> But [Wittgenstein's] philosophy is general enough to not really contribute much as a whole

Is this consensus (in Western tradition) or your opinion?

> Wittgenstein wasn't very smart (and in my opinion, often wrong)

Well, you've got to hand it to Wittgenstein for being one of the most self-critical philosophers, if nothing else.

> He rejected infinite mathematical extensions

Socrates abhorred the written form, but that takes nothing away from his works (as presented by Plato). I guess humans are weird in weird ways, and pretty excellent in others.

Also, to the power of modern-day cryptography that rubber-hose and evil maid (backdoors) are the only viable (even if expensive) alternatives.

> the government disappears, there are really only two fundamental technologies needed to reboot everything: money and contracts

Both of which require "governance", but post-collapse, it may be of form that may not benefit the collective.

Not sure if it was the only cause, but in a month since then, conversion rates 2x'd (~100/mo to ~250/mo), while % of cancel/refund requests have stayed the same.

The golang docs are like this. As a novice, you are looking for detailed prose, but as you progress, you come to appreciate the terseness.

Business will have to try different things at different points due to external & internal pressures. Some decisions are reversible (at cost), some aren't. Decisions (chaotic / complex / complicated ones, at least) are not made merely based on available data and analysis, but also based on intuition, experiments, and predictions. Then, to look at the outcome rather than the process is missing the point. When the circumstance / situation isn't clear-cut, the feedback (the outcome of a decision) is in itself more valuable to the organization (than never having taken the decision, at all), especially when the costs (to reverse / change it) are bearable.

Anil Madhavapeddy's take on such setups: A compiler that just refuses to stop.

  MirageOS is a system written in pure OCaml where not only do common network protocols and file systems and high-level things like web servers and web stacks can all be expressed in OCaml but the compiler just refuses to stop ... compiler, instead of stopping and generating a binary that you then run inside Linux or Windows, will continue to specialize the application that it is compiling and ... emit a full operating system that can just boot by itself.

  [if they had to comply with the bill as written] Tailscale told The Globe and Mail that it would have to "pursue corporate structures" to distance its international operations from Canada.

Nothing. Thomas, as most ambitious start up founders do according to PG, is living in the future.

  There are already a few places that are living in the future in this respect. Silicon Valley is one of them: an unknown person working on a strange-sounding idea won't automatically be dismissed the way they would back home ...

  The right way to deal with new ideas is to treat them as a challenge to your imagination — not just to have lower standards, but to switch polarity entirely, from listing the reasons an idea won't work to trying to think of ways it could.

Anywho, given your strong conviction about this, consider suggesting to Jason on the WireGuard mailing list to swap ChaPoly for AES-GCM, or perhaps consider a fork yourself. Good luck.

You lose the formally-verified cryptography guarantees underpinning WireGuard & its implementation, though. That's a bigger tradeoff: https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/

Has hardware-offload (for AES et al) got faster still, or that keeping CPU busy in the data path for 100gbps workloads is not ideal, or something else? The WireGuard website claims ChaPoly is at least as fast as hardware-accelerated AES. And that it can be further sped up with SIMD.

> now we’re on to the next order of magnitude together

Curious: Is this work currently in progress? If so, what's more that's still lined up? The previous GRO/GSO(/LRO, too?) improvements were incredibly impressive (even to u/majke, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35567268).

Thanks.

Just Obscura's compromise is enough, as pointed out previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43016574

Unless something has changed in Obscura's architecture, the interface with Mullvad is under Obscura's control, and thus it can compromise client's credentials. This is unlike iCloud Private Relay where the guarantees are cryptographic in nature and not merely based on promises.

FSST is based on a fixed size (255 items) dictionary of high frequency variable length strings/substrings (learned from the corpus) encoded as one byte.

If you're talking about Proton VPN, they do support "credential-less accounts" through their official apps, I believe? At least, on Android since 2024: https://www.androidpolice.com/proton-vpn-works-without-accou...

Cache read/write decrease by 50% or similar? That's where most (95%+) of the cost is for agentic coding workloads.

For a model that matches Muse Spark 1.3 in benchmarks, MiMo v2.6 Pro is incredibly cheap, given its cache rates will remain $0.0036 per million.
