Google NotebookLM just added a NanoBanana powered infographics feature, which seems pretty impressive so far. Here's an example based on some recent work of mine:

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

What if color harmonies were a continuum? Not fixed rules, and you could glide through them just by interpolating?

Software 2.0 relies on validation

If your code base doesn’t have verification & controls that are as good or better than your senior dev, you’ll get slop

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

A substantial portion of the traffic to Google is not search use cases where a user seeks to find a destination. Rather, they are "question answering" use cases. And LLMs are the ultimate question answering machine.

But that is a different thread.

My main point, and this is a genuine question, is I cannot understand for the life of me WHY GOOGLE WOULD DO THIS?

Because in addition to Google making money on search result ads, it also owns an estimated +50% of the global digital ad revenue market GENERALLY

Turns out you can communicate across containers via 63-bits of available space in a shared lock you acquire on /proc/self/ns/time that all processes have access to.

No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers.

NEW on @indicator.media: A first *full-scale* comparison of Grokipedia v Wikipedia.

Last week the awesome @harold.bsky.social rocked up to my desk bearing gifts.

Hal had collected almost all 900K Grokipedia entries and compared them to their Wikipedia equivalents for text and citation similarity.

Clapton is a patsy. Bob Marley is the man they want.
BREAKING: Eric Clapton suspended from BlueSky for 72 hours for shooting the sheriff.

BlueSky mods said he would have been permanently banned, but he showed restraint by not shooting the deputy.
