Remember that anti AI measures like this have come into existence for a reason.
I want to be clear: technology alone CANNOT and WILL NOT save us. The only way for it to benefit society is if we cultivate the wisdom and virtue to use it correctly.
We have neglected to do that, and now reap the consequences.

“Let's say you've got horsepower and bandwidth to burn, and just want to see these AI models burn. Nepenthes has what you need:
Don't make any attempt to block crawlers with the IP stats. Put the delay times as low as you are comfortable with. Train a big Markov corpus and leave the Markov module enabled, set the maximum babble size to something big. In short, let them suck down as much bullshit as they have diskspace for and choke on it.”

Why the hell haven't we gotten rid of daylight savings yet?
Felt like dogsh*t for the past few days thanks to it.
Despite how useless it is, our stupid politicians can't agree to get rid of it.

Been thinking a lot about point 2 recently. Deep down, I still believe the technology can make the world better, but web3 is in a bad place right now and no one trusts it. Web3 needs a rebirth, but how? How do we go about that? Is it even possible?

can barely get a cast in during the day (is this what locked in feels like?) so sharing some random late night observations on my mind:
- people who have opinions > people who don't have opinions, even if their opinions differ from my own
- current trend cycles are exhausting, both in crypto but even more so outside of crypto; gen Z is starting to rebel against micro trends and instead invest in developing and defining their own, more durable personal style. i am HERE for this.
- Lena Dunham just launched a Substack, sigh. i was so excited when Pamela Anderson did it, so why does this one bore me?
- Sporty and Rich founder Emily Oderg is using OnlyFans (yes!! OF!!) as a marketing channel because she believes that's where lifestyle campaigns (getting flagged on instagram) will live. hmm.
- dating shift of online-to-offline; curated matchmaking platforms are in hot demand again. people want to feel something (like really feel) IRL again.

Haven't been casting much as of late, 1) because I've been maniacally trying to get by pinball machine working and 2) because I've honestly been feeling pretty low recently. Not about the markets, I only invest in BTC and plan to buy once it all bottoms out anyway.
Just going through some rough stuff. Job's been stressful, feeling burnt out. Trying to keep my chin up and be optimistic, but it's really hard to be sometimes.

Feel like this narrative needs to be pushed more often. Putting everything under an "industry" umbrella invites centralization/capture risk and debases the diversity that makes web3 so cool.
A "movement" would maybe be a better term for it, but not industry.

crypto is not monolithic, there is no "crypto industry":
-->Bitcoin community is focused on anti-Fed currency debasement narrative (replacing state money)
-->Ethereum community is focused on state-level-censorship-resistant compute and unbreachable agreements
-->Solana community is focused on composability and eliminating info asymmetries for HFT of RWAs, with a side order of centralized consumer apps
-->Ripple & most stablecoin operators are focused on [institutional or consumer] remittance

Pinball update:
Tried getting the curve mechanics working over the weekend and eventually gave up; the ball just isn't rolling smoothly across the curve like I want it to. Instead, it constantly ricochets off the curved object path and I have no clue how to fix it.
Finally decided to just learn Godot and rebuild it there. It's a shame throwing away all the work I've done so far, but what I'm building is apparently too complex for pure typescript, especially as I have very little dev experience, and I can't keep getting hung up on this. There's so much I have left to do. Gotta just move on.

Almost tempted to learn Godot and rebuild the entire pinball machine from there. It would be a shame considering all the work I put in to get this (mostly) working, but the process would likely be a lot smoother.
Itching to work on some other project ideas of mine. And take a break from this, but I really REALLY want to see this finished
Anyone out there with experience in Godot/mobile game dev? How good is it for web apps?

I know gaining more followers requires casting and replying more, but I'm gonna be honest, half of the time I don't even know what to cast about. Maybe it's that I'm not really a social media type of guy or I just don't have anything interesting or intellectual to talk about. Guess I could do more art and post that, idk.
This is what I love most about the culture here. Despite all of FC's flaws, I prefer the unapologetic optimism for the future compared to the rampant pessimism and nihilism so common in our world. It's a fresh breath of air for sure.
I mean...
They modeled the US after the republic/empire infamous for being a flaming dumpster fire and its ultimate collapse.

I kinda maybe get what they're trying to do: have a group of people that ensure the Foundation's actions align with cypherpunk values, holding them accountable.
The vague part to me is, to what end? It's still very unclear who we're building all of this for, and it's a question that a lot of people in web3 seem to be unwilling to answer.

