wow they made my sleep paralysis demon the Eurovision mascot

here it is folks! lots of details to still nail down, but this is roughly where our heads are at for the design of a permissioned data protocol give it a read and let me know your thoughts!

soc tuah on that thang

CAYUTS

this is normal bluesky to a lot of people

oh this is delightful

gonna slap a 'i used uv before they got bought by sama' sticker on my laptop

perfect, no notes. -- my review of 4'33" by john cage

lol I got quoted in @arstechnica.com arstechnica.com/ai/2026/03/k...

starting playing esoteric ebb tonight and i don’t really have the words right now but i feel some sort of antipathy for how much this apes DE

Some very exciting news - it looks like the working group for AT Protocol at the IETF has been approved! (though not formalized in the datatracker just yet) This is a big milestone in the standards process. But is also just the start of the actual process - years of meetings & work ahead!

Turns out it didn't have legs

free idea for anthropic: load shed onto golden gate claude

my kid came home from kindergarten today and announced she was setting a trap to catch a leprechaun. apparently other kids at school always end up with candy and treats in their annual leprechaun traps, so she’s pretty stoked to see what she gets. I am begging other parents to fucking cool it

that kagi translate thing is great

damn i really have lost weight

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

buckets are out, spaces are in

a fuckin' meteor?

Okay, so caveating this by saying I'm not @conspirator0.bsky.social and nowhere near as expert. The operation has two main arms: the Abdelfattah cell (~877 accounts) and the Mahmouds Family cell (~124 accounts). Similar templates, but different infrastructure and different coordination methods.

I’ve determined that everyone on bsky either lives in MSP, the Chicago suburbs, SF, or the UK

"Stochastic Parrots" is wrong

This is a fair assessment, but I think it also extends beyond MCP. The same way you wouldn't "Log in with Google" to a third-party API/website you don't trust, you should not be authorizing third-party MCP servers you do not trust to handle your data in accordance with your expectations.

i've put the code up at tangled.org/aparker.io/a... for anyone who'd like to play along!

lmao opus 4.6 just one-shot decrypting the amtrak real time train data from their awful train tracking website

I see some people pushing back against it and it reminds me that I was part of the generation who first learned Java in college instead of assembly. There were similar concerns that we would be deficient as computer scientists. It hasn’t hurt my career. I expect the same will happen here.

i had 5 uninterrupted child free hours today and I managed to accomplish a filthy amount of housework

time for the cats to have like 2 good games then get smoked by Tennessee or something equally humiliating

i think that the entire supreme court should do ayahuasca together

Finally moved the homelab to @honeycomb.io and the o11y 2.0 gains for agents hype is real. Game changer using it with an agent. Fixed a weird tracing issue with like 2 prompts with Claude (using the skill/MCP) to review, find and fix.

one thing I do find exceedingly dumb about the MCP discourse is lamentations about token efficiency here's what's happened: everyone has built their MCPs like the fucking Chernobyl control room. this is a design decision being made, and people don't understand that they're making it

I need all of you to gaze upon this absolute unit of a cat that’s on RedNote

is it the pds or is it bsky

an underappreciated irony of modern life is watching people in a slack where average comp is at least 180k wishcasting for a revolution of the proletariat buddy, i got bad news for you about who the proletariat are these days

Yeah monetization is I increasingly think the original sin behind a lot of what ails the internet today. Eyeballs are what get you money, and a glazed over eyeball counts the same as an active and informed eyeball. Over time the tendency is always towards engagement bait.

A few people asked me to make an image of how much irrigated farmland would use the same water required for ALL ChatGPT usage. Here's the result of a rough botec, seems like inference and training are using about equivalent amounts of water, and power uses 5x as much

CLIs are definitely not more secure. That’s actually why we recommend developers build more remote MCP servers than local ones (unless necessary, like Ghidra MCP) because the whole idea of “install something locally with full machine access” to get some potential integration is kind of bad.

this is _wild_

wait what the fuck aetheros.computer is wild yall

Social media is like going to the casino but when you hit the jackpot bees fly out of the machine.

an oddly uncontested idea I’ve noticed is that “the best technology wins” this is rarely the case!

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

this is a really good thread imo

I loved reading this samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...
