Wow that #Substack CEO interview is a train wreck:
https://www.theverge.com/23681875/substack-notes-twitter-elon-musk-content-moderation-free-speech

Q: No, I really want you to answer that question. Is that allowed on Substack Notes? “We should not allow brown people in the country.”

A: I’m not going to get into gotcha content moderation.

Q: This is not a gotcha... I’m a brown person. Do you think people on Substack should say I should get kicked out of the country?

A: I’m not going to engage in content moderation, “Would you or won’t you this or that?”

Is Substack Notes a ‘Twitter clone’? We asked CEO Chris Best

Substack enters new territory with the launch of Substack Notes. Can it handle content moderation, running a consumer product, and beefing with Elon Musk and Twitter?

I remember when there was a big stink because of some flute. From the noise, I thought she had dropped or broken in, but no ... she played it. Because, they ... asked her to.

I mean, that told me all I needed to know about that crap.
Haven't seen it yet (I'm behind in my Star Wars related stuff), but this makes me want to! 😀

Found a great/terrible idea for a keyboard, and immediately thought of @foone who isn't on twitter much anymore.

I hope they appreciate it:

"PR isn't hard, anybody can do it, really"

COUNTEREXAMPLE incoming.

I mean, sure, that's a way to discourage people from even TRYING your up and coming service; just abdicate on doing things that will not turn off 99%+ of your potential audience.

Just learned that both authors of LZ77 and LZ78 compression methods died this year.

Prof. Abraham Lempel died 7 weeks ago.
Prof. Jacob Ziv died today.

Henry Ford, in the pre-compiler era, was the first to really factorize computer programming, when he implemented the Assembly Line.

ChatGPT client... for DOS!

Building a DOS ChatGPT client in 2023

With the recent attention on ChatGPT and OpenAI’s release of their APIs, many developers have developed clients for modern platforms to talk to this super smart AI chatbot. However I’m pretty sure almost nobody has written one for a vintage platform like MS-DOS. This client now supports Hugging Face API and text to speech (TTS) capability. More info on TTS is found at the later part of this post.

What would you do with your life if everyone had enough and would always have enough?

I would make music & art & scientific discoveries to cure chronic diseases.

Until then, I’m working on everyone having enough.
