So TIL X's search just does not work if you specify certain words to exclude. It literally just treats them as words to search for instead. Smh.
I started watching Severance about 5 days ago. I really liked the first season, but the second season is a bit meh. I feel like the constant staring thoughtfully while suspense music plays in the background is a bit overdone at this point.
No one knows why X is down because X is down.
My most asked question to ChatGPT has changed from synonyms for words to puns for words. ChatGPT isn't good at puns, though.
Why is it 2025 and we still have blind signing? Particularly on hardware wallets? Am I missing something?
Why is it 2025 and wallet browser extensions have to be allowed to read and change all data on all sites, and change anything I copy/paste? These are red flag permissions.
t1 and Espresso are having a small, IRL workshop in Denver to discuss synchronous vs asynchronous composability, and if there is any use for synchronous composability at all. Here's the link to apply if you are interested!

How is it 2025 and none of my mobile wallets work for Kaito.
On Wednesdays we wear pink; on Thursdays we talk about Composability.
Come to Composability Day from 12:00-6:00pm, February 27th! There will be workshops and presentations from projects all across the interop spectrum.

When will someone publish the first paper listing AI as a coauthor?
I love hearing about people’s lives, so here’s how I ended up in crypto and working at @espressosys.
In my last year of college, I took a blockchain class just because I needed another elective to graduate. Turns out, I absolutely loved the class. (Which says a lot considering I was not having fun otherwise.) I've only been interested in crypto ever since.

Patrick Stewart was 47 when he played Picard. If my skin looks as good as his did back then when I'm 35 I'll be ecstatic.
Me: I'll just type a quick response to this X post.
Me 1.5 hours later: Wow did I just spend 1.5 hours on one post?!

What are some decaf recs? I want to try going zero caffeine for a few weeks.
Research stats for this position? Nah, I live in Philly, that's all the research I need.
X X-posting some stream-of-conscious thoughts on why shared sequencing failed (or hasn't?)
https://x.com/cryptobuilder_/status/1885791830752571515
TL;DR: I'm still hopeful that forms of shared sequencing can play a role in L2 composability and decentralization. Shared sequencing didn't work out as a narrative because: it was too early, L2s didn't want to give up sequencing rights, and centralized sequencers offered more benefits to users.
Here's how I see things: 🧵

There is an asymptotic relationship between synchronous and asynchronous composability.
This is a visualization of that asymptotic relationship.
But what is the difference between really fast async composability and synchronous composability? It's that atomicity of messages is enforced at the L2 STF level.
Atomicity in this context means the STF guarantees that some message A is sent/recv iff a future message B is sent/recv. The STF can do this by expanding the scope of its unit of atomicity (a transaction or a block) to include another chain's unit of atomicity.
In other words, an async atomic message scheme needs to be built on top of the STF. A sync/atomic message scheme is built inside the STF.

I am officially super into Rosé and Blackpink now.
I got such a nice flat bed this morning! And I’m having beans I got in Thailand. They’re more floral than I usually go for, but they’re still good!
Wait, does -EV not stand for electric vehicle?
We, as society, use too many exclamation marks.
I didn’t think this would bother me, but I gotta be honest, it bothers me. 😅
People always say it's smart to be the dumbest person in the room. But that means that the other people in the room, who are smarter than you, are actually dumber than you because they're not the dumbest person in the room. And now you're dumb because you aren't the dumbest person in the room either.
I eat fish most days of the week, and I only just now read the fish section of The Food Lab. OMG my fish could have been this good the whole time?!
Literally just my cast iron, salt, pepper, tiny bit of oil, and fish = delicious if you cook it right.

Oh, thanks YouTube, this is a great playlist suggestion.
Alright, people have some good examples, but I'm still convinced 95% of crypto things can be related to the mail and/or post office.

Name a crypto-related technical concept that can't be explained using an analogy to mail. I'll wait.
I do not want to turn on reactions, the X on the popup does not work, and it shows up every time I use my camera. This is new "automatically start using your phone as a camera when you join a meeting" setting.
ChatGPT is getting better and better, but it still wasn't able to find which movie out all the ones ever made had a character say a specific phrase that I might have misremembered.
Hot take: Thieving is the second best skill (behind Woodcutting).
Cool take: Agility is the worst skill.

It's chilly/chili season 🌶️ ❄️
To each their own, but I just really don’t get sparkling water.
