DENVER, CO – October 22, 2025 – Crusoe, the industry’s first vertically integrated AI infrastructure provider, today announced a groundbreaking partnership with Starcloud, the first company to build AI data centers in space, to become the first public cloud provider to run workloads in outer space. Under this agreement, Crusoe will deploy Crusoe Cloud on a Starcloud satellite scheduled to launch in late 2026. Crusoe plans to offer limited GPU capacity from space by early 2027, pioneering a new paradigm for AI factories.

I meant Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert. The joke is just that they have similar names, and Adams does a lot of political/topical commentary in both his comics and podcast but isn't a good source since a lot of his work is comedy focused.

I am unaware of any comics Aaronson made and I don't blame him for anything he did make or was loosely associated with. It is incredible to the extend people are willing to go to claim people are crazy though, both in regards to Adams and Aaronson.

It's really not even primarily the privately-held corporations that are the problem. Some family business, even if it's big, is more likely to care about its reputation because that's their family's company and it's still going to be their family's company in 50 years or more.

Whereas you get publicly-traded companies and the primary shareholders are investment funds, whose managers get bonuses based on short-term results and who may not be in the same job or having the fund hold the same companies in as little as a year from now. So their incentive is to have companies squeeze customers for short-term gains and then choose the right time to pawn the shares off on some bag holders who see strong recent numbers and don't realize what that strategy does to the company's long-term prospects.

I think everyone intuitively understands this too. If you spend the next 3 months sitting in your boring office job that you've done 1000 days before, those 3 months may disappear entirely from your memory. Compared to taking the next 3 months and traveling to some strange land far away from home, and I bet those 3 months will stick out in your mind until your dying days.

We need better server support first.

I’ve got a friend who’s been pitching me on building a new email client for years. “I’ll do it if we exclusively use JMAP.” “okay does that include Gmail and Apple/iCloud accounts?” “Nope.”

I could sort of see dual-supporting Gmail's proprietary API and JMAP, but unless the #2-5 competitors support it… what’s the point? (sorry to put on the pessimism hat)

HP lol, yeah sure. I wouldn't touch anything HP with 100m long pole.

I imagine soon they could implement something like this...

"Robot error, you've reached wear & tear limit on your left wheel: 1 mile. Please buy a new wheel from HP shop, Price: $2999"

"Robot error, looks like your new wheel is not compatible with your old right wheel. Please buy a new right wheel..."

"Robot error, you've reached recharge limit of 50 cycles, on your internal robot battery..."

Thanks. As a beginner guitarist just starting to get into ear-training, that all sounds like good advice. However, I’m curious as to what you mean by “Put on a loop”?

I also looked up Transcribe! and see that they have a Linux installer (32-bit in addition to the 64-bit!) so I must try it out: https://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/download.html

Does revolution mean to go round and round and round and round about finding yet another a cure for cancer.

So desperate to find another use for the failed, experimental non vaccine.

It does annoy me when the covid jabs are still called Vaccines.

Covid-19 mRNA vaccines are not fucking vaccines.

You have to have a new one every year, so they do not ptotect you for life.

Real vaccines protect you for life

they will soon have mRNA in bog roll so you can wipe your arse and feel safe and protected.

They're spinning up their own advertising platform; chatgpt is a coherent contender to google's search bar, over a long enough time span if they can maintain user engagement numbers, it seems plausible that they could secure half of google's ad revenue. Spinning up a browser is not cheap but it certainly lines up with their actions of spinning up a perpetual advertising machine via chatgpt to fund other things. Which might include AGI if/when that happens.

>a company that internally believes it's actually close to unlocking super-intelligence

I am not sure if this is still true, they started backing off from this line of reasoning summer of 2024 and haven't returned to it.

Cont3xt.dev is what every threat intelligence platform should be: brutally efficient. As a security analyst, I've wasted countless hours juggling between VirusTotal, Shodan, and passive DNS tools. This platform finally brings everything together in one clean interface The relationship mapping is genuinely useful - not just visual fluff. I can trace an IP to domains, then to certificates and back to other IPs in seconds. The automated enrichment saves me 10-15 minutes per investigation My only complaint? I wish I'd found this tool years earlier. It's become as essential as my password manager. Simple, focused, and actually delivers on its promise without the enterprise bloat

Obviously this is the best-case, hyper-optimized scenario and we were careful not to inflate the numbers.

The machine running SourceFS was a c4d-standard-16, and if I remember correctly, the results were very similar on an equivalent 8-vCPU setup.

