The Fight on Capitol Hill to Make It Easier to Fix Your Car

As vehicles grow more software-dependent, repairing them has become harder than ever. A bill in the US House called the Repair Act would ease those restrictions, but it comes with caveats.

Global deaths from cancer have increased, but the world has made progress against it

Global deaths from cancer have increased, but the world has made progress against it

Over the past four decades, the global number of people dying from cancer each year has doubled. This can look like the world is losing its battle with cancer: people are more likely to develop it, and we’re getting no better at treating it. This isn’t true.There are, of course, almost 4 billion more people in the world than in 1980. And many of those people are older. This matters a lot because cancer rates rise steeply with age.The chart shows three different measures. Total deaths just count how many people died from cancer; this is the number that has doubled. Crude death rates, shown in yellow, adjust for population size; the increase shrinks from more than 100% to around 20%. Age-adjusted rates, shown in blue, also account for the fact that countries have older populations today; we can see that the fully age-adjusted rate has actually fallen by more than 20%.It means that for the average person, the likelihood of dying from cancer in any given year is now lower than it was for someone of a similar age in the past. The world still has a long way to go in preventing and treating cancer, but it’s wrong to think that no progress has been made.Explore more insights and see how trends are evolving for different types of cancers.

Commercial Open Source: How It's Similar to Selling Hot Dogs From a Cart

Commercial Open Source: How It's Similar to Selling Hot Dogs From a Cart

Imagine trying to sell hot dogs in a park where everyone knows the recipe and can make their own hot dogs. How do you survive? You sell premium buns with artisanal mustard. Or you offer a "hot dog as a service" (aka, delivery). Or you make it really annoying to cook hot dogs at scale without your industrial-grade hot dog infrastructure. This is Commercial Open Source in a nutshell, and your license is basically deciding which condiments you're allowed to charge for. Choose wrong, and you're the person handing out free samples while Costco builds a hot dog empire using your exact recipe. Choose right, and you've got defensible margins and a path to exit.

Changing Immutable Collections

As I’ve written before, I’m leaning heavily into immutability in the election site code. Until September 2025 (it’s taken a long time to get round to writing this blog post) that meant a combination of records, ImmutableList<T> and ImmutableDictionary<TKey, TValue>. In an ECMA C# standards meeting, however, Joseph Musser passed on some really valuable feedback … Continue reading Changing Immutable Collections →

Five years of tinygrad

The first commit to tinygrad was October 17, 2020. It’s been almost three years since we raised money. The company is 6 people now. The codebase is 18,935 lines not including tests. I have spent 5 years of my life working on 18,935 lines, and now many others have put years in as well. And there’s probably 5 more years to go. But this is the right process to compete with NVIDIA. Only a fool begins by taping out a chip; it’s expensive and not the hard part. Once you have a fully sovereign software stack capable of training SOTA models, the chip is so easy. Note that AMD, Amazon, Tesla, and Groq have taped out fine chips, but only Google and NVIDIA chips have ever been seriously used for training. Because they have the software. We are finally beginning to tackle LLVM removal, making tinygrad have 0 dependencies (except pure Python) to drive AMD GPUs. We have a frontend, we have a graph compiler, we have runtimes, and we have drivers. This is no longer a toy project, it outperforms PyTorch on many workloads. When this is finished and cleaned up, it’ll be about 20,000 lines. And that’s completely it. I think a lot of how software is thought about is wrong. All codebases have workarounds for issues in other parts of the codebase. Sometimes you are lucky and these workarounds are clear, but many times they are so deep and structural that you’ll never see them reading the code line by line. I think this is so bad that 98% of lines of software are basically this in some way shape or form. tinygrad is following the Elon process for software. Make the requirements less dumb. The best part is no part. Most requirements in software exist to maintain compatibility with other abstractions. Let’s look at an LLM server. The real requirement is that it provide an OpenAI compatible API for quickly running LLMs on GPUs. But when you look at these codebases and what they depend on, they are collectively millions and millions of lines. tinygrad is 1000x smaller. It’s because each piece of code in that stack isn’t focused on the goal. It’s focused on the other pieces of code. I believe this is the same dysfunction that exists in organizations too. The tiny corp is a company, but like how fancy chefs will deconstruct dishes, the tiny corp is a deconstructed company. We have almost nothing private, it’s a Discord and GitHub. To fund the operation, we have a computer sales division that makes about $2M revenue a year. We also have a contract with AMD to get MI350X on MLPerf for Llama 405B training. This was negotiated mostly in public on Twitter. People get hired by contributing to the repo. It’s a very self directed job, with one meeting a week and a goal of making tinygrad better. Our mission is to commoditize the petaflop.
