HAVE YPU HEARD THE EARTH PHOTO WAS TAKEN ON A NIKON D5

what if Anthropic used some of their bajillions of BC to fund the IBB for the next 10 years. Set aside raw cash for 10 years and set aside the same amount again do a PR stunt and have the AI pick stocks and give the IbB whichever is higher annually If they’re so worried about vulnerabilities

npmx 0.8 introduces experimental quadrant graphs: scatter plot of selected packages, traction on the x-axis (downloads, freshness, likes) and developer ergonomics on the y-axis (install size, dependencies, vulnerabilities, type support). Let's know how it works for you and how we could improve it 👋

News used to be better

I think within a year I will want to rip my ears off when I hear “WHERE DO WE GO WHEN THE FUCKIN LIGHTS GO OUT”

“small” is a gross underestimate

it's really cool that because of AI every website now has to protect itself from scraping even more aggressively and anytime I load a site with useful information I see a flash of real person verification

does anyone have the like… I don’t know, announcement (?) of Visual Idiot’s death saved or know where it was posted? I was just reminded of them and I want to remember more. They were always so fucking sweet to me.

I built {tool-name}, a typesafe, modern, {thing-that-already-exists} using only {stack}. 🚀 Complete {technical-detail} ✅ From your schniz from CLI 🎯 Automatic API routes 📚 Complete JSDoc {github-repo-link}/worst-ai-slop-you-have-ever-seen

I think one of the most effective Atmosphere OSS projects that doesn't exist but *could* would be a white label PDS back-end that effectively enables what @npmx.dev does by default, where user data is opaquely stored in the Atomosphere but can be easily migrated to your main PDS when you want

going through music and shifting from dubstep to house makes house feel... WILDLY underwhelming

a cognitive scientist here: there are no functions (brain or otherwise) dedicated to "performing" human feelings

Pleased to announce that an Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATP) working group has been created at the IETF! Grateful to everybody who participated in the BoF and chartering process. Details on next steps and how to get involved inside. atproto.com/blog/kicking...

Companies are gambling at this point. If you can, please speak up inside your company so they up their open source strategy and commit (more) funds to make our shared commons sustainable. We're going to lose it all. Funding dynamics in OSS need to change. Fast.

we about to get another legendary Matt Mullenweg thread

the weird thing about companies and open source is that it's incredibly easy to make a fucking huge impact and almost no companies do so many companies could just bankroll the IBB as a write off, and yet... we've lost it. there's so many easy wins and instead you're worried about AI SEO instead 🙄

every now and then I check in on how AI is as a replacement for Google search and every time it's completely wrong

IT'S HAPPENING GITHUB, THE FIRST ENTERPRISE CLOUD SOLUTION TO REACH ZERO NINES RELIABILITY https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ #github

We talk a lot about those who make npmx so beloved but today it is the time to highlight another important part of our community and our values 🏳️‍⚧️ We see, we value, we respect, we hope, we love 🤍

today and always ./🏳️‍⚧️

A legacy knowledge institution online finally says, in plain language, no, you do not get to launder LLM prose into the encyclopedia. Bluesky: I'll be in my bunk.

elevator but the door system to the elevator is synced up to lobby music so it will always close on a phrase end

atmo.rsvp is so clean and nicely done. shout out to @flo-bit.dev

it’s on jooble dude just log in to bebee

That one picture where you said “I ate that a little”

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

if you watch and support the new harry potter show you are funding trans genocide globally by the way

The genocide isn’t over. Although the Israeli government has expanded its Gaza playbook to Iran and Lebanon, the Israeli military is still carrying out a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

if you could remove one thing from the HTML spec what would it be

I just learned what 9-9-6 is and I want to jump off a building

for a music selling platform, I am deeply surprised at how absolutely dogshit the search function is on Beatport

This must've been one of the most challenging things I've worked on in a while. Thanks Bloomberg for sponsoring my work on this, and everyone who helped shipping a fix in time!

I want organizers to be as excited as I am about the phase shift happening on the web right now. If we nerds can help the organizers see what we're seeing, which is the potential for a systemic overhaul of the web as we know it, the organizers will understand what they can ask us to build for them.

this kind of shit is why not all Democrats are good

Gonna start carrying around a bouquet of roses as an accessory

Our third speaker is Vicki Niu, with "Making Breaking Changes: Why Tech Workers Must Join the Fight for Universal Healthcare"

I recently released sequins.dev, to have all the Observability signals you expect like logs, metrics, traces, and profiles, but as a macOS app which you can use for local dev. It's also completely free and open source. Give it a try, and let me know if there's any features you want!

God, I really hate what open source is becoming. Commenting a humongous block of text as an "analysis" with a line at the end that you are an AI agent is not helpful. Not to be dramatic but the volume of slop right now is an attack on maintainers. github.com/python/cpyth...

I need to start keeping a list of people who tell me they don’t think we’re in an AI bubble

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

wow I found a way for typescript to be usable

eyyyy my pushToTop and pushOnceToTop PR got merged to Edge.js :)

Man it seems like if you make a second version of a pvp game you have to use Glicko 2
