body	In a way, the popularization of LLMs really does indicate a shift in technology.

body	<html> <p>This is in Croatian, but it's something I wish to save on the blockchain as I've participated in its creation. It was sometime before Y2K, probably circa 1998.<br/> </p> <h1>Billbija</h1> <p><br/>U početku bijaše Word.</p> <p>I Word bijaše u Billa.</p> <p>I Word bijaše Bill.</p> <p>I Word postade 2.0.</p> <p>I prebivaše među korisnicima.</p> <p>Evo rodoslovlja Windowsa, Boga korisničkoga</p> <p>UNIXu se rodi DOS 1.0, DOSu 1.0 DOS 2.0, DOSu 2.0 DOS 2.1. DOSu 2.1 DOS 3.0, DOS 3.1, DOS 3.2, DOS 3.3 i klonovi njegovi, koji ne bijahu u Billa. DOSu 3.3 rodi se DOS 4.0 i DOS 4.01, a njemu se rodi DOS 5, blažen u dane svoje. Ukupno od UNIXa 1.0 do DOSa 5, 15 koljena. A DOSu 5.0 rodi se DOS 6.0 i DOS 6.1, DOSu 6.0 DOS 6.22 i njegovi sinovi. Ukupno od DOSa 5.0 do DOSa 6.22, 5 koljena. A Windowsima 3.0 rodiše se Windowsi 3.1, Windowsima 3.1 Windowsi 3.11, a Windowsima 3.11 Windowsi 95.</p> <p>U to vrijeme bijaše u pustinji Windows 3.11, a narod govoraše da su oni prorok Billov. A on im reče: "Ja sam glas koji viče iz kućišta: pripravite diskove svoje za onoga koji dolazi.".</p> <p>U Redmondu življase Intel i zaručnica mu Microsoft. I jedne večeri Microsoftu se ukaza anđeo Billov i reče: "Zdravo Microsofte, programera pun, Bill s tobom. Blagoslovljen ti među programerskim kućama i plod programera tvojih Windows 95.". A Microsoft mu odgovori: "Evo službenika Billovih, neka nam bude po defaultu tvome.". U ono vrijeme naredi kralj IBM da se izvrši popis OSova kraljevstva njegova. I Microsoft ode u Chicago. I Microsoft bijaše išao od distributera do ditributera, jer Microsoftu bi vrijeme uskoro da rodi Windows 95. I ne nađoše smještaja, osim u jednom uredu. I Microsoft u uredu, među činovnicima i automatima za sokove, bezgrešno (debagirano) iskompajlira Windows 95.</p> <p>A u to vrijeme tri kralja s Istoka bijahu tuda prolazili i ugledaše na nebu reklamu za Windows 95, te se uputiše prema uredu. Imena tim trima kraljevima bijahu MacOS, UNIX i CP/M. I donesoše darove: grafičko sučelje, multitasking i jednostavnost. Kralj IBM sazna za toga OSa, te naredi da se pobrišu svi OSovi mlađi od godinu dana. Stoga Microsoft pobježe od IBMa, jer mu Bill to navjesti u snu. I brojni OSovi tada izgubiše život.</p> <p>A dođe i vrijeme beta testiranja Windowsa 95, a u to vrijeme na Windowsima 3.11 se isprobavaše programi. I dođe Windows 95 kod Windowsa 3.11, a 3.11 reče: "Ja nisam dostojan da ti budem kompatibilan, a kamoli da s tobom koegzistiram na kompjuteru.". Ali Windows 95 mu je rekao: "Tako mora biti da se ispuni što je po reklamama o kompatibilnosti navješteno.". I e-mail stiže sa <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> i reče: "Ovo je OS moj ljubljeni, u njemu mi je sva milina.".</p> <p>Bijaše tada svadba na COMDEXu, a gazda je stalno zatvarao programe prije pokretanja novih. Pristupi mu Steve Jobs i reče: "Zašto zatvaraš programe, koristi multitasking!". I vidje Windows 95 da vise nema GDI resourcesa, pa stvori novi heap za svaki program posebno. Tada Windows 95 pokrenu i 50 programa odjednom, a staro je sučelje pretvorio u novo. I korisnici primijetiše da svi 16bitni programi imaju novo sučelje, i govoraše: "On je poslan od Billa.".</p> <p>Pristupi Windowsima jedan čovjek i reče: "Moj OLE2.0 zbagiran leži, a znam da mu ti možes pomoći.". Win95 reče: "Pokaži mi kompjuter svoj.". No čovjek mu odgovori: "Ja nisam dostojan da ti uniđeš pod kućište moje, nego samo reci riječ i ozdravit će OLE moj."</p> <p>A Win95 reče: "To je prava vjera, u ovoga čovjeka! Idi kući, ftp-om ću ti poslati service pack!".</p> <p>Jednom je prolazio Win95 kroz ekran i vidje da nema mjesta za sve njegove podanike. Stoga ih okupi, a sa neba se začuje The Microsoft Sound.wav i promijeni se rezolucija bez restartanja windowsa. A u narodu govoraše: "Pa taj je moćniji i od OS/2!".</p> <p>U to vrijeme postaše skupina korisnika koji su koristili Netscape Navigator.</p> <p>Jednoga dana Win95 ljutit upade među njih i reče: "U što ste pretvorili hram oca moga?! U gnijezdo razvratno! Ja mogu za tri milisekunde srušiti program koji su Netscapeovci pisali godinama i napisati svoj browser!". I uze registry editor i pobrisa key-eve Netscapeove.</p> <p>A jednoga dana krenuše Win95 i aplikacije njegove loviti dokumente na jezero. Tada se podiže velik zahtjev za memorijom i aplikacije upitaše Win95: "Što da radimo, učitelju?". A on se ustade, izađe iz memorije i stade hodati po hard disku. Aplikacije gledaše u njega u čudu kako hoda po disku kao po memoriji. On im reče: "Ta zašto se bojite? Priđite disku!". Word97 izađe iz memorije i stade na disk, ali mu se vjera pokoleba i on se poče rušiti. A Win95 uhvati ga za handle i kaza mu: "Zašto ti slabi vjera, ti nevjerni softveru?".</p> <p>Tada Win95 odluči otići u Redmond, te reče svojim sollution providerima: "Idite u grad i nađite programera da kreira cool sučelje za Iexplorera.". I sollution provideri to učiniše. Tako Win95 dođe u Redmond, dojahavši na ISDN vezi. Narod se okupio i mahao pointerima IRCajući: "Blagoslovljen onaj koji dolazi u ime Billovo! Hosana sinu DOSovu! Hosana u visokoj memoriji!". A konkurenti im govoraše: "Zašto slavite ovaj OS?". Korisnici odgovoriše: "Kad mi ne bi IRCali, screen saveri bi to ispisivali!".