Pyrano available on github too. Minor updates incoming soon. #python #security supply chain via deep dependencies scanning age limiter @virustotal (big thanks they share some free api!!!). No need to trust pypi blindly in the supply attack era! github.com/Algolithics/pyran…

Urgent for democracies: they all need to implemented death penalty for national treason or big mismanagement. For small mismanagement or low losses just ban from politics and governing public seats or public companies.

A teenager in the United States started publishing software at 14 in 1998, built the entire online infrastructure for the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011, joined Google as a software engineer, quit in 2018, and then spent five years writing a C library that does something the entire industry said was impossible. Then she combined it with llama.cpp and shipped the easiest way on the planet to run a large language model on any computer. Her name is Justine Tunney. Here is the story, because almost nobody outside the low level systems world knows what one engineer has built. Justine was born in 1984. She started writing and publishing software at 14, back when distribution meant uploading binaries to BBS systems and chat networks. She picked up the handle jart, which she still uses on GitHub today. She did the work most teenagers her age were not doing. She read the systems programming literature. She studied compilers. She fell in love with C. In July 2011 she registered the @occupywallst Twitter handle and the occupywallst dot org domain. Within weeks the protest movement that began in Zuccotti Park in New York had become a global phenomenon, and her infrastructure was the digital backbone of the entire thing. She handled the social media, the website, the donations, the coordination. She built the platform that pushed the movement to reach millions. After Occupy she joined Google as a software engineer. She worked on TensorBoard, the visualization tool for TensorFlow, and on site reliability for Google infrastructure. She stayed for years. Then in 2018 she left Google Brain to work on a personal project. The project was called Cosmopolitan Libc. Cosmopolitan does something most C programmers would tell you is mathematically impossible. It lets you compile a C program once and have the resulting binary run natively on Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD with no modification. One file. Six operating systems. No virtual machines. No interpreters. No recompilation. The technique she invented is called Actually Portable Executable. The implications are wild. Cosmopolitan binaries violate every assumption about how operating systems load programs. They are at once a Windows PE file, a Linux ELF binary, a macOS Mach-O binary, and a shell script. The same bytes run on every platform. For five years she worked on it mostly alone. She funded the development partly through Mozilla's MIECO program, which sponsored her work on Cosmopolitan 3.0, released on October 31, 2023. A month later she shipped llamafile. llamafile is what happens when you combine Cosmopolitan with llama.cpp. You take any LLM weights file in the standard GGUF format, you wrap it in Justine's binary, and you get a single file that runs on six operating systems without installation. No Python. No CUDA setup. No dependency hell. Just one file that you double click and it works. Mozilla launched it as an official project of their innovation group on November 29, 2023. It went viral immediately. The repository, hosted at github .com/mozilla-ai/llamafile, now has 24,600 stars. The license is Apache 2.0. Justine kept shipping. She added GPU support to Cosmopolitan, a task systems engineers thought would require rewriting the whole thing. She added dlopen support, another thing nobody else had figured out. She wrote whisperfile, a single file version of OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text model based on the same architecture. Her GitHub profile lists projects most engineers would consider impossible. sectorlisp, a Lisp interpreter that fits in a boot sector. blink, the tiniest x86-64-linux emulator on Earth. bestline, a teletypewriter command session library. redbean, a complete web server inside a single zip file. A teenager who shipped software in 1998 grew up to write the C library that the entire local AI movement now runs on top of. She did most of it alone, and most people scrolling AI Twitter cannot name her.

Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home. Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

Tbh you need to join my movement. Privacy violation is a side effect of merit missing in governing and elections. Until we insist merit in democracy worldwide things will get worse. For now democracy is populism and the paradox is it leads via disorder to autocracy.

DNA is really so crazy, have y'all heard that story about the woman who had a baby with her husband and when he got a DNA test done he wasn't the father the mother insisted he was the dad so much so that they repeated the test numerous times the couple got divorced and the man refused tor be in the child's life it later came out based off the DNA results that he wasn't the father but the uncle of the child which was impossible because he was an only child after a more extensive DNA test they found out the husband was actually a chimera which essentially means he had a twin brother that he ate in utero essentially absorbing his DNA. So basically the unborn, twin brother was the father even though the husband bore the child.

Hit me with the harshest reality truth.
Community note
The claim that the couple divorced and the man refused to be in the child's life is not supported by accounts of the case. buzzfeednews.com/article/danver… time.com/4091210/chimer…

Prediction: due to oil revenue cuts Iraq and Kuwait will get unstable and may revolt against US middle east policy. Instead Iran revolting against Islamic regime and going pro 🇺🇸, Kuwait and Iraq may go anti 🇺🇸. If so 🇺🇸 may really lose many bases in the region. Huge L overall.

Everyone in finance focused on Iran and SoH doesn't see the elephant. Next biggest total crisis will come from AI used by hackers against Microsoft. Will take companies globally like avalanche, network paralysis like nothing seen before. Business off at global scale.

Underestimating of engineers is what leads the west to bring worse time ahead. We need top engineers everywhere starting in most important place - politics. We can't afford laymen to set laws when they require tech knowledge almost always.

.@PalmerLuckey: American companies don't actually have engineers anymore. "American companies have been hollowed out." "We're not teaching engineers how to be engineers anymore." "We're not teaching designers how to actually design things to be manufactured." "We're teaching them how to be high-level design shops that put together a design package, that gets sent to the real engineers in China—and they actually figure out how to do the work." "People are turning into architecture astronauts." "They pick components, and they put them in a nominal layout." "But the real work of—how am I actually going to put this together? How am I going to build a manufacturing line to make this? How am I going to need to figure out how to do the one, two, three, four, five different revisions of this board to pass radio emissions and interference standards? That's all done in China. So they are the real engineers." Via @HooverInst

The result of ignorance is bad planning. Attacking Iran might be necessary, but the way it was planned and executed was highly miscalculated. Bad insight, wrong assumptions, horrible outcome.
Replying to @Mylovanov
Trump represents self confidence accompanied by ignorance, narcissism and corruption. The outcome is clear: destroying 🇺🇸 by attacking allies, helping enemies (Russia and 🇨🇳), destroy economy (tariffs and global oil), destroying strategic bases (middle east) with thaad radars.

The economy of the Ai future. People will be streamers. Only "what if someone build thousands of fake people streams to farm engagement and gifts?
🇨🇳 China accidentally invented a closed-loop economy: young men default to delivery, young women turn to livestreaming. Streamers spend on food and makeup, delivery guys spend their salaries on stream gifts, and somehow the whole thing sustains itself.

One of greatest challenges for democratic societies worldwide is limiting media manipulation. Media are nations mirror, when it's distorted democracy is dysfunctional. Media manipulate for different reasons, sometimes owner agenda, sometimes building controversy for attention.

... power is distorted and can be abused. Double spend attack, selfish mining and MEV really have a lot in common with democracy via truth recognition and validation. Democracy needs a 2.0 version and some concepts to do it exist. @Falkvinge have some ideas how to fix media?

Dysfunctional democracy leads to chaos where society's priority are simplicity, order and effectiveness. Then populists come to power promising these and introducing regimes, step by step. Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Khomeini. The core problem is not fixed and danger is still real.
