What if you could group multiple of them. Long queries run on the group that’s commonly doing those. Shorter queries que faster because they’ll execute faster.

Will kids raised on it not know anything different? Seems a path to reduce computer literacy. Then again, being blocked from doing something I wanted is what lead me to find ways around said block. But I already had unrestricted access to the system to bend it to my will. Seems like these kinds of systems won’t allow for the user to learn how to works at all. It’s a mystery box.

Because the early adopters are the nerds that will discover how to exploit it, the popularity will make others want to use it, and the normies will take the easy route it gives them since self hosting is hard for them.

Different groups.

New comment by taraindara in "A way to do an open and permissionless mesh network"

taraindara — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 06:09:46 +0000

The best way it works is if you have trust with just a few people, and your network availability grows as people connect to more people.

Could even start as a virtual private network of sorts.

I have trust with my friend A. They add. Friend B, who I can only see because I know A. If we have a need to talk to each other, then we can proxy through A.

Don’t know exactly how this scales… it becomes a tor network of sorts. But you actually know the peers chaining your requests together to some degree. You get a bad request, you respond that you don’t want communication with that peer anymore. The message hops back through the chain and each peer decides to drop the route for you.

Each peer has their own rate limits, preventing certain floods from happening. One bad actor floods out from many locations, eventually it all connects back toy eh bad actor. Don’t need a vpn on this network, as you’re already tunneling around through others.

How to handle bot nets would be interesting. Basically as nodes detect bad traffic eventually the word gets around to put those nodes into a high risk status. Owners of those nodes would be able to see they’re being restricted. It’s up to them to stop the bad traffic from coming from their own devices.

This idea is still forming…

Imagine someone quietly developing, and then suddenly releasing a modern chip with this kind of design in mind. They’d get a lot of publicity just for being different. And the process would be their own, so if anyone likes it, or there turns out to be any benefits to the design, it would be a while until someone replicates it.

Depends on which part we’re betting on survive the bubble pop. There’s a lot of capability being dismissed in low power inference while the large players push they need more money for large inference. After the pop people will start realizing how much benefit we can get without needing to create a Dyson sphere. More power is needed for continued major progress, but little power is needed for what’s going to stabilize as the normal use 95% of people need. Businesses will be users of the pricey inferences.

Only time will tell how things really play out. But these are my predictions as of today.

If the graphics aren’t adding to the fun and freshness of the game, nearly. Rewatching old movies over seeing new ones is already a trend. Video games are a ripe genre for this already.

I’m thinking more procedural generation of assets. If done efficiently enough, a game could generate its assets on the fly, and plan for future areas of exploration. It doesn’t have to be rerendered every time the player moves around. Just once, then it’s cached until it’s not needed anymore.

taraindara — Sat, 11 Oct 2025 18:12:52 +0000

I’ve got a cd player and burner, record player may be more niche. But I’m all for it, and I’ve been working on gathering my music locally again. I’ve had other songs disappear from my cloud playlists for reasons I can’t find answers to. I’d rather be able to buy it digitally, honestly. but to support artists I like I’ll do what I can, and most of them still make cds or records of their new albums. EDM and other electronic music has been harder, especially since many of these djs release more singles than they do full albums.

It is harder than it was 20 years ago for sure. But not totally gone yet! And I do feel like it’s making a slow come back in some ways.

I used to buy movies before I ripped them too. But now physical copies of those are becoming harder to get.

People must choose to avoid it. I’m currently on this path. I prefer to use web versions of apps I need access too. If there is no web version, it’s most likely a service I don’t need anyway. My phone is slowly turning back into just a phone with a web browser.

taraindara — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 20:49:11 +0000

I still have streaming services, mostly because my family uses them. I’m slowly getting back into the self hosted ways. But it’s also pushing me to just stop watching altogether. I’m finding better ways to spend my time than in front of a tv. Or rather, I guess I’m spending it more behind a computer screen. Haha

> Tesla tweeted about the video, saying, “This is fake – that’s not our screen. Tesla does NOT disable vehicles remotely.”

I think the “does not” stands out to me more than “can not”. I’d rather keep my dumb car knowing it can’t be disabled remotely at all without something like an emp.

I’ll add to this, no politician is on your side unless it means getting your vote to keep them in power. It’s hard to be an actual good person and get too far up in politics, especially in today’s environment.

So, yes, I believe they both want tracking to exist, because they both benefit massively from it.

taraindara — Sun, 03 Aug 2025 22:19:37 +0000

If local storage becomes too cheap, how can companies push their cloud storage subscriptions? Imho it’s sad that ssds haven’t gotten much bigger. A spinning disk can now house dozens of tb. If 8tb can fit on an m.2, it could feasibly fit even more into an SSD form factor. Not as fast as nvme, but still faster and somewhat more resilient than hdds. I have a strong desire for ssds like this… but my only option is super expensive u.2, and I don’t need it to be that crazy fast. Just faster and smaller than hdd would suffice

The hard part is these workers are doing the job to survive life. Without the job, the unsure future is terrifying.

I’m all for taking action. I just don’t know what action best suits my needs, other than finding a new job or starting my own business and hoping I don’t become one of the greedy ones too.
