These Ukrainian girls are risking their lives defending freedom, showing far more courage and “ethos” than self-styled “warriors” whose patriotism peaks in killing defenseless castaways. Let's stand together & support decency! Still €4,300 to go: euromaidanpress.com/lets-support...

Fascinating. Wasn’t there also a recent study about creatine and sleep? I wonder if there is some connection there?

A better Discover algorithm is crucial for Bluesky's success. Anyone have good ideas or know someone willing to take on the role? 🤖🧠 #mlsky

Great and immediately practical piece by @asmartbear.com. A lot of his writing is useful when reasoning about complex/fuzzy systems in general. longform.asmartbear.com/roi-rubric/

It’s wild when the people who control the only feed most people see accuse us of being the echo chamber. People are scared and in pain—they deserve spaces to talk without top-down interference. That’s what we’re building.

Bluesky mentioned! Thanks @codetv.dev and @brookslybrand.bsky.social, really fun format to ease into react router v7.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

Great strategy, positioning, marketing, and products read as “simple,” because they're born from clear thinking and writing. The process was likely messy, painful, protracted. Like an Olympian making it "look easy." Greatness appears effortless, but never is.

The ability to toggle individual notifications -- push notifs and in-app -- is on the way! 2-3 weeks out I'm preannouncing this because *this* week we're going to ship notifications for likes on reposts (and for reposts on reposts) and I know some folks will be wondering!

It's difficult to think of a more satisfying feeling then getting your data modeling right. All the incidental complexity just melts away.

Ranting about inline scroll areas

Do LLMs Think Like Humans? They find that, While LLMs achieve broad categorical alignment with human judgment, they falter in capturing fine-grained semantic nuances such as typicality and, critically, exhibit vastly different representational efficiency profiles.

We need more of this. Agree on the core issue, allow disagreement over everything else. Focus!

@skywatch.blue any chance you folks could add a label for calls to violence?

wrt people using bluesky vs twitter. I'm glad people are using bluesky for principled reasons. To the ones who are not, shouting at them is probably not going to make an impact. Bluesky has to win on that front by plainly being a better experience than twitter.

My approach to arguing with extremists online is pretty simple: I don’t. You don’t fight a forest fire by jumping into the middle where it’s hottest—you start at the edges, where it can still be contained. I’ve found it’s much more worthwhile to talk with people who are open to learning.

@saw6dev.bsky.social you might be interested in this thread if you haven’t seen it already

@hailey.at does this mean you folks are going to fix the Discover feed? I’m rooting for the Bluesky team and I think you all made the right call with focusing on the verified feature first! But I think the Discover feed being a wall of doomerism is not exactly great for the site.

Exceptional writing.

Does no one optimize bundle size? I couldn't really find any information on the web on how to go about it. All I could come across is this: github.com/btd/rollup-p... But it couldn't tell me *why* the dependency was being imported...

Updated paper by physicians at Harvard, Stanford, and other academic medical centers testing (the now obsolete) o1-preview for medical reasoning & diagnosis tasks: “In all experiments—both vignettes and emergency room second opinions—the LLM displayed superhuman diagnostic and reasoning abilities.”

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

A trend I've noticed over the past few weeks. Bluesky is developing its own subculture, and it is truly starting to blossom.

Compromise does not always imply complacency. I see often on online discourse. Perhaps it is because it simplifies the modeling of an issue to "bad people do this and good people do this". If you discard false dichotomies, the model becomes more complex, but this can provide more paths to success.

I don't understand how there is so much proof that X and company create bad incentives for content creators, yet people still continue to support it. Bluesky (and atproto) don't solve every problem, but they are clearly a step in the right direction!

Both ATProto and Anthropic's MCP spec are picking OAuth as their auth layer. Both have highly distributed endpoints with many participants, where pre-registration isn't feasible. I pulled together notes and links on this bmannconsulting.com/notes/atprot...

How does this happen? Why would they vote on a bill and not make absolutely sure that all Dems are present? How often does that happen? Someone please enlighten me. Who is coordinating this? Isn't their primary job to represent the will of the people by voting?

I'm finding tests exceptionally useful for dogfooding my own interfaces. If the tests are annoying to set up, then there is probably an issue in they way I have modularized my code.
