Exploring ...

prev. founding engineer @ http://depict.ai
I’ve been getting quite interested in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) -- initially proposed @anthropic.com

Since I enjoy working with @modal-labs.bsky.social
I made Modal MCP Toolbox to learn more about the protocol.

So far you can:
- Safely run arbitrary code
- Create images

In case you were wondering 1 meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/299 792 458 of a second where the second is defined in terms of the cesium frequency, ΔνCs.

Do I know any techies that live in Lisbon and want to co-work / hang out?

Anyone else can taste when this has been used on food in restaurants?

Just stumbled upon the most wholesome website:

A website purely about stickbread—no ads, no sales pitch, just a genuine passion shared with the world. So nice!

When I first got onto Bluesky my whole feed was basically Nebulas.

Nice, but not really an interest of mine.

Now my Discover feed is mostly great, but every now and then I still get a pic of a Nebula in there.

I wonder why my Bluesky is so obsessed with Nebulas.

Anyway this one is pretty 🪐
Spacey Christmas with this lovely animation from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory!

This is the Christmas Tree Nebula, and they've added X-ray data which winks on and off to be the fairy lights :-)

One thing I really love about @modal-labs.bsky.social is that you only pay for the actual compute time you use (not for idle CPU).

Are there any other services that let you run a container and just bill for used CPU cycles?

I'm looking for a service that let's me subscribe a webhook to a filtered bluesky firehose.

For example:

filter: post `bsky.app`
post to: `https://example.com`

does that exist?

Would appreciate a repost since I don't have many followers 🙈.

I wonder how long apple will stick to the Disco Animation for Apple Intelligence.

It's quite cool, but I think day to day it's a bit much.

Super excited that we can have another round of:

can we please get keyboard shortcuts on @bsky.app 🙏

especially:

`j` - down
`k` - up
`l` - like
`r`- repost

Omg thank you Bluesky 🫶.

Every app should give that option!

Alright. Let's try this social media thing again.
