Corgi needs a logo to replace that little blocky default thing. Anyone want to give it a shot? #artstr

From here the plan #1 is to operate the process as it's spelled out, which includes methods to update that process. Need to find more facilitators to fix the bus factor, get the word out, collect feedback on details of the initial specs, and encourage folks to jump outside the box and try a branch!

I've just released the Corgi specs out of compassion for everyone who's struggled to make decentralized social media a reality, because frankly I've worked up the courage to describe my vision in specs, and lastly to try and apply wisdom, not just what I can bring but, the amazing wisdom of the crowd which is of course really about those you out there who are experts in your respective fields.

Nothing excites me more than possibility, but then of course it takes courage to explore sometimes. This new spec garden is an example of that. It's about thinking outside the box to see what better ways are possible. That's why I'm going ahead with it in a sort of ultradraft state to share and see what may come.

GM, gonna be a fun day!

Nobody's talking nearly enough about Let's Encrypt's free certs for IP addresses. Aligns really well for systems that have their own naming schemes, webs of trust, hint hint

Guess that means I'll be out with some drafts sometime on the 4th of July. Independence Day but independence from what?!

Have selected an organization name for the new spec garden and now deciding where to launch. Not to skew the results but currently Github has a wild if statistcally insignificant lead over Codeberg. 9h left to vote!

Polls On Nostr!

Wow a ton of protocol discussion flying by. I worry that it'll be hard for new devs to find that history and understand the rationale behind so many things. Maybe an opportunity for an AI bot to archive and curate.

"Once you recognize the level of agency of a certain system, you can use techniques that take into account the currency of motivation, reward and punishment. You know how smart it is. You know what kinds of things it likes to do. You are then searching a smoother, nicer problem space." - Michael Levin on Lex Fridman Podcast

Feels good to curate my notes on Nostr. Takes me back to some very fun development times. Also interesting to see what might be useful for this project.

"The infrastructure beneath must be made more accessible, more usable, more understandable by researchers and other folks who are not themselves experts. Through that journey we realized we need new syntax. We needed a new language." - Chris Lattner on Mojo

Today will be about editing what I've got and doing further catch-up on the state of things.

The reason I'm interested in creating a spec garden is that I've seen too many proposals that had unrealized potential. This should be a place where 1,000 flowers bloom. Let's get it.

Getting back into the spec garden process. Seen enough in the last day to give me confidence that we can do some good.

Fear of failure can be a self-fulfilling prophesy. Let us be bold and fail forward!

First time waking up and checking nostr first thing in a while. It's a good day to work on specs! Will do a little nip-index curation, spec editing and note along the way but first it's time to paint!

Latest oil painting that I'll be getting back to today! #artstr
