"hyper hackathon" or "who's got code?"

Core idea:
Make hackathons into seed funding, and investment rounds
All attendees are investors for 100 usd (ticket price) %15 of company.

100 people attending? = 10,000 usd
finalist 1 teams get 5k usd at a baseline.

In tournament style elimination, each round of hackathon teams get whittled down to two remaining teams.

They get half a month. to prove out their idea with paid support. hire contractors, buy materials, order pcbs, rent servers, everything.

if they get to product market fit before the time is up. They get the prize money.

attendees win: high probability their money gets into a winning startup.

Example:
The event attendance is 100 people x 100 usd/ticket = 10,000 usd

There are 5 brackets:
1) 1000x ideas are collected from the public. (voted like hacker new up/down) (winning idea gets small share %) ONLINE
2) 200x people spend 2 hours making pitch decks. ONLINE
3) 30x core teams get 24 hours to create a prototype (normal hackathon) (IN PERSON)
4) 5x core team + specialists from losing rounds get 14 days to refine their  prototype, + receive $1000 for professional branding, mentorship, and support. (1/2 of $1000) IN PERSON
5) 1x winner: they get the full $5,000 + assistants with boring stuff like  LLC setup help, tax,accountant, advisors etc. IN PERSON

Why is it unique:
- Investors win: high-probability bet startups early, 1 in a million ideas
- Attendees win: chance at $5000 and funding to go make their startup idea work
- Everyone wins: Losers money is on the winning team, and Losers win by joining winning teams as specialist, ensuring all participants can get involved

If you do a hyper hackathon PLEASE INVITE ME! ill help you do it.

WriterDeck OS

unplug usb. power off your pc and reboot with the usb plugged in.

Its very similar. but differs in the approach.
learning curve for sure.

Update:

It's kinda awesome.

I really love the solution for dragging final text docs to the computer it has a simple script that makes a "filebrowser" service that you open on your computer with 192.168.1.Xxx:8080

Very nice.

I feel like having a tutorial would be helpful.

Only issue I've found so far is if you remove it without running the safe remove script

The PC it's running on won't be able to shut off without a hard power down.

Which. Just. Feels. WRONG.

otherwise it just feels like a stripped down debian install with some thoughtful scripts and minimal tools

I had a exiting vim moment.

ALT-G to show hints

CTRL-q Is how you exit the editor.

This is designed more for making daily notes which I like. And are stored in the

Micojournal/documents/

With a YYYY-MM-DD.TXT format very good 😊

Only issue I wish I had the ability to select multiple characters. Learning curve there

But for just writing prose I'm good

One big thing it needs to get boring for me to start writing.

I don't want to get excited about other buttons and stuff.

TODO:
make a os that runs a slimmed down version of vscode. called Monaco Editor

  • adds google drive backup.
  • simple file system
  • support for usb plugin and drag
  • button for SYNC to backup

https://eccc.weizmann.ac.il/report/2025/017/

Key insite it uses properties of numbers to compute the values of things and store them in one step

My thoughts 🤔 💭

I'm curious if the possibility of creating a compiler that implements this space-saving technique for pre-compiled programs. Or at compile time

Possible use cases are machine learning. Crunching large machine learning models into simple small programs.

Basically any program that can get smaller.

This is potentially a huge result

Call to action

Programmers get on this. I want a program I can enter in my code and it spits out a better smaller compiled program.
