@tynanpurdy.com told me that "imgur on ATProto" would be really simple to build. So, here's my "hello world" of ATProto projects: a free image upload service called @pixl.pics. Try it out at pixl.pics. It's simple: view all of your images, and upload more.

I am really enjoying @tangled.org's CI setup. Nix pkgs, simple dependencies setup, and SSH progress is all very well done. I'm using Wrangler to deploy to @cloudflare.social, hoping that eventually there is a way to do OIDC with Tangled instead of long-lived tokens.

Anybody taking the dive to install iOS 27 yet? How’s stability? I’m thinking it must be better than 26…
I blew my entire signing bonus for my first job on this thing It was the worst financial decision of my life and I have no regrets
I believe I ran the first Bluesky-first congressional campaign in the country. Some folks thought I was nuts. But it was absolutely the best move. Bluesky has better fundraising metrics and engagement for candidates, and the site isn’t overrun with Nazis. Take note. youtu.be/XOfkMBMpw3s?...

Paul@pawlbologna.bsky.social · 2mo agoI've worked in Democratic digital comms for a long time and pay attention to campaign metrics across platforms. Increasingly I'm seeing Dems who crosspost on X, Bluesky, and Threads get better engagement on Bluesky even with far fewer followers. Here's @jamestalarico.bsky.social's clip last night:

OpenAI's claim that this is a central conjecture in discrete geometry is not an exaggeration. This will I think be looked back on as the first time that AI solved a major mathematics problem (defined as a problem that all experts in some subfield had thought about). openai.com/index/model-...

Wait until you’re questioning consciousness, you’ll finally understand why I had an existential crisis my entire first year studying cognitive science
dan@danabra.mov · 3mo agounpopular take with both crowds so far we’ve only ever seen thinking ability *together* with consciousness (first person experience), which is why we’re instinctively coupling them imo thinking doesn’t require that. i’d say llms “think” and “generate ideas” — but have no first person experience
