Dialog - Personal Substrate for Cooperative Computing

Going indie to collaborate on #dialogdb full time with @cdata.earth
The paradigm is shifting from one-size-fits-all to personalized and highly adaptive tools.This requires a shared knowledge substrate that can facilitate emergent cooperation
Dialog is an attempt to build it

Anyone knows why did:plc does not support ed25519 keys for rotation. p256 has suspicion of backdoor and k256 is not supported by web crypto

🤔Maybe issue isn’t amount of slop LLMs generate, but an amount required to do those things 🫣

Thinking of coining "serviceless architecture" term to describe dialog's deliberate choice of syncing without server component which cost some efficiency, but prevents lock-in.

There is a twisted irony for companies right now.
In Satya's latest article "A frontier without an ecosystem is not stable," he warned about a future where "a few models eat everything they see."
That phrase captures the bet companies are making right now whether they realise it or not.

The industrial revolution organized companies around the production line. The computer revolution organized them around the database. What will be the organizing principle of the AI revolution?

You've tried to solve the data fragmentation by adding yet another database. It's like creating another group chat to replace the five group chats you already have. Now you have six group chats.

Lot of active dialog development takes place there, stop by if you want to chat or see some demos that aren't ready for general public
If you work in the neighbourhood of local-first sync, CRDTs, knowledge graphs, agent coordination then come hang out in our Discord. I'm always interested in how others are tackling it. discord.com/invite/hBPQ9...

Carry is a CLI tool we built on top of Dialog-DB to make the source of truth problem tractable in practice.
A structured, persistent collective memory. The schema forms at query time. Repositories sync whenever they connect.

🤔I wish it was clear why UCANs alone not suffice here. Ability to revoke is important, but it would appear that addressing that would be simpler and more complementary.

🎯 Need for shared indexes is what you run against when trying to decentralize. Not only we need shared index, but everyone just need a small slice of it.
This was original motivation of dialog-db, what if we could collectively own shared index that you can query without having to replicate it all
