Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

@dwr.eth would be cool if we could use warps to fund our wallets in some way, either directly or to pay gas in some way

Awesome. Wish this was started years ago, as it will take most of a decade to complete, but I’m still excited to see the needle pointing in the right direction.

More high-speed rail in more places please!

In the future how will we refer to the twenties that we are living through right now? How will we distinguish it from the roaring twenties a century ago?

Gaming

A single sequence of button presses that is guaranteed to beat Pokémon Platinum no matter which random number generator seed is picked. Absolute genius.

Okay, finished watching this. Damn this is good stuff, I'm very tempted to try to play four billion Pokemon games simultaneously. This has to change your brain and the way you think. Also, not the first time this guy has done this, fucking wild!

My new pet conspiracy theory is that all the big web2 recommender algos learned that to increase engagement they can manipulate people in meatspace to make the world as absurd as possible to induce more rage bait interactions on their platforms. Nobody intentionally did this, it's just we already lost control, and we lost it to the recommender algos

I want my LLMs to tell me that I asked it the wrong question, then tell me what the better question would have been and proceed to answer it instead

Anybody else remember spore? I sank so many hours into that game creating creatures and planting colonies throughout the galaxy

This same frame but mocktails would also be very fun!

Recently rewatched the 3blue1brown optical puzzles series with my partner. I think it's a great example of how educational content can change the way you fundamentally think about the world. I'm far more comfortable with calculus and linear algebra now compared to when they were released, but I'm still coming away with the same realizations that I did before, just parsed the few equations shown a little quicker this time

If you have a favourite math paper please share it with me! I'm in need of interesting reading material while I'm recovering from a nasty cold

Creating new decentralized organization structures with AI? Sign me up. I think there is definitely something here for new organizations and daos to experiment with, and hopefully outcompete traditional structures

Came here to say this! Austin was the first person in the space to pay me for work, wouldn't be here without him!

This is an @austingriffith and @buidlguidl appreciation post, thanks for all the work you do teaching and onboarding devs into this space, you make a huge impact!

Are there any frames that do PvP in real time? Like a game of chess or something?

Science

Are particles just light trapping itself? Maybe? I don't know, but here's some fun simulations about it!

Interesting article about a low cost and non destructive IC verification method! (found as a link in vitalik's recent d/acc blog post) Interesting problem space to work in for open source hardware

Anybody have some good mechanical pencil recommendations?

Jobs

Dwarkesh is hiring. There's probably some people here on faster that would be a great fit!

There should be a polymarket leaderboard for addresses with the most accurate fulfilled positions and/or most profitable trades

Many, actually!

Most at the intersection of crypto x real life:
- Stablecoin payment processors replacing POS Visa & Mastercard devices & fees is the most obvious one
- Better capital formation mechanisms bringing back ICOs, but in a way where teams are held accountable through milestone deliverables, ragequitability of funds & chances of being replaced as executors
- Easier ways of bootstrapping token economies in the real world, creating liquidity where there is non a-la Grassroots Economics & q/acc

...

If you're in the space and feel like you need a direction on something the build, here's a couple casts worth of good ideas

Interested in ZK, FHE, PUFs, hardware, system design, ai safety, and smart contact security.
