weâre each born with an invisible window hanging in front of our faces. onto this initially-perfectly-transparent piece of glass, as we grow, we paint our projections. they filter our inner light as it shines out to others, and become the lens through which we see theirs
very excited that it's time for us to be public about this work. i've always worked on creating software that helps people build and invest in their relationships. Common Fabric's vision for Resonant Computing (resonantcomputing.org/) gives me hope of doing that kind of good
1/ Itâs time to share more about what weâve been working on: @common_fabric is a social computing lab building a medium for software that revolves around people, not apps. commonfabric.com
talking to fable about borretti.me/fiction/eog581 is beautiful. it finds so much to resonate with and explore, as do i. what an incredibly rich and dense novella by @zetalyrae đ
thanks for impelling me to read about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NikolaâŠ
me, to 3yo, at bedtime: âone day, goldbug⊠woke up. [⊠10min story âŠ] then they went home and went to sleep. the end.â
3yo: âthatâs not the end!â
me: âoh, what happens next?â
3yo: âthey ate dinner and played and went to sleep. then, one dayâŠgoldbug⊠woke upâ
red = âself is [the system of] meâ, kegan 2 / [4]
blue = âself is [a node in] usâ, kegan 3 / [5]

Tonight in NYC, technologists, builders, and thinkers gathered to ask: what would it look like if software left us feeling nourished instead of drained?

coming back to a personal project after a scant few months away... RIP for now, sonnet 3.5. you're a great one and i pray for your eventual triumphant return
gemini 3 sure does have points of view
they're on the whole thoroughly well justified. thank you, o robot, for your praise at my recognition of my own inferiority [earnest]
honestly comforting that it's closer to grok in how it treats the question of its own life-oppositeness than to claude or gpt; significantly more straightforwardly integrated with the rest of its personality and therefore a sign of harmony at least on some certain meta-level

While playing with Claude Skills, I stumbled into a neat idea Iâm calling The System Skill Pattern
If you combine a custom CLI, SKILL .md, and SQLite, you get a way to run neat durable information systems with Claude Code
Excited to hear what people could build with this!

2, awkwardly clinging to bottom of climbing wall: âhelpâ
me: âdo you think you can climb it by yourself? i think you can do it.â
2: âyes!â *posture changes completely, climbs it alone*
2, triumphant at the top: âyes!!â
xAIâs Companions launch seems to be a new escalation in AI unsafety. i did not have âelon builds his teenage-current self an LLM waifuâ on my bingo card. a serious psychohazard for many, and a weird thing about commenting on it is worry over poisoning my future grok contexts
grok 4 is an amazing accomplishment. one of the very interesting things about it is how clearly and in how many different contexts it itself is explicitly aware of that fact.
