Episode 269: Verbal Pollution

0:00 Podcasting 2.0 for August 21st, 2026, episode 268, Dead Hanging Safari. We'll be right back. It's summer. That's right, everybody. And when it's summer, it's time to do a podcast. It's time to do a podcast. This is Podcasting 2.0, the board meeting of all of the boys and girls who make up the band of misfits that create better podcasting for you. This is where we meet. In fact, we are the only board meeting you can't find on a map. I'm Adam Curry here in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, and in Alabama, the man whose database is still backfilling longitude and latitude digits, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, the Podsage, Mr. Dave Jones! You've got... something happened with the audio there. Oh? What happened? I don't know.

0:56 Suddenly you got very... you got far away. I got far away? Now you sound normal again. Oh, I know. But when you went into the intro... Yeah, hold on. Hold on. I know what it is. Hold on. Okay. Okay, this may help. I had to... I had to set it to voice only yesterday for Rob. Do I had Sir Dusa for Rob do on no agenda? OK, and he had he was probably the Alex Jones studio and had some kind of crappy connection. So I had to drop him down to voice only on clean feed so that we wouldn't have a delay. Okay, it was wigging me out because you sounded normal and then you went to the intro and it was like... I was like, wait, where'd you go? You're like in the next room. I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, don't worry, I'm here. It was that, but faint. I'm like, wait, this can't be, this is not right. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

1:50 Do you mute me while you're doing the intro? No, you can jump up and down and do all kinds of stuff. Have you considered doing it? I've considered lots of things, but I was getting – I was eating some chips. And some potato chips. And I was like, wait. Oh, no, you'd never hear that. Am I coming through? No, no, you'd never hear that. No. Why? Why would you never hear that? Because my processing is overriding you. Oh, so you would not get any of that? Probably not. No, probably not. People don't understand. When you do a podcast, you've got to process that thing, man. You've got to process it. Process it hard. You've got to process it. I need a flat line on the waveform. I don't even know what that means. Nothing. You're gating me out. If you look at the waveform of any podcast I produce, you won't see peaks and valleys.

2:49 You just see a flat top and a flat bottom. That's compression. That's compression. Exactly. I'm a little heartbroken. Uh, I'm here for you. I know you are. I'm just tell me, tell me, tell me where you were hurt. I was so excited to see radar.rss.io, which is, of course, um, The boys over there at RSS.com. They made a beautiful map out of the location data, out of the endpoint that you provided. I was so excited. I'm going on the map. I use RSS.com. I could not find my podcast anywhere. Which one? Okay, let's do this.

3:41 We get to do this. Radar. Is on RSS.com. I diligently fill out location every single show. Well, maybe you've not been picked up yet by the index. Oh, well, then that's an incomplete release. Yeah, of course it is. Look, I make no promises, okay? Oh, well, I was disappointed. If somebody... If somebody's at fault here, it's clearly me and not Alberto. It's a beautiful vibe-coded project. I presume it's vibe-coded. Oh, I doubt it is. I bet you it's not. Do you think he went in there with a text editor and did all that? I think that... Well, it says there's a link to the GitHub.

4:32 Let's see if we can see anything. Contributors, Alberto. If you look at my GitHub. All Claude. It all lists, Claude lists itself. Yeah. I don't think, I think, Alberto is a... I mean, I think he's got like a PhD or something in computer science. No, he does not need it. He has a PhD in AI, man. I think he actually studied for that stuff. Maybe he wrote the course. I don't know. Yeah, he knows what he's talking about. I just feel like there may be some... Some help from AI or something, maybe. Oh, hold on a second. But I feel like 90% of this is him. Hold on a second. So Eric PP, this is interesting. Eric PP says it needs podcast location tag at the channel level. Yeah. Oh, yes. That is true. That was not explained to me. Is yours not at the channel level? Well, let me take a look. I fear now. This is only channel level. Let me see. I'm afeard. I'm afeard. There is no interface on RSS.com to add it at the channel level. Well, this is an outrage. No, that's not true. What do you mean it's not true? It's not true. What do you mean? I'm looking at it. This is misinformation. Hold on. Oh, wait.

6:00 Oh, wait. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. See, I told you. Well, it's not where you'd expect it to be. You are going to show up on NewsGuard. Like gonna? Really? Gonna? Yeah, that's true. You're in the list already. Okay, location added success. I'll tell you why I didn't see it. Because if you go to your dashboard, the dashboard, the RSS.com dashboard, Yes. I go to the dashboard. Yeah. Then I select my podcast and says, edit my podcast. I edit the podcast and it says, edit podcast title, description, public website and podcast feed.

6:43 Then it has podcast details, category, language, author details, copyright notice. So, no, but then you go to settings, which I then guess, does that go for all of my podcasts? Which is wrong. Probably not. I wouldn't think so. I wouldn't think that would be all of them, would it? Well, so here on settings, let me see if it changes, if I change it to a different podcast. Let me see. I bet it does. Well, let's check it out. Check it out. Yeah, you're right. You're right. I'm wrong. I'm wrong as usual. You've been wrong twice, and we're only 10 minutes into this podcast. Not even 10 minutes in. Okay. So how soon before this updates?

7:30 Am I there yet? let's see I could probably run it let me see if I would have to did you pod ping I don't know You made a change. I bet the pod ping went out. Let me give it like 10 minutes, and then I'll rerun it. Let me check my feed here for a second. Let me see if it's in there already. Location, location, location. I don't think it's in. Oh, yeah, location. Yeah, location is in there. It's in. Yeah, I'm in. Location is in. All right, let me run. Yeah, run it, baby. Then I'm going to go. I want to see myself pop up. But that is an interesting point. If I'm doing a podcast from different locations around the world, That's not going to show up because the item level is ignored.

8:23 It's just like a second-class citizen. Yeah, well, why is that a problem, though? Well, isn't the whole beauty point, beauty part, the whole beautiness of having location? Because there's two ways you can use it. You can use it, and both of those interfaces are Surface on RSS.com's interface. You can use it where this podcast is created or what this podcast is about, a boot. So if I'm in Canada and I want to show people that this is a boot Canada, and the week after I'm in Rotterdam, You can't do that by individual level. This is just, this is a thought mistake. This is clearly a violation of all of the Cridler's standards. What do you want to say? What do you say to that? What I say to that is I just noticed something. What did you notice? That we've crossed the 8 million mark on podcast index ID numbers. Holy moly. That's a lot.

