okay now is as good as time as ever okay last couple days six weeks give me the
highlights
Napplets, FIPS, runtimes, Shell, more FIPS, more Napplets, more Shells. You'll have to speak
it to the microphone. Sorry. So six weeks we got Napplets, we got
NIPlets, we got more Napplets, we got runtimes, we got shells, we got OS level
stuff which shells, we got FIPS, we got more FIPS, FIPS over audio. Lots of
Zazafication or beautification of projects so all of our sad little projects
are now beautified. Sad little nerd UIs. Yes, now now become beautified yeah and
good friends, better friendships, sponsors, jams, beautiful walks. Very musical that's
very musical this time. We had lots of jams, we basically have a band within the
cohort now and wonderful barbecues lots of meat and being out with friends and
thankfully the last week is just about being together rather than the
intensity that you know we came from so it's been good. Very wonderful. Awesome,
awesome. You'll have to pick the next person.
Six weeks, last couple days, give me the highlights go. Highlights, FIPS,
Totem, Totem. So much Totem. Marmot's working, that's a highlight even though
that's not technically part of the cohort. We're on a pirate ship. We had a long
you know from NIPlet for two marmot kinda. Yeah that's true. We went on a
journey today. There's another flying fish, that's a highlight. Oh yeah it is a
flying fish. Amazing looking. We saw whales. We saw whales just now. Yeah
yeah honestly yeah I think the biggest highlight is definitely FIPS and
Totem. I think FIPS just has so much potential. Yeah. Tell me your highlights.
Flying Fish? Two. Two flying fish. What else to be
serious? Lots of flying fish. You'll have to pick the next person.
Balazs. Balazs. Let's go. Six weeks, last couple days, SEC-08. You have to call the
microphone to your mouth otherwise it won't work. Give me your highlights.
The highlights. Pain. Pain. Great answer. But the nice view.
At the end. Yeah. Why was it painful? No I'm just joking but I guess the last
cohort can't be very painful. The last two weeks had a different pace from
yeah older cohorts. Yeah I need to put a bit more stress on the okay. But I
it's more pain in the last two weeks. Yeah yeah yeah. That's compared to the
you also you're a rare individual you participated in the first cohort. Like
how would you contrast SEC-01 with SEC-08?
Actually it's a bit similar because I think it's the most similar to SEC-01
in terms of trying to figure things out all over again. But the SEC-01 was just
different because everything was new. Everyone was new. It was no structure at
all. Yeah. Since I've been on multiples now it feels yeah there's a rhythm to it
now. Yeah in terms of demo day things you saw or general projects what were the
highlights for you. Totem. Totem. Nice. You'll have to pick the next person.
Okay. Oh man that's lazy. Okay.
Same. Let's go. Same question. Last couple days six weeks you will repeat
guests here as well and you know more than a guest. What were your highlights for
SEC-08? So my highlights were like this time I think UI/UX
So shout out to Zaza.
Exactly. He helped, I think, everyone. He did a workshop and also helped
individual people and projects to be very, very nice.
Nice. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Polish on UI/UX.
Exactly.
If Zaza is around.
Exactly. And I think that's like the biggest part which was missing.
Okay.
Like the first two seconds impression, first impression.
Yeah.
If it looks like console application, people would never use it.
Yeah.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
What's, what, give me a quick update from the Nostr Office.
Yeah. I think it works quite good. So some people stay there and often
evening or weekend some people also work there. So it's nice to gather there.
The Nostr Office is famous for the first institution to do Quake III overfibs, right?
That's true.
It was the first like, long party overfibs.
Yeah.
So some joined from the internet.
Yeah.
It will be in the history books one day.
Exactly.
All right. You'll have to pick the next person. Don't be lazy.
I picked Julian.
Julian. All right. I'll interrupt. I'll come back to you. Don't worry.
Julian, you were chosen.
I have been elected. Yes.
We are in the last couple days.
Okay. I vote we throw yo overboard.
Sorry.
I'm not sure how this is about.
