AI crawlers need to be more respectful

There’s a growing backlash against AI crawlers consuming websites, videos, and other content with little respect for robots.txt, copyright issues, or the spikes of traffic that hosts have to pay for. Now, more people are talking about the impact.

Tech Crunched: How the go-to site for startup news lost its way

This honestly feels like a summation of the trials and tribulations of tech journalism over the past 20 years, seen through the focus of one of the best-known sites. To some anyway.

Orthosomnia

I am a terrible sleeper, but one of the best pieces of advice I read is to stop worrying about it. In fact, I found out this week that worrying about sleep now has a medical term.

‘The first few nights were punishing’: how sleep restriction cured my lifelong insomnia

theguardian.com

I am an on/off long-suffering poor sleeper. The middle-of-the-night insomnia is better than it used to be, but I still find it hard to stay in a deep sleep and wake up too early most of the time. I have also been trying to stay up later, hoping it might mean I wake up later, but it’s not working especially in summer. I am not sure I want to push things to this extreme, but maybe it’s worth trying.

Managing Your Mac Menu Bar: A Roundup of My Favorite Bartender Alternatives

macstories.net

I love macOS’s menu bar, but it can get cluttered quite quickly. Thanks to Setapp I’ve been using Bartender for some time to keep mine tidy. Recently, the developer sold the company to a new owner who, shall we say, didn’t handle the transition well. Most people’s concerns around security and privacy seem to now be resolved, but it still gave developers of alternative applications a great opportunity, and this list summarises some of the best.

Training AI music models is about to get very expensive

technologyreview.com

Did I mention before I used to be a professional musician? I think I did 😅. Anyway, as I still make some money from that part of my life, it makes me more sensitive to those exploiting musicians’ work. Oddly, AI-generated music is one of the rare cases where the archaic archaeology of the music business works in favour of artists. They are not an industry with a reputation for taking a hit to their bottom line lightly, and now the AI companies are firmly in their sights.

Are rainy days ahead for cloud computing?

bbc.com

While some companies are still beginning their journey with cloud-native, some of the early adopters are already moving to the next thing, which seems to be back to running your own servers. The promise of flexible costs hasn’t been the reality for many, and the loops and hoops providers make you jump through too much work. 37signals (and isn’t it great to hear from them again!?) are one of many recent examples of this trend. While I don’t think we need to worry about the big three providers yet, what’s next?

SimCity Isnt a Model of Reality. Its a Libertarian Toy Land

wired.com

Anyone reading for a while might know I am a fan of building-style games (on the rare occasions I play games anyway). Sim City is a classic of this genre, and it became so popular that its influence spread further than you may realise. “Simulations” being something new meant that the game’s developer was asked to create simulation games for a lot of different industries, but not all of them were as successful as the original.

Micropolisweb

micropolisweb.com

And if all this talk of SimCity makes you nostalgic or experience what we oldies had to put up with, you can play it in the browser thanks to the power of WebAssembly.

News from me

2024 hasn’t been the best year for many of us. Unfortunately, the same applies to me. Especially in the past few weeks, I have had several projects cancelled, but there’s one I am most annoyed by and would like to try to find a new home for.

I was working on a book covering Ableton Live 12, and the project was suddenly cancelled. I was quite enjoying the process and was building up a good plan and body of work covering the topic, bringing a dose of practical “analogue” music experience to a largely electronic topic.

It’s too late for a specific Live 12 book now, but I would love to take some of what I have to a new home. A new book, a course, maybe. I was thinking of ideas around “Live for drummers”, or “Live for analogue musicians”, that kind of thing. If you, or anyone you know, might be interested in this, let me know!

Finally, I am planning a rebrand of the podcast and newsletter. I still need to investigate a few things and all being well, I will push ahead in August, as it’s a quiet month.

Private Cloud Compute: A new frontier for AI privacy in the cloud

security.apple.com

Depending on who you speak with and how much attention they actually paid to the event, WWDC was either one of the best or worst events Apple has ever done. Personally, I was excited by a lot of the user and developer-facing announcements and can't wait to try them. Among all the announcements was this detailed post on how Apple intends to keep its new AI cloud services private and secure. It is a fascinating insight from a company that isn't typically so forthcoming with details.

Stack Overflow suspends user for editing posts in OpenAI protest

bleepingcomputer.com

It was a matter of time before Stack Overflow admitted defeat in their own AI efforts and asked Open AI for a big pile of money to access their data instead.

Large language models can do jaw-dropping things. But nobody knows exactly why. →

Two years ago, Yuri Burda and Harri Edwards, researchers at the San Francisco–based firm OpenAI, were trying to find out what it would take to get a language model to do basic arithmetic.

