We had an internal bear metal implementation already. L4 was just pushed as the “hotness”, and ironically as a way to get around the linux GPL issues at the time. I don’t want to sound to critical. L4 is actually easier to build drivers for

Yep! If I recall correctly we had to blow away the entire cache on every system call because the line invalidate was so slow.

Userspace would render its local window and send the invalidated regions to the kernel. The problem was two fold. L4 ipc was just slower then a swi, and l4 driver model would lock the page table for every region instead of just checking eve

4% is meaningless measurement for an OS kernel. I worked with l4 and we had to throw it out because the microcernel overhead had a 2x performance hit on frames per second for animations on a 400mhz arm9. Are you going to see a 2x hit for di

Reg d or s is still private. But there are limits to number of investors.

Maybe that investor shouldn’t invest in bitcoin or Proof of Work based chains. These systems are nothing like PayPal and Venmo and investing in ignorance is just asking for losses.

Yes. The trust is not in the code, it’s in the hash power.

They should open it to the public with a reg d/s. I would love to be able to invest into SpaceX.

Mobile networks are a lot easier to setup than banks. You don’t need to trust a mobile phone. It wont run away with your money.

I don’t know since I am not the CEO or even in the industry. Maybe open source IP model would fail to get critical mass. Maybe the best path forward is to get Burger King as an investor. If they maximize profits while still being committed

That’s not really true. They would need change their model to meat based burgers after they gain market share for their mission to be BS. Profit has nothing to do with it. What you are proposing would prevent them from building a healthy co

Crypto currencies have captured 100b+ in value trying to solve those problems. Vast majority of the code is open source as well.

I hope that is as unbelievable as designing the phone system on the station to use “9011” to call ground control while allowing “9911” to route to some local terrestrial emergency dispatcher. Did they place 9 and 0 next to each other as wel

My point exactly. Without delegation the only way to pool capital is to give up ownership.

The women’s room on the station is marked W and the men’s room is marked M, and the doors are round.

Just my personal opinion, but designing a system that doesn’t allow for secure pooling will only enable insecure pooling. So making the choice to force people to share private keys as the only way to delegate capital will make the overall

Theft of what exactly? Each fork is as valid as any other fork, the challenge is in agreement.

World spends about $2t on moving money around. The fee that you pay to transfer wealth on ethereum isnt compeating with AWS, it’s compeating with the banks computer that moves a few digits around when you make a transfer.

Apache 2.0 is pretty good. If the licensee sues for any patent infringement they loose all Apache 2.0 licenses in that product. But it is hard to defend against trolls that are not shipping any code themselves.

With regard to equity, I wouldn’t join a startup unless it’s cheap for me to buy the options. If you get your cliff, and it costs 50k to buy your options, you are sol. You options are to throw away your equity, or be stuck at a shitty job

What I want in a systems language is heap allocations that are typed. A Monad basically to wrap the heap context.

From what I can tell they are just using ethereum blocks as a way to keep track of time.

I designed Solana! I would love some feedback, especially from anyone working on VDFs.