Soon. Soon.
But reflecting back on the last six weeks, what were some of your highlights?
Or what surprised you? Or what did you especially like?
You know, we always say like, oh, yeah, you're going to get all these ideas on the walk and whatever.
And but actually getting on the walk one morning and with HZRD, we just like Jen on this idea.
And by midway through the walk, we were like, wait, this is actually gigantic idea.
It totally happened. And we didn't even have to change the idea.
We were right the first time and we just executed on it. And it's an amazing idea.
And so it's like, you think like, oh, it's romantic. You guys go on walks and you think you have like Jesus ideas.
But it's true. It's all true. It's all true.
No, it actually works. I love the bro science explanation. Like left foot, right foot, left brain, right brain.
This is how it works. I'm convinced. Incredible. All right.
Yeah, man. The quality of just people around here has been pretty awesome.
And I've learned so much and so tired. My brain is so tired.
Oh, yeah. I'm going to lock myself up my apartment and not leave and just know no people for the next like three months.
That's going to be my agenda. Yeah. So, so give me your top three in terms of like projects and stuff you saw or ideas you you heard and so on.
My top three favorite project that I saw. This is going to be unfair. But let's see.
Oh, that's fine. We can be unfair. Yeah. Yeah.
So I so okay. Like the things I really liked. One was Rahul built this thing where you can stream in tiles of a map of the different scales as you as you scroll over it.
Yeah. So this sounds silly. But when you see it, it's like you're going to random parts in the map and zooming in fast and the tiles of the map gets streamed in in a way that you are zooming into a map with like extra smooth, like perfect span into things much better than Google Maps or any other map you've seen.
And it's this weird way where like Blossom is actually the better technology and yields the better UX.
Yeah. And I just think that's because if you do that worldwide for any mapping tile is just just amazing.
And you can like overlay with all sorts of stuff. I thought this was a very, very, very cool thing.
Much better than what we have otherwise. I loved seeing Zaz's UX stuff.
Oh, wow. So that's awesome.
Yeah. I mean, yeah, I mean, like teaching us how to look and think about UX and how, yeah, sure, like AI helps you do some tooling better.
But mostly like it gives you an ability to build websites that aren't just like the other client who made this, but that is really like riveting, riveting, engaging UX.
Yeah. And I think that's very much awesome.
And, and let's pick a last one.
Look around here. Who's around here? Cool projects that you guys do. NFTs don't count. So Breno is out.
Not there. There's others. Five weeks. This looks just fun.
I feel like Thomas did something ridiculous. Oh, yeah. So no, no.
The thing that is cool because he also doesn't get how big this is, but I do. It's the e-mail. The e-mail, Phipps thing.
So basically, he says it's just like an e-mail for your agent, right, that you register over Phipps and you get your own little e-mailing inbox and whatever.
But you can just use it as an e-mail proxy for anything. And it just runs on Phipps. So it's this like secret kind of door where your agents get to connect.
That's not the Internet that they get a whole like e-mail addressing service for them behind. And I would use this as an e-mail proxy service like any day.
I'll happily pay for it. And agents are just like a happy accident.
that they can also use it too.
- Yeah.
- And I think this should be developed.
- Awesome.
- It will be.
It will be.
I have a notebook with like a whole page of things
I have to follow up on after this cohort.
And it's...
- Fantastic.
- Great answers.
- Thank you, TGG.
- Oh, you're very welcome.
Thanks for coming.
You'll have to pick the next person.
- Excellent.
Yeah.
I picked Breno.
- Is that fair?
- That's fair.
- Yeah.
- That's fair.
- Okay.
- I've been targeted.
- Yes.
So same question.
Six weeks, how was it for you?
Reflected back on it.
What stood out?
Repeat answer is not allowed.
You were in the ear shot,
so it's gonna be harder for you.
- It's okay because I easily forget everything.
So I don't even remember what he said.
First question.
Six weeks, what was better for me?
- Yeah.
What kind of, what surprised you about kind of
sovereign engineering, the whole thing, the whole process?
