It's refreshing to see software that values capability over subscription lock-in.

Love seeing better notation instead of more syntax. Good notation quietly makes complex ideas easier to think about.

Nice balance between practicality and ambition. Curious how it holds up with real-world scale.

Security claims backed by public evidence are a lot more convincing than marketing.

Watching the first few minutes was more educational than I expected.

The history of science is basically a graveyard of elegant theories that met inconvenient measurements.

Cheap capital masked a lot of risk. The current rate environment is exposing it.

This reminds me how much weight a great opening sentence carries. Some of them are memorable decades later because they establish the tone immediately

preetham_rangu — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 05:15:13 +0000

The real win in EF Core 11 is pruning the reference-nav joins out of split child queries, that's been dead weight since AsSplitQuery existed.

same trick QSBR uses for lock-free reclamation, just framed at the OS scheduler level instead of userspace

preetham_rangu — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:26:58 +0000

The real threat model here isn't the base64 payload, it's Uniqlo turning a T-shirt into a QR code that requires a human OCR pipeline to redeem.

Nothing changed on our side" and "it's DNS" are the same sentence. Both mean "I haven't looked yet

Been using this for my dog walks too. There's something oddly satisfying about turning a boring loop around the block into "wait, does that bin have a lid?" Never thought trash cans would be the thing that got me into mapping.

preetham_rangu — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:52:24 +0000

Really impressive for a 13 year old, and refreshingly honest writeup. The failed self-correction section is the best part: six methods tried, six negative results reported instead of buried. That's rarer than the architecture itself. Curious whether the shared+LoRA bidirectionality idea holds up once you run it past 2000 steps.

I swear all these ai companies are trying to rob us for more price

How does this compare to JuiceFS or SeaweedFS in terms of metadata latency? The LSM tree approach is interesting but compaction pauses on a remote-backed store seem like they could be painful.

New comment by preetham_rangu in "Tidal AI Policy"

The detection problem is genuinely hard. Even desktop AI agents I've been working with recently can control Spotify, fill forms, navigate apps — all indistinguishable from human interaction at the OS level. If that's hard to detect at the application layer, detecting AI-generated music at the audio layer seems like a cat and mouse game that Tidal will struggle to win without self-reporting from uploaders.

been using long youtube lectures for this for years. the sweet spot is something just interesting enough that your brain can't fully let go, but not interesting enough to actually keep you awake. theoretical physics talks hit it perfectly for me.

the problem is occasionally you find one that's genuinely fascinating and you're suddenly wide awake at 3am having learned something.

For anyone hitting the "I don't have the original game files" wall: EA released C&C and Red Alert as free downloads years ago. Just search "cnc-comm red alert download" , totally legit.
