The Big Interview with Dan Rather podcast is gold. Just listened to his interview with Steven Van Zandt of the E Street Band and the Sopranos. There are nine seasons of this podcast between 2013 and 2021. Going to keep me busy for a while. The RSS feed works.

Me and Skiing

date: 2024-12-01, from: Chris Coyier blog

I don’t seem like I’d be much of a skiier, do I? (I do not.) But here I am, doing skiing. It’s very (very) popular in Bend, Oregon because of the proximity to Mt. Bachelor (and to a lesser degree Hoodoo) and the outdoor lifestyle vibes here. People you know will be downhill skiing in […]

Wisdom of the crowds, or lowest common denominator?

date: 2024-12-01, from: Status-Q blog

I liked this: People have too inflated sense of what it means to “ask an AI” about something. The AI are language models trained basically by imitation on data from human labelers.
