I almost made the same post. In the author's position I'd consider a different name or talking to the Foundation if he hasn't already.

I suspect every bespoke web-accessible CMS evolves towards some WordPress conventions over time. I have built, I don’t know, four (or maybe five depending on your perspective, and not-including small app-specific systems) fairly solid CMSes

I am not fond of Bedrock. (Acorn maybe solves a problem though) Subverting the way WP works to make it work more like other environments is, in my long experience with WP, the cause of almost all unmaintainable, hacky sites, no matter how g

Yeah -- though I think VVV has been thoroughly supplanted by Local: https://localwp.com Which almost every serious WP designer-turned-theme-developer I know uses. (I personally use my own simplified Vagrant package management s

You mostly see people projecting perceived error onto LLMs? I don't think I've seen a single article about an AI getting things wrong, recently, where there was a nuanced notion about whether it was actually wrong. I don't

Indeed. Well unless you read The Manual by The KLF ;-)

A "hook" is a pretty pure example of musicianship, because it has to be "hooky". Gregory Bateson said that "information is the difference that makes a difference". For a musician as for music fans, hooks are li

LLMs hallucinate on legal questions because they hallucinate on everything. Hallucination isn't a special weird form of error: it's the entire process by which LLMs work. Proponents and enthusiasts just call the errors "hallu

17-33% is a whole lot less minimal than the person guiding a row of supermarket checkouts. In a busy supermarket they probably intervene less than 5%. But then the supermarket checkout risk is a bounded one -- there's only so much that

When you consider that the people who develop this stuff consider that a good way to write a song might be to get an AI to generate a complete generic, formulaic song and then have a musician fix it, it's not so hard to understand why

Audit, verify, but also modify . I don't know why anyone thinks that an AI that just trots out commonplace solutions to legal problems is something that most people even want. GPTs might be able to do boilerplate basics, but since it

Yeah, though it doesn’t quite capture all of the experience of working with slower broadband. For example if you have a website that is meant to be used alongside a video call or while watching video, it’s difficult to really simulate all o

The article suggests it does boost bone density in existing teeth so I think the question I'd want to see answered is why doesn't it have an effect on osteoporotic bone?

If it can boost density in existing teeth, even that's a big deal. Probably more valuable than regrowing. I am a 49-year-old and (apart from the four teeth removed in my teens so that orthodontics could straighten and resolve overcrowd
