💬 Tom Larkworthy: @lopecode/lopefeed

🧵conversation

I now own http://lopecode.com/ and I am putting on a notebook discovery feed for Notebooks hosted on atproto... and the landing page itself is a Lopecode document, itself hosted on atproto (https://did-plc-j7nm3lrd5h7fm3sfhcv3lhfv.lopecode.com/r/3mkxrk7yt4m2c). As Lopecode is primarily local-first, you can download anything to local file and work there. I have clear no mechanism to upload a file, hence this is definitely a devlog entry!

💬 Konrad Hinsen: A desktop made for one – Geir's Everything

🧵conversation

Vibe-coding your own desktop environment: https://isene.org/2026/05/Audience-of-One.html
As this toot points out, however, this personalization comes at the price of making oneself dependent on a coding agent.

💬 guitarvydas: Leanpub GhostAI

🧵conversation

This looks very interesting. I attended the Leanpub GhostAI workshop yesterday. I write blogs, but tend to get frustrated when trying to outline and compose whole books (I've never studied book-writing). These Claude Code skills seem to have been written by someone who knows how to structure books. I have only begun using the skills and already feel a useful arc emerging.

💬 curious_reader: Epistrons: Knowledge Artifacts for Hyperproblems - Hyperproblems

🧵conversation

https://hyperproblems.com/3mkigxsrjls2s?auth_completed=true that looks interesting, in particular „universities reorganising into platforms“ . What do you think? One of the many evolutions coming from Bret Victors exploitable Explanations leading into the many avenues of DeSci https://www.kernel.community/en/build/desci https://atproto.science

💬 Ivan Reese: There is no information content in Alan Kay - YouTube

🧵conversation

This is cute. "There is a little information content in the idea that the future is in our hands and we can do something about it"

Can a Stochastic Parrot Learn new Tricks? Introducing Tutuca-Bench

Ask coding agents to use a new framework not in the training set* to solve 3 problems:

• Todo-MVC
• Temperature converter
• 7GUIs CRUD

Results:

1. Claude Code
2. Gemini CLI (best style)
3. OpenCode + Big Pickle

Codex required identity verification so it was disqualified

• Using skills and a framework CLI to guide them

💬 guitarvydas: From State Machine to Python

🧵conversation

I walk through a simple three-state state machine and show how it is converted to Python code. This technique works for other languages. I use Python only as a lowest common denominator for this simplified example.

💬 Murat Kasimov: https://muratkasimov.art/Ya/Articles/Transformations,-functors,-categories/

🧵conversation

Hi everyone again! 👋 I published an introductory article on using natural transformations, functors and categories in Я - extremely composable embeddable programming language.
This order in the title is not accidental - functors start making sence in context of natural transformations and categories are rarely interesting without reasoning in terms of mappings between them i.e. functors.
In this article I briefly introduce these concepts and demonstrate how to use other categories in Я besides Arrow (regular functions) - Scope category and Event precategory; along how they are related to each other:
