    I did a full rewrite from scratch Sunday to run on Cloudflare or standalone using celld.

    The rewrite branch and screenshot of the its current state at:

    Aside from fullter testing and pen-testing on Cloudflare and celld, a key feature I'm planning to add next weekend is ability to spawn new instances using Cloudflare's temporary account creation support.

  • 🔗 Micro.blog News -

    @manton - seeing this makes me think that the whole page that manages ‘sources’ in the world of ‘aggregate’ and ‘syndicate’ could be managed in a much better way. I am probably (again) an edge case - but for me it is a confusing cacophony that I have to recalibrate my brain for every time I go 🔗 here.

    If you are thinking about it at all - would be happy to summarise my thoughts for you. No point in doing that if you aren’t 😉.

  • Been a Sangeet follower for years - but don’t often share his wisdom. Not sure why. BUT - here’s an exception - one of those posts that connects disparate area of personal interest. Enjoy.

    🔗 Scarcity and strategy - Misreading AI the way Hollywood misread streaming

  • I've now read more of OpenAI's motion to dismiss the Apple lawsuit. This part sums it up:

    Instead of pleading facts showing misappropriation, Apple recasts the benign, lawful conduct of former employees—who in many of the cited instances were in fact trying to help Apple, at Apple’s request, by making sure their former colleagues’ work could continue without them—as theft of so-called trade secrets. The proffered “trade secrets” are not specific, protectable information at all; they are generic categories of the product-development process...

    It supports my original hot take.

    Stories of “people finding weird, wild and defiant ways to avoid using AI in their professional lives”. Like: “I keep a to-do list in a paper notebook, but my boss believes I have an AI task-keeping assistant via Claude.”

  • Trump Doubles Down On Conspiracy Theories After DOJ Drops Reflecting Pool Vandalism Charges

    We’ll see how long US Attorney (and, of course, former Fox News personality) Jeanine Pirro gets to keep her job. I would guess the exit door is only inches away from hitting her ass since she refused to carry out Donald Trump’s plan to punish Reflecting Pool visitors for highlighting the failures of his no-bid […]
  • Just testing. I'll delete this in a minute. 👋

  • People worry about AI bots overloading servers, but in my experience the dumb requests for potential security holes are much worse. Bots trying to get into non-existent files like htpasswd, wp-admin.php, etc. Servers getting hammered today.

    Crocs Has a Trick for Dodging Taxes: a Tiny Office in Malta. “Come tax season, the Broomfield, Colo., company has claimed that all its global profits were actually earned in this two-person office.” The US is not a serious country.

  • New Mexico Judge Appoints Himself Meta’s New Product Manager

    Earlier this year, following the initial verdict in the state of New Mexico’s case against Meta (arguing that Meta caused harm to children by doing things like encrypting messages), we noted that even if you believe that Meta is a terrible company (as I do), that Mark Zuckerberg cannot be trusted (ditto), and that the […]

    NASA has provided some early-stage funding to explore the idea of releasing a swarm of tiny probes (weighing only a few grams each) into Saturn’s rings to study them up close.

  • Another section from Mark Zuckerberg's essay:

    For example, in Richland Parish, Louisiana, where Meta is building a large data center, teachers received a $50,000 bonus this year because of the increased tax revenue from our investment. The superintendent told us that teachers are now moving there from across the country and he believes it will become one of the nation's best school districts.

    This sounds like Ben Thompson's argument to just give people money. If you think of data centers as intelligence factories, paying teachers more is actually perfect.

  • It’s Official: Flock Is For Stalking

    Flock Safety is happy it’s the go-to choice for tons of law enforcement agencies. While it does suffer some occasional bleeding, its supercharged automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) — ones that not only capture plates, but pictures of drivers/passengers and full vehicle images to capture any other distinctive features — are so widely deployed they’re […]
  • Mark Zuckerberg has a long essay today, basically an expansion of the op-ed he wrote recently. On personal agents:

    It will have strong privacy and security options so you can trust it to handle all of your personal content knowing that no one else can access your information, similar to how encryption works on WhatsApp. You'll be able to interact with your agent through any device, including your glasses to keep you present in the moment with the people you care about.

    Practically in the same breath: privacy and AI glasses! People just don't trust Meta with this.

  • I would use OpenClaw more if the chat interface was built directly into Codex. My little bot mostly goes unused because it's so disconnected from other workflows. I've thought about hacking around this... No elegant solutions.

  • Tron: Legacy (Recording Sessions) by Daft Punk

    So, I’m not exactly sure what this is, but what it appears to be is a fan-assembled album of the recording sessions for Tron: Legacy by Daft Punk & Joseph Trapanese. 67 tracks in this YouTube playlist and 61 tracks from the Internet Archive (not sure of the overlap here…) Some of it sounds just like the 31 tracks from the “Complete Edition” of the soundtrack, some of it is alternate studio takes, and some of it is probably just random bits and bobs from the movie that didn’t make it onto the soundtrack.

    Anyway, if you love this album as much as I do, I’ll leave you to explore.

  • I reviewed some of my posts about AI from 6 months ago, thinking about what I got right and wrong. The theme is focus. When writing apps or essays requires no effort, everyone will drown in content. Figuring out what to build and how to pitch it in a human way is more important than lines of code.

    “I guess all crime could be eliminated if you put cameras everywhere, surveillance everywhere, and had drones patrolling the skies [...] but what life are we living then?”
  • Thanks @dave for the kind words:

    It's not my place to say what micro.blog is -- but the other day I called it: "the swiss army knife of interop in the web of the 2020's." And in that it is unique and imho irreplaceable.

