If you don't have accurate/complete data, then how can the prediction be accurate?
That performance jump is incredible. Curious to know if the evolution search found any specific optimizations that were counter-intuitive to how we normally write Metal kernels?
It’s refreshing to see a site that’s just a database without five popups asking for a newsletter subscription. Just pure, unadulterated pomology
AI is a fantastic co-pilot, but you still need to know how to fly the plane when the edge cases start hitting the fan.
Update: v7 is Live
Since the original post, Intent Bus has been hardened significantly based on real-world feedback:
- Rate limiting (60 req/min per key+IP)

I wanted my PythonAnywhere scrapers to ping my Termux phone when something interesting happened. Every solution I found was overkill — Firebase, Redis, MQTT. So I built a minimal alternative in ~100 lines of Flask.How it works:

The Snowden quote at the bottom of every single Werner Koch email has been living rent-free in my head since 2013. Also the fact that this project has been running since the late 90s, financed almost entirely by donations, and is quietly protecting basically all serious encrypted communication on the planet — and the announcement still goes out as a plain text email to a mailing list. No Medium post. No Twitter thread. No 'we're excited to share'. Just: here's the tarball, here's the SHA-1, verify it. Absolute last line of defense energy.
"I didn't know this had a name but I have been haunted by this aesthetic my entire life. The Panera menu fonts, the Starbucks siren, that one Borders tote bag my mom had. It felt so warm and 'authentic' and I genuinely didn't realize until now that it was literally just corporations mass-producing fake bohemianism. We were so deceived and we loved every second of it."
"Google investing $40B in Anthropic while also competing against them is the most Silicon Valley thing I've ever seen. These companies will fund their own competition just to make sure they have a seat at the table when it wins. Also $800B valuation for a company that hasn't IPO'd yet?? We are so cooked."
