I did want to point out that Matrix does do distributed eventually-consistent authorization, which is their key invention IMHO. (Rooms are distributed among the homeservers, none of which are privileged over the others. You could (and their long-term plan from back in the day) was to run a tiny little single-device homeserver on every device to achieve P2P.)

It's tricky, but a very cool algorithm! Several entities (including myself as a hobby project) are working in combining the Matrix eventually-consistent CRDT with MLS for encryption for a no-compromise distributed E2EE system. It's possible, but very hard, as you might imagine.

Edit: Here's one academic paper writing up the abstract algorithm behind Matrix https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3381991.3395399

Lobste.rs is very much still active, more than ever I think. They have a `vibecoding` tag that you can remove from your page, if you'd like.

This has been discussed before, and I believe the general consensus is that djb's objections don't make sense. The Key Material blog addresses this in a very good larger ML-KEM mythbusting post: https://keymaterial.net/2025/11/27/ml-kem-mythbusting/#:~:te...

I recently bought an X4, put crosspoint on it, and have been loving it. I've been reading so much more than before, just because it's always available on the back of my phone.

What do you mean? The HF checkpoint is linked from the blog post you sent: https://huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-Pro-FP4-DFlash

The article is talking about "Kernel" as in a low level piece of code to compute math, in this case extended attention for running LLMs on a GPU or accelerator, not as in the Linux Kernel.

Matthew Green talks about this in his blog on the subject: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/03/02/anonymou...

The two methods that seem feasible are making it hard to copy (putting it in the secure element in your phone, for example, which I don't love) or doing tokens that can only be used a limited number of times per day, like in : https://eprint.iacr.org/2006/454

As I posted at top level, they've already backed off, but even the linked version had a carve out for video games:

  (B) Does not include:
  ...
  (ii) A bot that is a feature of a video game and is limited to
  replies related to the video game that cannot discuss topics
  related to mental health, self-harm, or sexually explicit content, or
  maintain a dialogue on other topics unrelated to the video game

As some of the reddit comments point out, they've already backed off: https://www.wjhl.com/news/tennessee-backs-off-sweeping-artif...

Arguably, that's wrong - not because it's unsafe, but because it's not the best temperature for any part of the chicken I know of. I'm a big J. Kenji López-Alt and Serious Eats fan, and 165 is too hot for good chicken breast and too cool for good dark meat: https://www.seriouseats.com/chicken-thigh-temperature-techni...
