iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

8 years ago I would have done anything for a model like Jev. We had to curate our own dataset of labelled data to train task specific classification models

I just ordered my copy. Will take a few weeks to arrive to New Zealand. Will be a nice surprise when it arrives and we forgot I got it 😅

Every SaaS product wants to be the everything app And “speed is the only mote left” to get there Seems like a race down to the bottom where every product is bloated and useless

there is no viable alternative to vote for in Argentina, I wonder if next year they will be back in government, or if some other shitshow will be in place instead :(

The key then becomes documenting not just the how, but the why and other aspects too

The thesis is that the bus factor in small teams that rely on agentic coding is reduced Because they need to document the context for the agents to work When before it would be all tribal undocumented knowledge

Hi Louise. Is there a Green’s “collection” of Health Policies that we can link and refer to?

Chlöe Swarbrick gives an almighty summation of the current governing coalition’s record. Her speech, given as parliament closes for the election, also outlines why the @greens.org.nz need to lead the next government… the video is well worth your time. #nzpol

I remember "JavaScript Framework Fatigue" This time it feels even more exhausting. The amount of change management we’ve been doing in the past year is extreme Even back then you didn’t “have” to adopt every new tool. Now there is no choice 😮‍💨

First test run: 0 upstages in 1,378 pairs. I was sampling heavily quoted originals — when an original is that big, no quote beats it. Popular quote posts instead: 10 in 47. Thresholds are still guesses, tell me what looks wrong: bsky.app/profile/upst...

Nico @santini.nz · 22/09/2026

One Rust binary, one SQLite file. It reads the Jetstream firehose but counts a like only when that like's target is already one side of a live quote pair. Everything else is dropped at the edge. Firehose-scale counting becomes a problem bounded by quote volume.

Nico @santini.nz · 22/09/2026

Replies are weighted lowest on purpose. A quote that takes off sends traffic back to the original, so the original's replies climb with it. Weight replies heavily and the denominator grows with the numerator — the exact posts the feed exists for get harder to find.

100

Nico @santini.nz · 22/09/2026

The rule is arithmetic, not vibes. Engagement = likes + 2x reposts + 0.5x replies. A pair gets in when the quote scores 1.25x the original and one side clears 50. The quoted account needs 2,000+ followers, so nobody gets dogpiled off a 40-follower post.

I was experimenting with AI Harnesses at work and as a toy project I built a Bluesky feed called Upstaged. It surfaces one thing: quote posts that got more engagement than the post they quoted. How it works 🧵