As mentioned in the blog post, the results were 51 seconds for a full Android 16 checkout (repo init + repo sync) and ~15 minutes for a clean build (make) of the same codebase. Note that this run was mostly replay - over 99 % of the build steps were served from cache.

I have a gut feeling sycophancy would become a huge problem if I were ever to ask any AI assistant with even a vague idea of my political opinions to start summarizing news stories. If AIs twist other things around to give glowing responses to their users I'm almost certain they'll resort to giving a "spin" to news stories they think is in line with what the user wants to hear. Everyone will get a bespoke biased cable news station in the future!

it was not smart-capable. I was very lucky that the thermostat was in the fridge itself, above the compartments. There I removed the old analog control and had enough space to fit a USB power supply to the cables which were there connected to the now-removed analog control. I was lucky. The sent data gets stored in InfluxDB. So with Grafana it allows me to see when I opened it, because the temperature rises immediately.

My opinion after using go professionally for ~2 years and repeatedly running into gotchas such as https://go.dev/blog/loopvar-preview is that it's just not a good language.

A lot of people praise it for it's "simplicity" and "explicitness" but frankly, even just figuring out whether something is being passed by reference or value is often complicated. If you're writing code where you never care about that, sure. But for any real project it's not actually better or simpler than C++ or Python.
by apizon | 2025-10-22 20:57:01+00:00
Technically the framework I'm using (flutter) is cross platform so I guess it could be possible but I'm affraid a few of the libs I use such as the ones for the audio are not and either way it would still need some adaptation to work well.

Not entirely impossible that I do it in the future but clearly not at the top of my list for the moment sorry!

This post is frankly one of the most convoluted discussions of SSA I've read. There's lots of info there, but I'd frankly suggest going back and look at a paper on implementing it. I think I first came across SSA in a paper adding it to Wirths Oberon compiler, and it was much more accessible.

Edit: It was this paper by Brandis and Mössenböck: https://share.google/QNoV9G8yMBWQJqC82

If you assume everyone else is wrong from the start, then you won't like the comments, sure.

And what the hell are you calling a gish gallop? They wrote four sentences explaining a single simple argument. If you design a way to make qubits emulate particle interactions, that's a useful tool, but it's not what people normally think of as a "computer".

And whatever you're saying about anyone claiming "all the science has it wrong" is an argument that only exists inside your own head.

> I also don’t mean to imply that everyone at Google is using jj, but the contingent feels significant to me, given how hard it is to introduce a new VCS inside a company of that size.

I don't mean to imply that Google is fickle, but anything besides Google's perforce fork is deprecated every few years. We used to have a proper git wrapper, then mercurial+extensions, now jj is supposed to replace the mercurial thing, all in 7-ish years?

I just added strips of fake fur to the straps my boring old helmet to diffuse the wind noise the same way a "dead cat" cover on a microphone does. They look a bit like muttonchops which is a bonus as far as I am concerned. I use wraparound bone conduction headphones that don't block my ears. I would be afraid of losing an expensive earbud.
by jauntywundrkind | 2025-10-22 20:58:55+00:00
One thing I don't see mentioned either in the blog or in the comments here is the camera/sensor system. It's such a necessary part of the magic, for these things to work! It's such a combined effort of sensors, processing power, and software!

Reminder that Vision Pro has a dedicated R1 chip, with a blistering 256GB/s memory (with the actual cpu "only" having 153GB/s)! That's as much as the quad-channel memory LPDDR5x Strix Halo!

It'll be interesting to see how Samsung & then others fair at this, and over time to see how much Google, Qualcomm or other platform providers help versus leave device makers to fend for themselves at sensor fusion and other ultra realtime tasks here. Whether the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 here can do enough, and whether the software can make decent use of that hardware is so TBD for this new ecosystem. It's not super super clear who is leading the charge to make it all slick and smooth. My default assumption is Qualcomm likely holds a big chunk of the stack, and sole-proprietorship of the stack like that seems like a real threat to long-term viability of XR as a technology: like the Valve Steam Deck so strongly exhibited, it's only through intense cross-stack ownership and close collaboration (in the Linux kernel in this case) that we see genuinely good products emerge.

Sensors, from Samsung's specs page:

Two High-resolution Pass-through cameras Six World-facing tracking cameras Four Eye-tracking Cameras Five Inertial Measurement Units(IMUs) [commentary: whoaaa, thats a lot] One Depth sensor One Flicker sensor

As an aside, this sort of makes me want a device that just does eye tracking. That there are four eye tracking cameras here seems wild! I've mostly seem some pretty chill examples of webcam based tracking; it'd be neat to see what kind of user interface we could build if we really could see where people are looking.

