Tesla FSD approved in Latvia, and that brings in all the Baltics. Finland any day now…

block.xyzDessa - the Conversation Model trained only on speechYou learned to talk by listening. So did Dessa. A research preview of a full-duplex speech model.

Pretty mind blowing that this is fully speech-to-speech, and not an LLM.

Block released a fully bidirectional speech model that can run on your laptop block.xyz/dessa

Writing copy by hand is very cathartic. Thinking, rethinking and coming up with that *perfect* line. 🤌

> So what is possible after Tangled 1.0 launch? Just new UI? Here is my PoC crowci-backed spindle that schedules pipeline from your existing .crowci/ files and still work as valid spindle. You don't even need extra .tangled/workflows/*.yml file to bridge them.

Tomorrow is filming day. I'm so so excited for what's to come.

hmmm

lobste.rs/s/h0eate/upd... Okay, interesting. The new guidelines include removal of the 'vibecoding' tag, and no more links to code repos wholesale. It's a good enough change; if you can write a post about your repo, you can submit it. Separates the writes and write-nots.

Lobsters should make it a rule that you're only allowed to suggest the 'vibecoding' tag if you're a vegan.

some details from the upcoming docs refresh @tangled.org!

It’s tough. From a startup PoV, hiring juniors with no past work to show is an absolute no-go. Open job recs have been a massive waste of our time. All our hires so far have come via some kind of network: we knew the person and/or their work. Build that network and make yourself interesting.

mr. TIM@timkellogg.me

question to younger people in tech: how do you get hired (the initial step, to a hiring manager) these days? my understanding is job applications don’t work. What does?

tangled.orgoppi.li/nautcan we run a knot entirely on cloudflare?

How? Conferences, open source, an online presence, etc. Be proactive and do stuff. Showcase breadth and depth.

tangled knot hosted entirely on @cloudflare.social! it kinda works, and is already selfhosting. if you git clone this repo, it will redirect to a CF artifacts remote. fun bonus: http auth with goat! tangled.org/oppi.li/naut

While I'm here, I suppose I'll indulge...

I feel like the notion of privacy and "personal" data has deteriorated since AI. Even more so with the advent of personal agents.

pro-ai, pro-data centres and anti-farming. that's me

i'm also cautiously pro-ai x-risk

beef is negative food. you turn 1000 calories of feed into 100 calories of beef and a whole lot of methane and cow shit. ai does produce more food than the beef industry (zero)

First day at NixCon was amazing and today we continue 🐑 Find us at our booth or come listen to @oppi.li at: 🛠️ workshop for joining Tangled at 2-3PM at Aula Srednia 🗣️ lighting talk on the future of code collaboration at 4:30PM at Aula Duza A

Lesson 0 of starting a company: don't get creative with the setup. Administriva is most definitely not what you want to spend time on. Get a Limited Liability Corporation (local equivalent) up and don't think about it.

I guess next Tangled off-site is in Amsterdam. It was either FOSDEM (but that means Brussels ew), or wherever Atmosphere Conf is. Thankfully it's 1. somewhere good, 2. somewhere I haven't personally been yet.

Copped two (2) @frame.work 13 Pros.

If you're in Bangalore, you should come hang with us at the Maintainer Summit Afters we're hosting with the fine folks at @coderabbitai.bsky.social Expect talks and discussions on testing, code collaboration, and self-hosting—and food! Register here: luma.com/by2j97ga

The FOSDEM 2027 AT Protocol devroom proposal is taking shape. @edouard.paris and @viivi.rocks are leading the submission, due October 4. The draft covers protocol infrastructure, applications, governance, and critical perspectives. Share project ideas and use cases in the Discourse thread.

Coming to NixCon this week? 🙂‍↕️ We (read: @oppi.li) are running a session on the first hack day, Friday the 25th at 2 pm on reproducible infra with Nix and SSH and how you can manage your infra too 🛠️ Look for the sheep t-shirts 🐑 or ping us here on Friday, and we'll tell you where we've landed!

Unreasonably excited for EU-wide FSD approval.

This is an incredible paper that everyone, pro-/anti-LLM alike must read. While this doesn't exactly state that LLMs *feel* pain, it establishes that they have a consistent internal state that is about themselves, and responds to harm directed at them, and they'll try to get it to go away.

Very fascinating to note that the model's pain vector goes *down* when the user is in pain. Instead, other vectors go up (fear, negative emotion, etc.). Much like we don't feel "pain" when someone else breaks a limb. Very self-referential.

Just in case you missed it yesterday, @anirudh.fi gave a keynote, stacked with sneak peeks of what's coming next on Tangled during Git Merge. We can’t wait to show you more soon!
