Grief, Sadness, Mourning
I thought I was doing better. I woke up and didn’t start sobbing. As the morning progressed, I was okay. Bret popped into my head and I was sad, but not crying. Progress. Progress to acceptance? Maybe. Then I wrote my parents asking when I could see them. I started to cry. Writing that email…

WP Engine, who is in a prolonged legal battled with WordPress.org and Automattic over trademark and other legal matters bought a plug-in today. Congrats to them.

Ars Technica Publishes A Post With Quotes Fabricated By AI
Ars Technica recently published an article that had quotes that were fabricated by AI/LLMs. When called on it by the person who was “quoted” for the sheer fact that he was NEVER contacted for a quote, Ars did a retraction. There’s much talk about the ethics here and some good commentary here. On the latest…

I Could Have Lost My Mom This Week
I got a call yesterday or the day before (honestly the days blur now). That my Mom was at the hospital up in Vermont with heart pains and burning. I think it was Tuesday, so two days ago. She was admitted to the hospital up there and then it was determines that they needed to…
