Scientists discovered one of the strongest signs yet of life on another planet orbiting a star 120 light years away. The findings suggest the planet could be covered in warm oceans “brimming with life.” But American researchers may not be able to follow up with more studies because Trump is slashing NASA’s budget. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/science/astronomy-exoplanets-habitable-k218b.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=g&pvid=EE86E2DD-AA65-4851-8A98-533CE7C7389F

Conversational agents seem like a great distribution hack. They distribute themselves in the feed, and they are easy to port to other platforms that promise even more eyeballs. But most of them have a problem: they are antisocial! My relationship to most agents is 1 to 1: it's just me and the bot yapping back and forth. This is solipsistic, not social. Now that the novelty of in feed agents has worn off, this is not interesting content for a social network. What was the last bot thread you read in any depth? The distinguishing feature of social networks is the social graph, and interactions between humans are much stickier than interactions with bots. If your agent isn't social by design, the extra distribution isn't worth much.

We've revamped the Mini App Developer Tools on web along with the new Mini Apps Docs site (https://miniapps.farcaster.xyz/). If you've registered Mini Apps with Warpcast, they will show up on the landing page. Clicking on one will take you to a page with tools to manage your Mini App (preview, edit, validate and refresh farcaster.json and fc:frame meta tag). Create Mini App opens a tool that guides you through generating, previewing, validating and then registering your farcaster.json with Warpcast. There's also stand alone tools to preview your Mini App and Mini App Embed at the bottom. Hope you find them useful. Let us know what you think and how can we improve.

Comm quietly launched a security-oriented refactor of our login flow earlier this month that's been in the works for quite a bit We replaced login with two operations: secondary device login via QR code, and full account recovery

Amazon is removing the "Do Not Send Voice Recordings" option on Echo devices starting March 28, forcing all voice requests to be processed in the cloud. while recordings will be deleted after processing, users who opt not to save them will lose Voice ID functionality, which enables most features. that said, only 0.03% of users actually turned on the opt-in feature in the first place. https://nypost.com/2025/03/17/tech/amazon-is-making-a-privacy-change-to-echo-that-could-make-device-useless/

My name is Liam Rosen, and this is my far-st cast on Farcaster. My mission in life is to end the loneliness epidemic. I am attacking this problem from a number of angles: - I run socialfabric.nyc,. an aggregator of curated community portals here in NYC. - I published a guide on how to start a group chat for your apartment building (https://liamrosen.com/2024/11/14/how-to-start-a-group-chat-for-your-nyc-apartment-building), and have a goal of helping 26 such group chats get started before 2026. - I am writing a Beginner's Guide to Social Skills. - I’m a mentor for cabin.city, an org that teaches the social technology necessary to create resilient neighborhoods: hosting events, rallying neighbors, forging social ties, etc. - I am an organizer within Fractal (fractalnyc.com) and run the member community for Fractal Tech (fractaltechhub.com), a DIY hacker hub for ambitious, agentic, and prosocial founders and engineers in NYC. Let's create community together.
