That makes sense. Weaker target that happens to have funds. Extremely unethical, but crime never cared for that.

What does someone get out of DDOSing a project like this? What even is the motive

From the architecture spec doc:

> We believe that the Xen hypervisor architecture better suits the needs of our project. Xen hypervisor is very small comparing to Linux kernel, which makes it substantially easier to audit for security problems. Xen al- lows to move most of the “world-facing” code out of Dom0, including the I/O emulator, networking code and many drivers, leaving very slim interface between other VMs and Dom0. Xenʼs support for driver domain is crucial in Qubes OS architecture. KVM relies on the Linux kernel to provide isolation, e.g. for the I/O emulator process, which we believe is not as secure as Xenʼs isolation based on virtualization enforced by thin hypervisor. KVM also doesnʼt support driver domains.

The amount of roadblocks Google is putting up for GrapheneOS is just ridiculous. None of their decisions make any sense, from the delayed source patches upstream, to the embargos, attestation issues, etc. Google simply regrets android being open source.

> D2 thus far has been a product of handcrafted code. That era is over. This next phase of D2 will be driven by AI. By this, I mean that all of my contributions will use AI.

This is an interesting twist. While I get the rationale, I remain a bit concerned. I do hope the project remains successful, d2 is great!

Test out Fossil SCM, it depends on SQLite and is also written in c89.

While I see the utility of partial file commits, I think that it promotes committing untested code. Fossil scm doesn’t have an equivalent feature because of this very issue.

I’m the exact same way. $15 on openrouter lasted me so long it would’ve got me fired at FAANG. Despite this, my number of commits is dramatically higher. Small, beautifully scoped changes is just good software development, and good for the wallet as well.

I think the issue is that no one is content with incremental progress. We all know one shots are mostly possible, so the age of the personal project is kind of over. There’s no motive to invest dozens of hours getting a working prototype when Claude can give you something right now. So you can’t make small changes until you have that codebase in place already. You’re forced to make sweeping changes if you use AI from the beginning. And it’s not like it matters, there’s no personal attachment to any one part of the code, it’s not even seen!

The reason Claude code is so popular is because it’s really good at taking super vague human prose “Claude build me a million dollar SaaS”-type prompts and spitting out thousands of lines of code which cover tons of surface-level edge cases, build in tons of functionality, etc

The smaller/open models are less good at that. But that’s not how software development is done. You don’t prompt a whole app and be done with it. If you’re using it as an aid to traditional software dev, iterating on small, targeted functions, GLM works as good if not better than Claude. Anthropic expects low quality prompts. If you rubber duck GLM, you get absolutely pristine output in most cases.

Agreed. I’ve always disliked having anything to do with gaming on my primary OS, always choosing to compartmentalize that stuff away from anything sensitive. The only exception is DRM free standalone games like Factorio, which has pretty safe mods compared to something like Minecraft.
