Most likely imaginary? I'm not certain if there were any options to short $RDDT today.

Now that Reddit is a public company, will information about the "maxwellhill" account be released?

I'm not sure. The last time I tried using it, I had a similar experience.

Nobody was ever able to coalesce a coherent UX/UI around ssb, the core contributors at the time weren't interested in scaling the network without outside funding.

I was working on implementing lighting fast discovery for ssb using a distributed BitTorrent-like tracker. Getting onto the ssb network took way too long. Still, there were not many users on the network, and nobody seemed interested in growing.

Secure Scuttlebutt Consortium on Github: https://github.com/ssbc

ssb/ssbc is a fun and cool project built on solid code by smart people.

It's a fair reaction, and I appreciate your offer of coffee.

Keep up the excellent work, creating value with your ReTool company. I am confident you will find continued success with your sustainable approach.

Hello armini. You know how long I've been working on this!

What game project are you working on?

Yantra is ready. I've been onboarding developers slowly. Ready to accelerate.

Please let me know if anyone has any questions about Sutra.js, or why JavaScript game development in 2024 is a smart idea.

Sutra.js part of Yantra / Mantra / Sutra, there is a dev blog here: https://marak.com/blog/2024-01-11-yantra-mantra-sutra

I've spent approximately 13 months with WebGPU + WASM + CSS + JavaScript, building high-performance gaming solutions that run in browser. It's possible to run graphics at Nintendo64 level quality on a potato. JavaScript as an orchestration layer for WASM is exceptionally performant.

I think what the people at thanks.dev and Front End Masters are doing is great, and I appreciate what they are doing. I made it on this list and got $5 for something. Great.

I've spoken with armini about Thanks.dev numerous times—a great person to talk with and knowledgeable about open-source economics.

The brass tax here is that the peak of open-source software written by humans has already passed us. The following steps we'll be seeing are things like LLMs, which are trained on the entire NPM registry and can solve any known domain problem through curated APIs.

The next few years of open-source will be unglorified janitorial positions with minimal pay. Most of the intelligent maintainers have already offloaded their projects to others.

Anecdotally, I have found that open-source projects with overly abundant funding have perverse incentives for their user base and ultimately harm society.

Time loop logic is a hypothetical system of computation that exploits the Novikov self-consistency principle. In this system the computer is able to send the result of a computation backwards through time and rely upon the self-consistency principle to force the sent result to be correct.

I've written about this before. Instantaneous data transfer with zero lag is theoretically possible through use of quantum entanglement. You can use this same technique to build a doomsday clock similar to the film "Tomorrowland".
