Haven't seen a lot of chatter on o1-mini yet, but for me it is the sweet spot between speed and performance. It plowed through quite a few tasks that Claude couldn't handle and response wait times are very reasonable.

I am enjoying learning more about the Chinese tech ecosystem. Any recommendations for a complete foreigner to better understand the landscape? Books, blogs, products ...

It is my first exposure to the Chinese tech ecosystem. Any other recommended readings on the topic?

Every day I am reminded that I can't access X without paying a huge fine. Most of my Brazilian friends have already forgot about it 🥲 Slowly boiling the frog and taking civil liberties away.

Pop up cities and network states are some of the most promising tools we have for better governance. Great to see efforts being made in translating those ideas to wider audiences!

If Twitter/X is serious about free speech and neutrality it should decentralize. Unverifiable neutrality is not the way.

Law is mostly poorly written software. No refactor, no unit testing, no monitoring, deploy to prod, not data driven...

There are 3 components to the X ban in Brazil: 1. X not complying with court orders 2. Court banning X 3. Fining users $10k per day Not making the distinctions makes for very unproductive conversations. It is a slunk dunk that X should be banned it not compliant. That makes it very easy to avoid the other topics.

this feel free to argue about X ban in Brazil, but fining users 3 years of minimum wages for using X is tyrannical

Today was a sad day for Brazil. We were all blocked from X and if I insist on using via a VPN I am liable to pay 3 years of a minimum wage salary. Grateful for farcaster and to everyone pushing agendas that empowers individuals.

Finally on Farcaster! FYI @dwr.eth and @farcaster, it is very hard to sign for Farcaster in Brazil using Android devices. Google Play refuses payments. 🤷 Any way to get this streamlined? Working on a Frames workshop for the ETH Samba hackathon this weekend.
