Content defined chunking and contend addressed storage rocks indeed!

TIL about Off Protocol! A podcast from the Bluesky DevRel team with coversations around the AT Protocol and the open social web.

Floating point numbers would be AMAZING to have on the atproto for scientific data - a huge amount of data is floating point, and not being able to have them here adds a lot of complexity to posting things. This is a great proposal from @vmx.cx that demonstrates how they could be added:

Really enjoyed this talk from @bcantrill.bsky.social on why trust _is_ infrastructure. youtu.be/WF7J7qtZ8TA Recommended watching!

Wrote a small post advocating for more mindful sharing of raw AI outputs. I'm feeling it more and more (specially at work) and would love to reiterate it once more in writting.✌️ davidgasquez.com/keep-your-sl...

New post: Tagging my blog with BERTopic and LLMs. I suspect as token costs increase, we'll see more blended traditional ML/LLM systems. And, in general, they work really well! vickiboykis.com/2026/05/18/t...

You are more than welcome, @antirez.bsky.social.🙏 Creating opportunities & expanding horizons is our collective responsibility in the Age of AI.🌌 ▶️ pi.audreyt.org Let’s #WagePeace🕊️ & #FreeTheFuture — together!🫂 #LLAP🖖

Wrote about why the AT Protocol is the ultimate API for you and your agents! davidgasquez.com/atproto-agents We need more people building on the atmosphere!

I dont want to interact with your agent, I want my data!

What an awesome line-up of humans working together! 😍 github.com/antirez/ds4/...

Remember to "not let anyone hear you be balanced about AI" folks!

Great companion talk from @hannes.muehleisen.org! youtu.be/RQBhuL9Ve8g Yay to relying on standard web technologies like HTTPS!

"Even more bugs are inevitable, software is all going to become probabilistic now" is cope. "AI bug-finding means we have to embrace closed-source now" is a psyop. Writing buggy code has moved from hard to trivial. Writing secure code has moved from impossible to hard.

Impressed how far the skill has gone so far. It might still do silly errors, but at least there is a first line of defense against random data requests.

I think @antirez ds4.c is important! I wrote down my thoughts on why I built pi-ds4 and why we need to focus our local model efforts stronger than we do currently. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/5/8/loc...

When people are pressured to meet a target value there are three ways they can proceed: 1) They can work to improve the system 2) They can distort the system 3) Or they can distort the data — Donald Wheeler commoncog.com/goodharts-la...

Keep your agency and feel the friction! mariozechner.at/posts/2026-0... Must read post by @mariozechner.at.

This took a bit longer. Here is the blog post about how to get @iroh.computer to work on an esp32: www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-on... It requires some patches to main, but we have made progress making the patch smaller. If you want to try it out, here is the repo: github.com/n0-computer/...

Started using Tobi's QMD recently and wanted it to be more declarative. Wrote a 10 line wrapper so it read a local project folder and index db. This also makes the index.yml easy to version control and share! github.com/davidgasquez...

In earlier eras of computing unreliable hardware forced system design discipline (checksums, retries, modularity). There is a lot of that we are rediscovering in the "Agentic Engineering" era! Wrote a small post about this idea. davidgasquez.com/reliable-unr...

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

Finally catched up with all nonzerosum.games podcast episodes over the weekend! Thanks for producing them in audio too @nonzerosumjames.bsky.social!

Once you experience shared lexicons and the benefits of a single portable identity, it feels like a new open network. But the most important part is that it practically works as an extension of the web. We can add social features to our websites without even mentioning atproto. Frictionless adoption

Made a silly CLI to run queries over markdown files and their frontmatter inspired by Obsidian Bases. github.com/davidgasquez...

AT Protocol is getting an IETF Working Group

New wallpaper perhaps?

Anyone knows if there is a chart with all the AT Protocol apps users over time? Would love to see popular and trending apps using AT Protocol!

Built a tiny pi.dev extension so I can launch task-specific agents. Each profile is a small YAML file: model, thinking level, system prompt, and allowed skills. Simple, contained, and surprisingly useful! davidgasquez.com/specializing...

New blogpost about atproto It's not federation, it's not a p2p mesh. It's a secret third thing: practical. www.pfrazee.com/blog/practic...

I hadn't spotted the link between Claws (the new category of personal digital assistants that started with OpenClaw and is rapidly expanding from there) and Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 but it's a pretty good one!

Cleaned and updated my notes on Agentic Engineering. davidgasquez.com/handbook/age...

Half baked idea and proof of concept but at least it is out there. I wrote about Tributary, a credibly neutral mechanism to incentivize and elicit useful datasets. davidgasquez.com/tributary-da... I worked on it 6 months ago at a research retreat (IERR 2025) but never wrote about it.
