Absolute banger of a post today - go read about the importance of process knowledge with a glorious tumbler post as the centerpiece

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but to me, sharing a screenshot of chatbot output to make a point of some kind is an excellent way to undermine any credibility that might otherwise be granted to you in the context of whatever you're trying to say.

Couple of other requests:
- peek/pop support for previewing pages by long pressing the url
- I guess you can't support safari extensions, but I use apps.apple.com/app/id157128... to rewrite x.com to xcancel.com so if there's an alternative way to achieve that, I'd be into it

a screenshot of text from a website. it reads: The History of the January 1 Birthday The tradition dates back to the early days of organized horse racing, long before electronic timing and online records. Race organizers needed a simple way to group horses by age since a horse’s age often determines what races they can enter. Instead of tracking every horse’s exact birth date (which would have been a logistical nightmare), they decided that all thoroughbreds would share one official birthday: January 1.

A screenshot of the linked article: Another time, I asked what it thought of my day. (Because really, how does one strike up an organic conversation with an always-listening AI?)
