<p>I have build a proper workflow system for complex work that composes environments from nix flakes (very extended flakes) - it allows you to combines deterministic with agentic steps.
The release process is a workflow in your project that requires to generate reproducible outputs - nix does this for you.
The network basically is a distributed CI system - Multiple parties need to check and build your release. When all parties agree, that the package is correct, the SUI smart contract gives it's go. IKA is a multi party encryption network which implements a novel MCP-2pc algorithm. Your release key is split in half - IKA has one part, you have the other. Only is both parties sign the transaction, your software package gets release.
Every party, even your PC can be compromised, and it is very hard to just release malware in your package. The whole release pipeline needs to succeed ant then you need to sign it with your hardware token.
There are mandatory workflows in the release pipeline that check your software for side loading, comparing your dependency tree to the last version published, etc.<p>It is the largest project I have ever build and I code since 25 years.<p>I was just not satisfied with the agentic tools out there, nor with the CI / build infrastructure. Nix is nice, but the way packages are build / signed is just half way to perfect.<p>We can be lucky that the github hack did not infect the CI infrastructure. Imagine you infect the compilers in github CI to add a sleeper worm that does nothing for a month...<p>Only if you have multiple parties, building the same software with bootstrapped compilers and every artifact is hash compared, you can be sure it is legit</p>

<p>Working hard on the github killer. Fully decentralized with nearly unbreakable release system. Multiple parties need to produce the same artifacts in the release workflow. IKA then signs the release on the network side, you sign your release using hardware token. Release pipeline analysis source code for malware on the complete dependency chain.
Rust + Nix + SUI + WALRUS + SEAL + IKA - a complete decentralized economy. A few more weeks until testnet :)</p>

<p>I'm building a fix since over half a year. Very sophisticated workflow engine for the paranoid with strong AI integration and fully decentralized and deterministic behavior. Nix, Rust, SUI, Walrus, SEAL, IKA and my engine/framework + many tools.
One goal is to have multiple workflows by independent parties that not only check the compiler output, but do advanced source chain analysis. When enough parties report successful run, the IKA network signs the build digests.
You can hold the second part of the key, so only you + successful pipeline will result in a release.
No single point of failure, no single party that can be hacked.</p>

<p>Stand with him and help him through his hard time - when he has fought it off, you will be buddies for life.<p>There is no universal cure for cancer, but most of them can be starved out. Carbohydrates are fuel for cancer avoid them on all cost. Depending on the cancer, fasting and strong reduction of caloric intake. Some expert say, you should avoid autophagy, some say, 30-40 day fast can starve it out - depending on the type.
GDF-11 seems to to have fixed some - needs to be precisely adjusted based on bio markers. There are some peptides to boost immune system. If he wants to eat, vegan and mostly greens, fibers and no processed foods.<p>As a biohacker, my suggestion: Vitamin D, K MH-7, Zinc, Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine, Zone 2 Training, Stretching 2x day 15 minutes at least (immune-cells use fascia as roads - glued fascia layers are a breeding ground for cancer)</p>

<p>The only reason it gives you the illusion of beeing richer then our previous generations is, that you can now buy tons of cheap Chinese shit for which your grandparents had to buy very expensive western utilities (the stuff that still works).<p>Otherwise, we are, on average, poorer then our parents. Our kids, if you are still consider having them, will be poorer then you.<p>A necessary result from capitalism with fiat money. However, if your wealth exceeds a certain threshold, currently something around 1.5-2 million €, you will benefit from this system and earn more all the time.</p>

<p>I studied philosophy and physics in my youth and I can distinguish between a genius and a "crackpot" very well. Details are what counts, you can get every model to fit roughly if you don't care about the number of constants involved. If the model is correct, it also works for extreme situation. FQHE is the extrem situation that breaks the electron and SC model.<p>I have not heard any "crackpot" to distinguish between classical logic and mathematical one, because this is something only well studied people with background in logic and philosophy of science do. This was on of the hints that made me realize this guy is good, really good.<p>Science is always 80 years ahead of current discussion:
<a href="https://www.pnas.org/content/112/24/7426" rel="nofollow">https://www.pnas.org/content/112/24/7426</a><p>We are talking about interdisciplinary physics here, it's the top rank.<p>It took me a year to really understand Stoyans Model. Now I'm in a paradox free, consistent world view with the fewest possible assumptions you can possible make. For me galaxies and the the universe as a whole, is the logical and deterministic consequence from the lowest number of fundamental particles you can have. The world became a very complex, deterministic machine of utter beauty.<p>I understand the fine structure constant, 137, relativity (I only can smile on your implementation of it), time, Newtonian mass, magnetic fields, planetary fields (origin), gravity, electron orbit conditions, the periodic table in it's fullest (why), quasars, pulsars, globular clusters, periodicity of the redshift, lyman alpha forest, black holes, super-massive black holes (totally different object), photons, beta-particles, ... the list goes on.<p>I understand the internal discrepancies inside the standard model, I know for a fact, that most parts of it are in fact falsified.<p>If you bring up a error in the math equations or a logical error in the theory of his, I would be glad to discuss this in detail. So far, I have not found a problem and in fact, came to the conclusion that this is the first model I can remotely accept as true, because it is complex and not complicated.<p>Just some weeks ago, another confirmation from a different model with quite close values was presented at a physics conference I attended. His was ~10^27 N/m² and in BSM its 1.3 * 10^26 N/m² of Vacuum pressure, a hidden variable in the standard model.</p>

<p>With the fractional quantum hall effect, it should be clear at the latest, that neither the common electron nor the BCS superconductivity model can be true.<p>I follow Stoyan Sargs "Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory" model, which has a very different understand of SC and solves most problems in physics.<p>Due the fact that the electron is also quite different, the FQHE becomes easily explained.
The Electron is a open, complexly formed, 3 body object with internal oscillations. In a superconductor environment, the overall structure disintegrates and build a train of electron shells and positrons. Same happens under certain effects that "create positrons". According to BSM, you can't create positrons, only shoot them out of their electron shell.<p>Superconductivity is only a state of the vacuum in which the energy of the CL node is below a certain energy threshold, that sits between the parma and diamagnetic domains. Chapter 2, 3, 4 and 6 explain this in great detail. They are surely 200 pages together, so explaining the details enough for this to make sense is unfortunately outside the scope what a comment field can provide :)<p>If you wonder, the reaction of electron + positron creates a compound particle of electron + positron mass but neutral charge as well as photons. It's relative stable and quite hard to detect.</p>
