Summary: A 10-minute explanation of what we've been up to lately and what's changing; hopefully I'll have a lot more free time in months to come and we'll be able to produce about a dozen posts per day

WE HAVE been working on some fairly large changes lately, both in the Web site and the Gemini capsule. We've simply invested time in making both better. In the process we produce a lot of code too.



"In the case of the TOC (table of contents), which appears in the Daily Links, this will pay off for years to come as we publish about 1,000 batches of these each year."At this very moment I'm updating the home server (Gemini and Web gateway) and therefore I lack time to prepare as many articles and videos as we hoped/planned/aimed for. In the case of the TOC (table of contents), which appears in the Daily Links, this will pay off for years to come as we publish about 1,000 batches of these each year. The main change in Gemini has been in the "Planet".

Toward the end of the video I add some remarks about the demise of Twitter and corruption of the Linux Foundation. Don't be fooled by them. They don't represent the public interest and they certainly don't respect free speech.

Fact #1: over time slop gets worse (training set is like some blurry JPEG). Fact #2: People's "smell" for slop improves over time, as they 'train' on slop and can detect it based on prior encounters. Put 1 and 2 together.
