The thing with AI and why this IPO feels just "virtual reality" is that AI is migrating to home, as far as consumers are concerned. There's a limited time window to suck the value from proprietary technology.

OpenAI and Anthropic are in pretty much in same situation as Silicon Graphics was in the late 90s.

And it's uncomfortably short distance away, mostly at this point constrained by semiconductor market price, not "forces of the nature". I.e., we are in situation where SaaS based model of providing inference for customers is artificially maitained to be the best option for most of the end users.

This is why trillion evaluations absolutely are out of this world.

I'm doing all sorts of non-vibecoding sec contributions to keep vibecoders safe ;-) Or at least trying to.

I answered for the first time in my life to a bot:

https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/2242#issuecomment-4631187152

I do respect the team behind OpenCode. This tells more about code quality in AI industry than Anomaly per se but it has a well-crafted and flicker free TUI engine - the only instance of such in that industry. It is written in a non-scripting language (does not matter but it is Zig), and the boilerplate is in TypeScript.

Maybe I looked wrong but I think within 8 months on of the most profitable investment would have been to buy NVIDIA GPUs and resell them later :-)

Keeping this in mind tho.

Writing agent as AGNT is like messaging "we deliver slop from the get go" ;-) Super irritating.

More I've worked on this inference topic, more I've realized how archaic LLM technology is.

I really would have hard time to take any attitude for or against something that I cannot see "that important" or "speacial". It's like being opionated on bloom filter or something.

The core tech LLM is about end of its life anyway. The only thing I'm against is at most these one trillion evaluations of Anthropic and OpenAI. I'd divide that by 10. People must be out of their minds to participate such IPO. They spent way too much money and that money is never coming back.

I get why Microsoft and NVIDIA are besties now:

1. Microsoft has thrown regular Windows productivity users under the bus.
2. NIVIDIA has thrown gamers under the bus.

The software stack itself is like a precautioary divorce agreement signed by the legal teams of both companies.

And all that shoehorned into most expensive imaginary laptop hardware ever made, which the software stack renders completely useless.

Great success. Amazing progress. 🤦‍♀️🤦🤦‍♂️

There is two math theories that help to set a framework of constraints of the theoretical limits of computation, and I think both should still apply even with qubits (free to correct me if I'm wrong).

1. Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
2. Halting problem.

They bring me a piece of mind because I know where the frames of computation are located, and see through the fog we are at.

People are talking so much these days about leaving behind so here's two cents on that topic.

When thinking about 50s classics, I'd pick these at least over requirements engineering and waterfall process :-)

Latest trend is to frame the post like "critical to AI" it starts e.g., "Not everyone lives in the AI bubble ...", and right after that *drumroll* the AI PITCH :--)

Probably Claude 4.8 feature or something because this is becoming so common.

My fav thing in coding agents are agentic benchmarks. I even don't prompt. And the output goes where it belongs i.e., to /dev/null ;-)

Wine should be renamed as Windows :-) It's entirely possible given generic word.

where nvidia and microsoft are gonna get the chips? :-) one of the desktops had 768 GiB of RAM.

it would be like buying a house with the current prices ;-)

that said,there's some charm to it, old school SGI price tag it would be...

I'll use fscrypt for the first time in Puu OS. Migrating away from LUKS :-)

Security model of fscrypt is not great for everything but here it is a pretty good fit actually.

vLMM models are OFC in unecrypted XFS partition.

This is what I've ended up with when managing patches for two subsystems in a single repo after time has passed and a few (reasonable) complaints from Linus:

❯ git log --oneline mainline/master..
be5f7a96c705 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/for-next-tpm, origin/HEAD, for-next-tpm) tpm: tpm2-sessions: wait for async KPP completion in tpm_buf_append_salt
3253b2d6a105 tpm: tpm_tis: Add settle time for some TPMs
ad7d5669c730 tpm: tpm_tis: store entire did_vid
bca6affd1984 tpm_crb: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL during probe
5923548fee74 tpm: tpm_tis_spi: Use wait_woken() in wait_for_tmp_stat()
daaafcaed71f tpm: Initialize name_size_alg for non-NULL name in tpm_buf_append_name()
243622766158 tpm: restore timeout for key creation commands
bd4ea087cece tpm: svsm: constify tpm_chip_ops
c878751af7b3 (origin/for-next-keys, for-next-keys) keys/trusted_keys: mark 'migratable' as __ro_after_init
e41b301271e9 keys: use kmalloc_flex in user_preparse
5720aae49352 KEYS: trusted: Debugging as a feature
227ea2f88f71 KEYS: encrypted: Remove unnecessary selection of CRYPTO_RNG
d1cc4490172a KEYS: fix overflow in keyctl_pkey_params_get_2()

Nothing fancy. It's in PR order basically. And usually prioritizing keyring PR makes sense because of wider and platform agnostic exposure.

Anthropic published a silly block diagram and everyone is like "Anthropic just changed agentic workflow OMG".

WTF is going on.

It's a shame that I live in the first floo, cannot even jump of the balcony ;-)

I end this with Claude alike prose.

"It used to be only three blocks.

Now there are many."
