  @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