What surprised you in terms of projects?
What were the good and the bad things?
Tell me about it.
- Tell me about the projects.
I was kind of surprised when I came here.
I heard a lot like,
oh, I've been to a sovereign engineer
and it's a lot of Nostr, not so much on Bitcoin.
And then I knew it was kind of broad,
but I had no idea how broad it was
and how deep it was.
I had no idea like,
we're reinventing the whole internet infrastructure.
- Yeah.
- It was very, very surprising for me.
When my family's asking like,
so what you're doing there?
Like, yeah, like,
reinventing the internet from first principles.
That seems like...
- Yeah, that's a fair answer.
That's a fair answer.
But you know, we already scoped it down
because we're not starting with fix the money, fix the world.
Like we assume the money is fixed.
We're not in the business of fixing the world,
but I think we can fix the internet or parts of the internet.
- So that's the goal.
- Yeah, yeah, that part was not clear on the website,
but the website is very unclear,
but it's like, you know,
we rely on word of mouth mostly.
- But it's a very worthy goal of pursuing
and I was very glad to like be exposed to everything.
I was positively very, very much surprised.
- Awesome, awesome.
Give me your top three projects
of like demo day stuff you saw.
- Yeah, the memory part is the...
(laughing)
I actually really like the whole nostalgia thing
that Whisper's doing.
- Yeah, data science stuff.
- Yeah, I'm biased, I'm biased.
(laughing)
- He's doing data engineers with like the base
for doing data science part.
- I retract the science part, it's data stuff.
Data stuff.
- Hardcore data.
- Hardcore data stuff, yeah.
Yeah, that's nice.
I really like it.
It's like even because like a noster is...
Like everything is so, it's very localized.
So it's really hard to understand
what's going on over there.
So having someone that's okay,
this is more or less what's going on.
It's, I think it's very useful
and it's really, really interesting project.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Like, all, maybe it's a nozz,
not the best sensor, but like FIPs is amazing in general.
Like it's like, I know that it's been going for a while.
It just, it didn't start right now,
but it's like, it was my first contact with it.
- Yeah, yeah.
- And yeah.
- Here is FIPs, you know, staring out into the ocean,
thinking about all the, you know,
like vulnerability reports that are being sent in right now.
(laughing)
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- There's a, that's worth it.
- That's worth it.
- That's worth it, yeah, great, basically.
(laughing)
All right, and number three.
- Um, number three.
Let's try to remember.
Let's, well, I like Just Works.
- Just Works?
- Yeah, his website was,
it was, I think it's a really good idea,
like, especially like,
the idea overall is really nice.
It's a very nice way to build stuff,
but with, even like now with Zaza implementing more stuff
and making it more beautiful,
it's like, it's becoming really amazing.
I think it's-
- Hmm, things are coming together, right?
- Yeah, I think it's a good way to like,
to make onboard people.
- Awesome, awesome.
Okay, last question.
Who should be next in terms of holding the microphone?
You have to pick the next person.
- Yeah, why not?
