Yeah, engagement on BS has been hit or miss for me.

Feels like the communities that I care most about (data, ML, startups) have been just below the critical threshold.

But maybe we're getting there...?

A year ago, the anti-AI mob on bluesky was loud and intense, but I think it's faded

How recently? 12 or even 6 months ago, the mobbing was intense, but I haven't seen it as much recently.

So.... it seems like now we can post about AI on bluesky without getting violently mobbed.

... yes?

Before my partner goes camping, she counts the exact number of marshmallows and graham crackers she plans to use for s'mores.

I don't hink I could live that way

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

Unforgivable that Home Depot sells garden gnomes but does not have a dedicated section called Gnome Depot.

How a glitch in an online survey replaced the word โ€˜yesโ€™ with โ€˜forksโ€™ Dating back to at least early 2023, a bizarre and alarming technical glitch started popping up in some organizationsโ€™ online surveys and forms.

Last year we encountered a strange glitch in one of our surveysโ€ฆthe word โ€œyesโ€ was being replaced with the word โ€œforksโ€ in response options. Read on to learn how we unraveled what was causing it, how we ensured it didnโ€™t impact the data quality, and what to do if it happens to you!

In the last few days, I'm finding myself fighting memories in Windsurf a lot more often.

Cascade will often get hung up on irrelevant/outdated info in memories and ignore/garble specific instructions.

It started happening right after I installed the Wave 4 updates.

Anybody else seeing this?
