ADHD people screenshotting and bookmarking everything because they're afraid of losing ideas only to never look at them again because the archive is now its own overwhelming problem:

the real benefit of bookmarking is just so that you can close the tab.

Good thread about what a lot of my attention has gone towards lately

1/ There's a new upgrade proposal on @Optimism currently up for a vote.

What is it about, and how does it work?

Let's break it down! 👇🧵 https://t.co/94E7hlD8Dk

this feels incomplete in many ways, but also like it's getting at something important

In my head I’ve started referring to political quadrants in terms of properties of their preferred coordination networks.

Top two are centralized. Bottom two are distributed.

Left two are symmetric (aka egalitarian). Right two are asymmetric. https://t.co/qiTfW9PSQA

Serious question, how would one go about making an LLM have a very particular world view?

Highly recommend negging Claude so that it sees you as high status and really wants to please you. 

Also, you can peacock by giving it instructions in Esperanto, but only do this if you have the inner game to back it up.

Alt theory: 

The structure of social media (as encapsulated by the algo and content types) have just shifted away from the equilibrium that encouraged building community. 

Short videos are just a more effective tool for generating engagement, and so "people having rich interactions" has been deprioritized.

Bitcoin treasury companies, despite being a very stupid idea are incredibly bullish for Bitcoin (long term) by virtue of showing that the old orange coin can still generate massive amounts of religious hallucination.

Farcaster has enabled me to build a community online in 4 days that I’ve never had in 3 years of posting videos. I am so grateful for the level of support everyone has given me. It feels real. People are sharing with their co-workers, family, friends. It hit me the people watching all have their own lives continued

Very pleasant surprise that Farcaster’s first vertical video star on FC is a huge eco nerd. 💚

IDK who needs a csv parser on the cli, but I strongly recommend xan over everything else I've tried.
