Modern HTML is a disaster. It’s bloated, semantically meaningless, and hostile to browsers, bots, and users. We’ve traded structure for utility, and performance is paying the price. Semantic HTML still matters - and here’s why. jonoalderson.com/conjecture/why…
Kyiv covered in thick smoke after a 10-hour Russian attack. It's hard to breathe. 400 drones and 18 missiles, including ballistics, launched at city and the region. This is what one of the biggest European capitals looks like right now.
Kyiv at this hour as Russia targets the city's civilian population in a 7 hour drone and ballistic missile attack.
This paper captured my curiosity. "Potemkin Understanding" aptly describes a frustration we all experience daily: an LLM sounds like it understands but can't apply what it knows. A few years from now, we’ll look back on these early days with a better lexicon for what was missing.
🏘️ "Potemkin Understanding" - a failure mode where LLMs appear to grasp a concept but only create the illusion of understanding. New research shows models get definitions right 94% of the time but fail to use those same concepts 40-55% of the time. → socket.dev/blog/potemkins…

This was my talk tonight. TL;DR WordPress was not built by just one person. WordPress belongs to all of us.

I've been thinking quite a lot about why @photomatt's actions in and around Wordpress and @automattic have bothered me so and it all came together this past week. I was writing about it and then the news of FAIR broke - and bam. #wpdrama #wordpress #wpterrorism…
We're delighted to launch the FAIR Package Manager with the Linux Foundation - read our announcement and come collaborate with us! #FAIRPM linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-fo…
Anything but a backpack day! I 3D printed my daughter a HUGE Stanley