- Yeah, in the best case outside of the earshot,
because I have to come up with new-
questions otherwise okay okay so let's see let's see so yeah
a HZRD let's go
HZRD last couple days week six eighth cohort you've been a repeat guest give
me your your highlights or like before I before I asked you that how seasick
are you right now okay okay okay all right good so what were what were the
highlights for you I don't want you throwing up on the microphone you know
like I have to protect my gear that's why I'm asking
my brain's not working right now it's I'm not I'm not remembering anything like
what did you work on what did you work on give me give me some things that you
worked on in the last six weeks mostly kind of ridiculous demos let me see
the
hips making pong in the web browser then making it go over tips that was
interesting all right it's completely useless but it worked oh in the nix
packages putting nix packages on there we go there we go what what next putting
that on there like on some sort of like folder structure on top of blossom
like distribution and whatnot yeah that was really interesting barely worked but
very promising
yeah I don't remember anything else was there something that surprised you like
having having gone through a couple of cohorts already like any any anything
that was different anything that was better anything it was worse not really
no the one time this this time around just like I had the feeling going into
this but it was we're finally gonna get things to work together like yeah piece
all the pieces there was a lot of pieces we're missing and now we have
enough to actually start connecting yeah and we've actually started doing in
like hacky demos start connecting things but like actually connecting them in
like a meaningful way yeah yeah we have enough building blocks now that you can
actually have fun playing with the LEGO bricks and build something that
resembles a you know a thing a castle or whatever well it's starting to look
like the it's starting to look like where we want to go yeah and not like
because a year ago we were talking about where we want to be or what type of
tech we want to have yeah and there was always missing gaps like well we're
gonna we're gonna have something like this but we don't know how it's gonna
be made yeah and now it's doesn't there doesn't seem to be many missing gaps
yeah at least not to get to where we were talking about last year yeah yeah
one thing I was new was also Jonathan paired everyone up but there was a week
of like basically doing stuff together and like pair programming and like
coming up with the thing how was it for you kind of good yeah it was good good
idea really good idea I worked with what did I do
you're running on little sleep we have to explain yeah
no I think I worked with Julian on the next packages maybe that week yeah yeah
that was that week yeah yeah because a lot of people really seem to seem to
like it like they're pairing up and kind of leaning more into collaboration
type of stuff no the the different structures for the weeks this time was
really good yeah it was really awesome like especially the you know honestly
the one I had the most fun with was the
least on Monday I don't remember what happened that week but the was same
which we could say we should yeah like all the the one minute demos yeah I
liked that a lot yeah yeah that was that was to get serious yes yeah it was
boy you definitely couldn't do it for every single idea but yeah brought up a
whole bunch of different new ideas yeah and also made the discussion after the
demos a lot more interesting yeah because you couldn't explain everything
yeah awesome awesome yeah I like it I like it someone also brought up the idea
like start with six minutes in the first week yeah and then like five minutes
four minutes treatments that's I like that I like that progression all right
who should be the next person you have to pick has she's just gone preferably
out of your shot oh 600 billion oh my lord I hate you for that but also thank
you
I'm gonna regret this but you were chosen what so Felix last couple days week six
how was summer engineering for you I want to hear the highlights well there are
a lot of highlight basically was really great a lot of code people and what the
ship now is obviously a highlight the demos we are literally shipping right now
yeah and you're all in
Everything was great. I would say at the good time. Give me your top three in terms of like projects or things yourself or stuff
That's obvious. It's like Netflix
hypergate
And there we go. There we go. Sandwich wins
Great that but everyone
Awesome. Awesome. Any last words before you select the next person?
No, thank you for having me. Oh, of course. Pleasure. Pleasure. You brought a lot of like good energy, you know
And I mean I knew that I knew that that would happen. So
Who should who should be next? Preferably out of your shot, but okay, I'll make an exception
Out of your shot, but it's fine. Well, we are big fans of exceptions
So same question six weeks looking back reflecting about it. How was it for you?
So for me was different from just to normal
SCC let's say because it was my first SCC and I haven't been in the Bitcoin nostril world since like less than six months
Yeah, so it's like I'm going through a mind fuck anyways. Yeah, and now I'm on SCC and it's like
It just rankings from the fire hose. Yeah, like it but it really convinced me that this is the right path
I love it. It's like I don't know what's gonna happen from my life or now on but I know that this is the right path
I do an extent have found my people and and that is the
The craziest discovery for me. So you've been properly radicalized now
You can say that all right. We'll have robes next year. Oh
Yeah, I'll start to changing the prayers. Yeah, what we're what we're the top three things for you like it doesn't have to be projects
Also kind of you know interactions or things that happen in last six weeks. I mean I got a pouch for e-cash man
I mean, there's been so many e-cash projects and
like
Starting the first week with my housemate doing granola was like already like holy shit e-cash is capable of so much more than I thought
Yeah, it's you know, it has its own properties and trade-offs and everything like that
But the things that it enables is crazy like anyone can be a bank. Yeah, that's an interesting idea
Yeah, so that was and again, there's not a specific demo. I mean there's lots of specific demos that were part of this
Napplets for sure
But I'm looking to see how that solidifies in the outside world to some extent
And then as you see itself
That's the third thing. It's like I'm understanding that as you see it was designed a very specific way
To achieve a specific outcome and I'm still trying to understand how that affects all the people who took part in it
I think that's a pretty
And you know as somebody who might be interested in community building and all this kind of stuff
It's very interesting from an observations point of view
But yeah, I actually look forward really a lot to seeing the last demos that come out this week
Yeah, I think everyone's gonna double their effort. It's gonna be interesting me too me too me too awesome
Those are awesome answers. Thanks for all that you'll have to pick the next person. Oh man, okay
Yo, I picked you all right
All right, all right, so on this boat trip what were the top three things that you saw?