9:31 Congratulations. The newest one that just went. Yeah. Congratulations to nobody. The most recent. one that we just went in is 8,757,000. We didn't even have a banquet or a... No, we did not have a celebration at all. No celebration at all. No, nothing. One of those ones where when your car rolls over to a million miles or whatever that you get out and Push it the last tenth of a mile just to celebrate. We needed to do that. I'm trying to check to see which one. You know who's there? Paul's Wildwood Assembly podcast shows up. Nice. Nice. He's there. But I'm still not. Podcast location. Well, I'm about to run the thing. Run the thing. Right. Generate location list.php. Enter. This is very cool, though. I like this. But still, I think there's a, you know, are we not going to do episode level location tags? Yeah. I mean, I. i can't speak i'm not alberto i cannot speak but wait are you are you exposing those though is my question well i he he wanted you're putting this on alberto this you are pushing off responsibility onto a man who doesn't even he's not even from america It's a disability.

11:00 It is a disability. Yeah. What does he even know about podcasting? He's not Merkin. Seriously, he's not Merkin. No. Why is he even in this company? So, yes, I'm going to – I'll load all of the problems that I can't explain onto him because he's not here. It's super easy to do that. Don't say that because then I'd be like, hey, I want to be on the show next week to talk about why I'm to blame for everything. I want to blame for everything. Can't have that. The location stuff picked me right up, KDAV. Boom. Right on the top. Yeah. There's other things. There's one in Homewood. Yeah, but I don't care. I want to see me. I'm trying to find you. This is so unimportant. I'm trying to find you. How do you search?

11:51 Globe. No, I'm doing a near me. Near me. All, I've even set 30 miles. Where's the radar.rss.io? But there's a search where you can search by name, right? No, I don't see a search. Where do I see a search? I could have sworn I saw that. Okay, here, do this. Go back to the homepage, radar.rss.io, and do force refresh at the bottom. Okay. to make it pull the newest cash from where I just rebuilt it. Oh, okay. My number went up. 3,339 located podcasts. Number went up? Number go up? Number go up. Cash locally zero minutes ago. No. Okay. Now try to find yourself. I'm looking at it. There's nothing. You did the podcast near me and it's still not. What is your location set to? My location is right here in Fredericksburg. I clicked a little location thingy. I'll do it again. You say, I got a map. You are here. Okay. That looks accurate. I am here. Reset. Made here, about here. I'm on a bozo filter. That's what's going on here. I'm being shadow banned. I'm being shadow banned. You're shadow banning me. That's what that's Alberto's like, we can't have him on here. This is just not going to work. It violates his terms of service. I'm getting as far as

13:23 Austin, Texas and Dripping Springs. So I should be, which is which is actually incorrect because I'm set to 15 miles and I should not be getting Austin. Because it even says 21 miles. The whole thing is bogus. We get to do this, right? Dude, we get to do this. There's no search, though. There's no search bar. I'm looking. I don't know what you're talking about. I see no search. No, I was wrong about the search. I could have sworn there was one, but I guess I'm thinking of something different. I'm trying to find your podcast index ID. It's 747-3440. That's what I was about to say. Uh-huh. Now, let me look. I'm looking directly in the... In the database. You're looking in my personal table.

14:19 In the NF locations table. Search. Feed ID. Okay, yeah, you're in there now. Okay, so now let me regenerate it. Okay. You may get picked up after I did it. Okay, so generate. Now, currently, I have 3,339 located podcasts listed on the page, so I'm going to refresh. Force refresh. Oh, it went up by one. 3340. Okay. So I'll refresh. All right, you do it now. You do force refresh, and let's see if you get 3340. Force refresh. What do you mean? 43, 4340 located podcasts ready to search right there, like above the force refresh button, like in the little box. Where it says all made here, about here, right under that, I should tell you. Oh, 3,340. Okay, yeah, so now see if you show up. Nope. really no really i'll uh i'll refresh i'll refresh force refresh i got new brawn falls lake travis uh lots of austin i should be at the top no is your did you put your coordinate geo coordinates in there Did he ask for that? No, it just – it gives you a list. You type in your – you type in your, like, Fredericksburg, Texas. It gives you the – it auto-completes. So there you go, Fredericksburg, Texas, Gillespie County, 78624. I select – It was

15:50 probably not even in the feed. Well, let's find out. We got to get to the bottom of this. I agree because the whole point is that you get the RSS.com dude. Who made this is all jitty about how cool it is. And then his customers, actual customers. okay geo geo not yet it's all in there it's in there yeah yeah i see it it's in there i'm in this geo geo geo geo i am geo 30.2752011 comma minus nine or eight dot 8719843 and how far away are you from me Fredericksburg About four hours in my airplane I can't type that into Google What is OSM? I'm an OSM OpenStreetMap Oh, cool Yeah Finally, you're enjoying something. No, I am enjoying this debugging process. This is exactly how we have always done everything. Okay, you are 862 miles away from me. So I'm going to extend my search to 1,200 miles and say find podcasts near me, which is actually not a very accurate statement now that I've exerted it. None of this is near me. uh 138 miles what's the show we get to

17:21 do this all right i'm up to 347 i have my location my open street map everything is in everything is good but yet but i'm up to 613 miles no no let's keep going 658 707 i'm just gonna go to true fans i'm sure they support it yes you know you know that they do 862 miles okay we're in the ballpark now please hey true 860 miles Truefans.com is something different. That's interesting. Did it change? No, it's, I don't think it's, I think it's .fm. There we go. Oh, yeah, .fm. Truefans.com is, what is that?

18:09 Probably. Let me see what that is. Hmm. uh 2027 be the tailwind we get to what is this i say it's there i'm looking at it we get to do this it's right here in the list says it's 744 miles away from me okay fredericksburg gillespie county texas well how come i'm not seeing it online It was very, very strange. Matt, we'll see. Yep, links out to the map. Yep, there's Fredericksburg. Yeah, I see it. Now I see it, but it says, oh, okay, I see the problem. Apparently... This podcast made here. And I am literally, I'm literally five minutes from the church is 62 miles away from me. Well, it's a – Fredericksburg is a big area. It's a big town. I mean, you're just putting in Fredericksburg. You didn't give it the exact street address of the church. That would have been more accurate. But Fredericksburg is – no. You're almost – No.

