In 1991, Patagonia added this blunt language to their own catalog: "Everything we make pollutes. Buy fewer items and buy things that last." That level of honesty is almost unthinkable today. Patagonia can speak the truth because it is coherent inside and out. It is structurally strong.

I like the fender rumble 15 but not sure if it's considered cheap at around £100

Most tragic things about AI: the folks who should push for democratization of AI tools, which is the real battle, are too focused on denying AI itself to do that. There are many potential issues (and wins), but frontier models available only to the rich is one of the worst.

We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol. atproto.com

@michaelnielsen.bsky.social Hi there! I'm thinking about an atproto-based book notes network with social features. I would be interested in your opinion! Repo here: github.com/sirodoht/alc... -- want to talk about it?

This was a worthwhile use of my morning 🔉

excited to share that we are following through on our earlier commitments and putting together an independent+neutral organization to house the DID PLC system, includes the directory service

1/ 📢 @cosmik.network has been awarded $1M in grant funding by Open Philanthropy and @asterainstitute.bsky.social These generous grants will support our development of Semble - a social "micro-knowledge" network for researchers on Bluesky/ATProto. Think Are.na + Goodreads for research!

I first wrote up the idea for this 6 years ago, but it took a huge amount of work to actually turn it into reality. Thank you to Orion for the heavy lifting, and all the other Automerge contributors for making it happen!

AI systems are able to pass "theory of mind" tests - Recent research shows post-2022 models achieve 70-93% success rates on these tests, comparable to a 7-9 year old child. This forges trust in ways we are not really prepared for.

Why am I leaving? I've been so close to the founding of this company that I now feel an overwhelming pull to see what it's like to build something new from scratch. So now it's my time to try.

I'm reading Elizabethtown (2005) deleted scenes and the ending they actually shot I prefer! Sadder, more romantic, less realistic, more ...honest! Satisfied to finally learn about Ben though! www.theuncool.com/films/elizab...
