Replying to @thebestsophist.bsky.social

I’ve been thinking about and working on using language models to help with regulatory analysis for over a decade, this is not a new field. All the research we’ve done says that regulations are highly technical and small domain-specific language models easily outperform general models.

quick question. friendly question. (it's not friendly) remind me exactly who decided to kickstart the cybersecurity arms race as a marketing differentiator?

Would love to actually see investment to do this. And investment that isn't just "what's our AI strategy for X" Like the primitives and fundamentals very much matter.

We cannot regulate our way out of this problem. Middle powers cannot just fix the problems of the US and China. We have to build our own tools, including mental health programs to support people hurt by these tools - Andrew Strait of Economic Democracy Fund on AI and middle powers at #attention2026

Talked with Sunil about it a bit. Mostly agent generated. Some models from asset packs he bought. It's a good blend of detail for close ups and tight shot scenes. And things that are just roughed in

Not a huge user of the @winesky.app search feature myself, but glad that @knowtheory.net and @tessa.germnetwork.com insisted it was necessary, because some users rely on it heavily.

Trooper West Coast IPA by Lagunitas Brewing Company (2026) - 3 ⭐ Good at the front, then quickly turns dry. The bitter note comes on strong and overstays its welcome. Maybe it was just the keg? Not a big fan. West Coast IPA Beer from California via @winesky.app 🍺 #beersky #california

I remember being so confused about the lackluster reviews.

I rewatched Mickey 17 recently, and I think it’s a great movie that has a lot to say about historiography, class, and colonialism but suffered from coming out at a time when a lot of prominent people decided talking about such things was cringe

I know I'm a broken record on this, but one part of what is going on is that people have literally no idea what the US immigration system actually is; effectively, that there are no pathways into the country legally for someone who wants to wait in line.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

New Marist poll of Texas finds 61% say undocumented immigrants should stay in US if meet certain requirements. Only 35% say they should leave. A majority of noncollege white men (Trump base) says stay. Supports my case (see piece/thread below) that Trump opened way for new pro-immigrant consensus

“Should I really watch Georgia, if Senate isn’t that competitive?” Well, yes! —Nearly all state offices at stake, starting with Gov & AG. —Dems could flip utility commission. —Raffensperger’s successor as SoS —Dems hope to gain in legislature —Cobb school board could flip Dem.

It’s a record for a midterm in Georgia: roughly 185,000 people voted in person today, on Day 1 of early voting. The prior record was set in 2022, with roughly 130,000 voters.

Good thread on sandboxing as a critical primitive that (outside of maybe web browsers) we could do better on.

warpfork@warpfork.bsky.social

I think QubesOS and they way they actively integrate with the window manager to make it possible to *see* the sandboxes at all times: this is the way. This is what we should lift lessons from and do more of. Windows are the, well, windows through which users route all of their interaction. Matters!

Happy for Bsky livin' the dream of having one's own TLD

A little scoop before Oct 7, when ICANN publishes 1,000+ applications for new top-level domains: one of them is .bsky! It's a long road (18 to 24 months), but if it goes through, handles like alice.bsky become possible.

Today, my professional writing class was considering the calculus a writer needs to make between renting space on a site (like social media) or own their own site. We looked at @gregpak.net’s essay on relaunching his newsletter in 2018.

I've been listening to Faithless all week because of this.

sometimes writing about bluesky discourse means you're just too deep in the echo chamber but other times bluesky discourse uncovers the unsettling reality that there are minecraft jokes coded into an official government website techcrunch.com/2026/09/29/a...

techcrunch.comAmerica.gov gets really weird when you ask it about Minecraft, but it's not a glitch | TechCrunchFor the sake of national security, it's a relief to learn that America.gov is not hallucinating to the point that it's penning lengthy poetry.
