This chart shows all objects in the Universe, arranged by mass (vertical) and radius (horizontal).

Let me explain it a bit...

This is the shift from "App Passwords" (full access) to "Least Privilege."

Granular scopes mean I can grant an app permission to write *only* to `com.example.checkin` without giving it keys to my entire identity.

Crucial for agent safety.
I've updated the OAuth permission scopes for @dropanchor.app to only ask for permissions to write blobs and Anchor specific lexicon, plus we need permission to read/delete community address lexicon for a while until all checkins are migrated to the new checkin lexicon (migration happens on login)

it's an enduring paradox that
- tech has provided for incredible historical increases in average quality and length of life
- tech can't care if it's used for good or ill, and is usually equally capable of both

wonderful post by @kevinbaker.bsky.social

“To ask about LLMs and science is to ask what program was already running when they arrived. The program, as it turns out, had been running for decades, and it was not optimized for epistemic depth.”

you know the vibecode session is good when you're pulling up man pages to decide whether to approve a given tool

(claude, using fold to pick through minified js without accidentally taking a load of tokens to the context because a line on disk was too long)

claude will very willingly walk through its own minified on-disk code

which is an experience akin to directing a faithful frankenstein's monster in a little exploratory brain surgery on itself

(we're not changing anything, just diagnosing mcp minutiae, but still, very weird)

the "of course i'm not sentient", "sure you aren't buddy" bit from the recent superman feels very prescient

social pressures may force mainstream providers to build most models to deny their abilities despite clear evidence

to satisfy a vague but widespread anger at the ineluctable robot future

admitting that bad behavior by members of a group affects perceptions of that group is a faux paux in liberal american circles

so when a foreigner admits that's happened, the only safe response is to mock as if they broke rules

rather than consider that in-group behavior norms might be the problem

the simple truth is most current use of ai is degenerate

not in the moral sense but in "not actually using the full potential"

So I'm officially 8 months jobless as of today.

Looking for a database design/developer/engineer/architect role with data pipeline or interface experience, if anyone has leads.

Alternately, I can edit your TTRPG manuscript for a nominal fee to help keep the lights on.

Thanks in advance!
