Oh, just remembered I need to get everything ready for Eid al-Fitr next month! 🥰🙏🏻

Simply right-click the images and run a quick Google Image search; you’ll find they’re from UPI, Al Jazeera, and relate to 2024 Eid al-Fitr preparations. It’s easy to verify. And yes, there's an undeniable humanitarian crisis in Gaza! Even if you think otherwise, just consider.

Surprised “How the Internet Happened” isn’t more popular. Great history of the internet

Remember: no espresso machines until our illiquid shitcoins are cashed out to USDC or BTC

i am heavily stabled....so technically allowed to buy the espresso machine before i start bidding coins again

I’m in the warpcast wallet beta and it feels like a new era.

I actually like the storage model where everything is an account. Makes it pretty easy to pick up. Haven't written any programs yet though. 

The RPCs don't feel as robust. Using Helius, but calls are slower than on an EVM and have random failures from time to time so have to account for that.

Indexing is a huge pain because of the insane amount of transactions (good problem for the network). Took me about a week to build a token indexer that can even stay at head. Storage, and in turn costs, grow pretty quickly though.

Need to index myself because no good APIs available for consumer-oriented general-purpose token data. 

Before I even started the exploration, had so many EVM people telling me how much it sucks. And overall, it's honestly not bad at all. Most of the people talking negatively about Solana dev either (1) have never actually built anything there or (2) weren't around for EVM dev when it was the same age as Solana.

Posted some thoughts about building around Solana the other day. Only been a week, so I still have a lot to learn about the ecosystem

Hyperliquid can’t be the next FTX

Jeff is a genuinely good guy who cares about crypto

He’s also a genius, Harvard educated and worked at a quant firm previously

Very different character from SBF.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Anyone here try deep research? How good is it?

Deep Research from OpenAI seems like the most interesting AI product advance in a while. I'm really liking the outputs I'm getting so far.

I wonder how much of the advance is about real-time access to the complete text of web pages, and how much is about more extensive CoT.
