In the 1960s, everyone shared one mainframe. The accountants needed reliability. The researchers needed speed. The inventory team needed uptime. Everyone got a mediocre compromise.
Crypto rebuilt the mainframe and called it a "world computer."
The thing that actually killed the mainframe? It wasn't a better mainframe. It was shared communication protocols. TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP. Standards that let fundamentally different machines talk to each other without caring what was running inside each one.
Your iPhone doesn't need to run Windows to email a PC.
The L1 that figures this out first takes the field. The one that doesn't becomes the most beautifully engineered empty plot in crypto.

@DrLightsSon Yeah, I really liked the vibe! Sad it isn't a proper Mass Effect style RPG. I would've really liked something like that.

@flantoshi Aesthetics and soundtrack are still top tier though 🙂🙌🏼

Finished Deus Ex yesterday - the dystopian elements don't hit nearly as hard as they did 10 years ago.
The tech is advanced, but humanity hasn't been displaced - heck, AI is rare. And a major plot point is that someone is *gasp* using an AI to manipulate people via TV news. 😱
English
@filipblagojevi8 Deus Ex is a world where the elites have shadowy interests, girls are kidnapped off the streets to satisfy their nefarious goals, and every conspiracy theory turns out to be true.
Good thing it's fiction, right?

Do you know what it took to get from $20k to $7k? I do.
We cut everyone's pay. Increased C-suite compensation obviously. Fired the interns. Replaced half the factory with AI.
The Ramadan party? We had to bring our own snacks. I brought hummus. Ahmed brought nothing. As usual.

Americans discovered that the actual production costs of the Shahed drone are not $20,000, nor even $10,000 as initially estimated, but only $7,000. The production of the Shahed-136 drone for Iran requires as much resources and labor as the production of a regular agricultural tractor. Iran possesses vast industrial capacities and material stocks that can be redirected from civilian production to defense as needed, allowing it to produce cheap weapons that can then disable missile defense radars costing several hundred million dollars.

HOW THE U.S. COULD LOSE BADLY
In 2002, a retired Marine general sank the entire U.S. fleet in a war game using tactics Iran could use today.
The Pentagon spent $250 million to learn this lesson. Then they buried it.
A Thread 🧵
English
I'm not inventing anything and you implying as much is very much bad faith.
The CIP's implementation plan literally says: 'The plan is to implement and integrate Ouroboros Tachýs into the Haskell reference implementation of the Cardano node.' And dcoutts spent multiple comments arguing explicitly for in-tree maintenance. His words: "This means it is not sufficient to simply take the code base... Tachys does need to be integrated into one or more mainline code bases." The full paragraph makes the same point but buries the punch..
That's not my framing. That's the author's stated goal. The compatibility question isn't something I invented - it's the central tension of the entire 115-comment thread between dcoutts and BeRewt.
Your point about 'the old code is still there' is exactly the fork drift argument that both dcoutts and FilipBl4gojevic flagged as the real hidden cost.
Frozen codebases accumulate debt and die.

Again, you're misunderstanding how these things work. Worst case, future node implementations diverge the code bases. The old code is still there, and still totally serviceable for the partner chain to use. I don't think it's fair to bind cardano in that way. Leios will likely make significant changes that Apex is unlikely to need or maybe even agree with. But those changes dont prevent them from maintaining their own code base with a divergent implementation of ouroboros. Additionally, the CIP isn't even proposing any kind of commitment to "maintain compatibility"; it's simply describing how Ouroboros Tachys will work. So I feel like you're inventing things for the sake of arguing.

Cardano: Where a CIP to make things fast, dies slowly
>be cardano developer
invent consensus protocol called "Tachys" - literally Greek for "fast"
submit CIP to make partner chains go 4x speed

cardano moment

I feel like we're talking past each other.
You're right that the spec is independent. But the whole point of Cardano partner chains is sharing the codebase and tooling. Without a CIP commitment, there's no assurance future node changes won't silently break the Tachys implementation.
The spec is worthless if nobody maintains compatibility. And if that compatibility is too uncertain, teams won't build on Cardano's stack at all - they'll go somewhere with more stability and more liquidity.
So, I respect your argumentation on a purely technical level. You can run circles around me there, absolutely no question. But I'm making the case on a business level.
If this doesn't happen, then Cardano goes against much of what it had promised in terms of making it easy to connect to it.
English
No, they don't. If Cardano makes changes, it doesn't disrupt the partnerchain's consensus protocol. Maybe there's twice as much code in the world, but unless I missed something, this CIP isn't specifying how the two chains interact, it's just specifying a new Ouroboros consensus protocol. That needs no commitment from Cardano.
English
@Quantumplation You're right it doesn't change how Cardano mainnet works. But if partner chains build on Cardano's stack, they need stability across versions.
That commitment is the Cardano-specific change - and it's why a CIP matters here.
English
You keep missing the point that that's not what the CIP does. It is not suggesting any changes to how Cardano works.
It is instead describing a very similar protocol, heavily derived from Cardano's consensus, that another chain intends to run.
Posting strawman arguments like this isn't helping defuse the situation at all :)
