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.

AI critics are right about the industry’s challenges — but they risk missing the larger story

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.

It’s a central premise of the American dream: If you’re willing to work hard, you’ll be able to make a living and build a better life for your children. But what if working hard isn’t enough to get ahead — or even to ensure your family’s basic financial stability? Two Amer...

Wow. I was losing my mind when USA came back and took the lead. Steph Curry doing his thing. Huge points late from Embiid, KD. Let’s go! 🏀

Worried about USA vs. Serbia. There was a good run in the 3rd quarter but it’s now like it didn’t happen. Everything going in for Serbia, lucky bounces, second-chance points. 🏀

I guess I was wrong about the topic of Trump’s press conference. There was no topic or focus, just a bunch of random gripes. I had it on in the background because apparently I hate happiness. He makes so many ludicrous statements, it’s almost funny but also tragic and a waste of time. 🇺🇸

I recorded a short video as a status update on the new web-based text editor for Micro.blog that I’ve been working on. Finally on a path that feels like it’s going to work and be a big improvement, while retaining the Markdown-centered approach that we’ve always used.

The Performa series at 512 Pixels continues, today arriving at the Quadra 605, which was my first color Mac. I loved that dumb underpowered computer, from playing Myst and programming, to the crashes when apps expected an FPU.

New rules and fees from Apple today for the EU. It’s getting ridiculous. This page has the fees and it might as well be a spreadsheet.

Is waiving the CTF for iPad apps new? I don’t rememberer that. But paying Apple for external payments is still there, still a no-go for me.
