lijok··on Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language
People no can Rust so people no use Rust. Simple as.
lijok··on Uber caps employee AI spending after blowing through budget in four months
Are you describing finetuning?
lijok··on Reverting the incremental GC in Python 3.14 and 3.15
What about the projects that python handles better?
lijok··on Reverting the incremental GC in Python 3.14 and 3.15
We should all go back to writing assembly
lijok··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% of its workforce
Or maybe you don’t understand what it means because you’re not the target audience?
lijok··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% of its workforce
Not really. This is all so new, noone is using it correctly, because noone knows how to yet. We’re all just kind of flailing our arms around with it, but it’s clearly a force multiplier and its increased use is an actionable signal
lijok··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% workforce
Noone knows what the correct structure for this new world looks like. We’ll see what they end up hiring for. But it’s fairly standard to lay off a bunch of people and hire new, rather than retrain, when you need to restructure
lijok··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% of its workforce
Which part of that sentence was confusing? I found it perfectly clear. Their internal AI use is exploding, which is a signal that they need to structure for that, and so they’re laying people off as one of the first steps towards actioning that signal.

Nowhere did they indicate there is less work to do, in fact quite the opposite.

Zirp ended over 4 years ago, what are you talking about, the us economy is collapsing? What? Care to elaborate on any of this?
lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Because it’s allegedly more expensive
lijok··on Mythos is the best cybersecurity news in a decade
It is not possible to make a piece of software completely secure because software sits atop hardware and hardware introduces its own security vulnerabilities that leak into software without possible recourse.
lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Why exactly would the H100s get retired for Blackwells if specifically power and DC permits were the bottleneck?
lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Not millions of dollars per sat. Are you being intentionally obtuse?
lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
The current bottleneck is not silicon. There is plenty of silicon locked up in previous gen GPUs that are no longer efficient enough to run relative to newer models. The bottleneck is the economics of owning the older GPU models - which is why all the GPU neoclouds are gonna go bust unless they can get customers to continue renting old GPUs.

The economics are vastly different when opex is near zero for these things

lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Millions of dollars? Where did you get that number from?
lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
There are over 10k starlink sats in orbit already. They’re obtaining approval for another ~30k.

So clearly not a problem for them.

lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Efficiency in the cooling loop is of no consequence as it has 0 opex cost in space. Do the capex numbers make sense?
lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
And that’s sufficient for roughly 100 unoptimized DC grade H200s.

Not efficient, and it doesn’t have to be, because the cooling system has 0 opex cost. And capex clearly can be made to wor

lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
what do you mean they can’t get rid of heat? radiators exist
lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Why are you comparing the output of a datacenter to the output of a single sat?

How much power do starlink sats draw and how does it compare to say 8x H200s?

lijok··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Which is the same lifetime as a starlink sat
lijok··on Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
CF used to ban your account for shit like this just a year ago. That’s quite a shift in attitude

There’s one comment as of the time of your post that makes this assumption - you could have replied to them directly.
lijok··on ASML became the chokepoint for cutting-edge chips
Yes, me
lijok··on ASML became the chokepoint for cutting-edge chips
The final polishing for litography, yes
lijok··on ASML became the chokepoint for cutting-edge chips
ASML are not the chokepoint for chips. Zeiss are. ASML can hire more engineers and build more machines. Zeiss cannot hire more mirror grinders. And noone wants to train as one.
lijok··on GPT 5.5 biosafety bounty
Most transparent marketing stunt to date.

25k - come on now..

lijok··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
This isn't a web development concept. It's the unix philosophy of "write programs that do one thing and do it well" and interconnect them, being taken to the extremes that were never intended.

We need a different hosting model.
