👁️ Asides
Throw way thoughts. Sometimes I wonder why I felt it was worth posting when I did. Other times even I can’t work out what I was trying to say.
👁️ That moment when you open a blog post and you need to look up 4 words just in the first sentence.
👁️ There’s a ‘light tech’ writer out there that I used to follow but eventually stopped because the style and topics got so annoying. This morning a number of people seemed to be referencing one of his posts so I went to look. #JustAsAnnoying. It’s probably me. I know it’s me.
👁️🏗️💡Running some very large OPML imports into NetNewsWire recently as we are doing some testing - gotta say that the synching improvements that @brentsimmons recently added are definitely making a difference.
One More thing please: Nested folders and/or tags (as @dave uses in Feedland) 💗
👁️ I wonder how many ‘foreign national Anthropic employees’ were involved in the creation of Mythos?
👁️ Golden Gate has an associated metaphor from John C. Frémont, who ‘compared the entrance to San Francisco Bay with the Golden Horn in Istanbul and described it as a “golden gate” to Pacific trade’.
Can’t help thinking that 🍎 are playing that metaphor as applied to new worlds opening …
👁️ A post arriving via the new micro.blog beta that @manton just dropped. I am not a natural ‘grab the beta’ kinda guy - but for this I make an exception. Advance word suggests that it might include a few things I have been looking for … none of which included ‘a local AI model’ - but having just installed a few over the weekend - sure … why not … let’s have a party 🥳
All good - all nice - all working - nicely done sir.
One side request if you are listening Manton … i very much like the categories appearing on the add post screen. Any chance they could be listed as a column on the side rather than the bottom. Bottom works fine for a few categories - close to impossible if you have a sickness like mine.
There’s something about book spines .. you generally tilt your head one way and all the titles are readable - because the title on the spine starts at the top and goes to the bottom. BUT - every now and then one seems to slip through - and as you looking at the shelf - you have to crick in the opposite direction.
This came to mind just now when I saw this …
👁️ Has ‘OTD’ gone away as a plugin? Or was it only ever on GitHub? Either way, cant find it. Different name? Asking for a friend.
👁️ Any person in the USA with something like a 401K will shortly be an owner of SpaceX. I predict that on the other side of the IPO, any noise from nay sayers about the company will be used by the Muskrat as proof that they are UN-American and working against the good people of the nation.
👁️ Vinod Khosla talking with Sam Harris. Only the free bit - so maybe he changes his tack after the 15 minute mark. But I doubt it. Yeah Nah.
👁️ Corporate Governance is apparently all the rage. Not sure why - it seems to be as toothless as the Democrats on the Hill.
