I love the piece Cory Doctorow just posted, but he says something that follows a pattern, the way journalists can say something's dead because they heard it as conventional wisdom. Development around RSS has never "lain dormant." That's a perception not reality. Let's stop...

Started watching House of Guinness. Really like the look of the show. Good so far. 🍺

OpenAI delays adult mode:

We still believe in the principle of treating adults like adults, but getting the experience right will take more time.

A good and fairly obvious call, this was a distraction for a company that is pulled in too many different directions. GPT-5.4 released last week is a great model, but it’s lost in the noise.

OpenAI has an infrastructure advantage and so should be focusing almost everything on model thinking quality, background agents like Pulse that require enormous compute, and the upcoming device from Jony Ive. A new device with a good brand would help too.

Ratcheteer DX looks fun. I saw it was produced by Panic but didn’t realize until now that Shaun Inman worked on it. Very cool… Going to get it for Switch but feel like it should be played on a Game Boy Advance. 🕹️

Claude is not doing well today, seriously not working well, think it must be they're coping with a large influx of new users.

I love a song that can stand up to the simplest possible presentation. The words: I, I miss that feeling– the feeling of somebody close I, I crave that feeling– the feeling that I miss the most Empathy is part of me and everything that comes with it is first class I’m riding in economy...

I was looking forward to Season 4 of Industry, but found the first episode unwatchable. Lots of yelling. New characters angry and arguing about nothing, dramatic music mocks the awful writing and acting. Does it get better? Reviewers loved it. I've seen this before. Previous seasons were great, so the next season automatically must be great too.

I ended a post with the following in 2007. I am eggs of all kinds. I am the Chrome Dinette. And you are my sofa. Those are lyrics from a Frank Zappa song. Translated from German. It is, of course, absurdist. Ich bin Eier aller Arten. Ich bin der Chrome Dinette. Und du bist mein...

Yet another great Spurs win, coming back in the 4th quarter down a bunch. This team is unique. They just get it done. 🏀

Watched: Hamnet. Really great. Won’t ever see Hamlet the same way again. 🍿

I remember liking the first three seasons of Industry on HBO, so I just watched them again. It's a Succession clone, in a way, not exactly the same story, but the same type of story. I waited until the final episode of Season 4 had aired to start at the beginning. So now I'l...

Mastodon: Good Mastodon accounts to follow for news?

The video was posted on Nov 18 last year. None of the news stories I found said what the date was or provided a link to the video.

Remember when, just weeks ago, the Dems told the military that they must not obey illegal orders. We passed that red line when they obeyed orders to start a war that had not been declared by Congress.

If you have an X account, esp if you have a lot of followers, please RT this post. I'd like to get my real account back. Thanks for your help.

Eventually we’re going to have OpenClaw-like assistants that can filter or prioritize emails and calls, but for now I wish there was some kind of voicemail scripting. If a voicemail transcript contains “$”, delete it.
