Collective Efficacy Framing
Matt Webb published a piece arguing that people can "just do things" to improve their communities.
A community can bootstrap a shared public-good project by organizing collectively, producing needed infrastructure, then securing subsidies and redistributing costs so lower-income participants are included.
Small collective projects can escalate into sustained political engagement such as contacting representatives and tracking legislation to embed the change into building requirements.
Training Cost And Time Compression Versus A Fixed Capability Metric
In 2019, GPT-2 training reportedly used 32 TPU v3 chips for 168 hours at about $8 per TPU v3-hour, totaling roughly $43,000.
With recent improvements merged into nanochat (many originating from modded-nanogpt), a higher CORE score than GPT-2 can be reached in about 3.04 hours for roughly $73 on a single 8xH100 node.
The cost to train a GPT-2-level model is claimed to have fallen by about 600× over seven years, corresponding to an approximate 2.5× reduction per year.
Reverse Engineering Boundaries And Tooling Workflow
The target binary is a DirectX 8.1 Visual Studio 2003 (VC++ 7.1 SP1) build that relies on grim.dll (Grim2D) whose interface is an 84-method vtable exposed via GRIM__GetInterface.
Crimsonland’s release lineage includes a 2002 freeware prototype series, a 2003 shareware v1.8–v1.9 line, and a GOG “classic” build v1.9.93 from Feb 2011 that became a bonus alongside the 2014 remaster.
Crimsonland assets are stored in custom PAQ archives with magic 'paq\0' and entries consisting of filename, size, and payload, using Windows-style backslash paths.
