Playing around with DALL-E. "Mark Twain on a porch overlooking the Mississipi River with a steamboat going down the river. Must look like it was drawn as an illustration for a book 100 years ago. The picture should be wider and relatively short.” #
A bug report was filed by AJ-Ianozi re the W3C hosting of my RSS 2.0 spec, with my name, copyright and CC-BY license removed. I posted a comment in that thread, and I really hope that's all that's needed to put this behind us. #Ask ChatGPT: "Suppose I had written a story and published it on the web. It is clearly stated that I am the author, and it is published using the Creative Commons attribution share-alike license. Suppose someone else publishes the story on their own website, removed my name and replaced it with theirs. Would the license allow them to do that?"#
- If anyone from archive.org is tuned in... #
- How did the archive of the RSS 2.0 spec get cut off to start at 2016? #
- Screen shot.#
- The spec has been on the web at the same location since 2003.#
- What the what?? 😄#
- 6/25 update: Problem solved. #
- I like to write specs for humans.#
- Imho too many specs are organized the way a computer would want them, the way software is organized. Establish basic vocabulary in layers then and assume the human reader will know how to put the pieces together to do things. Never answer questions a busy developer would have.#
- Humans like it the other way around. Show me how to do X, Y and Z, the most common things people want to do with the API, and then later explain how the pieces fit together. The hello world approach.#
- With the arrival of AI, computers can now read what humans read. So you should just write your specs for humans and it'll work fine for computers too!#
- Gotta change with the times. 😀#
- PS: This should probably be filed under Rules for standards-makers. #
- PPS: Heh. It already is there, in an abbreviated form.#
- As a baby in a carriage, my mother would get an ice cream treat and share it with me. I thought ice cream was pure god food. I know this because when I see a picture of an old time Good Humor ice cream truck, my most primitive consciousness experiences it as a miracle that's about to happen. #
- My inner-infant delights, pure ecstasy, immortality! #
- 100 percent unadulterated love. ❤️#
