Email: arthur@distributed.systems

Background:

Deep knowledge of OpenAI, Anthropic + LLM APIs. Able to run models on GPUs and Apple Silicon unified memory. I have trained + deployed agentic coding, tool calling and multi-turn agent models in two prior roles.

Building autonomous agent infrastructure. Currently run a small R&D shop (Distributed, Systems & Co.) doing distributed AGI and AI safety research. I am developing graphsub (graph substrate), a graph-native service mesh for agents, eval harnesses, self-modifying DSLs.

Before that: 4 years at Goldman Sachs deep in SecDB/Slang (the reactive dependency-graph system). I worked on collateralized mortgage obligations, on the interest rate products trading desk (as an engineer in the technology division), automated parts of the downstream IR-swap lifecycle and on CDS lifecycle management for novations and other lifecycle events. Had a hand in managing and working on our internal TriOptima notional compression cycles. I got promoted from tech into structuring. Series 7.

Recent work: 15-service LLM stack (zero downtime across 98 deploys), fine-tuned Llama-3.1-8B (23% hallucination reduction), Rust daemons and TUIs. 3k+ GitHub contributions last year.

OSS: agents.erl (BEAM-native cognition), https://github.com/arthurcolle/openai-mcp, fortitude (a framework for bootstrapping agents), https://github.com/arthurcolle/dspy.ex

Looking for: AI labs, defense tech, or startups building agentic systems / foundation model infra / AI safety tooling. IC or research roles.

I can run SFT and RL experiments, train models, and I'd love to be able to train agentic models and ideally with large GPU clusters. I have enjoyed these last two years, a focused period of building "agentic scaffolding" and scaling up multi-agent systems and if any of this sounds appealing to you, I can definitely be of some help to your org!

>What did you find hard to understand about double entry accounting?

I didn't understand the point of the two entries.

My prior experience with bookkeeping was that I imported my bank statements into some tool and categorized each transaction. So, if I bought a cookie for $5, I'd mark that transaction as "food," and that felt intuitive to me. I didn't understand why it would become two transactions where one is food and the other is my cash. It just felt like, why split it into two? What does that do for me?

The "ah-ha" moment from Kleppman's post was seeing how it's not just about creating two entries but about defining flows between accounts. The graphs helped because they show how balances increase or decrease as you traverse the nodes.

To be clear, it wasn't like I spent hours banging my head against the wall trying to understand double-entry accounting and failed until Kleppman's post. It was just that I'd encountered the idea a few times, and it never clicked until Klepmman.

> it’s trying to be everything for package management, and adds a lot of complexity (and I disagree that it’s always necessary/inherent) compared to just installing a tool and sometimes upgrading it. That complexity often means I have to debug it rather than the tool that I want to

Although you're right about nix's DX being quite rough, the problem isn't exactly that it "tries to be everything for package management".

Consider the assumption Nix wants to make about its packages: it should be possible to package software by putting it in some arbitrary directory (i.e. not just /usr/bin), where its dependencies are also put in (or symlinked to) some arbitrary location.

I think with well-written software, this should be a reasonable assumption, but you're going to run into friction with that. (Friction which will require you to have a good breadth/depth of understanding).

In my experience, a lot of the complexity when dealing with Nix is with the large and organic complexity of nixpkgs.

The "trying to be everything" is more incidental to the expressive package management. -- NixOS is 'just' an OS built upon the package manager; dev shells are 'just' shells which expose the build environment of a package; etc.

>I'm not saying that I'm approving this company or their products, but I can definitely get behind the idea of paying for OS updates.

>The opposite being the product like with Microsoft/Google.

But Microsoft does offer that, it's called ESU for windows. The problem I suspect is that the cost of maintaining security patches is fixed, and nobody (relatively speaking) wants to pay for it, so other companies like Apple doesn't even bother.

It's not Second System Syndrome. Nearly every complaint against IPv6 is downstream of the decision to enforce a global centralized namespace for an end-to-end principle many don't care for.

e.g. Getting a unique address would be way more risky with 64 bits (there's a reason UUIDs are 128 bits too!), even before considering the network:interface split.

> exponential is a constant % improvement per year

I suppose of you pick a low enough exponent then the exp graph is flat for a long time and you're right, zero progress is “exponential” if you cherry pick your growth rate to be low enough.

Generally though, people understand “exponential growth” as “getting better/bigger faster and faster in an obvious way”

> 3 -> 4 -> 5 were extraordinary leaps…not sure how one would be able to say anything else

They objectively were not.

The metrics and reception to them was very clear and overwhelming.

Youre spitting some meaningless revisionist BS here.

Youre wrong.

Thats all there is to it.

> All of my devices are assigned 4 IPv6 IPs

Loopback, link local and network assigned. What's that problem? Your ipv4 hosts are can reach themselves through millions of addresses already.

> hostnames are replaced by auto assigned stuff from the ISP

Hostnames replaced? IPv6 doesn't do DNS...

> lots of random things don’t work.

