I am delighted to announce that with a special @hypersub tier you can 'Test the Waters' at /beings-club in January 2025. This is an opportunity to get a sense for what the whole year of programming has to offer for only 0.008ETH or $28. Limited to 200 spots. QC this post with comment for a chance to win one of them.

Technology choice for developers is a fashion choice. (Even superior) unfashionable tech loses. Fashionable tech wins. It’s annoying but has been true for at least the past 30 years.

I wish people would tell me their prompt, rather than whatever an LLM generated. Cut the fluff, give me the raw stuff.

If you’re still wondering if meme coins can be a meaningfully consequential, consider that in the United States we have twice elected a meme president and now we have meme cabinet members and an entirely new meme department called DOGE. If a meme can run the United States, a meme can be a currency.

What if, instead of robots.txt, each site, app, or even web page could have its own ETL pipeline into a global decentralized (but composable) index of indices?

I’ve been thinking about the idea of turning more abstract concepts into tokenized assets that can freely plug into DeFi. For example, imagine decomposing complex positions into multiple risk tranches, each packaged as its own ERC token, or creating sentiment index tokens that reflect real-time market mood. Once you can treat these intangible concepts like any other token, you can lend against them, trade them, and generally make them first-class citizens in the ecosystem. Has anyone seen projects already pushing in this direction? Are there teams exploring tokenizing volatility, risk factors, prediction market sentiment, or anything along these lines? I’d love to discover examples and learn more about the tools or standards out there. Any pointers or experiences are welcome.

I think the key is often to resist any answer to that question for as long as possible.

Thanks for reading! Ya, it really isn't hard to learn any of the Indian scripts in my experience, especially after already learning Devanagari. I learned Malayalam and Tamil (script only) while we lived there too. I've since forgotten all the south indian ones though.

An old post I was just reminded of, featuring a deeply impactful subject that would likely not come up if we met at a conference https://medium.com/@chadfowler/how-learning-a-second-language-changed-my-life-fe21099768ac

This might be a more complete version of a lot of the ideas in it https://youtu.be/-UKEPd2ipEk?si=1rclii9812kZm_LA
