PSA: don’t get your primary embodiment experiences from your spiritual practice — that is a prime pathway to institutional hacking of your psyche.

And, last but not least, we’re planning some in-person workshops focused on deriving a “grand theory” of protocols. The first one will focus on the intersection of distributed AI and blockchains 🤖

Here’s the donation page for the LA mutual aid network (the organization whose affiliated mask bloc was asked by the LA government to donate masks, in case you needed to understand why ableism is bad). Anyway, help each other out. hcb.hackclub.com/donations/star…

This is awesome. Who would think innovation was possible in teaching kids to read 200 years after it became common in the West.

A fascinating story of unblocking value when crossing borders. It’s also interesting to see this kind of deeply technical and creative hacking from India (the Indian s/w industry isn’t usually known for devs breaking things). Feels like software culture there is changing.

As I'm poking around running LLMs locally to develop a feel for how to fine-tune them for an honest research analysis pipeline, @msty_app has been pretty dang great for exploring a variety of interaction methodologies quickly. It's amazing how accessible this tech has become!

Pretty much everything that is wrong with user research tools comes down to treating a study as the only unit of work. That architectural debt based on a thin description of the job limits every single tool on the market today.
