Hot sauces only dot com
I’ve probably tasted more than 1,000 hot sauces in my life. I love the bold flavor combinations and the sinister punch in the mouth that follows. But finding my next bottle wasn’t as easy as I wanted it to be, ever since my hot sauce hook up closed down, and existing sites never quite let me explore sauces the way I wanted. So I built Hell’s Pantry. And today, it’s live. Explore 500+ hot sauces, compare heat and flavor across seven dimensions, dial in your preferences, or take the quiz to find your next bottle. Built by a hot sauce lover, for other heat addicts. Try it out. Share it with your friends. Tell me what you think. hellspantry.com/

Brands opening up their product catalogs and ordering systems so you can buy directly from a review site would be an epic way to implement MPP or x402. Read a review. Like the product? Buy it right there. A much smoother path from discovery to checkout.

In the age of short-form brain rot, World of Warcraft Forever will test whether humanity can still be saved. Do we rediscover our love of exploration and adventure, or get bored after 3 months and move on? Either way, catch me playing Nov. 4.

Sometimes you meet people and think "Dam, you're cool..." They don't even have to do anything to prove it. You can just tell.

One of the biggest themes of this cycle will be tokenized asset reward platforms.

Ethereum ecosystem = Shopping at 5 stores for your groceries Maybe this is why Solana app revenue is 3x Ethereum's in the last month?

I’ve reached the age where I travel with my own pillow whenever possible. No idea how y’all sleep with the mega fluffy neck destroyers.

So do I play a Survival Hunter or a Subtlety Rouge…

The effort to build something is nearing zero. Feels like distribution and assets are really all that’s left. Bullish social media, search engines, influencers, and niche businesses with a savvy team willing to lean into AI.

DeFi Dad is right, but so is StarkNet. I spent 4 years building on StarkNet, because it was the best tech for what our team was building. But I also spent 4 years hoping (and actively trying) to see BD and marketing at StarkNet function in a way that didn’t scare off builders, users, and investors. Largely I think the issues came from a structure that is engineer focused, with community and marketing being second class citizens, under funded, and poorly staffed. In addition to this, the delineation between StarkNet and StarkWare from an org level was poorly managed. Marketing and comms were driven by StarkWare which was a mistake because those at StarkNet weren’t able to be fully in control of their own ship. (Hence why we saw cringe branding and comms that never cohesively took a consistent shape). However, with that said, I believe a lot of that is being resolved or already done. Today StarkNet is one of the few L2s still growing. Still shipping. Still providing novel open source research. AND most importantly their tech stack may actually be integral to keeping assets safe. StarkNet’s founder co-founded Zcash, he was an early BTC adopter, huge supporter of Ethereum, and is now fully leaning into post quantum via StarkNet. It’s easy to hate, especially in the hellhole that crypto can be, but don’t ignore what they’re building. Long live StarkNet.
This team has been insufferable for years In-fucking-sufferable to watch Idk anyone who uses it Idk a single protocol on it anymore But you are always here bitching like a whiny petulant child Raise money off L2 hype, brag to us you’re the best tech, FUD Ethereum, and cry when no one uses you. Just fuck off already @Starknet

Consider a world where we harvest resources from asteroids. It’s unrealistic to assume we can simply deliver all the pieces and parts for critical machinery and life supporting systems. Which makes it’s impossible to reliably harvest, because if a problem arises it’s either shut down and abort (if possible) or die. Space is unforgiving. So in order to reliably survive the inevitable breakdown of critical systems, a machine that can simply build what you need on demand is essential. This is the seed of what could turn into that machine.
After six years in stealth, Atomic Machines is out. Our mission: on-demand, universal command of matter. First beachhead: the Matter Compiler, an AI-native manufacturing system that builds working micro-machines from code alone. No per-product tooling. No process development. Different code, different machine.
