Thoughts on Technology

“Our Social Web”

“Support for links is the basic requirement of the web[…]. If you don’t support links not only aren’t you the web, you’re anti-web.” I can’t think of a more basic requirement for the Web, let alone the “social web”. I’d add that it has to be two-way linking, as well.

“Coding Font”

I ended up on IBM Plex Mono, although the font I’ve been using, Berkeley Mono, isn’t in the game, presumably because it’s not free. One note that really affected the outcome of the game for me: make sure to adjust the font size and ligature on/off options to what you usually use in your editor.

“Introducing ChatGPT Pro”

It looks like you’ll _have_ to pay the $200/mo if you really want to use o1 for much. I’ve been using it this weekend on the $20 plan and got the following: “You have 5 responses from o1 remaining. If you hit the limit, responses will switch to another model until it resets December 10, 2024.”
