So psyched to be working with this team and on this opportunity. Lots to explore here, we are so early
Dune is infrastructure
For episode 2 of The Slow Hunch Podcast, please join me for a conversation with Muneeb Ali, co-founder of /stacks
We'll explore Muneeb's journey of discovery along the idea that /bitcoin can be the foundational protocol for internet-scale applications

I think it would be nice if each chart in dune had a description field. For example, I was just looking at this @drakula chart (https://dune.com/queries/3571905/6012367 )and I didn't totally understand what it was showing. I'd love a written description of charts. I think it would also be helpful to have comments which could be used for clarification & followups
Excited to try out my Meta glasses this 4th of July weekend
In particular curious to see how much this freaks people out vs just blending into the background

Writing is indeed composable.
One of my favorite -- and little known -- features on @paragraph is the ability to collect highlights
Here's a collectible quote from @jaredhecht.eth's post today on composable writing, riffing on @fredwilson.eth's post on writing as a conversation

I’m continually struck by how my 15 yo son is tuned off by ubiquitous computing and the attention it requires
I’m intrigued by lo-fi computing products like Daylight and techless / wisephone. But I’m somewhat skeptical that it can go mainstream
I’m intrigued by products like the meta glasses which somewhat hide the digital interface and don’t require primary attention

I’m really curious to think about whether smart hardware will catch on sooner in business vs consumer
Very hard to compete against Apple google et al in consumer hardware
But I also think the phone as form factor must end at some point
Smart hardware everywhere seems inevitable though, w more and more compute at the edge

This one has been elusive for so long
But feels really close now
Every meeting being recorded and transcribed by AI is a big unlock
But can one tool create a network effect across a team and provide more than just transcriptions? Granola is one tool that seems to stand out here
Will goog or msft just do this?

Summer has begun
This was a lot of fun
I have used this slide about crypto/web3 transforming finance and the web from an institutional model to a protocol model for about 6 years now and I always find it to be a useful explanatory tool

Great insights from Bethany here about working up a career in web3. This talk was given to a bunch of Columbia grad students and it felt like such great advice about how to navigate towards a career in a highly emergent space
Realized just this week that I have finally reached the age where I have a "good ear" and a "bad ear" 😡
I really miss the days of having a newsreader (eg google reader) or aggregator (eg Nuzzle) as my starting place for daily content. For a while I was using Feedly for but for some reason I stopped (maybe bad twitter support).
What should I be using? What do people like?

I’m honored to welcome my old friend Fraser Kelton to the first episode of The Slow Hunch Podcast, where we explore the often slow, twisty and unexpected paths that lead to big breakthroughs.
Fraser was head of product at OpenAI leading up to and through the launch of ChatGPT

I wish you could be more honest in Uber ratings. I feel like the app puts a lot of pressure on you to give a 5, and I feel like anything less than a 5 is likely punitive on the driver, so I always avoid it.
Am I doing it wrong or should I be fully honest?

so far, code has been created either to be read by machines (binary, compiled code), or by humans
Now, we're starting to merge the two
Tools like cursor are enabling teams to write code in a new way, such that it's human optimized and machine optimized at once
Gonna get weird!

this one is super interesting to unpack
will decentralized social protocols (FC, lens, bluesky, mastodon, etc) eventually interoperate?
If so, will this be driven first at the client layer, or at the protocol layer?
what does history tell us about the possibilities here?
