99% immutable data, 1% clever pointers / building Dialog DB / he / him
It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.
Here is an @iroh.computer teaser, showing web browser finding a iroh node (on my machine) replicating two dialog db's that you can connect to via WebRTC transport (without relays)
People have asked if I have kofi, I'm doing okay financially but if you REALLY want to throw $ at me, please consider pre-ordering the folk-horror TTRPG I made with @sinisterbeard.bsky.social . We put a TON of work (human work!) into it and would love for it to do well www.blightshollow.com

Ok im gonna say something here that is going to draw a lot of different feelings from everyone, and I want to be clear i'm not "in support of this" or "against it". i'm just saying it as an observation that seems true to me: I think with the latest frontier LLMs, the “music” era of games is upon us
I wrote about what I've been up to with my new programming language! Zena targets WebAssembly GC, with a TypeScript-like syntax, sound type system, and lots of cool features like pattern matching, async cancellation, borrow checking, WASI integration, and more! justinfagnani.com/2026/09/09/z...
Zena: A new Wasm-first programming language
justinfagnani.com
Now that we've put Zena out there a bit, we're looking for collaborators of any sort. We especially need people to give feedback on the design choices from many different perspective: developer ergonomics, the type system, compiler architecture, etc. Anyone with any level of interest is welcome!
Maybe you are excited about GTA6 and maybe you aren't, but it will likely be a cultural monument in at least the following way: there will probably never be a cultural artifact of this size and scale made without genAI slop in it again
re: omarchy trying to create parallel infra to subvert the linux community and kick trans/female/black people out i know some people think that sounds crazy but DHH literally is doing a podcast tour saying that is exactly what he's doing lol
Looks like @1password.bsky.social is an enthusiastic sponsor of DHH, which brings them below the waterline on “trusting to manage my secrets” Recommendations for an easy to use personal secret management system? Vaultwarden comes up a lot, do people I know like it? Other recs?
Konnor Rogers@konnorrogers.com · 4w agoOh. Wow. Shocked. Jason led the charge. > Huge shout out to jmeller for leading 1Password's participation! I somehow keep ending up building foundations that are a perfect fit for Jason and his company (hello Rails Foundation)! It's incredible to have his and their support once again.
Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection
with a bit of perspective, I wanted to write this post which reintroduces spaces as a new primitive for atproto! spaces are a deeply social & "atmospheric" primitive & I kinda think they uniquely thread the needle on our design goals
Reintroducing Spaces
Now with better perspective, zooming out and re-motivating the design of spaces, the new primitive for non-public data on atproto.

Fun fact: about 6% (2000 out of 34000) of the links saved to @semble.so includes at-tags.
𝕮@chrisshank.com · last mo.As a gentle reminder, I think we should be advocating for personal websites to use at tags (and I would like to figure out a migration story for @standard.site to use these tags for verifification)

Some of you haven't watched Andor, probably because you (otherwise rightly) think that nothing interesting can happen in the Star Wars franchise. I have to say that's a mistake, though.
Stella Sacco@antlervel.vet · last mo.btw I’m finally watching Andor and fuck me running this is television. I love how it’s not really about The Rebellion but about rebellion in general. Switch out some places and doohickeys and it could be about any occupied resistance. Gilroy the GOAT
It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of LLMs.
Stargirl@thea.codes · last mo.I've started to notice that many of the most "critical"/"skeptical"/"practical" takes on AI are so steeped in pro-AI framing that they immediately give away the plot. They can't say a sideways word without first rolling out platitudes as if to calm the pro-AI before the mildest take.

Extrapolating from my Fable usage during the "First Taste is Free" period, I will be on the hook for about $6,000/mo in order to keep using it.
cdata@cdata.earth · 5mo agoThis time last year I was a $20/mo user. Today I'm a $200/mo user. I wonder what I'll be in for this time next year.

The World Cup has been a magical moment for the entire city. These are New Yorkers, and they will be New Yorkers when they get out of Rikers. They are New Yorkers today." ♥️♥️♥️
