Cool project/attempt. Braille Capital has donated
I'm building a supersonic RC aircraft.
After my Reaper project went viral, @bscholl put up an $800k prize for the first supersonic RC drone and I'm going for it.
>Assembling a small team of Georgia Tech students
>Aircraft/propulsion solution outlined and already in motion
>Target: first flight by December
I've already raised ~$20k. Crowdfunding the remaining $50k, with a full cost breakdown on the GoFundMe below.
$500+ gets you on a private email list with frequent build updates. $5,000+ gets you invited out the supersonic test flight in person.

Think of the value to humanity Rae Dunn is providing by creating the greatest, most widespread collection of future unearthed ancient texts to be pieced together, one ceramic shard at a time
I’d love to see an Industrial Revolution-like movement involving the Amish here in the US for the reasons laid out in this article.
Doesn’t have to be deep tech, just adjacent hardware manufacturing revamped.
Predicting crimes, pre-taxing unrealized capital gains, not quite the definition of “vision of the future” I had in mind
Really awesome seeing $VVV running up and bringing attention to Venice AI.
Braille Capital has had a Pro @AskVenice account since July of 2024 for internal work/research and the airdrop helped fund the spot BTC fund. No current VVV exposure but really fun watching friends win.
Gonna hook a deep-research LLM up to a 3D printer and prompt it to “Print an object that currently doesn’t exist and that you think I’ll need five years from now” and see what it spits out
I keep thinking about @0x113d on @net__society (Episode 21 around the 1:02 hour mark) talking about programmable cryptography as a coordination device for technical advancements instead of having talent be siloed in different companies
Abraham Mignon comes to mind, who had a wonderful career painting beautiful still lifes, but if you google him one of the top autofills is for the one silly looking cat he added to a particular work.
He could never have foreseen how indexing suggestion would impact his legacy.
Sometimes you’re just a part of the band that got drafted simply because the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b was sad that he couldn’t jam and you just gotta roll with it.
Listening to people pray the rosary or trade technicals live on a market is a special experience. I don’t necessarily agree with the models but it’s fun to listen to humans recite their poetry.
You can extrapolate the existence of an unwritten chapter in A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander to cover choosing directions for work commutes to and from your home
I think the real solution to monetary policy concerns is a robust, society-level bartering system for regular people.
Pension funds should be allocating a non-zero amount of capital to longevity research startups as a hedge against prolonged payouts
Based on littering patterns, sometimes I wonder if people stand around flossing their teeth with those little handled floss things like people on a smoke break
