FID vs. OpenRank "Engagement" Ranking: - https://dune.com/queries/3901607 - *ridiculously heavily* skewed towards the earliest users of Farcast - Why? Because the algorithm starts off by selecting a trusted group of core users based on metrics heavily biased in favor of early users (see https://docs.openrank.com/integrations/farcaster/ranking-strategies-on-farcaster). - early users receive multiple boosts to engagement due to similar algorithms being used everywhere (e.g. Power Badge, Degen Tips), which results in a positive feedback loop. FID vs. Follower Count: - https://dune.com/queries/3901623/6557858 - nearly impossible for users who registered after a certain point to create the mega followings of the earliest users Why not use first cast or registration date? Dune's Neynar data doesn't have this <= 2023-09. If anybody has an alternative data source I can use on Dune, it would be much appreciated. Next: I investigate the degree of cliquiness in early users, if anybody is interested?

Airvalent CO2 monitors. https://airvalent.com/ Exciting to see how small these are getting, similar size to apple airpods case. Looking forward to seeing this tech ~1-3 versions from now, where air quality monitoring can just be part of a smartwatch.

In multiple European cities now I see taxis being allowed to use the bus lane (while of course regular cars are not). What's the policy justification for this?

French here (though living abroad for long). I was surprised by the characterization of France. I wouldn’t have explained the toll highway system through independence and freedom, for instance, which aren’t top of mind in this somewhat collectivist nation (arguably halfway between Asian and Anglo-Saxon cultures in that regard). For me, those highways are the expensive remnants of a centralized planning state that had grandiose plans for national infrastructure during “Les Trente Glorieuses” (1945–1975) and launched both ambitious road and rail projects to better connect Paris to the rest of the country. As for innovation… it was mostly a matter of national pride and independence vis-à-vis the US in the postwar period, leading to subsidized or nationalized corps (SNCF, Bull, Aérospatiale, etc) lunching the TGV, Minitel, nuclear plants, Ariane launcher, etc But actual grassroots/organic innovation is far more subdued due to the amount of red tape and the punitive taxation of running a business

Interesting thread on UK vs France from the other app. I am curious, do locals of either country agree? https://x.com/bswud/status/1804899087197564950

When I was in college, I remember thinking to myself, this internet thing is awesome because you can look up anything you want, you can read news, you can download music, you can watch movies, you can find information on Google, you can get reference material on Wikipedia, except the thing that is most important to humans, which is other people, was not there.

Very cool concept for when high-fidelity is unimportant (which it usually is for images that serve illustrative purposes). Also, I’d love to see the results of this process being repeated, with 32 tokens sampled from each nth generation, in a game of progressively more hallucinogenic game of Chinese whispers

New way to encode a profile picture dropped: https://x.com/Ethan_smith_20/status/1801493585155526675 320 bits is basically a hash. Small enough to go on chain for every user.

Welcome @optimism to the club of stage 1+ L2s! (meaning, L2s where the proof systems actually have teeth) I'm looking forward to seeing many more L2s join this club soon, especially some ZK ones.
