A new blog post: vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog.... This time it's a reply to @davidgasquez.com excellent Atmospheric data portals post bsky.app/profile/davi... #atproto #geo #matadisco

Cool! This helps with the "how it works" side of things. I'd still love to learn more about the details and architecture! Feels efficient and very well thought!

Indeed! Was wondering if the code was open source by any chance. Would love to learn more about how it works!

Meanwhile, I couldn't resist to write a quick post with some thoughts down.

Treat it as an entrypoint to all the notes and ideas I have scattered around. Been thinking about open data for a long time! 🙈

Amazing! Excited to follow along. This is something I've been thinking about for a while.

I wrote something super quick mostly as a pointer to related docs and ideas I have scattered around.

So cool! Any code to 👀?

Would love to know how are you chunking into blobs and overall design!

Was thinking about 🤗 datasets too and though about a possible S3 style file storage adjacent to the PDS (ala tangled knots, but for bigger data).

Chunking into blobs seems smart and much simpler!

Curious if there are any public and open snapshots of the social graph or backlinks.

I understand there might be privacy concerns so "nope" is good!

That'd be amazing! Been thinking about "HuggingFace Datasets" on the AT Protocol and this is something I was researching.

Enjoy the conference!

Woah, this is really nice! I started thinking about this a while back (github.com/orgs/datonic...) and am happy to see Matadisco.

Your post intro reminded me of all the notes I had around open data (davidgasquez.com/handbook/ope...).

Would love to catch-up and chat if you are up for it!

Thanks for sharing this!

I have these two repositories in my bookmarks:

- github.com/hazat/pi-int...
- github.com/nicobailon/p...

Wanted to give a go at an actor based approach after seeing how well the interactive subagents extension work.

Did you try something up with Pi U Actor Model?

ESP32 running iroh

This took a bit longer. Here is the blog post about how to get @iroh.computer to work on an esp32:

It requires some patches to main, but we have made progress making the patch smaller.

If you want to try it out, here is the repo:

✨ Add local qmd project index support · davidgasquez/dotfiles@5de0ae7

Started using Tobi's QMD recently and wanted it to be more declarative.

Wrote a 10 line wrapper so it read a local project folder and index db.

This also makes the index.yml easy to version control and share!

Agentic engineering is mostly about building reliable systems around unreliable components (like your friendly coding agent). A good analogy I like is how early computers were powerful, but not trustworthy enough to be used “raw”. Hardware failed, bits flipped, and storage was noisy. Engineers had to build systems around the machine to make things more predictable. And, they came up with a bunch of interesting ideas! Error correction codes Redundancy Checksums Validation layers Retry logic With these, even though reliability was not a property of the machine/computer, it became a property of the system. This is something close to where we are with “Agentic Engineering”. As you’ve probably experienced, a coding agent can be fluent, useful, and very wrong at the same time! The key is to, like the early programmers did, treat agents as noisy components instead of trying to get the perfect/bigger one.

In earlier eras of computing unreliable hardware forced system design discipline (checksums, retries, modularity).

There is a lot of that we are rediscovering in the "Agentic Engineering" era!

Wrote a small post about this idea.

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

NON-ZERO-SUM GAMES ~ a world-help site ~

Adding nonzerosum.games in my pack of "I wish everyone saw this" alongside the following resources:

- Mind Field (www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...)
- Human, the movie (youtu.be/fC5qucSk18w)
- The Story Of Us (web.archive.org/web/20230129... - first 9 chapters)
- The Sagan Series (saganseries.com)

Finally catched up with all nonzerosum.games podcast episodes over the weekend!

Thanks for producing them in audio too @nonzerosumjames.bsky.social!

Once you experience shared lexicons and the benefits of a single portable identity, it feels like a new open network. But the most important part is that it practically works as an extension of the web. We can add social features to our websites without even mentioning atproto. Frictionless adoption

Was really easy to build thanks to this specification.

Made a silly CLI to run queries over markdown files and their frontmatter inspired by Obsidian Bases.

Curious, why are the labs buying developer tooling companies? Better sandboxing / language integrations?

Also, aren't they saying coding is a thing of the past?

Happy for the Astral folks as they've done an amazing work though!

Yeah! If you need schema guarantee of some sort you havo to make sacrifices and use other formats like Parquet. Tradeoffs!

I think datapackage.org is the latest effort! Not sure how well supported it is though. Seems there haven't been many updates since the 2.0 release.

AT Protocol is getting an IETF Working Group

Very close! Thanks Mosh. Looks similar to ufos.microcosm.blue!
