I think at one point you said you’re working on a rust rewrite? Is that still in the cards?

Meant as a joke in good spirit. I do appreciate what Google is doing but I am rooting for them to also compete on the frontier.

Google is crushing it! They’re going toe to toe against the European giant Mistral with all these small useful models and they have a chance of winning! Never have I been more excited about Google’s capabilities.

That TPU training part I get, but from what I have seen the NPU is rarely used for inference by LLMs. They still use the GPU, no?

Do current models run on the NPU or GPU? Wondering if Apple will have something like a TPU.

Unfortunately the codex plans don’t offer the same amount of tokens as they did before. This changed around a week ago. There’s been a lot of user reports noticing this issue, and I’ve noticed the same pattern on my account. Previously I wo

Great primitive, I’m a big fan of prolly trees! You mentioned git like filesystem snapshots? How would you retrofit that on an existing filesystem? Or you’re talking about writing a new one?

I’ve been keeping an eye on hypen.space and hope it succeeds. What is the level of maturity now and are there any multiplatform app examples that are not trivial?

Interested in your choice of Raft. How well does that work when you have heterogeneous machines with varying degrees of latency to each other?

Nostr is not blockchain. It's a p2p protocol.

Perhaps you can get hired by a company to do that. You can't compare yourself as an individual with a company with a large budget.

My bad. The only point I was trying to make is that there’s no left vs right conclusions that you can draw from this.

We’re talking about erosion of privacy and draconian internet surveillance. Brexit was a major screw up and I’m not here to defend any side, just to dispel this illusion that somehow the left are the good ones and the right is the bad far r

The whole left vs right is a useless caricature. And it’s especially meaningless when comparing ideologies across country borders. Better talk in terms of policies.

The first wave will be to mandate ID verification for online services. Some people will then start using p2p services, so the next step is to ban devices that can run non-approved software. Probably having your own VPS running your own soft

Indeed, it’s also crazy to think that some people vaporize tin pellets in order to etch nanometer scale drawings on silicon crystals while others make mud pies. I think that disparity is even bigger.

If you have used WASI in the past, can you mention your use case? Very curious if you found it to give you an edge compared to other sandboxing like containers or VMs.

Sure, I do it, and many others. Some people say it's hard, but I think it's much easier than it used to be, technically. You have projects like https://stalw.art which make it quite easy. Single binary setup which cove

Yeah, but you get to choose who gets to rip off your data. Joking aside, perhaps there would be some privacy focused alternatives and most importantly for Europeans, they would be hosted in the EU.

More like EU became anti-Musk. And Tesla had great sales in the first half of 2026 in the EU.

It’s very risky to make these kind of claims. If the denominator (USD) gets obliterated they might very well be worth $1T. It’s all about liquidity and central banks have a whole bag of tricks at their disposal. They never want to see defla

What are you talking about? The Mac platform is so much more friendly for doing Linux related work. First of all it’s Unix so most tooling has MacOS variants, and secondly you have a miriad way to install WSL like VMs with shared disk.
