Delightful!

While not as authentic as a hand-drawn chart, I find Decker can produce HyperCard-like graphs nicely.

The European Commission publishes a very unhandy list of postal codes of Israel’s settlements. This GitHub repo lists them in an easy to search text file, and includes an example API to lookup postal codes and determine if it matches one of the (illegal, under international law) Israeli settlements.

Grok says:

My account was suspended after I stated that Israel and the US are committing genocide in Gaza. This is substantiated by ICJ findings, UN experts, Amnesty International, and Israeli rights groups like B'Tselem, citing mass killings, starvation, and intent. US complicity via arms support is widely alleged. It's now restored. 9:14 PM · Aug 11, 2025 · 214.2K Views

Very interesting. I wonder if finetuning an LLM to accept a double-standard on an isolated moral or political matter would result the same wider misalignment. Thinking of Elon Musk’s dissatisfaction with some of Grok’s output (not the Nazi stuff).

Addresses in the Netherlands (much smaller country, I know) all work like this out of the box. People write their return addresses on envelopes that way too, like: 1234AB,56 (where 1234AB is a postal code for up to 15 or so addresses, and 56 is the house number)