Also maybe worth reviewing what Android ARCore offers, as this defines so much of what we get here. I'd love to see more depth-based capture systems about in general: not just on the XR displays but on regular devices too! To build a better library of depth-having media. Apple's had LiDAR since iPhone 12 Pro (2020)! There's some ToF on Android phones but close to zero lidar. We also see tons of big fancy dual-sensor XR cameras out there, but AFAIK nothing for phones! Just adding a second stereoscoping camera on the back of phones would be so obvious, & do so much to help the XR world! It feels like XR products are being left to stand all on their own with no help from the rest of the mobile device ecosystem, and it feels so obvious & unworkable.

I follow a similar but more terse pattern. I prepend them all with a comma, and I have yet to find any collisions. If you're using bash (and I assume posix sh as well), the comma character has no special meaning, so this is quite a nice use for it. I agree that it's nice to type ",<tab>" and see all my custom scripts appear.
by wayfwdmachine | 2025-10-22 20:59:29+00:00
You know that this is bullshit right? We can all, regardless of our age, differentiate between meaningful and meaningless work. The fact that we need money to fulfil our obligations to our family, the bank or whatever it might be is completely separate from that. We can do meaningless jobs if we have to at any age. This does not make them meaningful. If a person, at any age, can choose between a meaningless and meaningful job - which do you think they would take?

If they have to choose between a meaningless job and starvation?

Cool. Now grow up and do some meaningful with your time. And so should I.
by serbancon | 2025-10-22 20:59:42+00:00
Yes, you are correct - SourceFS also caches and replays build steps in a generic way. It works surprisingly well, to the point where it’s hard to believe until you actually see it in action (here is a short demo video, but it probably isn't the best way to showcase it: https://youtu.be/NwBGY9ZhuWc?t=76 ).

We intentionally kept the blog post light on implementation details - partly to make it accessible to a broader audience, and partly because we will be posting gradually some more details. Sounds like build caching/replay is high on the desired blogpost list - ack :-).

The build-system integration used here was a one-line change in the Android build tree. That said, you’re right - deeper integration with the build system could push the numbers even further, and that’s something we’re actively exploring.

I think many people are (perhaps subconsciously, it’s wrongthink these days) worried about the rapid demographic slide, and he’s the only guy to even pretend to want to do something about it. He also has a lot of other random opinions, which I think most people don’t care one way or another about as long as he pretends to deal with the thing they are subconsciously worried about (not that what he’s doing does anything meaningful in that regard, but the subconscious is not very good at math).

Based on the video and rivian history I think they wanted to redesign from the ground up a bike to match the packaging success they had at rivian and companies like lucid vs how legacy automakers approached it. The problem is the current laws about bikes and ebikes limited them and they had to make many tradeoffs which is what we are looking at. I guess we will find it if it was worth it to go ground up vs more off the shelf. As a rivian owner I'm concerned about repair-ability and maintenance.

"Robotaxi iOS app is now available to everyone in the U.S. and Canada – anyone can download to join the waitlist. We continue to enhance our vehicles with over-the-air updates, deploying Grok (an AI companion) for vehicles in North America, Low Power Mode to help conserve energy (useful when traveling) and Light Sync that synchronizes the car’s interior accent lights with music. Customers can order food directly from their vehicle touchscreen before arrival at the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles."

That folks is from the Q3 Shareholder Deck from the 1.5 Trilion $ dollar company. An app that 'anyone can download to join the waitlist' - I guess the >50% of US population served by Robotaxi before the end of 2025 is already achieved...

I'm sure they will somehow figure out how to dupe people for some more quarters about Optimus, Robotaxis and AI, but we are witnessing history here - this quarter mark the top of the revenues for Tesla and most probably their last profitable quarter. This boost was only thanks to demand pull from US EV tax credits expiration. It's all downhill from here.

There are Antifa organizations but not the Antifa organization like Trump and his government claim.

Anonymous is a good example, there is no Anonymous organization, people just spontaneously grouped under the label Anonymous. So two actions by Anonymous could actually mean completely different people.

Do you think the group in your first link is a terrorist organization? They are not the Antifa, they are just antifascist organization. It’s an adjective not the name of a structured group like Hamas.

And if you are contra fascism you are antifa too, so good luck

You could just have a mono-repo with a large amount of assets that aren't always relevant to pull.

