Happy user here, pairing it with Composer 2.5, with Fugu Ultra as advisor and Fugur as planner. For scope/architecture it’s on par with useful Fable-style orchestration than one chat thread.

I've been shipping production on archive.tw with Fugu Ultra in /advisor on oh-my-pi.

Advisor doesn’t slow the loop if the driver stays fast. Worth it if your harness can split advisor from worker.

I also got a significant speedup after the rewire (without looking at the prompt.)

OTOH, I was consciously visualizing the mirrored position of the target circle on screen and navigating toward that without looking at the mouse cursor, so mentally it's exactly the same movement as the pre-rewire step.

Well, that would be offering respect while asking for disrespect... which is also a form of external validation.

By offering respect without the need to receive respect in return.

I still actively code. Most of the gov tech we deploy in Taiwan is based on civic tech, re-packaged to run on sandstorm.io (CodiMD is a good example). We also rely heavily on Pol.is and Rocket.chat.

Other than that, a lot of it is just automating chores — booking my office hour appointments, maintaining sayit.pdis.nat.gov.tw (part of the radical transparency protocol visit.pdis.tw), etc.

Non-work-related projects such as moedict.tw and Hackage/CPAN modules are mostly in maintenance mode, with occasional releases based on pull requests from the community.

Thanks James! We just published the office hour transcript: https://sayit.pdis.nat.gov.tw/2018-08-22-james-lee-visit

(as a radically transparent Minister, all visits and all internal meetings I chair are published on the internet: https://visit.pdis.tw/.)

It's a fair question. The Ministry of Education's interpretation for its use of ND clause scopes specifically to the individual items, not the compilation:

"The use of words, radicals, strokes, glyphs, phonetic readings and interpretations of the individual items in the Revised Mandarin Dictionary may not be modified or converted into simplified forms.

However, the change of the code according to the contents of the reference table provided by the Ministry of Education, as well as modifications unrelated to the specific items in the Revised Mandarin Dictionary specified above, are deemed as outside the scope of prohibition of modification."

Indeed, We the People was one of the earliest inspirations of the Join platform.

After I joined the cabinet as the Digital Minister, we have iterated on it quite a bit: https://civichall.org/civicist/what-vtaiwan-teaches-us-about...

Here in Taiwan, we also offer free Wi-Fi access across the High Speed Rails system (~180mph, ~200 miles of coverage), reliable enough even in tunnels, as of this year.

That setup actually works really well; its predecessor GX700 was one of the few previous-gen laptops that can drive HTC Vive _and_ Oculus Rift (adapters required) at the same time. https://plus.google.com/+AudreyTang/posts/VGebgzXnefP

Uber and Airbnb participated in the vTaiwan e-deliberation process, with quite different results — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbdvvStfWT0&list=PLdwQWxpS51... explains the crowd-policymaking process in 14 minutes.

The process leading to this was documented here: https://blog.pol.is/vtaiwan-uberx/ Registration was cited as one of the six consensus items by the e-deliberation process, and so far the only one that Uber has not yet assented to.
