    CHERI seems to accomplish much of what Fil-C does, in-hardware. And removes some of the trust from the entire build toolchains in your entire supply chain, because memory-unsafety …

    Feels like a human-authored outline that was run through AI to make it into an article.

    Yea, but if humans went extinct tomorrow, very little human artifacts would remain after millions of years. Indeed, most would be gone well before that. How much stuff from the 18t…

    And it wasn't just laziness that made them drag their feet. They actively fear the web as a platform, and very much want everyone to do everything through their app stores, using t…

    Yes, exciting stuff. Not to mention the gene-therapy version of the same PCSK9 inhibition pathway called VERVE-102 which Eli Lilly is putting through human trials as we speak. I im…

    For context, that revenue was $18.67 billion in 2025, with a net loss of $4.94 billion. And we must remember that 6G is in the final stages of development, which has peak speeds of…

    Just because someone has a high net worth does not mean they are not trying to scam people, and it is good to be on the lookout for that. Every human being is self-interested, at l…

    That was true up until generative AI. Now, we have a new problem of high-definition fakes being easy to produce.

    Look up the lifestyle of Hugo Chavez's daughter, or the family of Tareck El Aissami, or the Narconephews affair, or the Cartel of the Suns.

    A lot of founders are the cause of enshittification. In fact, most of the big names I can think of are.

    open hardware to me means that you have access to all of the specifications for building the hardware. Things like when the laptop company Framework posts github repos full of CAD …

    The panopticon concept from Bentham was interesting because even if there was only a small chance that you might be observed, at any given time, then people would act as if they we…

    yea, but those users can still upgrade to 6.7 which isn't even out yet, and then also remain on that as a supported release for a significant amount of time. And you'd have to bala…

    It is the standard, and is extremely flexible. It was probably the wrong framework for most use-cases, which are often just CRUD screens. But, we are in an AI world now, so probabl…

    Maybe that's why they hired first, and then fired. Give the new people 6 months to benefit from all that institutional knowledge.

    My understanding is that inference (running existing models) is around 1/4th of the average compute budget for AI companies. Training new models takes up about 3/4ths. As such, usi…

    Is there any danger of transplanting organs into you that have genes which signal not to develop a brain? Would those genes potentially affect your actual brain?
