canadiantim··on Launch HN: Rivet (YC W23) – Scale and Orchestrate Agents on S3
This is soooo cool! Awesome!

You mention support for Turso, like we could use Turso instead of sqlite?

Amazing work though, definitely will be following with keen interest and likely adopting it! Love that the genesis came from trials and tribulations for game dev.

canadiantim··on Lula wins election after final votes tallied
Yeah it’s alarming how much HN users are willing to support corruption so long as it’s their preferred candidate doing it. Really is all just tribalism to most posters in this thread so far

It’ll be a fine day when phones can use an embedded Postgres

canadiantim··on Canadians are running out of time to oppose Bill C-22
It's true the liberal party is aligned with the democratic party and otherwise joined at the hip, but I wouldn't say the democrats are trying to destroy media credibility across the board, the media has already done that themselves.

canadiantim··on Waymo in Toronto

canadiantim··on Show HN: Proa – A Rust web framework with fast SSR and multi-target rendering
This looks amazing, really appreciate your minimal JavaScript approach. I’ll definitely try it out, could see myself potentially doing pro version in future.
canadiantim··on Show HN: Minigraf – An embedded, bi-temporal graph database in Rust
How does it compare with the since-discontinued embedded graph database cozodb? https://github.com/cozodb/cozo

It also used datalog, written in rust

Great to see tho, I'm always eagerly hoping for a successful embedded graph database. Most recently my hope was for kuzudb, but they got acquihired; though it's still open-sourcing' as LadybugDB.

Highly recommend taking inspiration from Kuzudb/Ladybugdb and cozodb.

Godspeed!

canadiantim··on Loss of cell identity drives human aging: Two new papers
Yeah this theory has been part of biology for a long time in different forms, I also subscribe to it. You may like to look into Rupert Sheldrake’s morphogenetic fields which is a recent depiction of it too that is very interesting

canadiantim··on Identity Management for Agentic AI [pdf] (2025)
Executive Summary (from the linked pdf)

The rapid rise of AI agents presents urgent challenges in authentication, authorization, and identity management. Current agent-centric protocols (like MCP) highlight the demand for clarified best practices in authentication and authorization. Looking ahead, ambitions for highly autonomous agents raise complex long-term questions regarding scalable access control, agent-centric identities, AI workload differentiation, and delegated authority. This whitepaper is for stakeholders at the intersection of AI agents and access management. It outlines the resources already available for securing today’s agents and presents a strategic agenda to address the foundational authentication, authorization, and identity problems pivotal for tomorrow’s widespread autonomous systems.
