Announcing Attie site builder! Starting today, Attie users can build small social pages like an AMA, a guestbook, or a survey your friends will argue about for a week. We made a few to get you started. Go make a better one and share it: attie.ai

atproto spaces is shaping up! we're getting pretty close to what I expect will be the beta spec. ("beta" meaning in-production on bsky PDSes with real users) however, there's still room to maneuver. if something in the alpha isn't working for you, this is a good time to bring it up!
The last atproto spaces office hours was a success! Lots of good conversations. We'll be hosting another this Thursday. Come give your thoughts and feedback on the alpha!

hey all! cooked up a stream overlay tool for @stream.place I initially coded it for my self but eventually thought why not share it? You can setup emotes for your chat, make a bot respond to commands, react on teleports, draw on your stream or make your own overlays! hf😊
Any friends in Stuttgart? I'll be hosting a social on Tuesday Oct 13th - no slides or presentation, just a casual snacks & beer and great conversations about the current state of AI, Python, Open Source, etc. RSVP here: luma.com/ortxcoun

For this reason, foreign spy agencies would be incompetent not to have people on the Caltrain in the Bay Area. If I manged a spy agency, I'd have a whole team just doing wifi hot spots and recording screens with hidden cameras all over the world.
person next to me on amtrak has a spreadsheet of API keys open from a company you'd recognize and I'm sooooo tempted

made a post in the atmosphere developer forum about timelines for rolling out spaces (aka permissioned data) and community groups to the full network. tl;dr: a couple more months of iteration and prep, then major PDS operators could coordinate to go "general availability" around mid-November

Today feels like celebrating a twenty-year wedding anniversary, five years after a catastrophic divorce ended the relationship. For me, the relationship started well before the ceremony, and the fault lines of the relationship were visible soon after the honeymoon ended. bsky.app/profile/newp...

Here's an early POC for a "personal website" run entirely on Sifa (and more atproto) data: sifa.id/p/gui.do/site (just append /site to your own profile to see it in action) You can also self-host it: github.com/singi-labs/s...

New_ Public’s @blaine.bsky.social reveals to @rabble.nz how Twitter was almost decentralized — like Bluesky or Mastodon — way back in 2008. Nearly 20 years later, Blaine is now the Head Engineer of Roundabout, our local community app, where he's helping us create a better social media.

Want to talk to the past? Here' an LLM "trained entirely from scratch on a corpus of over 28,000 Victorian-era British texts published between 1837 & 1899, drawn from a dataset made available by the British Library" Quite different from an LLM roleplaying a Victorian. huggingface.co/spaces/tvent...
