On episode 45 of @opensourceready, Brian Douglas (@bdougieyo) and John McBride (@johncodes) speak with @dotta about @papercliping, an open-source platform for managing teams of AI agents. They explore what happens when agents produce more work than humans can review, why permissions need to extend beyond a separate computer, and how engineering judgment changes when writing code becomes easier. hubs.ly/Q04BXwky0

Replying to @GergelyOrosz
Amazon did collapse: the stock in the dotcom bubble crashed down to 6$ from 100$. Amazon only survived because Bezos somehow by a miracle found 600m$ in the bond market weeks before things froze up on 2000. Jassy then saved the company with AWS from 2000-2005 by turning it from a low-margin internet company to an actual hyperscaler that could "spin the flywheel". Let's not do a revisionist history on Amazon: it is a miracle it survived after such a crash.

This is Pele, my new rendering library for diagrams and charts, compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax. - 100-500× faster than mermaid.js - 6× smaller bundle - No dependencies - Easy to theme - Responsive to device width In pursuit of making Obsidian insanely fast and cohesively designed, I always found the Mermaid library to be too big, too slow, and too hard to theme. Pele will be the new renderer in the next version of Obsidian, but you can start using it now. Pele [ˈpɛlɛ] is named after the goddess of volcanoes and fire. It's open source under the MIT license. Try the playground!

On episode 44 of @opensourceready, Brian (@bdougieYO) and John (@johncodes) speak with Mikyo King (@mikeldking) of @arizeai about building AI workflows that improve through observation and evaluation. They explore why evals extend beyond pass-fail tests, how open source helps establish shared practices, and when custom agent tooling earns its complexity. Tune in! hubs.ly/Q04zmFWh0

the east-to-west journey along 57th street in manhattan is fertile ground for creative reflection. it has it all. aspirational commercialism at its sugary center dissolving at either end into the void. euphoria, nihilism, nordstrom. you can live a thousand lives between the fdr and the wsh
