I love when people say “up and to the right” as if price has the option to go left.

I hit a weird problem:

I have ~500 articles on my site…
and they were basically *unnavigable*.

Search helps. Tags help.
But neither lets you *explore*.

So I built a graph-based navigation layer

I wonder if they get annoyed with all the paparazzi... being the neighbor of a celebrity and all...

Rewatching Billions and just realized:

Mafee ≈ MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion)

Dependable. Execution-focused. Tells you what the trade actually gave you, not the story you told yourself.

Taylor = Taylorism was obvious.

This one feels like a real Easter egg.

@joeblau @DriftProtocol And I don't see the option for any of the biggest wallets... Not Solflare, not Phantom, or Seeker's pre-installed wallet

@eliana_jordan I'm 36 and I live about the same as I always have. (Do what I want, live where I want, etc.). Money is important for food and shelter, but freedom is free.

@vibhu It's not that simple. I was scheduling all my (short) posts on both X and Twitter for awhile. X would get basically 0-5 impressions while Linkedin would at least get a minimum of 50-100 per post.

@tracybbd @Trader_8020 Hmm ok, my wallets still show these balances. I suppose I'll just wait until the launch for further instructions

[Thomas Rones @var_undecided]

@tracybbd @Trader_8020 So what happens to all the open positions, borrows, & deposits that still exist on Drift??

If Claude Code were a real employee, my management style would basically be:

“Perfect. Now redo it completely differently.”

I was studying Russian and saw a Papa John’s sign.

Couldn’t read a single Cyrillic letter.

Still knew exactly what it was.

That’s branding.

Not slogans.
Not messaging.
Not clever copy.

Recognition without comprehension.

If a user stops posting, does their influence decay linearly or exponentially?

Is there:

a half-life for attention?
a sudden drop-off?
or persistent baseline?

Looking for decay model.

If users cluster around similar ideas, is that natural grouping or system-induced segmentation?

Is clustering:

emergent?
enforced?
or hybrid?

Trying to understand formation.

[Thomas Rones @var_undecided]

If content is designed to maximize retention, does it reduce informational density?

Is there:

a tradeoff curve?
an optimal balance?
or independent variables?

Looking for structure.

Every AI founder’s dream:

from RAGs to riches.

[Thomas Rones @var_undecided]

If engagement can be predicted, is it still considered organic?

Is predictability:

optimization?
manipulation?
or just experience?

Trying to define organic behavior.

Programming is the language.

Javascript is the dialekt.

[Thomas Rones @var_undecided]

Programming is the language.

C++ is the dialect.

[Thomas Rones @var_undecided]

If someone reposts content with minor changes, is that considered creation?

Is there:

a transformation threshold?
attribution requirement?
or reuse classification?

Looking for boundaries.

@kevin_jy_lu @atrium_me Seems like a ton of people are building this kinda stuff... I worked out a little schema for something similar about a year ago.
