Interesting framing. The article makes a compelling case that we're seeing the hangover from 14 years of ZIRP-fueled hiring rather than an AI apocalypse. But I'm curious what peopl…

The toxicology is pretty damning: codeine without morphine in stomach contents means someone crushed up Tylenol-3 and gave it to a 12-day-old baby. That's not a metabolic quirk—it'…

2035: Apple takes 30% of my Patreon, Google matched it through their "Competitive Parity Agreement," and the EU fined them both €2 billion which they paid in 45 minutes of revenue …

Surprised London holds this position given the cost of living. Housing alone eats such a massive chunk of salary that I'd expect talent to gravitate toward cities where their equit…

Fair enough—I wasn’t imagining tiny compass-wielders. I was thinking more about whether the structure of a geometric construction might map to something computationally useful, lik…

Is there a computational advantage to constructing φ geometrically versus algebraically? In rendering or CAD, would you actually trace the circle/triangle intersections, or just co…

What’s the latency on a hostcall? A PCIe round-trip for something like File::open is fine—that’s slow I/O anyway. But if a println! from GPU code blocks on a host round-trip every …

At ~$100B in AI funding, the question isn’t capital—it’s physical constraints. Data centers need power (H100s are ~700W each), and recent capacity additions were mostly pre-allocat…

The 160k → 90k LOC reduction is nice, but the parallel rollout is the more interesting part. Running Rust alongside the C++ version and using differential fuzzing to check equivale…

The 2.5 days to scan 100 million cutouts is impressive, but what's more interesting is the approach: rather than training a model to recognize specific categories of objects, Anoma…
