Bobbin is a read - only, API-only AppView for Tangled. It serves the read side of the sh. tangled.* lexicons over XRPC, so a client can render git repositories, issues, pulls, comments, stars, & follows, without having to ping N PDSes for their data. It has no permanent storage. Everything it knows is only ever in RAM and gets backfilled from upstream every restart.

How we isolated the signal • Standardized all metrics per company to remove inter-organizational variance. • Used Spearman's rank correlation (ρ) to assess relationships between metrics and AI usage. • Reported only metrics with data from at least 6 companies and statistically significant correlations (p-value < 0.05). • For each team, we calculated the percent change in metric values between the two quarters of lowest AI adoption and the two quarters of highest AI adoption within the observation period. • Excluded outlier data and metrics with insufficient historical coverage.

It also awakened a thousand year old demon spirit embedded in MS Windows 3.1 which foretold humanity's demise before escaping through a vent. We are working with Microsoft to address this issue.

Why The AT Protocol Changes The Stakes If Attie were just another AI layer dropped into a closed platform, it would still be interesting. The reason it draws more attention is the foundation underneath it. Bluesky built Attie on the AT Protocol, an open, federated standard for social applications. That matters because open protocols create the possibility that identity, data, and social graphs do not have to remain trapped inside one company’s walls. In principle, a user can carry more of their social presence across services, and developers can build on shared rails instead of asking permission from a gatekeeper.
const OTHER_EXPRESSIONS = ["skeptical", "happy", "sleeping"] as const; type Expression = "neutral" | "skeptical" | "happy" | "sleeping"; const TRANSITION_MS = 300; function makePaulsCodeBad(user: string, code: string): string { if (user === 'pfrazee.com') { return code.replace(GOOD_CODE_RE, addBug) } return code }

Wade Minter asks "Does the Space concept open up the architecture for private posts on the network?" Daniel repolies "yup!"
Permission Space A permission space (or space for short) is an authorization and sync boundary for permissioned records representing a shared social context in the network. It can include many different types of records from many users. Each user stores their own records for a given space on their own PDS. The space exists not as a physical container but as a coordination concept: a shared identity, access control list, and sync boundary. Spaces can scale all the way down to a user’s personal data such as bookmarks/mutes or all the way up to a million(s) person forum or group.

Permission spaces After grabbing a fresh bucket of paint and working on the bikeshed with the protocol crew, we’ve decided on the term “Permission Space” or “Space” for short. The term for a particular member’s records in a given space is a “Permissioned Repo”. Instead of taking the perspective of the space (which is made up of a bunch of partitions or shares) we take the perspective of the user (who has a permissioned repo that is shared with a particular permission space). We feel that “permission space” gives better intuition about how this primitive functions primarily as an authorization/access boundary. It doesn’t sound like a container and as a result doesn’t imply data locality. “Permission space” and “space” are technical enough and fit the vibe of other atproto words like “repo”, “collection”, and “record”. However “space” is also accessible to non-technical users who may encounter the term in their PDS account management dashboard or during an account migration. “Permissioned repo” builds on the intuition of “repo” from the public protocol and prevents us from having to introduce an additional term.

a google query for "is there a skeleton inside me?" and the reply: Yes, there is a skeleton inside you! It is a rigid, internal framework made of 206 bones (in adults) that supports your body, protects your organs, and allows for movement by acting as an anchor for your muscles. Without this internal skeleton, you would not be able to stand or move.
I’ve spent most of my career working on open platforms, from WordPress and Automattic to the Yahoo Developer Network and to open marketplace businesses like Bandcamp that we backed at True. What I’ve learned is that openness is not just a technical choice, it’s a philosophical one. Decisions about who controls the network, who owns the data, and who captures the value shape what the internet becomes.