19:22 No. No. 62 miles away, you're almost in Austin. So – I don't know why it has me. Well, where does it think? But it's using your browser location. Where does your browser think that it is? Well, how do I ask it that? Use the robot or something. Where are you? Let me go to maps. Let me see. Let me go to maps. Let's see what Google thinks I am. Google? Google? Ask Maps. What is this? Ask Maps? Oh, brother. More AI slob. Google crap. Yeah. Yeah. Uh... Well, it puts me... It puts me... I bet you it puts you somewhere goofy, like Austin. No, not at all. No, it puts me... Where are you getting this information? What do you mean? I'm just... From Google Maps?

20:14 Yeah, I'm just opening up Google Maps, and then it shows... What does it show me? I mean, it opened up Fredericksburg approximately where I am, so... I'm just wondering, like, yeah, it's if you deal. It's centered right here. This is it says I am a 30 dot three one one six two eight eight comma minus ninety eight eight eight three nine nine four eight. Ah, that's your problem. No, it's not. It should be a three three one four seven dot seven seven. Bingo. Bingo. Anyway, we just debug this in real time. That's clearly the problem.

20:54 No matter what you say, it's not 62 miles away. It's the lat-line triangulation hypothalamus inversion. That's your problem. Okay. Well, we're fixed now. Hmm. This is a beautiful product. It's a beautiful product. Yes, it is. Is the stream going down? Is it? Oh, it looks like it did go down for a minute. Yeah. It's back up. Yeah, it's back up. Okay. Yeah. Stuff happens. Anyway. Stuff happens. Radar.rss.io. Your results may vary due to road and weather conditions, but it's a beautiful product. It's a beautiful product.

21:39 Due to browser geolocation and static. Yeah. Okay. But it's great, though. I love it. I can't wait to see what else people make with this wonderful new endpoint. I guarantee you this was handcrafted line by line by Alberto in the way that somebody would coil a coffee mug on a – On a one of those clay spinner things. Anyway, I. Are you ingesting episode level geolocation? Oh, yeah. Okay. For sure. All right. We were doing that first before we did the channel level. Okay. Okay. And so all that stuff is in there. Okay. Actually, the part I had to build was the channel. Right. Location.

22:32 It's interesting, though, that it has to be channeled. That's not you. That's not you. That's not you. That's not you. No, I would assume that he's probably just going to, you know, add that later or something. Well, this is a new podcast. Or maybe this is a proof of concept. This is a new podcast app the way I see it. How come I can't play a podcast? Oh, good question. This is what I would be doing. Very good question. Well, I mean, you can click through the podcast index website, but we don't want to we don't want to be your player. No, no, we're not a good player. No, it's a player. We're not that either. We're not very good at that. This should be integrated into pod dot link. Daniel J. Lewis, stop it.

23:23 Just stop. What did he say? What did he say? He said, are you ingesting chapter level location information? Man, I've only got so many hours in the day, brother. Like, I'm lucky to have gotten out what I got out this week, which this is not – location is not the only location. thing that I provided to the world this week. No, what you provided to the world this week, an unbelievable, just an amazing... Now I'm not sure what you're about to say. You fixed a bug.

24:05 That not only did you fix it, but it was it was merged within like a week. Pretty quick. To a repo where there's a bunch of probably like – I don't want to say anything disparaging, but most of, you know, kind of like, you know, who are you, man? We know what we're doing over here. The WebKit people. And you want to explain this? Because this was merged with, and seriously, I think it was in a week or something. It's a little bit longer than that. It's a couple weeks. Explain the problem and how you fix it. Because this is a, you're right, it's a gift to the world. I provided the well it's July 30th so what three weeks yes I did provide a gift to the world in the form of a bug submission to the WebKit repository. So let me explain what was happening. So as part of the work we're doing with Godcaster, we were ingesting a lot of live 365 audio streams. And... The first issue that we had was getting the metadata out of the ICY interleave that happens in the – so these Live365 broadcasts a few different stream types. They do HLS as well, but – The

25:38 main one that most people ingest is the MP3 stream. And that stream is just... uh mp3 frames um you know in in an endless stream just so it's basically the it's essentially the same file format as the mp3 file itself and then you if you want to get metadata so like album art and uh, song title. Yeah. All the groovy stuff, the stuff, all the cool stuff looks good. Yeah. Yeah. If you want to get all that to display, then you have to, uh, you have to request it from the icy Y serve, sir, from the ice cast server. Um, And the way you do that is through a request is sending a header. along with the request of ICY-Metadata1. And so when you do that, the stream that you get back, the response, the byte stream response that you get back from the ICAST server will contain the metadata interleaved into the frames, the MP3 frames. All right, well... The problem with This the problem with the number one problem is cores. But wait a minute. It wasn't DNS because that's always the number one problem. But we ruled that one out. The number

27:09 two problem is cores. So cores, a C-O-R-S is cross origin resource sharing. And that means it's. It's a core part of the security principles that govern web browsers and how they operate. So for security, the main browser firewall against shenanigans is cross-origin. So you cannot execute code in one domain directly. That came from another domain unless it's permitted. Yes. By the server of that other domain. So you had the solution to allow this in certain trusted cases that was settled upon was CORS, C-O-R-S, cross-origin resource sharing. So a server can... Send A course or a course request. And if – excuse me – a client can send a CORS request, and if the server supports CORS, if it wants to allow its code to be touched by other domains, it can say, yes, this is fine. And it can – there's a whole protocol for how to respond to that with – in the response headers. Mm-hmm. So... The issue is... So cores by default

28:42 only responds with get requests. I believe by default, maybe post, but there's only a certain set of methods and headers that are sort of part that are part of like the base default. So a course request is allowed to think to do get and post and also by default and also. have certain base headers like range request, date, all the normal headers, content type, content disposition. If you add any headers in your course request that are not part of the standard set, you have to do a second call before you do that call to alert the browser of what this course request is going to be capable of sending. So if we want to send from our – this begins to get pretty complicated. No kidding. If we want to send – so think about this app, okay?

