What's the growth been like on Bluesky in the last couple months? I've been offline for a while, but am rooting for it

Does someone have a script to scrape all of Bluesky without hitting rate limits I could borrow 🥺 👉👈

i've been out for a while - how's the diversity on here at this point? woke-only or ...?

can't tell what's sparking it, but i am having a surge of creativity lately. my github is green daily on 3 different projects. i've been writing. i've been rapping. i've not been eating. LFG 💥

Assume no constraints, what do you need materially to be satisfied?

Assume free labor - what % of the earths resources / land do you need to own to have X lifestyle?

Louis @louisarge.com · 08/05/2023

Imagine the price of labor is about to go to $0 in a few years... is it: a) the time to spend all your money (because everything will be free soon) b) the time to accumulate as much capital as possible (because you'll have no way to get more after labor goes to $0) ???

keeping secrets is a virtue (a rough outline of an essay) - secrets are a kind of currency that you barter - you can barter with others and with yourself - secrets are part of the gift economy in this way

Huh. That means I'm now down to 0.56% of Bluesky following me. I used to hover around 0.6% (which was already embarrassingly far from 1%) Can we all help fix this? Tell your friends about me! 😊

I've had short AI timelines for so so many years, and still I've never known what to do based on that information. I still don't. The singularity is near, and the event horizon is impenetrable. Personally, what are you doing/feel about this? Are you nervous? Excited? Indifferent? I'm really curious

You don't understand what's about to happen 🤯 We're almost guaranteed to have a end-to-end coding + vision model (GPT-4-vision) with a 32k context length, sometime later this year Give it a Next.js repo, a task, and 4 commands: 1. Open file 2. Modify code 3. Build 4. View localhost:3000 in browser

i usually just listen to one album on repeat, lately it's Dirt Femme (Stripped) by Tove Lo. i think it's just an acoustic rerecording but it's so much better (and the original was already very good) open.spotify.com/album/6XkcQFjNbnDo…

Trying out @skyline.gay by @louis02x.com. It allows for custom algorithms and lists! It also allows for sharing your algorithms & lists and I can see it developing into a marketplace in the near future. The match/relevance percentage feature is also kinda neat.

Guess what Skyline just added? Lists! 📜💥 #1 most requested feature - and now we have it! All credit goes to @thearchduke.bsky.social for taking the initiative & getting it done. To create a list: - Go to skyline.gay - In the dropdown, press "Create timeline" - Select "List" and enter the handles 🎉

y'all are a bit too slutty. and i don't mean who you have sex with, i mean you follow too many people to keep up with my posts. i remember a simpler time (two weeks ago) when all my friends would see all my posts

I'm personally working on two lists: - Qualia Bsky: consciousness, suffering, meditation, that kinda jazz - Governance Bsky: democracy, crypto, policy, healthcare economics, etc. Raise your hand if you want to be added 👋

if we actually internalized the cruelty of factory farming, i can't imagine we wouldn't come up with a cost-effective solution to reduce most of the suffering, really fast. it's an urgent problem

@dholms.xyz i'm getting intermittent CORS errors (both on Skyline & staging.bsky.app). do you know what this is? my best guess is it's a rate limit?

this is really very good advice. if you think of it purely mathematically, an expanding radius of love/goodwill for all beings inside it will scale cubically with the radius. non-linear mettā ftw!
