When Steve and I started orbiter.host, there were two things we wanted to focus on: 1. Playing in a validated market. 2. Using /pinata for all our IPFS needs. We did exactly those things even if point 1 means dealing with heavy competition. I think we have some nice advantages that will grow over time though.

Proof of this, proof of that. How about proof of nothing? https://sbudella.altervista.org/blog/20250417-proof-of-nothing.html

We went through the “creator economy” cycle of crypto during the NFT boom. It didn’t work and a lot of creators got burned. I don’t believe that non-crypto-native creators need or want coins.

My favorite part of this is Tommy Pham being the only dude who was ready to actually throw down. That guy just wants to fight the world every day. https://www.threads.net/@mlbonfox/post/DIh0_tpN9RT?xmt=AQGzcRBU6TNJD28a0dihlu1V7f9CYt25KRSyLw2K5qQkMA

Just picked up some more $lemon3 because I appreciate the way @vrypan.eth is experimenting with this. I don’t know how coins like this will actually work to help fund development, but it feels better than watching a price chart of a jpeg

Netflix is probably the most fascinating tech company in the world to me. Partially because it’s not just a tech company, but also because every time people think they are cooked or will struggle going forward, they exceed expectations. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/netflix-q1-2025-earnings-financial-results-subscriber-counts-1236371830/

Kids are the best. And so much more creative than adults. Darwin’s kids drew on his manuscripts, including this absolute gem depicting a battle between fruits and vegetables https://theappendix.net/posts/2014/02/darwins-children-drew-vegetable-battles-on-the-origin-of-species

I recently switched to Gemini 2.0 Flash as the chat engine for the game I’m building because the game makes heavy use of RAG and that model’s input token cost combined with its quality aligned well. Gonna have to give 2.5 Flash a shot now. https://developers.googleblog.com/en/start-building-with-gemini-25-flash/

Reading a thriller written by a woman is generally a better experience for me. They tend to nail the intensity without overly wrought plot or contrived dialogue.

Playing with orbz.fun. It's super fun to bounce through sites and then look at the block (version) history for each when you find a cool one.

With all the talk of em-dashes as a giveaway that something is AI generated, someone should build a mini app that turns text into em-dash binary. An em-dash is a 1 and a space is a 0.

Hacker News is the last remaining analog I can think of to Farcaster. Farcaster is more social network than forum, but both HN and Farcaster have open data that is used by devs and researchers to build stop.

Imagine if Atari hadn’t stumbled so many times in the 80s how different computing might look. https://www.goto10retro.com/p/the-atari-1200xl-fiasco
