We created our own implementation of ax and agent substrate for GKE Autopilot. Each sandbox process runs as its own gVisor thread alongside our existing k8s pods. Autopilot will seamlessly scale horizontally and vertically. No need for external Sandbox SaaS 👍

Event discovery is broken. I'm building the only tool you need to find the things you want to do. The site is live and operational (beta) for NYC, LA, São Paulo, and Berlin. Try it out, I'd love to hear your feedback. Share this with a friend you want to do something with.

i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting

physical 3rd spaces disappearing = room for digital 3rd spaces imagine meeting people because their agents and yours have been collaborating for months and figured out you'd actually like each other - so they book you both an activity to do together an agentic meet-cute

the first git commit was made 20 years ago, on 04/07/05 by Linus Torvalds git was designed for humans, when agents were science fiction. the system was never designed for who the writer is now everything we're seeing break down now is downstream of this. no patch will fix it.

what fixes it is version control where: 1. every writer is signed 2. every contribution gets attributed by the graph itself 3. capacity scales like a protocol does that's a different system. we're building it.

Four things we solved for this on @makechainnet: 1. Deterministic merges. (parents, patches, strategy) → hash via BLAKE3. Anyone can recompute and check. e.g. A wrong squash produces a wrong hash — the server can't hide it, and any client catches it automatically. 2. Signed intent. The author signs a capability token over {source, target, strategy, constraints}. Any merge that deviates fails verification at every node. So there's no surface for server-side "reinterpretation." 3. BLS-certified inclusion. The validator set attests your op is in the canonical DAG. And any client verifies the cert Merkle proof without an archive node. 4. All messages are part of an append-only, content-addressed history. A bad merge can be superseded, never silently rewritten. Detection is local and instant for users, agents, build systems. Plus QMDB inclusion/exclusion proofs. You won't need an email four hours later. DM if this makes sense to you; we're hiring. GitHub will see more of these as the internet scales with AI.
Didn't think Github's reliability could get worse, and then they ship a bug that _randomly reverts previously merged commits_. Betting that this caused multiple serious production issues out there.

looks like it's the perfect time to be building an alternative to github 👀
This GitHub incident is insane. Merge queue commits have been reverting previously merged commits at random. This not only breaks the mental contract teams have with Git in general, but is subtle enough to be really hard to unravel after the fact. githubstatus.com/incidents/z…

ngl the older i get the more appealing renfaire and larping becomes like yes i'd like to play pretend swords and speak in ye olde english and fight for my woman's and family's honour instead of thinking about the world's current state of existence

huge!!! @heavygweit and @christopherwxyz have been GRINDING and I can’t wait to see what else is in store
We're excited to drop our SPECIFICATION.md for Makechain: a protocol for making things. We have a ton to share over the next few weeks: demos, apps, agents, onramps, and so much more built on top of this new network! @makechainnet github.com/officialunofficia…

at our core as a team, we've always been focused on building something oriented towards: 1) collaborative creation 2) the discovery and personalization we can offer on top of 1's outputs after experimenting for two years, makechain is our first major piece of that puzzle

settling back in post stripe commons where i spent 3 days yapping about stablecoins and agentic payments after hibernating and quietly building a new thing over the winter, felt nice to be around serious builders keen on exploring the new surface areas @tempo and @mpp open up
