I vibe coded a mini app which analyzes your casts and tells you which Pokemon you are! As always, feedback welcome!

Next: 
- dynamic embeds (will see if I can vibe code this)
- music (running into audio playing issues)
- mint result (get to test wallet + onchain functionality)

Known issue: Android doesn't load from a cast but you can search for "Pokemon Personality" and it works. Any leads on why it works on web, iPhone, but not Android helps!

Also shoutout @neynar for making pulling cast data easy

tech companies will become power companies

utility software -> utility hardware -> utilities

An interesting comment from a Former $META employee. ENERGY is the biggest bottleneck right now.

Even if $META wants to spend $100-$150B on CapEx for AI infrastructure, they can't. It is not just $NVDA.

Founders

My cofounder @pirosb3 & I got acquihired by Farcaster a few months ago. Been interesting working together a lot in a non-cofounder setting! 

We worked together well but like any cofounders ran into occasional big vision disagreements. Now that's 100% gone bc someone else sets it

i'm not sure @manan and I have had big vision disagreements (at least none that immediately come to mind), all our arguments are about the stupidest little things (which makes them extra annoying)

not sure if this is good or bad

I read books in all formats. If I read an audio book or an ebook, I end up buying the physical version as well. It might feel like a waste of money, but I’ve learned from years of buying digital movies that I don’t actually own those. And I don’t want to make the same mistake with books.

Yeah I also buy physical, digital and audio for the books I like best

More expensive but the flexibility it affords can’t be beat

I Took a Photo!

I took a photo of Bill Murray. 

If anyone bids over $100 on this cast I’ll send you a signed print of my most famous photo. 

The higher the price the bigger the print.

I’m told when I was just about two years old, I licked bird poop straight off the ground

Holding me back since

i should clearly start making more predictions

Working on my packing list for a very exciting upcoming trip! ✈️

Do you plan out your packing in advance before travel, or pack everything right before leaving? :)

Alaska is one of my favorite places in the world

Lived there for 2 months, gonna be there for 6 weeks later this year

Here’s a glimpse from last time

Pick one to play right now   👇  👇  👇

man so many hits on this one, here's my top two from that time 

(middle school)

there will be 
- more robots than humans in cities, 
- (are?) more agents than humans online

it's good, we're moving forward

(ps - no personal connection to the company, just like what they're doing)

We have three big @pipedream_labs announcements today. The 3rd is the most ambitious project we've ever attempted.

Here’s a quick summary thread: https://t.co/AUHhV0QM4K

I had this thought the other day - people talk about entrepreneurs taking risks but in most cases, there's no real risk

the risk is so negligible, it might as well be zero

real risk would blow our minds - it's unimaginable, incomprehensible

imagine free soloing El Cap or fighting on the frontlines of an active war zone, that's real risk

so out there that your brain rejects it entirely, that's real risk

almost none of us know what risk really is

Photos from today ☀️🌼🍓🫐🍉

Some of our college friends came over for a bbq 🍔 

We sat in the garden chatting for most of the afternoon and afterwards we went kayaking :)

Ate more of this dessert than I’d like to admit

Prob the best July 4th week I’ve had in a while 

Spent the week in Martha’s Vineyard, took a few days off work after many years 

Fun fact - @galazio and I met on July 4 sophomore year of college 

Happy 4th! 🇺🇸
