    Bill Bryson - A short history of nearly everything

  • Google’s AI Overviews are out of control
  • Already has - air Canada was held liable for their ai chatbot giving wrong information that a guy used to buy bereavement tickets. They tried to claim they weren't responsible for what it said, but the judge found otherwise. They had to pay damages.

  • New Zealand shown from the International Space Station
  • Sorry should clarify - the rainforest road was marked with this sign from the article.
    So yes a maximum of 100, but due to the nature of the road there's no way you could do over that without killing yourself. Most of the time, you'd only have time to get up to 60 (if that) before another blind bend.

    It just felt nice not to have to worry about speed and focus on the road, because here in Australia they'd have a posted speed limit way too slow and a speed trap around each bend.

  • If it works, kill it.
  • I don't really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.

    I'm still bitter over Inbox.

    I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.

    I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager's daily musings that drive what development does?

  • New Zealand shown from the International Space Station
  • One of the best drives I've done is from Queenstown (on the lightning bolt lake) up the west coast to Greymouth (on the north west coast where the snowcaps stop, the plain there).

    Beautiful scenery - you'd be driving (no speed limit, so you can concentrate on the bends) through rainforest one minute and then emerge onto a vast river delta with a giant wooden bridge, then back into forest, then out onto a plain with towering snowcapped mountains above you, then back into forest, then pop out at a beautiful beach.

    Never experienced anything like it, it's one of my favourite memories of my trip to NZ.

  • Bluey "The Sign" episode discussion
  • Two parts that I really love (apart from all of it):
    You can hear the change in the music when bluey and bingo start running through the empty house.

    And

    All I can think of when the bells start at the end is the end credits with the fruit bats - that's exactly my view of every evening here in Brisbane.
