opus 4.8's take on this (with creative direction from me)

I don't think I'm going to continue this one, but a prototype: calling gemini 3.1 flash voice to read everyone's tweets as radio announcers as you drive down a lonely desert highway further intention was to model the car interior so you can fully fidget with things; lights, the radio, etc etc
Finding real, quotable examples is key to my blog writing workflow. Because Google and the default web search produce a lot of junk, I use Exa, HackerNews, web search, what I've already written, and internal company docs to do this, and I recently added @semble.so to this stack.
The computer now has a natural language interface and a replicator for software You think I’m going to do anything other than ensure this technology gets into as many people’s hands as possible? The fight isn’t whether we use this. It’s whether we can self host these models

I saw Tim Berners-Lee's NeXT box when I visited CERN and what blows my mind is the faded torn sticker saying "This machine is a server DO NOT POWER IT DOWN". There was some point in time that was the only web server on Earth. "Do NOT turn this computer off the World Wide Web is on it"
Yup

Interesting signal: Tailscale's co-founder (apenwarr) confirmed Tailscale SSH should work with Headscale. If you're self-hosting Headscale as your coordination server, that means you can get Tailscale's SSH features without depending on their cloud at all. Full self-hosted mesh + SSH tunneling.
Conversation here is very helpful framing for ATProto builders. The protocol has re-created the opportunity to restore the web as an open curation ecosystem that isn't controlled by any one platform, built not just on links between pages, but on the relationships between people, links and sources.

www.youtube.comour system of knowledge production is under attack from an extraordinary array of forces and if the people putatively on the side of maintaining it cannot commit to the most basic standards (not using fake citations, writing your own words, etc) I fear there is no hope
Dr. Holly Walters
I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
That's right

This is what “everything ecosystem” means. Bluesky isn’t going to build a longform blogging service. What they can do with longform (and many other atproto apps) is use the shared formats of the atmosphere to enhance the experience and interaction with your content, wherever you like to post.
this is an effective method of delivering hand-tailored propaganda to a billion people every day