</p> <p>Te večeri Win95 pozva sve aplikacije i reče im: "Ovo je cool toolbar, znak saveza među svim budućim win aplikacijama.". I pozove Office Assistanta i reče: "Ovo je Office Assistant moj, koji se za vas brine i rad vam olakšava. Njih koristite meni na spomen.". Također reče aplikacijama: "Jedan od vas će me večeras izdati.". A Word97 upita: "Zar ja, OSu moj?". Win95 reče: "Pa, i ti ponekad, ali ne večeras.". IExplore3.0 na to reče: "Nikad te neću ostaviti!". A Win95 odgovori: "Još ove večeri, prije nego Scheduler pokrene defrag, tri ćeš me puta zanijekati.". Prvi koji večeras bude licencirao tuđu tehnologiju bit će taj.". A IExplore 1.0 ode kod NCSAa i licencira Mosaic.</p> <p>Tada Win95 pozove sollution providere i reče im: "Idite i širite legalni softver svijetom. Kojima otpustite grijehe, otpušteno im je. Kojima naplatite kaznu, naplaćeno im je.". Kasnije odu na CeBit. Tamo se aplikacije minimiziraju, a Win95 im kaza: "Zar niste mogli ni sat vremena ostati u foregroundu?". A ovako Win95 govoraše Billu te večeri preko ICQ-a: "Nek me mimoiđe ovaj gorki task, ali ako je tako treba biti, Bille, neka se vrši volja tvoja.".</p> <p>I dođe IExplore 1.0 sa Netscapeom, Sunom, i drugima te pozove svoj About Box. Tada ovi znadoše da je to OS po kojeg su došli. Tada aplikacije zauzeše memoriju ali im Win95 reče: "Zar mislite da ja ne bih mogao sad reći svom ocu da pokrene 1000 ActiveX kontrola i otjera njih?". I odvedoše Win95. A IExplore3.0 slijedio ga je na putu, te se tri puta izda: za MacOS, UNIX i Win3.11. Tada Scheduler pokrenu defrag i IExplore, vidjevši to, ugasi sve svoje toolbare od žalosti.</p> <p>Win95 dovedoše kod antitrustovskog suda. Tamo ga sud upita: "Jesi li ti kralj OSova?". Win 95 odgovori: "Ti kaza.". Tada sud reče: "Perem ruke od ovoga OSa, moje krivice na njegovom shutdownu nema.". Tada ga izvede pred korisnike i reče: "Evo OSa!", a korisnici su telefonirali svakakve uvrede customer support liniji. Win95 osudiše na smrt brisanjem windows direktorija. Tako odvedoše kompjuter sa Win95 u 'Golgota d.o.o.' servis da obrišu direktorij.</p> <p>Putem do servisa on posrnu noseći program kojim će ga obrisati. U pomoć mu priskoči Excel, ponijevši teret za njega.</p> <p>U "Golgoti d.o.o." pored njega stajaše još dva kompjutera, lijevo sa OS/2 a desno sa MacOSom. Na pozadinu desktopa Win95 napisaše WINRI. Neki služenici kockaše se za njegov OLE.</p> <p>Tada obrisaše direktorij i skinuše ga sa diska.</p> <p>Nakon tri dana Bill preko Interneta remote reinstalira Win95, te on izađe na svjetlo monitora.</p> <p>Kasnije se Win95 ukaza aplikacijama, ali nevjerni CorelDraw reče: "Ne vjerujem dok ne vidim.". Tada položi ogromnu sliku na clipboard i uvidje da Win95 uistinu uskrsnu.</p> <p> <br/> </p> </html>

I jedne večeri Microsoftu se ukaza anđeo Billov i reče: &quot;Zdravo Microsofte, programera pun, Bill s tobom. Blagoslovljen ti među programerskim kućama i plod programera tvojih Windows 95.&quot;. A Microsoft mu odgovori: &quot;Evo službenika Billovih, neka nam bude po defaultu tvome.&quot;. U ono vrijeme naredi kralj IBM da se izvrši popis OSova kraljevstva njegova. I Microsoft ode u Chicago. I Microsoft bijaše išao od distributera do ditributera, jer Microsoftu bi vrijeme uskoro da rodi Windows 95. I ne nađoše smještaja, osim u jednom uredu. I Microsoft u uredu, među činovnicima i automatima za sokove, bezgrešno (debagirano) iskompajlira Windows 95.</p>\n<p>A u to vrijeme tri kralja s Istoka bijahu tuda prolazili i ugledaše na nebu reklamu za Windows 95, te se uputiše prema uredu. Imena tim trima kraljevima bijahu MacOS, UNIX i CP/M. I donesoše darove: grafičko sučelje, multitasking i jednostavnost. Kralj IBM sazna za toga OSa, te naredi da se pobrišu svi OSovi mlađi od godinu dana. Stoga Microsoft pobježe od IBMa, jer mu Bill to navjesti u snu. I brojni OSovi tada izgubiše život.</p>\n<p>A dođe i vrijeme beta testiranja Windowsa 95, a u to vrijeme na Windowsima 3.11 se isprobavaše programi. I dođe Windows 95 kod Windowsa 3.11, a 3.11 reče: &quot;Ja nisam dostojan da ti budem kompatibilan, a kamoli da s tobom koegzistiram na kompjuteru.&quot;. Ali Windows 95 mu je rekao: &quot;Tako mora biti da se ispuni što je po reklamama o kompatibilnosti navješteno.&quot;. I e-mail stiže sa <a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a> i reče: &quot;Ovo je OS moj ljubljeni, u njemu mi je sva milina.&quot;.</p>\n<p>Bijaše tada svadba na COMDEXu, a gazda je stalno zatvarao programe prije pokretanja novih. Pristupi mu Steve Jobs i reče: &quot;Zašto zatvaraš programe, koristi multitasking!&quot;. I vidje Windows 95 da vise nema GDI resourcesa, pa stvori novi heap za svaki program posebno. Tada Windows 95 pokrenu i 50 programa odjednom, a staro je sučelje pretvorio u novo. I korisnici primijetiše da svi 16bitni programi imaju novo sučelje, i govoraše: &quot;On je poslan od Billa.&quot;.</p>\n<p>Pristupi Windowsima jedan čovjek i reče: &quot;Moj OLE2.0 zbagiran leži, a znam da mu ti možes pomoći.&quot;. Win95 reče: &quot;Pokaži mi kompjuter svoj.&quot;. No čovjek mu odgovori: &quot;Ja nisam dostojan da ti uniđeš pod kućište moje, nego samo reci riječ i ozdravit će OLE moj.&quot;</p>\n<p>A Win95 reče: &quot;To je prava vjera, u ovoga čovjeka! Idi kući, ftp-om ću ti poslati service pack!&quot;.