Just saw this little nugget in an llm's thinking block: "I should be honest: ..." 😳 Uh, yes, you should be honest!! Why would that even be optional?!
"Organize code by what it does, not what it is" has always been my preference. Love seeing someone say it so well ❤️ https://mact.me/8i
I get super pumped when I solve a "very tricky" NYT Connections puzzle without mistakes 💪 but it's really ego-crushing when I barely can solve a "straightforward" puzzle 😅

Realizing that NYT Connections game only exists because English is so difficult a language that even very intelligent people find it challenging to know what words mean when there are no contextual clues. Some people weirdly find that entertaining ✋ but I can imagine it being really frustrating 😅
If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Jimmy is awesome! He's an independent Apple tech support guru based in SF, but he visits DC regularly (and offers remote support, too). Not only does he know everything - I had no idea I could take my screenshots as JPEGs - he's incredibly nice and he shares gorgeous photos in his newsletter.

People are lonelier than ever, so here is a robot you can talk to. It won't make you less lonely but it will drive you insane. That will be five thousand dollars.
Not only is this not crazy, this is absolutely brilliant! "Hippie love" might actually be the answer we've been searching for to the question of how on earth to counter the divisive, hate-filled attacks by the ultra-wealthy on American society that brought us to this point. Unite behind love! ❤️☮️
Dave Winer@scripting.com · last yr.You're going to think this is crazy, but maybe we should do what the hippie kids did in the 60s and 70s, giving flowers to the new cops in DC. Start off saying we don't blame you, we'll give you the benefit of the doubt, let's all be Americans and remember what that means.