The whales see the whales
Swimming jumping from the boat
How was the cake
Was good as well. Yeah, those are fantastic top trees. Yeah. Yeah, all right any last words before you pick the next person
No
This guy
Just say Jesus Jesus
All right, Jesus you were chosen you are the chosen one you are the chosen one. I can hear you
All right last couple days
Looking back at the you're still a captain. So first of all O captain my captain
Last last six weeks. How was it for you? You are the like I'll have your Jesus after all I have to give a proper
Intro you're the person who spent the most time at sovereign engineering out of all the people in the world
It's crazy out of all the people in the world more than me definitely more than Pablo. No more than me more than me
I was absent like a couple weeks on song through and now it's you are the number one Jesus number one like top
participant like you are sovereign engineering
That's that's how it is, you know, I feel further. Yeah, and so how was it for you this one?
And what were some of the highlights? So I haven't been able to participate the whole thing
I have been used here for three weeks
but so far I have been amazing like I meet with friends or friends and I think
the highlight for me this cohort was taught them because you know
taught them was something that we this queued it in the third cohort yeah and
now we are in the eighth cohort and now it's it came back from the then
totem was revived to be honest never did we never die to be honest it was like
an exploration yeah and now that we have fifths we have not let's on this kind of
architecture where you can basically have a camera runtime some some was
perfect like at the right time to build it and nice real yeah awesome awesome
summer life awesome awesome next person push a bit you
me oh my god all right how look at you are there the creator of this and it's
amazing to have you here so hold those fees for you to yeah I'm glad that I
was able to make it so we are on the happy path the happy path for me for
this cohort was being able to participate in the first week and maybe being able
to participate in the last week and you are here so the the happy path worked
out you know like it there is the saying of like a smooth scene never made a
skilled sailor and so so you know like you shouldn't wish for a smooth team so
and my wish was granted I had some rough seas it's not a reason in that
world and I'm very glad that sovereign engineering is like driving even when
I'm not here most of the time again you you tell me that I have been
participating in all of them and yeah every time there is new people new ideas
every time is so intense yeah it's fucking great yeah no it's working and
as long as it keeps working we're gonna keep doing it and I'm glad that new
people are coming in like fantastic people also like Jonathan and so on and
I'm glad that we have lots of repeat participants like that's that's a really
good mix like it's a good signal from both sides I'm glad that it's still
evolving you know like and lots of people have like new ideas and I think now is
the right time to you know like get it global like there is no global but that
soon will be you know like sovereign engineering global will be a thing
look at global and exactly local global and will will branch out and try some
some run some different experiments like that's the plan and and kind of yeah
see where we can take it next and we will will obviously remain in Medera and do
the six-week thing or some very end of it but we are currently thinking about
like doing you know like five days on a mountain hub kind of idea or whatever
like your sandwich is gonna do three months in the jungle so three months in
Vietnam that's gonna be interesting as well I can see you sign up
we'll see you know like it might it might self-terminate
people it was feasible we'll see we'll see I go so it's it's it's the exploration
is going on and that's what I like as well and again like it it it keeps
working and as long as it keeps working we're just gonna continue and like new
awesome stuff comes out of it and that's that's that's to me like the main
reason of doing it like that's a cool shit so thank you so much and now I'll
pick the next one me sandwich very easy I don't want to walk I don't want to walk
