clunky website 00:04:58 builder that worked by clicking on links

people could get through the hole and click on links in 00:04:46 the browser and control the software

Netscape people had already gone through the pain of making Netscape work on Windows hey just like that was like a hole onto Windows

could deploy then without having to ship software

we could like actually do 00:04:19 this without ever having to learn pointing windows

you can use SMTP why not HTTP to update your 00:03:41 website whoa you could cut the software could run on the server and you could control it by clicking on links in the browser would that even work righ

send it updates by email right um and it would 00:03:27 change your website

we were really really 00:02:59 highly motivated to figure out how to write software without having to write software to run on Windows

Exclusive: Google cancels AI ethics board in response to outcry The controversial panel lasted just a little over a week

Timnit Gebru was a well-known scholar in the AI-ethics community long before she got fired by Google in December 2020—but that messy and dramatic incident brought a new level of attention to her work. Google apparently exiled Gebru from its AI ethics team (and subsequently fired the other leader of the team) in response to a paper about the dangers of the large language models that have become so important to the world’s biggest technology companies.

No, this presentation is not about web3. And for good reasons! There is a more open, more interoperable, simpler, more ecological, and even more... decentralized (!!) way to build decentralized web applications. Web standards, and in particular those of the latest generation (RDF, JSON-LD, N3, OpenID Connect) provide a framework for building such apps. It is on this technical basis that two new protocols that could revolutionize the web are established: Solid.

"We don't think in scrolling pages or in paragraphs," explains Christina. "Our minds dart around even when we're thinking in a focused way. Our thoughts are vectors in that concept space – they collide together and create associations. They connect dots in novel ways, and that's where breakthrough thinking comes from. It comes from our minds in a concept space, not a piece of paper."

The current generation of Web applications communicates with servers through a highly specific sequence of steps that are hard-coded into the application logic.

dangling data on duplicate and inconsistent profiles we can no longer manage.

their service depends entirely on access to that data

Applications ask rather than store,

By breaking the tight coupling between data and applications

decentralized social network

The Solid platform takes this further, introducing the concept of one data pod per person. Such a data pod is a simple data storage location on a server, equipped with highly granular access control, so anyone can decide exactly which people and apps can access what parts of their data. Applications become clients of these servers, sourcing data from multiple data pods. Solid eventually envisages a world of multiple data pods per person: one at home for personal data, one at the office for sensitive work files, one at school to track study material, etc. In this post, I assume such a high degree of decentralization. Note that the names in the above axis are envisaged uses: it is theoretically possible to use Mastodon or Solid in different ways, and other platforms exist.

Building a hypergraph-based semantic knowledge sharing environment for construction

decentralised institutions that are financed, owned and governed by their own members.

A growing number of subcultures, digital communities and guilds have turned their back on ad-supported social media and migrated their social and cultural activities to semi-private digital spaces, chat rooms and Discord servers. We believe these spaces have the potential to become decentralised institutions that are financed, owned and governed by their own members. To support this vision we propose Moving Castles, an organisational metaphor and real-time media type which combines collective agency and public participation in modular and portable multiplayer miniverses.

A substantial number of users are likely to abandon Twitter, perhaps not enough to cause Twitter’s crash and burn, but enough to significantly embolden Mastodon, an emerging, open source, decentralized social network with, according to an unsanctioned bot, some 232,815 users at the time of writing this. Mastodon, with its many human-scaled, private instances, including Social.coop, could become a rescue vessel pulling up next to the social media Titanic as it starts to hit rock bottom.

"One sociologist has coined a term called 'fratriarchy' as opposed to patriarchy... Fratriarchy is rule of the brothers. It's this idea that if you get a group of young men together - teenagers, men in their 20s - there's a competitive form of masculinity and they're performing for each other."

You may end up in deadlocks: Subjects you understand but didn’t yet articulate in a way easy to convey, or for which you didn’t find a simple explanation. Often what we gained from experience can only be retold by showing or narrating the experience with all the trial and errors. It takes time and can be confusing. Simplify for some of the learnings.

Tacit Knowledge Ahead

Scaffold to Heaven You have to scaffold learning paths. Start from jobs to be done. Which skills and concepts are necessary? Make sure there is a path to acquire them, identify what will be needed. Optimize the path to be as short as possible. It’s best to have tasks that can be done autonomously as quickly as possible and add more learning down the way. The learning curve will become an accessible stairway with successes at every landing.

“I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.” ~Douglas Adams

Creating long deep connections Innovating, nurturing creative habits Staying critical and dissecting what is presented to us, until we can decide where it stands and to what it relates. Doing more with what you know, possibly without learning (formally) more. Like with tools, it’s not always changing the tools that improve the outcome. First should come understanding and reflect on our practice. For this, tinkering around to learn from experience before moving on to the next new shiny theory or app is necessary. Being more intensive with what you know, building more connections, more reflecting Being smart and intentional in seeking the information you need and learn it Letting go of recipes, routines, habits, ill-conceived frameworks, and military-like disciplines as ways to be creative, critical, and organized.
