Rude words
They spent the lesson looking up rude words in the dictionary. But something was wrong. A small agricultural holding. The part of the leg that extends from the knee to the ankle. Sticky or claggy dirt. Not one of them was rude at all. They had been tricked. They would

If Claude were human it would learn from you even if they didn't record what it learned in a notebook, two or three times and they would remember. Not so with Claude. If it isn't written down it will not remember it. Its mind doesn't have memory. It remembers things by writing them in a markdown file. It's like the movie Memento, where the main character tatoos the info he needs on his body. And then proceeds to misunderstand it. Claude is just like that.
Just now, to Claude: "amazing how we get lost in the weeds, that's why you have cut way down on the verbiage. i am a human -- you can absorb all that info in an instant. my brain does not work that way."

Now that the basketball is over, can we ask why the San Antonio arena played the cartoon music while introducing the Knicks. I was surprised they did it again in Game 5 considering the butt-kicking they got in Game 4
I'm creating a new way to do messaging, a network that only understands RSS feeds for incoming and outgoing messages. The only API you'll need to subscribe is a feed reader. The idea is to show developers how to do it so a thousand flowers can bloom. It's a lot easier to create these things if you're modest in the features you support, at least at first, and you don't try to control the users. There is no business model here, other than the satisfaction of making sure everyone knows what a social system looks like made only out of the features of the web, and every part replaceable.
An example of the latest version of the library generator, which is of course just a script. Note that there's a disclosure at the bottom of the page where it says how and why it was created, and then lists the exact prompt that ChatGPT responded to. And I didn't write the prompt, Claude did. I think that pretty much assures I kept my own opinion to myself.
What 'RSS feeds' means
Often when I use the term RSS feeds it will link to this page.
In the coming weeks and months I'm going to talk a lot about RSS feeds. I want to be clear, that it is a short hand for RSS, Atom and RDF. It makes the writing flow better, and it gives me a place to provide the technical details for people who need them.
We use the Feedparser package to read the feeds, so basically we support the same feed formats they do.
Request for Claude, please add a close box to this message box. I wasn't using the new model. Once is enough for this message.
Good morning sports fans! Going to the Knicks parade in NYC on Thurs? Parade starts at 10AM at Battery Park, goes up Broadway through Canyon of Heroes, concluding at City Hall.

Weekly Wrap Up 114
My weekly blog post. Links this week include an encyclopedia of all things to do with herring, an article on why old school sites like Ian's Shoelace Site are disappearing from the web and an interactive map of lighthouses (and beacons and minor lights) of the northern seas. I had some more postcard club mail come in and I did some get out the vote postcarding of my own. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.

Daisy chain
I was still wearing the daisy chain, and somehow I knew that when it broke I would too. But days in the sun had dried the stems until they were stiff and brittle. We did not have long left. Unless I lay down in the mud to be preserved, we
