How should I trust AI tools when they tell me things that contradict what I'm seeing, and then say "I Was Wrong Earlier"?
They are good at finding explanations for *anything*, no matter whether it's true or not :-(

Most people cannot name a single astronomer. If I could change that to one person it would be Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin.
I've never read her thesis. I think I'll fix that.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

On this day in 2003, DMB performed a historic concert at the Central Park in NYC. The show was later released as the now classic The Central Park Concert. Raise your 🖐 if you were you there! #DMBHistory

Amusing how 99% of people using LLMs forget how these things work:
They are advanced probability machines. They generate the next most likely token (word) based in the input and their training.
Under the hood, it’s a giant matrix multiplication that has eerily good output.

A product that (almost) everyone uses from mid-sized tech companies and up but I rarely hear talked about: Grafana
In The Pragmatic Engineer 2025 survey, it had more mentions than Cursor, and dominates as the answer to "how do you turn information into graphs"
