I LOVE the analogy of "the shortest stave in the barrel" for how we're all dealing with component prices for machine learning hardware. Doesn't matter how high the tallest one is if you've got one that is half as high... www.distributedthoughts.org/2026-10-08-t...

The Shortest Stave

HBM will eat about 22% of the world's DRAM wafers by year-end, up from 18% a year earlier, and DRAM contract prices have roughly tripled in six months. The AI industry spent two years solving for GPUs...

I know it's great to hate on AI, but being able to say, "This table needs locking down, or "my Mac is running badly," or "VS Code keeps giving me this error." is incredible. These would have taken me potentially days to understand and debug. AI just does it for me, with full audit log.

I see. Well I’m doing my best to understand, and I don’t see the benefits of hurting people who are ostensibly supposed to be on your side, and helping those who want you dead. Not hidden… dead. But like I said I’m not the expert here.

For today's blog post, I thought about "pacing the frontier." But not that kind of pace. Or that kind of frontier. Turns out Daniel Boone ran into this problem 225 years ago. Fun blog post to write! www.distributedthoughts.org/2026-09-17-s...

I am not going to say it's perfect, but you... have a conversation? The only people who will never have the conversation with you are those who actively oppose trans existence. In a 2-party system, you only get to choose between people who are bad and those who are slightly less bad.

I am not an expert here. Generally I thought the best path was to get the least loathesome person in office that you felt you could have a conversation with and then have a conversation. Note I didn’t say “good” because it’s politics and there’s never a “good” answer, just a “least bad”

The “but” merely indicates the difference between the platonic ideal and having to deal with messy reality. Not about what I actually accept, which is unequivocal human rights.
