Would anyone be interested in creating a Space Coast Hacker House?

The idea is to assemble a small group of talented folks. Even digital nomads who want to do a short stint would be welcome. And then solicit contracts, or start New Space ventures.

Main benefit is of course proximity to rocket launches ;) For which we could host viewing parties, outdoor BBQs, photo shoots, etc.

Region is known for relatively cheap rents (compared to South Florida). Great weather. Year round golf, tennis, scuba. Not sure about high speed internet availability. And it may be a cultural backwater. But that only leaves more time for building ;)

This has potential. In peer brokering at scale, its the individual state of each peer that has to be mediated. The classic "LimeWire" problem. Just wondering as a peer, how much of my metadata gets leaked? Simply determining when or where I am chatting may be enough to de-anonymize me ;)

~70% participation rate in $1M angel round for serial founder with strong network doesn't strike me as an extreme outlier. Nor the "ask" set of 40+.

Bootstrapping the first company as a nobody may be the more interesting tale here ;)

But thanks for sharing, rand! Am also currently researching Carta, CapShares, TrueEquity, etc. and this is insightful.

For most WebGL a 4x4 matrix multiply is all thats needed. GLSL will implement the basics. But all the 3D libraries include matrix ops: threejs, babylon, etc. Then there are standalone math libs like glMatrix and math.gl from Uber. There is even a WebAssembly accelerated library: glmw.

Just really curious what sort of simulations or applications one would build with an in-browser BLAS implementation ;)

Hire someone specifically for the role. Otherwise it will morph into an all-day time suck.

The good thing is you actually don't need someone with an engineering background for this. And that community building skill they acquire can translate into onboarding new users as well.

In short, its the perfect entry-level position for a candidate with a liberal arts background who wants to get into tech. Best of luck!