</p>\n<p>Jednom je prolazio Win95 kroz ekran i vidje da nema mjesta za sve njegove podanike. Stoga ih okupi, a sa neba se začuje The Microsoft Sound.wav i promijeni se rezolucija bez restartanja windowsa. A u narodu govoraše: &quot;Pa taj je moćniji i od OS/2!&quot;.</p>\n<p>U to vrijeme postaše skupina korisnika koji su koristili Netscape Navigator.</p>\n<p>Jednoga dana Win95 ljutit upade među njih i reče: &quot;U što ste pretvorili hram oca moga?! U gnijezdo razvratno! Ja mogu za tri milisekunde srušiti program koji su Netscapeovci pisali godinama i napisati svoj browser!&quot;. I uze registry editor i pobrisa key-eve Netscapeove.</p>\n<p>A jednoga dana krenuše Win95 i aplikacije njegove loviti dokumente na jezero. Tada se podiže velik zahtjev za memorijom i aplikacije upitaše Win95: &quot;Što da radimo, učitelju?&quot;. A on se ustade, izađe iz memorije i stade hodati po hard disku. Aplikacije gledaše u njega u čudu kako hoda po disku kao po memoriji. On im reče: &quot;Ta zašto se bojite? Priđite disku!&quot;. Word97 izađe iz memorije i stade na disk, ali mu se vjera pokoleba i on se poče rušiti. A Win95 uhvati ga za handle i kaza mu: &quot;Zašto ti slabi vjera, ti nevjerni softveru?&quot;.</p>\n<p>Tada Win95 odluči otići u Redmond, te reče svojim sollution providerima: &quot;Idite u grad i nađite programera da kreira cool sučelje za Iexplorera.&quot;. I sollution provideri to učiniše. Tako Win95 dođe u Redmond, dojahavši na ISDN vezi. Narod se okupio i mahao pointerima IRCajući: &quot;Blagoslovljen onaj koji dolazi u ime Billovo! Hosana sinu DOSovu! Hosana u visokoj memoriji!&quot;. A konkurenti im govoraše: &quot;Zašto slavite ovaj OS?&quot;. Korisnici odgovoriše: &quot;Kad mi ne bi IRCali, screen saveri bi to ispisivali!&quot;.</p>\n<p>Te večeri Win95 pozva sve aplikacije i reče im: &quot;Ovo je cool toolbar, znak saveza među svim budućim win aplikacijama.&quot;. I pozove Office Assistanta i reče: &quot;Ovo je Office Assistant moj, koji se za vas brine i rad vam olakšava. Njih koristite meni na spomen.&quot;. Također reče aplikacijama: &quot;Jedan od vas će me večeras izdati.&quot;. A Word97 upita: &quot;Zar ja, OSu moj?&quot;. Win95 reče: &quot;Pa, i ti ponekad, ali ne večeras.&quot;. IExplore3.0 na to reče: &quot;Nikad te neću ostaviti!&quot;. A Win95 odgovori: &quot;Još ove večeri, prije nego Scheduler pokrene defrag, tri ćeš me puta zanijekati.&quot;. Prvi koji večeras bude licencirao tuđu tehnologiju bit će taj.&quot;. A IExplore 1.0 ode kod NCSAa i licencira Mosaic.</p>\n<p>Tada Win95 pozove sollution providere i reče im: &quot;Idite i širite legalni softver svijetom. Kojima otpustite grijehe, otpušteno im je. Kojima naplatite kaznu, naplaćeno im je.&quot;. Kasnije odu na CeBit. Tamo se aplikacije minimiziraju, a Win95 im kaza: &quot;Zar niste mogli ni sat vremena ostati u foregroundu?&quot;. A ovako Win95 govoraše Billu te večeri preko ICQ-a: &quot;Nek me mimoiđe ovaj gorki task, ali ako je tako treba biti, Bille, neka se vrši volja tvoja.&quot;.</p>\n<p>I dođe IExplore 1.0 sa Netscapeom, Sunom, i drugima te pozove svoj About Box. Tada ovi znadoše da je to OS po kojeg su došli. Tada aplikacije zauzeše memoriju ali im Win95 reče: &quot;Zar mislite da ja ne bih mogao sad reći svom ocu da pokrene 1000 ActiveX kontrola i otjera njih?&quot;. I odvedoše Win95. A IExplore3.0 slijedio ga je na putu, te se tri puta izda: za MacOS, UNIX i Win3.11. Tada Scheduler pokrenu defrag i IExplore, vidjevši to, ugasi sve svoje toolbare od žalosti.</p>\n<p>Win95 dovedoše kod antitrustovskog suda. Tamo ga sud upita: &quot;Jesi li ti kralj OSova?&quot;. Win 95 odgovori: &quot;Ti kaza.&quot;. Tada sud reče: &quot;Perem ruke od ovoga OSa, moje krivice na njegovom shutdownu nema.&quot;. Tada ga izvede pred korisnike i reče: &quot;Evo OSa!&quot;, a korisnici su telefonirali svakakve uvrede customer support liniji. Win95 osudiše na smrt brisanjem windows direktorija. Tako odvedoše kompjuter sa Win95 u &#x27;Golgota d.o.o.&#x27; servis da obrišu direktorij.</p>\n<p>Putem do servisa on posrnu noseći program kojim će ga obrisati. U pomoć mu priskoči Excel, ponijevši teret za njega.</p>\n<p>U &quot;Golgoti d.o.o.&quot; pored njega stajaše još dva kompjutera, lijevo sa OS/2 a desno sa MacOSom. Na pozadinu desktopa Win95 napisaše WINRI. Neki služenici kockaše se za njegov OLE.</p>\n<p>Tada obrisaše direktorij i skinuše ga sa diska.</p>\n<p>Nakon tri dana Bill preko Interneta remote reinstalira Win95, te on izađe na svjetlo monitora.</p>\n<p>Kasnije se Win95 ukaza aplikacijama, ali nevjerni CorelDraw reče: &quot;Ne vjerujem dok ne vidim.&quot;. Tada položi ogromnu sliku na clipboard i uvidje da Win95 uistinu uskrsnu.</p>\n<p>\r<br/>\r</p>\n</html>",

title	Problems we don't want to solve - decentralisation and the free lunch
