I'm an experienced developer, visionary and researcher.

I've created better "Who to be hired?" reader here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48748491

Reach out to me and I will strengthen your team with my experience and knowledge.

I started working with AI back in 2014 and consider myself one of the early vibe coders. I’m interested in everything related to AI and security, I’ve worked on benchmarks, optimizations, training and inference, tinygrad, H100, B200, DeepSeek etc. I also developed an ultra-fast programming language for executing complex GPU workloads and created a generative OS for it.

Under 25, I created the core of a security scanner and built a hacking team at a UK startup ($7M investment). We removed the GIL from Python to run 30,000 threads and scan 18,000 exchange IPs for malware overnight.

I have many achievements, I created a Top-10 music app on the App Store and an Instagram filter editor for a social network that had 28,000 users at launch.

Exactly. Chips are incredibly expensive and extremely complex—containing billions of transistors and you can't realistically build them at home. Memory is a good example: it keeps growing in both capacity and cost.

The same thing will happen to software. Eventually, the sheer volume and diversity of code will exceed human comprehension and only massive data centers will be able to process it. We'll reach the point where software complexity and programmer capabilities hit an economically practical limit. The next-gen Moore's Law for AI?

Today, chips are designed largely through automated processes and software is increasingly being created the same way. The main difference is the timescale: software evolves billions of times faster than hardware.

A security scanner, for example, we had to check tens of thousands of IPs of global exchanges for backdoors overnight while the exchanges were offline

That reminded me of how back in 2008 I removed the GIL from Python to run thousands Python modules in 10,000 threads. We were fighting for every clock cycle and byte and it worked. It took 20 years for the GIL to be removed and become available to the public.

Does this mean that internet blocking by third parties is above any science? How will researchers be able to make discoveries if every scientific website gets blocked? Many mysteries of the universe could end up blocked by a dumb firewall. Please do something with this.

The site doesn’t open from Ukraine. Any suggestion?

I have seen a test of bitchat using radio communication over a distance of more than 5 km. There were also other methods to extend BT range.

The main risk is that an LLM will rewrite itself and programmers will no longer be needed. I worked a bit with tinygrad and it looks quite amusing I managed to run it right away and make fixes in one of the tasks, but I decided not to commit because I was afraid of rejection. For example, the tasks are strange: $500 for two months, optimizing H.265, something that only a small group of people in the world can do.

The SV is a unique place where you can meet Geo and get $5M, maintain a bunch of hardware, build a framework in 20,000 LOC and everything works well.

Three years ago I found myself in a difficult situation and at Christmas I asked HN for help. Several people sent me invitations and work appeared right away, so I went off to pay my bills. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34121905

My situation was very tough and the job was tough too, so I wasn’t able to reply to everyone by email right away, circumstances worked out that way.

Now things have improved and I want to say a big thank you to everyone who came to help, the HN community, Dang and the team for the support.

Merry Christmas and I wish humanity to survive in the age of AI!

Physically, demos and game development have advanced far beyond where they were at the beginning of the demoscene, but now people no longer come together. Game engines and devices have become accessible to everyone, and people are constantly inventing new things. For example, just look at the number of algorithms and new gameplay mechanics now compared to 10 years ago.

In 2012, I created a live coding platform and spent a lot of time thinking about why live coding didn’t become more popular than traditional coding. Live coding came about 10 years before React, which became reactive because you no longer had to press F5 every time you updated the HTML (I worked on the first version of React Webpack, which was doing server-side rendering).

Later, after going through a startup accelerator, the puzzle finally clicked for me. Companies and businesses began making serious money from video games, discovering lots of talent in the wild indie dev and demoscene space. The best talents were like raw gems and this eventually scaled into an industry.

Now, the best innovations are being patented and presented at SIGGRAPH and the game engine market is massive. Of course, amid all the flashiness and white-collar presence, it’s hard to spot the demosceners, but they’re behind every game. They’ve just been hired by corporations and their talent no longer expresses itself in the same way.

Unfortunately, companies provide very little support for the demoscene, which is why we don’t see the same explosive growth here as we do in games, graphics or AI.

I remember one case where a guy was hired to animate King Kong’s face for a movie and he spent two years hand-animating every single emotion. I wonder what kind of demos he might have created during that time if the corporation hadn’t hired him and forced him into repetitive work.

The market.

