My feed has devolved to crypto tweets and crap videos of nothing. Time to put this app away for a while ✌️
I have a new book out -- Large Language Models for Mortals: A Practical Guide for Analysts with Python This is an entry level book focused on using the foundation model APIs. Includes examples for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and AWS.
Hello all, It is tough to write this, but it is time to sunset the Permaweb Journal. Over the course of three years, it has been a pleasure to have the chance to work with and meet lots of great people, see many new places, and learn a lot about novel tech. Just a few years ago I would not have expected to work in crypto, nor to create a technical journal. This started off as a part time gig in university to put out some tweets and write docs for incubated projects, then last year I got the chance to create an online and print publication to introduce a new audience to this small corner of the web. The journal was an experiment in bringing together new types of content, media forms, thinkers, and writers. Coming from a non-crypto background, I was always interested in how I could weave in new perspectives to better understand this new technology. That is what we attempted to do with the journal. To be a bridge from non-technical to technical, from the online to offline. The journal did not succeed, but I still believe that telling stories and building with a focus on the exploration and celebration of humanity in our ever-connected world is very important. So I want to thank Sam and the rest of the Forward Research team for giving me a shot at putting together this creative project. And to the contributors, readers, and supporters, I thank you for all of the support. And to the owners of the print and readers of the digital, you are still early to something special. You own a piece of permaweb history. The time was not right, but I hope someday the work put out in the journal will resonate with someone. For now I will be moving on to explore a new personal project. More will be shared on my X (@afmedia_). Wishing all the best to the permaweb community. -Alex