body	<html> <p> </p> <p>As is appropriate for this time of year, yesterday my sister started enthusiastically describing a new app by the municipal graveyard maintenance company, which allows users to search for a particular deceased person and pinpoint their grave on a map. On top of that, the app shows information about the date of death and interment, it has a time stamped photo of the grave, AND it can be used to order flowers for the said grave, which uses the photo mechanism to confirm to the user that their transaction was indeed completed successfully. I didn't want to bore her with explaining there's a ton of such apps out there. Some even allow attachments such as photos and videos to be added to the grave site, which is kind of neat. I imagine one could walk through such a multimedially enriched graveyard, scan QR codes or somesuch on each grave, and see fond-ish memories of the ex-people resting there. This is a good idea. I would use it. I've even occasionally thought of starting such a business. At least, there's no shortage of potential customers incoming every single day. It's basically infinitely scalable. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/LoUg0Ok.jpg"/>What stopped me each time is that I have grave concerns (yup) about the longevity of stored data, especially if the company goes under. This is not a front-end problem. We can make this data presentable, searchable, usable in many ways. It's purely a problem of where and how to store this data. </p> <p> </p> <p>I believe this is one of the poster-child use cases for decentralised computing. Among all the flopping around and general nonsense accompanying web3, mired in the get-rich-quick fintech schemes, there are actual uses for blockchain technologies which make sense. It looks like the best way to conserve data nowadays is to keep copying it and sharing it over the Internet. </p> <p> </p> <p>But - why? </p> <p> </p> <p>This is not a problem of technology. We have <a href="https://ipfs.tech/">IPFS</a>. We have torrents. We have various web3 blockchains just waiting to be used by something (anything!) mainstream. </p> <p> </p> <p>It's also a poster-child case for a problem we, as an entity tentatively called a "civilisation" just don't want to bother solving. It's a minor fascination of mine: there are obviously so many things which surround us which could be made better, but aren't. Usually, it's because people don't agree on thežree aspects of the solution: </p> <p> </p> <ul><li>Priorities - should it be solved now? </li></ul> <ul><li>Methods - how should we solve it? </li></ul> <ul><li>Responsibility - who should solve it? </li></ul> <p>For example, the issue of decentralised data storage. It's pretty obvious that the concept has huge potential benefits, such as preserving data which shouldn't dissapear when companies go under, or which isn't monetisable as such, but would be useful to keep around. </p> <p> </p> <p>Relating this to web3, for me entire point of web3 is to run apps that are dissasociated from the messy dangers of the real world. It is a sort of an overlay network on top of Internet, not really reliant on IP addresses, routing tables and DNS. Web3 has the same issues: how to translate the needs for computing power and data storage to real-world machines, in a way which is both safe and provides incentives. </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://filecoin.io/">Filecoin</a> seems to be a working combination of the two: a distributed storage system intertwined with web3 incentives which provide "mining" rewards upon proving certain amount of data (i.e. "space") has been stored by the node for a certain time (hence "proof of space-time"). There is no free lunch, at tthe bottom line, a real person needs to pay, no matter how, for the hardware and energy, and they need compensation. </p> <p> </p> <p>Getting back to the main point: why isn't <a href="https://filecoin.io/">Filecoin</a> more popular? Or <a href="https://ipfs.tech/">IPFS</a>, for that matter? It's certainly possible and within reach of today's infrastructure to ship one of those on each new laptop sold, where the user just has to enter their credentials maintained by a similarly decentralised identity provider. I can't imagine nowadays NOT connecting my mobile phone and Chrome to Google, because doing that saves me so much effort later. It's certainly possible to have a decentralised ID provider which is just as popular, and services which just naturaly cooperate with it. </p> <p> </p> <p>Why isn't that particular problem being solved? </p> <p> </p> <ul><li><strong>Priorities</strong>: there are arguably easier ways for hardware manufacturers to earn money. Enabling end-users to help the community and possibly earn some fees just isn't on anyone's priority list. </li></ul> <ul><li><strong>Methods</strong>: even if they agree there's a need and it should be solved now, they will certainly rather try to get incompatible walled garden systems in place, instead of completely decentralised solutions, because they hope to get some money out of it. </li></ul> <ul><li><strong>Responsibility</strong>: today's decentralised systems usually carry a certain dose of anonimity of operation. IPFS for example doesn't even has the concept of authorship / ownership of files. The files just exist on the system, and the system doesn't care where they came from or what they contain.

