I love it!!! I want a feed that is entirely like that!! Just Children Commenting on Landscapes!!!

so like is life in that galaxy kind of fucked long term? Kind of love hate the idea of being one of the solar systems in the wake thats just flung on its own

raw python = boomers conda = genX pip = millenials sentry = genZ uv = gen alpha

Happy Monday

You can also limit QTs for a reply in another person's thread. They can still use a wild doxxing tool on you that blends your avatar and name with the take they particularly hated, in one png, making this nugget of hate requotable, but oh well, still friction. Friction is good!

Tried tree.taiga.io for an actual project, and it's awesome! (so far haha). Doing Kanban rather than scrum, for 3 people. My only complain so far is that tags don't color stories in kanban the way epics do, but adding an epic is 4 extra clicks. And you can't set an epic at story creation

The quote below is from Armin Even with copilot, commits now feel more like PRs. PR UX has enough space to store prompts, had we wanted to. But commits kinda don't - at least not with the interfaces we typically use for them. But also, updating the docs! prompts are DoDs, they are almost docs!

omg what a tour de force!! Meta-analysis of spatial segregation of immigrants in Europe! Berlin is more mixed than London, Paris, Amsterdam, but less mixed than Warsaw, Madrid (I actually don't find segregation entirely bad, coz local flavor, China Towns and "Little Italies" have their charm!)

til Mintlify - smth smth llm documentation platform This topic both interests and worries me. I tend to think that I write docs exceptionally well, but I don't have the capacity to update them realtime, when developing fast. Is it possible to gain speed without dropping the quality? Curious.

Chopin writing three versions of a single phrase just to play around the 1845 copyright laws and publish the same piece in three countries simultaneiously??? (see the thread for more context)

If anyone in my bubble is looking for a DS job in EU (at Polish salary levels), hit me up! (dm open) Python (think OOP, mypy, pydantic, pytests with fixtures), Pyspark, Databricks, Azure. Time-series or product supply experience are a plus :)

Snow anomaly as of now. Red = less snow than usual, violet = more snow than usual.

Sandbox mode for people who are here for ideas and creativity PVP for people just here to fight

Tbh I find all the recent dunking a bit depressing. You invariably end up preaching to the choir. There's not much educational content in it, no joy, no resistance to those in power. Just mocking ppl who are already upset and confused. Better to avoid doing it imho.

Reminder that you can be kinda chill even on the internet.

I will say bluesky has recently made a transition for me *specifically wrt housing and transit* from exile to “oh the actually exciting discussions really are happening here.” It sort of coincided with good mood around Zohran’s primary win but that’s not the causation.

good, smart robotics and automation

Good grief this might be the most beautiful video I’ve ever watched. You’ll need to have some idea of how LLMs work internally to follow along, but the findings of the papers presented in this video are incredible. youtu.be/D8GOeCFFby4?...

At this point I genuinely wonder if the original water usage story was a russian psyop. The level of conspiracy injection on both basilisk and parrot sides of the story feels so chaos-adjacent...

"Across the highest adult performance, peak performance is negatively correlated with early performance" Is uite literally what you'd see if coliderbias:

Americas issues are sadly far more pervasive, Europe's (rarer) domestic terrorism seems so much more sadly addressable by... not doing the stuff this article talks about! Dont build a permanent abused underclass!

3yo: “daddy’s phone is in his pocket!” me: “that’s true!” 3yo: “why isn’t mummy’s phone in her pocket?” me: “… buckle up, kiddo, we’re gonna discuss five hundred years of fashion and misogyny”

Human psychology is not made for zero or degrowth

i should say “sing in with your AT handle” is easily my second favorite. sounds exactly like @ handle, but clear tie to AT and visually different doesn’t require so much arguing, capitalizes on AT wordplay but it needs to link to normie explainer etc

Super-cool, and demonstrates just how weirdly interlinked the "manifold of knowledge" is. You pick at one teeny-tiny statistically non-existent dimension (bird names) and move it in one teeny-tiny way (from 21C to 19C). The entre system moves most weirdly, with values, facts, assumptions changing!

