sakura

As sakura winds down, I wanted to share a few photos I took of our local California spring ritual: spring wildflower walks. They are not sakura, but they are just as fleeting. Hope you enjoy!

Also true for my son. In my case, however, the machine I wrote my first line of code on was a teletype machine connected to the Lawrence Hall of Science.

Law & Policy

Honored to have the opportunity to interview @samczsun at tomorrow's PGP* for Crypto meeting in DC. We'll talk about SEAL—how it started, what it's achieved, and where it is headed. RSVP to attend in person: https://lu.ma/pgpforcrypto20250423 Or catch the livestream here: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1YpJkBeMmMXGj

This promises to be a really interesting discussion. I highly encourage folks to tune in.

I journalize about the future of the internet. https://www.projectglitch.xyz

Sorry I can't make it in person this time, but I am looking forward to the livestream.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Agreed. Crypto folks have a huge blind spot about tax, even if they are reasonably aware of the AML and securities issues.

Nature

We saw native California Azalea in full bloom on our walk today.

Following up on the earlier postings about the SEC guidance on crypto disclosures, I highly recommend this piece by the legendary Chris Brummer. When Chris speaks, it is generally worth listening.

Definitely team mushroom. We picked these up at the konbini almost every day of our trip to Japan. Couldn't get enough of them.

Very helpful. I got this up a running with LM Studio first. Lots to learn here about the different models. I may have missed it, but the video did not cover the set up for Ollama, did it? Anyway, I got that figured out on my own, and I think I am going to use Ollama rather than LM Studio in the long run. The CLI approach suits me.

This is why I am a little frustrated by the requirement to link your farcaster account to OTHER sites, like X, Discord and Github, to keep from being nerfed as a bot. Particularly since these verifications are immutable and shared publicly.

Seems like having credentials on icebreaker (like verified Human and qDAU) would be useful as another form of reputational verification on Warpcast. Certainly stronger evidence than linking yet another social networking account. What do you think @j4ck.eth?

The Biden SEC's attack on crypto created perverse incentives that were detrimental to Americans. 

For example, it led to them being excluded from airdrops, depriving them of ownership of the internet. 

Today, we published a quick explainer of our airdrop safe harbor proposal👇

Thank you, @milesjennings for your thought leadership on these important topics. What we need more of these days is rational, thoughtful discourse and a commitment to building a legal framework that encourages innovation and adoption while protecting consumers and privacy.
