#532I'm working on a plaintext, decetralized, distributed (multi-device), trustless (multi-user), immutable, schemaless database that's syncable via SyncThing. The trustless part, fundamentally, comes from records being signed by the authors, each device/user keeping track of signatures (ids) seen, and each device periodically publishing all ids it's aware of: that seems to defeat all attacks or accidental corruptions I care about. My most demanding use case is multi-user expense tracking. Legal/financial document (a la google drive), family photo tracking (a la google photos) is also up there.
Also, I've recently picked up modeling my financial choices and circumstances in Python. Modeling uncertainty is especially interesting I've found. I might share the Jupyter notebook some time to get some feedback.

#533I recently built a quick SwiftUI app to pin quotes and posts from X to my home screen.
I found I was liking/bookmarking insightful content on X I rarely saw again and wanted a way to resurface them somewhere I would see multiple times per day.
Can import from X via share sheet or manually enter them. It's minimal, but I've found having:
"i hate how well asking myself "if i had 10x the agency i have what would i do" works"
there every time I unlock my phone, was worth the development effort.

#534Right now, a video game. If there ever will be AI that does the particular assignment no worse, I'll consider it the coming of the age of AGI. (modulo my game getting sucked into the training set, of course)

#535Earlier quoted context omitted.
>I want to be able to teach kids skills that are more directly transferable to different domains would the ability to pick up a new language/syntax be also a skill worth learning?
Yes, absolutely, but we're talking about teenagers. I've no doubt they're capable of learning multiple languages. But teenagers are most constrained by the limited time they have available for extra curricular activities. If I was to teach interested kids a second language (and I'd like to), then it would probably be lower level so kids can learn about memory management etc.
I guess I did not explain myself well.
the way I understand what you are saying is let's not teach them gdscript but TS instead. the rationale is, so they can do webdev also.
but my impression of the godot community is a lot of gdscript,some C#. So they would not easily be growing in the godot community and make games.
as for teenagers learning new languages, if i remember my teens, 200 years ago, learning new computer things was a thrill, not a chore.
and like I said earlier, I see the habit of picking up a new language a wonderful skill.
hope it is clearer. good luck with your quest of teaching kids to make their own games with godot.

#536A website that lets users create and collect digital trading cards (not NFC or blockchain stuff). Currently trying to get the first active artists to join but it's hard. At least its a place for me to create my little artworks.

#537I'm right now working on the Managed Postgres offering for our European Serverless cloud provider, https://molnett.com/. We're building it around Neon and are happy with it so far, but are stumbling upon unforeseen issues like query modes (Thank you Pgx for not being compatible by default with PGBouncer).
Hope to launch it soon!

#538Back to working on Ensō (write.sonnet.io) and writing/working in public after a short hiatus.
Also, got some feedback for hands.sonnet.io, so I'd like to play with it a little bit if time permits (might be hard to stay inside, Spring has just started in Portugal).

#539Working part-time on Lungy, the breathing app I developed whilst working as a doctor during COVID - https://www.lungy.app/ Also, very interested in synthetic biology atm, I’m taking HTGAA - https://www.media.mit.edu/courses/htgaa/
How did you get access to HTGAA? I’ve really wanted to take this course but all of the videos and resources seem locked

#540We're increasing the brain's restorative function during sleep. Over the last 4.5 years, we've been developing slow-wave enhancement technology which increases the effectiveness of deep sleep. We've developed the full stack, our own hardware, soft conductive dry (no paste or gel) electrodes, comfortable EEG headband, embedded sleep stage classification and stimulation models, the list goes on and on. We're currently…
Very excited to see this as I’ve been struggling to increase my amount of deep sleep each night. I sleep 7.5 hours, but only get an average of 1 hour of deep sleep. What’s the timeline look like?
