Sunday, July 27, 2025 One of my favorite features in the newest version of Bingeworthy is that it can generate a ChatGPT review of a program. Screen shot . I wouldn't have opened this up before because of that would let in the weirdness of the internets. This way we can find out what people thought, as sanitized by ChatGPT. BTW do you think the root of sanitized is sane? As the root of ignorant is ignore? Of course our friend has the answer. One is and the other isn't. # A Bingeworthy Sunday # I wasn't planning on this, but there was a report that there was a problem with BingeWorthy , looked into it and was able to fix it. # Source of problem: When I added a feature that lets you ask ChatGPT to review the program you're looking at, I broke the ability to add a new program to the database. It took about 15 minutes to track down and verify and another few minutes to fix -- and now that important function works again. # As lo...

Saturday, July 26, 2025 If you had asked a mathematician for advice on the Supreme Court ruling that money is speech, it was a totally foreseeable outcome that money would overwhelm speech, that the only speech would be money.

Friday, July 25, 2025 Like Christmas in July # I've rarely been this happy to receive a new feature. # I have a plan of course. I'll let you know how it goes! :-) # I just got Agent Mode in ChatGPT. 🎉 # Modernizing my sound system # I got tired of my old sound system, too many wires, a big receiver whose functions I never used, all designed long before the 4-year-old 65-inch OLED screen on top of it all, so I downscaled to a Sony soundbar , figured that was as simple as you could get, for $300, thinking of it as an experiment. # I liked it but then I thought to ask ChatGPT a question I've had for a while. I want a small amp designed for today's music and video, and went through a bunch of options and came up with the WiiM Home amp . No speakers, unlike the soundbar, but hooks up to the TV via the ARC connector, and I have plenty of old speakers to try out in this configuration. # I got it yesterda...

Thursday, July 24, 2025 BTW, this business with Trump and the Fed is almost exactly what I wanted Obama to do with Garland when McConnell refused to hold hearings. Walk him over to the Supreme Court, unlock his office, swear him in and get back to work. Sometimes you just do it. The Dems weren't pragmatic that way. # When trying to "work" with ChatGPT, realize that it's mistakes could be much worse than you could possibly imagine. It could be leading you down a blind alley. You must always consider how full of shit it is. It may not just be making things up, but it could not understand something very basic about what you're doing. There's no limit to the ways it can be wrong. And you can waste whole programming sessions chasing a solution where none could possibly every under any circumstances be found. The level of bullshit is sometimes hard to fathom. # You can see from this Bluesky post that I do copy-edit my linkblog items, but ...

Wednesday, July 23, 2025 Question . If you have to choose between Google's web browser or one from your favorite AI company, which would you go with? Also yes -- Google is destroying the web, as is ChatGPT and Claude etc. Because the people who tried to capture flow using SEO made you wade through mountains of garbage before you got the info you were coming there for, if you ever got it. It's the same thing with clicking links in Twitter. If instead, they had focus on providing a product that made people happy and built respect for theri brand, they'd still have a seat at the table. It's too late to complain, you had a chance to view your efforts as a business. But there's still plenty of potential for the web, esp if developers get imaginative in how to use the new browser platforms. I don't imagine Google's going to rock and roll too much with Chrome, but maybe they will. # Trump says he's going to give AI companies freedom exce...

​ ​ Read this on my blog Hey! I hope you're enjoying your summer (or winter!). Now that Mastering Nuxt: Full Stack Unleashed is finally complete, I've started working on my next course: Advanced Reactivity in Vue It will cover aspects of watchers, computed, refs, and deeper parts of Vue's reactivity system you probably have never worked with before. I'll share progress updates as I work on it! Since Mastering Nuxt is now finished, the early access discount will be expiring at the end of July! So you have just about a week to grab it before the price goes up. This week I've been re-recording some lessons and making sure it's fully up-to-date, a few things (like Nuxt 4) have changed since I did the recordings. We plan to keep this always up-to-date going forward. We'll also be creating new courses on other Nuxt topics so you can deepen your Nuxt learning even more. Go here to get Mastering Nuxt before the...

Tuesday, July 22, 2025 I think I figured out why the AI companies want to do web browsers. It's so that they can create an application development platform for people who want to write apps that run inside a new environment where the OS is a LLM. Lots of interesting possibilities. Imagine how the OS API might work. You could restructure a database by explaining in English how you want it restructured. In the freaking code. Could we bury Algol-like languages the same way we buried assembly and machine languages? Do we have the courage to imagine such things? # "You're an important caller," the machine lied, as if it were human. # New WordLand release, v0.5.24 , fixes a problem in previous release that kept the Markdown icon from appearing in some user's icon bars. # O Journos! # I hate it when journos say the Dems are in trouble, or hopeless or whatever, it shows how poisoned their point of view is. # When people are fed ...
