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.

canadiantim··on Grok Build is open source
I’m biased to like it and I don’t. I find it’s way worse than opus 4.8, 5.6-sol:medium or glm 5.2. I’ve subscribed for supergrok anyway cause it’s a good deal but basically just use grok 4.5 for my explore agents / commit agents and some smol tasks. I don’t trust it beyond that. Grok build and grok-build-0.1 are both supremely underwhelming. Many factors, one they often don’t “grok” tool use too well, ironically. They also didn’t function well as orchestrators, often getting confused, repeating things and otherwise getting tripped up logically. I have hope though that these are just growing pains and it’ll get better