It&#x27;s a minor fascination of mine: there are obviously so many things which surround us which could be made better, but aren&#x27;t. Usually, it&#x27;s because people don&#x27;t agree on thežree aspects of the solution:</p>\n<ul><li>Priorities - should it be solved now?</li><li>Methods - how should we solve it?</li><li>Responsibility - who should solve it?</li></ul>\n<p>For example, the issue of decentralised data storage. It&#x27;s pretty obvious that the concept has huge potential benefits, such as preserving data which shouldn&#x27;t dissapear when companies go under, or which isn&#x27;t monetisable as such, but would be useful to keep around.</p>\n<p>Relating this to web3, for me entire point of web3 is to run apps that are dissasociated from the messy dangers of the real world. It is a sort of an overlay network on top of Internet, not really reliant on IP addresses, routing tables and DNS. Web3 has the same issues: how to translate the needs for computing power and data storage to real-world machines, in a way which is both safe and provides incentives.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://filecoin.io/\">Filecoin</a> seems to be a working combination of the two: a distributed storage system intertwined with web3 incentives which provide &quot;mining&quot; rewards upon proving certain amount of data (i.e. &quot;space&quot;) has been stored by the node for a certain time (hence &quot;proof of space-time&quot;). There is no free lunch, at tthe bottom line, a real person needs to pay, no matter how, for the hardware and energy, and they need compensation.</p>\n<p>Getting back to the main point: why isn&#x27;t Filecoin more popular? Or IPFS, for that matter? It&#x27;s certainly possible and within reach of today&#x27;s infrastructure to ship one of those on each new laptop sold, where the user just has to enter their credentials maintained by a similarly decentralised identity provider. I can&#x27;t imagine nowadays NOT connecting my mobile phone and Chrome to Google, because doing that saves me so much effort later. It&#x27;s certainly possible to have a decentralised ID provider which is just as popular, and services which just naturaly cooperate with it.</p>\n<p>Why isn&#x27;t that particular problem being solved?</p>\n<ul><li><strong>Priorities</strong>: there are arguably easier ways for hardware manufacturers to earn money. Enabling end-users to help the community and possibly earn some fees just isn&#x27;t on anyone&#x27;s priority list.</li><li><strong>Methods</strong>: even if they agree there&#x27;s a need and it should be solved now, they will certainly rather try to get incompatible walled garden systems in place, instead of completely decentralised solutions, because they hope to get some money out of it.</li><li><strong>Responsibility</strong>: today&#x27;s decentralised systems usually carry a certain dose of anonimity of operation. IPFS for example doesn&#x27;t even has the concept of authorship / ownership of files. The files just exist on the system, and the system doesn&#x27;t care where they came from or what they contain. Of course, this could be misused to store various types of illegal material, and no manufacturer ever will want to take on even the vague possibility that they might be the cause of illegal data being stored on their clients&#x27; systems.</li></ul>\n<p>I think the last point is the most significant at this time.</p>\n<p>As the civilisation at large has apparently emphasized the desire for increasing safety, there&#x27;s probably no way such a system will be widely deployed without a strong way of authenticating data provenance / ownership.</p>\n<p>There&#x27;s only one problem: people who know how to work on decentralised systems don&#x27;t really want to do it that way, and people who want this type of system don&#x27;t know how to make it. It won&#x27;t be solved by IBMs of this world.</p>\n<p>Thus, this is a problem that, at this time, our civilisation has marked as &quot;will not fix.&quot;</p>\n</html>",

title	Blockchain's present opportunity: data interchange standardisation
body	<html> <p>No matter what the future of private blockchains might be, their best current use case is in the standardization of communication between various, likely disparate organisations. The whole "blockchain industry"'s best case for gaining traction is to pitch private blockchains as a part of a tech refresh cycle, and at the same time an opportunity to establish automated communication channels with their partners.</p> <p>Blockchains do not make sense in isolation. it is a technology created to exchange information between multiple parties in a secure, authenticated and immutable way. A single company will have much better luck and significantly lower costs using a regular database for its internal needs than using a blockchain. Two or more companies which need to communicate with database-like data, could implement this communication in many ways, including building REST-like APIs manually, or they can make use of this combination of database-like functionality with strong data exchange emphasis and superlative data integrity guarantees we call a "blockchain."</p> <p>But there's a catch - in order to communicate in any way, including by using blockchains, the organisations need to agree on the data formats and representations used for this communication. In most cases (<a href="https://github.com/ivoras/daisy">Daisy</a> being an exception), the blockchain software does not care what kind of data is being stored: XML, JSON and all sorts of binary blobs are perfectly acceptable all over the spectrum from Ethereum to Hyperledger, and it's up to the implementors to decide on, and implement the rules of, exactly how data is to be stored.