It's ChatGPT's third birthday today, so I pulled other some quotes from the early
months of ChatGPT on my blog
OpenAI really did not expect it to be as popular as it was!
ChatGPT is three years old today
It's ChatGPT's third birthday today. It's fun looking back at Sam Altman's low key announcement thread from November 30th 2022: today we launched ChatGPT. try talking with it here: chat.openai.com …

Wanted to share this interesting visualization by @rubenmathisen.bsky.social that we took a look at in my sociology class.
Especially the first and last map are quite powerful.

Really interesting article about how predictably people choose 4 digit codes:
Is your PIN code among the first ones hackers are likely to try?
The ABC analysed 29 million stolen codes to help you avoid using an insecure one.

What a cool (and surprisingly accurate) game…

Only discovered this now, but this is such a cool branding!
Like with FocusFlight (apps.apple.com/us/app/focus...), these airport/flight metaphors just work for me :D

So happy to finally introduce a super cool tool I made for @sprk.so:
Airport ✈️
It makes AT Protocol migrations between PDS servers available to anyone with a simple web interface.
Check it out at atpairport.com
Star it on Github at github.com/knotbin/airport

Affinity is free now and an all-in-one tool?
I'm a bit worried there is some sort of catch here (maybe not now but in the future) and that a one-time fee like before would have felt more reassuring.
But let's be happy while it lasts, Affinity is great :)

Excited for you to try it.
🎨 TIL why OKLCH is a superior color format compared to HSL (which is what I currently use most often).
In short, OKLCH supports the wider P3 color space natively and it works with perceived lightness instead of the absolute one.
OKLCH in CSS: why we moved from RGB and HSL—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
CSS Color Module 4 adds oklch(), and we gain P3 wide-gamut support, boost code readability, and improve developer-designer communication.

This visualization was a great overview for an initial understanding of the differences between AT and AP.
(also go watch @danabra.mov's talk that explains AT in more detail:

@danabra.mov
i wonder if diagrams like these might help draw the distinction between ActivityPub (and how Mastodon uses it) and AT Protocol (and how it’s used by Bluesky and atproto apps)?
with AP, instance = application + hosting. data gets sent between instances.
with AT, data flows *from* hosting *to* apps
