Hi 👋,
Along with @annjose.com, I have been working on a side-project we're excited about - a bot that makes sense of the often overwhelming but informative Hacker News comments.
It's called Hacker News Companion @hncompanion.com

The viability of decentralized social media is questioned. Concerns arise about the inherent need for centralized aggregation points and the potential for a single entity to dominate even open protocols. #Decentralization 5/6

Hey Bluesky, I know how people here just LOVE everything AI, so I wanted to show you what @threepointone.bsky.social and I have been up to.

Really liked how you set up a Signal link in your Bluesky profile so people can start a DM conversation with you directly.
I borrowed the idea and added a similar link from the 'about' page on my own site.

If you are using the Vercel AI SDK and in the Vercel ecosystem, this sounds very interesting.
They allow you to bring your own keys. And, no added markup or middleman fees on model prices; you pay the model provider directly. That is pretty good 👏

Most folks use did-method-plc (the default), but there's another way that gives you more control in exchange for additional complexity and risk.

Today, we're announcing our first hosted infrastructure product: pyx, a Python-native package registry.
We think of pyx as an optimized backend for uv: it’s a package registry, but it also solves problems that go beyond the scope of a traditional "package registry".
