If you're looking for a privacy protecting version of OpenRouter, my friend Joseph Perla made trustedrouter.com. It's a pretty slick system and if you're building on openrouter today and are worried about stripe integration m

Trustedrouter.com is a privacy protecting version of openrouter built by some pretty serious engineers. Might be worth a look for anyone who needs this sort of thing.

Bets on Jeff and Sanjay joining anthropic? My guess is 18-24 months.

This is sick, in the 90's Tony Hawk sense of the word. I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now. There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a wee

The thing is... under the laws as they're written today, if US Gov wants to take a peek at your stuff on FB and friends servers, FB can be barred from informing you that such a request has come in under the National Security Letter (NS

Why is it important that a dev can’t do fizzbuzz without ai? If they can ship code that matches a spec, why does it matter if they’re using ai or not? Genuinely curious.

Howdy, I made a repo to automate building software with Garry Tan's gstack repo. Basically you install conductor.build, authenticate to claude, install gstack, and then you can use the web interface to write a strong product requiremen

This thing is absolutely wild. You essentially get an agent in conductor.build who drafts multiple choice replies to your product and engineering questions from claude. Dramatically improved code quality and speed of development for me.

I served on the eboard of CWA local 9410 when all of that was going down. Words cannot describe how crazy things were at that time. I feel like someone will make a movie about it someday.

There’s so much in this article where I look at it and I’m like, is this ai slop? I’m beginning to really appreciate short articles with a few bullet point takeaways. With respect to version control across systems, when you get into serious

LLMs are amazing. Nothing replaces making simple UX instead of complicated kitchen sink products. It’s easy to make stuff. It’s harder to make stuff people want. I am thankful for the increase in product velocity and I also recognize that a

Signal requires a phone number for signup but you only have to share a username. We know from subpoenas that signal only holds the user phone number, creation timestamp, and last login timestamp. That’s it.

by josh2600 9mo ago
This is why signal’s encrypted phone number lookup system is so cool. The server uses a bitwise xor when querying for numbers using hardware encrypted ram. The result is that even if you’re examining the machine at the most basic levels you

I was 7 when Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness dropped. You cannot imagine the lengths we had to go to play this game in our home. We were lucky enough to have two apple computers and so my brother and I would play each other using the battle

I think this was definitely true of CEOs in the past but Google and Meta have managed spectacular infrastructure buildouts over many decades with proper capacity planning. There were a lot of lessons learned in the dotcom boom (mainly relat

Just gotta say that this thread really delivered in so many ways. Thank you for constantly removing some of the veils from the mystery of our computational universe. The notion that you’re a very obvious leftist seems asinine to anyone who

Every single time in my life that I’ve failed, there was a silver lining. The only way to lose at the game of life is to give up. There’s an old Soviet saying “even when you’re eaten by a bear , there’s still at least two ways out.” You’re

Once upon a time my wife went to close a bank account in Italy. She went to the post office which is also a bank in Rome. She asked to closed her account. She was told that she needed to go to the branch where she opened her account in Flor

This is actually one of the major fights of our generation. If signal/whatsapp/e2ee are desecrated, only criminals will have encryption for a short period of time until we all come to our senses and realize that some semblance of

Thank you for contextualizing this. We are truly living in a wild part of the space time continuum.

Not OP but in general sourcing software and hardware radios in that time was very difficult. There weren’t good open-source implementations and everything had to be sorta reverse engineered which meant that anyone with the skill to do that

Encryption absent open source is dubious at best.

This is a combo of high interest rates and the insane IRS tax rules related to R&D expenses for software companies. If companies can’t hire people to build the product they can’t afford to invest in entry level people to push it.

I always think about blackberry’s internal design teams telling the ceo that the iPhone was fake, then getting one and seeing that it was a small logic board with a giant battery. RIM got so completely smoked with their ten year developmen

Yeah what a week to lose two giants. Both were great in very different but resonant ways.

I can only assume that you don’t work in financial technology if you believe that KYC is a solved problem. Proving authenticity in an increasingly diasporic society is difficult. We should seek to either reduce or embrace entropy in the des
