The problem is not with the poor/small farmers. Those people are genuinely fucked over. The problem are the larger "farmers", quotations because they do not do the farming themselves, rather renting the fields out to landless laborers at extraordinary costs, in a system reminiscent of the medieval feudal systems

There is a difference between invasion and migration though, AIT has long been debunked, the current consensus is AMT

But isn't the entire point of that system prompt to stop the malicious users. The majority of users are not going to ask those requests anyway.

The problem with that is we don't have any kind of training data in that abstract sense, maybe we could use RL to figure that out but current RL techniques are too slow and prone to breakage that anybody trying to use them to train a big enough general model (LLM, diffusion, world model, etc) will either fail or have to make a very very big investment.

The other option is maybe hook up humans to EEG or the likes and map their brains while they solve different kinds of problem, or just see and feel the world around them

A genuine question for the people here, I am just a college student so maybe I am missing something, but does anybody actually browse through linkedin? The only times I actually open it up is when either I did something that I would like to remember when I update my Resume at a later date, or when my friends text me to open it up and like their post :)

They could go the sqlite route for it then, no outside code but let us have a look

Its VC funded too, so I wouldn't bet too much on it. Try out ngit or radicle, or codeberg if your code is open-source

Hello! The author here, albeit only saw this after 6 days. But if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. This is my first project of this scale!!

akshitgaur2005 — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 16:53:18 +0000

This is my first project that I have built that can be used by people other than me!

I was trying to get schbench to work on RedoxOS, but unfortunately it uses many linux specific features (eg futex), so I thought why not keep it in line with Redox and write it in Rust!!

Would really like some feadback from experienced devs here on what I did good and what could have been improved!

I get public transport being more "difficult" than uber, but more expensive too? Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?

New comment by akshitgaur2005 in "Oxide raises $200M Series C"

akshitgaur2005 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 15:51:26 +0000

I'm the undergrad who commented earlier. I’ve been poking around the Hubris source code and it’s exactly the kind of stack I want to work on. I'm actually doing the Redox Summer of Code this year, focused on implementing an EEVDF scheduler and a performance testing harness for the kernel.

From the inside, is Oxide a place where a fresh grad can actually be useful? Or is the "complexity floor" of hardware/software co-design so high that you really just need a few decades of experience to be effective? I'd love a reality check on whether I should keep Oxide as a long-term 10-year goal or if there’s a path for people starting out.

I just came to know about Oxide the other day, and god damn if it is not a dream workplace! High salary, flat structure, a large open-source presence, and maybe much more! Their blogs are really good too.

I am an undergraduate right now and looking at the people working there, it doesn't seem likely they would hire a fresh grad, I think I have found the yardstick I am going to measure myself by going forward, "Am I skilled enough that I could work at Oxide?". Hope more companies follow suit in putting the people forward!!

Codeberg, Tangled, Radicle!

akshitgaur2005 — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:16:29 +0000

Codeberg, if your product/project is open source, otherwise try out Tangled.org and Radicle!!

Radicle is the most exciting out of these, imo!
