“The core idea of emergence inspired me to develop the concept I call the entangled brain: the need to understand the brain as an interactionally complex system where functions emerge from distributed, overlapping networks of regions rather than being localised to specific areas.”

At ICSE @icseconf 2025? Check out Jiannan Wang’s D3 talk at 2:30 PM today Friday in Room 215 about how we find real-world bugs in production distributed systems code! https://bsky.app/profile/lin-tan.bsky.social/post/3ljvkq4fjzk23 #deepleanring #distributed #testing

Happy International Workers’ Day!

We want to celebrate the hard work you’ve put into #distributed and #opendata #workflows , #software #tools , etc.

Make sure to get your registration for #distribits2025 in TODAY before registrations close: https://distribits.live.

I think I finally have this thing complete - the paper is live hosted on a little test node, also lives as README.md on the GitHub.

Underlying question: How can society reclaim the immense potential usefulness of AI to build knowledge models in a distributed, non-concentralized fashion (community cloud nodes as neuron layers, model stores, transformers, query interfaces, etc. analogous to a system like mastodon). Empower the users, help boost citizen science, prevent disastrous knowledge monopolies.

"…#Bluesky was started with its prime mission as creating a #distributed system. The more they dig in on nice-to-have features that have nothing to do with being distributed, the more they go down the same path as #Twitter. Jack talked about turning Twitter into a developer platform as early as 2007. Had they realized the system he talked about, basically global object storage with real financial backing, we'd be much further along with the web as an operating system."

A post on one step of my journey to get off of commercial cloud services: A personal music streaming service with #Navidrome running on a #RaspberryPi at home that does this on the side. All with minimal overhead and powered by #GitAnnex data logistics.

Interesting #distributed #Git review system that stores reviews in the repo itself:

Might be better than #email based reviews tbh. I like the decentralized aspect of email driven development, not a fan of the UX of it in practice.
