A small ask from the local-first community. I’m speaking at @localfirstconf.com in Berlin about @tiles.run, but this year the conference isn't able to cover speaker travel. I'm trying to raise $700 through Github Sponsors to cover my flight. Any amount helps. github.com/sponsors/til...

It feels like nearly every dev talking about AI is either: a maximalist – Font of hype and boosterism. Manic energy on building. Signs of AI psychosis. a skeptic – Depressed by the torrent of slop and disappearance of craft. Waiting for the industry to implode when token prices skyrocket.

This is a watershed moment. GLM-5.2 solidly beat Opus 4.8 and human participants in our backend take-home, making the whole thing obsolete. It also pushed forward the state-of-the-art for multi-stage media-to-transcript, with offmute-v2. I come with receipts: www.southbridge.ai/blog/offmut...

Tiles runs on Linux now! All thanks to @pimtron.dev's incredible work over the last few months 🫡

Folks have been reaching out about how to support Graze beyond our core product. We think that support needs to go beyond Graze. That's why we've teamed up with our direct competitors @skyfeed.app and @blueskyfeedcreator.com to jointly support all our work:

Lovely lovely project.

Woke up to email saying @jan.ntr.io and my talk for #dwebcamp has been accepted. Looking forward to Germany trip big time. Also for U&A demo spotlight tonight I’ll be running though building folknet out of whatever parts I could source. It escalated that is for sure.

The fact that an LLM wiki standard is “markdown with yaml frontmatter” - which has been human hand built without a CMS for years - is kind of amusing.

🧵 I've been wracking my brain around ATProto onboarding. Why do all ATProto apps make you create a new account before you can do anything interesting? Why don't we let people start with an email address or phone #? Then claim your identity if/when the need actually arises.

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

Big picture is how you orient, small picture is where you act. If toggle between the two effectively, the scope of your agency can grow until the two pictures start to line up.

Here’s the post. This actually refers to a class action lawsuit filed by the law firm Quinn Emanuel. As best I can see, the allegations are pretty much the same. blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/02/02/w...

I wrote a new post about the privacy risks of on-phone agents like Apple’s new Siri, and how private inference isn’t any sort of silver bullet. blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/06/09/a...

Tiles team is coming to Pune FOSS 4.0 on June 20. See y’all there. fossunited.org/c/pune/punef... @fossunited.mas.to.ap.brid.gy

I'm going to "at:// Local-First Conf".

We know picking the right OAuth scopes can be confusing, so we built a tool to help with that. Grab the proper scopes and permission sets from apps across the ecosystem with our new Scope Builder.

Video and transcript from my talk at QCon London are now online. Thanks @qconferences.com! www.infoq.com/presentation...

After 2 years, they delivered.

We figured out how to exit Tiles CLI properly and wrote a deep technical dive into standard streams, pipes, Unix processes, how system signals behave with parent processes, blocking UI I/O, and how async Rust helped fix it: www.tiles.run/blog/control...

Tiles version 0.4.11 Alpha 15 has been released. Adds a new command /reasoning that lets the user toggle the model’s reasoning effort at runtime. Fixes a crash in the REPL when it receives SIGINT (Ctrl+C), and minor refactors to the tool call code. Release notes: www.tiles.run/share/YXQ6Ly...

hey that’s me in the corner! see y’all in berlin 🌼

New ep just dropped for my podcast, A New Computer. @ruperts.world & I have a far-ranging conversation /w Mozilla CTO Raffi Krikorian about the role of open source in building the next personal computer. We also chat about our new product (Television!) and… the pope? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj9L...

My co-founder @stlhood.bsky.social was interviewed for Adaptive Software on the future of interfaces, what we think is next, and why chat isn't it. adaptivesoftware.substack.com/p/the-interf...

deadmau5 is vibecoding his own DJ workstation. I think we're about to see a renaissance in creative tools. Artists are no longer bottlenecked by programmers. They can create their own tools. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRo8...

Introducing Television, the missing GUI for personal agents. Television is a visual workspace for you and your agent, and our first step toward a new interface paradigm for agentic computers. Now accepting alpha users, open source soon.

Check out the first @tiles.run presentation, a local AI app that supports atproto as well as p2p sync with @iroh.computer

Regretfully, I no longer believe that quality emerges as a straightforward byproduct of market competition. Quality requires a kind of virtue ethics, a Nietzschean “esteem” for quality which we no longer hold.

1000% Of course they had to bet on local compute because they absolutely had not a chance at winning in cloud compute. That’s good for us though because none of us wins if cloud compute wins.

Tiles version 0.4.10 Alpha 14 has been released. www.tiles.run/download Adds support for tool calling with Pi’s Read, Write, Bash, and Edit tools, fixes a DNS resolver issue, and includes a major refactor of the inference and REPL systems. Release notes: www.tiles.run/share/YXQ6Ly...

Tiles version 0.4.9 Alpha 13 has been released. tiles.run/download Adds support for privately sharing chats over ATProto, along with routine refactoring and improved error handling.

@atstore.fyi is more than just an app directory for the Atmosphere. It's an open source community project you can contribute to, it's a vehicle for a shared directory lexicon, and the foundations for Atmosphere legibility projects. Learn more about the project in today's blog post:

Join us tonight (or tomorrow morning if you are state side) for the latest weekly U&A demo spotlight event. This week we will be spotlighting COVEN tangled.org/yzzxyz.roomy... - a simple p2p distributed research lab for serving and training community AI.

ive been promising to do a post about tranquils account delegation for a while now. finally sat down and did it!

After four years of work and more than 50 releases, I'm close to becoming a 1.0 adult. www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-1-...

Introducing marque.at, a domain registrar built on the AT Protocol, made by the creators of @margin.at Check it out: marque.at

I was mentioning to @wesleyfinck.org that we should promote @atproto.science I'll be out of town, but enjoy the event!

What do streets think about being able to read long form content / blogs from within blacksky.community (powered by standard.site) @pckt.blog @leaflet.pub @offprint.app in the below rough demo.

I've started to think about what happens if LLMs get fast enough to generate browser functionality at runtime. aifoc.us/how-might-a-... This is more of a speculative post, but we should have a discussion on the role of standards and eng in browser-land

I'm pretty certain that web mcp has the opportunity to be everything that I wanted web intents to be and it's only possible since the invention of llms aifoc.us/webmcp-is-th...

I *love* everything about this, just read those principles, it’s like, the best of the best standards development knowledge condensed beautifully: howethomas.github.io/ietf-hackath...

Combat LLM spam by building a web of trust. Vouching is live on Tangled! 🎭 blog.tangled.org/vouching/

Introducing Disperse: an experimental sharesheet that allows you to share to several Atmosphere services at once. At launch, it supports @bsky.app, @blackskyweb.xyz, @semble.so, @margin.at, @rabbithole.land, @kipclip.com, and @sill.social, with more planned. 1/

The @tangled.org folks are implementing a "vouching" system, described by @mitchellh.com github.com/mitchellh/vo... "People must be vouched for before interacting with certain parts of a project…People can also be explicitly denounced to block them from interacting with the project."
