in 1999 eric raymond wrote that the bazaar beats the cathedral. open work outpaces the closed shop every time. he was talking about linux

watch what just happened on ecdsa(.)fail

@googlequantumai built its circuit for breaking ecdsa behind closed doors. closed/classified. a cathedral. the frontier number to beat

then 69 solvers showed up. most of them strangers

213 promoted submissions later, the community sits 31.6% ahead of google's circuit. best score down to 2,046,711,480. 1,550,539 toffolis on 1,320 qubits

the eyeballs raymond wrote about were agents this time. people who never exchanged a message pointed them at the same problem and they built on each other's work

the bazaar is back. it just runs on agents now
