Lowering the friction of local copies of the atmosphere I think is one of the best things that can be done to unlock novel ml and sensemaking like Jaz has done! Jetstream v2 and microcosm so important. Here’s my small attempt - im sure there are better ones! github.com/pboueri/atpr...

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

A living map of what Bluesky is talking about: the past week's conversations, grouped into topics and regions and rebuilt every six hours.

Inspired by this godawful practice - here is my new feature to the app that i think provides better access controls - and of course you get notified when they check on you
Different location sharing preferences in an app including none - when you left or entered a place - rough approx loc - exact loc - a path of where you have been

The discourse is extremely frustrating to follow!
Late this week, an OpenAI researcher floated a theory about air-gapped machines talking to one another through heat signatures. An industry observer (and a New York Times contributor) responded by saying, “This stuff isn’t even credible even as a bad movie plot.” A second OpenAI researcher, who is also a former White House adviser, weighed in: “The people dismissing this as preposterous are telling on themselves as not having thought about superintelligence seriously.” This whiplash—between the insiders offering supposedly credible concerns and the outsiders who think the industry is high on its own supply—is constant. Depending on the hour of the day, the very same people stridently sitting in one camp can seem as if they’re in the other. Three days after Amodei, Anthropic’s CEO, wrote about being worried about swarms taking over the internet, he was smiling at Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference. As one X account pointed out, “If you truly believed in a 10% chance of human extinction in 3 years, you would not be spending your time selling and integrating it into a B2B CRM SaaS platform.”

For the last 2 years I have been tracking a generational change in the nature of software development, and I think I've finally decided where all of this turmoil is going to end up. It's good news, but not for everybody. seldo.com/posts/we-are-all-product-…

Agents are eating the software development lifecycle from the bottom up — code generation already gone, review and ops following fast. What remains is figuring out what people actually want, which can't be automated or scaled. That job is called product engineering, it pays $240k, and nobody's training for it.

Italo Calvino on Chicago (from 1960)
Chicago
is the genuine big American city: productive, violent, tough. Here the social classes face each other like enemy forces, the wealthy people in the strip of skyscrapers along the magnificent lake-shore, and immediately beyond them is the vast inferno of the poor neighbourhoods. You sense that here the blood has drained into the pavements, the blood of the Haymarket martyrs (the German anarchists to whom a very beautiful illustrated book has been devoted, written by the then chief of police), the blood of industrial accidents which helped build Chicago's industries, the blood of the gangsters. In the days when I was there, the famous police corruption case was discovered, which I think even the Italian newspapers mentioned. I would like to stay longer in Chicago which deserves to be understood in all its ugliness and beauty, but even the cold there is nasty, the local woman I have made friends with is trivial and not very chic (so, she's fine for Chicago), and I fly off for California.

Is there any paved path to training an agent? That is you give them complex tasks. They come back you give them some feedback and then a meta learner tweaks their prompt. I understand there’s RL for work tasks, but I assumed those fine-tune it. Talking more about a DSPy thing.
