We see some issue with creation of baskets.

1. Searching for some tokens don't show up. 
2. Searching with a some smart contracts don't show up. 
3. Form expands and shortens based on the search query. 

@zadkielm is looking into some of them.

when i upload an image, it immediately uses it as a seed to create some random similar images, when what i want is to convert said image into an ad and/or a particular style, any tips?

Why aren't there more compelling "consumer" crypto "apps"?

1. Up until recently, blockspace was expensive and slow. In the last year, that's no longer the case. Also embedded wallets / smart contract wallets / Passkeys will continue to make it straightforward to make any crypto app aware. On-ramp APIs are also much better (but still the largest point of friction for a pure consumer app).

2. It's 2024 — the consumer web is 30 years old and the modern smartphone era is almost 20 years old. Internet software is a mature industry. Obvious ideas (regardless of whether they involve crypto) are solved.

3. So if it's an existing idea + crypto, you usually getting, at best, a 10% improvement. It's not a 10x improvement. And if it's not 10x, you won't really get people many people to switch. (And for the last 2 or so years, crypto's brand association has been more negative, so if anything it's made a product overall worse from growth standpoint.)

Books

Plutarch’s Lives

I only read four of the fortyish biographies, but I counted it on my list because they’re all isolated and the four amounted to book length. 

The two historical figures, Cicero and Marc Antony, were presented in a different light than I’d seen them in before. The two mythological figures received more familiar treatment, but in greater detail. 

I’ll definitely return to this. It’s great for those of us who think about the Roman Empire every day.

I got into The Great Mental Models, written by Shane Parrish. This is the edition about general thinking concepts. In order to understand the purpose of this book, we have to understand the current state of our education systems. In our day and age, children are conditioned to repeat well established facts without asking further questions. The process of creating compliant individuals is called indoctrination. And that has nothing to do with education. A more desirable education system would rather focus children on ways of how to think, instead of memorizing what somebody else believes to be true.

Thanks @dwr.eth actually for recommending the new Sebastian Junger book awhile back.

BUILD

Do Basenames support sub-domain ?

i.e 
dev.Productclank.base.eth
Treasury.Productclank.base.eth

etc.. ?

$BUILD is now a public good and 100% community-owned.

🫡 163B $BUILD airdropped to 40K+ members
🫡 16 ETH added as liquidity on Uniswap
🫡 380B $BUILD burned

No treasury, no gatekeepers—just builders supporting other builders.

🚨 ALERT 🚨 Just checked the #BTC order book at 9 AM UTC - that MASSIVE 80k to 72k resistance zone? GONE. Poof. 💥

BUT WAIT - 78k is LIT 🔥 Whales are THROWING DOWN like it's the Super Bowl of crypto! Buy walls thicker than a Marvel superhero's plot armor. 💪

NGL fam, these big players deserve a salute 🫡 Their diamond-handed energy? Legendary status.

LFG! 🚀 Bulls charging HARD this morning.

@chicbangs.eth x /los-fomos is the vibe i've been waiting for my whole life

house-infused carrot and jalapeño tequila, orange, lime, demerara syrup, ginger, tajin rim

Farcaster has no viem 

So working with hubs is a pain like early Ethereum 

Will be fun to see anyone continue what started as fhub and build great dev tooling on top of hubs beyond typescript interface to the API like the current Hubble nodejs 

For anyone doing it lmk if I you want my input

Gadgets

need a laptop to buy (and then return) while my thinkpad is in service

what should i try?

requirement: should NOT be heavier than thinkpad x1 carbon gen 10 (~1.12kg) + 13-14" display, durable and premium feel, min 32gb ram

and before you suggest: macbooks are all heavier than this

Wish you a great start to the week💙

We say farewell to the Exumas today, blessed to have passed through these magical azure waters and their endless shades of blue twice in the past twelve months.

The last six weeks, in particular, we have been blessed with amazing company—boat friends from around the world whom we have had the pleasure of sailing with, as well as friends flying in from Australia and Canada to spend some time with us.

Nothing is forever, and the winds of life take us all on different journeys. It has been a bittersweet few weeks, as we’ve had to say goodbye to some amazing friends from around the world—friends we’ve been sailing with for quite some time.

Christian
