I don't get how this is unique to GPU clusters. As a general rule, underwriters are not qualified to operate and maintain the assets they underwrite loans for. That's why houses, c…

The better parallel is "why did Google make Kubernetes open-source" or "why do large for profit entities engaged in competition, use open-source as a strategy against their competi…

I wrote "lightweight polices" not policies. The police presents itself as benign looking in a public context. Enforcement of day to day offences is done mechanically by machines. A…

Something missing as cultural context is that deepfake, involuntary "porn", and all sorts of abuse of personal image, are a rampant and omnipresent problem in Korea. Many things ar…

TLA+, P, Lean... formal methods and previously esoteric testing methods (property based, mutation... testing) should become the default. I think it's the only way we can really rea…

That's a lot of very large jumps to come to the conclusion that Bun isn't going to turn out well.

The problem IMO is that they filled GitHub with Microsoft folks who just don't have the engineering self-sufficient hacker culture that is required to balance the "attraction park"…

This reduces writing to one concept: thinking and the writing is just a byproduct. But writing is also presentation and also communication. There is nothing wrong with speechwriter…

Everything you say is probably true and I agree... and yet. What matters is not just what you plan to do, but what your opponent thinks you'll do. The US in general believes that C…

I mostly agree with everything you say, I just see the balance lying elsewhere on the spectrum. I think China is on it's way to securing its energy supplies with renewables but not…

(1) China is more sensitive to shipping and oil shipments (and derivatives) than the US. It hurts both but China much more. The US is hurt in so far as high gas price are bad for e…

I think this analysis is missing the big picture. (1) reducing oil shipments to China is good posturing for the US; hence Venezuela and Iran ahead of 2028. These are shaping operat…

This right now today is making the case for OSS AI and local inference. 200$/m to get rate limited makes a RTX 6000 Pro look cheap.

Let's say 100k files is 300k syscalls, at ~1-2us per syscall. That's 300ms of syscalls. Then assume 10kb per file, that's 1GB of file, easily done in a fraction of a second when th…

If a human asked me this question, I would be confused by the question as ambiguous since it suggests something odd is implied but underspecified. I think any confident answer eith…

For some reason, I always found the arguments for "it's better to not know" for these tests to be strange and slightly infantilizing. But of course this must not be the end of it, …

I think it's a mistake to believe that this money would exist if it was to be spent on these things. The existence of money is largely derived from society scale intention, excitem…

the rebuke is that lack of chaos makes people feel more orderly and as if things are going better, but it doesn't increase your luck surface area, it just maximizes cozy vibes and …

It feels like we're doing another lift to a higher level of abstraction. Whereas we had "automatic programming" and "high level programming languages" free us from assembly, where …

Hydrocarbons can be synthesized. edit: let me elaborate. My point is that the chemical complexity (manufacturing uses) can be reproduced, and the energy storage density also can be…

You can chose to see it as astroturfing, or see it as people actually thinking the superlatives are appropriate. To be honest, it makes no difference in my life if you believe or n…

The fact that as many engineers are on payroll doesn't mean that "cloud" is not an efficiency improvement. When things are easier and cheaper, people don't do less or buy less. The…

In this year of 2025, in December, I find it untenable for anyone to hold this position unless they have not yet given LLMs a good enough try. They're undeniably useful in software…
