The last couple of months have been filled with conversations that have me more excited about the future of the internet than I've been in 20 years.

"This blog is about celebrating that friendship" with open source developers. That was our first post in Feb 2008. Today, all 1,557 posts (2008–2026) live in the Atmosphere as verified @standard.site records: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2008/02/welcome-to-google-open-source-blog.html

If someone figures out a way for me to be able to drive to the data center and physically take home one of the GPUs in the event of default, there is definitely a number at which buying distressed GPU backed bonds starts to look attractive

If you want a good example of the type of discussion happening on X, but not on Bluesky: Discussion of SMU adding lacrosse rumors have been very much lacking. Relying way too much on @chrisrosie22.bsky.social here

India pale ale implies the existence of an India dark ale or at least an India regular ale

What a win for the Badgers. I had complete faith and never said anything negative during that game about Luke Fickell and Colton Joseph

The bringing iced coffee to a job interview discourse is just coaches not recruiting players who wear tights under their shorts at cold weather recruiting events for the masses

Wouldn’t it just save everyone a bunch of money, time and effort to at least try to set up business agent to agent text communications rather than having them use actual telephones? Like what are we doing here?

Were we supposed to wait until middle age to do this?

Fortunately, my brain is irreversibly hardwired to think about this guy anytime anyone mentions Sankey diagrams

What do you think is the largest policy concession Congressional Democrats could get from Trump in exchange for agreeing to rename the Kennedy Center after him?

@shupp.dev before I forget, this is the link I told you I would send you aicoding.leaflet.pub

One way to be able to discuss AI without catching the attention of all the anti-AI people is to avoid doing any good posts that get any attention from anyone

Sometimes if I get sent a spreadsheet and need to actually do anything more advanced than sort the data, I have to load in into a pandas dataframe because I forgot how to do any useful spreadsheet things

I really don’t like how “no evidence” has started to be used to mean “no proof” rather than no evidence. The Kawhi situation is pretty clearly one with plenty of evidence even if the NBA can’t find rock solid proof

Such a cool feeling to check the For You feed and see right at the top the first use in the wild of the shareable graphic feature I added to @8sites.top Thanks for making my day @vicwalker.dev.br

Keep seeing such a strong parallels between AI use and multi-sport athletes. Play multiple sports for long term development and then specialize to peak. Gain knowledge and skill by learning to do something without relying on AI then use AI to do it faster or better

Sharp post — please do make an NCAA bracket app, please do NOT make gambling apps.

Trying to finish up writing something about atproto and so close to nerd sniping myself

I'd like to imagine there's some bigwig over at Yahoo who's like, "When we agreed to this we assumed none of you would be using Bankroll Fresh lyrics in your articles." Here's the Week 10 Wrap-up: sports.yahoo.com/articles/pll...

There are plenty of real LLM coding skills, but there are so many tips and tricks that by the time word gets out, the next generation of models and harnesses are already correcting and soon enough everything has overcorrected and everyone has the opposite problem

Everyone keep posting about atproto e-commerce until we collectively nerd snipe someone into building something

Explaining the smokey air to little kids is a lot like pretending to have a girlfriend. "No, you can't go see the fire. It's in Canada."

On one hand that was obviously a dive when watched in slow motion from a bunch of different angles, but on the other hand it was good enough acting that it fooled a World Cup quality ref into giving the other guy a yellow

I did it I wrote the article wish me luck Lionel Messi is the GOAT, Ronaldo is not, why just about every statistical analyst agress www.expectinggoals.com/p/messi-rona...

Cool, added mine! 8sites.top/schlage.town Time to declare @leaflet.pub the official longform publishing app of @8sites.top 😂😇🍃 (Any feedback welcome too; currently thinking about growth, monetization, and how we as an ecosystem can collectively get ppl off substack + onto the atmosphere!)

Okay, today I am shamelessly promoting @8sites.top by agreeing to do something for anyone who adds their top 8 sites Such as: - Add your site to my top 8 - Promote something of yours - Declare your atmospheric app the official ________ of @8sites.top - Provide meaningful feedback on something

The Popehat suspension reminds me that my 2 strongest running a social media site opinions are: 1) Verified accounts are dumb unless you specify what information was verified 2) You shouldn't permanently ban people

My first (completed) atproto project is ready to share. Still needs work, but let me know what you think! Hopefully a fun thing that can improve open web discoverability 8sites.top

The distinction between paying Pat McAfee and paying Pat McAfee's production company is somehow simultaneously both not much of a difference and also a hugely important one

Had a project idea and about to buy the domain before I even start working on it because that way I will definitely force myself to follow through, right? Right?

I have been waiting for my brain to fully process everything and I still can't believe that Shawn Lyght won the Tewaaraton

Congratulations to the 2026 NCAA DI men’s lacrosse national champion Princeton Tigers

What do we have to do to get all these people posting about women’s college lacrosse on here all spring long? Going to have to start posting women’s lacrosse recruiting takes this summer