</p> <p>The modern, interconnected world, encourages and rewards tight communication in the market, even between nominal competitors. However, this communication has so far been implemented on as-needed basis, sometimes ad-hoc for specific projects, and it's not at all uncommon to find two large companies exchanging data in several different ways simultaneously, all built on different technologies-of-the-day at different times.</p> <p>Blockchains can serve as a sort of an excuse for starting a new tech refresh cycle where all (or vast majority) of those communication channels built over several decades can be replaced by a single technology, with the added bonus of making the communication <em>and</em> stored data richer and more flexible (by using smart contracts), as well as reducing costs.</p> <p>Of course, there's an implicit trap here: that by trying to replace N current technologies with a new, better one, we end up simply by having N+1 technologies in everyday use because the process failed or simply lasts for an eternity. There's also the usual problem of there being multiple competing products doing very similar things, which opens up the risk of several companies trying to connect with a blockchain - but alas each uses a different product.</p> <p>In a nutshell, all of these conditions need to be true for a blockchain-ification of communication between organisations to be successful:</p> <ul> <li>They all agree on exactly which product will be used (down to version numbers). E.g. if one uses Hyperledger and another Ethereum and another Waves, it's completely irrelevant that all of these are blockchain products, they still can't communicate with each other without complex and costly bridges.</li> <li>They all agree on the exact data formats and interpretations (e.g. JSON schema).</li> <li>They all agree on the processes which will be recorded (or whose artifacts will be recorded) in the blockchain (which is true for every inter-organisational communication project).</li> </ul> <p>Multiple blockchain products are arriving to the phase where they are generally usable for the purpose of inter-organisational data exchange, so the next steps are to actually agree on the details.</p> </html>

body	<html> <p>I was talking with a colleague today about practical applications of blockchains outside cryptocurrencies, and he defended the opinion that blockchain is nowadays used more than ever, but the vast majority of these uses are for private, intra- or inter- company applications.</p> <p>Which is all fine and good, but... why bother?</p> <p>Assuming that what businesses really want is "trust as a service" (how's that for a nebulous but catchy idea?), why introduce all the complexity of current blockchain solutions, without making use of the trustless, globally distributed parts of the technology at the same time?</p> <p>So, here's how to implement all the functionalities of a private PoA blockchain with completely traditional, proven technologies - and without even mentioning specific products and / or vendors.</p> <h1>#1: Blocks, authority & proof of authority</h1> <p>Authority in the context of "proof of authority" in blockchains refers to two things: assigning authorship information to blocks, and having the authority (permission) to create blocks.</p> <p>Both can be implemented by having an ordinary Certificate Authority (CA) or a similar way to issue keypairs - even PGP can work here - and assign keypairs to nodes. Nodes which group transactions (records) into blocks can sign the blocks with their keys in ways which are industry standards for at least the last 20 years. Serialisation of transactions into blocks can be done by using any existing technology from XML, to JSON, to BSON, to Protocol Buffers or anything else.</p> <p>Original, signed block data can be stored as binary blobs in a database or in the file system, and unpacked block data can be stored in a SQL database for easy access (or just go the easy way and <a href="https://steemit.com/blockchain/@ivoras/about-daisy-the-blockchain-where-blocks-are-sql-databases">use SQLite for both</a>).</p> <p>tl;dr:</p> <ol> <li>Set up a CA</li> <li>Collect data into blocks, serialise them to binary blobs, digitally sign them</li> <li>Store signed blocks in the DB as blobs, or in the file system</li> <li>Optionally insert data from blobs into a normal SQL database for easy access and querying, or ensure there's a stable way of serialising data into blocks, for verification purposes</li> </ol> <p>In fact, several highly exposed blockchain projects do more or less exactly that: HyperLedger and Stellar.</p> <h1>#2: Transactions, smart contracts and consensus</h1> <p>An important feature of most blockchains is that there are business rules enforced for transactions (e.g. the sending account needs to have enough coins to send), which in modern blockchains is partly done with hard-coded rules (such as that one about having enough coins) and "soft" rules which are changeable / dynamic, implemented as smart contract code (there's also the case for a <a href="https://steemit.com/blockchain/@ivoras/on-customised-distributed-consensus-the-firmware-of-consensus">third, middle layer</a>).