The incredibly abysmal quality of Google LLMS and product is outstanding to me.

They invented the field, and yet they manage to deliver such awful products with it.
When I use Google now I just automatically scroll past the AI summaries like they’re banner ads
This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule.

Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.

I've just finalized my account deletion on Twitter/X. It's especially sad, because as a former Rocket Scientist, Elon Musk has been a real inspiration for what he has achieved with SpaceX.

Gloomy times lie ahead.

It makes me laugh. 4 hours ago I had all the my BlueSky timeline full of people going crazy for the TikTok situation.

Now I have the entire pipeline full of people saying they don't care about TikTok and they're just good with @bsky.app.

If you've installed Python with uv, then you've used python-build-standalone.

It powers installs for uv, Rye, mise, Bazel, pipx, Hatch, and more, with over 70,000,000 downloads.

@bsky.app following from the android app doesn't seem to work. Is that normal? Or is there somehow of a lag?
