When does it make sense to use Claude Code as a general tool and when should you use a more specific model from hugging face?

blindsight blows my mind

This is the 2nd time I encountered the term stigmergy online. It reminds me of the idea of tuple spaces which I got introduced to via dynamicland. It's like a coordination language feed.grantcuster.com/post/2026-05-1…

every ATproto program I've seen so far feels like it has been vibe coded with an AI. it does not remotely feel like Twitter. Twitter became successful because it is something that unfolded within a friend group

Afaict it's something that he has been thinking about for half a decade, and then he brought that seed into a group unfolding within it because of its needs, designing things on demand responding to what they wanted. that's how the tool naturally unfolded

Everything that we’ve benefitted from—the @ symbol, the hashtag, the retweet, the thread—has been invented by the people using our service, not by us. And it’s been interesting to see what Twitter wants to be and how it manifests itself year after year after year.

Quite timely now that Google search is dead (I mean it has always sucked) x.com/exgenesis/stat…

terrible. 20 yrs ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely ppl will create free, public info

@visakanv I know an open source project with a strict policy around contributions. Anyone who submits AI slop gets banned. It's mandatory to understand every single line of code of your PR and to clarify to maintainers why it adds value. And the discord is also fairly moderated

which domain has the least annoying people? (if it’s the case that each domain selects for a different kind of annoying, which domain selects for people who annoy the general population the least? or is there some kind of annoyance equilibrium?)

To me the really important thing here is creating funding structures that durably incentivize open source, open standards and security, disincentivize walled-garden mentality and extractiveness, and generally promote being a positive-sum participant toward your wider ecosystem.

is spotify down for anyone else?

@QiaochuYuan this is a footnote from michaelnotebook.com/dci/index.html

@QiaochuYuan I agree. You should communicate an idea at a level that is appropriate for the person you are talking to, otherwise you'll waste your time. for layman, you might consider leaving out ideas that are too complicated and introduce more accessible ones at first

no, goddamnit, feynman was just wrong, some ideas are genuinely irreducibly complicated. i know mathematics it would take literally years to explain to a layman, which is literally why graduate school exists as an institution, to do that high-level mathematics takes place in a very sophisticated language where every concept is defined in terms of other concepts which are defined in terms of other concepts etc. etc. etc. and fully unraveling all of these concepts back to what a layman would be familiar with takes potentially thousands of pages depending on the subject. and i'm not talking about stuff with no applications, this is the level of effort it would take to fully explain all the math that goes into the standard model of particle physics, eg other subjects are also like this! you might question whether some of these subjects are mostly fake, towers of theory disconnected from reality, but that's a different conversation entirely. the towers of theory actually do exist and require actual effort to climb

Creativity evolved for the reception of memes

@evalladen twitter-bookmark-search.com You just need to run a bookmarklet on your bookmarks page which will save them to a json file. You can then upload them to this site to browse/search It still works, I just tested it

I wanna export my twitter bookmarks anyone have something that worked for them?

@visakanv recently, i found a powerful way to reframe grief as missing out on what is, in every moment, is full of love and life. that there is wisdom you can only access in the present like improvising

@visakanv i think 2 and 3 are both the same refusal — every time the present moment contains something uncomfortable, you either flee forward into wanting, or backward into memory. and you miss what's actually here

looking back over my life, my biggest failures have been 1. bad accounting hygiene ($ & 🕰️) 2. excessive postponing, “perfectionism”, really runaway avoidance of discomfort 3. lack of presence and attunement. disassociating 4. poor meatbag management 5. poor project management

@Kgadi_yaMoloto This is not a quick fix, but feeling comfortable about yourself shows in your face and will change your entire appearance. Expressing suppressed feelings has also helped me a lot

GIRLS ONLY… what did you do to your appearance that upgraded you 100% and you kinda regret not doing it earlier? Please be honest, let’s interact.

if you really want to do something, you will always find a way even if it's cumbersome at first
