A conceptual and technical framework for resource discovery on the WWW using decentralised, open, machine-readable indexes as the building block.

Some long lingering thoughts, prompted by the CrowdStrike fiasco.

The AI breakthroughs in the past few months, unlike other technology hypes, feels different.

And if you are, then why don't you convert to web3?

I have a small Vue 2 project (an admin UI for dictmaker) that I created with vue cli six months ago. Today, I picked it up again to finish it, and started out by doing a yarn upgrade. Of course, blindly upgrading all dependencies is never a good idea, but this a tiny WIP project with just one dependency that I added, and there is a constant stream of GitHub dependabot alerts every month forcing to upgrade some dependency or other, so what is the worst that could happen? At least that is what I thought.
