Tiles runs local AI. That means the Python runtime must be deterministic and portable across machines. With Alpha 4, we now bundle layered venvstacks with pinned dependencies to guarantee reproducible execution. How it works: www.tiles.run/blog/move-al...

I think AGI is an AI deployment question (decentralized vs centralized) instead of a purely algorithmic one.

Added support for making claims of a @tangled.org account, thanks to a PR by @jauntywk.bsky.social keytrace.dev/@orta.io

All peer-to-peer systems have to compromise one way or another on this: they can decide that direct P2P is essential and simply fail, they can provide centralized fallback alternatives, or they can try to find/convince/incentivize another peer to route traffic on your behalf.

feels like the first chapter of accelerando

was it loaded via http+dns+ssl? then it's server-first. (which is not bad. but it's not the local-first i want.)

this is pretty good

Coding agents crossed a line this year: they’re useful enough that people are going to use them at work, whether the tooling is ready or not. So... here's some tooling! tailscale.com/blog/apertur...

Great write up by @natemoo.re - on rebuilding the “missing middle” of open source. “…investing in art, diversity, and creativity. It means addressing the internet’s original sin by building protocol-first commerce” “…taking a cue from the atproto ecosystem and building protocols before products.”

We're getting ready to launch - making sure we've got testing, observability and backups all in good order. It's taking a smidgen longer than we hoped but first invites will arrive on the first week of February and roll out throughout the month. Thank you for your patience 🙏

As part of preparing for #ATmosphereConf in Vancouver March 2026, we're republishing the videos from Seattle March 2025, along with transcripts. Here's @raz.lol with a talk on Extending ATproto for private data.

Can an algorithm learn your life priorities when sorting email? In the first phase of my “personal information firehose” reseach, I trained an embedding-based classifier: adamwiggins.com/posts/triag...

Back into the ROMing scene. Dreaming of a Tiles ROM, probably by next year once the app gets going.

Last day, let’s go. #userandagents #folknet

I think I've started to figure out that gentle slope the malleable software essay from @inkandswitch.com talked about (where the user gradually becomes an editor or creator). www.inkandswitch.com/essay/mallea... I'm comparing Diffuse (a set of components and tools) to food, copy need work tho 😅

ahghgh today's demo session was pretty incredible. a bunch of folks completely twisting inside out the data surfaces and depths of what we do all day every day with the web, browsers, OSes, XR, mobile.

“Red Sky invites you into a decentralized galaxy powered by Bluesky’s AT Protocol. Here, every verified user can own a procedurally generated planet, forming a vast, immersive social universe. Explore star systems, build bases, and communicate via broadcasting messages.”

“I see this as a continuation of what I tried to do all my life: democratizing code, systems, knowledge. LLMs are going to help us to write better software, faster, and will allow small teams to have a chance to compete with bigger companies. The same thing open source software did in the 90s.”

It’s all gonna feel like Information Superhighway soon.

Man I love the “we can just do things” energy of U&A community.

First video conference using Peek because I set it as the OS default browser great way to force-test software and make your day harder

Pleased to announce that I'm launching Magicall, end-to-end encrypted videoconferencing in the browser. Try it out: magicall.online

sick sick sick repo, jax-rs, with webgpu powered model running. github.com/ekzhang/jax-js

Hello atmosphere ! Over the last few weeks, a bunch of us have been collaborating on a new set of lexicons for publishing, indexing, and building out social features across long-form reading and writing apps ! 🧵1/7

anyways, i definitely believe that the actual future of LLMs is at least partially local - both in terms of data safety (personally i don't like leaking every single prompt i type to who knows where) and in terms of control - some people will definitely want to have assurance that this will last

PSA b/c i keep meeting people who don't know about it: Consent-o-Matic auto-clicks your GDPR preferences so you don't have to do it manually. It even works most of the time! github.com/cavi-au/Cons...

This is kind of the layer 7 for the new layer 3 that I’ve been trying to work toward. I like it!

fun romp through the Chromium graphics stack from an @electronjs.org dev www.electronjs.org/blog/tech-ta...

Waiting for one more box of parts (out for delivery) and I can finish the hardware part of this #folknet epyc cluster build inspired by cloudflare and oxide.computer Has been quite the logistics puzzle sourcing all the parts, sorting redundent connectivity, and figuring out remote management

Had a blast recording this podcast on Resonant Computing: www.riskgaming.com/p/can-softwa...

Do you like browsers? Or maybe you hate browsers? But either way you think they should have more decentralisation-friendly primitives? Tell us what you'd like!

We need a human right to opt out of ads. Every company above size x has to publish average per user ad revenue and give an option to opt out for that price not more. Its connected to the right of algorithmic control over our feeds wich is harder to do but would subsume this right.

Turns out I’ve been building nodes that are basically Gen X cloudflare edge servers, but with added GPUs. blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-...

Messing around building out homebrew network. Setup 3 regional edge epyc servers (sg, de, and us) today with tailscale private network and cloudflare tunnels for exposing services to internet. Leaning heavily on Claude code skills for setup.

subbed to @mullvad.bsky.social today as a @tailscale.com add on, loving it!

So much good stuff happening at @inkandswitch.com these days! www.inkandswitch.com/newsletter/...

It’s Thanksgiving in the US, so we decided to ask our readers what tech you are most thankful for. We loved seeing your responses. As for us, we’re thankful to you for being Rest of World readers! Support us: https://restofworld.org/donate/eoy-2025/
