"Why American-style polarisation is spreading across the West" Two words: algorithms and incentives. Mostly incentives. Until we modify or eliminate incentives, all we can do is watch as the fabric of society is pulled apart, strand by strand. www.ft.com/content/5060...

Is the time ripe for America to realize a non-binary political party system? #SeaMoThoughts

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is my anti-trump thanks for doing what you do

hear me out, @atproto.com is like democracy... it is up to we the people to make it succeed, not bsky the gov't we need to go out to other social and show them we got the juice! by posting content from here over on Big Social, preferable to seeing their content here, aka community growth hacking

Alice made her first private post to the @blebbit.app testnet

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

After a lot of tinkering, I finally have a good-quality map of the Qwen 3 4B Instruct 2507 vocabulary as taken from the center of the cloud. If you look at the density map you can see the black hole cluster dominating the sky. Mask out the 13 black holes and we find there's still an overdensity.

Started a topic on the #atproto community discourse about PLC abuse and filtering for mirrors. Running a mirror? It would be great to hear from you! It will help to inform the evolution of the PLC as we look to improve this core part of the network discourse.atprotocol.community/t/plc-filter...

Picard responsibility tip: Don't leave known, wide-scale problems behind for the next generation to solve.

lol, this is what Jira thinks about the #Epstein Files ftr, their password ratings are terrible, they should be calculating entropy

Every photo we post, every comment we send, every moment we lurk on social media platforms like Instagram feeds the profits of corporations like Meta. Meta whistleblower @kellystonelake.bsky.social says it’s time to stop participating in this system and de-throne Big Tech’s wannabe kings.

X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4580... did elmo get jealous of the "I get more visits from Bluesky despite having far fewer followers" and so now he's faking it?

If you are into CUE or just cuerious, join us for the launch party in 1 hour! #cuelang #launch #party

Hello, a PSA. Arxiv is the server that many academics use to discuss their work before it is peer reviewed. It is widely viewed as a blessing.

New York is a-changin'.

1/When @himself.bsky.social and I wrote about the future of US economic coercion we hoped that the tools could be used for global collective goods like climate. Now US “evaluating sanctions on officials sponsoring activist-driven climate policies”’ on.ft.com/4qJF3Ko

Mars, we’re coming for you. 🔴🛰️🛰️ Soon, our twin ESCAPADE spacecraft built for NASA & UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory will begin their journey to the Red Planet to help reveal how Mars transformed from warm and wet to the cold, dry world we see today.

Is Al a bad name for an #AI?

I wrote up some notes on two new papers on prompt injection: Agents Rule of Two (from Meta AI) and The Attacker Moves Second (from Anthropic + OpenAI = DeepMind + others) simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/2/n...

AT service operators and moderation thinkers: I put together an early proposal around infra abuse notices across organizational boundaries. really looking for feedback on this one, it is bait for counter-proposals and references to prior work!

@cloudflare.social wrote this vision post for Anonymous Credentials, which is an emerging proposal for a standard Sounds like it could be real useful in @atproto.com #atdev #atprotodev blog.cloudflare.com/private-rate...

PSA if you think a news article is dumb, DON’T share it. That just makes the problem worse

Added first example for using the @atproto.com packages to resolve identity and login to testnet. Kudos to the @bsky.app team for creating software that makes this the same as mainnet with just a single config value. (technically the id-resolver, not the agent) #atdev github.com/blebbit/test...

(Clears throat) Well, actually, the term "algorithm" -- named after its inventor, Al Gore -- includes any *decision* process. So in reality, Bluesky has had an algorithm ever since JACK DORSEY initially *decided* to fund it. In this thread I shall ... (1/297)

This was sounding way to blockchain-y to me until I reached section 6 (page 26) simple key recovery & ability to comply with the law?!

Picard civics tip: Becoming subservient to an oppressive regime shows profound disrespect to the people being governed.

I really kinda love this story. As much as adults freak out about kids communicating online and look for ways to block access to things, the kids will find a way to communicate. Even if it's in the comments of NPR podcasts...

the last one second is 🔥

playing ‘Guess Who?’ with ICE

Picard civics tip: Elect leaders the way you would hire crew members. Seek calm, control, and familiarity with how to operate the ship.

I'm proud to officially announce CUE Labs! I co-founded CUE Labs with @myitcv.io to build a Configuration Control Plane, solving config chaos with CUE. Our work also provides the stewardship for the @cuelang.org open source project. Read our launch post: cue.dev/blog/announc...

unhabitat.org/the-block-by... #minecraft is much more than a game

I remember trying to debug and modify a mod pack and the first step was to setup the deobfuscation pipeline. This is a great change. Microsoft has actually been a good steward of #minecraft, something that cannot be said about other acquisitions www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl...

Run independent @atproto.com networks, for testing and beyond, in docker compose or kubernetes, public or private Pushed significant updates today #atdev #atprotodev github.com/blebbit/test...

k3s.io (lightweight #kubernetes) is the bee's knees one liner, 30s, fully compliant Kubernetes distro up and running I'm happy to go on the record with this statement

Instead of "bubble", "wildfire" is used as analogy to support the idea that the end of they hype cycle is good because it will clean out the underbrush, return nutrients to the soil, and generally support the long-term health of the ecosystem ceodinner.substack.com/p/the-ai-wil...

waymo.com/blog/2025/10... Recall seeing a video from Google i/o many years ago that showed what lidar in snow looked like before and after their filtering, but search is so bad these days it is undiscoverable :[

This is one reason why @tanstack.com Query took off as it did; It enabled developers to seamlessly check off error handling, network caching, and more while building out data fetching. Invisible wins from work that needed to be done anyway is a huge W for any tool

I wrote a piece for @bakerinstitute.bsky.social about how decentralized social media is the future, leading to a sector that is more global and with smaller players. I probably should have run all this by someone like @mmasnick.bsky.social first, but hopefully I didn't botch things too badly!

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

“The benefits of liberalism, though, are largely not separable from the philosophy of liberalism…Far from being a boring and stale political project, we should remind people of the bold claims of liberal ideas and the astonishing success they’ve already had.” open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...
