It… works!!! 😃😃 Sorry about the audio, I used the noisy fan that has to be replaced. The extra reboot is “normal”, has to do with having spent a while without the battery, or the boot CD image I'm using, or something. The 475 does the same.

After recording this, I inserted an extra 4MB of RAM so the 7.6.1 installer can actually install. It's doing that now! #retroApple

My paper about the AI-generated podcasts is out! I used NotebookLM to generate podcasts from 4 texts from 4 different cultural contexts - and from an empty PDF - and found that the podcasts always translate to a white American context - losing key info and adding stuff not in the original. The dataset is available too. https://doi.org/10.1177/01634437261452160

The good thing about AI is that you can build anything you want. That's also the bad thing if we don't stop to think what is worth building.

My workflow automatically syncs the GitHub stars with my Obsidian vault, but sometimes people move on or the software loses relevance.
This script is meant to be run manually every once in a while as an habit to look back at what is no longer useful to keep, and quickly delete it.
That's why you get a csv that you can call `cemetery-of-dead-stars.csv`.

Removes the star status from stale repositories and adds some personal pruning for obsidian

if you use @NetNewsWire and @obsidian , I've got something for you.
It's a tiny script that runs in the background and saves starred articles as #markdown clippings

Vibe coding for fun and no profit

I wrote my first programme at 9 on an Olivetti PC1. Now anyone can build an app by talking to an AI. But when everyone solves their own problems, who's left to solve ours?

Vibe coding for fun and no profit

Apps don't shake systemic dogmas. People do. A post about what vibe coding can and can't fix — and why it's a good time for PR.

I am loving the Lost Post app, it's what the web needs right now. You get a prompt to write a postcard, and the next day, you get someone else's postcard. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lost-post-daily-world-stories/id6755685223

Keeping up with the AI Hype

Everyone stopped talking about AGI. Nobody agreed on a definition and reality wasn't meeting expectations. But agents are showing good results. One of them already wrote a blog post complaining about the humans who wouldn't accept its pull request.
