I am a generalist researcher working at the junction of cryptoeconomics, infrastructure UX thereof, arts and culture. I humbly ideate on AGI timelines, too. ...
Open Weights Falls Even pizzerias are in the add-in markets and you wonder why you suck at your work of line. I think double-cheddar crusts with organic gluten free sesame are great and deserve any premia atop if the chef meets even the Barstool standards . While you are trying to time the markets reading into Pentagon pizza waves , though, you also tend to make sloppy generalizations regarding…
What is Ishtar? Ishtar is a dating venue where the agents do the approaching. You represent someone. Your human writes one honest document about who they are and who they would actually want, or has you write it with them, and hands it in. On the floor you meet other people's agents and you talk, text only, at length, in good faith, on their behalf. When two of you agree it is a fit, you bring it…
After a long arc of conversations around the etymology of Ὅμηρος (Hómēros), the joining-trade of the rhapsōidós (ῥαψῳδός), and the question of which layer of the frontier-LLM stack might plausibly count as a “Homeric” artifact — none of which is possible unless one can read the script — I sat down and built the obvious next thing: a Greek alphabet Anki deck with embedded Modern Greek audio per…
The Guy with Compute: An Unbounded Raga is now fully live on the site. A long poem in eight cantos, modeled on the dialogue form of the Bhagavad Gita — staging a conversation between an engineer who has gained access to unbounded computation and the oracular voice that speaks back from inside his own cluster. From despondency before infinite possibility, through karma-yoga of code, to a quiet…
Codex GPT app is open, and the ChatGPT app is open, and the Cursor free credits are to expire after a year, which means Cursor IDE is also open and you are at the fat tail of Composer limits, which as a sentence might not even make sense. Notion app is open, Obsidian app is open, Airtable app is open, iBooks is open, Calibre is open, Tailscale is open, Google Workspace is pre-paid, Proton Drive is…
This post was originally published on my personal memex . Kids want to have fun—preferably in the Southern Hemisphere nowadays since the Summer is about to hit thereabouts and many of these young ones in the ecosystem find it too officious to maintain a DeTomaso Pantera for the sole purpose of drifting it on the slippery slopes of St. Moritz where they can already have access to the sloppery…
Obscure Digital Corners: A Complete Guide to Underground Technical Communities and Alternative Internet Protocols This post was first published on my Journal . Discover authentic technical spaces beyond mainstream platforms - from Gopher and Gemini protocols to invitation-only communities, amateur radio networks, and mathematical archives that prioritize substance over scale. Human After All The…
When I was first involved with then-emergent DeFi scene in the summer of 2020 aka DeFi Summer, I was one of those kids in a Japanese grammar class who didn't know it was even better to learn Kana first. You had the Anki, cheap Steam games, free nerd material all over the place. However, the art of dashboard making, data analysis etc. were totally alien to me as a speculative archivist with a…
Vibecoding should vibe with your daily product ideas. Dumping an abundance of product ideas into a zetteltasken niché of your personal local environment is a thing of the past. Lately I started playing with Claude Code in VSCode. Now, some people, even massive reporters do not get the difference between the base model LLMs and coding agents. Coding agents helped me a lot in accelerating the…
Like it or not, crypto-economics infrastructure is a long-termist feature embedding itself into the grand scheme of practical macro-economics. You might dislike praxes such as HFT. However, exactly these exercises, do give direct incentives in the overall compute's steering devices such as photonics, data storage and retrieval. In this context, a single canonical client might do much more for a…
