@Web3summit @Web3foundation Is there a livestream available ?

And we are OFF! @Web3foundation CEO/CFO Thomas Fecker Boxler kicks off #Web3Summit: The movement is growing. We’re here to ask hard questions, connect, and build substance. Built by devs & researchers — for devs & researchers. Don’t ask what Web3 can do for you, but what you can do for Web3. #LetsBuild

@SebMcKinnon The first.

@usgraphics obligatory watch, this video was over a year long rabbithole for its author, it talks about continuity and different spline types and explains all these concepts from scratch. youtu.be/jvPPXbo87ds

@Lima_Kind yes

We will never surrender. Call it fire. Every time things get tough, I go back to my roots. I think about what my parents endured to survive. They rose from scarcity, driven only by grit and vision. I will not dishonor that legacy by folding when markets get hard. Not now. Not ever. At @Kind_HQ, an official @Ronin_Network growth partner and a creator-powered growth engine, and at @KanstarWorld, our cosmic doggo and one of the strongest emerging IPs in the space, I honestly believe we haven’t even touched 5% of our potential. Lately, I’ve seen many Web3 games and companies shutting down or going through brutal times. With all my heart, I wish strength and clarity to every team navigating those storms. As a company, we’ve made necessary adjustments to stay financially responsible. Prioritizing and protecting the runway for creators and artists, and we remain committed to building real opportunity layers for them with Ronin and our amazing partners. We need to constantly evolve. Life won’t wait for us. Fuck vacations. This is the moment to innovate, experiment, and triple down on what works. At KIND, @zioaxie built a system that keeps getting more effective daily, rewarding creators through a structure engineered to be a powerful platform for exponential growth for games and projects. In a difficult market, we ran a highly successful campaign with a team we appreciate working with, @FishingFrenzyCo, pushing over 1,600 pieces of content in just 2 weeks. We’re about to launch another campaign with a new game very soon. None of this happens without the support from the community and the important commitment from Kind creators, who move momentum, the needle in the attention economy with authenticity and creativity, because we only promote high-quality projects we believe in. At @KanstarWorld , we’re working on a secret project that will ignite the next phase of Kanstar’s journey and make our doggo shine bright as hell. Additionally, All 4444 Kanstar NFTs are coming soon on @pixels_online. We’re lining up unique events, surprises, and new rewards for our community, Whales and Holders. Expect even more robust whitelist spots with great partners, perks, and long-term benefits. Team will always work to deliver value rewarding conviction. To all Ronin builders, and across other ecosystems: my DMs are open. This is the time for strategic collaboration and relentless execution. Let’s support each other. Let’s keep building. To all KIND creators, I see you. Your passion. Your creativity. Your discipline. I’m proud of you. To every KANSTAR holder, thank you for believing and emBARKING on this journey with us. You’re part of something that’s just getting started. We will not stop. We will not fold. My co-founder Zio is literally a former navy officer, loyalty, smart as hell, and ready to battle adversity. We are a family company, a family community. We will keep improving, adapting, and going ALL IN. For my daughter. For the future. For every dream that refuses to be forgotten. We’re going to do it again, bigger, brighter, stronger. No distractions. Markets go up and down. Focus and heart only go up. Discipline over motivation. Always. I believe in Ronin. I believe in this community. This isn’t just a dream. It’s a reality we’re building, together. And if we keep showing up, we will win. All my respect to all non-stop builders on Ronin and Web3. Thank you for inspiring the world through action. There’s always a way. Just like Doctor Strange with the Eye of Agamotto, there are millions of possible futures. Timelines split. New paths emerge. And with each one, we move closer to the dream. A dream we build together. Keep going. Keep creating. Keep believing. Keep believing in yourself. - Lima

Here's a thread of my best tweet shaders (>280 chars):

My fren and I have just developed a brand-new commercial MCP in web2 space based on @Misato_virtuals image capabilities and are about to begin public testing. The impact of MCP may be hard to observe, but I assure you that MCP will be another major term following LLM and Agent. Here is an article from @a16z A Deep Dive Into MCP and the Future of AI Tooling a16z.com/a-deep-dive-in…

@allgarbled "building my own guitar" going strong too

Tech guys take up a “creative hobby” because they want to prove they are ensouled, unlike all the other tech guys, and then they end up with the same exact hobbies as all the other tech guys which are “making electronic music” and “photography”

We need a counter-culture design movement that appreciates products that are difficult to use initially, but tremendously fast, easy, accurate, explicit and efficient after topping the learning curve. Ease-of-use is oversold. It's making everything suboptimal and slow.

@sean_a_mcclure sir, we'll need you to step away from the keyboard

Do not start with fundamentals. This is an awful approach to learning. Start with so-called "advanced" topics and ask questions until every term/concept is understood. This is the correct, rigorous, scientific way to learn, because the advanced topics are embedded in larger, more convoluted, more abstracted constructs. This embedding is what gives the individual pieces their *meaning*. Foundational studies have removed this embedding, and present only the isolated, sterile pieces. They have no meaning. They have no context. The notion that students will piece together fundamentals into some eventual synthesis down the road is absolutely incorrect. It is literally information-theoretically obtuse. Children don't learn language using pieces. They mumble *fully*. They are never not fully embracing the complexity. It is the juxtaposition between their naive attempts and the full picture that imbues their mind with learning. Prerequisites are the dumbest approach to learning. It is utterly indefensible using any scientific argument. The basics-to-advanced directionality is diametrically opposed to how information is encoded, comprehended and used. Prerequisites are why most computer scientists and whiteboard exam-passers can't make software themselves; they can only be cogs in a company. It's why a Princeton math PhD can write the update rule for gradient descent but can't draw the actual process with circles and lines on a damn chalkboard (true story). Idiot level stuff because their learning was all basics to advanced. They never defined terms and concepts in an embedded fashion. It was all disconnected. Meaningless muscle memory with no understanding. It does not work both ways. Only pieces that are seen inside the bigger picture are understood. Do not start with fundamentals.

@BeijingDai At least we had a fucking blast

Europeans today are deeply anxious, but in reality, this may only mark the end of their comfortable lives—the true hardships have yet to arrive. Consider the lives of ordinary people in the three superpowers: Chinese workers toil under the 996 work schedule; Americans juggle two or even three jobs just to make ends meet; Russians are forced to fight on the battlefield. The citizens of these superpowers are all struggling to survive. Yet, as the weakest and most fragmented pole, how can Europeans enjoy high salaries, generous welfare, over 100 days of vacation each year, and a workday of just five to six hours? Since the end of the Cold War, Europe has let its guard down completely, entering a state of complacency and indulgence. They rely on cheap, high-quality industrial goods from China; they depend on cheap energy supplied from Russia; and they count on the security umbrella provided by the US. In this way, Europeans have enjoyed a tranquil and prosperous life with generous welfare benefits. But what have Europeans actually done during this time? They have neglected their own defense; they have opened their doors to a flood of refugees from Africa and the Middle East; they have poured their energy into green initiatives, animal rights, political correctness, LGBT movements... They have smugly declared Europe the "garden of the world" and considered themselves superior to others. But isn’t life fair? Comfort and crisis often go hand in hand, and Europeans in the future generations may ultimately pay the price for the arrogance and complacency.
