I've been programming for 30 years and "Code was never the hard part" does not offend me. It's something i've been saying for a long time. You can teach anyone the mechanics of cod…

So you are saying it's even worse than the numbers reported.

The state has created the debt based money we have now. It's always the state. Both are true.

When you mentioned silver coins and bitcoin that helped me understand your position. All modern money is debt. Bitcoin is NOT a form of money. Silver coins do require a debt, which…

It is good, but the harness matters a lot. The harness is what allows an LLM interact with the real world. For finance it's important you get answers using the latest data and that…

As a side note. All money is borrowed. That's how money gets created! Short explainer video by the great late David Graeber https://youtu.be/LxJW7hl8oqM?is=IjdyHwZchaiMHk4C

It's because most people are lib-left. The Financial Times had a great article about comparing social media vs AI. https://archive.ph/Q61eT It's no surprise that the models would r…

Hey, can you try again? There was certificate issue that should be fixed now. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out! When I implemented messaging for Abject, I used the Erlang model. I also added P2P support so objects can talk across the network. There is this great di…

Wait, you are telling me people vibe created apps before LLMs? /s This is beautiful. I loved Hypercard when I was a kid. If they added networking to it, it would have been superior…

Thanks, that's some great research, I updated the post! As you pointed out, how objects handled message passing is isomorphic with Simula's discrete events. However the real story …

I wrote to Alan Kay over 8 years ago about my fears of global warming and how tech seems to dismiss it as a concern on the whole. A little known fact about Alan Kay is 17 years ago…

Haha, haven't heard of Yes Oriented Programmer. I'll have to use that one.

We live in the USA. I had a friend tell me they won't use Chinese models because models like K3 only have moonshot as the provider which is in China. They were afraid of surveillan…

I have built something similar like this for my fund 7 years ago. We were doing parametric optimization on large computational graphs. I have never programmed Ocaml but my understa…

I can second this. I was using Fable for some research and fable said it wasn't going to do it and downgraded to opus. Switched to K3 and continued my work. And it worked really we…

This is terrifying, thanks for putting that out in the world.

This is beautiful. I went there 20 years ago and my mind was blown then how big it was but I really had no idea!

The point of a democracy is the people regulate it. It seems we are so far from a democracy and people feel so little agency, that we forget this. Yes, this should be done by the g…

The guy's vision is a world where children don't get the medicine they need and fascism rules (he gave a nazi salute, unironically). DOGE has killed people. Has killed children.
