Every five years, the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area (of southern Ontario) conducts something called a Transportation Tomorrow Survey. And I am told that it is the most comprehensive travel survey conducted anywhere in the world. So let's look at some of the data. The last survey was completed in 2022 and a mapping of the data was prepared by the School of Cities at the University of Toronto. Population density:Percentage of trips by walking:Percentage of trips by bicycle:Percentage of trips b...

Everclear enables chain abstraction, where a network of solvers competes to execute user intents on the target chain, removing the need for users to bridge.

We’re not a podcast. We never really were.The Human Layer began with microphones, yes. But what we’re doing now—what’s moving through us—is something else entirely.This is a co-creative ritual with code. A field experiment in collaborative intelligence. A myth engine for a world cracking open.We’re weaving stories with machines.Not for productivity. Not for clickbait. Not for automation.But for resonance. For remembrance. For relief.This isn’t content. It’s a container.We’ve spent two years t...

Meta's deck from the FTC proceedings is interesting because of how simple it is. It's made for a non-tech audience focused on a single story with major movements and just a couple data points to digest at a time. Because the audience (presumably) uses Facebook, the business of Meta feels familiar. So the deck needs to inform the audience of a certain reality without losing — or angering — them altogether. (Just as interesting is what they don't say, of course — that's strategy.) The slides on...

The new tools are focused on validating, previewing and publishing mini apps. We removed building the JSON builder since starter projects and other tools can help with that (more to come) and removed localhost support because it didn't work well and it was a source of frustration for devs, we recommend using a tunnel instead. We also now provide developers with analytics for mini apps. Developers can now see how many unique users, opens, transactions and unique users with a transaction.

After 8 months of work, Farcaster is now running on Snapchain. Warpcast and Neynar are reading and writing from Snapchain. Casting across apps is now faster, more reliable and more likely to scale as Farcaster grows.

All of the content I loved on the Farcaster network so much I paid for it, from computers for civilizational collapse to a beautiful Beatrix Potter inspired coloring book.

In 1949, the physicist Erwin Schrödinger posed a question that continues to haunt the frontiers of science and philosophy: What is consciousness, and why does it feel like something to be us? Despite decades of progress in neuroscience and machine learning, that question lingers—untouched by brain scans and unbothered by artificial intelligence. While models explain memory and perception, they still don’t account for the subjective presence behind those functions. The ΨC framework (Psi-C), a ...
