In this day, I actually appreciate imperfect human written content.

Too much AI slop, perfect grammar but no substance out there.

This seems like a substance filled book.

Congrats on shipping a book.

Eric Schmidt made billions, probably 10s of billions from Google becoming an AI behemoth. The young graduates who can't find a job, will likely not be able to afford a median home in their 20-30s due to their debt growing faster than earnings. It is a stark difference.

"You have the power to shape AI" - So many empty words spoken!

Not wrong in the cause, but not right in the proposed solution.

I wish the thoughts weren’t AI slop.

The point of rust was to be low level, and take entire classes if use after free and double free bugs out using strict compiler enforcement.

That is a biiiiiiiiiig deal. So yeah that is why Zig is inadequate as the project scales.

What can UN really do? It has no army, it’s a big org with ton of member states and its politics.

Usually might is right and UN has very little might.

nojvek — Sat, 09 May 2026 15:19:24 +0000

One layer above html is having Claude produce .jsx or .tsx files.

Because it can have little components with jsx (html like) bits, it’s fairly human readable and editable.

Components give it semantic compression and the high level scan makes it easier to understand and change.

KORU went nuts this last month. Don’t know how much near the peak we are but anything that goes up this fast, usually comes down too.

This one has major signs of LLM speak, specifically Claude.

Normal humans who rant like, actually rant. This is AI generated rant.

Crypto in bear market, volume is down. Less money to skim. Layoff.

I don’t think it’s a good idea for trillion dollar valuation companies to get dumped in public markets after.

Value is mostly captured by VCs

New comment by nojvek in "No woman in England or Wales can be prosecuted for an abortion any more"

nojvek — Fri, 01 May 2026 23:22:49 +0000

It’s bizarre how US constitution started with rights and they get slowly eroded away.

Abortion is not a state issue, it’s a medical issue between a woman and her doctor.

States and Federal laws have gotten more nosy. Less separation of church and state.

New comment by nojvek in "I am building a cloud"

nojvek — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:16:07 +0000

If someone is building a new cloud, worth learning a few lessons from Cloudflare.

Perhaps the VM idea is old. The unit is a worker encapsulated in some deployable container.

In the world of Cloudflare workers - especially durable objects that are guaranteed to have one of them running in the world with a tightly bound database.

The way I think of apps has changed.

My take is devs want a way to say “run this code, persist this info, microsecond latency, never go down, scale within this $ budget”

It’s crazy how good a deal $5/mo cloudflare standard plan is.

Obviously many startups raise millions and they gotta spend millions.

However the new age of scale to zero, wake up in millisecond, process the request and go back to sleep is a new paradigm.

Vs old school of over provision for max capacity you will ever need.

Google has a similar, scale to zero container story but their cold startup time is in seconds. Too slow.
