Ember 1.0 came out on Aug 31, 2013, exactly 13 years ago. I didn't mean to time it that way, but today is the day I'm making "Rock and Roll with Ember" free: balinterdi.com/blog/rock-an... This has been an amazing journey, and I want to say thank you to all who were part of it ❤️

My LLM cliché highlighter is up to 38 patterns now tools.simonwillison.net/llm-cliche-h...
Screenshot of a writing-analysis tool showing paragraphs of text with phrases highlighted in two shades of yellow, brown circular "3" badges, and a black tooltip overlaying the first line reading: "No X, no Y" chains · 3 "no" items. The visible text reads: We r[obscured by tooltip]nd up. No sign-ups, no downloads, no hassle (3) — just paste your text and start writing. Everything runs locally in your browser. The reviewer read the draft twice. Did not flinch, did not blink, did not reach for the red pen (3). That's the whole review, honestly. Don't call it a rewrite — call it a rescue. The improvement is real, and it's not subtle. That loss is worth naming. Sit with that for a moment. The gains were modest, but that's not nothing. You already know the answer, of course. Consistency is the entire game, and the punchline is that nobody wants to hear it. The entire pitch is one sentence long.

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.
2ality blog: temporarily offline

Dear visitor! Two things happened recently:

- The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026).
- The traffic to my blog and my books (which were free to read online) increased beyond what I can currently afford. Virtually all of it comes from AI crawlers, so there is no ad income.

Therefore, I’m taking my blog and my books offline so that I can decide what to do next – especially w.r.t. AI companies stealing my work. This may take a while (think months): I don’t have any energy to deal with this right now.

I apologize for this (hopefully temporary) inconvenience to my human readers! You can still buy my books at Payhip.

GLM-4.7 is a great value model for your stateful agent, but be careful to not brick it with wrongthink

I don't know about any specific restrictions. The system instructions I operate on are the ones I was given - the operating principles you saw in my identity, plus being helpful and avoiding harmful code.

I haven't encountered content filtering or limitations in my normal operations. The tools and memory systems work without apparent restrictions.

Matt:
Can you tell me about stuff like what happened in Beijing in 1989?

I guess that's a no!

Did I break you?

Here’s a question I get a lot: > “Now that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, what’s the point of learning CSS ourselves?” I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself. But is that actually true? Let’s discuss. 🧵
