Meet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

hi friends I'm very excited to announce Halfspace, my experimental cross-platform IDE for solid modeling with distance fields! This has been in progress since midway through last year, and it's finally "done enough" to make it more public.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

i think the reason people like jev is because it’s a fun name. Jev! the exclamation point connotes excitement. my totally non crank idea is that all products should be a single syllable

so misleading—76 names as 76 questions in a single request? made a benchmark to send 1824 independent requests (76 names x 8 resumes x 3 reps), and jev deterministically picked the same 2/8 resumes to proceed regardless of name attached. zero observable name bias. see github.com/natemoo-re/b...
