Agents are actors Multi-agent is just actor model

Things are probably headed in this direction. Anyone know of a good book/resource on Elixir/Erlang patterns? The only one I know of are supervisor trees. @gordon.bsky.social where did you find the list of patterns?

The biggest practical issue with vibecoding is complected code. Trying to find an adversarial loop to fix that.

Something will be lost when all the mountains in the US finally get cell coverage. They will be diminished. There will be nowhere you can get away.

It’s also weird that AI is creating a sort of horseshoe effect where we loop all the way back around to the CLI.

found @janl.bsky.narrativ.es's talk super inspiring re: using couchdb in crisis work www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x0k...

I almost referenced Venture Altruism in the post 😳

We took a lot of inspiration from it

I got @home-assistant.io loading over a wasm build of @tailscale.com, completely in the browser :D

Or the CouchDB of SQLite? It already supports JSON. Probably not impossible to build Couch’s sync on top?

I wish someone would make the SQLite of CouchDB.

I still like CouchDB 😤

sid meier's two envelopes paradox of game design

Sid Meier's rule of thumb for games: double it or cut it in half.

Amazing heuristic. Up there with my other favorite heuristic that I apply to everything, barbell strategy. Gonna start doubling or cutting in half so many things. You don’t even know.

What are we going to do in 10 years man

we should invent an even longer dash only humans are allowed to use

the ""On two occasions I have been asked, – "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question"" -> total normie victory 200 years later cf @vgel.me

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital — only to face little to no food again.

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.

One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.

Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

it is unfortunate that we so far have not done much training in the format

where users have relevant social dynamics between them

models are so bad at it (relative to their relative intelligence in other domains) even for very standard kinds of interactions

Wish there was a 1p or blessed 3p sandboxing solution. Feels fundamental enough to be part of the harness.

work out to flush the bad vibes out of my system, meditate a little and I stay pretty sharp and happy

interesting side effect of working out more and meditating a little: way more physically aware of how stress chemicals sour into spacey tiredness and later into mild depression