</p> <p>Distributed consensus simply means all nodes verify blockchain data in exactly the same way - those nodes which arrive to the same conclusion are considered "correct" and "friendly." Luckily, rules for verification are also just data which can be transferred in transactions.</p> <p>Transaction data can be either structured or unstructured - it doesn't really matter as long as it can be serialised into a binary blob which can be a part of a block's blob, in a way which is stable (always exactly the same). This means that, if there's an ordinary SQL table, and we have a way to serialise a row in a stable way, this is enough for this table's data to be a part of blockchain blocks.</p> <p>The concept of smart contracts becomes a bit tricky to implement with just the database. While we could, in theory, create triggers and stored procedures from code which arrives in transactions, this is a nightmare to maintain, especially since stored procedures in modern databases can do literally anything, including executing operating system tools. Embedding a scripting language (like Lua, Python, or JavaScript) into an app is reasonably easy nowadays, but carries almost the same security risks.</p> <p>tl;dr:</p> <ul> <li>Either ensure your database data can be serialised into bytes in a stable way, or store raw transactions blobs with the unpacked ones</li> <li>Ensure that any business rules (e.g. transaction validity rules, etc.) are distributed within those transactions so every node can read and apply them</li> </ul> <h2>#2.1: We (usually) don't need blocks for PoA</h2> <p>Unless there's a compelling reason for grouping transactions into blocks, for example if the block creation process involves a special kind of verification of its contents, or we can't easily establish the order of transactions because there are too many of them, we can do without blocks, and chain transactions together.</p> <p>Even more, if we can rely on digital signatures to ensure data immutability, and we can ensure sequentiality of data in some other way (a counter?), we don't need to chain any data together at all.</p> <p>In fact, if there's a stable representation of data records which can be digitally signed, we can almost always do away with any blockchain-like structure and simply store a digital signature of the record, either in the same SQL table (or a NoSQL document) or another.</p> <h1>#3: Distributing the data</h1> <p>For a reasonably small number of nodes, we don't need any special software in addition to existing database replication capabilities. The exact number where this becomes tedious depends on the choice of the database.</p> <p>Database replication for modern databases usually includes mechanisms for SSL client validation and / or logins which limit which nodes can distribute data to which. This basically implements the same mechanism as the PoA blockchains use.</p> <p>For more flexibility or to implement missing features, a reasonably thin replication layer could be implemented on top of databases which would perform data replication on the application layer. Since blockchain data is append-only, this layer doesn't have to deal with any data update conflicts. If there's need for it, this API can participate in the consensus part of the blockchain workflow, i.e. it can validate blocks and / or transactions as they are passed from one node to the other.</p> <p>tl;dr:</p> <ul> <li>Either use existing database replication tools, or build a thin layer which distributes the data "manually" - since blockchain data is append-only, this is easy.</li> <li>If going fancy, use an existing library which implements an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_fault#Software">Byzantine fault avoidance </a>algorithm, or a similar algorithm - there are many of those.</li> </ul> <h1>#4: Building an API</h1> <p>This is the easiest step of them all - REST APIs for web applications are being built by the thousands daily.

title	PoW algorithm from hell
body	Just a thought, and excuse me if it has already been done: memory sizes on ASICs are growing (as well as on FPGAs Nd GPUs) and logic transistors are extremely cheap. The next hard thing seems to be bandwidth. Has any project investigated mining which would operate by performing an algorithm over the entire binary content of the last N blocks, where N is adjusted for difficulty, and where the input blocks are arranged or processed for every mining iteration so partial results of the previous iteration cannot be reused. An example: Let's say the mining of the next block requires running an algorithm over the last N=10000 blocks (that's over all those gigabytes of data arranged in a flat buffer) after the blocks are prepared. Let's say that for preparation, the blocks are first shuffled (their arrangement is not sequential) in a certain way, and an expensive uncommon encryption algorithm like Blowfish is used to encrypt the whole buffer in CBC mode. Let's say that the goal of the mining process is to find a PoW hash, with a suitable algorithm (maybe even SHA256 is good enough?) for the resulting buffer, and that the nonce which is being mined is the seed to the PRNG from which the blocks are shuffled. Just as a thought experiment. Seems like something like that would kill the bandwidth.

