those who don't learn Erlang/Elixir are bound to reinvent the Erlang VM and OTP model.

Bingo. AI is NOT making raw skill/talent obsolete, rather it’s actually making it more valuable. Deep technical knowledge now has even more leverage in the real world, not less, because you then have more “surfaces” to apply the use of

Because the alternative is death. Want to become non-unique? Let your body decompose back into the surrounding environment.

I’ve been telling people recently: get the fuck off cloud services, self-host your own servers, and learn how to do sysadmin/netadmin stuff like it’s 1990 because I assume all centralized cloud service providers will be infiltrated. AI

“Never impacts production data” is impossible to guarantee. Playing with real world data often has side effects outside of the database. For example if you store oauth tokens to external services in your DB (customer integrations) it’s easy

They're not really comparable because Pix is interbank while monobank in Ukraine is a single bank.

Not going to be any worse than the oncoming onslaught of AI-powered scam, fraud, and hacks that are enabled by a lack of legal consequences.

In the age of AI I think it’s only necessary and inevitable to implement some of kind of internet ID system to stop the massive onslaught of AI generated fraud, malicious hacking, and spam. If age verification is a Trojan horse to erase onl

Wow I've been struggling with deployment/CI on Claude/Codex/devcontainers for the last several weeks and this looks amazing. I'm trying to find a "universal" way to deploy on multiple cloud and baremetal p

This doesn’t solve hostile agents. This solves hostile or compromised inference providers. You really don’t want your secrets in the logs of a random AI provider through OpenRouter or even in Anthropic logs.

I’m beginning to challenge the assumption that datacenters are more efficient. I can get the same computing power out of a single Mac Mini 32 GB that I get from from an AWS virtual machine that costs hundreds of dollars per month. Even comp

I translate texts between Ukrainian, Russian and English dozens of times daily. The LLM translation is not only better, it's also refineable, you can chat with the AI to make changes to what you meant.

Some tasks don’t require SOTA models. For translating small texts I use Gemma 4 on my iPhone because it’s faster and better than Apple Translate or Google Translate and works offline. Also if you can break down certain tasks like JSON heali

The main problem with crypto is there is no universal need for it. The demand for crypto doesn’t keep increasing as compute gets cheaper. But the demand for AI inference is only growing, and making it cheaper would likely only increase dema

No it's not the same premise at all. Crypto doesn't do anything useful for legitimate businesses. AI inference is very useful for legitimate businesses, and so are residential IP proxies for scraping. And by definition, residentia

I'm not talking about Darkbloom specifically, but rather this business model in general. I'm sure a future version of Darkbloom could be P2P for better latency. Or their central operator nodes could be geo-balanced. Liability for

Not really. There are lots of people who have low income and low spending, but not low savings. Retired pensioners with savings. Young families who inherited from deceased parents/grandparents. Highly paid professionals on sabbatical.

I would say the chances of OpenAI itself getting hacked and your secrets in logs getting leaked are about the same or less as the chances of a randomly selected machine on a decentralized network being reverse-engineered by a determined hac

They already have an iPhone. They could save up or borrow for a Mac Mini if they had to. Some of those people I know who live on $200/month have $30k in the bank.

Who cares about AI privacy? Most people don’t. If you do, run locally.

As if you get privacy with the inference providers available today? I have more trust in a randomly selected machine on a decentralized network not being compromised than in a centralized provider like OpenAI pinky promising not to read you

by znnajdla 6mo ago
The numbers are obviously high, because if this takes off then the price for inference will also drop. But I still think it’s a solid economic model that benefits low income countries the most. In Ukraine, for example, I know people who liv
