Kind: Notes

Man I just love it when Microsoft Office screws the pooch and I have to spend time repairing it.

Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating. John and I are going over to his brother's house to hang out and eat with the family later on, and then I'll light the menorah after we get back home.

OK it took 2 plus hours, but the beer finally made it after 2 this afternoon.

Pizza and beer for lunch. Because we can.

I haven't read through the linked paper completely yet, but uh this seems bad.

New Research Shows AI Strategically Lying

Lol there's a pile of candy in this house and there's more on the way.

Them: "We have new read-aloud voices!"

Me: "That's great, really it is. There are people using your site for whom this feature is surely helpful.

What would be even more helpful to many more people, though, is if you would work on improving the accessibility of your site by employing plain old, no-frills, semantic HTML, which would allow the largest possible number of users to use your site with less friction and frustration while at the same time requiring less work from your development team and therefore less cost to your business when it comes to both up-front work and maintenance costs."

And with that, rate limit has been exceeded for the diplomacy endpoint for the rest of 2024.

New phone is set up, and I'm waiting on things to finish syncing.

That's enough RSS feed categorization for today.

That was a huge nap, and I'm going to pay for it later when I actually try to sleep. Gotta love fucked-up sleep schedules.

It only took two years to get from "LLMs will make people's lives infinitely better" to "let's make things better for LLMs by refusing pull requests to put documentation in readable table form because LLMs can't parse tables."

It was always headed to this place, and this isn't the bottom.

All of this.

Every bit of this.

And send this to your friends who think AI is the best thing since sliced bread and the dawn of our digital redemption.

Make sure they read the whole damn thing, even if you have to force their eyes open and deprive them of caffeine until they finish reading.

Setting up a new phone is the new LAN party.

It's bitterly cold and windy outside here, so John and I decided we wanted turkey with all the trimmings for dinner. And we have very full tummies because it was way better than it had any right to be.

I really do think I've found a desktop RSS reader I love using. Now I need to rangle my indieweb folder into two separate folders, one for webdev and the other for social stuff.

Why is it that website owners feel the need to forbid access to their RSS feeds? It's not like you can't require credentials for access.
