I respectfully disagree that Web Assembly really "exposes the underlying machine capability" in any meaningful sense. The situation we are in today, is that many assembly ISAs are no longer fit for purpose. A modern C compiler will spend a lot of work recovering data-flow dependencies (e.g. SSA form) only to then remove them when outputting e.g. x86 assembly. The CPU then has to recover much of this information again for out-of-order execution etc.

IMHO, the Web Assembly folks should focus on a simple, elegant core language that is easy to define and easy for a JIT to optimise. The machine architecture, whatever that may be now or in the future, should be secondary. Personally, I would never have called it "Web Assembly" either.
Why GPL Isn’t Working – The Freedom vs. Convenience Debate
It's a very useful service, and there are some strong arguments why it should be free, but getting people to actually adopt a standard is really hard. It takes a lot of effort, time and money. Without the possibility of revenue it's very likely no one would ever have funded it, so it would never have happened.

It'd have been nice if W3W was the product of a foundation like Mozilla, but it's not. There's no reason to begrudge the founders wanting to turn it in to a business.

Not all that useful for consumers. At this time, as least. The advantage of DNA is that it's fairly dense (human DNA in each nuclear is 3 billion base pairs * 2 bits per base ~= 6 Gbit of information in roughly 3 μm^3). It's less dense than the IBM method described by Problem Factory, but it has the advantage that copying DNA is a lot easier than reading and recreating the patterns made by a sheet of copper atoms.

When creating ustom DNA because a less a cumbersome process, it could be a cheap and space-effective way to do cold storage (both literally and figuratively).

Also, it'd be a quite sneaky way to transfer data. Spray some DNA on someone's jacket, go through all the security measures and afterwards, swab the jacket, clone and sequence and bob's your uncle.

Yeah, I have explored just a bit and seeing addresses like "rotateur.patois.postier" next to "dater.postant.ânier" (... what? ânier?) feels like these things would be very error prone, it almost looks like they gave similar sounding words to close addresses, but actually not.

The words in different languages also aren't translations, they are completely different, which adds a layer of confusion. I really don't see this going anywhere.

I'm not sure I understand their idea of localization.

The center of Vienna is "decays.jump.graver" (if those are simple words is questionable).

But when I switch to German the same block becomes "fahrende.hügeligen.ansprüche" (driving, hilly, demands). So the words I get by default are again just random strings for someone who doesn't speak German)

And even someone who speaks German may get the inflection of the words wrong and end up in "fahren.hügelig.ansprüche", "fahrend.hügelige.ansprüche" or any other permutation of the many ways the same word could be written in another context.

And worst of all, all those permutations exist and map to other locations somewhere on earth.
Not necessarily, but Computer Science is one of those fields that you can easily be self taught without many physical resources. In fact you mostly only need a computer and the internet, which most people do have.

From memory the base spacing on double stranded DNA is ~0.4nm. So it’s significantly dense. They’re taking about using 30 bases to encode a single symbol, so density is worse than that.

However the basic density isn’t really the factor of interest. What’s more interesting about DNA is that you don’t need to store it on a surface. So while with semiconductors, you can only really cover a 2d surface (and maybe stack a few dies for density). With DNA you can pack a lot more information into a 3 dimensional area.

I however am not particularly bullish in DNA storage. We don’t really have the read systems we’d need to make this viable (still costs ~1000USD to read the ~ 1Gigabyte human genome and > 1 day). Unless these guys have really developed something very novel, we don’t have the write systems either.

Both the read and write systems are also highly errored compared to digital storage (like error rates of 1 in 100). So their are many issues...

I'm desperately trying to connect to "modern" chat services via things like Pidgin to have logs - while on some level, remembering everything exactly the way it was is unnatural, links and knowledge is important to be possible to be kept.

You are correct, it's a horrible implementation of an otherwise good idea.

Personally I want a public domain list of 2^k distinct words of distinct and unambiguous enough meanings, that are then translated to many other languages and evaluated for the same criteria (in reality, such system will be required to begin with as many languages as possible). My best guess is that k=10 is possible with a lot of efforts.

Even now you're jumping through hoops to say 'non AMP users' where in reality you mean a tiny niche of users with broken network connectivity or who deliberate disable JavaScript, etc.

If that was the case you'd probably only be buying a Model 3 out of curiosity rather than as your main, every day car. Most people aren't in that position, and will be buying a Model 3 because they think it's the best car for their money. They'll be a lot less willing to accept defects.

I would say that schemes looping constructs are too limited for comfortable use, but that tail call elimination makes implementing your own constructs very easy. I have reimplemented racket's for loops for guile using named let loops [0] which was not only pretty easy, but it was also easily understood and optimised by the guile compiler. The end result is as fast as a hand rolled named let for almost all cases (I still haven't found one where it is measurably slower, but I have only tested it in the repl where the compiler can make lots of assumptions)

For that reason alone I think tail call elimination is a must, especially in today's transpiling world.

> And worst of all, all those permutations exist and map to other locations somewhere on earth.

To be honest they did give a thought about this, as apparently close sounding words are supposed to map to places that are far apart.

It makes sense, as you should at least know if you're looking for a place in Austria or Burkina-Faso, but it also means that if you heard the words wrong then you depend on their algorithm to find a slightly different-sounding address that is the one you were looking for, instead of a more intuitive system where you could just around because if it sounded the same then it should be closer.

And since the word list is proprietary, you really entirely depend on them. Their website shows three different suggestions, the one you typed and two close sounding ones.

Tough luck if you typed "duper.listons.égalisons" and the actual address was "duper.listons.égalisation", you won't get it in the suggestions.

It is a core tenet of Liberalism (in the actual sense of the word) that yes, free speech does mean that you have a right for your ideas to be engaged.

Moreover people like Mill or Popper would argue people have a duty to engage every idea, because that's how the open society works.

The reduction of free speech to the first amendment and to State censorship is a modern american barbarism that is as absurd as it is baseless in either its historical roots or its application by any free judiciary, including the American one.
