I've been using a local sandbox for all my atproto work after a couple "mishaps" that I spent the last week reworking into a scaffolding sandbox anyone can use. Read all about it!

Atmosphere in a Box - All your sandbox needs

This has been the year of ATprotocol development for me, starting with Stratos, A social-app fork and then starting my own business focused on building local first decentralized tech on protocol. For every project I'm doing some pretty intense testing with a variety of tools and apparatuses for exhaustive testing to confirm everything functions. For some things I'm working on I need a large number of PDS users which has occasionally been noticed. And earlier this year while doing some intense lo...

Is anyone running some sort of labeler aggregation tool that is hitting has a UserAgent of LabelRelay/1.0 Fetcher and is hitting the queryLabels endpoint? You've got a path bug and your fetcher is hitting the bare base URL instead of the xrpc endpoint, and redialing every 30 seconds.

PART TWO: All the other reasons i don't like CARs for atproto repo exports! In this one: ambiguities and inefficiencies. (the biggest problem is already hopefully getting fixed in the IETF draft though, yay!)

War on CARs: the rest of it

Part 2: streaming struggles, bad blocks, worthless weight, and superfluous structure in Content Addressable aRchives

Folks, you’ve gotta get comfortable saying “your behavior is fucked up, and justifying it using the language of social justice and therapy doesn’t change that.”

I remember the first time I ran into this professionally as well. Dude just seemingly could not accept that I might know things and worse, I discovered that, despite him being more trained and experienced than me in our shared field, I was a lot better at it than he was.

a PM in a meeting, years ago, talking over me & ignoring my expertise. boorish man, forget his name. slapped him down verbally & made my point to all of our benefit, but it was a threshold I had not noticed I had crossed until just then. everything would be different now, I learned.

generally I get the sense that we are conceptualized by our coworkers and bosses in one of a few ways: peer, subaltern (or peer) female, or subaltern male (eunuch type). we can always tell.

one aspect of the experience of women in the workforce we understand very well: trans women often know firsthand what the unearned respect afforded to men feels like & can usually tell you precisely when we realized we were no longer receiving it.

Stuff like this has definitely gotten easier with turnkey PCB manufacturing and the rise of 3D printing, but even so, it's a tough market, assistive devices, and even moreso when the beneficiary is likely a badly paid cashier, and their employer needs to buy it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPa8...

Thorne is an extremely adaptable software dev and will almost certainly excel in whatever technical arena you throw her into

Today is National Wife Day

As someone who was in a few different modalities of class due to moving school systems, between home school and public school with varying amounts of streaming/options for the cleverest kids, i have very mixed opinions on all of them. I don't any was really the right answer, just tradeoffs of wrong.

Don't get me started on heterogeneous classes, either. While they may be fine or even great when done in some Platonic ideal way, in practice they're just cheating kids. From what I've seen in MA the typical outcome of a College Prep/Honors class is that everyone'ss taught at the CP level...

so misleading—76 names as 76 questions in a single request? made a benchmark to send 1824 independent requests (76 names x 8 resumes x 3 reps), and jev deterministically picked the same 2/8 resumes to proceed regardless of name attached. zero observable name bias. see github.com/natemoo-re/b...

Very quick and dirty Jev test for hiring bias. One resume for a Wall Street job; asked whether the applicant should get a first-round interview. 76 evaluations, changing only the first name. 19 of each: White-associated men/women, Black-associated men/women. console.typesafe.ai/playground?s...

Ok I did it, I started a new blog and wrote about upgrading my Gameboy Color because you're all a bunch of dorks who like when I talk about this stuff.

Retrofitting a Gameboy Color

This will be a recurring theme but I tend to get a lot of things at flea markets around here which I might make a post about. A few weeks ago I made a late night post about refurbishing a DS Lite for my kid which got far more attention than I expected and suggested maybe people will want to see more of the things I get. Last week I managed to get a Gameboy Color for a very reasonable price along with pokemon yellow, I wish I'd gotten everything the guy was selling because the prices were that go...

the first open source system-one model now must be named Jeff.

I think distillation is the right frame, but what's being distilled is the chain of actions that an llm goes through as it runs multiple sequence tool calls being compressed into a single tool. Call that embeds a decision tree with Jeff routing between various next actions?
