Maybe lunch money for you, but there are people in some parts of the world who live on $200/month. Like Ukraine.

One really good use case for me is good, fast, offline translation. Both Apple Translate and Google Translate are worse in quality than a decent LLM and don’t work well offline. Gemma 4 is surprisingly good and often faster than waiting for

How timely. I was just moving off Github to self-hosted docker registries.

In Ukraine I have visited SaaS company offices serving production traffic with an actual bunker like this. Physically underground.

But that’s not what VCs are doing. They’re not buying software that saves time. They’re betting on a teams ability to extract rent from a market through monopolistic practices like vendor lock-in. The most profitable software companies like

The US or Trump can’t switch off your chips or your networking equipment on a whim - and if they ever designed hardware that could do that, no one would buy such hardware as soon as that capability became known. Using cloud software is a mu

The problem is they’re pouring insane amounts of money into non-problems. I use Git every day. There’s no problem with Git. Real problems that people suffer with everyday like healthcare and housing and even defense are doing so pitifully a

I continue to be amazed at American capital allocation. $17M for an idea to improve Git? For a fraction of that money Ukrainian housewives build anti-drone air defence systems in their garage that protect their country. For that kind of mon

I do this at my homelab and it’s a really fun thing to do. Collect old laptops and install Linux or Tart for macOS and suddenly you have a fleet of computing power equivalent to paying thousands to AWS. Building reliability and failover is

All this talk about a tool that isn’t open source?

And this is also why all institutions rot over time. When the original experts and founders are gone, only the codified superficial knowledge remains. The result is bureaucracy coasting on the resources and reputation built by the original

Absolutely agree. And this is why America cannot simply bring outsourced industries like manufacturing back. Expertise is built through hard-won experience and there is no easy way to transfer or replicate it. And this is why the best forms

> The obvious way to do this is to just give the agent a real filesystem. Most harnesses solve this by spinning up an isolated sandbox and cloning the repo. We already use sandboxes for asynchronous background agents where latency is an

It’s far more difficult to replace a data center than to replace transformers. Ukraine’s electricity grid has been under attack for years and manages to replace and rebuild transformers and restore power within hours.

For the first time in history we are seeing multiple signals of USD losing its #1 position to EUR, all within the last year : 1. Euro-denominated interest rate derivatives (IRD) overtook US dollar-denominated contracts in the over-the-count

The high entropy string option led to lots of false positives. The LLM check seems to work fine with no complaints from real users.

Yes and I don’t claim to solve the problem completely. It’s an impossible to solve problem which BigTech wants you to pay mafia protection money to “solve”.

I absolutely refuse to use BigTech gatekeepers or useless CAPTCHAS (any sufficiently advanced bot can get around any CAPTCHA anyway). We solved this at our startup by running names through a simple LLM filter - if the name is gibberish like

+1 for RustDesk over Tailscale. It works even better than Screens for macOS.

Very few Americans realize the scale of the defeat that the US military is facing in this war. Loss of CSG capabilities as well as anti missile radars, refueling planes, AWACS and ground bases all over the Middle East means this is the wors

Who says they didn’t? Although not widely reported in mainstream US media, there are lots of claims online that US Navy ships were hit by missiles, including a clip from Trump himself. Why is the Ford and Lincoln so far away?

Is there a way to sync passkeys out of Apple Passwords / Keychain? I dread an iCloud lockout.

I don’t think central planning is the only factor. Ukraine is leading a massively heroic drone innovation effort with very good results. In 2026 there are internet blackouts in Russia to hide the social chaos created by 1000+ drone strikes

Commodities. Raw materials with which all goods and services are made. Coffee, sugar, wheat, pound of beef, gasoline. Also products which are supposed to be identical like a Big Mac. Purchasing power is hard to measure but it’s a question s

The US is defaulting on military orders to Europe and Germany just announced a 1 trillion euro rearmament plan. Europe is manufacturing big time. The Gulf states as of yesterday are now buying from Ukraine for fucks sake.

I have checked. It’s too early to tell but anyway relative price is not what matters. What matters is purchasing power. EUR purchasing power was better and improving compared to USD. And check out interest rate derivatives — the euro has ac
