Micro Social is looking really good! Upcoming app for Micro.blog from @gregmorris.

This post by Bear creator Herman Martinus is great. I probably could’ve written the same thing about Micro.blog but with a few twists. It’s always been about slow growth and lasting decades. Ben Werdmuller also has some good counterpoints about funding.

Really nice FAQ-style format for today’s Stratechery update on DeepSeek. Even if you don’t read the whole thing, you can tell something big is happening. I downloaded a medium-sized R1 model last week to test with Ollama on my Mac. Very impressed.

Good morning! This week I have two goals: respond to every email I received in January, and fix some bugs. There is low hanging fruit and a few more difficult problems to address.

I finally sorted through an old box of my dad’s stuff that I’ve had for over 25 years. I could never bring myself to open it after he died. I knew there would be some letters in it that were heartbreaking, but if I had also known there would be gems like this I would’ve looked sooner! Made me smile.

Brandon Sanderson brings so much joy to his writing class. I’ve been going through old boxes and papers (we’re moving again!) and found some sci-fi stories I wrote when I was a teenager. Younger me would’ve loved this.
