At this point, everything I used in Arc is in Dia.

As much as I dislike the guardrails, they are absolutely irrelevant to this task, and you will not get blocked.

Hamilton invented the idea of error handling in software, and that error handling in the Apollo computer is why Buzz Aldrin was able to handle the error 1201/1202 in the minutes before the Eagle landed on the moon, instead of having to abort the mission.

That’s absolutely not true. Private equity regularly buys small businesses, D2C businesses, retail businesses, failing businesses, software businesses…

I was actually referencing repeated exploitation by leaking TheHole, which actually has no particular reason it needs to be sensitive.

Have you attempted to kidnap the DA during a prisoner transfer on Lower Wacker, only to be thwarted by a vigilante? If not, I question your Chicago bona fides.

In fact, the default behavior in every web browser right now is to use a hybrid.

The cryptographers in charge of major web browsers, TLS libraries, and programming language standard libraries do not stand by DJB’s points.

RSA is asymmetric crypto. This article is about symmetric cryptography. I expect LLMs will advance state of the art in factoring algorithms, considerably.

There are only three programs where memory safety matters: HTTP server, browsers, and operating systems. In practice, really just browsers and operating systems. Memory safety schemes that don't work for those systems are primarily cosplaying if their goal is safety.

The pricelist was a marketing stunt.

While the result is impressive, this blog post is extremely disappointing.

- It does not show an example of the new best solution, nor explain why they couldn't show an example (e.g. if the proof was not constructive)

- It does not even explain the previous best solution. The diagram of the rescaled unit grid doesn't indicate what the "points" are beyond the normal non-scaled unit grid. I have no idea what to take away from it.

- It's description of the new proof just cites some terms of art with no effort made to actually explain the result.

If this post were not on the OpenAI blog, I would assume it was slop. I understand advanced pure mathematics is complicated, but it is entirely possible to explain complicated topics to non-experts.

There's something ironic about vibe-coding an anti-YC site. They're why OpenAI exists!

The Internet in 1999 was not good at all. Browsers barely worked, computers crashed constantly, the ability to actually search for useful things was limited, and many things we take for granted as being online (news, people, documentation) were not.

The mid-to-late 2000s are perhaps closer to what the author is looking for.

I dunno, they'll let anybody get on the Internet and start a podcast.
