As I understand it- you can use free community provided relays, self-host your own, or pay for their managed services with an SLA and monitoring built in

Having spent a while trying to understand it, I believe the keys are serving a dual purpose as an encryption key and as a stable identifier along the lines of a session cookie that might be used for a WebRTC video call. Here's my summa

I don’t understand the vision in the blog post, but I’m very excited to try out the Arcan-net as described in http://www.divergent-desktop.org/blog/2026/01/26/a12web/

I think the idea is the google is the bot

They get blocked by Recaptcha, I think. I’m not talking about the network itself but the servers on the other end. I guess my point is that while Google is definitely malicious, I don’t think every site using recaptcha is and if we expect

I love the vision, but I do wonder how the parallel internet will deal with DDoS levels of bot traffic. I hear ‘web of trust’ pretty often and I like the idea but that’s not anonymous or accessible either

Delivering mail is meaningful for sure! So is teaching, people want to do these things and sometimes it lines up that there’s a market for it too. The premium is that stuff like my job where I’m fiddling on Azure is to the benefit of no one

The ‘little incentive’ that it you don’t do it you starve to death. There’s tons of work being done because it feels meaningful, later today I’m cooking a meal for a potluck, etc. but if you want your Job to be meaningful that comes at a hu

I don’t think being anti-capitalist necessitates being anti “perform a skilled role or responsibility that's useful for your tribe”. To me, that’s the big benefit- under capitalism you’re not working for your tribe, you’re working for

In my experience games crash a lot less often than the windows file explorer I feel like we give what’s some pretty impressive engineering short shrift because it’s just for entertainment

Not to stand up for Claude Code in any way, I don’t like the company or use the product. This is just a related tangent- one of my favorite software projects, Arcan, is built on the idea that there’s a lot of similarities between Game Engin

Why do you think they’re jealous of future fraudsters? But like genuinely, this sort of take confuses me so much. It’s like, if someone made fun of Putin and the consensus was that they’re just jealous they don’t have a country of their own

Yeah I’m with you. Hate to assume such things but with how much AI spam is out there on programmer blogs these days I kinda just give up reading the blog post once something becomes confusing. Most of the time there’s not any insight to be

Maybe if most people would agree the corporation is big and bad and should have penalties, it’s more democratic to go with that decision that the decision nine unelected philosopher kings come up with.

Because it’s a lot of fluff to convey things in a way that’s not very accurate.

I like the visualization, but I don’t understand the grid quantization. If every point is on the unit circle aren’t all the center grid cords unused?

I think it is though- “ TurboQuant, QJL, and PolarQuant are more than just practical engineering solutions; they’re fundamental algorithmic contributions backed by strong theoretical proofs. These methods don't just work well in real-w

They’re pointing out that if the jar was _filled_ with sand, then of course you can’t fit any rocks in because it’s full. It’s cute but misunderstands the original metaphor I think.
