New comment by nadis in "The Building Block Economy"

nadis — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 21:25:17 +0000

> The most effective way to build software and get massive adoption is no longer high quality mainline apps but via building blocks that enable and encourage others to build quantity over quality.

I read the first sentence and immediately got excited. Building blocks, but not in the traditional sense of no / low code where you trade off creative flexibility for constrained preexisting blocks. Instead, it's building blocks that enable more people to build higher quality application experiences. Not slop, not copy/paste components, but something creative.

New comment by nadis in "Safeguarding cryptocurrency by disclosing quantum vulnerabilities responsibly"

nadis — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 22:01:56 +0000

> "Quantum computers promise to solve otherwise impossible problems, including examples in chemistry, drug discovery, and energy. However, large-scale cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) will also be able to break current, widely used public-key cryptography that protects things like people’s confidential information. Governments and others, including Google, have been preparing for this security challenge for many years. With continued scientific and technological progress, CRQCs are getting closer to reality, requiring a transition to PQC, which is why we recently introduced our 2029 migration timeline."

Is this as wild a news as I think it is? I'm surprised I haven't yet seen more reactions to the 2029 migration timeline plan (proposed?).

New comment by nadis in "The Malleable Software That Never Was"

nadis — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 21:14:44 +0000

> "The real promise of this era is not that everyone shapes and customizes their own tools with malleable systems. It is that agents become capable enough that we no longer need to."

I thought the conclusion here was super interesting, and personally have mixed feelings. On the one hand, love the vision of high-quality tools being available near-instantly in this new AI-native software era.

On the other, I think there's a loss in turning everyone from builders into consumers. Yes, not every person wants to build every tool all the time. But I also think there's something inherently so empowering and delightful in making it possible - albeit not necessary - to build something you've imagined.

We play with legos not because we can't get pre-made toy houses or cars or such, we do it because it's delightful in its own right.

> "Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him."

The level of detail and puppets / tech / etc. is so impressive.

It was quite surprising!

New comment by nadis in "The Sourdough Framework"

nadis — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 22:10:32 +0000

As someone who just recently got into baking sourdough and was literally discussing earlier today some of the challenges around different starters, conditions, and lots of bad / misleading advice online, this is fun to see.

As a bit of an aside, I've found my starter is a lot more resilient than the internet would have me believe. I managed to bring it back to life from the brink after accidentally pouring boiling water directly on it. Fingers crossed no more near-death experiences for it again!

I also find King Arthur's guides and recipes super helpful; recently, I've started popping them into ChatGPT and requesting modifications (e.g. volume, ingredient alterations based on my learnings or needs, altitude adjustments etc.).
