Terence Tao is typically described as one of the world’s greatest living mathematicians. He is on the front lines of a debate about artificial intelligence and the future of his field.

Are boards game on the iPad something you’all would use? In places with no internet? (Camping, national parks) We travel light so I’m putting a new twist on an old board game where the iPad would be the board, each iPhone would be the player’s hand. Works in airplane mode. Thoughts? #gamedev

18.71 billion documents. 25.25 trillion tokens. 152 data sources, deduplicated, decontaminated, and sorted into 200 buckets before a single training run. A new blog from Will Held @williamheld.com on Datakit, the Marin team's pretraining data pipeline: openathena.ai/blog/marin-d...

"I can run it myself, no need for you" -- Claude, sept 11, 2026. Ouch.

I think I found the new lock sound for my car. Lol. The loon has been fun to see when people recognize the sound.

We updated how to start out euchre game. It’s gone back and forth between too little info about choices to too much. Here’s the latest rework of it. Thoughts? The newest is in the left. #screenshotssaturday detroit.games/euchre

What started with my partner complaining that Otter is blocked at work (can’t send confidential interviews to the cloud) triggered the “I can fix this, I’ve always wanted to build a Mac app” journey. I’ve learned a LOT building this tool, it’s been fun! kayit.press

with a bit of perspective, I wanted to write this post which reintroduces spaces as a new primitive for atproto! spaces are a deeply social & "atmospheric" primitive & I kinda think they uniquely thread the needle on our design goals

This looks cool. I used something similar in the past that used Facebook for comments on a private HOA website. Sheesh, that was had to moderate, and to use. Neighbors can be so toxic with each other :-( This looks much simpler!

The examples in this article are great! It makes sense after reading. Compression and LLMS. Very cool.

The article points out a cool use of <link>. Different RSS feeds for different parts of your website. Hmm, interesting :-)

We added a quick start button for playing with all house rules on. Ace no Face Farmers Hand Stick the Dealer This is my favorite way to play! Check it out! detroit.games/euchre #screenshotsaturday late. lol.

Now published @commsaicomp.nature.com with @neural-reckoning.org We: 🤖 Define a taxonomy of neural network architectures (here 128 unique structures) 🦾 Train > 25,000 models on different navigation tasks #RL 🧠 Link each architecture's behaviour to its memory dynamics doi.org/10.1038/s444...

This was presented in an easy to understand fashion. That said, we need to move fast to defend against these types of attacks.

Yet another game engine — why? jimjonah.dev/blog/yet-ano... I've learned a lot building this game engine, as well as learning how to got my blog into AT Protocol so shared links render as enhanced cards. It feels good!

We kicked off Zero to Agent in 30 Minutes this week with guest John Berryman. He set the stage by defining an agent as a large language model wrapped in two loops. An outer loop passes messages back and forth to the user. What turns an AI tool into an agent is the inner loop: bit.ly/3Rk10CY

I was sunning by the pool when the boxes arrived. And here in my hand is my life’s work: “The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War On Democracy.” Coming 8/18. Pre-orders make a huge difference! Make a fascist sweat—pre-order today! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Taken together, these changes suggest a possible erosion of what seemed to make local news exceptional: its relative immunity to the forces that fractured trust in the national news media. www.niemanlab.org/2026/07/a-qu...

NEW Web Dev Challenge premieres in 15 minutes! @cassiecodes.bsky.social joins as the advisor to challenge @shaw.city, @davidkpiano.bsky.social, @iljavaneck.bsky.social, Dennis Snellenberg, and @strange.website to build the greatest animated landing page using @gsap-greensock.bsky.social

An oldie but still highly relevant article about economic compliments and how it applies to software/hardware pricing and market power. www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/s... Given the state of companies mentioned shows he’s correct. MCP, OpenCode, and open AI models can help prevent a monopoly

This is an interesting point of view for how AI will affect the org chart of companies in the very near future. ajeygore.in/content/the-...

I have a $30 stationary bike that I got at Goodwill and I have an old Android tablet stuck to it, but I don't have a Peloton membership. Nor do I have the interest to ride 80 miles to the beach. So I made PedalScape.com It's a local PWA, no backend at all, no tracking, just 4k bike rides.

If you’ve ever wondered how Style Dictionary could really be useful this article, and series, does a great job. If you have more than one target for your project, say a website and a mobile app, that needs to be consistent with each other for colors, for example, this is for you.

Spring Boot 4.1 has been released yesterday 🚀 and Spring Boot 3.5 has received its final patch. From this month, it's officially out of OSS support. I've implemented OpenRewrite recipes to automate most of the migration process. All free and open source. docs.arconia.io/arconia-migr...

Hilarious!!!

Back-to-books. "We're rolling the screens back because we believe that books and more traditional ways of learning are better for kids," Forsell said. I hope this spreads, the USA needs to adopt this and make learning cool again.

An experiment: https://thinkstack.com is an attempt to curate 0-3 conference talks every day that are worth watching from tracking over 700 YouTube channels. Not every day is a winner right now but there's definitely progress. Feedback welcome!

I have a collection of bookmarks for all kinds of websites & web apps that do different things (mostly utility), but I use only a few of them frequently The SVG repo website is one of the most useful websites I know www.svgrepo.com/collections/ almost every time I need an #SVG logo I find it here

Google is destroying search. You won’t be able to tell the difference between paid words and legit content. No links back to the original source. Wow.

@gameengines.bsky.social I would like Custom/In-house Engine please!

I think I finally have a good way to represent signing in with the family of atmosphere handles for my card game site. Thoughts on this?

An excellent article that is an eye opener if you ever looked at the code of an svg and wondered how it actually works. I had that, oh wow this is actually pretty cool moment.

These look interesting. They’re queued up to try tomorrow.

I found this interesting article about building a modern front end testing pipeline. It points out some holes we have both at work, and for personal projects at home, as things that I need to clean up. alexop.dev/posts/modern...

excited to share lichen.page, a cms for static site generators, built on atproto there are also a number of other strange things about it. I would describe it as a sort of software as research, but you can also use it, and curious what people make of it

For those adding “login with “ to your site how are you handling the various atprotocol flavors in how you present this to the user? Are you just using login with Bluesky? A button for each of the flavors? I now that under the hood it’ll work for all.

Tailor Bird sews leaves together with plant fibre to form its nest!

Just so you know what kind of dork I am: I was looking at the Artemis II mission stuff and said to @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social, “The cutaway in those letters in the bottom left corner definitely means something super specific…”

Excellent article. Great data visualizations. It’s sad that this article needed to be written. :-(

Yeah, definitely not a tech bro: amiatechbro.com It would've been 0% but I agreed that tech folks can be better at solving problems than governments, because our governments often suck so bad

NEW: Cherise Doyley never expected to see a judge while in labor. Yet she found herself fighting a court for the right to make medical decisions about her own body — from her hospital bed. Here’s how her case unfolded.

World Cup tickets are expensive, and buying them has been frustrating and confusing. But this is what economics is for: figuring out the best ways to allocate scarce resources. FIFA, steal these ideas. n.pr/47AuktC

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.
