Very interesting and ambitious project and nice design. I hope the author will be able to comment here. I'm interested to hear about the plans or capabilities in R' or Radiance for things like concurrent programming, asynchronous/scheduling, futures, and invisible or implied networking. AI is here and will be a big part of future personal computing. I wonder what type of open source accelerator for neural networks is…

Thanks for your comment! In terms of concurrent programming in Radiance, it's likely I go for something inspired by Go's simplicity and Haskell's power with STM[0]. Actors are also on the table, but likely as a library on top of the native system, whatever it is. The important thing is that everything that involves "waiting" be composable in this system: timers, network i/o, IPC, file i/o, etc. For the AI/OS intersec…

Data is interlinked like a personal wiki, not scattered across folders. This sounded really interesting... till I read this: > It’s an AI-native operating system. Artificial neural networks are built in and run locally. The OS understands what applications can do, what the…

It's always cool to see people playing around with ideas about how to make better computer systems from first principles. On the other hand, it's hard to turn a project into a real system that solves real problems for people. Can I use it to chat on Discord with other people I know who use Discord? If not, then I'm gonna need a computer for that, in addition to this thing. I do not like Discord, but nonetheless it ha…

Does anyone else find this just completely lacking in substance? I've read all the comments here and it seems like I must be missing something. This just reads like complete BS vaporware. Why should any of us take it seriously?

The landing page reads like it was written with an LLM. Somehow this makes me immediately not care about the project; I expect it to be incomplete vibe-coded filler somehow. Odd what a strong reaction it invokes already. Like: if the author couldn’t be bothered to write this, why waste time reading it? Not sure I support that, but that’s the feeling.

I am very concerned about the long term effects of people developing the habit of mistrusting things just because they’re written in coherent English and longer than a tweet. (Which seems to be the criterion for “sounds like an LLM wrote it”.)
