rvz··on Leaving Substack
OK.
rvz··on Researcher at Russian plague laboratory dies of 'unknown' infection
Cause for concern. You should care.
rvz··on The evolution of effective altruism
EA is a dynamic saviour complex cult that is devoid of reality and gave birth to the FTX fraud.

The whole concept of it is a scam.

rvz··on Scoop: White House monitors suspected plague outbreak in Russia
Here we go again.
rvz··on Anthropic asks Claude users to share voice data for AI model training
This is the second claude delusion.
rvz··on Stanford prof is beating the drum for a new protocol to replace TCP
About time.
rvz··on Ask HN: How would AI kill us all?
AI getting so powerful enough to develop bio-weapons.
rvz··on Is Getty Images Going Bankrupt?
yes.
rvz··on Religious scholars met with Anthropic
We are in Q2 of the year 2000.
rvz··on Docker has always used microVMs (well since 2016)
...*on macOS only and runs qemu as the emulator.

We know. But of course the hype of "microVMs" is just a rebranding of existing technologies with some modifications, macOS needed extra virtualization technologies just for containers for years:

   Docker Desktop macOS (until 2025): QEMU + Virtualization.framework + Linux kernel (without extra drivers) = "microVM".
Now they use the native Apple virtualization libraries instead of QEMU for both containers and microVMs. [0] Linux never needed to use KVM for containers, but requires it for microVMs:

   Linux: KVM + Linux kernel (without extra drivers) = Firecracker "microVM".
In reality, it is different depending on the OS that you are using.

rvz··on FTL: A new operating system for clouds
Maybe it is time to look at other new operating systems that are more memory safe by default and don't have any legacy bloat.

Now that we have a KVM 0day + VM escape vulnerability [0] right now.

rvz··on KVM 0day
As predicted, here we have a KVM 0day vulnerability 2 days later from my comment. [0]

rvz··on Supabase is acquiring Turso
> The core tech is open source so that is good. Will it stay? I guess Turso hosting was not making enough revenue?

You just answered your own question. Why would anyone pay for Turso if the core of the software is available for free and being licenced permissively under MIT?

rvz··on Supabase is acquiring Turso
Open source never pays the bills, nor do users here ever pay for open source.
rvz··on Mozilla shutting down Solo AI website creator
Another Mozilla failure to monetize something and to lose their >80% dependence on Googles money.
rvz··on Reddit to sunset RSS access because of AI bots
Your personal issue should be at AI being the reason for the "enshittification".

The bots are now more intelligent at scraping at it is affecting everyone and it is not just Reddit.

rvz··on Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel
So as I was saying...

rvz··on Is it 1999? – where the AI boom sits on the dot-com timeline
No. It is the year 2000.
rvz··on Bugfix.es Launched
So just like Sentry?
rvz··on OpenDLSS: A Vulkan Reimplementation of Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering Network
If the README is >90% AI generated and it is as long as a novel, I am not going to read it and will assume that the author did not read or write it either.

Unfortunately it is slop, beyond the comprehension of the author unless they are experienced with DLSS internals to explain it in depth.

rvz··on OpenDLSS: A Vulkan Reimplementation of Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering Network
But I thought Nvidia “loves open source” (they don’t) and they are now a supporter for open source and open weight models by acquiring Huggingface? (They don’t actually care)

But the line is drawn when it involves CUDA and any part of their closed source compilers (nvcc).

There are obvious reasons why they are closed source, but it’s becoming pointless since Deepseek have open sourced their AI compiler and compute libraries with DeepGEMM and eventually they will catch up.

rvz··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
You said that.

It is perfectly valid to have OSes that are more memory safe by default, and are also open source at the same time.

rvz··on Suits Are Better Tech Than Modern Clothes
Agreed. It is finally time to go back into wearing suits rather than the era of cringe-worthy hoodies.
rvz··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
Counting down to the next Linux LPE 0day or KVM vulnerability that agents will use to trivially escape their "sandbox".

Might need a re-think about whether if Linux is still fit for purpose on sandboxing in the first place given its memory model is riddled with C-style security issues.

rvz··on TUI Games in 80x24
Why do we need this over something like ratatui.rs? I don't see the use-case in any of this and it is some sort of vapourware that has a private alpha? I don't get it.

Seems like this hype around TUIs makes no sense at all and sounds like a fad. Maybe it is time to move on.

rvz··on Firebase SDK is crashing all iOS apps since this morning
So we have not learned anything since then, on both sides from the SDK builder side and the client side.

Why is it that iOS is crashing but not Android?

Google should know better to not have such an incident like this as the Firebase SDK runs on millions of apps.

If you did not implement a fall back mechanism, perhaps you based your testing assumptions on that “Firebase could never crash my app” which is now false.

rvz··on Firebase SDK is crashing all iOS apps since this morning
Keep vibe coding and breaking everything.

This will be the new normal as all human “engineers” from staff to seniors are now down levelled to interns and junior engineers when using AI; unable to understand what they are doing and pushing broken updates like this into production with “agents”.

Better not blame Claude on this outage.

rvz··on 1996 chat room simulator connected to Win95 and System 7 web desktops
There is no use case for any of this. Most of this vibe coded garbage will get abandoned in months and the deleted.
