Time to prune the plants in your yard (or trim that crazy hoya that went nuts after repotting in Oh Happy Dirt)? Pot up the cuttings and share the love! Big box stores have shown us that they don't care about individuals, so it's time to move our spending to home nurseries (and give away cuttings for free, too)!

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop hosts ~littel-wolfur to explore spaced repetition, the dynamics of learning algorithms, and the philosophy behind Urbit. They break down Urbit's promise as a peer-to-peer platform with roots in a deep, almost otherworldly commitment to resilience and a long time horizon. Alongside ~littel-wolfur's take on memory as the strange balance of laziness and persistence, they dig into shrubbery, Urbit's latest namespace innovation, and the challenge of creating tools that last. From generational shifts to the philosophy of technology, Stewart and ~littel-wolfur contemplate whether Urbit's rebellious craftsmanship might be the foundation for a more enduring internet. You can connect with ~littel-wolfur on Twitter.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:22 Understanding Spaced Repetition01:39 Personal Experiences with Spaced Repetition04:08 Challenges in Spaced Repetition Software06:45 Building a Flashcard App on Urbit09:03 Introduction to Shrubbery on Urbit13:26 The State of Urbit and Its Future22:01 The Long-Term Vision of Urbit and Bitcoin28:37 Balancing Internet Time with Parenthood29:37 Challenges of Urbit's Ease of Use30:22 New Blood in the Urbit Community31:15 Building Communities on Urbit32:38 Twitter's Complexities and Elon Musk's Influence41:02 AI's Role in Software Development49:52 Transhumanism and AI Art54:50 The Future of Craftsmanship in Programming55:45 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsThe Power and Paradox of Spaced Repetition: Stewart and ~littel-wolfur discuss spaced repetition as an ingenious blend of laziness and persistence. By setting reminders to review information just before it's forgotten, spaced repetition acts as an effortless yet powerful memory tool. Although the practice demands daily discipline, it becomes an invaluable mechanism for retaining knowledge across vast timescales.SuperMemo and Incremental Reading: ~littel-wolfur shares his experience with SuperMemo, the original spaced repetition software that takes the method even further. SuperMemo's “incremental reading” allows users to gradually extract information from lengthy texts, breaking down complex learning into manageable, spaced chunks. For ~littel-wolfur, this approach goes beyond mere memorization; it turns learning into an immersive, long-term commitment.The Urbit Experiment: Urbit, a decentralized peer-to-peer network and OS, represents a radical rethinking of the internet. Stewart and ~littel-wolfur examine Urbit's potential as a platform where users truly own and control their data, echoing ideals of early Web 1.0. As the “long-haul project” of the tech world, Urbit cultivates an almost timeless ethos, making it as much a social experiment as a computing system.Shrubbery and Namespace Innovation: A core element of Urbit, “shrubbery” introduces a namespace that enables users to organize, connect, and retrieve information from across their digital universe. ~littel-wolfur explains how shrubbery allows users to link pieces of data like conversation notes, wikis, and documents, making it a versatile learning platform on Urbit. The elegance of this integration hints at a future internet where information can be personalized and seamlessly connected.Craftsmanship and Digital Resilience: ~littel-wolfur and Stewart touch on the fading art of craftsmanship in tech, which often gets lost in the layers of abstractions that modern software relies on. For ~littel-wolfur, coding on Urbit feels like working in a digital woodshop, where the focus is on intentionality and precision rather than flashy or disposable tech. This philosophy of craftsmanship offers a refreshing take on the art of creation in software, hinting at the durability and authenticity Urbit hopes to embody.AI's Limitations and Overconfidence Trap: The episode also highlights the limitations of AI, especially when it encourages laziness or over-reliance. While AI can help automate routine tasks, ~littel-wolfur warns of its tendency to produce fragile, overly complex solutions that unravel under scrutiny. They caution that true understanding comes not from shortcuts, but from engaging deeply with the work—a point that resonates with their belief in disciplined learning practices like spaced repetition.The Value of Optimism and Long Time Horizons: Amid a society obsessed with quick wins and rapid monetization, Stewart and ~littel-wolfur see Urbit's culture as a refreshing outlier, filled with builders who value curiosity and long-term thinking. This “thousand-year mindset” stands in contrast to much of the tech industry, where projects are often driven by immediate financial returns. By embracing a philosophy that resists the pressure for instant success, Urbit aligns itself with a vision of digital infrastructure that, rather than fueling transient trends, aims to be a lasting foundation for generations to come.
