It finally arrived! Will dig into @tjayrush essays tonight. I love seeing the thoughts of people I like and admire put to print. The user owns the data or the whole thing was pointless.

"Seeing somebody using your project in the wild, that never gets old. That always motivates you. Hearing people as you're walking by saying "you should just use Infura for that" ...that stuff's really addictive." Ep 05 with @egalano co-founder of @infura_io drops tomorrow

I am super excited to read @tjayrush 's new book "You Say You Want a Revolution: Essays on the Promise and Betrayal of Web3". It's pondering on issues that I too have been tortured by all these years of working in the field. Bought it with an onchain transaction though, which I can see in rotki :) So at least we are progressing but there is so many things we need to improve on! Onwards and upwards.

I'm speaking about my book tomorrow night in Philly. If you're in town, come out. x.com/decentralizephl/status…

So refreshing to hear from a team working with nodes, not APIs at @hoprnet during @web3privacy Prague event

Pedestrianize this and get an actual square, you lunatics

I think we never need to see another 404 page. Ever. If I type: household-objects.com/thing-…, the server should return the page for fans.

My city has a water authority because every child deserves drinkable water. They knew this 100s of years ago. Hell. The Romans knew this. The city should start building its own AI data centers. Every child deserves an AI assistant. Every single one of them.

Rittenhouse square is packed! The city should do open streets Saturdays too

I used TrueBlocks `chifra` command and Claude to do my Crypto taxes this year. A few hours. I'm very confident with the results. That's 1/10 as much time and 100 times more confident than any of the last 10 years. AI is worth something after all.

This idea is so goood I don’t understand how it’s not the standard. IPFS (distributed, self scaling), bloom filters and address centric.

The fact that even the all-powerful Claude 4.6 coding genius can't get timing issues correct for React is a powerful indictment of how fucking stupid and confusing React is.

new @METR_Evals research note from @whitfill_parker, @cherylwoooo, nate rush, and me. (chiefly parker!) we find that *half* of SWE-bench Verified solutions from Sonnet 3.5-to-4.5 generation AIs *which are graded as passing* are rejected by project maintainers.

To combat the growing "age verification" threat to our personal sovereignty, users need to fully take back control of both the application they run and the data they store. This can be achieve by running decentralized software using a local-first, p2p data store.

Very cool proof of concept by EF researcher @nero_eth, our co-author on the stealth address ERC standards, demonstrating privacy preserving agentic interactions using stealth addresses. This leverages our SDKs under the hood. Very nice!
