some of the most interesting content on reddit is often from throwaway or pseudonym accounts which are essentially “anon” to all other users: - advice posts for sensitive situations or most ask men/women posts, like what’s the best thing your ex did in bed - AITAH - NoStupidQuestions - confessions this content digs at the complexity of human nature, often with unfiltered, authentic perspectives, that appeals to millions of users. this type of content on the anon accounts doesn’t get good engagement (and none seems to have graduated to the X account), perhaps due to public likes or the flat nature of reply threads where it seems like only one person is conversing. instead, the majority of content that breaks through is the same content that’d break through without anon accounts: memes, shills, and dunks. and because anon is still relatively small, the breakthrough content risks reading as in-group. excited to watch these projects continue to iterate because i see it as a big, big opportunity.

Fun fact: the founder of Project Euler got his start with one of these. Something also seems to click in a kid's brain when you can POKE/PEEK into memory and the insides of a computer in one of it's simpler forms. Modern computers abstract away these interactions and essentially bury the core protocols that made the system transparent and accessible before. The doing process is faster but the learning process much less direct.

Might be a bit advanced if not at reading level yet but the 8 y/o and I got an ORIC Atmos setup with an old TV monitor last year. She seems to be having fun with the manual which walks you through learning BASIC by programming the Atmos from scratch. The manual itself is super accessibly written for kids and I think naturally nudges them to start messing around making simple games by the end of it. I would also bookmark the BASIC 10-liner challenge. I think regardless of age, feeling like youre part of community helps a lot with motivation/self-exploring: https://gkanold.wixsite.com/homeputerium/games-list-2024

I still think we've barely gotten to git-merge stage yet. Wondering what future avenues people are seeing for this. My thoughts are it's not enough to be a neutral presence/swarm in these cities but we need to find access points to create or have a value-positive presence. Travel and trade were great for innovation and progress because people with different knowledge sets and approaches were introduced to similar enough challenges in new contexts. How we can match-make local needs to the skillset of pop up residents better/kickstart the git-merge process a more over the next year? Cc: @timour, @vitalik.eth @vivek

This is why experiments like /edgecity are exciting to me. It's one way to increase the democratic bitrate of cities.

We kicked off Protocol Worlds yesterday. Interest was high. Members discussed key tensions in system management, like Ossification vs. Functional Escape Velocity and Acquiring vs. Operationalizing Information. Thanks to our tremendous guest speakers: @sach @rithikha @tim Time for Day II.