Incremental builds and diff only pulls are not enough in a modern workflow. You either need to keep a fleet of warm builders or you need to store and sync the previous build state to fresh machines.

Games and I'm sure many other types of apps fall into this category of long builds, large assets, and lots of intermediate build files. You don't even need multiple apps in a repo to hit this problem. There's no simple off the shelf solution.

The kind of probing they did and described in the blogpost, with the attempt to raise their privileges to admin is legally fishy AIUI. Usually this kind of thing would be part of a formal, agreed-to "red teaming" or "penetration testing" exercise, precisely to avoid any kind of legal liability and establish necessary guidelines. Calling an attempted access "ethical" after the fact is not enough.

Modern psychology (CBT) is built on a Stoic idea: “It’s not things that upset us, but our opinions about things.”

Stoicism doesn’t tell you to repress feelings. It tells you to examine them, to look at the beliefs behind them. If the belief is false (“this event ruins my life”), you correct it; if it’s true, you accept the feeling without letting it take over.

The Stoics called destructive emotions “passions,” but they also recognized healthy ones, like rational joy, caution, and goodwill. The goal isn’t emotional numbness, it’s clarity and alignment with reason and nature.

So, far from emotional blindness, Stoicism actually inspired the same kind of introspection that modern psychology promotes, just with a different vocabulary.

I would encourage you to read about CBT’s history and it’s influence on more modern psychology techniques. It’s likely that you are representing the Stoicism you commonly read about these days, on reddit, youtube and even on some books that take some liberties on translating it or do a bad job of it (it’s hard…). Most modern sources absolutely suck. A good translation from the original greek sources of Epictetus is very hard to come by.

I am using 3x 12v 185wh batteries in series. Realistically I can count on around 500wh. They are only 3 lbs each and fit neatly within the frame of the mtb. I don't like having them up on the rear rack, they tend to make the tail of the bike wag a bit compared to low and centered.

I know this is extreme, but people buying these Xbox handhelds over a Steam Deck are directly harming the future of gaming on PC. It's time that the PC gaming ecosystem breaks free from its dependency on Windows. Proton and SteamOS, combined with the unpopular mess that is Windows 11 is the perfect opportunity to do so.

The long-term end goal for Microsoft is to lock down Windows and force signed code. Once users are locked in, expect service fees to sharply rise just to use Windows. People should not fall for it. Leave Windows for crusty corporations that love their office 365 employee spy platform.

Querying external information is a different category of thing altogether.

The key thing (really, the only thing) about parameterized queries is that they allow you to provide code and data with a hard separation between the two.

LLMs don't have anything of the sort. They only take in one kind of thing. They don't even have a notion of code versus data that you could separate, or fail to separate. All you can do is either tolerate it sometimes taking instructions from the stuff you want treated as "data," or never give it anything you consider "data." You propose this second one. But never giving it "data" is very different from a feature that allows you to provide arbitrary data with total safety.

I agree, that was a weak analogy. Magnus stays employed because chess fans value watching humans compete, not because engines didn't replace his capabilities.

I've updated the post title to "Train with coding assistants like Magnus Carlsen trains with chess engines" to focus on the main point: the methodology. Magnus uses chess engines as sparring-partners to improve his game after matches. Same can be done by developers who will use coding assistants to level up their skills.

Thanks for calling this out.

If, in the year 2025, you are still using a shared account called "root" (password: "password"), and it's not a hardware switch or something (and even they support user accounts these days), I'm sorry, but you need to do better. If you're the vendor, you need to do better, if you're the client, you need to make it an issue with the vendor and tell them they need to do better. I know, it's easy for me to say from the safety of my armchair at 127.0.0.1. I've got some friends in IT doing support that have some truly horrifying stories. But holy shit why does some stuff suck so fucking much still. Sorry, I'm not mad at you or calling you names, it's the state of the industry. If there were more pushback on broken busted ass shit where this would be a problem, I could sleep better at night, knowing that there's somebody else that isn't being tortured.

Another good sales pitch is `jj undo`[0]. It puts the repo back to previous state, regardless of what the mutative operation was. It's a powerful and simple safety net that unlocks experimentation.

It does this by adding an new operation on top of the operation log[1], so you don't lose repository states by moving up + down the op log. There's a corresponding `jj redo` as well.

I believe both will happen and each one will develop its own cult-like following.

If I had to choose today, I'd 100% go for the rooms. I don't really like wearing anything, and I like the idea of being able to just "walk out" of it, kind of like when I close my laptop. Only problem is tech might become omnipresent (it kind of already is) so one would not be able to just "leave".
