A Return to Fun open.substack.com/pub/funfunfunc…

okay this was a really fun use of JAM that I did not see coming but kind of obvious in hindsight, a Solana compatible chain that doesn't have the centralization and stability problems (and *likely* faster and cheaper but that remains to be seen)

ASCII will not hold us Just released: d3.interpolate (Number) | Dirty D3 - Episode 4 #Datavisualization #d3js @d3js_org

We're so cooked, chat. This is going to one-shot Facebook Mom turbo normies. They have no idea what's coming. They're about to be gigafried with A5 Wagyu AI slop.

What is interpolation, really? | Dirty D3 - Episode 3 youtu.be/LOaqG--VWas #Datavisualization #d3js @d3js_org

... me to pay that kind of money? What would be WORTH $200 per month to exist, and the only thing I could think about was whatever combo would emerge out of @TheOmniLiberal and @HealthyGamerGG. I have no idea what the hell that would be, but I am sure it would be immense value.

I jumped on X to post a thought to tag two people I respect, please like if you agree to get their attention: @TheOmniLiberal and @HealthyGamerGG. After watching youtube.com/watch?v=0GykDf…... OpenAI wants $200/month sub whatever GPU slop... What ACTUAL content would be needed for

woop, the fff partnership with @augmentcode is now official, the developer AI that I've been using as my primary for the last few months - as part of this I requested some time with @guygr to pick his brain on how the hell one builds a dev AI: youtu.be/LEOSWYlQyVw

I just dropped a new Fun Fun Function video: youtu.be/aAP3m0PyGrY

@housecor A very successful venture capitalist once taught me that a great way to filter out solutions-looking-for-a-problem-ideas is to ask "how are people solving this problem today?".

A client of mine wants to try something wild: “Let’s provide the user an AI chat window so they can ask an LLM to change our interface.” Why? Then we don’t have to create different “skins” or “themes” for different clients. They can self-serve. Seems risky. Anyone doing this?

Good Monday Morning! Watch the live premiere later today of Dirty D3 - Episode 2: d3.scaleLinear (what are linear scales, not just in d3.js, but conceptually) @d3js_org #dataviz

@thecodezx @d3js_org oh dear, thank you so much 💛

@mpjme @d3js_org It could have been literally any topic and result would have been the same. we missed you ! Used to make my Monday. Welcome back

I never anticipated that an episode of such a narrow subject as @d3js_org would be one of my best performing video releases on Fun Fun Function but hey, one can never predict these things and I guess that I am not the only one that is making #dataviz the focus for 2025

@amirhouieh @d3js_org 😳🥹

@mpjme @d3js_org I don't think it's d3, it's you.

@Thedineshk24 Star Trek: Discovery (specifically that one). Watchmen (the 2019 series with Regina King). Arrival. Battlestar Galactica. The latest Dr Who with Gatwa is pretty cool. FIREFLY! FIREFLY! those are a few that come to mine, hope one speaks to you!

@Thedineshk24 not sure what would be *like* it really but when I think of Fringe as a trigger + what I've liked in recent years, then I think Severance is a must-watch. The Expanse is wild. Silo. Fallout. older series: Misfits. Dirk Gentleys holistic detective agency. Westworld. Foundation.

I like how @mpjme drops nuggets of wisdom that not only help in learning code but in life as well. I still remember back in 2022 when I was watching one of his YouTube videos where he gave a TV show reference as an example, The Fringe. After that, I ended up completing the whole series 😀. One of my favorite shows! It's great to see you back on YouTube, @mpjme. Looking forward to your Monday morning episodes on D3.js! youtu.be/dfVdFC4EGj8?si…

@quasi_askew thank yoouuuu

@mpjme So happy you are back. 💜💜 💜 Love the vibe and aesthetics of the new episode. Can't wait for scaleLinear!

First episode of Dirty D3.js dropping tomorrow Monday #dataviz