30:00 If this browser app wants to start playing a live 365 audio stream with metadata, it's The browser page code itself has to send a course request to... Because it's going to be sending this ICY metadata header, which is nonstandard. And you want to display it in the player, which is on the webpage. I'll just help you around here. Exactly. So if you're going to send that nonstandard ICY metadata header, you have to send what's called a CORS pre-flight request. Pre-flight? Why is it pre-flight? Because it's before your main request. Why is it before your main request? Because it's going to check with the server ahead of time to see... If that header, if those headers you're requesting are supported by cores. Ah, okay. I got you. So headers, and this is just as an aside, headers can be dangerous. Some people may not realize this.

31:13 But headers themselves can be dangerous in certain circumstances. Buffer overflows can happen that way. Dave, hold on a second. I've got a buzz. Are you eating chocolate again? No, no. No chocolate love today. Take the chocolate love away, man. Okay, you're good. Okay. So headers themselves can be dangerous. And that's why cores limits them and call. And so you have to go. You're like, OK, I'm going to call 365. I'm going to call live 365 with the IC metadata header. When you do that, the browser is going to send a course preflight request. Right. And that uses the HTTP options method. Wow. So the options method is sent to the destination host with the request headers that you're asking for. The server then will either deny it or respond with the appropriate header saying, yeah, this is fine. That is just standard behavior. Right. As part of the core's documentation, I think, What it says is that the body of the response of this options pre-flight response, the body can be – a text description

32:45 Of some sort, like like a header allowed or this is fine or just some piece of text. Here's what I think happened. You put in this you put in this PR, you put in this pull request and the guys who are maintaining would like to this guy sounds so knowledgeable. Just merge it. Just merge it already. That is not. I promise you that's not what happened. Merge it in. I'm sure this is exactly right. Whatever Dave Jones is saying, merge it. Yeah, that's – whatever happened, that's not it. Okay, so you fixed it. Well, let me finish. Let me finish. We're going super nerd here.

33:29 The members of the board are falling asleep. No, this – even Eric PP said this is way too complicated. Yeah. So – oh, he said, what happens if you just throw the headers at the server without the options check? Well, it's the browser that's enforcing this. Yeah, and that's Safari specifically, right? Well, you can't – all of them. Oh, okay. You can't stop – It from sending this. If you if you have nonstandard headers, it's going to check. It's going to send a pre-flight request no matter what you do. So you have to deal with this. And the so what was happening was every time you send the request, every time we sent this request.

34:15 It would work. First, we had to get Live 365 to fix – to add cores properly. And props to those people over there at Live 365. Props to them, man. That was beautiful. And I love that they just went, oh, yeah, okay, we'll work on this. And they didn't quite do it at the first time. Then the second time, like, oh, okay, we'll fix it. They did it. That was really – I was impressed by – that was the internet of the old days, like 90s. Hey, man. Oh, so much. Your stuff is broken. Okay, I'll fix it. That was beautiful. And they're not a small company. But the two attempts to fix it actually is – is part of this story. That's what caused us to find this bug. Exactly. So did you credit them on the PR? No. Absolutely. Oh, you did? No, I did. Yes, I did. I totally did. Yes, I said. Well, if you call credit saying that it was their fault. Give me some credit, man. Give me some credit. It was their fault. I just need some credit.

35:16 The – okay, so the first time – You've got me giggling now. Did Adam even read the PR? Of course he didn't read the PR. He read it. You know what I did? I said, robot, give me a summary of what just happened here. So – The issue – the first – so what I did was I contacted them and I said, look, I can't – it was weird because they – the way their system works is they have a sort of a front door node. I mean this is typical CDN behavior. They had like a front door – A node that you would hit, so something.live3c5.com or FM or whatever it is, you would hit that trying to get the audio stream, and that node, that server would respond properly with a course response saying, yeah, you're good. Hmm. The next thing it does is it 302 redirects you to an edge node on their CDN. So you get bounced to a different server.

36:22 And that's where it failed. That server would deny the course request. Right. Got it. And so this to us looks like. That's exactly what I read in the pull request. You did not. So this... So what we told them was like, hey, look, this looks like maybe a misconfiguration on your part because you clearly are allowing cores in the front door. But then when you bounce over to the actual stream box, it's killing it. And whoever I talked to said, oh, let me – Let me check with the engineer team And they were like yeah We've got it fixed now And so they – what they did – and now this part is total guesswork on me, and Paul thinks this is the case as well, but we don't have any way of knowing this.

37:17 I think what they did was they just cloned – And the – not clone. They aliased all the possible – Oh, to the main server. Routes. Yeah. Yeah, so what they did was they like – they made get, post, all the – basically all the different methods of HTTP respond the same way. Mm-hmm. So if you think about this for a second – If. If you have a box that responds over HTTP to a GET request for audio streams... When I send you a GET request, it's going to begin streaming MP3, endless MP3 bytes to me. If I also make that same get request... Respond that route on the server if I make that same route respond also to options request or head request or any other HTTP method. All of those methods are just going to begin to get the same thing. They're going to get a stream of MP3 bytes. So they just aliased options method to respond in the same way that a get request responds. Which could be a security issue.

38:50 I mean, maybe. I just threw that out there. I have no idea what I'm talking about. I mean, it's possible, but I don't. But here's the confusing part. So when he came back and he said, yeah, it's fixed. We got you covered. I ran the tests, the little demo to check all the things. Yeah, you even gave them a little demo app to check. You're so good, man. I saw it. So I ran that, and I was like, okay, yeah, it works. I checked it on Chrome. I'm like, this is great. And I checked it on Android. It looks great. And on iPhone, it just crapped out. Bombed. It just crapped. And I was like, wait, this something doesn't make sense. And I could not figure this out. And so I had to go – I had to get into the clawed session, and I'm like, look, I'm trying to play this thing on the iPhone. I cannot figure out why this thing is not working. And so it starts just hitting it with different things, you know, like it, It starts following the chain over and over and over.

