NetNewsWire Status

I find this inspiring. Brent Simmons retired a year ago, and his retirement project is making one piece of software really, really good - free from any commercial pressure.

The software is NetNewsWire, first released in 2002 and made open source in 2018. I've been using it on Mac and iPhone for several years now and I'm finding it indispensable.

Today, there are only remains of what were once these massive baths constructed by self made millionaire Adolph Sutro in San Francisco. 

This episode is part of our ongoing coverage of the soccer world championship. In each episode, we take you beyond the stadium, and to a nearby wonder that’s off the beaten track.

Release: datasette-tailscale 0.1a0

A very experimental alpha plugin which lets you do this:

datasette tailscale mydata.db \
  --ts-authkey tskey-auth-xxxx --ts-hostname datasette-preview

This starts a localhost Datasette server with a Tailscale sidecar that connects it to your Tailnet, such that http://datasette-preview/ serves Datasette.

It's using the Python bindings for the experimental tailscale-rs library. I filed an issue asking if there's a cleaner way of setting up the proxy mechanism.

Is this the sloppiest AI slop video of all time? The AI-generated voiceover (at ~6:45) gets tripped up saying “what WWE” and basically sings Daisy Bell for more than 10 minutes until someone kicks the server.

If I lived in LA, I would go to this concert at the Hollywood Bowl: Music From the Films of Wes Anderson. “Over three nights, musicians including Beck, Jenny Lewis, Jackson Browne, and Mothersbaugh himself perform favorite songs, scores…”

"A Rio Grande Valley murder case was botched and evidence lost by local police and by Texas Rangers. Will anyone ever be held responsible?"

Disclosure Day surely sets a world record for the number of Spielberg Faces.

In this modified scene from Breaking Bad, Walter White’s hat grows in proportion to his ego. YT commenter: “He was just brimming with confidence.” Could be time for a BB rewatch. (via @ernie.tedium.co)

I can 100% attest to the fact that Qwen3.6-27B is a very capable local model for coding tasks. Over the last month and a half I've been using it almost daily, either on my M2 Ultra or on my RTX 5090 box. I use it for small mundane tasks at ggml-org - nothing really impressive, but definitely a helpful tool for a maintainer. I think I would be using it much more, if I didn't have to spend a lot of my time on reviewing PRs. Currently, I have a very lightweight harness - the pi agent with everything stripped (pi -nc --offline) and a short system prompt to align it a bit with my style.

“If Platner’s past rhetoric about and treatment of women are the natural price of running a working class candidate, isn’t the implication that working class men by nature mistreat the women in their lives?”