title	Putting Wikipedia on the blockchain
body	<html> <p>There's this pet project I have, the <a href="https://github.com/ivoras/daisy">Daisy blockchain</a>, which uses SQLite databases as blocks. Literally, each block is a completely normal SQLite database and can be accessed (read-only) as such. It progresses from time to time, when I get a <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/round_tuit">round tuit</a> to work on it, mostly on weekends. One of the things I envisioned Daisy would be good for is periodic distribution of authored (and authoritative) data, since it's primarily a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-authority">PoA blockchain</a>.</p> <p><img src="https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://i.imgur.com/o5mBAs0.png" width="640" height="248"/></p> <p>This is how it plays out: currently, to distribute something which is digitally signed today, the receivers of this data need to be familiar with PGP, or even clunkier proprietary systems. If this data is in the form of a database, it's even worse. So a blockchain which is actually made from scratch to work as a database, which would work "plug&play" without special configuration, which would guarantee that data is indeed authored by the party it's supposed to be authored, and where the data is stored in a fairly standardised and easy to access format, would be beneficial to distribute practically any widely-read data.</p> <p>Wikipedia's data is definitely in this category because  Wikipedia's articles have a fair bit of a vetting and review process. The end-result (though not perfect and certainly not immune to trolling, fake news and other entropic decay) is much better than a random collection of articles pulled from anonymous wikis and forums. As such, there is worth in having them authenticated as coming directly from Wikipedia.</p> <h1>How it's done</h1> <p>Over the last few weekends I've been working on pulling Wikipedia articles into a blockchain powered by Daisy (as it's configurable and can easily be used to create and maintain custom blockchains). After searching around, it became clear that the only practical way of getting actual article texts was from XML dumps, so that the way I went. I made a <a href="https://github.com/ivoras/w2b">utility project W2B</a> which imports such dumps into a SQLite database and can update an existing database from a newer dump, while at the same time creating a "diff" database containing only new and updated articles. By repeating this step for each new XML dump published by Wikimedia, we get a series of "diff databases" which can be imported into Daisy as blockchain blocks.</p> <p>Since these blocks are normal SQLite databases, they can be easily queried. While this does mean that multiple blocks need to be queried to find a particular article, I think there's also an upside: if blocks are queried in the order of most recent to the oldest, there's a fair chance that the article will be found in the last few most recent blocks, as popular articles tend to be updated often.</p> <p>I've chosen the "<a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">Simple English</a>" Wikipedia to start with, as it's much smaller than the original English one, containing less then 270,000 records at this time. The first block, containing a whole data import, is around 575 MB in size. The few subsequent blocks I made weigh in at around 40 MB each. Note that the bzipped XML dump for the Simple English Wikipedia is around 150 MB, so there's quite a bit of expansion, as expected.</p> <h1>Participating in the Wikipedia blockchain</h1> <p>Here's a cookbook:</p> <ul> <li>Download and build <a href="https://github.com/ivoras/daisy">Daisy</a> (it's written in Go)</li> <li>Download this <a href="http://cosmos.ivoras.net/~ivoras/daisy/simplewikibc.tgz">archive with the blockchain seed directory</a> and unpack it somewhere</li> <li>Start Daisy as <strong>./daisy --dir /path/to/simplewikibc</strong></li> </ul> <p>That's it - your instance of Daisy will start receiving existing and new blocks as they appear in the network. </p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/JWKnWHl.png" width="1337" height="512"/></p> <p>You can query the blockchain either manually by inspecting individual sqlite files which are stored in the above directory, or by using the daisy tool as:</p> <pre><code> ./daisy --faster query "select text from page where title='Tetris'"</code></pre> <p>The --faster argument tells Daisy to skip blockchain integrity verification at start.</p> <p>The output of this operation will be a set of newline-separated JSON objects, each containing a single found result. In this case, there will be at least two rows, as there have been two revisions of this article.</p> <h1>What's next?</h1> <p>There's a lot of stuff I'd like to do with this, like:</p> <ul> <li>Build a real web front-end for these Wikipedia blockchains, which would make them generally usable out-of-the-box by less technically-minded people</li> <li>Make Daisy more robust and feature-full, especially with regards to networking -- as well as do a fair amount of refactoring (it was kind of my first project in Go ever...)</li> <li>Make the Wikipedia import process faster and more automated</li> <li>Solve world hunger?</li> </ul> <p>I'm a firm believer that, if something's worth, it's also worth money so I've been toying around with the idea that, if there's enough interest for something like this, I could ask for crowd-funding to pay my salary for 6 months or so, to make it a polished, easy to use solution which would be as much plug&play as possible - just download this package (or an installer), click on a few things - and boom - you're participating in distributing Wikipedia data world-wide, making the whole idea more resilient.</p> <p>What do you think?
