  • It would make more sense if community just set up contracts amongst themselves to pool together with monthly community fund added to the pile and if something happened, then a clause in the contact begins and facilitate the steps to release fund for that person. Contract could set up arbiter (paid hourly) to determine whether the claim is covered by the contract agreed by the subscribers.

    The major difference in this model is basically that the perverse incentive is removed whereas commercial insurance have every incentives not to pay out to claimants which defeats the purpose of insurance in the first place.

    I don’t know much about insurance laws or contracting to say for sure, but part of me is wondering why we haven’t popularize this idea yet.



  • Yep, streamlining the process to write a new compiler. Most compiler development utilize something like Bison/Flex or by handwriting their own lexer/parser, but those things doesn’t generate AST tree and you still have to read/modify that AST tree before reading it to generate the final resulting code.

    The sheer absurdity in scale of development increases when you realizes that you also have to do the same for LSP server.

    Melosynthos is came up with to think about streamlining all of this in one unified workflow.











  • I see your point, but I believe there’s a bit more to it. In my understanding, Reddit has sort of turned the down-voting system into a game - it influences the sorting algorithm and fosters a competitive environment for opinions rather than acting purely as a filter for content quality. If we were to make down-vote counts invisible and exclude them from the sorting process, we might be able to remove this element of competition.
