Pretty chuffed that Keith’s Law has been quoted twice on stage at this year’s #CSSday:

JavaScript should do what only JavaScript can do.

Ana has gone above and beyond to match the branding for this year’s #CSSday.

The Snooze Tabs browser add-on is a key technology I use for category 2, defending focus (and prioritizing) from my previous post (link in footer).I noted in the #indieweb informal cafe chat that "I am going to snooze the tab for a month and re-evaluate then" (about purchasin...

I installed iOS 27 on my phone, but holding off on the Mac. I don’t want to interfere with my Xcode workflow and shipping apps. Still on the waitlist for Siri AI.

This is a test page about Charles de Gaulle. It came from ChatGPT, via Claude Code.

Shohei Ohtani, a designated hitter and pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is one of the biggest superstars in baseball right now. If you’re Jose Siri on the Los Angeles Angels, you know that to get Ohtani out, you’re going to need some serious notes on an index card to score the out. The problem … Continue reading Jose Siri gets Shohei Ohtani out while using an Index Card in an MLB Baseball Game

Inspired by the Bear Blog question challenge and other blogging challenges, I thought I would make my own: the Taylor Swift question challenge. The questions are orientated more toward people who have heard a few of her songs, but, no matter whether you have listened to one...

(if you think that’s spicy, you haven’t even seen the question I put to the representative from the Ladybird browser project …alas my question wasn’t asked on stage) #CSSday

At #CSSday the Google Chrome team are asking developers “What’s missing from the web?” …I needed a few post-it notes for my answer.

A wonderful post from Federico Viticci about WWDC this year.

Amy Klobuchar and Chuck Grassley introduced an updated version of their bill today that attempts to control the anti-competitive behavior of large platforms. I asked Codex to download previous versions of the bill so I could understand the changes in the latest version. Here...

Floyd Norman will receive an honorary Oscar. From Cartoon Brew:

Norman, 90, became the first Black artist hired on a long-term basis at Walt Disney Studios in 1956. During his initial run at the studio, he worked on features including Sleeping Beauty, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone, and The Jungle Book, where he was part of Walt Disney’s story team.

I’ve blogged about Floyd a couple of times over the years. I just noticed that his blog is now showing up as “expired” on Squarespace. This is why on Micro.blog when you stop paying, we keep hosting your blog indefinitely.

More negative reaction from Salvatore Sanfilippo on X to Fable blocking certain questions:

I believe what Anthropic is doing, gating the ability to do certain harmless things like LLM research, and with incredibly sensitive filters that even medical questions are often blocked, is deeply wrong. They got open research, the Transformer, GPT2, …

Anthropic has walked back the part of this where they secretly rerouted LLM-related requests to avoid detection.

Micro.blog 4.0 is out today, our latest app for macOS. For day to day blogging, I think this is the best experience for Mac users. Here’s another screenshot of the new Categories pane.

I think I’ve gotten enough feedback about the Micro.blog beta for Mac. Going to just release it to everyone. The local AI has high requirements so won’t be widely used, maybe until macOS 27 ships, but there are lots of other good improvements.

Quoted on Simon Willison’s blog, part of an X thread from Jeremy Howard about Fable:

Anthropic has chosen the opposite of the safe path: they are allowing themselves, the current top lab, to use their top model for frontier AI research. They’ve said they’ll sabotage others who try.

The morning after a Spurs lose, my mood is low and my cynicism is high.

As thrilling as the end was for this Knicks fan, as a friend (of a Spurs fan) I empathize -- because I had the feeling you have now for most of last night's game, only to erupt in one of the greatest group sports orgasms ever.