It's literally two years since we had an episode quite like this one. And in an unusual foray into accuracy I can give you the exact details, because it was Chapter 122The reason I know this is because that week Ant was on holiday in Catalonia, and as such he recorded his half of the conversation in a lively cafe in Platja d'Aro.And, literally just for the hell of it, he is back in the same spot - only this time it was a hotel reception. The good news is that the Wi-Fi was considerably better, so actually getting something in the can was a lot easier. The downside is the background hubbub that you get in that particular environment. Meanwhile, I was in Denmark with toddlers.Tweaks have been made using expensive Spanish digital software, but it is a little nosier than usual so please bear with.Anyway onto business, because those of you who appreciate a well-run council waste facility, or indeed are unsure about the nutritional make-up of your breakfast bowl, are in for an absolute treat.Love'n'tow-ballshTCD Merch StoreBecome Purple and support the showThe Invisible Man Volume 1: 1991-1997The Invisible Man Volume2: 1998-2014FacebookInstagramWebsite
On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, Stewart Alsop is joined by ~tiller-tolbus to explore his three current projects: Red Horizon, Sen Chain, and Aegean. The conversation navigates through the intricacies of Urbit, touching on the common threads that bind these ventures together. Tiller shares insights into how Red Horizon is making Urbit more accessible, how Sen Chain offers a unique blockchain integration, and how Aegean envisions a new kind of browsing experience within the Urbit namespace. For more details on Tiller's work, you can connect with him on Urbit at tiller tolbus, or follow him on Twitter at @tiller_tolbus. You can also learn more about Red Horizon at redhorizon.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:06 Meet Tiller Tolbus: Projects Overview00:20 Understanding Urbit and Its Projects01:42 The Vision for Aegean03:33 Challenges and Realities of Urbit Development07:03 The Evolution of Urbit's Ecosystem18:02 The Future of Urbit: Ares and Beyond20:02 File Sharing and Data Ownership on Urbit26:58 The Human Mind and Megacorps27:18 Urban's Vision: Owning Your Stuff28:11 Urbit vs. Linux: Multiplayer Computation28:43 Ares: Expanding Data Capacity30:41 Shrubbery: Addressable Data Paths34:51 Learning Hoon: Challenges and Rewards37:11 Philosophical Insights: Nietzsche and Computing38:24 Idealism in Software Development41:42 The Ground Floor of Computing50:57 Urbit's Practical Future53:51 Red Horizon: Hosting Provider54:51 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsUrbit's Vision of a Unified Digital Ecosystem: Tiller Tolbus discusses how Urbit is designed to create a unified digital ecosystem that promotes composability and interoperability. Unlike the fragmented nature of traditional computing systems, where apps often do not work well together, Urbit aims to allow disinterested parties to build components that organically fit together, reducing the need for direct collaboration and communication overhead among developers.Red Horizon's Role in Making Urbit Accessible: Red Horizon is highlighted as a crucial project for making Urbit more accessible to users. By providing a hosting solution that allows users to run their Urbit instances efficiently and affordably, Red Horizon is paving the way for broader adoption of the platform. Tiller emphasizes that this accessibility is key to the future success of Urbit as a viable alternative to centralized cloud services.The Importance of Shrubbery in App Development: Tiller introduces the concept of Shrubbery, an application design system that standardizes how data is organized and accessed within Urbit. This standardization makes it easier for different apps to interoperate, addressing one of the major challenges in current app development on the platform. Shrubbery represents a step toward making Urbit a more developer-friendly environment, potentially leading to more innovative and cohesive applications.Aegean's Vision for a New Browsing Experience: Aegean is described as a project that aims to redefine how users interact with the Urbit network. By conceptualizing a browser that navigates the Urbit namespace, Aegean seeks to create a more intuitive and user-friendly way to access and share content on the network. This project highlights Urbit's potential to offer a fundamentally different internet experience, one that emphasizes ownership and control over personal data.The Philosophical Foundation of Urbit: The conversation delves into the philosophical motivations behind Urbit's development, particularly the desire to create a computing system that is both mathematically elegant and practically robust. Tiller and Stewart discuss the importance of having a foundational "ground floor" for software development, one that is stable, clean, and designed to last. This reflects a broader idealistic vision for computing that prioritizes long-term sustainability over short-term fixes.Challenges and Potential of Ares in Urbit's Evolution: Ares is identified as a critical upcoming project that could transform Urbit from what Tiller calls a "toy" into a fully-fledged computing platform. By addressing current limitations, such as the small data storage capacity, Ares promises to enhance the performance and capabilities of Urbit, making it a more serious contender in the world of personal computing. However, the timeline for Ares' completion remains uncertain, reflecting the complexity of such a transformative project.The Role of Digital Sovereignty in the Future of Technology: Throughout the episode, there is a recurring theme of digital sovereignty—empowering individuals to have full control over their data and computing resources. Urbit is positioned as a response to the increasing centralization of digital services by major corporations, offering an alternative that prioritizes user autonomy and privacy. This emphasis on sovereignty is seen as both a philosophical stance and a practical solution to the challenges posed by today's internet infrastructure.