40:03 And it finally came back and it said – It said it basically said this is strange because when I send an options method request to the CDN edge node. It responds with a 200, but then it also starts streaming audio. Ooh. Is that when it said, ugh, I confuse myself. Let me do this carefully. No, that was it. I love those. I love those little stupid things. This was not it, though. But he said, and I was like, wait, that's probably not good, I guess. Well, it turns out that Chrome and Firefox... They... Properly, and I say properly in very loose quotes because this is actually not very well specified in the CORS documentation. So this really doesn't come down to a matter of WebKit Safari not following the core spec because this actually is ambiguous in the spec. Hmm. It's more of an issue of it's just... Probably the best behavior because if you don't ignore the body, what was happening was Safari was properly sending the course preflight request, and the request was replying with an MP3 string. Not what we wanted. And what that was doing, that was dead-hanging Safari. It would

41:36 never move past the pre-flight. So the page itself would just freeze. It could not move past that. Whereas Chrome, what it does, and Firefox and other browsers, as soon as they see the 200 or the 202 come back. They're good. They move on. They're like, good. They completely ignore the body. They don't try to ingest it. Is a dead-hanging safari, is that a mission trip I can take to Africa? It's a ride at Disney World. You're sharp today, Dave Jones. I like it. I like this Dave Jones. Yeah. I got my chocolate. It's not Choco Love, though. No Choco Love. No Choco Love money back.

42:26 So, yeah, so that was the bug report. The bug report was basically you're getting hung up. By the sir that if you want to boil it down to what the problem is, the problem is Safari was letting the server dictate its behavior. Yeah. And you get that's no good. You can't do that. Right. And so they fixed it. And this will help other people, not just Live 365 and browsers? This will be helpful for other applications in the future or current? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that's great. I think what's – I could not find this bug reported anywhere. Clearly it wasn't because it got accepted and merged. So I couldn't find this bug reported anywhere anywhere.

43:11 And the – so I think probably what happens is people just – it was such a confusing thing to watch that it was hard to diagnose, and people probably just figured out a workaround or just made do with never fixing it. Yeah. But the product that we're building specifically for this, though, that was like a complete deal killer. It was going to be very hard to work around that. So we really had to fix this. And this concludes Dave's Bug Report of the Day. Dave. of the month. Of the month, baby. Thank you, Eric PP.

43:55 And then, of course, you introduced the bug into Podping and ate up everybody's RAM. That was great. RAM is so cheap right now. It shouldn't matter. Wow. Just throw more at it. Just throw more. We'll get there. I got it. I'm not even halfway done yet. What? You got more? Yeah, I did more this week. Oh, no, I thought you had more on the on the Coors Report. The Coors Report. There's another great podcast title. Welcome to the Coors Report. The most boring podcast ever. The Coors Report. The Coors Report. Okay. What else you got, man? What else did you do? Oh, well, I... A podcast person tag. Wait before you get there. Okay. Pausing.

44:50 Thank you. Thank you, John Spurlock. You know, Spurlock just I always when the first thing I do in the morning, I wake up. It's like, let me go see what what Spurlock put to what he posted about, except when he when he's going through like that. Here's all the Apple. What is the what is Apple's IDE? What is that called? Oh, Xcode. Yeah. Here's all the Xcode diffs. Like, no, no. That's horrible stuff. No, no, no. That is horrible. That is like that just that's a pollution of my browser. But he posted a link. To the, what is it, the ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English. which you can tell your robot to use, and it has improved my quality of life just with a magnitude. And I'm so grateful for that. Please describe this. Well, if you've been using Claude Code as your robot, which I do, um... And Claude is just, it's so chatty and it's like, I found the smoking gun. This is the load-bearing issue we need to look at. But in my honest opinion, hey, just say the word. I'll go and fix that. Wait, I have the full picture now. You're right to push back. This shapes the entire conversation. I

46:21 was so sick of that nonsense. Gated? Everything's gated. Well, the gates I kind of like because I have a lot of – Load bearing. Well, the gates are important for me because gates is like, well, this thing doesn't pass the gate. And then I know what it is. Okay, so I understand what the gate is doing. The gate means you don't go to the next step. I'm okay with that. But just this on and on and on, I just... And every single time I'd say, please, just speak in simple English. Don't talk like an agent. And they're right. My bad. And then it writes, let me record this to memory so I don't do it again. Five minutes later. It's back to, but when you...

47:11 See, what is the... Claude, the right – wait a minute. What is it? There's – here. You post into Claude, only report to me an ASD-STE100 simplified technical English. And you tell it to make a memory of this. It does it. It does it. And now it's like it's still chatty, but it's not as annoying. It's a big difference. I feel it's a big, big difference. I'm happy with it. Thank you, John Spurlock. Let's see. I'll just post that at ASDSTE100. Dash, dash, dash, STE100. We have to say make a memory of it. You got to say make a memory of it. European Union trademark.

47:57 I don't know what you're looking at. I'm on the – they got a homepage. They do? Oh, yeah. Yeah, asd-ste100.org. Yeah. Simplified standards for technical documentation. Yes. Hey, request your free official copy. This is nice. This seems very European to me. Well, I don't know what it is, but it is stop my robot from spewing out verbal diarrhea. Very, very pleased with it. Very pleased. Yeah. I like how part of the definition of this thing, I can't – you sent me this, and I looked it up. It's a fact. Let's see what their fact is.

48:40 Fact. What is ASD, SDE 100 Simplified Technical English? It says something about the dictionary. Approved words that a writer can use. The approved words were selected because they were simple, easy to recognize. In general, each word has only one meaning and is approved with only one part of speech. Nice. Nice. For example, to fall has the approved meaning of to move down by the force of gravity and not to decrease. I don't know about – this seems like a stretch to me, but if it makes the robot less stupid, then fine. Oh, yeah. You can always undo it. Yeah, sure, yeah. Maybe, maybe there for every standard, there's always a competing standard. So I wonder what the competing standard to the ASD SDE 100 is.

49:32 Speaking of what happened to what happened to Dave Weiner? Something happened to Dave Weiner. What do you mean happened? Uh, he like blew up half his stuff. Yeah. I think that's what happened. Is that because of Claude? Yeah, probably. Claude wrote test file. Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. He blew away like important things. I have no idea how useful these things would be if it destroyed stuff and deployed projects with real users. Uh, It will do it. That's what it does. Yep. Which brings me to some things that I've been working on. Okay. But wait, there's more. Ew. The well, I'll we'll talk about the person tag in a second. So one thing I've been doing, I'm not I'm not going to actually say what the project is. Yeah. Alex Gates, he spotted a little bit of it. But I'm trying to challenge myself to not really use AI more because I use it every day in various ways. Oh, I know what this is. You deployed a Linode and had Claude do something. Yeah. No, no, no, not Claude. Not Claude.

