I also found this OED Historical Thesaurus, which I'm sad I didn't consult more frequently.
"Unlike a typical thesaurus it is not just for looking up synonyms-instead, it can be used to explore the different words used for a particular concept or meaning over time."

Anyway, it was fun to click through the site again and check out their "new releasees." An amazing, visionary project to take on back in the day.

I also was reminded of the extent to which Gallica (site of French Nat'l Library) was the OG of numeriser-ing (numeriser = french for digitize which I love) images/books and putting them on line, which is slightly ironic, since France lagged behind digitally in most other ways c. 2010.

Bondy Blog. Excellent french language reporting founded "to give voice to the people of working class areas" (my terrible translation). Highly esteemed in France, and such a great representation of much of what is omitted from the romanticized American vision of France.

I saw that I had a link called "Hardcore History" and I was like, "really, I bookmarked that podcast?" but it turned out to be this history of electronic music styles which I was thoroughly delighted to find again:

Other nostalgic food things I found:
- CHOWHOUND links! (RIP./ whyyyyyy did that have to die?)
- Mark Bittman/The Minimalist (recipe for pernil, but mostly I was like, OMG Mark Bittman!)
- David Liebowitz, who was never really quite for me (too Paris-loving), but still was representative of an era

Oops! I'm wrong. Looks like Copilot can execute code/run commands now. Huh. Now I'm curious too, but it does seem like Copilot has the same capabilities with all models.

Do you mean you choose a Claude model to use with Copilot? That's very different than Claude Code. The latter can run shell commands on your behalf, whereas Copilot, no matter what the model, cannot do this -- it can edit files via interaction w VSCode, and offer llm text output.

Cool and definitely much needed work!
Under the hood, are you imagining that this involves building additional deterministic software with structured data models and workflows around AI inputs and outputs and exposing that to the user rather than a more raw AI result? Or..something else?

Also a little self-conscious about it (comms style), but that's why I'm here trying to talk myself out of it!

To be clear, 1. I'm okay w the composition of the team--ppl I've met are lovely, gender thing was addressed proactively in interviews, + "hard tech" just has v few women; 2. I'm psyched to continue my own comms style, which involves a lot of !s when I'm excited.