AI Prompt Engineering Is Dead →

Since ChatGPT dropped in the fall of 2022, everyone and their donkey has tried their hand at prompt engineering—finding a clever way to phrase your query to a large language model (LLM) or AI art or video generator to get the best results or sidestep protections.

The best iPad score reader for most people →

Even before Apple announced the iPad, seeing the first Amazon Kindle had me excited for the day that I would be able to leave my giant stacks of music scores at home.

How the iMac saved Apple →

The original iMac entered a computing world that desperately needed a shake-up. After the wild early days of the personal computer revolution, things had become stagnant by the mid-1990s.

Elegy for the Native Mac App →

The first Macintosh came out in 1984 with a familiar formula: expensive, limited, but elegant and easy to use. From the start it was something of a cult classic. Apple was struggling financially, and spent most of the 90s on hair-brained ideas: the Newton, the Pippin, the QuickTake.

50 years of text adventures and 50 weeks of AI adventures

chris@chrischinchilla.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 14:09:42 +0000

Hello all! It’s been a little while and I’ve been holding on to a really great interview the whole time. In summary, after a long few years of running the podcast through varying shapes and sizes… I am joining a podcast network and agency! This is great news for me and will help me move the show to the next level, however I need to do a few technical transfers behind the scenes and that made me pause for a few weeks to avoid downtime. Unfortunately we hit a few issues here and there and that switch over will happen after this issue and episode now.

Podcast version

So, with that news over, the great interview mentioned above is with Aaron A. Reed, author of the amazing “50 years of text adventures”. I backed the book on Kickstarter, but Aaron gave me an advanced press copy and it’s a fantastic read! We spoke about the book, text adventures in general, and had a great conversation around the intersection of technology and writing.

Flop or future?

WWDC happened, and nestled amongst other announcements that actually excited me much more, was the new Vision Pro. I am extremely un-excited by VR, and while AR has interesting applications, we have seen many large projects from equally large companies fail. But who am I to know? Here’s some interesting links from the discussion around WWDC.

With Vision Pro, Apple shows computing's future. But who's it for? →

Tomorrow belongs to somebody, but Apple’s much-talked-about mixed-reality device, Vision Pro — unveiled Monday during a glitzy presentation at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference — won’t ship until early 2024.

Apple will face an uphill battle convincing developers to build apps for its headset →

The ‘one more thing’ announced by Apple at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this year was the industry’s worst-kept secret. The Apple Vision Pro, the tech giant’s gamble on making mixed reality headsets a thing, has received a mixed welcome.

News from WWDC23: WebKit Features in Safari 17 beta →

It’s been a fantastic year for WebKit. We’ve shipped eight Safari releases since WWDC22, with more than 140 new web technologies in the first half of 2023 alone. Now, we are pleased to announce another 88 web features coming this fall in Safari 17. Web apps are coming to Mac.

Open Source insights with Scarf and questioning AI

chris@chrischinchilla.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Thu, 25 May 2023 14:33:34 +0000

Hello everyone!

A big dive into questioning artificial intelligence and an interview with Avi from Scarf, who aims to help open source developers gain insights into their usage.

Questioning artificial intelligence

It’s another AI-heavy issue, but this time I want to highlight some content that questions the technology and attitudes to it in some nuanced ways. I start with how AI creators and users are “hallucinating” its potential, wonder if it’s as smart as it looks, and look at the discussions around how to block AI using your content.

AI machines aren’t ‘hallucinating’. But their makers are →

Inside the many debates swirling around the rapid rollout of so-called artificial intelligence, there is a relatively obscure skirmish focused on the choice of the word “hallucinate”.

ChatGPT Is Powered by Human Contractors Getting Paid $15 Per Hour →

ChatGPT, the wildly popular AI chatbot, is powered by machine learning systems, but those systems are guided by human workers, many of whom aren’t paid particularly well. A new report from NBC News shows that OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, has been paying droves of U.S.

AI Tools Are Scraping Your Website. Is That a Good Thing? →

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been disruptive. Things are changing rapidly. And it seems like this technology is posing new moral, ethical, and existential questions each day. There are plenty of stories and opinions to choose from. But one recent incident caught my eye.

We'll fight them on the breaches

chris@chrischinchilla.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Thu, 2 Mar 2023 13:38:56 +0000

Welcome

Hello everyone welcome to my regular ramble through geeky subjects from tech, to history, games, writing, language, and more.

