@erictherobot Minsky.ai is the same login page as when we where there... AI for everyone... A new customer: dmetrics.com/department-of-…

@mankins Right? Are they still around?

Everything takes so long... I'm waiting on Apple to approve a TestFlight beta build. Shouldn't these things be quicker than a week?

@erictherobot Hard to believe it’s only been a decade since we worked at that ai startup struggling for the right interface and customer.

@mankins I would assume so. Infants are making apps now. But also Apple has been having some appstoreconnect issues lately. Not sure how it's all connected.

@erictherobot Ouch. Is this the AI dam?

@mankins I’m waiting on 3 apps - one is 1 month in review

A friend noticed that many of her artist friends were newly doing projects that involved code [assisted by ai]. As a coder I have found that I too am stretching my comfort zone, doing more visual projects. Creativity is still required, but we just have more tools for expression.

@Vet_X0 @luke_judges @msvadari @FMXRP1 @daniel_wwf Consensus is hard isn’t it? 😂

@luke_judges @msvadari @FMXRP1 @daniel_wwf @mankins I'm not against voting, i just think different in who can vote

Since I was the first one to demand lower reserves, I will just throw this one in as food for thought: If you check the validators that are voting to increase the reserves, there is something obvious to spot: xrp.unic.ac.cy validator.poli.usp.br arrington-xrp-capital.blockdaemon.com bitso.com data443.com ripple.kenan-flagler.unc.edu ripplevalidator.uwaterloo.ca shadow.haas.berkeley.edu students.cs.ucl.ac.uk xrp-col.anu.edu.au as well as bitrue.com validator.gatehub.net The last two are active participants. I am somehow sure that @BitrueOfficial "missed" the fee debate, but I don't know what position @GateHub has. The rest are the usual suspects and I would bet that none of their ops have even tought about the fees and no one told them.

@luke_judges @Vet_X0 @daniel_wwf For reference, it's here: github.com/xrplf/unl ... we still have a ways to go in terms of documenting the process, but it's a start. 📈

@Vet_X0 @daniel_wwf @mankins has been working on a UNL transparency repo that helps to log changes in GitHub & show discussions on why, may be worth talking about how we amplify / use that process

We just announced the launch of Glow, our retroactive funding program for open source contribution to the XRPL. Check it out here glow.XRPL-commons.org We could not be more excited. Great work @xrpl_commons !!

It's been 25 years since I first came to Singapore. I look forward to talk about the @xrplf at @xrplapex tomorrow. If you're in town, come say hi 👋

I’m just here to say that even my Gen Alpha daughter still calls it twitter

The future of open source is in flux - @rebackermann “Free as in puppy.” Puppies need food and care to survive; open-source code needs funding and “maintainers,” individuals who consistently respond to requests from a community, fix bugs ... technologyreview.com/2023/08/17/107… #CIO

I'm looking forward to doing an AMA with @BiasGoose about Kudos tomorrow (July-18) at 6:00pm CET on the XRPL Discord. I look forward to sharing what @loremlabs has been up to.

@timmyce There's quite a bit of good left to do with the tools built during this last boom. I'm not convinced it's all negative

@timmyce Thanks for articulating this @timmyce ...I've received a fair amount of negative reaction without as much detail. I find it unfortunate that many of the legitimate good things that came out of the last few years of exploration with crypto will be tarnished

Got a sec for user research? 🙏 We're looking to talk with open source developers about a new product in stealth mode. Be the first to see it and help us out → form.typeform.com/to/doyuMBDL 🎈

@timmyce It sounds like from what you're saying @timmyce if it does anything with crypto it's tainted and you'll stay away?

@timmyce This is what we've been struggling with. We do "Crypto" as in cryptography + crypto as in use something to do micropayments. The question is do end users want that abstracted away into an implementation detail, or do they want a knob to control it and put it in their own account.
