Yeah it’s alarming how much HN users are willing to support corruption so long as it’s their preferred candidate doing it. Really is all just tribalism to most posters in this thread so far

It’ll be a fine day when phones can use an embedded Postgres
In Canada, it just refers to the Power Corporation
It's true the liberal party is aligned with the democratic party and otherwise joined at the hip, but I wouldn't say the democrats are trying to destroy media credibility across the board, the media has already done that themselves.
Hydro One in Ontario is infinitely worse and was a government spearheaded privatization effort. "Sorry, not sorry" from kathleen wynne still echoing in the ears...
This has been known for decades already. In the historical records we'll be known as the plastic age

I doubt they’ll cut it in Toronto traffic. What’ll they do when going west by DVP and lakeshore, only a human can effectively navigate that space
This looks amazing, really appreciate your minimal JavaScript approach. I’ll definitely try it out, could see myself potentially doing pro version in future.
How does it compare with the since-discontinued embedded graph database cozodb? https://github.com/cozodb/cozo

It also used datalog, written in rust

Great to see tho, I'm always eagerly hoping for a successful embedded graph database. Most recently my hope was for kuzudb, but they got acquihired; though it's still open-sourcing' as LadybugDB.

Highly recommend taking inspiration from Kuzudb/Ladybugdb and cozodb.

Godspeed!

Yeah this theory has been part of biology for a long time in different forms, I also subscribe to it. You may like to look into Rupert Sheldrake’s morphogenetic fields which is a recent depiction of it too that is very interesting

What has Michael Levin to say about biological systems as information?
Executive Summary (from the linked pdf)

The rapid rise of AI agents presents urgent challenges in authentication, authorization, and identity management. Current agent-centric protocols (like MCP) highlight the demand for clarified best practices in authentication and authorization. Looking ahead, ambitions for highly autonomous agents raise complex long-term questions regarding scalable access control, agent-centric identities, AI workload differentiation, and delegated authority. This whitepaper is for stakeholders at the intersection of AI agents and access management. It outlines the resources already available for securing today’s agents and presents a strategic agenda to address the foundational authentication, authorization, and identity problems pivotal for tomorrow’s widespread autonomous systems.

What about something like Iroh?

Aye, please no. We don’t want to be the 28th EU state any more than we want to be the 51st EU state.
