Nancy Lynch's Distributed Algorithms is the kind of book where you read one page, stare at the wall for 10 minutes, and come back smarter.

Genuinely one of the best things you can read if you work in distributed systems.

Elon is good at managing money.

Government is bad at managing money.

Why would we take Elon’s earned wealth and give it to government to squander?

Exactly how does that make sense?

[yashaswi. @pixperk]

i broke down facebook's TAO paper and how they built a cache architecture for a massive, highly interconnected social graph.

covered:
• why a simple key-value cache like memcached wasn't enough
• TAO's storage and caching layers
• the multi-tier leader/follower cache hierarchy
• cross-region master/slave replication for global scale

the writeup is out. link is in the comments.

If you are early in your career and want to get a broad overview of various systems fundamentals you should read everything we post on the @PlanetScale blog and follow @BenjDicken.

The commies are right, we should take Elons trillion dollars to finally solve hunger in Africa.

Oh, wait, $2.6 trillion has already been thrown at Africa in foreign aid since 1960 & people are still hungry.

The commies are right, we should take Elons trillion dollars & solve homelessness.

Oh, wait, hundreds of billions have already been thrown at homelessness & the homeless population has only grown exponentially.

New York alone spent $81K per homeless person per year & the homeless population exploded.

Not having enough money is never the problem.

The commies who want to manage the money are the problem because they always find a way for that money to land in their own back pockets.

Thats the ONLY reason they want Elon’s money- to funnel it right back into their campaigns & pockets.

There ain’t a single genuine thought of good deeds behind the “tax the rich” movement.

Spending time learning graphs and networking theory is one of the highest-ROI investments you can make. It quietly compounds across distributed systems, AI, infrastructure, markets, and even social dynamics.

Solid starters: Barabási – Network Science; Easley/Kleinberg – Networks, Crowds, and Markets; MIT – Math for CS; Diestel – Graph Theory; Kleinberg/Tardos – Algorithm Design; Spielman – Spectral Graph Theory; Roughgarden AGT; CS224W; NetworkX, Gephi, SNAP, PyG.

If the US confiscated 100% of Elon's $1 trillion, it would still be $38 trillion in debt.

The US has a SPENDING and CORRUPTION problem.

Elon’s wealth isn’t yours

Nor is it the government’s

It never will be

[Tony Lane 🇺🇸 @TonyLaneNV]

On the same day Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in human history New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani announced he wants to tax billionaires like Musk to fund his agenda.

Here is what that argument misses entirely. Elon Musk did not inherit a trillion dollars. He built Zip2 from scratch. He reinvested into PayPal. He bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX when both were on the verge of collapse.

He slept on factory floors. He nearly went bankrupt in 2008. He kept building when the world laughed at him. That is not luck. That is capitalism working exactly as intended.

The idea that the moment someone succeeds the government’s first instinct should be to take more of what they earned is exactly why entrepreneurs leave high tax states and cities in the first place. New York is already losing residents faster than almost any state in America.

Threatening to tax the people who create jobs and drive innovation is not a solution. It is the problem. Congratulations to Elon Musk. The first trillionaire. Built not given.

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

Every dollar Elon Musk has made is traceable. Every product sold, every service rendered, every government contract awarded, every share of stock bought or sold. It’s all on the record.

You, on the other hand, haven’t built a company, invented a product, or created anything people willingly pay for. You’ve spent the last 14 years collecting a $174,000 Senate salary.

Yet somehow you managed to buy a luxury D.C. condo, a $4 million Victorian mansion in Cambridge, and saw your net worth balloon by 150% to $12 million. Everyone knows where Musk’s money came from. The same can’t be said for yours.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

[signüll @signulll]

you're telling me anthropic & google are paying spacex ~$26b a year for compute?!!

this is more than half the run rate of openai & anthropic just from compute deals & that doesn't even factor in the rocket launches at all.

elon accidentally ended up owning a significant portion of three of the scarcest assets in ai.. power, chips, & physical deployment capability. the best lesson here is that if you’re selling picks & shovels during a gold rush, you don’t necessarily need to find the gold. you just need everyone else to keep digging. & also non software elon is pretty much unstoppable, like prime michael jordan type thing.

The future of software is headless, and today, we shipped the Razorpay CLI :)

The CLI gives you full control over Razorpay from the terminal. Payments, subscriptions, refunds, webhooks, routes, customers, settlements, account management - all accessible without leaving your terminal.

The real reason we built it is the next layer: AI agents need a native way to interact with financial infrastructure. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex - and whatever comes next - can now integrate with Razorpay workflows directly from the terminal.

Thus, the financial primitives are now exposed directly to developers, automations, and AI agents that can orchestrate workflows in real time.

We believe AI pushes engineering closer to the center of every organization, because the systems engineers build become the foundation every other team and agent operates on.

The CLI is one step toward making that future real.

If you are a Razorpay customer, give it a shot :)

ape saw problem.
ape built something useful.
ape happy.

[vixhaℓ @TheVixhal]

I rarely talk about where I work, so here's a random fact:

I'm an AI Engineer at HydraDB.

If you've followed me for a while, that probably explains why I'm constantly posting about agent memory, retrieval, context engineering, and AI infrastructure.

One thing I've learned is that building capable agents is often less about the model itself and more about how effectively you can store, organize, and retrieve context. That's the problem space HydraDB is focused on.

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

Combining deep math theory with practical implementation leads to many cool things.

This is the heart-and-soul of computer science and engineering.

AWSs latest blog is a beautiful example, describing and visualizing the transformation from tree-based networks to pseudo-random graphs in their DCs.

Props to @ratulm and the other authors (who need to get on X dot com ASAP)