    The way I think about RSS.chat is that it's a bootstrap for getting lots of RSS feeds to play well together, for both posts and replies. Can the web be the social network? Yes. And Micro.blog should be part of anything working toward that goal.

  • How Benjamin Franklin Defined Different European Peoples

    Original Map found on redditThis map is a modern attempt to visualize a striking passage Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1751 in Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind. One important caveat: Franklin was not laying out a systematic racial map of Europe. He was talking about “complexion”, and the map extrapolates his comments onto modern borders, […]

  • #558: Hyper-Personal Software with Python

    Every company has one. The little internal tool that Jane built back in 2021, and then Jane left. Nobody understands it, nobody will touch it. There are two unwritten rules around it: don't change it, it's working. And if you break it, you bought it. That's dark-matter enterprise software.

    For every app you can actually see, there are ten of these sitting in the shadows, frozen. Michael Booth thinks that just changed. He read my article on hyper-personal software and ran with it, writing about hyper-team software: small teams inside big companies finally building the tools that were never going to get built.

    We cover where this works, where it quietly goes wrong, and the guardrails that keep it from turning into a mess. Let's get into it.

  • How to Surveil the Police (with William Gude)

    Go to https://surfshark.com/404Media to get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN, with the reassurance of a 30-day money-back guarantee, or just use code 404MEDIA at checkout. That's https://surfshark.com/404Media. This week, we talk to William Gude, who runs Film the Police LA. Film the Police LA is a YouTube channel, Instagram account, and Twitter account where William does exactly what it says in the name: He films police in Los Angeles to hold them accountable. William has been doing this for years, and has captured a series of police abuses during what are supposed to be routine traffic stops or other encounters that don’t need to be so tense. What I like about William’s work is that it’s a mix of very serious accountability journalism mixed with some humor—William is a funny guy whose rapport with cops in the videos he makes often palpably brings the tension down between the police and the people they have pulled over. William also documents surveillance in Los Angeles, and has taken to filming and talking to the Serve delivery robots in and around Hollywood as they often screw up, get stuck, or are messed with. We talk about the utility of filming the police, how people can get into police watching, what he’s learned over the years, the state of the LAPD, the spread of surveillance, and what it means to surveil the police right back.

  • Gloriavale: "Gloria Fail" (UPDATE)

    **NOTE: This episode originally aired in 2024, but a LOT has happened inside this cult since then. None of it surprising, all of it sick, and we'll fill you in on all of it.     Jason Christian was born into Gloriavale — a self-proclaimed utopic Christian community of more than 500 people on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. His grandfather, Hopeful Christian, was the leader. Shut out from the outside world and forced to work on the farm at the age of six, Jason was primed to live a life without actual freedom, as this group of true believers was all he knew. But when it was time for him to marry a woman in the community that was chosen for him, Jason made a different choice.     ____________________________

    In this bonus episode, we hop over to Cults to Consciousness with past ALBC guest Shelise Ann Sola for a real, slightly sweaty, very honest conversation about how cults mess with your head, your body, and your sense of what’s normal.

  • World Leading Psychologist: How to Manifest Anything & Create the Life You Want

    Today, you are going to learn the science of manifestation, visualization, and imagination - and the steps you can take to start creating the life you want.

    In this powerful episode, Mel sits down with Dr. Cassandra Vieten, PhD, a clinical psychologist, professor at UC San Diego, and one of the world’s leading researchers on imagination and consciousness.

    Dr. Vieten directs the Center for Human Imagination at UC San Diego, leads the Center for Mindfulness at UC San Diego’s Centers for Integrative Health, and her research has been cited more than 5,000 times.

    Together, Mel and Dr. Vieten unpack the science behind changing your mindset in order to change your life.

    You’ll discover how your mind shapes your reality and learn practical, research-backed techniques to shift your thinking and create new possibilities.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    -The difference between manifestation and magical thinking

    -How your imagination shapes your decisions, identity, and future
    -How to stop reacting to life and start intentionally creating it
    -How to use visualization even if you do not naturally see pictures in your mind

    -Why imagining the worst case keeps your body stuck in stress
    -How to meet your future self and use that vision to make better decisions today
    -How to break out of a “reality tunnel” and see possibilities you have been missing

    Dr. Vieten’s research is clear: Your imagination is not an escape from reality. It is one of the most powerful tools you have to change how you see your life, what you believe is possible, and what you do next.

    By the end of this episode, you will know how to get off autopilot, break free from the stories holding you back, and use imagination, visualization, and manifestation to start creating a more intentional and hopeful future.

  • After a week waiting for review, Wavelength 2.0 for iOS was rejected because Apple couldn’t sign in to test it. Sigh. I include a special account for app review in the instructions, but sometimes they miss it. Waste of a week.

  • Watched: House of the Dragon S3E8. Season finale. The problem with this show is that I hate pretty much all the characters. Yet still watch it. 📺

  • 👁️ OH - wait .... hello 'me' 👋🏼

  • just talking to myself - but confirmed it does. I tried Dave's app earlier - wriging there - routes to my blog - which syndicated to BlueSky - amongst others - and safely arrived. As did a reply from Masto - back in. Was wondering if RSC was going to behave the same way - and it did - full round trip confirmed. Well 'full' is foing some heavy lifting there - more testing needed - but need to work out first what I am testing for :-)

  • Making good progress on hosting an AT Proto PDS for new Micro.blog users. It'll launch soon. Important note: it is not for people who already use Bluesky, at least not yet. The goal is to give new users an account on the atmosphere. Existing users will be happier sticking with the Bluesky PDS.