This issue is a little light on links, but I have a great interview with Josh Koenig of Pantheon you can hear in the voiceover section of this newsletter or wherever you find your podcasts. I remember Pantheon from my Drupal days. And we spoke a lot about the past, present and future of content delivering what where they came from what they have been doing and what they're about to do with the proliferation of new ways of managing and providing content.

Tech

After 20 years are developers now ready for Nix?

First something that relates nicely to the interview I had last week with Jetpack.io who have built some tools on top of NixOS. This article from John Leonard pondered if Nix was ahead of its time, and only now are companies and users (at scale) building on top of it. Most of this ties into increased requirements for “software bills of materials” and an operating system that you can rebuild from configuration and is comprised a literal bill of materials is compelling.

I try something similar with my own solutions for macOS, but that isn’t an operating system designed from the ground up to function this way.

LastPass tells (mostly) all

Months later, LastPass finally revealed what happened to cause their large data breach last year. I stopped using LastPass ages ago in favour of 1Password mostly as LastPass is so ugly to use. However, this was a huge betrayal of faith for a company whose main business is to keep things safe and I wonder how their competitors have benefited?

ChatGPT vs Writers

Of course, it wouldn’t be a tech newsletter without a quick mention of ChatGPT.

S.E. Ireland worries about the implications for tech writers and as that’s where I make money, so am I. For the more precudural aspect of that job, I am already worried. For the more human “how to connect the dots” content, not quite yet. We shall see…

Clarkesworld had to close submissions due to a flood of content written by people using ChatGPT and I would imagine they aren’t the only ones. As someone attempting to get short stories published right now, this is another shot fired by ChatGPT for aspiring writers, but is this akin the zoom bombers or spam comments on blogs and will all the trolls just get bored in a few weeks?

As a creative writer, I like writing and don’t necessarily want an AI interfering with that process. But others (ab)using it to flood publications still affects writers indirectly as I can’t get anything published right now…

Welcome to twenty twenty wee hee

chris@chrischinchilla.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 11:49:38 +0000

Hey everyone!

So, I am quite late with this newsletter and podcast as I was travelling blah blah. But also Twitter owns the service I was using for newsletters (Revue), which meant I needed to look for a replacement. I looked at a few but settled on where all the cool kids were… Substack. Then I noticed they also support podcasts, so migrated my podcast too. I wanted to give a good window of time to ensure everything had migrated, and now finally here we are!

Substack offers a lot of cool new features and options that I am only starting to explore, so the newsletter will change look a little over the next few issues. OK, enough of that, it’s 2023, it’s going to be a great year. Here we go!

Rebroadcast: Scott Heiferman - founder of meetup.com

chris@chrischinchilla.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 14:00:00 +0000

There's a high chance that if you have attended an event in a city in recent years, it was arranged through meetup.com. The site now has over 32 million members, over a quarter of a million meetup groups and over half a million meetups happening in 182 countries every month.

Aside from being a keen and regular user, meetup has always fascinated me, as it's a tech company with a core mission that is about getting people away from their technology and to in-person meetings with like-minded people. It's a service that creates so many positive outcomes, yet so many users focus on the negatives of the platform. And as one attendee of a meetup organizers meetup in Berlin put it, "you're a service where those who do all the work have to pay".

After his talk about "the future in 2027" at Berlin's Tech Open Air event, I sat down with the founder, Scott Heiferman to dig into the past, present and future of meeting people.

Managing Your Business Apps with Apperian, An Interview with Mark Lorion

chris@chrischinchilla.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 08:40:29 +0000

To those of us addicted to our smartphones, the myriad of applications we can install and what we can achieve (or time waste) with them is astounding.

But for those of us working in corporate or other industries that value business privacy and secrecy, the freedom that apps give us and that we give them, is a little too risky.

Enter the role of mobile app management services that sit between a device and the limitations that a company wishes to impose upon it.

Apperian are one such company in the field, offering features such as app security, distribution, policies, logging and much more.

I sat down with Mark Lorion, President and General Manager at Apperian to discuss what the company offers and how they keep up with the constant demands and changes of their customers and mobile platform creators.

Pepperdata - Bringing DevOps Practices to the Big Data World

chris@chrischinchilla.com (Big Pond Podcasts) — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 07:38:09 +0000

Big Data analysis generally involves piping large data sets into processing systems such as Apache Spark and Hadoop, walking away for a very long coffee and returning later to a hopefully successful result. The DevOps and continuous build ecosystem has long employed linters, code analyzers and application profilers to discern potential trouble and optimization points in code, and Pepperdata want to bring that practice to the Big Data world.

I spoke with CEO Ash Munshi, formerly CTO of Yahoo and consultant to other data heavy tech companies about what the company offers, and how their customers save hours from running inefficient processing jobs.
