Honestly…. I’m shocked to hear that Harvard received federal funding.
Thanks to @niko.antuerp.com for chatting with me! @skylight.social is still young; there's a lot we need to build to make it a place where creators can truly find and grow their audience 🙌🏽 But I'm incredibly thankful to have the chance to build it, and to have so many of you along for the ride 🥰
🗞️ As TikTok bans loom, creators are fighting back — not with clones, but with control. We sat down with @buildwithtori.com to talk about @skylight.social, the shortform video app built on the AT Protocol. It’s open, decentralized, and creator-first. 📲 Full story: antuerp.com/skylight-is-...

Honestly, it's pretty genius how Stripe has created markdown versions of their docs and an "Open in ChatGPT" link to make working with AI easier You can give your coding agent a "Read docs.stripe.com/connect/auth... prompt and it will can slurp up the Stripe docs and use that as context for tasks
It really is uncanny how often I run into engineers that are also musicians. There for sure is some kind of parallel between code and math www.thisdot.co/blog/music-a...

A little update video about what we’re working on currently! Thank you to everyone supporting @skylight.social and giving us great feedback! It’s been insanely helpful as we build 🙌🏽 #skylightsocial #skylight
1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