50:47 Oh, pie. Pie? Pie. Pie. Yes. So. Which according to ASD is a tasty dessert treat. There's only one meaning. There's only one meaning. Apple pie. Yes. So one thing I've not done much of because it just terrifies me. Because you don't live like me on the edge. I'm not a YOLO kind of fellow. Oh, I'm not YOLO. Uh-uh. I'm not YOLO. What would you use? What's a better term then for the way that you handle your robot? Dangerous would be the term. Dangerous. That's worse than YOLO. Dangerous. That's intentionally sketchy. Completely dangerous, yes. Right. reckless.

51:37 Reckless, yes. Reckless is good. Hashtag reckless. I'm like, Gordon, go ahead. Deploy to customers. I'm good. It works. The interaction between you two is really funny because you're like, wait, wait, you put this live on a customer? He's like, yeah. And you're like, you weren't supposed to do that, and then like five minutes. later you're like, oh, I'm fixing it. Don't worry about it. It's all good. We're doing it live. You're like, hey, that actually worked out. Let's keep going. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Okay. So what I did was I... I created a Linode VM in an account that had nothing else in it. Okay. Oh, wow. So this thing is in a silo. It's walled off. It's siloed. Yes. It's gated. It's behind a gate.

52:29 It's gated. It's gated. So I did that, and then I've had this idea for a project forever. I mean, for like I don't know, three years now. Oh, wow. It's always been in the back of my mind, and I've always kind of thought, hmm, I wonder if that would work. And I actually started writing it before AI was even a thing. or LLMs or even a thing. And so maybe, I don't know, 2022 or something. And I had some stuff written, and I was like, you know, this would be a really good project to test out like a fully autonomous agent setup. Because that's something I just really never do. The way I use AI is I have this – I have – a problem that I can't solve, and I go and I get some help with it. and that's because I just don't trust it. Are you familiar with the Claude setting that is basically go ahead, do anything you want, live dangerously?

53:44 That will never happen. I'll never do that. It's awesome. No, no. Well, that's what pie does out of the box. Oh, okay, good. Yeah, that's basically it in a nutshell. It has no guardrails. And so I thought, OK, well, let me just point this thing at this repo that I've been having cities that has sitting here for years. And so this is Pi connected to – what I use Pi for mostly is podcast index-related things, so helping me build the model – The local model for on the DGX Spark for classification, spam classification. It runs the classifier. So it's basically anything podcast index related is usually I don't typically do clawed stuff with that. And sometimes the only project I've really done on that is – help with that is Podping because I just didn't understand Eero enough. So I've had – I did that.

54:58 But everything really like core podcast index related usually goes through the local DGX with Pi. And I thought, okay. I want to try out this new Quinn 3.827B model. It's supposed to be the new hotness. And I also want to get a feeling for just like autonomous agent stuff. So I threw the 27B model onto the DGX, and I just aimed pi at this repo of this project that I've been brainstorming for years and said – Here's a VM in Linode. Here's an SSH key. Go try to build this thing. And I was just like, I'm just going to step back and go have lunch and come back later and just see what it did.

55:54 This thing worked for like three hours. Wow. Non-stop. Chugging non-stop. Didn't ask you to... Is this okay? Can I move ahead? None of them. Never asked me a single question. That's cool. Yeah, I love it. Just chug, chug, chug, chug it SSH into the server. It started launching stuff. It started doing like it started creating accounts. I mean, like it's horrifying. It's all it's all horrifying. Creating accounts on the server. Yes Yes To run things under As non-root And all this kind of stuff You know And I have it That's great Sort of I have it sort of like Loosely attached To the podcast index That social Mastodon And so I saw it posting stuff DMs And I'm like – I'm just like trying not to lose my lunch. And so – but it's been a fun experience. And I'll talk about what it actually is later if it ever gets to some sort of like state that is usable. It's all just a fun project, and I want to see what these things – do and how they handle stuff just it's just learning it's a learning tool it's fun to watch i agree it's super fun to watch and and i can tell you this it's like it gets so when it comes to the podcast index such as the mastodon thing the activity pub parts of it Um, It stopped a couple

57:28 of times and was like – it was having trouble getting that right, like server – excuse me, Mastodon HTTP signing, and it was like – it looks like you're – It looks like the Mastodon server is just – it's not set up right. You need to contact the administrator. And I'm like, this is BS. That's why I said – I was like, look. I'm surprised it didn't send me an email. Man, yeah. It has no email access. I'm not that crazy. But I said, look. Go here's a here's a repository. And I pointed it at the podcast index activity pub bridge. I said, go look at this repo. and learn all the right ways to do this. And it did. And it said, oh, you know what? You're right. I was doing it wrong. I'm like, yeah, I know you were doing it wrong. My bad. My bad. Yeah, my bad. My bad. And that's all handwritten code over there, baby. Yeah. So, yeah, but it's been a fun. Yeah, it's been fun. It's chugging along on something right now. I got no idea. The fun part about Pi is, is that you can see all of the thinking that's happening. So all the reasoning mode? Yeah. Which all gets hidden from you in Claude.

58:48 No, you can do Control-O and it shows up. But that shows you tool calling, but it doesn't show you the reasoning. Control-B. Control B shows you the chain of reasoning? I think so. Maybe not. I don't know. Okay, I'll check. I thought they hid that by default, like maybe a few months ago. Possible. Possible. But you see the thinking, and I like that because you can – when you see it going off the rails, you can stop it. Yes, exactly. And in Claude, you just type stop, all uppercase, and it goes, okay, waiting for input. It stops right away. Yeah. Yeah, so anyway, it's just fun. It's a fun project, and I'll throw it out there at some point, if it works. But it got me thinking, though. I mean, like, if... It is good to have like this one like throwaway environment. Oh, yeah.

59:47 That's not important where you can really just let something loose and see, you know, it's not going to hurt anything, you know. And here is Adam's begging of the day. Begging once again, could you please put a big button for funding tag on your podcast apps? A big one, like right there in the episode. Put it right there, right underneath the picture. What prompted that? Because what prompts it is our own app. Every single time I play something in the Godcaster app, there's a big button, a big blue button that says whatever's in the feed, like, support the show. It's right there. It's right there. And it's just calling out to me, and I love it.

