Paint on a borrowed canvas and it's hard to complain when they take your life from you. Find the real and fuck all this shit. I turn 40 in a month. I've been following this religion since I was 15. It served me better than most of my peers really but I was never accepted into the pantheon of "in group" either. I suck at programming but I'm almost definitely better than you.

Yeah man. I would say don't do what I did, but that's probably not you. You'll probably have 5 jobs. The advice here that is looking backwards is fucking useless stupid bullshit. This is a tire fire covered in an accidental sewer dump from a Dave Mathews Band tour bus.

Work isn't a search for capital it is sometimes solo but usually a collaborative search for a truth that sums one and one to make three.

Whatever. Yeah, I'm going to support those archiving efforts and lately I make a lot of effort to be as unprofessional as I can be on Hacker News. Like say words like fuck and balls and dick hole and shit. Seriously. The cooling effect and hive mind isn't about liberals or red pill or whatever. The real shit is that they tricked us into a JS library treadmill.

A world without infinite capital can't keep the treadmill running. YC is part of it. All of y'all scope out my fully animated streaming point cloud composite captures of my fucking nuts. This forum and the rest. Quarterly SV chasing the dragon. Yeah man. FUCK. I wasted so much time with this garbage.

Anyone who reads this. I'm nuts ignore me. All this is dumb. Just keep looking for a new job with someone who will pay you well and definitely respects you and your attention... and when you look back at the best effort in your life and you see NOTHING of what you ever created standing up because all they did was steal from you.... fucking fuck this.

Protocols not platforms y'all. The game changed. Let them make money making nonsense. Cut through bullshit. Kill your masters. Host it yourself.

A long time ago I was a part time overnight radio engineer for a faith based radio operation in the Portland, Or area. Literally the only reason they needed a person like me to be there was because sundown happens at a slightly different time every night and someone has to manually lower the power of the AM antenna and log that they did it and when they did it at sundown. If an AM antenna is broadcasting at full power on the dark side of the earth it reflects all the way around and causes very interesting chaos. I frequently muse about AM and the solar wavefront and how it could be used as a lens. No one cares. lol.

They had one kind of cool old guy that paid to run a late night AM/FM radio show, real theater of the mind shit. It was cool to run his show. Brother Jacob. I'm not religious or anything. But 100% of why they paid me $15/hr 3 days a week to show up and overnight be the ONLY person in the building managing six radio stations was about AM and it's insane power.

I really mean it when I say this is one of the best videos I've ever seen. There is something so fundamental on display here and I love it.

That for sure doesn't mean people don't want to collaboratively work in person with humans they like towards a goal that they can all agree on. That has been a thing and always will be. Free money created a lot of vampires who malinvested and now they are whining about how they should be in charge.

Lately I think a lot about what it means that every day of my life since post puberty I've been making computers do illusions. Tricks are something blah blah blah. What is the difference between digital goods and making someone a hammer or chair. The infinite reproducibility. The MBA class was so well heeled by all this free money they assumed that the tickets they collected to go redeem at the prize bank were reality and they are and they can redeem them.

Most of the folks that make the big technical pushes are in a minority, but it's not because the rest of the wash can't. The rest of the wash is given busy work to not compete. It's wild seeing people on LinkedIn getting screwed in the layoffs complimenting the people that wrecked em like that's the only meal.

Foster local, atomized, productive communities. Screw the silos. It's now or never and now was really a while ago.

I really really think if that's isn't already happening it should. The conversations on that platform are our cultural heritage and this scumbag shit can suck my fucking dick. Die in a fire quarterly capital sleep under a painting of a lion dickwheels. Gut me for my past again. I dare you.

I really haven't put that idea out aside from to my partner I just realized. I'm glad you find it compelling. I think a thing that I like about it is that the same thing we want for children, inspection into it's contents and providence or training from scratch or amalgamating trusted models or agents, we're always going to want to know and have for ourselves too.

I think when I wrote this article fairly drunk and manic and was like "I should try medium.com" during the last US insurrection impeachment hearings... I dunno, scroll down to the bottom where I talk about choose your own adventure books if you want to skip my opening wanky prose. Eh, yeah. I think it's a fun tough read. I think the reason I got to the conclusion is directly related to why this is important for protection of everyone. But I think when I wrote that is when the model and interface pattern we need for that thing popped into my head and it grew. It's nice that it could easily be org-mode compatible. I'm pretty much there with my data, training, and meshvpn/mTLS cluster of clusters that is cool with talking to your cluster. But yeah, parents want the same things but they also wanna run whacky AIs and shit that can connect to the web. Keep the kids air gapped and build close networks of people to share tools with that you can audit. I think that's just "the pattern" that should emerge.

I don't claim to have invented it, but if it turns out I did I guess I'm gonna call them "Media Prophylactic Agents". I wanted to come up with something funny or an neat acronym, but I think that's just what they are called.

He's not involved with Comma much anymore and he's 100% right that Nvidia hasn't won the race yet.

I worked at Nvidia on RAPIDS. From what I understand, they've gotten better but it's still a very traditional MS style company. CUDA is amazing and is something akin to x86 with it's ubiquity. It's the fastest and best to work with but is an albatross and it's being used to accelerate the development of it's replacements. I feel his pain with this AMD stuff. I bailed on them in 2018. They do not have the ability to ship real compute tooling.

Also the myriad of ways we can now bridge to the browser with WebGPU and WebASM and Vulkan.... and FPGAs and next year photonic computing is going to start trickling in and then it's going to become. a flood. I think there are two fabs in the US. I plan to ship some test designs to SkyWater in August. With the end of globalization, photonics are going to be where we move quick.

I like Geohot. I really enjoyed his punk ass spirit as a young guy and I think he's grown up to being a decent example of how to be a tech public figure. His soundcloud is dope. Not only does it have some good songs but a few of them are about valley inside baseball that has not ever been reported anywhere but his music.
