AGENTS.md is the pattern many use for progressive disclosure within a code base. The harnesses automatically read them when accessing files around AGENTS.md But yes, the general pattern is very useful if you keep it minimal. There are corre

This would imply the game state is stored in a centralized app view, at which point the general atproto ethos that you can move your data if an app becomes bad is up to the app. I believe the viable solution in a rich permission system is o

If I do decide to work on a social protocol, I will be keen to not build on existing ones to avoid the prior drama and bikeshedding. (re: the AP vs AT debate pattern that has grown this year) Will definitely "distill" several idea

That is an interesting benchmark! Though I wonder if it is probing at certain behaviors, which may be more revealing to probe at? Will keep it handy, thanks for the share! I felt better about Fireworks leadership after hearing some of them

I feel the same about Big G, with my leading hypothesis being that they are leaning into hands free Ai too much. I certainly have direct evidence for that from Google in the form of a slop deck they sent me, and perceived evidence through G

The definition of privacy is a spectrum, with what you describe at the most information secops end. Most people are not so worried about metadata leakage (they don't even know what it is, similar to atproto for most bluesky users). Wha
