Many of this tools primary aim is to even the scales. If bot spends less energy its a cost for the provider. If bots spend same or more energy compared to provider who designed it for human consumption then its fair. Its about balancing the scales and for a small website, ecommerce or content provider who runs a small scale operation, its imperative to control the costs as they have limited compute, memory and bandwidth budget.

This is one of the motivation I created sibuna to be able to help them.

You can also look at https://github.com/insanai/sibuna, for it you can do PoW and can get access via an a Token. Also it has a wasm based solver for itself which works with users. You can also run it on local machine with wasm runtime no need of browser. Probably it can also help with cloudflare. I am the author of sibuna.

Great to see another way to do specification. I also created So created guidedog: https://github.com/insanai/guidedog for working with multiple AI providers, inspired by PEP, RFC and Oxide RFD.

I worked a lot of Python PEP which was adopted by rust and java later and working with RFC and RFC process since 1990's. Then later saw RFD by Oxide based on RFC. Learning from all of them created guidedog, the philosophy is if its good for human it is automatically very good for AI (most LLM are trained on it).

guidedog supports RestructuredText (since its specification) as core markup with support for markdown. Its modeled after sphinx but can work for documentation, discussions (what you call as Deliberation Records) and can be a static site generator. So you don't need 3 tools one single tool a cli which can do all three. For doing this I worked by porting docutils and then building own parser and compiler in rust.

This process so far worked extremely well for me as it is not just very good for AI, but provides complete control to humans. Also I like completely offline reading experience on paper. So this has first class pdf support.

If you look at repos in insanai many projects used this process with AI and worked well. Just one hard work this process needs for human agency is to really read each discussion properly and sometimes they can be long. But its a very small work which can help later with verification and even writing documentation for what's being built.

Its funny, when I was reading part time parliament paper (paxos) and while learning zig and odin language created a pure paxos library and then the first application for that library was to build a multi-master sqlite. The two approaches I took are very different in case of zig I build zaxonlite (https://github.com/insanai/zaxonlite) and have a benchmark on it that includes rqlite. It uses WAL replication as strategy. The second attempt I tried in odin is sqlodin (https://github.com/insanai/sqlodin), in this the system does not use WAL but run sql query on each node, as result subset of sql query in sqlite are not supported.

This is what happens when an important position to head the Leading AI lab of the company is given to a startup marketing guy, who pretends to be an Lead AI scientist, whose biggest credential is to sale the same startup at exhorbitant valuation to the the same company. This is the price for embracing better marketers over real innovators.

Yes name was anubis backwards and thats the only resemblance between the 2 projects and also I used anubis, safeline for benchmarks compparison. Each of the design records are in the repo if you want to see the evolution and algorithms used.

Its not a rewrite and is more inspired by https://github.com/chaitin/safeline. Wanted a web interface and a distributed waf similar to cloudflare as an alternative. It supports OWASP CRS, J4A TLS trrmination handling. Comes with console-ui and also the proof of work used a different algorithm which is proven to be resistant to quantum attacks.

In the spirit of open source thought about it and created sibuna (https://github.com/insanai/sibuna)

It works similar to cloudflare WAF but is an open source software. It can be on your own infrastructures even if its a $5 VPS.

The idea is same let the bot or AI agent do more work than it takes to serve that request. Also it needs to follow rules, similar to cloudflare enterprise web application firewalls. It was OWASP CRS and J4A TLS support.

You can check two projects on top of sqlite using paxos and implement reciprocal rank fusion (RRF) and distribution-based fusion score (DBSF) on top of sqlite with sqlite's FTS and sqlite-vec extensions.

Project zaxonlite: https://github.com/insanai/zaxonlite

Project sqlodin: https://github.com/insanai/sqlodin

Just you need to remember sqlite support single writer at a time so both needs to work with that limitation. PostgreSQL uses MVCC, so performance for concurrent writes from multiple clients might be better. Did not do benchmark against it so cannot say.
