- Comment on Anthropic Revokes OpenAI's Access to Claude 2 days ago:
Last week I asked ChatGPT for a list of coding AI agents and what was unique about each one, just to see what was out there. It spewed out a whole bunch, including a few that weren’t real agents, just tools like static code analyzers.
Funny enough, Claude Code wasn’t on the list. I had to ask explicitly “what about Claude Code?” Only then it generated a separate list with some overlap, also with irrelevant tools, that included Claude.
Laughed at how petty it was. Like Bing search not returning anything with Google in the name.

I backed all their original Kickstarters. After they announced the revival, I dug them up. Only one would charge. Wonder if their new app will be backward compatible with the old watches.

- Comment on LG OLED TV is changing inputs automatically. 2 weeks ago:
This could be a total longshot, but if you have a set of devices with HDMI cables and CEC enabled, if a cable fails or a new device comes in that isn’t doing proper termination, it can affect the whole network.
Maybe try unplugging all devices, restarting the TV, then adding them back one by one and see if it still happens.
It can totally be a hardware or firmware issue on the TV side, but at least, this is a cheap and easy test.

There was a core flaw in the whole CPM model. This means the web has to find a different way to fund itself.
Sadly, it will cause a lot of pain, and it’s not clear what will be next.
- Comment on Cloudflare wants Google to change its AI search crawling. Google likely won’t. 3 weeks ago:
Totally understandable.
If scanning to help send traffic to your website, that’s cool. If scanning to generate summaries that won’t send any traffic your way. No bueno.
Ultimately, it should be whatever most benefits users.

- Comment on I wanted to do this for few years... 4 weeks ago:
A friend of the family from Hungary used to bring out home-made palinka in small 7Up bottles to sneak them past customs. He said they would drink a few shots before and after every meal. Said that was how Hungarians became the highest per-capita meat-eating country in Europe.
I just remember it burning all the way down. The recipe I mentioned was more of a sweet liqueur and with lower risk of near-fatal distillation mishaps.
Will have to look into maceration. Thanks for the tip!

My late-father once told me about a recipe he used when he was young, passed down to him by his old uncle.
Got a bunch of black plums (but he said any fruit could be used). Washed them, then put them whole in a big, glass jar with a screw top lid. The fruit was layered with sugar. Lots of sugar. Closed the lid and left it all out in the sun for a month. It fermented and turned into mush.
Brought it in and sifted out the solids. Left a lot of pulp. Mixed it with plain vodka and decanted it into smaller dark bottles with clip tops. Aged it for six months in the dark. After that, kept it in the freezer. 10+ years later, it still tasted amazing.
This post is inspiring me to try again. Thinking peach this time.

Absolute horseshit. Bulbs don’t have microphones. If they did, any junior security hacker could sniff out the traffic and post about it for cred.
The article quickly pivots to TP-Link and other devices exposing certificates. That has nothing to do with surveillance and everything to do with incompetent programming. Then it swings over to Matter and makes a bunch of incorrect assertion I don’t even care to correct. Also, all the links are to articles on the same site, every single one of which is easily refutable crap.
Yes, there are privacy tradeoffs with connected devices, but this article is nothing but hot clickbait garbage.

We shouldn’t go all knee-jerk on this one. It’s a solid first pass at allowing copyright owners to assert control over their own creations and getting paid for their work.

ILL is the older system, where you make the request to the library and they go try to find it.
There’s a newer “Link+” service where you can do the search yourself and request delivery to specific branches. Supported by a lot of member libraries, for example: sfpl.libanswers.com/faq/103121
In our library system, they don’t put Link+ holds with normal holds. You have to go ask someone to look. We get an email that it’s arrived and we have 3 days to pick it up.
