I’m working on https://atomictessellator.com alone, and it glorious. No need to get consensus for large refactors. experimenting with new simulation algorithms? No need to get buy in. Spend 2 days on testing new neural topology?

We were monitoring 18.5 million torrents, over 292 million IP addresses, it took a Cassandra cluster of 18 nodes just to store this information. It was writing 18,000 writes a second, 24/7. This information was not pulled off pirate s

I used to work at a BitTorrent monitoring company, “often used for piracy” is a very favourable explanation. 99.9999% of torrent activity is piracy. My guess is that’s the reason.

If you're undisciplined with money it will suck. I spend less than 20% of what I earn, and if I went up to 600k then it would be a smaller percentage. Not everyone follows the hedonistic treadmill and does that stupid thing of increasi

This makes the assumption that “raw intelligence” is all that’s required to push at the edge of “hardest fields” This is simply not true. Some fields require learning 10-20 years of domain knowledge before one can push at the edge. Another

Yea I think the main, major problem with no-code tools is that they are not as composable as real coding. How that manifests is in a “difficulty cliff” - everything is very easy until that one thing that you absolutely need - it’s impossibl

Actual LOL Have you ever tried to fight spam at scale? It’s trivial to block the 50% of obvious spam accounts, but we are at the stage of humanity where the activity of very dumb humans and the activity of very clever bots, EASILY overlap.

While it’s true that saying the general trend over the last 15,000 years has been upward, it’s a poor strategy to define micro-behaviour of 5,10,40 years (short, medium, long term financial horizons of a human lifespan) against such an enor
