"If I don't know you, I don't merge you" And if you catch somebody submitting code they can't explain, you don't know them anymore. It's really simple. Open source has always had a…

Nonsense, it's easy: you just need a social process like Linux has. Patches are ignored unless you've proven yourself to somebody. Start by participating in technical discussions o…

They pipeline-parallelize across multiple chips. DeepSeek v4 Pro will be 30 chips.

I don't think anybody wants to live forever in an old person's body. Frankly, I'm not interested in extending my lifespan unless I can stay young or regain youth. Also, if you elim…

This is the classic "without death, authoritarian depots will be in power forever". But it's actually the wrong way around. Hope that the despot will soon die saps peoples' will to…

I know you're gesturing emphatically at some kind of analogy to cancer, but malignant cancer requires replication not immortality.

I guess you don't use github. It won't let you sign up with @airmail.cc.

Even 0-RTT connections still allocate connection state. IPFS learned this the hard way. The mental model you need is the attacks that cause the Linux kernel to send SYN cookies. Le…

DNS is highly centralized. Iroh isn't.

Kinda lame that people are downvoting this. I've had the same perspective for quite a while now, but hadn't been able to phrase it this cleverly. Our neocortex is, by any definitio…

Wow, really? I took four years of Spanish in high school, and thirty-ish years later I can hold basic conversations with people, ask for things, answer their questions.

DoorDash is viable only because the restaurant business (minus national chains) is extremely balkanized. Restauranteurs have very little power.

Unfortunately the model companies will simply reinject the friction by mandating BYOK (Bring Your Own Key -- i.e. the end user must onboard with each model company individually). O…

This fails to control for the fact that women, on average, live to older ages before dying.

Access control is the operating system's job, and modern OSes already provide plenty of great tools for doing that. Just use the existing sandboxing infrastructure like bubblewrap,…

You can easily do this with simple Unix `chmod x-rw` on a wrapper that makes HTTP requests, adding the access token as it does.
