So, big announcement from me (and I'm serious enough about it to actually be saying it publicly) I am writing a book about urban rail.

Yeah! Because of its strange design, the entire hinge side is a piece of textured rubber. It's really nice to hold and the keyboard is even nice to type on (if you don't go too fast).

Here's an activitypub client to server interaction that's under specified.

I want to sort the people I follow into good friends and best friends. Okay, there's Add Remove vocab for that. I Add Alice to best friends with my client, and then later my client can fetch that collection, and get... Alice. Where are Alice's posts? How does the client get my best friends' posts?

And collections are untyped. I might have another collection, read later, which is for posts. What would it mean to add Alice here? When I click add to collection, how does the client know whether to show me collections of people or collection of posts?

This is a basic feature in every monolithic client/server.

Spending less and less time on the web lately. Anubis randomly sometimes doesn't work for me for some reason (web workers script or something screwing up?) leaving me blocked on various sites for unknown amounts of time. Oh well.

Back in my day is was Habbo Hotel but that was nothing compared to Roblox

Making such stuff possible in games meant for kids is just insane if you ask me

"Open source AI models are more likely to recommend men than women for jobs, particularly the high-paying ones, a new study has found"

"We find that most models reproduce stereotypical gender associations and systematically recommend equally qualified women for lower-wage roles...These biases stem from entrenched gender patterns in the training data as well as from an agreeableness bias induced during the reinforcement learning from human feedback stage"

So Eric here is now running a forked version of https://bsky.app at https://deer.social, which loads data from a self-hosted full-network #Bluesky AppView, streaming from a self-hosted relay. Basically, "bluesky independent* from bluesky"

My favorite local model right now is a bit of surprise to me: I'm really enjoying the relatively tiny Qwen3-8B, running the 4bit quantized version on my Mac using MLX

It's surprisingly capable given it's a 4.3GB download and uses just 4-5GB of RAM while it's running

If your children are on #Roblox, a little piece of advice: inform yourself over the game and maaybe keep an eye out

This channels makes a lot of content about #Discord but also how Roblox is used for some pretty bad stuff

pretty cool: deer.social configured to point to a self-hosted bsky appview which reads from a self-hosted relay which subscribes to a self-hosted PDS which is where this "hello world" post originated it's bluesky independent from bluesky

Hello world! We are doing an adventure in our home town today: creating an arts trail of our own in #Ngāmotu/ New Plymouth, Aotearoa/ New Zealand.

Follow along for some cool #publicArt, or mute me now 🙉

Alt text will be minimal at first, but i will go back and expand descriptions when we get home.

For humans: A relay is the control tower of AT Protocol—tracking every takeoff (post, follow, like, etc.) from thousands of runways (PDSs -- these store your account data), recording flight data, and broadcasting it to anyone tuned in. Without it, custom feeds would fly blind.

i don't know why people get confused about [confusing topic] so often. it's literally just [straightfoward rule], unless [extremely common condition], in which case you just [counterintuitive transformation] or [inexplicably different pattern] depending on [obscure property]. it's like [overused analogy] except [exception that makes the analogy useless].

I can't resist mentioning (again) one of my favourite bugs:

The Atari 2600 game Haunted House has an incorrect instruction which showed up in the emulator I wrote and yet the game works fine on most real consoles.

It turns out that if you accidentally use SBC 15 on a real console (subtract data in address 15) when you intended SBC #15 (subtract 15), and address 15 doesn't connect to anywhere so is just free floating, then the number 15 that was part of the instruction lingers like a decaying ghost in the capacitance of the data bus and gets read back as the missing data - if you're lucky to own a console with enough capacitance.