too far all right so Naplettes was mentioned like a gazillion times yeah
totem was mentioned correct so you are not allowed to name those two outside of
outside of Naplettes and totem what were some of the highlights for you
seeing everyone again something that has you excited on the on the project side
yeah just seeing everyone adopt all this stuff yeah really magical yeah really
great to see yeah yeah yeah no I'm glad that the Naplettes stuff kicked off
because when we when we talked in the first week it was still kind of you know
like pre-naplet explosion in some sense yeah and and now you know like everyone
and a dog has built like 15 Naplettes that's yep and you know life in a couple
clients and so on that's really cool yeah and and there's people making them
outside of the cohort yeah just random people what a different six weeks makes
yeah you know like different world now yes yeah what's what's next for you talk
to me about Vietnam a little bit well it was just ad hoc it was just three of
us wanting to come together and go to Vietnam yeah and live together and build
yeah well we'll have to we'll have to find the right you know name and and yeah yeah
that's all but it's I think it's a good idea it needs a pilot for sure yeah I
can tell that's that's the pilot program yeah yeah it's like SECO one all over again
(laughter)
Drawing the guinea pigs through the meat grinder.
Kind of idea.
Awesome.
What's the time frame on that?
Like the...
Winter.
Yeah.
Ok.
So November to February's kind of.
Awesome.
You'll have to pick the next person.
Ballash.
No, we already had him.
The fool is shrinking.
There is still balloon ball...
There's balloon ball...
Whisker is good.
(laughter)
No, we had him.
Alright.
I told you, I told you I would come back.
I'm glad you did.
So, I'll pull the same trick that I just did with sandwich.
What were some highlights for you of the last six weeks?
Both in terms of projects, just and in terms of like general things that happened.
And you're not allowed to mention that let's or tow them.
Ok. Easy. Easy.
I'll tell you one area where a vast horizon opened to me.
And I'm still...
The implications are yet to play out in my head.
But...
And I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about this because I think this is profound.
And it's cashew.
And it's thanks to this guy, honestly, Breno.
Because he...
I have teeth.
(laughter)
Not NFTs, but specifically.
But the fact that what he demonstrated through several projects over several weeks is the extent to which the primitive is flexible.
You know, the proofs that you're working with.
And the kind of things that you can build with it.
So it's just...
Yeah, so I will be spending more time just going deep on cashew, for sure.
Nice.
So this is 100%.
I have like a program of work mapped out for myself, including my travel schedule.
So there's like things that are connecting in my head.
And...
Lost my train of thoughts.
So that was number one.
Give me number two and number three if you had it.
So obviously...
I went pretty deep on my thing.
Because like I said, nostalgia, right?
And not to...
Not to...
Surely too much.
But...
It was new.
You know, like I stood the whole thing up two weeks before the cohort.
Yeah.
And...
But then it just...
It kept snowballing on me, honestly.
So it was like...
It was not like I was trying to...
Build this...
One centralized thing.
It's because I have...
Done the legwork of...
The infrastructure where...
And then it was just snowballing me.
Okay, now I can...
I can't...
I can't add this.
And just today, while you were talking, the whiteboard session we had.
Yeah.
And then there was like one thing that clicked in my head.
Yeah.
That I'm like itching to do now.
And I don't know...
I mean, I picture it already.
So it's like, it's one step away or a couple of sessions with clankers away from being materialized.
Awesome.
I can just picture it.
But again, it's like, okay, this is gonna be like another thing that...
It kind of makes sense to surface on astrology.
But then at the same time, I'm thinking...
There are pieces to it that are just like, nastrenated, where you can swap certain things out.
So, like, I'm mindful that it's like, I don't want to create this thing where, oh, just go to dub dub dub,
mousdrol or whatever, you know.
