OpenAI is once again reorganizing its executive ranks as part of its effort to unify ChatGPT and Codex into one core product experience.

On “rich guy has an opinion” journalism, i.e. “entire news stories dedicated to the otherwise unremarkable opinion of a rich person, or news stories that fold the opinions of rich people into their otherwise neutral coverage”.

The most expensive bugs in software aren’t in the code. They’re in the requirements that guide the code’s construction. That’s

The post AWS found bugs in 60% of software requirements. Its fix isn’t more AI — it’s a 50-year-old logic engine. appeared first on The New Stack.

Now four days since I appealed the Inkwell rejection. I’ve drafted a full blog post explaining all the problems I’ve run into with app review. Going to hold the post until Monday, just to give Apple a little more time.

I wish they had an outliner in Claude. I would use it. ;-)

BTW, here's the JSONL version of Scripting News. It has the same data as the RSS file, but in the format that AI apps are looking for, so I am told. I thought I'd try to kick this off by pushing an RSS flow through the pipe. It's like using the Grateful Dead to boot up podcasting. I needed something to put out on the wire and I had this feed handy.

Thinking about adding <source:inReplyTo> to the source namespace. Its value is a URL, by default, and has an optional isPermaLink attribute, a boolean, to indicate if it's not a permalink. Works just like the guid element in RSS 2.0. I will also add support for that in the FeedLand database, and flow it out through the socket interface. Actually that's pretty close to a full spec, at least in rss.land where we take simplicity seriously. ;-)

In the ancient city of Dali, I saw firsthand how RedNote has evolved from a lifestyle platform into the tool that powers the country’s tourism industry.

Hello! 8 years ago, I wrote excitedly about discovering Tailwind. At that time I really had no idea how to structure my CSS code and given the choice between a pile of complete chaos and Tailwind, I was really happy to choose Tailwind. It helped me make a lot of tiny sites! ...

This World History Timeline (2016) shows how nations, empires, and ruling groups shifted and evolved across the globe from 3000 BCE to the present. It takes a second to understand what you’re looking at — I thought it was a sort of stretched geographical map at first. Get your own here. The chart is based on Joseph Priestley’s A New Chart of History (1769): Priestley is best known for his co-discovery of oxygen. Tags: infoviz · Joseph Priestley · maps · timelines

Codex has had a section in the ChatGPT mobile app for a while, but only for the cloud version. The update this week is a rewrite (apparently in SwiftUI) and can connect to a Mac running Codex. Seems good. If you have a desktop Mac somewhere, the lines are starting to blur between Codex and OpenClaw.

The change comes as arXiv and others struggle to manage an influx of AI-generated materials masquerading as rigorous science.

This week, we discuss developers' AI woes, how the magic happens, and the Beach Boys.

Around 59,000 years ago, somewhere in the Altai Mountains of southwestern Siberia, in lands prowling with woolly rhinos and cave hyenas, a Neanderthal had a toothache. The tooth was a molar, rooted in the lower left corner of the Neanderthal's mouth, and it had begun to rot....

Early on Saturday mornings, Amy Wallace would be yanked out of bed by her big brother, David. He was determined not to miss the start of the cartoons. At their home in Urbana, Illinois, the siblings situated themselves in front of the television and waited for the color bars to turn to The Road Runner Show, David eager, impatient, full of energy. Eventually, he would splay out on the carpet and Amy would sit behind him on the couch. More than 50 years later, Amy is still haunted by the sensory experience of that couch. It was pea-green and scratchy, yet she dutifully—and gladly—sat there as part of their sibling ritual.  

Their mother, Sally Foster, described the scene this way: Amy spent her mornings watching David watch TV. But that’s not quite right.