I didn't get the sentiment at first, but it's a good point: if the authentication uses ATProto Handle (of which bsky is just one part, even if a big part at present), it should say so. Log in with your ATProto Handle (and then maybe e.g. username.bsky.social in gray in the input field)

Oliver Sacks admitted his case studies in The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat were fraudulent “fairy tales”. What Psych101 core texts are left? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

love relaxing with a chill game after a long day at work... ("The Farmer Was Replaced" on Steam)

Haha I like this metaphor, but read in the opposite way! Language felt like armor on top of our thoughts It turned out that it's indeed an exoskeleton, but it articulates so well, one can use it insect-style, by attaching muscles from inside. A slug-knight! Without an actual spine! Fascinating!

So that means AI is basically responsible for about 0.05-0.13% of global emissions. That’s right. At most it’s around a tenth of a percent.

Say you're working in copilot (agentic, skills enabled) on a giant idiosyncratic repo. MkDocks exist and are well-writtenn, with some "getting started" .md and guideline .md Would you try to write a code skill just naming the repo and pointing at the docs? Or several skills? Or is agents-md enough?

Anthropic publishes Agent Skills, an open standard for skills. Skills are used to expand an agent's capabilities -- agents can go "load" a specialty, much like how Neo learns kung fu. This is a big step. Skills are an important way to expand procedural memory for agents. 🧵

People are willing to forgo a significant portion of their earnings—between 12-36% of their wages—to avoid hostile work environments. Women exhibit a stronger aversion to exclusionary workplaces and environments with sexual harassment.

> If you can reduce a problem to a robust test suite you can set a coding agent loop loose on it with a high degree of confidence that it will eventually succeed. I called this designing the agentic loop a few months ago. simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/30/...

Interesting: I am hearing both inside Meta and inside Google AI coding models simply don't work nearly as well as they do outside: Models work great on greenfield projects and when using standard tooling. Both Meta and Google have monoliths and non-standard tooling!

thread (news, insightful, far-right, international relationships, business impact)

As I mentioned a few days earlier, in 2015 I would have downloaded this video and included it in my neurobilogy course. In end-2025, I check if it's old, it's not old (Dec 2025 apparently), which means it's probably generated. Even tho it doesn't look generated.

Exposure to regition (Thiel-style AGI millennialism) begets an opposite religion (linear algebra declared onthologically evil, as @atticusgf.bsky.social has nicely put it), and then normies who want to maybe improve the world a bit get stuck between two bloodthirsty camps and it's kinda weird :)

seriously though, I understand societal risks from these things but you absolutely want an idiot to type in a question about autism, vaccines--whatever topic that's saturated with misinformation--into an llm than a standard google search. it is going to be far harder to get bad info.

Today, we're rolling out a new suite of AI-driven global weather models, including a "first of its kind" hybrid ensemble system! Want to get geeky with us? Come check it out: www.noaa.gov/news-release...

this is related to what the "Never AI" folks find uncomfortable. We will, I swear, never be able to teach Akkadian to enough students to translate the tablets we have....so what now

Wow that's totally unexpected. For a long time it was my absolutely favorite book ever. I assigned chapters from it to students! Damn.

Now the same thing, but with your bsky history instead of obsidian. Collecting and melting nuggets of interesting observations from thousands of fleeting notes

Post-publication peer review is at it best when it's thoughtful, scrupulous, steeped in detail – and challenges key claims of the paper. @janhove.bsky.social's discussion of a recent paper on multilingualism exemplifies this.

That's horrible, I absolutely don't endorse 😭

So are we moving to gitlab now? bitbucket? What's hip on the block?

"Stochastic parrot" just statistically selecting the next token. Not actually intelligent.
