Cults create value. Spreadsheets optimize value. In the end, when there is nothing left to optimize, spreadsheets destroy value, making way for new cults.

Musk always planned to turn X into the super app but Apple stood in the way.
When Musk got pally with Trump I hoped this would result in Apple being forced to open up more by regulators.
Musk would get his way but in the process we would end up with Apple loosening their grip on iOS.

The PDS paradigm won't move your data from the cloud to your personal computer. Most people will still rely on an institutional cloud service, but instead of data-banking with a maligned corporation most people’s data can be entrusted to the equivalent of member-owned credit unions for data storage.

Much thanks and heartfelt support to @erlend.sh for writing up the kind of article that I, too, have been dreading to have to write: that absolutist OSS is bad and we protect the commons with fair licensing, non-commercial and otherwise
Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.
I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink.
But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

Open Source Power

I have a whole folder of ATProto apps on iOS (plus a select few directly on my Home Screen).
Today we call them “ATproto” apps.
In the future … they’re just a better way to build a wide range of apps, where users own their data, login in anywhere, and choose different interfaces.

A lesson learned from over a decade making general purpose software used by hundreds of millions:
People consider extreme levels of daily pain *absolutely worth enduring* for the features they care about.
They give exactly zero fucks whether their need is "in scope" in your product plan.

How clear does it need to be that Europe needs independent digital infrastructure before we actually take credible action? The need is as clear for cloud as it is for the rest of our critical digital systems.

Work on model architectures, such as context optical compression with Deepseek AI’s OCR (3B model) and Google DeepMind’s Mobile Diffusion (500M model), presents a very attractive SLM deployment avenue.

Honestly, i am very excited reading this. Can't say i understand 100% of the architecture and protocol but at least it is not fundamentally tied to p2p like radicle or a central corp like github.

What's interesting to me is how thin these framework layers are getting. LitElement, for example, mainly just implements batched rendering. Enhance also looks simple. The framework is starting to matter less, because you can get to ergonomic app dev using mostly just platform features.

This work by @jessylin.bsky.social et al. is phenomenal.
Memory layers are definitely worth studying. Given their parameter-efficient nature and applicability to smaller models, the authors reported promising results using a setup with a 1.3B model + a 1B memory pool.
