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.

Padres won today because of this. Jackson Merrill straight ignoring the stop sign and scoring the second run of the game.

My friend and MFA cohort member wrote this short story in 2016 and it’s still so good. https://maudlinhouse.net/an-excerpt-from-the-recently-discovered-text-on-the-creation-of-man-and-smartphone/

Some sad news. My M1 macbook that I converted to Linux runs considerably slower than when it was running macOS. Maybe this is expected, but it is a shame.

Something pretty neat about working with assembly before truly diving into Rust is I was immediately introduced to the concept of macros in Rust in the first chapter. I learned exactly what these were and how they work in assembly so the concept immediately clicked.

After a weekend spent dipping my toes into Assembly, I think it's time to dive into The Book and try to learn Rust properly. I think the web is the best and most open platform there is, and this is why I have been such a fan of JavaScript. However, Rust allows you to write lower level programs that can then be compiled to web assembly and run on the web. Seems like a great combination. https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/title-page.html

This is another reason I like the seemingly pointless exercise of learning assembly (specifically arm64 assembly on apple silicon). I can’t vibe code my way through it. I actually have to learn. Claude and ChatGPT are horrendous at arm64 assembly. https://www.goto10retro.com/p/vibe-coding-in-basic

I was watching The Perfect Score on the plane last night and Scarlett Johansson’s character was trying to fix a bug in Visual Basic. The movie came out in 2004. Would Visual Basic still have been the programming language she was using?

This is the problem with replacing what used to be search with AI responses. My wife and kids read the AI overview and take it as fact. https://davebarry.substack.com/p/death-by-ai

Ok I’m back from my vacation. How do I get this new base app? I updated and it’s called base, but it’s the same old Coinbase Wallet inside.

I much prefer Scotland over England. I hadn’t given England enough time compared to Scotland until this trip, but now I can say my taste leans heavily toward Scotland

I'd like everyone to know I figured out how to change the port the server runs on without the help of a tutorial. I guess I'm an assembly programmer now

My first real program in arm64 assembly code! It's a simple HTTP server that responds with Hello, world! and logs the request headers to the terminal. https://snippets.so/snip/aO5_XrhrY1

Yesterday on the train to London, I wrote an arm64 assembly hello world program. Today on the flight home, I plan to write a simple http server in assembly. Some of the concepts are slowly starting to take hold.

This is how I use AI as well. I’ve tried Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf. I don’t like the feeling of it. I find my self blindly accepting things without proper review whereas if I have Claude open in another window, I tend to review and modify more. https://x.com/hesamation/status/1946247982833082623?s=46

React Native is great except when you care about battery usage. I use Farcaster a lot, but it’s not my top-used app. However it does use the most battery.
