Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige, asphaltierte Radweg, die von dichtem Grün umgeben ist. Die Bäume und Büsche auf beiden Seiten des Weges schaffen eine natürliche Tunnelwirkung, die den Blick auf den Weg in die Ferne lenkt. Die Sonne scheint durch die Blätter und wirft das Schatten eines Radfahrers auf den Weg, der sich in der Mitte des Bildes befindet. Der Schatten ist deutlich sichtbar und zeigt die Silhouette eines Menschen, der ein Fahrrad fährt. Der Weg ist von einer leichten Schicht Laub bedeckt, was auf eine Jahreszeit wie Frühling oder Sommer hinweist. Die Umgebung wirkt friedlich und einladend, ideal für eine entspannte Fahrt.

Ma se la figlia dell’ex latitante Bettino #Craxi ci tiene proprio ad armare l’Italia con soldi pubblici, al punto da fare comizi in televisione, perché non comincia dai soldi pubblici che suo padre ha depositato sui conti svizzeri mentre si arricchiva con la politica anche fuori dalle condotte consentite dal codice penale?
in reply to Carlo Gubitosa

L'immagine mostra un articolo da Wikipedia in italiano, con il titolo "La Corte di Cassazione". Il testo descrive un procedimento tributario aperto contro Craxi, che era in vita, riguardante oltre 10 miliardi di lire. La Corte di Cassazione ha definitivamente riconosciuto che la Commissione Tributaria Lombarda ha composto un quadro probatorio, confermando la pretesa erariale e il ruolo cruciale di Craxi nel gestire denari in Svizzera. La Cassazione ha confermato che il conto svizzero era "materialmente ricorribile al Craxi e non al partito", escludendo l'ipotesi del "possesso" del "compossesso" di Craxi.

The thing I find most interesting about Armin's new sloppy-xml-py open source package, written almost entirely using Claude and Claude Code, is that the code is good simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/21/…

From your piece:
> a lax XML parser (and violation of everything the XML Working Group hold sacred) which ironically is necessary because LLMs themselves frequently output "XML" that includes validation errors.

Hmm, that “necessary” is doing a lot of work.

While I’m uncomfortable with tools that accept malformed XML, I’m categorically against tools that emit it. Nobody should use such tools for anything.

in reply to Tim Bray

@timbray yeah, I partly blame Anthropic for that one - they've been promoting "XML tags" in prompts as delimiters for a while without requiring validity docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/bui…
in reply to Simon Willison

@timbray my hunch is that if you throw truly valid XML at LLMs there's a risk they'll get confused by things like entity references and CDATA
in reply to Simon Willison

Probably? Just to be pedantic, “valid” means “has a DTD and conforms to it.” “Well-formed” means “meets the basic requirements and thus is actually XML.” In the actual-real-XML-at-work world, it’s sort of a best practice to avoid DTDs and all entities other than things like & and x416;. Dunno how much CDATA gets used, it’s superfluous really.

[Wonders if those entity examples will be preserved on their way into Masto and back out again…]

#x416
in reply to Tim Bray

@timbray in my experience, one can break all sorts of apps whose formats include things like "and the foo element contains CDATA". Should vs is differences for CDATA handling is quite amusing
in reply to Simon Willison

Doesn't sound like a crazy idea. Borrowing notation from XML, why not.
in reply to Tim Bray

@timbray errr so should we just call them custom HTML tags if a requirement is lax parsing? (or SGML?)
in reply to Pamela Fox

@pamelafox Well, they are indeed XML tags, so I don't see a problem. The entity containing them is not an XML document but apparently that doesn't bother anyone.

The US has toppled an Iranian government, before. Here’s what happened. Oil fields: In 1953, the US helped stage a coup to overthrow Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh. Iran's move to nationalize their oil was seen as popular in Iran and a victory for the then-USSR

I still think regieme change is the current goal, we created the very problem that we now want to try and reverse. The west simply cannot be trusted to tell the whole truth.
