Very good thought experiment. My hunch is that, If I know, or learning, how recommender systems work, writing the code in SQL should be an assist from LLM coding helpers.

Bluesky's growth is helped by making it easy to integrate with other #atproto apps. This of course is by design. eg: whtwnd.com/btbytes.com/...

I'm glad bluesky doesn't have a "for you" page. This allows me to be really selective about who I follow on here, and I'm never gonna follow a "list" here.

For presentations in Typst, check out Touying, Polylux, or Typslides. There are also some nice templates on Typst Universe!

So, the point of using your own domain as a handle here at bluesky is that you can own 1. your identity 2. your data Re: 2, how do I take my data with me to a new AT service provider, if I no longer want to use bluesky?

Adding my own domain btbytes.com as my handle here was super easy. Yay! Just go to settings, "change handle" and add the TXT record to your DNS records and boom! I know this is not exactly "easy" for non-technical users. But great to have this feature for those who can.
