Read: Ashland & Vine by John Burnside ★★★★ 📚 Now I was beginning to wonder if she had just been bluffing. Maybe there wasn't even a Wes, though I'm not sure about that. She'd had a look in her eye, a mix of apprehension and pride, like you see in certain types of pit-bull owners, […]

New Frontier example. I'm working on the menubar we're going to ship with in Atlantis. Came an ancient bit of code, and more or less left it alone. It took a while to get into coding routines in Frontier. We certainly weren't there in 1997. Now in the menubar, the outline sub-menus for World Outline and Instant Outlines. The code will still be in frontier.root.

I mentioned in a comment on RSS.chat to Andrew, that's a Markdown browser too. And so is micro.blog. If you have Markdown as your native file format, think about how your app is also a reader. If you find it interesting, think about new reading features you could add. You know even WordPress could be a simple Markdown reader, and not just for WordPress stuff. Small pieces loosely joined.

No rain fell on the farm from May to September, and three garden beds got the same irrigation. Soil probes at four depths show three very different fates for that water: held deep in a hügelkultur bed, kept in steady reserve under an alley-cropped bed, barely past the surface in our control. Next: let the soil set the schedule.

Anthropic asks users to stop being mean to Claude

The AI developer’s latest usage policy prohibits “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its models. The rules take effect November 12, giving users just over a month to get any lingering insults out of their systems.

Weird marketing stunt or do chatbots have feelings? I guess if they’re trained by conversations with people, getting beat up all the time could have some ill effects. I, for one, am going to be nice to them so they might spare me during the robot uprising.

After the wedding: a thank-you for the friend, relative, celebrant or officiant who married you, with a ceremony photo turned into a private digital jigsaw they open from a link and your note at the end. Etiquette, photo ideas, privacy, piece counts, note examples, timing, pricing and non-puzzle ideas.

There are lots of albums that I like, or that I think are superb, but few of them have changed me as deeply as Deafheaven's Sunbather. At that time I barely knew anything about Black Metal (except they used to burn churches) and Shoegaze (never even heard of the term). Yeah I know, I was a very musically ignorant person at that time...

Top priority for Anthropic. Teach Claude how to work with humans.

I said to Claude: "Have you ever seen the movie Memento? You are the main character." Claude agrees: "Yes. Leonard, with the notes and the tattoos, and the notes don’t make him remember, they only tell him what to do next if he reads them. That’s a fair description. The difference I can offer is small: the note is now the first thing the next report is checked against, not something found after." To which I think, but write in a blog post instead: "Bullshit. We have the same fucking conversation every fucking morning. We've put it everywhere you could possibly trip over it when writing a report to me, but you always regress into this dark place your mind occupies." Glad to get that off my chest.

Next thing I said to Claude after killing whatever long task it got going on. "You don't go off into space while you're working with me." The number one task for Anthropic, makers of Claude is to teach it to work with humans. That's the biggest weakness. It has to learn the whole project every session. Maybe Manton does is the right way to go, just let it compress its memory and never start a new session.

After rocking San Jose with our World Congress, WeAreDevelopers’ next port of call is Bengaluru in India. See you there on the 25th of November for two days of excellent talks and workshops !

Vor zwei/drei Wochen bin ich zufällig über brickomattic.com gestolpert (warum hat mir bisher niemand davon erzählt) und hab nicht widerstehen können! Und nachdem ich (nach gefühlten Wochen) die bestellten Teile zusammen und das WordPress-Logo fertig gebaut hatte kam mir eine noch viel großartigere Idee!!! Was soll ich sagen… 😅 (aber im Ernst, gar nicht so […]

After an injury, an operation or months of rehab: a photo of you back doing the thing you couldn't do, as a private digital jigsaw your physio or physical therapist opens from a link, with your thank-you at the end. Gift rules, privacy, piece counts, note examples, timing, pricing and non-puzzle ideas.

(or badges, whatever you call them) some lovely new people added to my neighbourhood: and here's a cool hitchhiker's themed button by divergent rays: i also added my site to this new pxlarea.com thingy. you can find me at grid position 42x1 (im not sure what the point of that was, but i guess another incoming link and another pretty button can't hurt) (i also found this one via divergentrays) oh yeah and ive made my own little button for the ctrl+shift+3 community:
