Really not much to say to uninformed takes like this other than “do better”. Both in the research on what you’re writing about but also like, go build something better. Deploy it, scale it, grow it. I would happily concede to someone actually building a better decentralized social network.

Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff.
In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

Claude really does feel like it has something more going on than any of the other models. It's hard to say what exactly, and I think it is still limited by the architecture, but Anthropic is definitely at the forefront of making LLMs that can properly reason about things.

In past side projects i would never bother to make a UI, or I would just have a janky CLI that interacts with everything, having Claude make me a simple little web interface for things now is really nice, even if its not “good” it’s very helpful and makes things more fun to keep working on

2025-10-18 15:58:27 UTC

Added support to Konbini for jetstream and multiple backends. Jetstream is *much* lighter in terms of bandwidth and CPU to process the firehose, and the multiple backends config can be used to just subscribe to individual PDSs instead of a full relay firehose.

2025-10-17 18:13:33 UTC

It's really amazing to me, a person born in the 90s, that I have a 13" laptop that has 24 CPU cores that go up to 5.1Ghz and 96GB of ram and it weighs under 3 pounds. So easy to take for granted just how far compute performance has improved.

Claude 4.0 review so far:
Its definitely the best coding model, really solid stuff there.
It doesn't necessarily generate better code on a function by function level, but it stays on track for longer tasks much better, and its a lot better at spotting issues.

If this whole non-archival relay thing moves forward as is, it means pretty much any dev can run a relay. Requirements move down to ~8 cores, 16gb ram, ~2Tb ssd (can reduce this too) and as much bandwidth as you want to provide to your downstream users