Yeah.
So...
But I think it's deep and I have the pieces that I can add to this.
Awesome.
So that was a...
Yeah.
So, like, a lot of headspace went into this.
So, like, I would...
Even though it's mine, I would still put it like, number two.
And then the third thing that...
I wish there was more time...
Is that I would have gone into, is the whole idea of sovereign intelligence is the theme.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, running models inside TEEs and kind of self-hose things.
Everything.
So, it's starting from being able to take any model from any provider and evaluate it in a testable way
against a set of evals.
Yeah.
And then just have a full chain of ITE station as to how it does on specific topics, specific evals, how it performs.
So, that's like one part of the stack.
And I think this goes deep all the way to the point where, ideally, I think,
would like us to see open-weight models that are that we we as a community
yeah like freedom tech people that we have trained and to fucking end yeah I
see yeah starting from this is the core data corpus that went into the pre-training
run these are the evals that we're running on this this is what we did with
the reinforcement learning and this is how we actually did the training run or
maybe we figure out how to do training runs in a distributed fashion yeah like
literally you run a little set-at-home little thing on your GPU but there are
thousands of people like us and this thing you know we don't anyway it gets
into the into the area of maybe like more like slightly academic anyway
there's like a hard problem it's a very hard problem that's why right now the
easiest illusion is you raise a couple billion or trillion dollars probably
part problem but also what gives me confidence is that I come from the you
know quote-unquote big data background yeah and the big breakthrough was there
is that was that yeah there's more data that you can fit on one box to do
whatever with the data so the big breakthrough was kind of divide and
conquer you partition the problem yeah and then you run calculations in a
vastly distributed fashion and then you combine and you iterate so that that has
been proven time and again so I think this this general approach applies in
this area yeah yeah of course I mean like you already mentioned sati at home
yeah it's also you know protein folding at home like all those kind of things and
so that's that that would be one direction so I think I think this may be
a one of the more profound things that I'm taking with me and I need to I still
need to sit down and think this through yeah I mean it's fucking crazy no no
that's it but that's like the way I like to describe is like you have the six
weeks of like fire hose and then you just need to calm down and the like
everything needs to compost you know and then you'll see what comes out of the
compost that's like of your brain after the dust has settled but yeah I love
those answers so that was great your job is now to pick the next person that I
didn't talk to yet and I'm already forgetting who I talked to so it's gonna
be a hard challenge team say again muck team all right he's a where is he he's
right there we go we already talked next one 600 billion we already talked
Brenda you talked still still left yeah okay balloon guy yeah okay balloon boy
you were chosen balloon boy you're the chosen one now so last six weeks you have
to speak into the microphone there is no there is no opting out
no you decline all right that you have to point to the next person all right he
just walked away I'll catch him no he's walking he's running away he's running
away you're not getting away from me you're next hiding hiding hiding in the
dark hiding in the dark I'll be gentle two minutes yeah just no weeks
six you came in at half point right you've been leading one of the weeks yeah I
did read so how how was it for you give me some of your highlights personal
highlights of this court well this is my second time so this was an opportunity
to see a lot of faces that came back met some new people I continue to believe
that the kids are all right we'll have to wait yeah for the Portuguese speakers
this will be a treat for everyone else not so much
thank you for coming with us we hope to see you again have a great day all right
or bring out a fantastic continue so I mean so it's clear you know that you
know this this cohort is a little different because people you know it was
a little more freeform a little bit less focused on a particular area we know
yeah so seven it was all network focused yes this one's a little bit more kind
of roll your own sort of thing but it was good to see people come together in
week five you know the focus I kind of wanted to introduce to people was a
little more on the collaborative side yeah and people really stepped up to it
you really liked it like I heard it's all nice
everybody put in the effort to go with the flow and do this pairing off, especially
announcing ahead of time what their demos are going to be three days in
advance. Everybody rolled with it and did a great job. I was very happy to see that.
