  "[...] a year into Trump’s second term, as Palantir deepens its relationship with an administration many workers fear is wreaking havoc at home, employees are finally raising these concerns internally, as the US’s war on immigrants, war in Iran, and even company-released manifestos has forced them to rethink the role they play in it all." https://www.wired.com/story/palantir-employees-are-starting-to-wonder-if-theyre-the-bad-guys/

  @simon Per today's post on ELIZA: I published llm-eliza, a (satirical) plugin for llm that uses the ELIZA chatbot. As always, I love your blog! https://codeberg.org/EvanHahn/llm-eliza

  ELIZA, released in 1966, is a state-of-the-art language model. It offers zero-GPU inference with sub-millisecond semantic throughput, and scores highly on EQ measurements (emotional intelligence). I built llm-eliza for using it at the command line. https://evanhahn.com/llm-eliza/ #satire #llm #ai #eliza

  GitHub’s downtime is bad, but uptime numbers can be misleading. It’s not as bad as it looks; more like a D than an F. https://evanhahn.com/in-defense-of-githubs-poor-uptime/ #GitHub #microsoft #downtime

  "human.json is a protocol for humans to assert authorship of their site content and vouch for the humanity of others. It uses URL ownership as identity, and trust propagates through a crawlable web of vouches between sites." I've added it to my website! https://codeberg.org/robida/human.json

  I was surprised to learn that gzip streams encode which operating system did the compression. I built a little tool, "gzpeek", to inspect this metadata (and more): https://evanhahn.com/introducing-gzpeek/ #gzip #metadata #programming #compression
