I was top user 25 on Stack Overflow in 2024 by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
In 2024 I was user #25 with the most reputation gained on Stack Overflow.
This is up from #38 in 2023 is even though I have answered less questions than before.
This is likely because LLMs have killed users that just answered lots of easy new questions, and favored those like me who only answer more important questions found through Google.
I was #13 on the last quarter, so this is likely to go even higher in 2025. More details at: Section "Ciro Santilli's Stack Overflow contributions"

I made the mistake of trusting a fraudster without hesitation and ended up investing my hard-earned funds in a Bitcoin (BTC) investment scheme. It all started when a Mr. Daniel added me on WhatsApp. We had been chatting for about five months, exchanging business and investment ideas. Over time, I let my guard down, even forgetting that I didn’t actually know him personally. Eventually, he referred me to a cryptocurrency investment platform, claiming it offered high-profit margins and low risk. With my enthusiasm for investment opportunities, I decided to invest CAD 310,000. To my surprise, I saw what seemed like profits growing daily on the platform. This gave me confidence in the investment, and I was persuaded to invest an additional CAD 230,000, bringing my total investment to CAD 540,000.For a while, everything seemed perfect, and I was excited about the returns I thought I was making. However, things started to look suspicious when I decided to withdraw my funds. My withdrawal request was repeatedly denied, with vague explanations. Concerned, I tried to log into my account again a few days later, only to find that I was locked out. Not long after, the entire investment platform vanished from the internet. It was a nightmare. The shock and realization of what had happened hit me hard. I was devastated, both mentally and emotionally. Losing such a significant amount of money drained me completely. I couldn’t eat, and I lost a lot of weight in just one week. The sense of betrayal, combined with the financial loss, left me feeling helpless and desperate for a solution. Determined to recover my funds, I began researching online for ways to track down fraudsters or recover stolen investments. During my search, I came across several positive reviews about SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL. People shared their experiences of how this team had successfully helped them recover funds from fraudulent platforms. I reached out to them, and they carefully guided me through the recovery process. Thanks to SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL expertise and dedication, I was able to recover the money I thought I had lost forever. The experience taught me a hard lesson about trust and due diligence when it comes to investments.

Chemistry: A Volatile History by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
This is OK, but definitely inferior to The Mystery of Matter overall because it is much more interesting to watch period reenactments than Jim Al-Khalili going places. But the latter also has its value.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
