You can find me on 🦋Bluesky bsky.app/profile/cloudh… from now on. I'll be posting about my new project there. 👋

Since 2016, I have been founding, leading, and contributing to visionary projects from decentralized space agencies and building DAO frameworks, to helping launch a DAO that raised over $50 million to free Julian Assange. My latest initiative is @blaxxky, a print magazine and media network that explores the future, space, the weird & unknown. The last few years, I have preferred bootstrapping my projects, by engaging in consulting gigs. I am currently seeking a 1-3 month consulting gig (where I could potentially extend to longer, as a fractional lead, if there is the proper alignment). With 17 years of experience across crypto, social networking, enterprise software, and aerospace systems, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex systems engineering, product, and high-fidelity user experience. I thrive in the ambiguity of the "Idea Stage," transforming raw concepts into technically sound, narratively compelling, and market-ready launches. Whether it’s architecting the product vision or refining the UX, I operate as a multi-disciplinary generalist dedicated to getting your product to Day 1 and beyond. For more details about who I am, read my website, and then feel free to send me a DM if you want to work together! stellarmagnet.xyz

@atmoio It's simple: build something now you couldn't have built before.

I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

US attacks on fuel depots have created toxic rain that burns skin and destroys lungs, which the winds are carrying northeast toward Central Asia. The US also attacked a desalination plant in Iran in another war crime. As the US instigates a civil war by sending in Kurdish proxies, Trump said the map of Iran will “probably” not look the same after the war. The war objective is the destruction of Iran at the peril of its 90 million citizens. European leaders are cheering Trump on, and the media is selling the story of a humanitarian war.

Radiant is open-sourcing its compiler toolchain and launching code.radiant.computer today. More details on BlueSky: bsky.app/profile/radian…

@warXwizard I’m releasing the language compiler and emulator soon as open source actually, only the OS user space will likely be closed source

@cloudhead all of radiant code is closed source right?

☀️The Radiance compiler has reached a fixed point. radiant.computer/log/012-radian…

@eucopresident I strongly condemn EU's leadership for being such ball-licking idiots.

I strongly condemn Iran’s attacks against several countries in the region. These strikes represent a dangerous escalation of the military situation in the Middle East. My full solidarity goes out to the targeted countries. I welcome today’s meeting of the United Nations Security Council. It must work towards restoring peace and stability in the region and ensuring that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon.

@stevenroose3 How is he so confused, didn't he read the news?

Europe has become disgraceful. Shameful really. Europeans should be deeply ashamed for the cowardice of their supposed "leadership". EU politicians are corrupt thieves and bitches to Israel and the United States. We should defund the EU. They only leech on national resources.

I've never seen a more desperate tweet in my life

@onurakpolat clig.dev

Is there a protocol for good cli design?

If you're a code forge competing with GitHub and you look anything like GitHub then you've already lost. GitHub was the best solution for 2010. It is hanging on by a thread in 2026 (but its mostly down nowadays). The needs of today are so different that the form factor doesn't work anymore.

@PalazzoVincenzo A new kind of personal computer I’m working on — see radiant.computer

@cloudhead What is Radiant?

My thoughts on AI & computing for Radiant. radiant.computer/notes/ai-and-t…

@balajis We have the p2p code distribution part with @radicle, no need for gitlab.

PERSONAL PRIVATE PROGRAMMABLE I’ve been thinking more about the intersection of Claude Code and Obsidian. There is an upcoming tech stack here that I’m calling personal private programmable. Here’s a sketch of the idea. First, if you squint ahead a few months, we will likely have open weight AI models that work as well as Claude Code does today, and that can handle the context that Google Gemini does. We also already have many different kinds of file types that can be exported out of apps, from markdown files (like Obsidian) to git repos to mbox files (from email) to all the miscellaneous file types you store online or on disk. The open weight AI models can do a lot if they can see all these different data types at once. Finally, we have hundreds of millions of local crypto wallets, and scaled crypto name systems like ENS (Ethereum Name System) and SNS (Solana Name System). These give us tools for working with encrypted data, keys, and identity. So if you put all that together, the personal data becomes far more programmable (with local AI) and yet also more private (because it’s being computed on locally). And if you have a local crypto wallet, you can also encrypt some or all of your personal data and transmit it to another ENS/SNS name, such that you can collaborate with them in an end-to-end encrypted way. There are many networking details to be worked out regarding secure synchronization of packets between different ENS/SNS names across different machines, and you might need some kind of private cloud like Gitlab to really make it work depending on the application (because pure p2p is hard). Nevertheless, the Claude/Obsidian trend points at a powerful emerging concept where it’s now *better* to redecentralize and keep all your data local. Because local data is easier to encrypt with crypto and compute on with local AI. Thus: the personal becomes private and programmable.

Radiant Log #011 -- Radiance Intermediate Language radiant.computer/log/011-radian…

@deepquest Yes

Nuit Saint Georges♥️

@flowerornament @sol_plunder @kathryndevaney @tloncorporation @urbit @johnsonmxe The most interesting one might be: how to organize society — it’s the hardest of them all to start from scratch, but perhaps the most critical

@sol_plunder @cloudhead @kathryndevaney @tloncorporation @urbit @johnsonmxe What am I missing?

There are a few people in the world I know of bravely working on truly original things that are incredibly hard, risky, and difficult to fund Taking some time out of my day to support or simply encourage those people is one of the deepest sources of meaning in my life

@nunosans @twostraws @jmtrivedi @radiofun8 You made it to Tokyo

@nunosans @twostraws @jmtrivedi @radiofun8 Mate

Here's to a new year with many more experiments and recreations. SwiftUI × Metal shader explorations inspired by @twostraws, @jmtrivedi and @radiofun8's works/tutorials.

@oprydai Writing code that passes review

so what are some problems that AI still cannot solve?
