No Kuba. Not you.

The atproto community is still small, but growing!, so it's great to have companies support as without much of a track record for #AtmosphereConf

We will remember early supporters 😀

Thanks @fabricatedtechnobabble.com & @opensource.google - looking forward to meeting you in person in Vancouver!

derpy lil' doggy saying happy Thursday

Mochi says hi!

the greatest trick the devil ever pulled

that's so true, except for mochi, the devil

uh no 2056 is 30 years from now pal

If you're a node dev, you probably have used node-postgres, which is maintained by my good friend Brian. Say hi and tell him his dog Mochi is the devil

@jay.bsky.team we may have made a mistake

I quote posted Josh's intro post saying "All of my bad posts will have been written by Josh moving forward" and he replied "So: all of them"

I got a Max+ 395 128GB with 4GB NVME. Ran a couple model benches on the models, and I forget the exact details but IIRC I was getting around 20-40 tok/s on things like qwen.

I'll play those odds

I am incredibly privileged, and doing my best to use that privilege to help others. Whether I can stop that problem - at this point, no. But I have dedicated my life to pulling control of the software stack away from the megacorps, and I'll keep doing that part

I definitely would - I already bought one of the framework desktops to test it. It's not really ready for primetime and yet I'd do it again to test the readiness

gtfo really. taking a look.

RE the hosting story, yes, my biggest anxiety is that the models don't become locally runnable. I do think that would be a disaster for the world. I am pinning my hopes that it's a challenge will be solved, but it's a core risk.

The other concerns are legit but... nuanced

yep a rack lost networking

I'll take it

We finally hired somebody with the skillz

From my perspective, AI can be used for good and for bad, and I’m asking myself how it can improve personal computing. I think agents can make people more independent from big business, not less.

AI shows up in the world in some pretty negative ways, especially around misinformation, slop, and spam, and dealing with those issues in a social network are increasingly a focus of my time. I don't have a hard time understanding why a lot of people are suspicious of it as a result.

Part of why we've openly talked about our use of coding agents is to be transparent about it. It's also because it's a shocking change to our practice, and I frankly don't know how I could avoid talking about it as a software enthusiast. I genuinely can't believe what these things can do.

On a personal level, I've been a software engineer since I was 12. I joke about the quality of my code, but the reality is that I take it incredibly seriously. The source of those jokes is humility to how difficult it is to write complex software and avoid bugs, or outages.

I do want to make sure we're being clear about this:

The Bluesky team maintains the same review, red-teaming, and QA processes that we always have. AI coding tools have been proving useful, but haven't changed the fundamental practices of good engineering. Human review and direction remain key.

You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell! [my reaction to hearing slay the spire 2 is out]

excessive dry claude causes chaffing

today's app update introduced a bug that is causing some posts to not show up. we're working on a fix now.

It's so unfair that people are saying this about you. I vibecode at least as much

Welcome, Josh! FYI all of my bad posts will have been written by josh moving forward

eh bring it
