The internet feels more brittle lately

We can’t stop here

Took me four days to rebuild Conductor in Swift with near 1:1 feature parity (still some bugs, obviously). Did this on the side, of course, while working on my main projects/business. Software era gone innit.

Fuccit I’m going alone

They’re showing the OG blade runner at the local art house theatre tonight. Alas I have no friends nearby who are into 80s sci-fi. Alas I have no friends nearby. Considered going alone. Felt too lame. Might go Sunday.

Almost time ☘️

just noticed the apps feed. is that new? that's new, right?

A very small wooden desk that came with my townhouse that’s actually meant for doing makeup. An old monitor that flickers all the time, elevated by what I think was once a water bottle organizer and bows so much I’m pretty sure it will just break at some point. A MacBook plugged into an HDMI cable I’ve had since 2015. A Herman Miller Aeron. How I’m moving always.

Conversational

Extremely hurtful. Thank you for the chuckle @czar

Finding it overwhelming to keep up with all the AI news, releases, papers, etc., so I built Nexus. An open source, real-time 3D knowledge graph that maps the AI ecosystem. It ingests research papers, news, and product releases, then uses AI to figure out how everything connects. Browse: https://nexus.carapace.bot Contribute: https://github.com/99darwin/nexus

A couple of psychopathic tricks I use to quickly make myself relatable to others: 1. Pretend they look familiar. Make it my fault that I don’t remember why. Let them know it’s great to see them again either way. 2. Quickly create a shared joke then find a way to bring it up again before the end of the convo, creating an inside joke that now bonds you. Yes these work.

Fartlek intervals (the word will never make me immaturely chuckle)

clean graft

channels. narrowcasting. there was something there.

Wild to think that this distance is considered “recovery” but ngl it felt good, esp after 14 on Saturday. Just a few weeks out from race day now.

CT has essentially been gutted by X policies over the past few weeks. Their latest update enforces strict prohibition of any crypto promotions (disclosed or otherwise). They’re setting the stage for Farcaster, if only the users could see.