Making steady but sure progress on my pinball frame. Managed to build the walls and get the bumpers working somewhat, though they do need some tweaking. Physics in general need some adjustments, but I'm getting pretty close to how I want everything to move.
As I watch the SEC dropping virtually every case they had against crypto companies, it's clear to me just how much Gensler and the democrats f**ked up. Not only did they talk down to and belittle all of the voters they needed to win, but they allowed Gary to antagonize an industry with lots of money. Lots of LOBBYING money. Money that they used to vote out the dems and kick them out of every single branch of government.
It baffles me just how tone deaf the dems really are. I don't like what republicans are doing to our country, but the democrat's humiliating defeat is deserved.

Cooked more over the weekend. Still building out the structure for my pinball table. Getting close to done, but taking longer than expected.
In the meantime. I cooked up this pachinko machine in under an afternoon. Thinking of making this into a game of its own, or even add it as a mini mission in my pinball game!

Update on my pinball machine:
I've essentially ran into a wall with getting the damn thing working. I've been using /srcbook to build which, while it is a fantastic tool, isn't the best for a complex web game that I'm trying to build. I managed to get something of a pinball table built, but I've been forced to build it out of an object path because matter.js doesn't support concave paths, and even then, my ball keeps clipping through the object path I've created. I've tried using other built in physics engines, but they don't work well either.
Is it possible to build this thing in a game engine like Godot and then import it into a frame project? I just feel like that would save me infinite amounts of time and frustration if it's at all possible. I would build this thing natively in Typescript, but there are severe limitations with what I'm trying to accomplish here.

JSYK, there are a few reasons I'm building this:
1. I want money. Hate my day job and tired of being poor; want to find a way to make a good living off web3.
2. To gain more experience developing/designing dapps.
3. Ethereum in particular needs more fun/useful content in order to drive further adoption.
4. It's fun to build stuff

Update on pinball machine:
Trying to hammer out the code for the machine in /srcbook. Running into a snag with building the walls of the table. Issue is that I can build custom shapes with vertices in typescript, but concave angles/curves don't work. Tried converting the svg of my table to an object path, but can't fet that working either. There's gotta be an easy way to do this.
Will have to keep grinding away at it this coming holiday weekend. I'll figure it out.

Hey, is there anyway to schedule your casts for a specific time of day? I tried doing it through yup, but it keeps crashing on me. Would be really nice if there was a frame that could help me do that.

So trying to follow this tutorial and I may need some help
I got as far as creating the Nextjs app and installing dependencies, but then it says to create the custom connector at 'lib/connector.ts'. Problem is that there are a chocful of different lib folders in the node_modules directory alone. Which one am I supposed to put it in? Or is there supposed to be another one that I didn't install properly? Or do I create a lib folder in the root of my project folder? I'm confused...
It also tells me to create "components/providers/WagmiProvider.tsx", but I can't find that directory either. Some clarification is much appreciated.
For context, I've never worked with Next.js before and am completely new to all of this.

Sadly he's right: most normal people really don't care about crypto.
I like many others were drawn to the space for the ideals of sovereignty and freedom that decentralization could potentially bring. However, the past few years have been disappointing to say the least; ultimately greed has won out over those ideals, like they always have. No technology can change that.
I still feel decentralizing society is a worthwhile pursuit and I think FC still has much potential in that regard, but it feels like those ideals have all but stagnated in web3. I almost want to pull back from the space a bit and explore other decentralized technologies outside of blockchain. Wise not to put all your eggs in one basket.

Was riding the tram home tonight from a get together when a crackhead sat next to me and started rambling madly.
Not wanting to be rude, I took off my headset and listened, occasionally nodding my head and going "yeah".
Couldn't understand a damn word he said. It was almost like listening to that inner voice in the pit of your Unconscious; mostly nonsense but laced with meaning.
He got off at my stop, took a left and disappeared into the night, a blunt in between his fingers...

The fact that one lunatic can easily infiltrate our government and burn all of its institutions straight to the ground signals to me that we need to build more secure and decentralized institutions, and fast. I don't foresee the Western empire surviving the next decade. We need to start building ASAP

NGL, I feel pretty worried about the current state of affairs in our world rn. Markets aside, this past month has felt apocalyptic as oligarchs burn down the old crumbling institutions to supplant them with their own power.
Moloch is on a rampage and there's so little I can do in my circumstances.
All I can really do is tinker away at my silly little pinball machine.
