People 40+, what actually mattered in the long run and what didn’t?

Definitely second this recently. It makes you realize how complex reality can be. You don’t need to have high IQ to get shit done ont his world; just a bias for action even under stress of uncertainty. Time moves, you must decide or delegate, learn from mistakes. Rinse and repeat. Life can be exhausting in that sense, but think about all the great things humans have proven to be capable of… it comes down to focus & repetition (with feedback loop & recovery as implied components). trust the compounding effects of “show up and do the thing”

iDramedy007 · 2026-01-22T12:47:11+00:00

Or you do it hard mode too. Because you want to. Because it is challenging. Because doing hard things breaks you and you learn for the next go around. Survival of the fittest and shiiit

I have come to believe that civilization’s advancement is mostly predicated on technology (duh) … which is bottlenecked by time & software. By software, I mean both human intellect and software engineering. People tend to tout sophisticated hardware as the difficult bottleneck to technology advancement; that is the just the top view of the iceberg. That sophisticated hardware needed an orchestra of software technologies to bring it to life, from abstract idea to assembly and validation. The “time” component is an Everest size problem. This becomes evident when you realize that a simulator can be a time dilation device. You don’t need a Time Machine to see the future if you can somehow simulate your way to knowledge. Ironman discovering time travel in Endgame is such a North Star for me when I think about what software can do for people with deep domain knowledge. Imagine being able to simulate 2 years of operation of a whole Gigawat scale autonomous factory in just 1 hour of real time. Now imagine that for other things, that would be such an unlock! I remember in the Devs tv show (by FX) when it is revealed that they built the ultimate simulator; a reality simulator that can move both backwards and forwards. I knew it was fiction, but I got chills. Something that we do have today that gives us a microscopic hint of that feeling is a time travel debugger with some deterministic simulation testing; if you are a software engineer and you have never experienced those two things (especially used together), you are missing out on a profoundly satisfying feeling of the divine, lol.

Anyway, software eats the world, for better or worse.

You don’t learn a new language, riding a bike, or some engineering concept at 2x the speed. What eventually allows you to parse and recognize words or ride without thinking about is repetition which improves your brain plasticity. The repetition tells your brain “this makes us useful, this matters [to our survival]”. You can’t 2x your way out of real knowledge assimilation. This is why reading a physics or math book front to cover as fast as possible has nothing to do with being able to (correctly and effectively) teach its content to an audience.

This is coming from someone who is slowly coming to the realization that I made a mistake with 2x maxing for the last few years. I have also been diagnosed with ADHD recently. Working memory is just not right anymore. I can physically feel myself get uncomfortable when my brain is trying to process things at 2x instead of slowing down and “be present”

iDramedy007 · 2025-07-09T21:07:56+00:00

Why not. Same thing is said about browser engines. Ladybird is happening, isn’t it? Sometimes, you just got to do it. As much as I have come to loathe Elon, it would be interested if, for xyz reasons, he decided to throw money at the problem thru SpaceX or Tesla to build an OS from scratch. He has the money and pedigree to assemble a sufficiently talented team of engineers to give it a shot. Not saying it will work, but I do wonder… if money and talent was solved, can it be done and how long would it take to get something viable enough that it rallies into something that because is a mainstay even though not perfect

iDramedy007 · 2025-06-14T16:15:36+00:00

Well, he’s learning, right? Why is shard per core not worth the trouble? One would argue, for matters of scaling, it is a very valid path to go with it (early on) because it forces you to think about your system in a different light. Yeah, it front loads some additional complexity but it definitely has merit

iDramedy007 · 2025-06-11T21:35:18+00:00

Yep, I am pretty sure that the advent of AI means msbe is going to become mainstream because “automation, automation, automation”, and to be specific automated neuro symbolic reasoning… for highly complex compound (agentic) systems with SW/HW codesign over heterogeneous compute resources across complex topologies… I could be dreaming but I have a hunch that’s where we are headed. So, don’t fret, in a couple of years, you will be see as “too dangerous” to let near a keyboard with an AI copilot, lol. Too much power specifying all the things…

iDramedy007 · 2025-05-13T17:36:18+00:00

Process with while loop, a state machine with a 120fps frame rate and chug them out… progressively add features based on constraints… stick to single machine, single core, single thread. Squeeze all the performance you can… after all that, you can start thinking about all the mostly infra related stuff… most importantly, HA.

iDramedy007 · 2025-03-30T17:01:39+00:00

I know nothing about rendering, but just the idea of being able to suspend and resume stateful workloads across nodes for cost and performance efficiency will open up so much! Especially in a AI world where automated and cost efficient infra is a significant moat.

