WordLand 0.5.16 -- Rounding out the linkblogging features. #
Software internally is mostly pipes connected to other pipes, each adding a specific quality to whatever passes through it. If you have nice standards for what you send through the pipes, you can do more of what you imagine. This is called orthogonality. Factoring is when you notice a repeating pattern, give it a name, and a set of things you can do to it, those would be names of pipes. I have to ask ChatGPT what it thinks about this, but I am also asking my human friends. BTW I expect this seems so natural because our minds probably work that way too, internally, below our conscious awareness. #
Linkblog items for the day
In some docs I wrote today: "I recommend asking ChatGPT or another AI chatbot to walk you through the process." It would be different depending on what kind of device you're using, better to let the bot write custom docs. -- this.how.
