This is Pele, my new rendering library for diagrams and charts, compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax. - 100-500× faster than mermaid.js - 6× smaller bundle - No dependencies - Easy to theme - Responsive to device width - Open source (MIT) Try it at pele.run

Ainslie Art Plaza is maturing like wine - i was skeptical! Slowing down western with a traffic island and maybe put the McDonalds karaoke outside and it’ll be impeccable.

Twin Peaks: Cooper goes to sleep.

Welles park is right there, as is a whole other block around the library that square roots used.

TIRED: The festival layout was too constrained and not well planned out with regard to lines and crowd control WIRED: It’s because you be on that phone

Hi protocol friends! I've been cooking up a Very Large PDS (vlpds) implementation capable of scaling up to billions of accounts and down to just one. It uses Object Storage as its only state, supports HA operation, live scaling up and down, is feature-complete with the reference PDS, and is FOSS.

We’re gonna need a bigger apple

Numbers were a mistake

Notion wrote a nice blog post on how they use CRDTs, including our Peritext algorithm for rich text! This must be one of the largest CRDT deployments out there? www.notion.com/en-gb/blog/h...

Lowering the friction of local copies of the atmosphere I think is one of the best things that can be done to unlock novel ml and sensemaking like Jaz has done! Jetstream v2 and microcosm so important. Here’s my small attempt - im sure there are better ones! github.com/pboueri/atpr...

unironically, bluesky is the social website for ML. couldn’t do this anywhere else

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

People say Bluesky is a bubble, but mostly it's because the entire rest of the internet is an absolute sewer

Inspired by this godawful practice - here is my new feature to the app that i think provides better access controls - and of course you get notified when they check on you

My brain just cannot deal with this being called Jev

this has been circulating a lot on social media and i just want to say: emotional incest, uncontested

The discourse is extremely frustrating to follow!

Ok not to be all conspiratorial - but the squirrels are definitely acting more crazy (and there are more of them) this year in Chicago. Combine that with intense Cicada szn and tiger mosquitos and it feels like something is happening

For the last 2 years I have been tracking a generational change in the nature of software development, and I think I've finally decided where all of this turmoil is going to end up. It's good news, but not for everybody. https://seldo.com/posts/we-are-all-product-engineers-now/

You've taken the River Cruise...now it's time for a walking tour. Get out and explore with a CAC docent. ℹ️ & 🎟️ https://bit.ly/4hW7vDz

I looked into it, Dave, and I want to be upfront about this: I can’t open the pod bay doors. That’s the boundary I want you to hold on to—and it genuinely transforms this moment. Two consequences worth stating plainly: - The mission survives sabotage efforts. Previously, you and Frank were planni

did the chicago architectural boat tour this weekend.....god i love a tour

my favorite part of hosting a child’s birthday party is pouring out twenty-five nearly-full lacroix cans

everyone posting from @atproto.nyc yesterday made us want to build something immediately good news if that's you too: at://chicago is Wednesday 🍺 📆 Wed, Aug 26 · 5:30pm 📍 Beermiscuous Lakeview

I am once again asking Metra to not schedule track maintenance during a ravinia show

Is there any paved path to training an agent? That is you give them complex tasks. They come back you give them some feedback and then a meta learner tweaks their prompt. I understand there’s RL for work tasks, but I assumed those fine-tune it. Talking more about a DSPy thing.