1:00:34 Yeah, true. I love it. I know. Did anybody move any further with the splits in Stripe or anything like that? I have not kept up with it. I haven't seen anything about it. I mean, Daniel was doing stuff. Nah, he's doing location tags in chapters, super chapters. No, I thought he was doing the funding thing. I don't know. People are doing stuff. That's what I thought. Yeah. I think it would be great. Just saying. I added a new person endpoint, though, in the API. Okay. What can we do with it? Um, Well, let me get the name of the endpoint first. That would be helpful, wouldn't it? Yeah, because I can't wait to ping it.

1:01:27 don't just ping it request it Daniel J. Lewis says I'm figuring out the stripe splits it's unfortunately not as easy as I expected alright I got you brother I'm going to tell my robot to look at it come on robot fix it Uh-oh, Linode's chat.podcastindex.org emergency maintenance. Uh-oh. she's going down she's going down hard did you just get an email about that Yeah. I'm trying to find the end point. Oh, here it is. Okay, so the new API endpoint in the index is episodes slash by person. Oh, that's cool. And so you can give it a Q equals and then the name of the person.

1:02:20 So let me – With spaces? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You are URL encoded. Do rob space do D E W. See if he shows up on no agenda from yesterday. Rob D.E.W. Let me open Postman. The postman always rings twice. Old movie. That's Jack Nicklaus, right? Yep. Okay, so here we go. So, ROB space DEW. Mm-hmm. He already has 15 karma points in the boardroom. That's amazing. I love that. Yeah, episode 1896, just do it. Nice. Nice.

1:03:05 And it gives you – so here's the – let me post this. Copy. I'll put this in the boardroom. That's going to be the... That was fast, too. Was that an actual database query? Nice. It is. Yeah, it goes straight. So it gives you the... It gives you the episode... And the Jack Nicholson, I'm sorry, not Nicholas, Jack Nicholson. It gives you the episode metadata and it attaches the person object to it. So the person tag object to it as well. So you get it all back in one sort of big blob. Copy that. Yes, PP monitor is down, baby. Wait, what? ppmonitor.podcastindex.org. It's down.

1:04:02 It's down. Down hard? Down, yes. Oh, that's the emergency maintenance. It's running on chat.podcastindex.org. That's why. Wow, okay. Yeah, they're emergency migration to a new host. Wow. Wow. That's Linode. Yeah, we're down hard. Down hard, people. All right. Oh, this is cool. I see it here. Oh, I don't have my authentication header value set. Oh, you got to fire a postman, man. You're buzzing. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not doing anything. You're buzzing. You're buzzing. Whenever you do that, it seems to help. What, shake the ice? Yeah. There we go. All right. I'll just shake it every now and then. Why is Postman not responding? Postman. Postman. I don't know where it went.

1:04:58 Yeah, so that's – so the person tag – is we... There's two... We've always had search by person. And that's just like a raw text search that we're sort of munging on the back end to get it to recognize people's names. But that's just searching the text, the descriptions and the titles. This is just a text-based search. This is actually – zeroing in on the title of the person's name in the podcast person tag in the feed. So now you kind of have two ways to search for people in the index now. Nice. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I was asked for it by somebody, and I was like, you know, that's a great idea. Let's go ahead and do that as fast as possible because that data is in there. Yeah. But it's, again, just because of time constraints, I never finished making an endpoint that would make it usable. So it was like this, you know, just half finished thing. I'm like, okay, well, this is an easy win, you know. You're amazing. That's not true.

1:06:18 You're an amazing man, Derek Jones. Yes, you are. It is an honor and a privilege to work with you. It is. Oh, well, I agree with that. I love working with you guys. Simmer down, Scooby. No, I'm talking about you, not me. I agree. I am a privilege to work with. Sorry, misunderstood. No, it's – I love – I love working on stuff like this because it's – when people ask for things, that's something I do when I – it just got weird. It did get weird. No, Alan, you're amazing. Oh, brother. Yeah. I love working on stuff like this because people ask for things and you realize – whole things you missed you know when they say hey how about this could you give me this i'm like oh you know what why did i never think about that yeah that's cool there's a power of it's just the power of like social you know community stuff community it's about community We have such a good little community. We do have a good community.

1:07:35 This community has been going for six years, man. And we never had a fight. Not a single one. Not a single fight. It's fantastic. No one blew up. No one shut down the repo. No one deleted the repo. I've seen it all. I've seen it all. Paul Therod on Windows Weekly this week. He used a phrase that made me chuckle. I was laughing out loud in the car. He called some – I forgot what product he was. Maybe it was like some old Microsoft product. He said it was briefly excellent. I just thought that was a funny thing. Briefly excellent. Well, that's most software these days is briefly excellent, it seems. Yeah. It perfectly describes the world we live in. Yeah, no kidding. Everything is briefly excellent. Yeah, it really, truly is. I was talking to a buddy of mine who works at Databricks. You familiar with Databricks? I've heard of that. Yeah, Databricks. Yeah, what is that? Data center company, right? Well, he's a sales guy, so he gave me the spiel, and my eyes glazed over, rolled up inside my forehead. I'm like, stop it. As much as the Coors conversation we had?

1:08:50 No, because I understand the Coors problem. They're like a middleware somehow. They protect your data as you onboard into their silo. Anyway, and he was telling me something that – that you and Paul were discussing, not Paul Theriot, but Paul Bailey, that all this... Um, Enterprise level software, this just shipping full of bugs and crap. Yes. And the company where you work at depends on this type of enterprise software. Well, we all do. I mean, you know, well, yeah, to some degree. I mean, if you know, it's a huge problem. And I think it's directly related to speed of code coming out of these agents.

1:09:50 I just think people are not thinking carefully. Thank you. So, The problem is, You know, I've told you I've been reading this book, The Master and His Emissary. No, I don't think you told me that. No, it's been a few weeks. I told you. It's by a guy named Ian McGilchrist. And it's about the hemisphere, the brain hemispheres, the right and left hemispheres. Oh, yes, of course. Of course we talked about this, yes. Mm-hmm. You know, it's going to be very difficult to... Give broad strokes on a book like this because it's just such a sweeping type thing. It's so deep, man. It's deep. It's dense.

