MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. (The joke is the S in MCP stands for security, but that’s another post.) They say to think of it like “like a USB-C port for AI applications” because it allows interoperability between AI chatbots and other tools. Here’s some of the MCP stuff happening across the Automattic solar … Continue reading MCP Everywhere →

I recently wrote about Mark Russinovich, Microsoft’s Azure CTO, talking about how Rust code is shipping in Windows, but I

BULLETIN: SEASON 4 EPISODE 16, COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN In an Oval Office news briefing crazy even by his standards, Trump answered a question about the FCC blackmailing of ABC over Charlie Kirk by changing the topic to himself, making up a statistic that "94, 95, 96, ...

In a chaotic meeting, ACIP voted not to recommend a prescription requirement for Covid-19 vaccines. Some panelists seemed unaware of the point of the meeting, while others went on strange tangents.

Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

Highly recommend today's Bill Simmons podcast where he talks about the Jimmy Kimmel situation. His perspective is very good, he says Kimmel doesn't need ABC. And I believe him.

There should be a ChatGPT "personality" for the chatbot. I'd like to start with a black lab. When I say "good work" that reinforces that what it did should be a priority. If I say that and give it a treat (by typing "treat") that should get double emphasis. I might like it better if I could train it. I don't mind a little enthusiasm, but I want it to respond to me with respect.

I'm going to call it social web not open social web. You don't need the "open" part. The web is open. It's like saying "wet water."

In the week since Charlie Kirk’s death, public officials including Vice President JD Vance and Attorney General Pam Bondi have called for Kirk’s critics to face consequences. People seen as celebrating his killing online have lost their jobs or faced harassment.  That c...

Election day in Ireland is a month away. So the major presidential candidates appeared this week at the National Ploughing Championships, the equivalent of going to the Iowa State Fair to bolster bumpkin bona fides. Jim Gavin, who parlayed his role as the manager of Dublin’s...

Cross-posted from my daveverse site. I hadn’t considered the point of view of people who worked at Netscape when it disappeared just as RSS 0.9.1 was being adopted by the blogosphere in 1999. We did try to get in touch with them, even when they didn’t work there, but no one...

Kelsey Mitchell was drafted to the Indiana Fever in 2018. She left Ohio State as the Big Ten conference’s all-time leading scorer and the NCAA leader in career made threes, records that stood until a certain future teammate showed up. In the WNBA, Mitchell's scoring numbers ...

There are a number of reasons why I will not reveal how many Hallmark movies I've seen, and only one of them is that I myself have tried very hard to avoid knowing the precise number. Whatever it is, that number is surely more than I could bear to look in the face. Even acco...

The rattle of a train moving in the quiet late night wouldn’t be the best sleep one could get but youth and excitement forgive. We had bunks to sleep in, which is far better than what most train infrastructure offered at the time. My travel mates, usually my cousin and friend, would get up periodically to walk, pee, or smoke. I don’t smoke, but I would accompany them as an excuse to chat in that small temporal space where the bathrooms and exits are in-between cars.

If you would’ve told me at the summer break that the Utah Royals, Chicago Stars, and Houston Dash would each earn more points in next the seven matchweeks than the Orlando Pride or the San Diego Wave—hell, even if you told me they’d earn more points combined than either team...

What I like about watching A'ja Wilson operate is how simple she makes the game look. Not easy, but simple, as she applies basic principles of footwork and positioning at the highest possible level to shred elite defenses, never really needing to do anything more complicated...
