@rick.omg.lol's statuses. Sticking out like a sore thumb in Japan since 1987! 日本語もOK ⚁ Founder, Co-RD eSolia. ❤️ family life with Maru the Shiba, coding, hiking, jogging, calisthenics | Microblog, Tech log
This morning at about 5:30 I drove Maru to the big park he likes for his walk. FM Yokohama had a fishing report on, which went into great detail about what fish people are catching on what vessel, how large the catch is, what bait or lures are working and so on. It was fascinating, and had some jokey moments too - caught 20 mackerel? Great but the problem is now you gotta clean 'em! I never realized this kind of news was a thing.

3 months agoThere is a white canvas shoe sitting in the shoe-rack grid at the entrance of almost every Japanese primary school — a wall of small cubbies, roughly 25 cm on a side, one slot per child. The kid arrives, takes off their street shoes, slides them into their named cubby, pulls on the canvas pair that was waiting there, and walks upstairs to class. At the end of the day they swap back, and the canvas pair goes right back into the same cubby. The canvas…
3 months ago日本の小学校の下足箱（入口の壁に並ぶ、児童ひとりに一枠ずつ割り当てられた約25cm四方のマス目）には、ほぼ必ず白いキャンバスの靴が並んでいる。生徒は朝登校すると、街で履いてきた靴を脱いで自分のマスに入れ、そこに入っていたキャンバスの靴に履き替え、教室に向かう。下校時には履き替えて、キャンバスの靴を同じマスに戻す。この靴は上履きと呼ばれ、素材そのものにはズックというカタカナの名前がついている。カタカナで書かれているということは、外来語であることを示している。 ℹ️
そのとおり、外来語だ。遠い海路を経て、オランダ語の doek（ドーク、意味は「布」）に由来している。17世紀、オランダ商人が出島経由で織物を持ち込み、その同じ単語は2世紀後、英語に渡ってダック（duck）キャンバスの語源にもなった。綿、キャンバス、ひとつのオランダ語。この糸が、アムステルダムの港から子どもの上履きまで、一本につながっている。そして日本の靴の物語は、まさにここから始まる。

AI crawlers — Gemini, GPT, Claude, Perplexity — are reading your site constantly, and they'd rather parse markdown than HTML. Markdown means cleaner context, fewer tokens, cheaper inference for them, which translates (via the economics of who pays for those tokens) into more efficient use of everyone's budget. If an agent is going to summarize your page anyway, giving it markdown directly means it spends its token budget on your…
3 months agoAIクローラー（Gemini、GPT、Claude、Perplexityなど）は絶えずサイトを読みにきており、HTMLよりMarkdownのほうを好む。Markdownのほうが文脈がクリーンで、トークン数が少なく、推論コストも安い。エージェントがどうせあなたのページを要約するなら、DOMを歩くことに割くトークン予算を、実際のコンテンツに回したほうが合理的だ。
エージェントにMarkdownを届ける方法は二つある。コンテンツが すでにMarkdown の場合（CMS、Gitリポジトリ、データベースにある場合）、ヘッダでフォーマットを交渉するだけで済む。筆者の姉妹記事「SvelteKit + Cloudflare WorkersでAIエージェント向けMarkdownを配信する」が、そのケースを詳しく扱っている。

正確にはそうではない。RedditやHacker Newsでは「Pagesは非推奨」という声が多いが、実態は少し違う。Workersテックリードの Kenton Varda 氏は「Pages固有の機能をすべて汎用的なWorkers機能に変えていく」と述べている。つまり、製品が廃止されるのではなく、吸収されるのだ。
