I think I'm ready to move forward with a course change. I need to start at the user experience. Preserve the familiar web browser experience for the end user, except augment the authentication capabilities associated with passkey in combination with a wallet application to manage private keys. Provide the components for web sites to integrate into the decentralized p2p network for a identity and data registry, so that users have SSO universally across participating web sites with no central authority. That would be an attractive proposition.
I'm going to take pause.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
I'll consider more deeply whether I should. Not to question the value of the goal. To question the feasibility of successful adoption.
I've been using an old Thinkpad X260 8GB with Linux Mint for hosting Hermes Agent. It is too small to host Android virtual machines for testing.
I need to sacrifice my ThinkPad X1 16GB for this purpose. It has an OEM license for Windows 11 Pro, but I work almost exclusively in WSL. I thought maybe Office may come in handy, but I never use it. I will take this opportunity to install Omarchy and see what all the excitement is about.
The more that DHH posts, the more I feel like I've found my long-lost twin brother.
Much behavior follows from whether one is motivated by the desire to capture money, credit, reputation, or other forms of personal equity. In companies, it manifests in 'recognition', investment/funding, and team size. I call it empire building. I use this as a term of disparagement.
Company culture and values often speak about customer focus, mission, and results. Individual and organizational behavior is seldom fully aligned, because "me" and "my org" is how we are accountable and how we assess performance. Empire building discourages innovation by avoiding creative destruction, obsoleting what you have built up, cannibalizing your business to build new and better. It discourages sharing ideas and collaborating with outsiders to achieve outcomes that benefit others beyond yourself and your organization.
AI-written specs for coding are dense in coined terminology where the agent often uses industry terms of art or invents new terms. This includes hyphenated qualifiers or adjectives, such as 'broker-mediated' or 'human-approved'. The also includes nouns in the domain model, such as 'ingress controller' or 'token issuer'.
For this reason, specs can be somewhat cryptic. Specs are only humanly comprehensible with the assistance of the agent helping to explain the meaning of its terminology.
When reviewing specs as machine outputs, we need to understand that the audience for specs is the coding agent itself. The agent is writing specs to refine requirements into architecture and design. It is planning the work and tracking its progress and backlog. Some specs are provable claims, so that related components can understand the contract between them. Specs are not optimized for human understanding. They are meant for generating code.
China is 93% positive because they aren't losers.
DHH: "don't be a loser" youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?is=62VA…
The numbers are not lying. 64% of Americans are losers. They will make America lose, if we allow their loser-think to prevail. Don't be a loser.
It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…
Everyone should bookmark this article by John Carvalho. It gives concise overview of intellectual property and finishes with how names should be handled.

I'm starting to come around to the idea that opinions expressing disagreement alone are worthless without providing a correction. It adds nothing to our knowledge by saying you're wrong, you're stupid, you're a moral degenerate, or anything equivalent. If no better idea is proferred, that person is just putting forth noise.
When grilling in a coding agent, there is often a presumption of prior knowledge. The agent will throw around acronyms and terms of art without first defining them.
《❓ Q5 — How should password changes handle the wallet encryption key?
Distinguish password rewrapping from signing-key rotation:
1. Recommended: preserve the existing wallet DEK and encrypted payload; derive a new KEK from the new password and atomically replace only the KDF parameters, salt, and wrapped DEK. No private-key regeneration, no Registry operation, and no payload rewrite.》
Imagine seeing DEK, KEK, and KDF for the first time, and being expected to provide a sensible answer without even understanding what is being asked. This is what AI coding is like now days.
Every input to the machine is a fractal-shaped rabbit hole. Every machine output is another fractal-shaped rabbit hole. A non-coder who vibe-codes will just say "just do it" with no understanding. A coder will seek to understand, but often ends up saying "I don't care about this, so just do it".

The class action against AI slowdown poses a dilemma for liberty-minded folks. Using the coercive power of the state to enforce anti-trust laws is antithetical to liberty. However, Big Tech companies colluding to enforce society-wide "AI safety" regulations viaba quasi-state entity is similarly anti-liberty.
