Sunday, April 6, 2025 I wonder when ChatGPT or Claude.ai will compete with Wikipedia. I think Wikipedia is great but it has always had a weakness in that it can be manipulated to tell a story from a very limited point of view. For example the RSS page has a long section explaining the benefits of Atom. What I like about the AI versions of the basic history of things is that it isn't so easily manipulated. I talked about this with Claude, and asked it to write up a proposal for ClaudeWiki , a Wikipedia workalike, not too expensive to run, make it part of a user's $20 per month subscription. I think it would be useful, if only as a demo how Wikipedia itself might improve its service. # A search for WordPress on this blog tells an interesting story. # If I were designing a social network, I would implement replies differently. When you reply to a post, only the person who wrote the post sees it. If they want they can RT it. The way it works now on all twitter-l...

Saturday, April 5, 2025 I finally looked at my nest egg and was shocked to see the new number. Even worse that the dollars in the account will buy even less as the US dollar loses its value as the flight to safety currency. It's not a big surprise as the US behaves like a drunk Dunning-Kruger deluded schoolyard bully. What is amazing, if you think about it, is that we aren't having an emergency impeachment and trial to get him out of there. That could actually restore a bit of confidence of the outside world, showing that the power in the US is more with the people than it has been for a long time. Maybe our would-be overlords are scared too at what their idea has unleashed. Even if Trump weren't so inept, eventually whoever you choose as the monarch, they're going to behave like this. Inevitable. We could have a revolution right now, fix this, and set the country on the right course. We could do it. I believe we could. # And btw it could be worse ....

Friday, April 4, 2025 How Bluesky hooks up via RSS into a powerful news system. # Bluesky is centralized , version 2. I wasn't satisfied with the blog post I wrote in March. I felt it was poorly organized and hard to understand, so I edited it, to get it down to its essential elements, and at the end explain why it's so important to get this right. Basically, by trying to be the universe, Bluesky is cutting off easy connections that can be made with other networks, make the system work better for communication, and at least deliver some of the freedom we all want. They've been very successful, and deserve to profit from that, but recognize it plays a larger role today than just as a business, so let's spread it out so it's harder to shut it down. This is a real concern, not just a nice-to-have thing. # ChatGPT colorized the photo of my grandfather on his tribute site . # Just tried an experiment , I asked ChatGPT to review ActivityPub re Ru...

Thursday, April 3, 2025 We're doing some research into the origins of my family in Germany, learning a lot. # Journalists still sanewashing # They're still sanewashing Trump. # Example. Just listened to Brian Lehrer, a news interview and call-in show on WNYC, which I revere, for many reasons. Lehrer is smart, and doesn't dumb things down for his audience. He usually asks the question I'm dying to hear the answer to, which most reporters don't think of or won't ask. # On the March 27 they had a discussion about Trump's assault on Columbia University, which has now been extended to Harvard and Princeton. In all of them, the main issue is antisemitism at these universities. # Never in the discussion did they raise this question -- # Do we believe that Trump cares about antisemitism? # And if he did, there are much bigger antisemites who are much more powerful and much closer to Trump (who is an obvious antisemi...

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 Cory Booker asked the right question . "Where does the Constitution live? On paper or in our hearts?" Every living American was raised under the Bill of Rights. That's different from other countries which have long traditions of autocracies. Fascism on a mass scale will have a harder time taking root in this country. Joe Rogan said what Trump is doing is wrong. He knows he has the right to say that. Setting a fine example. It will be hard to suppress that. # Gambling and sports don't mix for me. I want a version of games without the gambling. I don't know how parents can let their kids watch games with all the gambling ads. # Linkblog items for the day.

Read this on my blog Hey! The Mastering Nuxt launch has been going well! We added a bunch of new lessons yesterday, with more coming weekly until the course is finished.