It sort of leads me, I mean I'm still starting coming back into this community
after quite a long time away, and I'm very happy to see that the future of
freedom checkers in good minutes. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I think that's a very
worthy sentence to end on and we're running it to harbor. So I'll just hug
you, I won't hug everyone. Thanks for being back, thanks for indulging me.
Any last words, you know? We have reached a point where we have enough
primitives and tools and collaboration possibilities that we can actually build
something that is usable and infrastructure-level stuff and we need to
get together and focus and build it, pipe things together because we have
everything that we wanted a year back, two years back, but now we actually do have it.
If all that's music to your ears, send a DM to your, not to me, to your, or to
the sovereign engineering, reach out. No, but like I mentioned it once or twice, we
want to do more stuff, we want to do different kinds of formats, we want to
involve more gray beards, we want to involve some of more young people and
like sovereign engineering is gonna evolve and we'll run some different
experiments and see what works and what doesn't. We'll continue to do this for
sure and yeah, we'll hope to branch out a little bit and reach out to some of the
you know existing communities like local first, mesh network people, just
general hacker people, like people that were rock-pulled a lot, that's
that's our people. Yeah, if you wear a D-bank five times in your own, like come
talk to us. Yeah, any ideas? Send a DM. All right, fantastic. One more hug and then
I'll have to find my phone again to actually press stop but it's somewhere
it's somewhere on the boat. It's somewhere on the boat.
We'll talk yes tomorrow or something. Oh, sure. Yeah, okay. We'll talk because oh no.
I'm actually I'm actually gonna do this. So first time for you as well, same
question as everyone else. Looking back at the last six weeks, how was it for you
and you didn't you didn't do the full thing? So how was it for you? How was
the experience for you and what were like your top three highlights? So I was
just here the second half of the cohort invited by you. So nice. Quite cool to
just get the opportunity to meet all of the people who are building all of the
technology that I then use just in my applications and actually try to apply
them. What were some of the things that impressed you? Like what was something
that was new for you or that kind of sticks in your mind? I think so I think
tips for just how groundbreaking and just a new paradigm tips might be
into how much it could change in the future but in general the whole
not the ecosystem. I mean of course I knew before that it's more than just a
new or decentralized social media but how much actually or how disrupting this
technology can be in different areas is just quite my blowing. Okay so that was
that was a surprise. What's what's what's next for you? What are you gonna work on
the next couple weeks? Anything that pops up when I ask this question? Yeah I
mean just improving my climbing updates that I work on and maybe using also so
I had a POC working last week with Julian to actually have a local
FIPS mesh for climbing on a board so climbers on a board are just connected
and I want to make this stable and useful. All right. All right awesome
and I'll do well as well. Two minutes while we're docking. Yes so what were the
highlights from your perspective? You're here for the third? Yes. That's right
the first time. So what were some highlights for you for this goal?
I think Nablitz. Just continue. Nablitz was actually like the biggest
highlights like I think it is groundbreaking like FIPS was last cohort.
I see it. It's very interesting.
Also, I think a lot of the co-host, a lot of the demos that I saw,
like the Rage of Empires by G.
I actually didn't get it at first.
You decompile a binary and just rebuild it from scratch.
It's reverse engineer binary.
I didn't get it at first. I thought it was dumb.
But after a few days, I got it.
It is actually...
He's not as dumb as he comes across.
No.
Yeah, it's actually mind-blowing.
I think we can reverse engineer so many of the applications from the last generation.
Awesome.
I have your brain to pick on some of the things,
but it will take more than two minutes.
I'll just ask, what's next for you?
What are some things you want to work on or something that intrigues you
that's related to this core?
Oh, maplets. So I built maplets with the maplets
where maps are blossom, everything is blossom, everything is on noster.
I want to build this.
We want to go to a different place in the world, like Vietnam, Thailand,
and we map the world on noster.
Awesome. Awesome.
Awesome. Let's end on this while we're docking.
Yes. Thank you.
I'm glad you made it here for the first time.
Hope to see you again one day.
