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!


Bought it but never read it - is it worth pushing through?


I did many years ago. Absolutely worth it.


I hear you. But what's integration in calculus? :)


zero-knowledge proofssss baybayyyyyyy


Nicely isomorphic to Musk's point on the affordability threshold - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOTs6xdx278&feature=youtu.be


Interesting, will watch


Love this, thanks for posting! I actually learnt a lot by following your links, from brutalist architecture to my new favourite tool nimbletext :)

Great little hack.


imo the problem with UST vs DAI was not under vs over collateralisation, but rather that Luna supporting UST had its value tied to UST adoption. On the other hand, DAI is collateralised by things like Eth, which could also in theory crash, but get their value from a much wider ecosystem than just DAI - hence one potentially avoids the circularity.
