, Tim.
The iceberg, for me, is owned by Civilization and Its Discontents, by Sigmund Freud. It is a big-ole mess underneath with conflicting voices, some booming with authority, but most is based in shifting sand out of our control (mostly). Quite appropriate in either context.
My personal take is that this changes nothing. It just feels good, man. I can relate to this, though. I work for a future culture, not this one.
Also, I'm using Ed25519, not secp256k1 in my stuff, now, as it is a pragmatic choice. Of course, that diverges from the entire ecosystem you folks are building. For me, simple is "can I just open a page in a browser with a script tag and render?". Ed25519 is supported natively in modern browsers. I get it that for anything sophisticated, particularly some of the visualization stuff I use, the NPM ecosystem and a bundler like Rollup are required, but *whatever* I build has to have various features/views of the data at rest with < 100 lines of code. Sorry... an overloaded comment... BUT, I do want to stress my first sentence.

The trick takes subtlety worthy of the movie Inception. My kid moved out a couple months ago. Even when he was toilet training, he was doing fine until he realized his mom put up a board of stars to celebrate each poop. Then, we hung up a tiny John Deere tractor he got when he got rid of diapers, but that made it even worse. SOLID FUCKING WALL OF WILL. He walked to middle school, and my biggest Inception was making him think that high visibility orange clothing was his idea. I pulled that off. He wore *everything orange* until his aunt spilled the beans in high school that orange was my favorite color. I was raised old school (beat the fuck out of me if I don't do it now), but raising a kid without that kind of trauma and abuse is tricky.

I have much to learn, now, if I'm going to make this truly offline-first. So far I've been hedging by saying just use any modern browser. The problem is that a browser itself is more and more hijacked (ummm... intermediated). I want *one binary*. I need to learn Electron and IPC.

I regret few things around concerts, but I sure wish I had seen Germs or Crucifucks live at a show. Now, Doc Dart is 26 and won't swear, and, of course, Darby Crash's suicide was eclipsed by John Lennon's death... so that time has passed... not that I go to any shows now. Oh... not metal or punk but I wish I had gone to a Skid Roper and Mojo Nixon concert back in the day, too. And Flipper (yowser, Flipper is touring still... hmmm...).

Raspberry Pi running GNU/Linux is pretty cheap. What are you referring to? For the last half of my career I would buy Windows boxes w/ included OS purely for work, as my personal stuff was all GNU/Linux. It was usually at the $300 price point, which meant you could essentially get free hardware vs. the cost of the OS. I did the corporate BS on my windows box from home, often issued a corporate laptop at 10X that cost. Point is that all of those old boxes I acquired run GNU/Linux just fine, so I'm set for the rest of my life. I know this makes me a non-intersect with most, but if I was starting fresh, I'd seriously look at the Raspberry Pi system. I have an older run running off of a micro SD card (I would get better main storage for a daily driver... proper HDD).

Am I really just experiencing FOMO over my tulpa with other tulpas? And, now the tulpas are monetized. Further, the production is automated by machines, which makes the cloud of handshake messages even more disjoint from the real natural world (biosphere) we are consuming for our high-tech tulpas.

Serious here. New AI idea (that is probably already being used). If you want to communicate with somebody about an idea, current culture has been hijacked via many methods, some likely bad agents, some simply due to complicated systems. Each subculture has a set of memes that guides their shared cultural cognition in absence of ontological and epistemological grounding. What you need to do is understand the memes and tailor them towards the audience of your message. AI could scan the memes. It has the capability.
If I wanted to float a new idea on Nostr, I would scrape agorism.dev/meme and pin the idea within a set and gently tweak it towards my message that is injected hundreds of times with image/text meme format. Think of rocking a car back and forth trying to get it out of the mud. I could also write whitepapers where the ontology of the nodes are a given within a subculture. This solves a big problem, as our culture is crippled as far as node and relation meaning (ontology) and source backing/provenance . It is likely best case as far as getting across points at current complexity. The deep dive across nodes and relations from scratch is a non-starter at current cognitive bandwidth.
Now... this might have *always* been the case. Outliers like Ada Lovelace and Charles Peirce are some good examples of exceptions, with everybody else *thinking* they are growing knowledge, but are really just saying "I know that node!" "I know that relation!" in the complex web of life across many domains that we are part of. The big question, though, is at this complexity, what could/should be communicated? Within the current algo that runs most interactions, it is towards a goal of <pick your existing meme model>. Memes form an echo chamber with steel walls and no exit for most.

I was going to ask if you were referring to the Alpha 0.1.0 project, but saw you tagged jcorgan, so answered my own question. (jmcorgan/fips).
I'm curious how you see the evolution of software toolchain ecosystems outside of TCP/IP. (Rust in particular is heavily invested.) Of course, nobody would say the old stuff is going away, but if you have to bridge and build everything through legacy, I'm not seeing the advantage. (Just send those KIND-1 notes around Nostr-over-FIPS after building and maintaining gigabytes of toolchain over legacy TCP/IP? Sending JSON event objects?) I forget the article, but I was reading recently about the insane amount of corporate money going in to handle these toolchains (NPM, Rust/crates... on and on).

An #w3id #ontology I use has been offline (404) for a couple years now. I based quite a bit of my work on it. With minor modifications it can be used to load my material/data models into a graph database and do inference. He is an assistant professor in Belgium. I'm not on GitHub, so I couldn't raise an issue, but I assumed he removed it because it was no longer valid, which bummed me out. I tagged him on Bluesky, and he fixed it. This also means I'm the first one to mention it in two years.

I watched a mainstream vid on it, based on your prodding. She is driving away when asked to stop. She is an idiot (at least in this situation). https://blossom.primal.net/0a7d31e99f71264134cbafc9bafe3e96fabceac04897a4497e529e4d20bf681b.png

There are many things that are wrong in this world. How we act as individuals in an unjust world is a different matter. It is wrong to beat somebody with a $5 wrench to steal their Bitcoin, but this will happen, so be careful about sharing the fact you have some. Likewise, stop immediately when asked to stop by police. Definitely don't drive towards an agent! WTF! There are few countries where I would expect not to risk getting shot in that situation (Off the top of my head, Sweden). Again, it doesn't make it right. It doesn't mean that there is an underlying system that needs to be changed (orphan crushing machine scenario). It just means that I need to think about my situation as an individual and act accordingly. So, it is relevant from the mom's perspective (and her children).

I watched the vid. I can see different perspectives. Mostly, that was excessive force, and horrible. We need to hold ICE accountable. OTOH, if it was me, I would stop immediately.
