it's still funny to me that the save button is a floppy all these years later. it's societal design debt.

I asked for a "kubrick camera slow truck moving forward into space" - I was so confused for a second, but then I realized it gave me exactly what I asked for, like, exactly.

MARA has spearheaded a new form of Bitcoin art having carefully constructed 2 Bitcoin blocks such that fees visually rendered on mempool explorers display as pixelated art.

This morning, the company mined its 2nd piece, co-created by Anduro protocol contributor @portlandHODL and MARA VP of Design @lhurtado —which displays an image of President-Elect Donald Trump on Bitcoin mempool explorers by adjusting the size, fee rate and order of all transactions in Block #879613.

Congratulations to MARA and our incoming President!

Not a fan of the typeface that was used for the Civil War movie title design. It's a bit too 'modern/designey'. I would've gone something probably more on the nose, but feels more on-brand. #civilwar2024 #LogoDesign

Killer thread on the realities of SoraAI for Video Professionals,
- only exports compressed video
- no LOG color-space
- long queues
Akin to: "do I brute force it in 1 hour? or come up with a fancy technical solution that could take 15 minutes to days?
