Cool project. And good luck. Genuinely good luck. What I have observed is that a project's popularity has almost zero correlation to the amount of effort behind it, or how well done it is. You just need to get lucky. Maybe one person n

I wonder if it is safer than a Pixel with Graphene. It is a completely different OS, of course, and many of the Graphene OS hardening features like isolating Google Apps, are not necessary in a phone that literally has no Google Apps, but G

OK, that is interesting. Separating infra from AI valuation. I can see what you mean though because stock prices are volatile and unpredictable but a datacenter will remain in place even if its owner goes bankrupt. However, I think the AI d

Awesome. I hope they do the same in Europe. Children should not be addicted to TikTok.

RSS is "simpler" from the perspective of no federation, but in a day and age where people own multiple phones, laptops, and/or computers, RSS sync becomes a real hassle, and Feedly is not exactly cheap. On the other hand, Mas

I have never personally experienced a need for a tool like this, but I think it is a really cool idea and an elegant execution to a very real problem. Best of luck!

I don't think it is and I think it is a good idea. Not every company needs this, and often, ensuring backwards compatibility is preferable. But I can see a lot of very good engineering behind this.

It says it is an operating system, but is it really? Does it have a GUI toolkit? Does it manage memory and storage? Does it have a network stack and a driver API?

I love this! More people should be writing their tiny CLI utilities from scratch to learn system internals. Good writeup.

The difference is now everyone can produce nation-state grade slop spending just a few dollars at OpenAI. But yes, you are right, I remember those black SEO pages, especially recipes, that would have what it seemed like thousands of recipes

I mean, at this point we are arguing semantics and speculating on future events. My opinion is that there's no bubble. Yours is that there is a bubble. That's fine, we will see probably sooner rather than later (I expect the bubbl

I would consider a "popping" event to be a dramatic one that sends unemployment to record highs, and regular people are panicking, and losing their savings or mortgages. The Bitcoin bubble, if anything, deflated. But I'd stil

It is a very dangerous slippery slope, and the "instant reward" type of mechanism built into these models has the risk of encouraging short-term thinking. But it is also nothing new. Technology has been wiring the human brain for
