The View From RSS via Caroline Crampton
I read a lot on the web. I almost never look at websites, though. I consume almost everything through an RSS reader. As AI reshapes the way online information is organised and consumed, it increasingly feels like I'm behind the scenes, watching the performance from the wings rather than seeing it from the front as intended. I thought I'd tell you why I do this and what it looks like.

What AI Models for War Actually Look Like
While companies like Anthropic debate limits on military uses of AI, Smack Technologies is training models to plan battlefield operations.
Jeff Johnson notes that different types of windows on macOS Tahoe have different corner radiuses.
If this isn’t the stupidest user interface “feature” ever invented, I don’t know what is. The Mac used to be famous for consistency; now it’s becoming infamous for inconsistency.
We're having a problem with one of the servers, spending pretty much all day trying to learn about the problem. It means a bunch of services aren't working. Will keep the blog updated, assuming that works. ;-)
★ Thoughts and Observations on the MacBook Neo
The MacBook Neo is the first major new Mac aimed at the consumer market in the Apple Silicon era. It’s meant to make a dent — perhaps a minuscule dent in the universe, but a big dent in the Mac’s share of the overall PC market.

Timothy Snyder on strongmen. “Once you accept that Trump is strong, you are accepting that you are weaker than Trump. And once you accept the strongman form of politics, you no longer have recourse to laws, or norms, or even basic ideas of decency.”
De La Soul’s Tiny Desk Concert
Ok, you know this is going to be a good one: De La Soul plays a Tiny Desk Concert.
The humor of De La Soul has always been one of its calling cards. When DJ Maseo tells the Tiny Desk crowd, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a new group called De La Soul,” he means it as a joke. But, in so many ways, one of the most influential groups in hip-hop is new: the duties have been reassessed, the focus has shifted and the newness of The Plugs is laid plain here at the Tiny Desk.
Here’s the setlist:
YUHDONTSTOP
Will Be
Much More
Stakes is High
Sunny Storms
Different World
Breakadawn
Pony Ride
A Quick 16 for Mama
Me Myself and I
Feel free to dance at your desk or in your kitchen or wherever you’re listening.
