asxndu··on Ask HN: What tech companies do you think have a good moral compass?
Morality is opinionated.

Just tell me what you stand for, and you will see corporations that respect that.

asxndu··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
EIP 7702 is the most idiotic EIP.

It's the main weak point used in these hacks.

It allows a counter party to withdraw money from your wallet any time.

Just don't "connect" you wallet.

asxndu··on Lobbying
I am of the perspective that it's usually politician's extorting business people.

Kind of like, "If you don't bribe us, we shall pass laws that hurt you."

Business people just want to run their businesses.

Politicians however depend on strife. Which explains why, no matter the politician, nothing ever changes.

If you are to classify business people & politicians in an ecological sense.

- Business people would be symbiotes

- Politicians are parasites

asxndu··on Ask HN: Best Blogging Platform?
Ok. What system WordPress?
asxndu··on Why don't people use formal methods? (2019)
I think it's the culture is software engineering.

In a food delivery app/social network it seems like a waste of time to use formal methods.

When designing software for aircraft, pacemakers, fintechs, cryptography and DeFi protocols there is a bit of value for formal methods. The problem is that often, people with the food app/social network culture are hired to build DeFi protocols.

Which explains why so much money is being stolen form DeFi protocols of late. So why people don't use formal methods.

- 95% of the time, the stakes are low

- 5% of the time, the engineers don't understand the value of formal methods.

Leslie Lamport once joked that if software developers were architects, they would first build a skyscraper and then later draw the blueprint.

Fantastic for research!

I not longer need to talk to toxic people on Reddit.

asxndu··on Good Tools Are Invisible
"I want the defaults to be good and just work, and when I do need to tweak something minor, it should take seconds."

This is Apple's secret, its strange how so many people can't see this or why no ine has comprehensively replicated it.

asxndu··on Chat Control passed first round in EU Parliament
Why are we so passive to the promotion of such scams?

I keep telling people about such things and I am looked at as nerdy, geeky or boring.

But this stupid reaction finally explains to me why human life for ordinary people will always largely be a life of suffering.

asxndu··on Mir Books – Books from the Soviet Era
Quick question.

What do soviets make great researchers? I noticed this pattern in ml, math & physics research.

Is it that they have better quality books?

asxndu··on Ask HN: Smallest amount of working ML weights that can be tattooed on a body?
Maybe you could port it to APL?

That i'm sure the code can be made shorter by guys in the code golf community.

asxndu··on EU to legislate about Chat Control behind closed doors
In cybernetics, there is a saying that;

"The purpose of a system is what it does".

By observation, the purpose governments is to run scams. After all, it makes no sense to attribute their purpose to things they consistently fail to do.

Definitely Andrej Kapathy's 250 line code of Micro GPT.

I think it can fit on someone's back. (if a small enough font is used)

asxndu··on Bun has an open PR adding shared-memory threads to JavaScriptCore
I am shocked by how good and comprehensive the bun docs & ecosystem is.

Its so well contained I never need to look outside its ecosystem for basic components. It's a true "Batteries Included" runtime.
