Last night from Mattie’s at Green Pastures.

As AI gets better at helping with coding, I think it’s going to feel similar to the productivity boost going from assembly language to Pascal or C. Or maybe from C to Ruby. Development becomes more about orchestrating lots of modules that AI handles the busywork implementation for.

Warning: this episode contains strong language. With less than two weeks to go in the race for the presidency, Donald Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff is warning that he met the definition of a fascist, Kamala Harris is seizing on the message of Mr. Trump a...

Donald Trump’s former White House chief of staff, John Kelly, just revealed that he believes Trump will rule as a dictator and a fascist—and that he mused aloud about having his generals function as Hitler’s generals did. Kamala Harris jumped on this news to highlight the dire threat posed by a second Trump term. Can Harris translate this bombshell into a strong closing message in swing states that will decide this election? We talked to Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler, who walks us through what Harris must do to win the state—and what a closing argument about the dangers posed by Trump might accomplish.

I don’t really understand what consistency models are, but nice to see OpenAI sticking to their bizarre lowercase letter naming. 4o, o1, and now sCM.

Bluesky now exceeds 13 million users, the AT Protocol developer ecosystem continues to grow, and we’ve shipped highly requested features like direct messages and video.

Back in 1994, I would never have guessed that the computing future 30 years later would still have so many modal dialog boxes.

Jason Fried says version 1 is for you:

v1 is for us. No one else. Others will use it, many will resonate with it, but ultimately, v1 is ours. It’s sacred ground. There’s an eternity to change, tweak, modify, grow, expand, and adjust for everyone else, but there’s only a fixed amount of time to make that perfect version 1 for us.

The only thing I’d add is that sometimes v2 and v3 are just for us too. Micro.blog does a lot of things and the only way it works is that I don’t add features I won’t use myself.

This year, several large unions withheld their endorsements for a presidential candidate – a move that upset Democrats, because the majority of unions have always endorsed Democratic candidates. This was reflective of a shift that’s been happening since the 2016 election, wi...

Glass houses, throwing stones, etc. I gripe about ActivityPub’s chattiness but just fixed a bug that caused way too many activities to be sent out for some posts in external feeds, as if they had been edited. Need better tools to peer into the system to see what it’s actually doing.

The weakest link in Micro.blog’s server infrastructure remains our two Redis servers, which often get up to the breaking point of memory usage. That blew up today and I just finished restoring it. 48 GB memory is not enough, but I’m hesitant to do another upgrade… Need to trim the bloat instead.

As our centennial series continues, Mary Ziegler, UC Davis law professor and the author of Roe: The History of a National Obsession (Yale University Press, 2023) and the forthcoming Personhood: The New Civil War over Reproduction (Yale University Press, 2025), reviews the history of abortion law in the U.S.
