I missed your point. I thought you were being too hard on yourself for ONLY DCA-ing instead of going for some other bet. :)


as someone who thinks you’re a good investor because of DCA, I personally think that you are following a risk profile that you are comfortable with. and if you think you will be comfortable changing the parameters on _any_ of the vectors you identified, what prevents you from making a bet even if it’s not with sats today?


There are some additional benefits:

- want to default to the threads following feed? There’s a link for that — https://threads.net/following
- don’t want autoplaying video / other such accessibility control, your user agent (browser) will allow additional tweaks.

the best web app so far is bsky.app. What would make it even better would be the addition of haptics support for things like like, post etc. This will only improve android experience as ios still prevents web haptics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mastodon and Threads have decent web apps. However, threads doesn’t allow disabling media/gif autoplay and mastodon design could do with some love.


I continue to recommend the web app for all the text (and image and video) based networks if you have an iPhone / any modern android device. It’s a LOT less tracking and you can enable ad blockers on top of that if you want to. Finally, it will also make the whole process a lot more intentional.

This is a banger of a start reviewing the pixel 9 pro cameras (using the xl) by @beccafarsace.bsky.social


I miss the days of text reviews of phones. I’ll see if I can write one about the pixel 9 pro when I get it.


A YouTube “reviewer” loses credibility when they don’t differentiate between Pixel 9 Pro and XL when they review. And that’s now 27/30 in this playlist i built.


I just transferred an eSIM from one phone to another while roaming abroad. Good Lord, I didn’t expect this to work so seamlessly. ❤

Debugging is going to be one fun event for an agent.

Truly end of an era. I remember poring over Anandtech articles and forums when building my first PC in 2002 with close friends. Athlon XP 1800 represent.


Traveling across Europe and I must say, Barcelona’s been my favorite city so far. <3


Has anyone been successful at transferring photos from google photos to iCloud Photos yet? I just don’t have the option to transfer it to iCloud Photos at this time.


I’m genuinely excited that I might finally have the phone that best resembles the best pixel in hand feel I’ve ever felt. #googlepixel  https://nostrcheck.me/media/77935de5fb26a505e6288abb7735ac859c6b0f5b7f7903387c789a758aea0d92/4d4af5c0c21238a14064c383de58e7b2d08524036cbda98514878a199000f746.webp

Not fully convinced this is the right symbol for summarize. But I do agree that it’s the best attempt yet.

⁂ I like this more than the concentric circles used by threads.

While overall, it’s the right summary, I would add that concerns from the Valley are totally overblown.


Honestly, the policy released by the Harris campaign is not impressive. I am mutually aligned on the outcomes here: bridge wealth inequality and help those in need weather the storm of inflation

But the actual policy proposals seem shallow and likely end up having reverse effects.

The web _could_ have been a “platform” that could have survived. People think that the web became defunct now? It became defunct when iOS purposefully chose to downgrade the web app platform in favor of the native apps to protect their 30% cuts. As much as Android didn’t degrade the web given the pressure internally from chrome, even they were not trying to fundamentally change that because more native apps means more gatekeeping control.

Just like how we should all support the federated and decentralized social media today instead of only threads / twitter. Everyone that wrote diatribes about how web apps suck (because iOS never let it flourish) should also take a look if they were championing the death of the web at some point.

iPhone's rise in JP is fascinating. JP, CA and US are the three countries where iOS has a greater share than Android. Interestingly JP is also one of Pixel's largest markets. The continued rise in APAC further cements that they are making some strong progress in gaining share from Android.

google’s ads usually have the feels down. dear sophie still hits me to this day.

something about asking an LLM with so much descriptive text makes the payoff… totally not worth it. esp when you realize the narration took far more effort. this ain’t it, chief.


i guess i don’t have a lot of queries that require uncensored work. but will keep an eye when it can be helpful!


i’ve almost never found it better than the other LLM bots / LLM search engines. also their UX is exactly like everyone else.


All fizz, no rizz.

This is a pretty big deal. It suggests that model development itself isn’t a big deal and that LLMs hit a local maximum. Model development needs something novel to cross this plateau.

have an app suggestion after a long time: Openvibe

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/openvibe-mastodon-bluesky/id1666230916

brings together mastodon, bluesky and nostr and soon threads. i still remember the energy around adium and omnigrowl. this has similar energy and also runs on Mx series of macs and is free.
