Everybody want a free market until they get punched in the mouth.

Collocating the toilet with the shower and sink has to be one of the great design tragedies of the west.

All shower, sink and toilet have high contention for long periods and the toilet leaves behind smells.

In Japan the toilet is in a separate and often tiny room. Top of the toilet doubles as a sink too, the water coming in to the tank flows through a tap and drains into the chamber.

farcaster with framesv2 + warpcast wallet

we know that the cost of creation of software is in rapid freefall; this is turning software into a new form of media, where software "creators" will become the next youtubers or ig influencers. study smallbrain for example. 

the logical next conclusion is a great place for a consumer company to be is the instagram or yt/tiktok *of software* as they are to images and videos.

maybe warpcast leaning into framesv2 could make it more about being this app for the next generation of software-as-media. the crypto component provides native monetization rails for software creators. the protocol part provides auto identity/auth/social graph for the software that is created on the platform. 

i used to think farcaster was "programmable social" but maybe it's the inverse: social software

been thinkin about this cast a lot

think there’s a there there

Just shipped SomeoneBuild.fun, a Reddit-style explorer for the /someone-build channel.

I built a prototype showcasing how I think AI assistants will interact with existing software during an OpenAI Realtime Hackathon this weekend. Won 2nd place and $15k in credits. (skip to 1:00)

Interesting design space having it work entirely on the client.

A few things zeroing in on the robotic process automation (RPA) which is fragile and slow.

Have you been using farcaster?

AT THE BAGGAGE CLAIM

If everyone stood back further everyone would be able to see their bags.

But one person steps forward, so others must too, and the cycle repeats.

As you get closer the circumference gets smaller and field of view gets narrower, so fewer people fit and they see less. Which means people move forward faster as they get closer.

Tough system.

We had a lot of microservices at my last gig. It wasn't uncommon to touch 8 repos in a single day.

At one point I realized I can just open the entire parent directory in vscode and fuzzy search across it like a monorepo. Worked pretty well.

TIL about meshtastic from @roman, an open source off grid comms platform you can run on low power cheap devices like this. 

it can transmit a few kb/s up to 300km away, all in a mesh style network. They go for about $50.

seems like people mostly use for text messages and gps, there’s apps for all devices with group chat support.

caught up with a friend who’s “getting as far away from tech as possible” and looking at acquiring a torch business, gas station, or metal roofing company.