Lots of random things also don't work on ipv4. :)

I do write and profile software of that kind and this experience is why I know this isn't a myth. Any mature program has a whole lot of code that actually isn't performance critical at all. For example, 3d software needs a really huge amount of GUI and other support code that isn't performance critical at all. The performance hotspots are really just individual functions doing the core of the processing work for any of the features it offers. The initiation/scaffolding code around that just doesn't matter. The same translates to all other software that that I have worked on.

When the GP said “not possible” they were referring to the strict letter of the law that I was, not to your lower standard of “make a good effort to fix it”. Law is not code because that gives the lawgivers discretion to exercise power arbitrarily while convincing the citizens that they live under the “rule of law”. At least the Chinese for all their faults don’t bother with the pretense.

> The guy actually said "Israeli historians", not "New Historians"

The 3 historians he listed were 3 out of the 4 most well known "New Historians", but him leaving out Benny Morris(arguably the most well known of the New Historians and the one who coined the term itself) was a bit of a red flag to me that he's cherry-picking sources to support a particular narrative. Technically the "New Historians" are a subset of "Israeli historians".

> he's probably not reading the people the New Historians were responding to.

Yeah, I'm sure he isn't, although I'm probably also less familiar with those original historians myself as well since I was born after the point in which the "New Historians" had access to the declassified archives.

Even amongst the New Historians there's a lot of disagreements on things like which side has been more of an impediment to peace and a number of other key issues, with Benny Morris often being highly critical of say Ilan Pappé.

My own views of the history of the conflict and Zionism in general are probably broadly in line with those of Benny Morris. It's important to at least try and understand the history/perspectives of both sides of these conflict. At the same time it's worrying that even a lot of otherwise intelligent individuals would fall for rather overt antisemitic propaganda.

Really? I get somewhere in the region of none to barely any, depending on the server.

I mean, yes, you'll get a constant stream of them on IPv4, but why would you run a server on v4 unless you absolutely needed to? The address space is so small you can scan every IP in 5 minutes per port, and if you have my v4 address you can enumerate every single server I'm running just by scanning 65k ports.

Meanwhile, on v6, even the latter of those takes a thousand years. How would people even find the server?

> Europe isn’t politically capable of decisive action. By design. Some European countries could, but I’m not seeing a proximate future where Europe is-and is treated as—a great power.

Kissinger famously said, ~ 'if I want to call Europe, who do I speak to?' Generally I think your position is more true than not.

But the Europeans have an opportunity to act more cohesively: Since Kissinger, things have changed considerably: Europe has the political and military structures: the EU government is much stronger, with greatly expanded power, and more cohesive, helped by the exit of the dissenter UK and the Russian threat; the EU and NATO now encompass pretty much everyone west of Russia. There has long been a growing movement to strengthen EU foreign policy in that way - even having a military force.

And they have powerful incentives: Russia's threat and the US's abandonment; and the rise of China (and India and others) makes Europe's individual 'great powers' into middling and regional ones. Just imagine the UK still ruling Hong Kong today. Together, the EU would be the second leading power in the world - potentially growing into the first if they don't alienate everyone like another power.

Also, they don't need to act cohesively. Germany by itself has a far bigger economy than Russia and could fund Ukraine alone - and they wouldn't be totally alone, either.

> What do you mean by disarmament? Ukraine and Russia will obviously maintain arms after any peace. They just won’t be blowing each other up.

Again, likely true. My very hypothetical point was, a broader NATO-Russian peace could disarm both sides, including the sensitive regions. Maybe Ukraine joins NATO to give them security. Open up trade with Russia too.

Russia has no political position to reject that offer - peace, security, trade - except Putin's imperialist ambitions. It would demonstrate the lie in Putin's claim that NATO seeks to control Russia. It might be hard for him to resist that offer domestically.

I don't think I need a new $4000 refrigerator with an ad-spewing tablet and barcode scanner.

I do think a $100 device with a barcode scanner and a tiny LCD screen that attaches magnetically to the fridge and has 3 buttons: "Buy More", "Empty", "Expired", where you scan an item then hit the appropriate button it syncs to a backend service that helps build shared grocery lists would be a winner.

I would like to add:

Weaknesses / Counters:

1) Surrogate endpoint only — HPV PCR positivity is not a clinical outcome; no CIN2/3, no cancer, no mortality measured

2) Correlation ≠ causation — HPV-cancer link is epidemiological association; Koch's postulates not fulfilled in traditional sense; detecting DNA doesn't prove pathogenic activity

3) PCR detection ≠ disease — Transient HPV infections are common and clear spontaneously; most HPV-positive women never develop lesions or cancer

4) Type replacement signal ignored — 66% higher incidence of non-vaccine HR types in vaccinated group is dismissed rather than investigated as potential clinical concern

5) No long-term clinical follow-up — Cervical cancer takes 15-30 years to develop; this 7-year study cannot assess actual cancer prevention

6) Confounding in vaxxed vs unvaxxed comparison — Unvaccinated group is small (n=859), likely differs in health behaviors, screening adherence, socioeconomic factors

