I went full meme, and stacked like 3 level of generators on top of eachother. Level 1: A basic generator does the same stuff: Raw Structs to SoA + Wire Codecs + Bitfields to not waste space. Level 2: Then on top of this one, I got a generat

Hi ogig, funilly enough I was also running this boids experiment a few months ago. Managed to get around 8k at 60 fps on 1 thread on my cpu, using golang. My goal for this experiment was to encode the optimal cache data structures into meta

I think OPs mantra is "Scrape. Automate. Scale." It feels like people who consent to this "passive" income, do not understand what they consent to. The business model seems grey towards black. "Signup to be part of

I am curious if I got it right, but the business of the company is providing exit nodes for AI bots/ strangers via peoples residential IP's? This is my impression from accessing the website. I was interested at first, but now I go

I did not measure agents, but lets take the following example: Assume you have a 10 GB blu ray movie that you want to watch without waiting for upload/ donwload time. Maybe you host it on a server on another continent, where you got a

I just had a talk (power-rushed a bit) yesterday at Pass The SALT 2026 talking about (my version of) latency hiding filesystems in userspace over the network. My benchmarks, setups, and how to make the magic wawaweewa work. Basically it wen

I see nothing wrong with something probabilistic. I think it is all about offsetting the risk and reducing the odds of bad outcomes. There is this concept of Defence in Depth, thus I assume some sort of binomial formula also applies here.

Couldn't run your benchmarks, as I did not create an account, and a bit of a different beast that I am comparing against (P2P distributed filesystem), but these are my numbers and setup, and the on-demand part lines up with what I have

I am curious, how do you handle latency issues for on demand access? I saw you use FUSE (and FSKit), and from my experience it is pain to make filesystems in userspace work on-demand over WAN because a) latency, and variable RTT; and b) you

Google hits 50% IPv6, very good for accessing websites. But my TP-Link router blocks by default inbound IPv6 connections, without any option to configure it, still bad for pure IPv6 bidirectional streaming, gaming or services on home networ

Highly recommend. The exampels are in c/c++ and the same concepts can be ported to other languages like golang. My favorite part of it is Chapter 2 the bit manipulation tricks.

Nice! Now the question is: How many classic Reynolds boids can you run on 1 CPU at 60FPS, without using any go routines? I managed to get around 8192 using Serge Skoredin's approach from the blog post last year: https://skor

Let me know how it goes, or frustrations. I admit that currently it is not the most friendly UX. And found out a bug that if no direct P2P possible, it fails to fallback to the STUN-ish data relay. However LAN mode and WAN via direct P2P wo

It is possible. I tell to use cli app, and for the agent to ad timer and check the status once in a while. Especially if there is something with a long wait. Also if it can run some validators/ same tools locally, would be much faster.

I treat the low level tasks as building blocks. You need a grasp and understanding of what is possible with them, but you do not need to remember the exact byte order and syntax. I think the idea is you should structure your workflow in a d

I will add this on the roadmap. At the moment I am trying to add persistent identity, as by default it is ephemeral. But I warn you, there are still some kinks. Only 75% pjdfstest (filesystem test suite) passes in terms of POSIX compliance.

Yes-ish, adjacent. Syncthing usually you use it to sync to your server. Here I skipped the server part. I just connect two devices. If they both use the virtual mountpoint MountAlice and MountBob They get an underlying SaveAlice and SaveBob
