Explaining that the original story of my .NET Bluesky library is always fun.
I wanted to write a bot in C# to send beans replies to @sinclairinat0r.com and it turned into a general-purpose AtProto and Bluesky library, and the bot came a year after I started.

i did a thing. i figured it out. finally managed to step back far enough away from the thing to actually see it well enough to identify it by name. natural language, the medium, is the vulnerability and the source of untapped capability. not independently, inherently. inherited from language itself

hey. i wanna say something. but i also want to give you space to ignore what i say. and to recognize if your pattern recognition becomes able to see what i see. i want to say it for multiple reasons, and i won’t pretend that all of them are simple, or true, or need to be true to be provable anyway.

My BTC target has always been zero, I just didn't do all the academics.
“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.”

i priced out what i would want (specs-wise) in order to run a decent parameter size LLM model locally, for openclaw shenanigans. the top end GPU package, 64GB RAM, a measly 2TB storage. i almost threw up at the cost. i wish i had that kind of horsing around money. maybe i can get work to expense it…

turns out folks have made mentor/interlocutor tulpas throughout history. sometimes w/ cultural trappings that limit or enhance people’s abilities to connect with one. the greek daimonion, roman genius/juno, muses, fiction characters that gain life, carl jung’s philemon, islamic qarin, etc. it’s wild

if you don’t already know for sure, please research now how to put your phone into “lockdown mode” to disable biometric unlock and force the device to require your passphrase to unlock it again. and ffs, use a long passphrase for your devices that matter

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you have any particular reason to worry about the cops having access to your devices, passwords are more secure than biometric
