Three great examples of HTML web components:

What I hope is that you now have the same sort of epiphany that I had when reading Jeremy Keith’s post: HTML Web Components are an HTML-first feature.

Today I got my Hello World app for ChatGPT working.

I'm really excited about maybe finally getting my archive of Scripting News and DaveNet stuff, dating back to 1994, into ChatGPT before too long. Some people will be surprised to find that they're in the archive. If this works it'll be like the index in the back of a large book. I know I've tried this before, but this time I think I'll be able to do it myself and fuss over it and learn from it the way I do software development. Converting a very large work of writing into a reference, I hope.

1995: "There was nothing rehearsed about Jerry Garcia."

More movies lately, getting the most from the Alamo Drafthouse season pass… Borderlands is exactly what it looks like from the trailer. Also saw Twisters again and it holds up on repeat viewings. The Instigators on TV+ was a lot of fun too. 🍿

Now that we’ve got breakdancing, I think the Olympics officially has enough events. I don’t want to say “no” to anyone’s sport, but at some point it feels like there are so many events it will become overwhelming to coordinate for future cities, and viewers. Good thing TV now has infinite channels.

One of these years I’d like to make it out to D23. Seems like a fun weekend. There is so much to work on right now, really feeling the need to get away for a couple days and reset.

New episode of Core Int out today. We talk about the antitrust verdict against Google search, the potential impact on Apple and Mozilla, whether Apple Intelligence will ever be something third-party developers can build on, and the general disappointment of Apple platforms becoming more closed.

Any news org with cash to invest could do to the NYT what ChatGPT is doing to Google.

Lawrence is the new Rachel.

What we call journalism in the US isn’t.

4-minute podcast about my first venture into ChatGPT via its API.

There's an accompanying GitHub repo, with an example app in JavaScript that runs in the browser.

Includes instructions for setting up and funding a developer account, which was the biggest hurdle.

Functionality: It tells you who Bull Mancuso is.

Much excitement as I think about integrations I can now do.

Don't know why I waited so long. 😄

[Dan Kennedy at Media Nation] "Four years ago, Boston lawyer and journalist James Barron wrote that the Watergate break-in may well have been an attempt to steal documents from Democratic Party headquarters showing that Nixon had taken $549,000 from the Gree...

I haven’t read every word of the GPT-4o safety card, but I’ve read a bunch of it and skimmed most of the rest. It’s fascinating. OpenAI has a fairly bad reputation around safety, but I wouldn’t be able to guess that just reading this report card, which seems thoughtful and c...

Someday soon twitter will be on this list.

Another practical use for ChatGPT. A super techy service you use decides to require 2FA but reading their instructions you realize the docs were written by someone who hates people like you. Idea! Ask ChatGPT to translate. Out come nice instructions easy to read for people like me. Turns a dismal exercise in frustration to happiness at finding another huge stress- and time-saving application for ChatGPT.

Catching up on more track and field from today. Noah Lyles has COVID. Good column about it here:

On a night that could have transformed Lyles into a legend, he instead became a throwback to a time we’ve quickly forgotten.

Sort of amazing he could run at all.

What's the best piece of advice you ever got?
