My interest in anything associated with geohot took a colossal nose dive today after seeing this post against democracy, quoting frelling M*ncius M*ldbug: Democracy is a Liability. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47469543 https://geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll/update/2026/03/21/demo...
Theres a lot there that makes sense & I think needs to be considered. But a lot just seems to be out of the blue, included without connection, in my view. Feels like maybe are in-grouo messages, that I don't understand. How this is headered as against democracy is unclear to me, and revolting. I both think we must grapple with the world as it is, and this post is in that area, strongly, but to let fear be the dominant ruling emotion is one of the main definitions of conservativism, and it's use here to scare us sounds bad.
"tiny" and it's 20k lbs and cost about 10k...
Since when did our perception of tiny blow out of size in tech? Is it the influence of "hello world" eletron apps consuming 100mb of mem while idle setting the new standard? Anyway being an AI bro seems like an expensive hobby...

"but if you haven't contributed to tinygrad your application won't be considered" this company expects people to work for free?
Is this real? Reads like a joke. They sell a $12K machine, a $60K machine, and a $10M machine???
