So what’s the best way to feed my car’s user manual to an LLM and have it answer all my questions? Or every appliance in my house, for that matter.
New toy arrived!

Google removes pledge to not use AI for weapons from website
https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/04/google-removes-pledge-to-not-use-ai-for-weapons-from-website/ - So the latest Stormlight Archive book is apparently the last of its arc, so I guess I will read it after all.
And I don’t remember what’s been happening at all, so I guess I will go read all five of them now… - What to call these short-form social media postings?
They aren’t "tweets" anymore, "post" can’t distinguish from long-form content, and "toot" is just silly.
The Japanese term for them means "murmur", which is fantastic. - The solution I've landed on:
1. Post to fediverse from nice mobile clients.
2. Blog pulls latest posts when building, and includes them in the generated site.
The order is backwards from a POSSE standpoint, but it's easy and it works. - Maybe: use an iOS shortcut to
1. Type some text
2. Add yaml front matter to my text
3. Save the file into the git repo, which exists on my iCloud drive
4. Use Working Copy to commit & push
🫤 - Is there a best way to update a static blog from my phone?
Opening the blog repo in a text editor and pushing to git will definitely be too much friction for me to do regularly.
I want to just be able to just write text, save/send it somewhere, and have my home PC (I guess?) process it for me. - I've added my pronouns to my profile.
I hadn't before, because my pronouns weren't important to me. I've learned, though, that this is because I am privileged.
For many people, their pronouns are very important. And, unfortunately, there are many who are openly antagonistic towards these people. So it's important for people like me to be openly supportive, to balance the scales if you will.
"I support your rights to feel however you want to feel about yourself" feels like such a ridiculous thing to say. In a sane world we would never *need* to say that. But look around, guess what. We do need to say it, and we need to say it loudly. So I will.
