I've joined the retro homepage team. My new site is going for the HyperCard on Mac System 6 vibe.
I made a thing that visualises the live state of Britain's rivers, tides and storm overflows.
This is the best speech model I've heard by some margin, and it is seriously dangerous. If they release it like this, people are going to be falling in love with this model, and their choice of samples does not inspire confidence that they're taking the possibility of this seriously. block.xyz/dessa
Made it around the world for my third @emdashcms.com talk of the week, at @vuefes.bsky.social. Particularly excited by the fact that I should be able to actually see some talks this time!
You really need to watch this, particularly if you're a Man In Tech
I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...
Some actual data on the Yandex DC drone strikes
Thanks @jimray.bsky.team for having me on the pod to talk about @emdashcms.com, how I use AI coding agents, and why atproto is mostly an excuse to buy domains
Earlier this year @mk.gg was faced with a daunting question: could he create a new WordPress. He joins Off Protocol to describe how it was possible with AI agents and atproto. atproto.com/off-protocol...
Here's Bluesky PBC's doc on what it plans for the .bsky gTLD
Though a lot of people here may be more interested in this one
When Jev came out I was excited to try it for this, and was disappointed when it was worse than the baseline. This made it even more of a pleasant discovery when I evaluated Cloudflare's Clef model and found it blew them all out of the water: more accurate, reliable and much faster.
Open plugin registries have a hard problem: anyone can publish, but not everything should be discoverable. Here's how EmDash uses the new Cloudflare Clef model in an Atproto labeler to screen every listing without giving up open publishing

It's amazing that despite all this, all the models are *still* terrible at writing prose. After the singularity, the superintelligence will keep humans around because the large language model still can't write engaging prose. Stop worrying, #booksky authors.
Opus 5.5 is about as good at coding as Sol, so animations aside I'd kind've missed how much better it is at everything else. It's like an Opus 4.5-level jump, but for productivity.
Stop complaining about GitHub and build the next one. Do it in 2 weeks and you could win $25k.
Cloudflare is becoming a free certificate authority, and will be the first to issue post-quantum Merkle Tree Certificates
Whoa I just had a peek at the announcements that we're putting out today, and one in particular is MASSIVE. Watch this space in 20 minutes. ⚛️
