Just got through Brussels customs. Wow that was a real dumpster fire. 🛃

…but then a customs agent pulled my wife, 4mo daughter, and I out of line, saying he didn’t want the baby to wait.

Dude literally had left his customs window after seeing us, just because. 🥹

While it’s by no means a scientific measure, lately I’ve found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet has been producing much, much better output than ChatGPT 4o, which is really saying something.

Anyone else had similar experience? Different? What’s been better for you?
Page Properties are really nice since becoming first-class. One thing I’m still hoping for though is a List property that is filtered based on a defined tag.

That way “People” property could suggest pages tagged with #person…

Or a “Status” property could confine suggestions to #status/…

Travel is booked, and I’ll be heading to Brussels for EthCC! Looking forward to jamming with y’all on group chats, /xmtp, and making web3 work for everyone.

Any get-togethers or events that I can’t miss?
A MASSIVE upgrade to /xmtp just arrived on the production network: Group chat is now live!

It’ll take a bit for clients to be updated to use groups, but devs can jump in today.

That’s not all though—it’s also a major security upgrade with improved privacy!

A new extension to Frames just got previewed by Warpcast: Previews! They would open up for some more expressive ways of interacting with Frames…pretty cool if you ask me.

Would love to see them added to the /open-frames spec!

Incredible to see FIT21 pass, and couldn’t be prouder to see my congresswoman, Rep. Susan Wild’s Aye on it!

Engage with your elected officials. Call them, sit down with them, help them learn about your industry any way you can. They want to hear from constituents—put a face on the issue for them.

It works! 🚀
Tomorrow, a historic crypto regulatory bill will move to vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. FIT21 will create clarity where only regulatory uncertain exists today.

We need everyone to pitch in with their support. Start by going here to send your rep a message:

My Raycast ⚡

- Invoked with press of (J+K) two-key chord
- AI Raycast with (J+K+L) chord
- Emoji with (K+L) chord
- Snippets for lots of things (;) as prefix
- AI Commands for things like "Reply to Email" pre-configured with my voice
- Control Home Assistant
- Much more
So glad this channel exists. Raycast is second to a fresh Mac install only to 1Password at this point.
Team keeps building. Reach keeps growing. /xmtp is delivering. 💌

Today is my son Nash's "Take Your Child to Work Day" so we're learning all about entrepreneurship, blockchain tech, XMTP, and more. In learning about blockchains, we minted some NFTs together, inspired by his idea for a time machine.

Go collect them all—they're free!

gm to Mae Josephine Galligan 💚

Feeling so grateful to have a happy, healthy baby girl with mom also recovering well. Many happy days ahead. Her brother and sisters are over the moon and she is so loved.

🥰
Tip for anyone attending ETHDenver:

Do yourself a favor and go spend some time at Little Owl Coffee. Get a cortado for sipping, and a pour over to take away.

It’s really, really good.
Subscriptions 🤝 Universal Allow/Block
💌 XIP-43 permission proofs 💌
Last week /xmtp got network-level allow/block prefs, which are shared between client apps.

So how can opt-in senders (e.g. subscriptions, newsletters, notifs) skip request filters now?

That's where a new XIP (permission preference proofs) comes in:

This week’s subscription bag.

Yirgacheffe’s are always good IMO. They’re so plentiful among craft roasters, so it’s fun to see their similarities / differences from each.
Anyone else buy their coffee via subscription, to make at home?

What are your subscriptions?

☕️ Right now I use Trade but may just start rotating regular subscriptions from Blueprint Coffee, Passenger, and Onyx because they’re always great.
Feels like a dumb question but: are direct casts supposed to work on web desktop and mobile at the same time?

They work fine on my mobile app, and I see the conversations in my inbox on the web but clicking on them does nothing—only a blank page.
Wanted to see what it was like to make an NFT on /zora, put it on /base, and then into a frame via /neynar so here we are!

Used DALL-E 3 and Midjourney for the art.

Mint is free, open for the next week. Enjoy!
