Show HN: A livestream of all image descriptions (alt text) on Bluesky https://ift.tt/zybveCD

Show HN: A livestream of all image descriptions (alt text) on Bluesky In 2019, an academic paper by Gleason et al. found that only 0.1% of Twitter image posts had any form of image description (alt text) [1]. I wanted to see the analogous number for Bluesky today - my full blog post is here [2], but I found looking at the live stream was illuminating and fun too: * Bluesky image posts are frequent enough to keep moving, but not so frequent that it's an unreadable blur. * There's lots of bot content for things like ADS-B feeds (planes nearby), radio station "Now playing", and good old-fashioned affiliate link spam. * There is a lot of detailed descriptions for sexual content. This was a surprise to me! [1] https://ift.tt/BvLzEdW [2] https://ift.tt/wXi2EbW https://bobbiec.github.io/bluesky-alt-text.html September 7, 2025 at 10:59PM

A big difference between LLMs and agents is that agents have associated state: system prompts, editable memory (personality and user information), tool configurations (code and schemas), and LLM/embedding model settings. While you can run the same LLM as someone else by downloading the weights, there’s no “representation” of agents that allows you to re-create an instance of an agent across services. Agent File (.af) is an open standard file format for serializing stateful agents. Originally designed for the Letta framework, .af is a human-readable representation of all the associated state of an agent to reproduce the exact behavior and memories. To demonstrate .af, we also made a few example agents with download links to .af: - MemGPT: An agen...
