🆕 blog! “Book Review: If We Cannot Go at the Speed of Light by Kim Choyeop”
★★☆☆☆

Short stories offer you the chance to dip briefly into a world and then skip out so there's not much time for development; just straight in to the plot and off we go. But this is all exposition and very little action. Rather than let the plots develop…

Book Review: If We Cannot Go at the Speed of Light by Kim Choyeop

Short stories offer you the chance to dip briefly into a world and then skip out so there's not much time for development; just straight in to the plot and off we go. But this is all exposition and very little action. Rather than let the plots develop naturally, there are just vast passages of infodumping. I'm sad to say this is a rather dreary and insipid collection of stories. Some of the…

I think I have a genuine need for an #LLM. Can someone tell me if this is possible?

@openbenches contains ~40k text inscriptions.

Someone wants to know how many are dedicated to men, how many to women.

"To Grandma Sylvia" is obvious.
"To R Smith" is not.

Could an AI give a rough estimate of the gender of a subject?

Could it ignore text relating to who the inscription is from? "To Granny from Dave and Alice".

What would be the most accurate / cheapest / fastest / easiest tool to work with?

📢 @w3c Breakouts Day 2026!
🗓️ Join us tomorrow - 25 March 2026, 14:00–15:00 UTC

HTML slides are web-friendly, accessible, and easy to publish. However there’s no dedicated editor to make slide creation easy. So, @bert is building not one, but two editors for #HTML slides: one that lets people edit slides as #markdown text and one WYSIWYG editor.

Come check out these early-stage editors, discuss their future, and see how they can help you prepare slides.

I've added a "copy" button to all my code samples.

The JS is surprisingly lightweight.

<button class=copy onclick="navigator.clipboard.writeText( this.parentNode.lastChild.textContent );" title="Copy code">⧉</button>

Wonder if there's any other semantics / accessibility stuff I need to consider?

This isn't your normal "looking for work" post.

I've decided to shut my business and do more volunteer / community work.

If you know of an organisation which could use a board member with strong digital skills, extensive experience in open source and open standards, or cybersecurity please let me know.

Nothing full time. Personal recommendations preferred. Feel free to share.