7) Circular reasoning — Vaccine "works" because it reduces detection of the types it targets; says nothing about whether those types were actually causing disease in this population

8) Assumes HPV16/18 reduction = cancer reduction — Untested assumption; clinical benefit must be demonstrated, not inferred from PCR

9) High baseline HR-HPV in vaccinated group unexplained — 32% prevalence of other HR types suggests substantial ongoing oncogenic exposure despite vaccination

10) Genome validity unestablished — HPV reference genomes are in-silico constructs assembled computationally; never validated by sequencing purified, isolated viral particles; PCR/sequencing performed on mixed clinical samples where true origin of amplified fragments is indeterminate

I strongly agree on this. I mained Windows for the last few years and got to the point where I was comfortable doing development similarly to how I would on Linux (text editor and command line build tools, cl, ml64, batch, etc.). I did that mostly so I could game and develop on the same machine. I learned a ton doing it but it has just gotten too awful to carry on.

It was faster to rg to search files, drop into WSL and run find for file name searches. The start menu was laggy, explorer was laggy (open up a folder with a couple dozen OGG files and it won't render for a solid minute). Mystery memory usage from privileged processes I had little control over. Once I realized that the one game I play (Overwatch) ran on Linux I decided to swap back.

I installed Linux Mint earlier this year and I've been extremely happy. The memory consumption is stable and low, and if something is broken I have the control to fix it. It just feels so much less hostile. This is largely possible thanks to the work Steam has done with Proton. The last real barrier is kernel level anti-cheat which prevented me from trying out this years Call of Duty. Oh well!
by pfannkuchen | 2026-01-03 00:34:37+00:00
Yes, I understand that. Would you mind reading my comment above? The thing I’m confused about is why it won’t protect you against one you already have.

Like for viruses that have a vaccine, normally you wouldn’t vaccinate someone who had the virus already because the vaccine would be redundant - they already have natural immunity.

But in the case of HPV, apparently they don’t have effective natural immunity, the immunity naturally acquired is worse than the vaccine one. So why can’t the vaccine one take effect after the absent (or at least ineffective one) natural one isn’t (or is slightly) in place? That’s what I don’t understand. It seems like the natural immunity prevents the vaccine induced immunity from developing, but the natural immunity in this case doesn’t seem to work, while the vaccine induced immunity does work. Why…?

> each and every device ... updates its DNS records.

What device on your office LAN should maintain its own DNS records? Advertise your own caching DNS server over DHCP(6), give its responses a short TTL (10 sec), make it expire the relevant entries, or the whole cache, when one of your links goes down. I suppose dnsmasq should handle this easily.

It seems that the discussion turned away from a multi-homed setup (pooling the bandwidths of two normally reliable links) to an HA/failover setup (with two unreliable links, each regularly down).
by cjk | 2026-01-03 00:34:48+00:00
Yeah. I feel the same way. If not for the fact that my gaming PC pulls double duty as a work PC, I'd seriously consider ditching Windows 11 for Bazzite.

I worry that we are edging closer and closer to a similar phenomenon with macOS as well. Apple seems intent on squandering every bit of stability and sanity that macOS used to represent. Maybe now that Alan Dye is gone, we will at least see the abomination that is Liquid Glass fixed…somehow.

Hi my name is Kyle - I have 10 Years professionally - Ex-cofounder Legaltech SaaS - Self-taught programmer and have been coding since starting with C++ in 2005 and Flash games.

I am passionate, hardworking, and strive to do my best and drive real change. I like working with highly engaged teams, where I can take on important roles with autonomy and be involved in the decision making process. I have a keen eye for product and customer fit - and I am always asking questions to ensure that I understand new information, perspectives, and priorities.

I am looking for team where there is a shared sense of purpose - and a long term vision. I want to work with a loyal group of people who aren't chasing fads, but who instead are focused on their customers, their employees, their product (or service) and who are focused on good fundamentals - not hype.

I am unemployed at the moment - and would really appreciate some reach outs. I am available ASAP - and hungry!

I've heard of it but haven't seen any kind of consensus on it - or even whether it exists.

If it does, though, games hardly seem relevant. People were addicted to TV long before they had access to video games.

This is specious advice. Never hold 100% anything.

Especially cash. Maybe/likely the US Fed will pump trillions of new dollars into the economy in random places and cause massive inflation.

So let's say we hold 25% cash, or even 50% cash. We still have to allocate the other 50-75% somewhere. Where?

> that means your secure boot chain must go all the way up to include a non tampered window manager too,

Yeah, that's the entire point. The whole distro in this scenario would be signed reproducible FOSS builds. No untrusted binaries would be permitted to run. State of entire filesystem verified except specific directories. Think Android without the app store and no user provided APKs permitted.

Valve already manages SteamOS so this isn't as crazy as it might initially sound.

Although it does occur to me now that one of the newer GPLs has an anti-tivo provision. Not sure if this would run afoul of that. It's access to a subset of a service that would be restricted (competitive matches), everything else would still work.