I think any OS can be divided into a "backend" that deals with the hardware and a "frontend" user-level applications with a UI. The backend is mostly similar everywhere, while the frontend is what the general public typically perceives as the "OS". It's hard to see anything truly new in the "invisible" backend, but the frontend changes with every update (Windows, Mac, Linux etc). ACPU OS is a good example of this, where the backend can be a different OS, an emulator or actual hardware, while the frontend remains the same across all execution environments. https://www.acpul.org/blog/so-fast

ACPU OS is also good for that https://www.acpul.org/blog/so-fast

There is also ACPU OS https://www.acpul.org/blog/so-fast

I've been developing a solo ACPU OS for many years now, one that's fast and simple enough to be better than any known OS. That's why I believe all OS development problems come from overengineering and overcapitalization. https://www.acpul.org/blog/so-fast

If we lived in a perfect world, how much in funds would you want for your contribution to open source? (a companies or 3rd party players)

I want to set my open-source project afloat . What should I do to receive a relevant reward?

When the war started, I advised various public and business figures about houses for relocation and someone even replied that work was being done on it, but I don’t see any progress. I had many friends who lived in panel buildings and everyone complained, it was a real curse. In addition to poor sound insulation between walls, over time the panels start to delaminate, you constantly have to seal cracks to stop cockroaches from migrating. The lifespan is 20 years shorter than that of brick buildings, though it depends on the specific batch and some are of decent quality.

Another issue is centralized heating. Problems begin when they start repairing the pipes, going six months without hot water is normal. Insulation is a must, usually done on credit at your own expense.

These buildings are completely lacking in bomb resistance. Of course, there are many types and configurations, for example, I lived in Odessa in some fairly decent panel buildings that were apparently built for a few from the USSR Politburo, so probably elite.

Living underground is hell. It’s better to solve the problem politically with reliable air defense systems. On top of that, terrible high-tech bombs keep getting more advanced and basements could end up costing more than the houses built above them.

The outskirts of Kharkiv are a tragedy, condolences.

Résumé/CV: https://www.acpul.org/cv (Message me on LinkedIn and I will send you a resume tailored to the specific role)

Email: web3future ? protonmail ?? com !

I’m among the Top 1% of talent. For those who are too lazy to read and understand my resume, I created a project called “Resume Bubbles” using the ACPUL language which I developed myself along with the Animation CPU programming platform and OS, which I built from scratch. I can develop projects of any complexity for example, Cursor AI and I have hands-on experience with A100 and H100, Web3 AI L0, L1, L2 and EVM and Rust SOL, game development and metaverse, as well as GPU and electronics work. I was developing databases and query languages like SQL before AWS even existed. I’ve led teams, built systems from the ground up and I bring real experience. Right now, I’m looking for hourly paid work. No fluff, no brainwashing, just professionals

Great example!

80% of developers on StackOverflow are unhappy and burned out and I don’t think they are thinking about colors and the brightness of life. Bored Ape has become a symbol of an era where many people's dreams have shattered and they have turned into a grey mass. The diversity of colors is a symbol of joy and freedom. The wars have swept across the world and now entire countries like Ukraine have lost all color because the colors of war are gray and black, and there are people who impose shades of gray because they are only interested in money and don’t care about colors.

Amazing! Finally, the design of Rust is being used not only for interviews but also for bureaucratic reports, which is what it was designed for. Now, the bureaucracy within the team has improved and the bosses will be very pleased. A very useful tool.

I had an experience where a team of Rust juniors did whatever they wanted in a separate chat and the CTO, PM and I (Lead) had no idea what was going on. This tool would have helped. Now, I’ll focus on the code review to see how Rust's safety helped solve this issue. I think this will be a topic for a great new article about the power of Rust.

Unfortunately, politics is everywhere where there is more than one person and something to divide, and America is the most politicized country in the world where everything is highly regulated by laws, because the laws are strictly enforced. Politicians fight for power = control over people's lives and that’s how money and the economy are created, so everything becomes secondary to politics. If the world’s politicians would unite and stop wars and do everything for the humanity, we would have hundreds and thousands of better YCs across the planet. But until that happens, it’s better to sell a startup to politicians for big money. For now, we have the only wonder of the world, YC in the USA which is the best, as long as this forum hasn’t closed, IMHO.

The business is built on the fact that young founders have an extra 10-15 years to learn everything compared to older ones. I think this will soon change when older people start rejuvenating and extending their lives. Also, it's just a trend like TikTok and startups founded by 25-year-olds sell better. Given the startup maturation cycle of 7-10 years, the founder will be 32-35 yo and they'll need another 10 years to present a success story for the system to work

Happy Birthday, YC! I've been a regular participant in the HN community since 2012. All these years HN has inspired me and during this time I've learned a lot. I started back in the days of building FIDO, when the first point networks appeared. Of course, I’d love to see more communities and fewer bots, but progress is unstoppable. I wish the HN community to thrive and remain strong for many years to come.

I'm creating a mobile reader (iOS app) specifically for HN and if you want to join to speed up the process, you're Welcome!

For those who don't have iOS, I started a Twitch stream for the vibe.

PS: I fear that I’ll never get into YC and in the future there will be no more startups, only an AI, and I’ll have to work as a battery cell in the Matrix.
