Wake up babe, new video format just dropped.

This remains the most popular blog post we’ve written on Orbiter. The Static Website Manifesto. https://orbiter.host/blog/the-static-website-manifesto/
The San Diego Padres are a very vibe-based baseball team. When vibes are high, they can beat anyone. When vibes are low, they score 3 total runs in 5 games and get blown out by mediocre teams.
I’m a big nerd and have been fascinated with collaborative editing for almost a decade. I implemented real-time collaboration at my own startup and while working on ClickUp Docs. It’s a hard problem even though there are robust and battle-tested solutions. This article presents a really interesting simplification. https://mattweidner.com/2025/05/21/text-without-crdts.html
You know what I’d pay for in a Farcaster subscription? Scheduled casts. You know how you can trust that I’ll pay? Because I paid for Super literally only for that feature.
I’m a huge proponent of this. We largely moved to this structure at Pinata. For example @llamafacts.eth who was hired as a frontend dev is contributing backend code now. We’re not perfect and there’s still some specialty, but it’s a far cry from where we were three years ago. https://blog.alexewerlof.com/p/when-a-team-is-too-big
NGL, this is the funniest thing I've written.
My youngest son drew Eminem as an M&M
Feels a little like Farcaster tips and rewards. Just one big circle. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-21/openai-to-buy-apple-veteran-jony-ive-s-ai-device-startup-in-6-5-billion-deal
No zkPhone in 2001.
This is why I’m not sold on agents.
In 2008, I went to this exhibit and was blown away by the scale at which a house could be automated. Smart homes as a concept weren’t new, but this was tangible yet out of reach still. Today, you can run all of this on a raspberry pi with a bunch of components you can buy on Amazon or at Best Buy. Pretty wild. https://worldlandscapearchitect.com/museum-of-science-and-industry-smart-house-chicago-illinois-jacobsryan-associates/
Remember when Farcaster was small enough that channel admins would get mad when multiple people posted about the same topic instead of commenting on the original post on said topic!
Google is going to end up winning the AI wars after all, aren’t they? https://blog.google/technology/ai/generative-media-models-io-2025/
Padres going through one of those stretches where it feels like they’ll never win again.
Linkin Park Meteora, easy.
I had to text my dad the other day to explain why he should be looking out for scams. The why is just as important as the tips for protection
Genuine question (and I know baseball of all sport has a long history of racism). With all this talk of how people seem to only criticize a lack of hustle with non-white players, is it possible that the criticism is pointed at superstars and non-white players happen to make up the majority of superstars?
The contents of this email from Coinbase are useful but the premise is disingenuous. They should state upfront that they lost control of personal information that can and likely will be used in social engineering hack attempts.
I don’t understand how SAG-AFTRA has a leg to stand on here. Jame Earl Jones himself and his estate agreed to let his voice be used in this specific way for this specific company. https://variety.com/2025/gaming/news/sag-aftra-fortnite-ai-darth-vader-unfair-labor-practices-james-earl-jones-1236403553/

This is wild and impressive. First of all, building games largely without proprietary game engines and code is awesome. Second, I didn’t realize how far C# had come. https://noelberry.ca/posts/making_games_in_2025/
