One vision for AI alignment is a sort of reverse Pandora’s box, where we take all the good things in the world and try to compress them into a single point

Great opinionated, mathematically sophisticated rundown of the "unknown unknowns" that could hide fatal flaws in post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, from Sophie Schmieg. My dumb take-away: stateless (*STATELESS*) hash-based digsigs are the safest.

Just pushed 0.3.1 alpha of #foxing ; for one-shot use cases it appears to work pretty well and this release integrates blake3 for signature checks for fast resync. I've been testing with ~256GB non synthetic data. I would cautiously say it's someone useable for one-shot use cases now. Over the […]

honestly its a fucking stellar bit of engineering work that atproto enables stuff like this. for you is up to like 10x this number of users and its still running on a desktop machine!
Right now For You serves ~5K daily users and 100K feed loads per day (1-2 QPS).
The feed runs on my desktop - AMD Ryzen 7900, 96GB RAM. I load tested in the past and it should be able to handle 60 feed loads per second (QPS). So there is ~30x room to grow on the current hardware.

"I can't believe a third-party did it better than Bsky" is the wrong take bc that's the whole point of Bsky and ATProto.
More of this. Build better than what's been built.

the success of the user-created For You feed while the official Discover feed flops is actually a pretty major win for Bluesky — it literally is the embodiment of their goal to decentralize feed generation and give users more control/autonomy

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Wtf. I just carefully read this entire interview with Frances Allen, only to find out at the end that it wasn’t really an interview with her, but was AI generated. “Vox Meditantis” and “Bob Lynn” have lied to me and I will not read their words again.

All I want for Christmas is 5-level page tables in all CPUs and operating systems. Intel chips and Linux have already long since standardized on it. And there’s something I could do with it that is cool, but then my thing wouldn’t work on Apple. 😭
