Will doubling of forest helps ? ( not that it is possible )
iamgopal··on JetZero
wandering is human nature, we can not avoid it. with tech, almost 99% reason to travel can be avoided, we human as a nature, we will not skip it.
iamgopal··on Hacker wipes Romania's land registry database
would blockchain could have prevented it ?
iamgopal··on Show HN: Mcpsnoop – Wireshark for MCP (transparent proxy and live TUI)
Great. I dream to see MCP of MCP, discovery, installation, security and usage should be automatic.
iamgopal··on VibeThinker: 3B param model that beats Opus 4.5 on reasoning with novel SFT+GRPO
Two model, one is optimised for system, reasoning etc, second is optimised for specific language ( rust or go ? ) , both small enough to run on local computer, will it work ?
iamgopal··on Fable Converted Pylint to Rust
I’m interested in python bytecode to rust code compiler, that will save a lot of time and energy.
iamgopal··on GenCAD
There should be "login with gemini" or "login with claude" for saas world.
iamgopal··on GenCAD
how hard it is ? with AI prevalent, how long ? any pointers to start from ?
iamgopal··on Starship V3
He is talking about distributed AI, with their own AI chip, ( may be they can work at higher temperatures allow it to slowly cool to space ? ) not space station size server farm. By that, energy requirements will also be reduce, my biggest concern is, if every one starts doing it, in no time, millions of satellites will be in the space
iamgopal··on Show HN: Building a web server in assembly to give my life (a lack of) meaning
How are you merging sqlc and pgx with sqlite ?
iamgopal··on Zig → Rust porting guide

No other numbers were harmed in the making of this API.

But their feeling hurts, especially primes.

iamgopal··on The only moat left is money?
If automation excels sufficiently, robot will replace bent axle with new one automatically, repair cost will be usually higher than replace cost if all things are automated
iamgopal··on The only moat left is money?
Welding is being heavily targeted for automation, apart from pressure vessels etc, most welding can be automated now a days , very soon ( months? ) every welding can be automated.
iamgopal··on xAI joins SpaceX
That equation have surface area ? What if new material found to be extremely large surface area to weight ratio to dissipate lots of heat ?
iamgopal··on Gemini 3 Flash: Frontier intelligence built for speed
Much sooner, hardware, power, software, even AI model design, inference hardware, cache, everything being improved , it's exponential.
iamgopal··on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?
Nope, rather automation and AI should solve governance to the point that tax should be lower or abolished altogether.
iamgopal··on 1D Conway's Life glider found, 3.7B cells long
in an infinite plane, if we keep adding random points ( similar to sun continuously giving earth low entropy energy ) , eventually, it will reach to intelligent life form, which are very efficient at converting low entropy energy to high entropy energy.
iamgopal··on Electric vehicle sales are booming in South America – without Tesla
The small part in me understands that, they are banking on three things 1) oil will be cheap because of EV boom and hence EV dominance will be slow and could take couple of decades 2) electric Energy cost will rise significantly because so much charging and energy infrastructure required. 3) Battery will reach at par with gasoline and matured standardised comodity, that will be the perfect time to enter.
iamgopal··on Is Matrix Multiplication Ugly?
how about -1/(-(1/(-1/x))) ? How many roads must a man walk down before we can call him a man ?
iamgopal··on Visopsys: OS maintained by a single developer since 1997
By now, especially in linux, there should emerge an OS that is purely scripts to generate OS. Or is it already ?

Is there something inbetween ? A yacht with optional submerging feature ? May be just 100 feet ?
iamgopal··on OpenAI and Nvidia announce partnership to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems
and How much is that in terms of percentage of bitcoin network capacity ?

I daydream about a open source peer reviewed system, that can process votes, control, manage government at every level through general public and open voting system. Distributing control ultimately.
iamgopal··on AI Bubble 2027
What I think is, the team that pulled such large LLM off, is no stupid.
iamgopal··on Standard Thermal: Energy Storage 500x Cheaper Than Batteries
Gravity is weakest force of nature. Any strong force battery idea ?