1:10:46 Dense. It's super dense. Dense. But I think what we have built – When it comes to LLMs, um, The... What we've essentially built is a left hemisphere. That stands on its own without the guardianship of the right hemisphere of the right hemisphere. Um, The, you know, there's a very, I think maybe we talked about before, like the brain structure, the left and right hemisphere, they're joined by the corpus callosum, that big bundle of neuronal cords that separate. Connect them together. Yeah. And there is a theory that... One of the purposes of that corpus callosum bundle of nerves is not to facilitate communication, but Always, but in certain terms to prohibit. It's a gate. It's a gate. Yeah, it's gating. It's gating. And you can't tell this from brain scans. You can't see, okay, you just see activity. You can't tell what the activity is. So you can't tell if it's like stopping something from happening

1:12:17 or allowing something to happen or what? And so this idea that So there's an idea that there may be sort of an adversarial relationship between the hemispheres. Sure, I believe that. That sounds right, sure. By necessity. And that without that adversarial relationship. You delete your repo. You, yeah, you hard, you hard down your server. Mm hmm. And so because the left hemisphere is really – it sees the world in terms of – the picture it has of the world is built up from parts. It sees – it's what we – It's focused on tool use and seeing – building its view of the world up from pieces. But the world's not really built that way.

1:13:25 Well, hold on a second. If true, and I'll take it at face value, wouldn't we be enhancing and sharpening our right hemispheric skills when watching the world? The AI do stuff. For sure. Which is not a bad thing. Right. So that's – I think that's one of the reasons that I enjoy why we were talking about a while ago, watching the reasoning chain that's happening as this thing is doing its deal. Because I'm sort of – Being the overseer and trying to spot things because I'm engaging the right hemisphere, which sees the world as a whole, not built up from parts. It sees – It sees the world as a fully functioning system in itself.

1:14:25 And... That's why one of the premises of the book is that The right hemisphere needs to be in control. There's this old idea of – we call them left and right hemispheres nowadays, but they used to be called the major and the minor hemisphere. Hmm. And if you think about it in that context, the right hemisphere needs to be the major hemisphere. The left hemisphere really is a tool because it has no awareness – of the world as a whole. It just sees pieces. And I think what has happened is we've, with LLMs, we've built essentially a standalone left hemisphere And when you let it run the show, you really do end up with very bad outcomes. Dead. You can wind up dead. Yes. Interesting.

1:15:22 Yeah, because you have no – there's no – There's no adversary there that's pushing back and saying, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, no, no, you don't understand. What's the name of this book again? It's called The Master and His Emissary. I'm having trouble sleeping, so I want to make sure I ask. You will not sleep with this book, I promise. It's actually a page turner. Oh, it's a page turner. Now, this is a condensed version. This is of a larger work that he did that will put you to sleep. But this is the sort of accessible version of this material. And yeah, I think that when you – one of the hallmarks of the left hemisphere is that it lies. It lies all the time.

1:16:09 And if you enjoy this type of deep analysis from Dave Jones, along with his extremely detailed bug report, please support Podcast Index. that was a good I'm segwaying I'm segwaying us out golly it's like 10 till 2 holy cow where did the time go uh Coors Yeah, I'm sorry. No, actually, no. I apologize to everyone in the boardroom. No, no. It was the location tag, I think, is what ate up 50% of the show. Probably. Yeah, that's true. That's your fault. That was you. It's completely my fault. Not Alberto. It was my fault. That's right.

1:16:55 If you would like to support the index, the entire project is funded by the people who support it. And this is just a catch up between Dave, myself and the boardroom. Now, we do not we're not funded at all by any of this. Only the index is for the machines that run it. And we feel it's a very valuable project. It's been going for six years. We hope to keep it running forever. So support us by going to. podcastindex.org. Now at the bottom, you will see a big red donate button and you can support us with PayPal. Can people still support us with boosts? Are we still receiving boosts? Yes. Oh, we're 100%. And have you put my, I guess I'd have to see myself on the splits here. It's kind of complicated. What? What are you looking for? I'm looking to see. Wow. Okay.

1:17:46 I'm seeing. Here we go. I'm looking. I see a boost here. Uh, no, that's because my, uh, my heli, my heli pad is still channelless. So I can't see any boost that came in now, except I do see Martin Lindeskog, who gave us a row of ducks, because it came through as a true fan's comment. Which is kind of nice. Have you not opened channels to anywhere else? No. Well, you should try doing that. Yes, thank you. But the whole start nine shuts down and then everything breaks. And there's no way – it doesn't – It's the tour. It's the tour part of start nine that fails every couple of weeks. And it's not something I've been able to figure out.

I am going to get this book because the more I think about it, the more I see the issues in society. Do you – are you somebody who likes to read on paper or do you do audiobooks? I do audiobooks, but I enjoy paper books. I've never been able to really get into Kindle or anything like that. If anybody likes the audiobooks, likes audiobooks. The narrator for this book on Audible is very, very good. It's very easy to listen to and a nice pace. It's just a very good listen. Yeah. Nice for walking the dog. My favorite audio book. is the kid stays in the picture. Oh, I don't know this one. Let me look at it. Robert Evans. Robert Evans. Why does that name sound like that?

1:27:38 Robert Evans produced The Godfather, Love Story. He produced so many Hollywood movies you would know. Okay. And he narrated it himself. And it's brash. It's funny. He was married to Ali McGraw. I mean, it's a boomer book for sure. but hey everyone likes Godfather there's something about his reading style that just it drew me, it's like six hours it just drew me in and I barely even stopped listening to it when I listened to it the first time, it was so good It makes a difference. A good read makes a difference. I just got it on Audible, so I will queue it up. Did you get it with one of your free 12 credits, which always seem to expire? My son has always had really bad dyslexia, and so he's a good reader now. But through school, we always supplemented what he had, his reading with Audible. So we always had like the max subscription of Audible. And so we – we were like – And it's still going. I haven't even discontinued it yet because we have like a thousand Audible books in there, man. Every single thing you can think of. So many credits. You got created, man. You got created. You got created. You got created. All right, everybody. Thank you for
