15 weeks ago I sat down and wrote up some ideas about how custom feeds could become a high-leverage mechanism for fundamentally changing the economics of the attention economy. Today was my last day at my day job- I’m now full time @graze.social! Incredibly excited to give this all I got!

I watched @devingaffney.com furiously rewrite this at least twice over the weekend and it is great they are open sourcing it. It is no small feat to make processing the firehose efficient while handling an unknown amount of users custom feeds.

A letter to donors, made available to the public.

Along with the trending feed you can see the pulse of video game content on bsky with my latest videos version again thanks to @graze.social I'm not able to watch this one as closely so you may see more non-gaming related videos than I'd like, working on that.

Been playing around with @graze.social more since the new video feeds feature dropped and I setup a feed of trending video game related videos, lots of game dev videos do well it seems. Even though I can't filter on video content, manage to have over 90% relevant videos.

Gracie is a great hunter, trying to get that mouse!

Without ANY context at all, here's a track from Wolfenstein II OST. A game where you kill nazis. Tons of 'em.

To make @bsky.app billionaire proof, we have to flip the attention economy upside down, and put the community in control. Sponsored content makes the internet work - but we get to decide who it works for in this new era. We're going to make it work for all of us, together. Are you ready to join us?

Me today, Buzz everyday

I know it kinda feels like "cutting corners" and I've seen people disapprove of this approach, but you know, we're in a phase of early experimentation… maybe let's cut people some slack, let's try things out, see what works and then learn from this?…

To anyone thinking of building a video app on atproto (e.g. Tiktok-like) videos alone in a vertical feed are not enough. You will need to provide a way to build a FYP that people feel is actually personalized and that allows small creators ways to break through. Simply put, those are table stakes.

Up past 8 a second now. Will we see 30m before the end of February?

Of course you have people keyword stuffing to get on the trending feeds.

Whatcha doin' there?

What do you think you're doing down there?

I have got to say, I have been enjoying my time with @zed.dev It is still early so doesn't have everything, but it is smooth, and as a former VIM user I like their approach. It also looks great, which is a major plus.

What's that? We just finished the first large scale sponsored post campaign ever on @bsky.app. After 500k impressions, what did we find? 1. It performed as well as any other sponsored content online, 2. Not a *single* person was upset! You'll be able to run sponsored posts, only on Graze, soon:

My sleep's been jacked up lately. Mostly my fault though.

He's so pretty. Love my Buzz Buzz.

I'm sure it is already planned, but @graze.social take note!

It's a new year, why not some new features? We've upgraded our previews so you can see your feed before publishing. No more 'publish and pray' — just generate previews in edit mode based on past posts. Enjoy the improved experience!

This is no small feat, getting all of these ML evaluations going on every post in the firehose (for any feed that uses these) is kind of crazy. 🎩's off to the @graze.social team Makes you wonder, what's next?

New year, new feature for @sql-workbench.com: You can now use a CORS proxy to access remote datasets that don't have open CORS headers. Have a look at the docs at sql-workbench.com/docs/using-t...

Unless being basic is "avant-garde" now I have some way to go to meet this definition.

There's very few people (let alone groups of people) doing "science" with software like this. This is nifty, but so are all the other crazy @duckdb.org based (or themed) repos.

I've been bopping to this song. I've not played the game the video is made from, but surely does it bang! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQLy...

I'm a party pooper, I really don't care about new years. Hell most holidays don't register for me. Outside of having a day off of work and spending time with family, they are just another day like any other. Happy first day of January!
