Using blockchain data to find holders of an ownership NFT for an old DAO I’m doing a project for. I built some scripts to fetch ENS data or Opensea username if it exists. Matched about 40% of addresses. Then finding about 30% of those as Twitter handles. All good. But now that I’m reaching out to people to say “come check out a proposal”, how do I not come across as scammy? “Hey anon, you don’t know me, but I know your wallet. Come to this Discord” Seems like there should be a better way…

I learned a new word today, kakistocracy. And no, it’s not a government run by people wearing khakis…

First time running a half marathon distance in 8 years. It felt great! The training runs are definitely working. Now I have a month to get the pace to somewhere between 8:00-8:45/mile. (Depends on how my wife is running after the swim and bike of her half Ironman)

For the last few years, my wife and I have been doing a different "addition or subtraction" every month, just to do some resetting things: Subtractions: - a month without alcohol - a month without sweets - a month as vegetarians - a month without tv Additions: - a month with daily yoga - a month with daily 10k steps - a month with daily meditation etc... Each month has its ups and downs. But we also learn: *we can do anything of a month* and *we usually moderate whatever activity we were doing before* Try it out! I dare ya... 😉

Vibe coding Python screen scraping tools is pretty fucking unbelievable. I get it now: good developers won't go away anytime soon, but standing up something quickly and debugging will go MUCH FASTER. These few scripts would have taken me a few days in the past, and now about an hour...

Isn’t that interesting, Congress has the authority it set taxes and tariffs… I feel like there is a metaphor here like when a successful startup hires and “adult” to lead the company to the next level. Except I can’t figure out if it’s the President or the Congress that we’re calling adults…

In the quiet before Tariff Chaos kicks in, I've been brushing up some Ray Dalio reading (legendary hedge fund manager). His Bridgewater Associates recently released an All Weather Portfolio ETF (ALLW) - it should stay fairly stable even with economic chaos. They publish daily asset holdings. It turns out I'm way under exposed to Bond Futures, TIPS, and apparently should be shorting a basket of non-USD currencies 😆

The OCD side of me gets excited about getting through a batch of taxes for the funds that I run...one step closer! But then I realize it starts again in what seems like a few weeks. Somebody build TaxGPT! -Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey

With the ongoing debate about Ethereum L1 vs L2 cannibalism, it's surprising that we don't often talk about the amount of ETH locked in L2 bridges (in addition to ETH locked in staking and other protocols). This is the capital asset side of ETH: used as collateral to do productive stuff. When ETH is locked into an L2 bridge, it's like putting it into a bank: the L2 then uses that collateral to bootstrap economic value within the L2. Sure, there is some ETH buying/selling pressure within L2s (i.e. money velocity), but I suspect most of that ETH is locked as a capital asset. Anyhow, I'm going to start a time series to track this via free data sources. This pie chart uses data from DeFi Llama and Nansen. What else should I track?

Today is Wilson’s (my sourdough starter) 5th birthday! 🎂 🎈 🎊 To celebrate, I’m making one of my favorite treats: cardamom sourdough knots. -Plain white flour loaf + several tablespoons of cardamom -Roll out the dough to 4-5mm thick -Spread some jam and cheese (today, apricot jam and manchego cheese) -cut into strips with a pizza cutter, then knot them up and place on a tray Bake a little lower and shorter than a regular loaf. Delicious, and a great option for hikes (easier than bringing a cutting board + knife) 😋

This makes it easy to figure out what to do with Airdrops: https://warpcast.com/tatiansa/0x8649c057 If there is an airdrop with reasonable communication and a reasonable value proposition, I’ll hold it. If I can’t figure it out quickly or it feels scammy, I’ll stack gwei. $JAM is gone $HIGHER is held

A new Vibe Coding 101 class for Replit, taught by Andrew Ng from Stanford. https://x.com/AndrewYNg/status/1904929635043074478 I took Andrew's class on machine learning a few years ago via Coursera. Awesome to go deep on the math behind the algorithms...
