I'm talking to all the journalists and analysts I know follow me, too. If you're doing a piece on Omarchy that involves him and doesn't mention the fact that he has spent the last several years being an out and proud racist, you're a coward.

Before you say positive things about DHH because of Omarchy, a reminder that it's been like 3 weeks since he published a blog that compares Roma people to the wolves Denmark eradicated in the 1800s. He's an open, virulent racist and always has been. Everything he touches should be radioactive.
It's out! As of today you can order the PRINT 2nd edition of Observability Engineering from any major bookseller; no more waiting for preorders. Co-written w/ @charity.wtf, @gmiranda23.bsky.social, @aparker.io & guest authors Buy: www.indiebound.org/book/9781098... or www.amazon.com/Observabilit...
UI is so hard!!!! But I think it's getting there. #GodotEngine #PixelArt #IndieGameDev
Wrote a userscript that adds "AI" labels to users detected by agentscan.tools (by @matteogabriele.npmx.social)! Much needed hints to judge "contributions" these days. 👉 github.com/bluwy/github...
We're revealing our first ever long read insight report, dedicated to the troubling rise of LGBTQ+ censorship across the video game world. Read the summary of the paper in this week's VGIM and download your copy immediately after. videogamesindustrymemo.substack.com/p/how-lgbtq-...
But for real, it may be the first case of non-human non-animal linguistic phenomenon (spontaneous emergence of a dialect between communicating agents) outside of a dedicated lab experiment on constrained communication.
Ethan Mollick@emollick.bsky.social · 3mo agoOne thing I mentioned in passing in my Fable post is that, for long running tasks, Fable starts to develop its own dialect as its many agents and tasks reinforce themselves and make Claudish language ever more Claudish. You need to ask it to report out in plain English or this happens after 9 hours
Blown away by @andremichelle.bsky.social's openDAW, which runs ENTIRELY in the browser! 🤯 opendaw.org So much thought and attention to detail went into this. And it's all Open Source too! github.com/andremichell... The web is AMAZING 🤩 #BTConf
Between Fable and this, it's like we're on a sled going downhill in a fog, and it may still be fine, there may be a nice peaceful valley below, or maybe an abiss, or a tree trunk. There's no way to tell haha, no way to brake, and let's be honest, really not much opportunity to steer. Fun times!

just described religion to an irl friend as a social technology solution to a coordination problem and feel like i want to throw up rn
Missing the era when one could buy a programrather than subscribe to it.
A year of work later and we can finally tie a bow on this series of web component perf threads. I built a fully declarative, compile-time reactive framework on web components. In the latest JS Framework Benchmark, Roqa is the 2nd fastest (unflagged) – beating Ripple, Vue Vapor, Solid & Svelte. 🏎️💨
Hawk Ticehurst@hawkticehurst.com · 2y agoThe idea of web component “overhead” is overblown — to even my own surprise! Rendering 1000s of nested WCs is *more* than competitive with the heavyweight champs of the web framework world. We’re talking S/S+ tier perf depending on the initialization method. Cont…

Working on the stylization art direction for the ceramic designs on the base of the computer 🌺 V1 was more true to reference (ref linked in reply), but felt too spindly and thin. V2 is feeling more more chonky in a way that is very pleasing to me! Next up is working on how it fills out the space.
i thought this was a very good summary of last N months

Video Friday: AI Gives Robot Hands Human-Like Dexterity
Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We also post a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few months. Please send us your events for inclusion. ICRA 2026 : 1–5 June 2026, VIENNA RSS 2026 : 13–17 July 2026, SYDNEY Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems : 29 July–4 August 2026, PRAGUE Actuate 2026 : 18–19 August 2026, SAN FRANCISCO Enjoy today’s videos! Introducing GENE-26.5—the first AI brain to give robots human-level physical manipulation capabilities. Cooking a full meal. Cracking an egg one-handed. Conducting lab experiments. Wire harnessing. Even playing the piano. Tasks that were impossible for robots. Until now. [ Genesis AI ] via [ TechCrunch ] This is Labububot—one of the rarest monsters on Earth. Twelve Labubu heads are reconstituted into a single spherical form: a Frankenstein’s Monster of pop culture iconography. Labububot is a playful critique of social robots , and a question made physical—what do the monsters we make reveal about the monsters we are? [ MIT Media Lab ] Watch Spot crouch, jump, climb boxes, and leap across gaps, controlled by a neural network trained with reinforcement learning (RL) and multi-expert distillation. [ Robotics and AI Institute ] Good, now there is a robot that can take over exercise for me. [ Kepler ] Additive manufacturing has become an enabling technology, but existing techniques are not capable of directly 3D printing high current electromagnetic actuators due to material and design limitations. In this work, a novel 3D-printable, multi-layer, wave-winding topology is created for high efficiency electric motors. [ Sensing Technologies Laboratory ] NASA is pushing the limits of flight on Mars —by spinning helicopter rotor blades so fast, they’re breaking the sound barrier. During recent tests at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, engineers accelerated the tips of next-generation rotor blades beyond Mach 1 inside a special chamber that simulates the atmospheric conditions of the Red Planet. [ NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory ] Balancing commercial goals and robotics research can be tricky, but with Atlas we’re making it work. [ Boston Dynamics ] Open Duck Mini is an open-source version of Disney’s BDX droids, and you can play with it in your browser. [ Open Duck Mini Viewer ] Thanks, Masato! Automated inspection of steel structures using magnetic climbing robots can reduce costs and improve safety, but many such structures feature interior corners that are challenging for wheeled or tracked robots to traverse. We present the first magnetic-wheeled robot to use X-ray fluorescence for steel structure inspection, Sally, capable of overcoming all interior corner transition types, traversing small obstacles, and maneuvering in tight spaces. [ Robomechanics Lab ] I don’t know what this is, but it’s coming soon from SwitchBot. [ SwitchBot ] You probably know the answers to these questions already, but this ELI5 from Aaron Ames is still fun. [ Wired ] Jim Fan, who leads the embodied autonomous research group at Nvidia, returns to AI Ascent to argue that robotics is entering its end game—and that the playbook is already written. [ Sequoia ]

Yeah and the claimed throughput with MLP is really impressive. Google is the low growth high confidence safe bet for the ai race imo, the fact they’re also producing open weights is under appreciated
I also love browsing fontsinuse.com - it tends to feature more graphic design than web/UI, but there’s still lots of inspiration

Hi, bluesky 🦋 - do you know of any good resources on how to pick the body/ main content font? If you don't know yourself, reposts appreciated. Thank you! 🙏

though one difference from fantasy football is that if you can port Bun to Rust in 3 days for $5k worth of tokens, that upends some fundamental assumptions in my profession
