4o image generation consistently fails on text-heavy infographics: typos, poor padding, bizarre color choices despite exhaustive prompting. Even had GPT review image + regenerate prompts. Anyone tried Imagen 4 for this use case? Looking for alternatives that actually handle typography and layout properly.

Closing the loop. This is the last 1500 transactions (did NOT slice it from the 10001th acct who signed up). FIDs > 1.09M (Newer accounts): 47 (3.1%) FIDs ≤ 1.09M (Older accounts): 1,453 (96.9%) 0 followers: 30 (2.0%) 1-10 followers: 128 (8.5%) 100-1K followers: 551 (36.7%) 1K-10K followers: 400 (26.7%) 10K+ followers: 41 (2.7%) Average Neynar Score roughly about the same. Github repos updated - for anyone interested.

Last night, I began analyzing the Farcaster Pro data (basescan API + Neynar to retrieve user information using the wallet address). Found some interesting insights. I will write about a few, and attach the GitHub repos for anyone who wants to analyze them further. This is the data for the first 24h.

I never knew Google Apps Script existed. I used to check my personal, daycare, and work calendars manually — because AI assistants and Google Home only see the default calendar. I was never getting the full picture of my week. Today, I wrote a simple script that merges everything I care about into my default calendar. Now, Claude can give me a complete weekly view. Not sure if this is something everyone already does 👀 ... But if you’ve been juggling calendars manually like I was — this is probably helpful.

Perplexity Sonar API demo night. Was a fun event and it was surprising to see many folks using sonar. Gonna give it a try and see how it compares.

How does one find joy in a cycle of loss? Justice should end pain, not fuel pride.

Now you can read what @dwr.eth is posting, while listening to your daily tech briefing. Launch GitInformed, go to briefing, scroll down and play the briefing. Minimize the mini app and continue using your FC client.

I’m experimenting with various TTS models. Google Cloud Platform’s TTS chirp HD is free for the first million tokens, but the quality is poor, even with a very optimized text. On the other hand, GPT-4o-mini-tts produces exceptional results. It delivers consistent output for the same text. I’m curious about the absence of an official Gemini TTS. Google Cloud Platform’s chirp HD is a couple of years old. While ElevenLabs undoubtedly offers the best TTS, I’m hesitant to subscribe to another service for this specific use case. If you use a TTS model, what are you using currently? Looking for the cheapest option that gives a decent output.

gitinformed.com is now a MiniApp. - RSS aggregator of tech news - AI summaries - 'live' newsletter briefing - push notifications when >= 3 sources report on same news. Add frame to enable in-app notifications. Feedback and comments welcome.

GPT tasks saves so much time in generating custom curated newsletters - I barely open any news app anymore. I have one set up for AI news, Premier League news, Formula 1 news and one for Tech Stocks. Hoping to incorporate some of this workflow in my side project GitInformed. Soon to be released as a mini-app.

Launching GitInformed https://www.gitinformed.com/ - aggregates RSS feeds of Verge, TC, CNET, Gizmodo, Engadget - replaces default RSS summary with an AI-generated one - 'live' newsletter/briefing page that gets updated throughout the day - articles can be shared as images with a single click - notifications panel when > 3 publishers post about the same topic. Currently, it only displays articles from the last 4 to 5 days. I am working on building a mini-app version of this. My goal was to consolidate all my tech news readings into one place. I already use GPT Tasks for it, but I thought I could build a better version. If you have any feedback, or comments, please feel free to DC or respond here.

For most of my side projects, I have completely shifted to Gemini 2.5 pro on Cursor. I switched to it about a week ago, and I haven't shifted back to 3.5/3.7 sonnet or 4o yet. Very pleased with the results.
