Fascinating, Zelensky coming out publicly more and more and saying that Trump is working with/for Putin. The Ukrainians seem to have determined that telling the truth is preferable to lying to please Trump.

Nice to see Amazon CloudWatch also finally adopt PromQL as a metrics query language! docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudW...

The Pakistani Prime Minister who was the intermediary for the ceasefire tweeted yesterday that it included Lebanon

Donald Trump beim Öffnen der Straße von Hormus. Die Meerenge ist jetzt praktisch auf. youtu.be/PVhYhLQ4Y64?...

12 ships x $2 million per = $24 million dollars. A day. To Iran. The Strait was open -- and free -- until Feb 28th

the strait of hormuz is in a quantum superposition of open and closed that only collapses when you try to take a tanker through yourself and see if you get shot at

I just wish I was as out of touch with US politics as JD Vance is

Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???

We now live in the United States of Disassociation. And I fear for what this means for our future.

"Even an elaborate cheating scheme won’t be enough to deliver Orbán victory if the polls are correct." This is a big deal, and it should give opponents of American authoritarianism hope.

I had to check but yes this is real

I recall a friend asking me in early 2023 when things like this 'new ChatGPT' would run on our own phones and me saying something like "oh probably not for another decade if we're lucky" I was very wrong (quantization is a hell of a drug) *(this is Gemma 4 E4B running locally on my Pixel 10 Fold)

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

We've just released Gemma 4!! Very strong models, small for you to run on your own hardware!! AMA blog.google/innovation-a...

hmm

My takeaway from Atmosphere: it needs to be WAY easier for builders to get paid So I built at.fund at.fund detects the tools you use, and tells you how to fund the builders who make those tools. And if you're a builder, it takes seconds to add records to that tell your users how to fund you 👍

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

yeah we know

in order for the king to die, first he would have to go half the way and become half dead. and then he would have to go half the way again, and become three fourths dead, and so on, an infinite number of times therefore he can never die and he will reign from the golden throne forever

AP did a fact check and the whole fucking speech is false (a big, beautiful, surprise!). apnews.com/article/trum...

Good thread and replies. Sure there are big problems in the world of AI, but a lot of the mostly uniformed anti-AI absolutists that I see on here are unfortunately becoming somewhat of an extremist bully movement causing a lot of harm.

native americans determined to not be birthright citizens; deported back to america

Wait, what

I once managed to leak a source map even before LLMs, so it's not like they're innovating

The German government is often quite rightfully mocked for being behind on digitalization (fax machines and all), but I want to point out some positive developments as well. Here are three digital experiences I've had in recent weeks that felt surprisingly good and where I expected much more pain:

we will likely find out soon whether the Linux kernel is offense-dominant or defense-dominant

I know there are a million more important issues that affect people's lives more directly, but somehow this whole White House demolition and subsequent obscene ballroom construction has such disgusting symbolic power that I find this pushback especially gratifying.

This collection of pardoned people keeps on giving

Interesting take, and I agree with pretty much all of it. Actually surprised at how well it summarizes my own opinions :)

random thoughts about attie

Watched this amazing video about renewable energy ☀️🔋 by one of my favorite technology/engineering channels and was pleasantly surprised by the absolutely 🔥 statement about Trump's fascism at the end. youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

VERY rough cut of VODS, these all need trimming, but the rough export looks like this: pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... I'm gonna go to sleep, more to come in the morning, but a cheeky link for the alpha testers because I love you all. Hey look, an HLS playlist! 😉 vod-beta.stream.place/xrpc/place.s...

Big news for the Atmosphere just announced. PLC org has been established #AtmosphereConf

I was wondering where I could see OAuth-connected apps for my Bluesky account and couldn't find them anywhere in the Bluesky account settings. Finally found them at bsky.social/account, which I guess makes sense in a way (PDS vs. app), but would be nice if the Bluesky settings could link to that?

Yes, the video streams were recorded! They will be published natively on protocol with @stream.place new video-on-demand (VOD) support. It will likely take us a little longer to get them all embedded in the website, but Eli seems to want to get them all uploaded real quick!

There's some groups of people (or accounts, at least) on Bluesky who are really loud on certain topics and always pretend to be speaking for everyone on the platform, but I wonder what % of users they actually represent.

OMG IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS 😍😍😍 🔭☄️ This is the first ever gravitational wave posted directly to the ATProtocol, in a machine readable format that anyone can stream in real time with nebra*: *(once I release v0.1)

This is art

Trump 2 started with companies paying corrupt bribes to Trump by “settling” totally frivolous lawsuits. Now Trump will order his DOJ to “settle” a series of frivolous lawsuits by his cronies as a mechanism for stealing your money straight from the federal treasury.

What to call this corruption other than a wholesale looting of the federal treasury by the President to benefit his supporters using a DOJ that is run out of his White House — but gussied up with the language and procedural flourishes of a normal settlement of a legitimate legal dispute.

I'd love to be at @atmosphereconf.org the next days, but luckily it looks like all the talks will be live-streamed on @stream.place as well 🥳 atmosphereconf.org/remote Now we just need YouTube-like recording and seeking within live streams on Streamplace ;)

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

hey we actually did most of what we promised last time! here's what we'll be up to the next 6 months or so 🕺💃
