Why Walz was the perfect choice

Lakoff talks about the Nurturing Mother and the Strict Father as models for Democrats and Republicans respectively, and how the Dems never got this, and never campaigned accordingly. Now they're doing it. Owning the nuturing mother mode, but also the Protective Father, tough...

Old white dudes with sweet hearts

At first I didn't like White Dudes for Harris but now I get it.

I saw a guy who'd normally I'd think of as a MAGA, in the crowd behind Kamala yesterday while she spoke, I thought yeah us old white dudes need permission to have sweet hearts. It's time for us to be happy too. Why the f not.

This picture is just right.

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.

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. 🍿

The Campaign Moment: Another “Squad” loss and Walz’s record

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/the-campaign-moment--another-squad-loss-and-walzs-record/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

Post Reports co-host Martine Powers sits down with senior political reporter Aaron Blake and Marianna Sotomayor, a congressional reporter covering the House of Representatives, to talk about House Democrats’ enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris’s VP pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz – a former member of Congress himself. They also discuss takeaways from the primary loss of Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Walz’s military and governance record, and former president Donald Trump’s campaign event slowdown. 

Today’s show was produced by Laura Benshoff. It was edited by Allison Michaels, Lucy Perkins and Mary Jo Murphy and mixed by Rennie Svirnovskiy. Thanks also to Trinity Webster-Bass.

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.

My first ChatGPT app

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. 😄

OpenAI model safety, societal impact

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...
