I meant a cli is essentially a wrapper around an API, you are right it is less complex than a direct call. My point was that now there is an API you can call with this CLI, or a cli you vibecode yourself to call the API or you can call the

This is an API. They now allow users to create accounts, buy domains and deploy from their api instead of going on the website. That's great. I am not sure I understand why all this complex protocol is needed though, especially now tha

If we agree that consciousness is a physical process part of our universe, I think the better and simpler question is whether or not computers can simulate any physical process. Currently quantum processes might still be a frontier but quan

would encrypting sms and using some kind of authorized certificate authorities, maybe the ones from the country's phone carriers, alleviate this issue?

Another good book exploring this idea of not dying is Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton. Only in this book almost everyone has access to the technology by paying into a rejuvenation fund instead of a retirement one as we have today. It

That's what I thought too skimming through the documentation, my thinking is that since it does that, which makes sense to avoid script injection, why not do it with "jsonized" html.

Right this makes sense, I wonder if it would then be a good idea to abstract html to JSON, making it impossible to include css and js into it

I see how useful a universal UI language working across platforms is, but when I look at some examples from this protocol, I have the feeling it will eventually converge to what we already have, html. Instead of making all platforms support

The EU represents about 24% of the global Saas market for example. (95 billion in 2024 / global SaaS market in 2025 is ~ $408 billion). For comparison, North America leads globally at around 43-50% market share)

It makes sense, I would be curious to see the price computations done by the different space GPUs startups and Big Tech, I wonder how they are getting a cheaper cost, or maybe it is marketing.

We also have to build a lot more solar and nuclear in addition of the datacenters themselves, which we need to do anyway but it would compound the land we use for energy production.

The one thing that space has going for itself is space. You could have way bigger datacenters than on Earth and just leave them there, assuming Starship makes it cheap enough to get them there. I think it would maybe make sense if 2 things:

Something weird here, why is it so hard to have a deterministic program capable of checking a proof or anything math related, aren't maths super deterministic when natural language is not. From first principles, it should be possible t

Right, a pure functional program can be composed of many things, so it can be complex even without side effects. Only a program with side effects is necessarily complex, as it includes at least two components if not more. Another interestin

It is interesting how the data rush is changing, it was about Ads targeting, now it is about training AI. I wonder if one is better than the other for the open-source community? Would Chrome be more free or more locked-in with OpenAi