So partially because they aren't available here on captivate, but mostly because I'm lazy and behind on editing, here are the episodes from Season 1 that you can't listen to from captivate currently! Episodes 1-7 will go up this week. It is, I suppose, sort of apropos, though I'd be doing it regardless, that approximately April every year is our anniversary and we just hit 5 years of pun-based, actual play, family-friendliness! We hope, truly, that you have been enjoying and will continue to enjoy what we do here at City On A Hill Gaming, a Nonsense Factory Podcast. So sit back, relax, and enjoy as Jonathan, Jenna, William and Daniel be all they can be back during the early episodes of Season 1 of City On A Hill!

Between December 1819 and the first quarter of 1820, 21 ships left England and Ireland bound for the Cape carrying five thousand men, women and children. The ships docked at Cape Town after weeks at sea to take on food and water, and for officials to come aboard. Settlers were not allowed to leave the ships, which then sailed onwards to anchor in Algoa Bay starting in April 1820. The rest would follow through to the end of July, the mid-winter in South Africa, and not the best time to land a ship on the coast. You can imagine the immigrants shock as they looked out over the bay from these vessels, because there was nothing in the way of settlements, just bush, and the landscape was alien – at least at first. The Eastern Cape is a remarkably beautiful area, but its rugged, full of succulants, dry, but when it rains, seemingly covered in vegetation. Who were these people, these 1820 settlers? The Colonial Office initially had instituted rigid conditions to ensure that those of sound character were shipped out. But these rules were broken almost immediately. Some were parties under the leadership of men of means and ability as you've heard, those who could take indentured servants, labourers and mechanics. The Colonial Office's original idea of taking only agricultural men and women who'd been dispossessed of their land in Britain was poorly instituted. IT appeared that many of these farmers were not farmers at all, but artisans, tradesmen and mechanics, who'd changed CVs so to speak, they pretended to be men of the earth when they were really men of settlements. They had grand dreams of paradise, after all the Times and other newspapers had published glowing reports of this new land of milk and honey and would do anything to get out of Britain. Some parishes sought to unload their less productive citizens and falsified their skills on the resumes. Why did so many people want to escape from England at this time? Basically, it was hell back home. Riots, uprisings, land theft, economic decline, government oppression, it all tore at the fabric of British society and for many of these people escape to South Africa – or virtually anywhere for that matter – was better than staying at home. Ironic then that in the 21st Century, Africans are trying to make the reverse trip. Times change.
Between December 1819 and the first quarter of 1820, 21 ships left England and Ireland bound for the Cape carrying five thousand men, women and children. The ships docked at Cape Town after weeks at sea to take on food and water, and for officials to come aboard. Settlers were not allowed to leave the ships, which then sailed onwards to anchor in Algoa Bay starting in April 1820. The rest would follow through to the end of July, the mid-winter in South Africa, and not the best time to land a ship on the coast. You can imagine the immigrants shock as they looked out over the bay from these vessels, because there was nothing in the way of settlements, just bush, and the landscape was alien – at least at first. The Eastern Cape is a remarkably beautiful area, but its rugged, full of succulants, dry, but when it rains, seemingly covered in vegetation. Who were these people, these 1820 settlers? The Colonial Office initially had instituted rigid conditions to ensure that those of sound character were shipped out. But these rules were broken almost immediately.

It was a very noisy home. One of the first things I noticed after moving in was that there is so much noise, especially when a storm would come up this house. Had a lot of wood had wood shutters decorative, trim, and a large front porch with wooden columns. So, when the wind would blow the house would make a lot of noise. We didn't have any Shrubbery, which often buffers the win. So our house sounded like a haunted movie.
We're going into wireframe mode. Tony removes some layers of dad's fair model and gets to the juicy, sciencey center: a new element. We have some quibbles with Howard's strategy vis a vis hiding incredible discoveries in very, very plain sight. Even JFav agrees with us: don't think about the plan too much. But, it LOOKS incredible and that, as it turns out, matters.
