The /llms.txt file – llms-txt A proposal to standardise on using an /llms.txt file to provide information to help LLMs use a website at inference time.

Got sent this: https://llmstxt.org/

I think the whole premise is absolutely beautiful.

Modern websites are bloated and unusable.

Proposal: make a separate usable version. For non-humans, obviously. Fuck humans.

Two interesting PKU announcements on a single day doesn't happen often, but here's another one: PTC announced today that the European Commission has granted marketing authorisation for Sephience (sepiapterin/BH2)! There's hope that it will work for at least some of us BH4 non-responders, too […]

The registration for the E.S.PKU conference 2025 in Hamburg is open! Who else is planning to go? (@soheb or @poconnor maybe?)

Low-protein pasta salad

A nice dinner for a day that is too hot to have warm food: A pasta salad with low-protein pasta, tomatoes, olives and rucola, some garlic, salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil. Simple, but really good.

Nua-Chorpas na hÉireann results from texts by native speakers showing many instances of ‘gur ⟨name⟩ an t-ainm a bhí air’ and similar structures, eg. ‘gur John Paul a bhí ort’, ‘gur Micí is ainm dom’, ‘gur Máirtín a bhí ar fhear an phíopa’, ‘gur Bríd a tugadh ort’ without any pronoun after the copular forms.

One interesting rule of #Irish #grammar that many people struggle with, but it seems well alive in native Irish. A 🧵.

If a proper name (of person or place) is referring to the name itself, & not to a specific person, it’s treated as indefinite after the copula.

@b0rk And of course I had to experiment with it again, too, and I just learnt two more new things (or the second one probably just forgotten from when I first discovered this):

In practice, you even seem to get all of stdin, stdout and stderr opened read-write on Linux.

And less actually has […]

@b0rk Random fun fact, maybe someone finds it useful: The first one is how I always imagined things, too. So I was really surprised when I learnt that you can actually read from stderr, too. Ever wondered why you can pipe something into less and still use your keyboard to control it? 🙂

Dried bloot spots

[Blood spots]

For this time, I decided to move the decoration a bit so that it's not so far from the center any more, and to place it mostly around a single spot.

I appreciate the inspiration all of you keep giving to me and hope that my way to decorate the […]

Dried blood spot card

Could there be a better occasion than #RareDiseaseDay to do my monthly test? As you can see, I took inspiration from some other unnamed PKUers on the Fediverse and added some small extra spots for decoration.

Three of my last four tests were […]

@sohebm.bsky.social What did you expect? Chatbots are made to give answers that sound good, not answers that are correct.

Another article in today's @irishtimes.com: @frankie49.bsky.social on the colours of the wind (www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-i...).
The motif of the different colours of the winds (or rather cardinal directions) features prominently already in the 10th-century Irish Saltair na Rann "Verse Psalter".

T-shirt in the style of “You wouldn’t steal a car” meme that says “You wouldn’t steal the sum total of human knowledge and experience for use in your proprietary AI chatbot”

I’m not sure who made this t-shirt but I think I need to have it.

@soheb At least here, I'm sure it will become much better over the next weeks with an upcoming election! 😬

@soheb Admit it, you only added the two spots on the left because it would look too perfect otherwise. 😛

@soheb Saying that certinaly has early 2000s vibes. 😅

Github telling me that I can now use Copilot is a reminder that you, yes you the free software developers with a project on Github, are the one preventing me to delete my account.

Seriously. Get your public projects out of Github.

Native English speakers who study German frequently find themselves bamboozled by its confusing grammar rules. So what would happen if English speakers spoke... When people speak English but with German grammar

If thou no German speakest, canst thou anyway this video watch in order German with English words to hear!

Íomha de shuíomh dublincitylights.ie á rá so: “The official name of the Spire is An Túr Solas «Monument of Light»” (ach ní hé an fhíorbhrí leis an méid).

An Túr Solas?
‘Is Light a Tower?’

S: Solas ‘Light’
P: Túr ‘a Tower’
copula: an …? (the interrogative form)

@soheb What do you get there? I have never really bothered to check if they have something more interesting for us than chips and maybe a salad, but I only go there under peer pressure anyway with no time to plan things.

@soheb In reality, there were probably just no cats outside that you could have wrestled with, so you knew you had to do without that bonus this time!
