happy birthday Ethereum! seeing a lot of folks sharing a believe in somETHing image. thought I’d make a little tool to make your own [in the next tweet]

When I struggle to structure my thoughts about what's happening I turn to writing. Today about the recent US Anthropic ban news, what it says about power and dependency, and what it should mean for Europeans and citizens of the world. It's a long one. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/13/a…

Back in November, @UnicornFundETH and the community supported us via Proposal 32. Massive thanks! 🙏 We have kept our heads down and kept shipping. Here are a few highlights covering late 2025 and 2026 so far. Everything is 100% open-source...

Calling a Tube strike in late April seems incredibly self defeating. Oh no I’m going to have to e-bike along the river through this magnificent city in the spring sunshine

Been drinking pretty much only Diet Coke to save water for Claude

maybe hackathons should have a token limit as well as a time limit

"the way a person does one thing is the way they do everything" showed up twice on my timeline recently. @DavidSHolz likes it, @mariogabriele thinks it is "obviously incorrect". maybe they are both right (wisdom is subjective) azfuller.com/blog/wisdom

I'm really amazed at how many people don’t appreciate the sky. It’s literally a pleasure to watch the clouds, the stars, the sun, and the moon.

the QuickSlots ⚡️🎰 website is live, and I'm very proud of the design! take a look! quickslots.info/ QuickSlots is the pragmatic way to get Ethereum to run much faster

Lately, whenever I open this app and see the latest tricks, and hacks, and notes, and workflows, and spec here and skill there, I can't help but think: All of this will be washed away by the models. Every Markdown file that's precious to you right now will be gone.

It does bother me that it costs money to code now

Ethereum is getting faster. Deposit time from L1 to L2s and exchanges goes down to 13 seconds. This is the new industry standard. Rolling out in the next few months x.com/_julianma/status/20338…

they should show how many times people clicked the Grok "Explain this post" button on a tweet

In the AI gold rush, picks and shovels are cooked Harness, orchestration, all the AI middleware is being eaten by the labs Don’t sell picks and shovels - Sell jewelry

LLMs are living off the moral and intellectual capital of a pre-AI world, just like Nietzsche said secular liberals live off Christianity. What happens when the inheritance runs out? Using LLMs well — knowing when to trust them, how to interrogate their outputs, what questions are worth asking — depends on capacities that are pre-LLM in origin: critical judgment, domain expertise, philosophical seriousness, taste. People who use LLMs well right now tend to be people formed by traditions of deep reading, argument, and intellectual discipline that were not themselves produced by or optimized for interaction with language models. The tool works for them because they bring something the tool cannot supply. Nietzsche thought secular liberals were coasting on the fumes of a Christian metaphysics they'd officially abandoned. The shadow of God lingering on the cave wall. The question is whether LLM-native thinking is the same kind of afterglow.

As Shakespeare says, if you're going to do a thing you might as well pop right at it and get it over.
