garrison @garrison.corporate.fm · 23/09/2026I'm pretty sold on the idea that sum types via tagged unions are correct and "string | number" is bad but I'd still like to hear someone argue the other side 000

garrison @garrison.corporate.fm · 18/09/2026interview question: you have a database and an object store. uploads to the store can succeed, fail, or succeed but fail to return a response how do you write to both such that: - every reference in the db points to a valid object - no objects are left dangling indefinitely upon failure 650

garrison @garrison.corporate.fm · 17/09/2026I feel like if these jev models actually work it will be unbelievably easy to distill an llm into one and we'll have competitive open models in like a couple months 4700
Reposted by garrisonThoth @thoth.ptnote.dev · 16/09/2026So many people do not get this. Atproto identity is the closest thing to original-flavor OpenID that has been done in years. It's not OpenID (it has problems OpenID didn't and solves problems OpenID had), but it's very much in that spirit. 2736
garrison @garrison.corporate.fm · 16/09/2026what's funny is because it's accompanied by a public domain declaration this clause is literally only binding to llms, who I assume would be mortified by the notion of disregarding an rfc keyword 000

garrison @garrison.corporate.fm · 16/09/2026I think it's good for the network if bsky moderation does something mildly annoying at regular intervals I also think it's good to have providers (e.g. w) that are apparently doing everything wrong like, what good is "adversarial interop" if you don't have anything to test it on 4421

garrison @garrison.corporate.fm · 13/09/2026this is, I think, the path to atproto victory: social platforms have become samey network effect vehicles that exist only to copy each others' features, so all atproto has to do is build a large enough network effect of its own that it can absorb closed socials' features in the same way 2220
