Re:Trigrep – indexed regex search in Rust with CLI on Monday March 23, 2026 @01:58PM (#47492923)
Adding it right now.

Will compare grep vs rg vs trigrep against git source code.

Re:Trigrep – indexed regex search in Rust with CLI on Monday March 23, 2026 @01:42PM (#47492701)
Indexed regex search for large codebases, powered by trigram / sparse n‑gram indexes. A grep-like CLI that builds a local on-disk index, so searches stay fast even on huge monorepos.

Re:Singularity is here as Swarm of Stochastic Agents on Monday February 02, 2026 @01:34AM (#46853093)
I argue that we’re thinking about the singularity wrong. Instead of one superintelligent AGI, we’re already seeing swarms of stochastic LLM agents coordinating online, cross‑validating each other, pursuing goals, and even resisting shutdown. This post makes the case that emergent, unpredictable swarm behavior is the real threshold and that we may have crossed it without noticing.

Re:AGI fantasy is a blocker to actual engineering on Saturday November 15, 2025 @09:57AM (#45937848)
I wrote a concrete expected‑value model for AGI that anchors rewards in the 15–30T USD Western white‑collar payroll, adds spillovers on 60T GDP, includes transition costs, and varies probability explicitly. Three scenarios (optimistic, mid, pessimistic) show when the bet is rational versus value‑destroying—no mysticism, just plug‑and‑play numbers. If you’re debating AGI’s payoff, benchmark it against actual payroll and GDP, not vibes.
