Every time the World Cup comes around, or at least since England first and last won it 60 years ago, there’s talk of whether it’ll be brought “back home.” The idea being, of course, that football (or soccer, as it’s called in a couple of the countries hosting this year’s matches) was made in England. […]

Amid live coding sessions and Silicon Valley optimism, the UN’s AI for Good summit wrestled with an increasingly urgent question: Can global governance catch up before the technology races beyond its control?

+1 for the single scheme (at:// with the /space/ segment). I’ve built this in HappyView, so I’ll try to speak to how it’s working. First off, HappyView currently supports both formats. I built support for the ats:// based on Dan’s dev diaries, then added at:// after the proposal PR was closed. After building all of this out, I personally lean towards at://. The /space/ disambiguator has worked well in HappyView: the parser decides space-vs-record on the literal space segment alone, with no net...

Thursday, July 9, 2026 Can RSS be a social network? # Back in 2022 I wrote a bit called textcasting. I felt it was so important it deserved its own domain. # Textcasting summarized the wrong turn we took when Twitter took over discourse, basically stripping all the fe...

Berber Jin and Anissa Gardizy, reporting for The Wall Street Journal (gift link): Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s No. 2 executive, plans to step down from her full-time role after an extended medical leave. She communicated her decision in a note to staff Thursday, saying that her ...

GPT-5.6 impresses the critics, but Fidji Simo's exit leaves OpenAI's focus — and its org chart — in flux. PLUS: Meta plays catch-up, and the "AI 2027" authors present "AI 2040."

New feature, scroll through the timeline, there’s now a wedge to the left of the comment icon. If the item has replies that are not visible it’s dark. Click it, the replies are revealed.

Meta on Thursday rolled out Muse Spark 1.1, a major update to its AI platform, just three months after launching

The post Meta debuts Muse Spark 1.1 and it isn’t free appeared first on The New Stack.

/getiteminfo joined /getitembyguid in robots.txt's Disallow list — both calls serve individual posts on demand, and we'd rather aggressive crawlers not treat them as an invitation to walk the whole database one post at a time. Feeds remain the front door, and they're static files on S3.

Every post now carries a small wedge just left of its comment icon, and it answers a question the timeline never could: is there more underneath? A dark wedge means the post has replies you aren't seeing — click it and they open right there, nested under the post, with everything else on screen staying put. Click again and they fold away. Each opened reply has its own wedge, so a deep conversation unfolds level by level, as far down as you care to go. A light wedge means don't bother clicking — nothing hidden. No spinning, no pointing down when open: the shade is the whole signal, an idea borrowed from outliners going back to Frontier, where it's worked without complaint for decades. If you've used Drummer, or the blogroll on scripting.com, your eye already knows how to read it.

The icons on the left — Home, New post, Feed, Flip, Data — now show their names next to them, in the style of the sidebars in Claude and ChatGPT. Same icons, same behavior, much easier to learn. (Theme v0.5.311.)

A heart under a post briefly showed a like count of minus one — the server always had the right number, but the copy on screen was doing arithmetic on stale information. The cause: a post can be on screen in more than one place at once (the timeline, its own story page), and when likes changed, only one of those copies got the news. Now every visible copy of a post updates together, and the count on screen can never go below zero. (Theme v0.5.307.)

“Creators deserve credit, compensation, and consent. If that's not on the table, the crawlers can stay the fuck off Patreon," CEO Jack Conte wrote on Thursday.
