Farcaster

I love Farcaster because I love the people here. Twitter is a superficial popularity contest. I spent a year trying to grow there and there was zero correlation between number of followers and number of friends. Here, there’s a very obvious one. I’ve met coworkers, roommates, and probably lifelong friends on Farcaster.

Bring back cozy corners. Focus on an app that genuinely builds connection. I don’t know exactly how to do that but it’s what keeps me coming back. I haven’t made a single penny on tokens here because I have no interest in it. Maybe that puts me in the minority here but I do think it’s the majority stance of people outside of crypto.

the fact that i unconsciously feel comfortable enough to say whatever here makes me keep using it, for whatever reason can’t do that on X

Travel

In stockholm this weekend with @oconnell, any must see restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc we should check out?

2 am ideas are either the absolute best or the absolute worst no in between

is there an ollama for text to image modals? ideally generate an image from an api locally. did some basic research and can't find anything

Genuine question why do people like python

wanted to try out deepseek-r1 this weekend and couldn't find a good simple lightweight UI so made one  

pretty impressed by it, I think local open source modals are getting a lot better!

some thoughts (repo here https://github.com/kevoconnell/deepseek-chat):

https://trypear.ai/ giving this a try its been pretty good so far

deepseek-r1 is insane, running 7b on my mac locally via https://ollama.com/ and the responses are super good relative to 6 month ago

the gap between open source modals and closed source is getting smaller and smaller
