Good question. Mycellm is the protocol layer: identity, routing, credits, reputation. Similar to how BitTorrent verifies pieces match their hash but doesn't judge whether the content is any good (that's left to trackers, communities, external tools).

Mycellm can verify that inference happened: signed receipts, reputation tracking (success rate, speed, contribution history), admission control that cuts off freeloaders. Each network sets its own policies on top; a private group might trust everything, a public network might add spot-checks or consensus routing.

Directions I'm exploring for public verification: fast-of-N routing, spot-checking with known outputs, consensus at temperature=0 where inference is deterministic. But the verification logic should be pluggable — different networks, different standards. That's a design area where I'd welcome input.

Curious about Runfra — when you say 'Uber for GPU', is that an orchestration/marketplace layer where independent GPU owners sell compute time? And what does 'batch-first creative workflows' look like — image gen pipelines, video, or broader?

This is exactly what I've been building — mycellm.ai. Seed GPU when idle, earn credits, spend on inference. BitTorrent economics for LLM compute. It's live now (my homelab serves the public chat). Would love to have you involved — github.com/mycellm/mycellm

When using Promise.all(), it won't fail entirely if individual promises have their own .catch() handlers.

In my xp, React Native was far more fragile a few years ago, but it has improved immensely since then. I quite enjoy working with it these days.

When in Rome ...

I've found React Native, especially in recent times, to provide a very good mobile dev environment.

I wrote an app and had it running in both iOS and Android in no time (with minimal iOS dev and zero Android xp prior to that).

My app included the Jitsi video extension (with very customized Jitsi controls and self-hosted backend), so not just a simple CRUD app.

(To be fair, my background is mostly Node and React, but those skills made it a breeze.)

> Amazon says it has acted properly in response to FTC demands to ensure the preservation of relevant evidence. The company says it gave executives “explicit instructions on how to disable Signal’s DM [disappearing messages] feature.” A copy of those instructions has been provided to the FTC, according to Amazon’s filing.

Amazon's 'explicit instructions' on keeping messages visible: either a move for clarity or a masterclass in corporate subtlety.

Washington state makes it so easy. My ballot is mailed to me weeks before the election date. I have plenty of time to research and fill it out. I then drop it off at one of the many official dropboxes around the city (or you can drop it in the mail for free, as long as you get it postmarked before the election date). The ballot is tracked from the time it's sent, received, and counted (I have mine set to alert me of its status via email and SMS).

> Then they got lazy and just numbered the months.

* Chinese et al have entered the chat

This pattern is fairly common around the world.

It's amusing to me that in the Western world, the original Latin designations are off by two as we moved the start month but never adjusted the corresponding month numbers (so DECember (10) = 12, etc).

Fyi China calls itself 'Zhongguo' — literally 'Middle Kingdom' (Country)