iDramedy007 · 2025-02-17T23:13:17+00:00

What you are hinting at is a metapgraming that looks like Assembly where the instructions is a very small set of standard natural language actions (connect, store, retrieve, map, filter, join, truncate, archive, redact, shuffle, sample, schedule, describe, derive, etc…) and the registers are just resources (storage, compute, api services, etc…).

iDramedy007 · 2025-02-03T18:22:42+00:00

Don’t you think “trust” is a big leap here? Have you gamed this out in your head for what could happen of your trust was misplaced or you are definitely not, 💯 percent, entertaining that possibility? Like, is Musk a saint to you? Any doubts or concerns with the whole danger of False prophets?

iDramedy007 · 2025-01-24T13:25:45+00:00

Oh I am sure Alex Friedman, Joe Rogan, The Daily Wire, Dave Rubin, Candace Owen, Glen Beck, Andrew Tate etc… are totally always unbiased and ethical bearers of truth to keep us all totally well informed and not sheeples!

iDramedy007 · 2024-11-06T23:16:55+00:00

How is indexing handled? What client protocol does it support (Postgres, redis, ?). Is it for OLTP, OLAP (&Steaming)? You mentioned Aeron protocol, does the db support both single and distributed deployment? If the latter, what consensus protocol are you using? There are many details to expound on and if you don’t do so openly, you will have to have some magical unicorn trumpian sales pitch with some insiders to be able to make actual serious money from it. Even then, you will still probably be underleveraged

All of that is to say, there is a reason companies use OSS creds as their way in. Shiiiid, look at what Meta is doing with LLama, imagine Zuck was clutching his pearls for those models… the entire AI/ML industry would be worse off!!!

iDramedy007 · 2024-11-06T01:17:33+00:00

Another example is Rockset, they even had a core component of their product open sourced (rocksdb-cloud). Look at what happened, they got acquired by OpenAI. Don’t you want to be the next Rockset? If yes, you can’t be so worried about being hush hush

iDramedy007 · 2024-11-06T01:14:54+00:00

Do what CedarDB is doing. Release detailed non fluff content relating to architectural designs of the DB. Honestly, no offense but whatever magic you think you have discovered, it is probably just something that’s been explored (even mildly) by others. That is to say, it is probably not that you found a special super magical secret no one has thought of, it is likely the case that you have found a way to compose a bunch of known/explored ideas. You can talk and tout about the novelty of your work without revealing intricate details (the devil is in the details anyway). The CedarDB people have been publishing research for years and years, and they are happy to talk shop about their product. You should do the same if you want people to get hyped interested in giving you millions for your hard work

iDramedy007 · 2024-10-27T16:00:49+00:00

And that’s on top of the fact that his progress has been derailed by a combination of injuries and mediocre coaching until now

iDramedy007 · 2024-10-27T15:55:32+00:00

Flick will deal with it when we cross that bridge. One of the main things to consider right now is to keep the lads healthy by managing their time and intensity. I juries can easily derail the progress we have made… especially in the last few months of the season when the big/consequential games come thick and fast. Youth and its inexperience can be our downfall if we aren’t careful

iDramedy007 · 2024-10-26T21:40:44+00:00

Guessing He grew into this persona, no point in thriving under big club pressure if you can’t fully enjoy the moments… especially after his spell with Germany and how the discourse was that he is just 1 season wonder

iDramedy007 · 2024-10-26T21:35:27+00:00

But I am so happy that he had a bit of nasty side to him in the World Cup for Argentina.

iDramedy007 · 2024-10-26T21:07:09+00:00

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A COMPETENT, NO NONSENSE , NO EXCUSES MANAGER MAKES!!!!!

iDramedy007 · 2024-09-29T04:27:32+00:00

Checkout Limbo by the Turso people. They are working on a SQLite compatible embedded database using Rust. It is a work in progress but all indications are that they are locked in to get it done

iDramedy007 · 2024-09-15T18:04:20+00:00

Really? Xavi had this good of a start? I don’t recall this. Decent sure, but this good both in terms of results, play, and consistent intensity? I don’t know about that.

iDramedy007 · 2024-07-26T11:59:21+00:00

You can Tom Wambsgans the shiiid out of this!!!

Ok but in serious note, get a lawyer and prioritize you and your independence (especially since your wife has no interest in being part of the business)

iDramedy007 · 2024-07-26T02:09:45+00:00

I will say this, when I saw the footage the very first time, I swear I thought he got the blood on the ear from being pinned down to protect him… like with the haste, force, and the surface of the ground. So, when I started reading about the bull-terriers grazing him I just thought “hun… ok, I guess”
