Yeah I'm optimistic about DeepSeek.

Optimistic that this is the start of the bubble bursting, or at least deflating.

I am not sure why it needs to be said, but:

🌱🌿🌷🩼🏥🚑🩼🌷🌿🌱

🌱 Do not get medical advice 🌱

🌱 or health system tips from 🌱

🌱 a Large Language Model. 🌱

🌱🌿🌷🩼🏥🚑🩼🌷🌿🌱

It did no research. It knows nothing. It cannot know anything.

The US healthcare system is certainly a dark foggy labyrinth meant to bleed every penny from us, but an LLM will not actually give reliable advice about how to navigate it.

Went Contra dancing last week and keep thinking about what one of my (much more experienced) dancing partners advised:

"Don't let your neighbors' mistakes distract you from what you know."

AirBnB will offer a "gladiatorial experience" to 16 people in THE Collisseum. Are 15 people about to die for AirBnB?

Even in the movies, no one likes being a gladiator. No one signed up for that. It's not aspirational.

I got an idea this morning and made a thing. Also it's so satisfying everytime to publish a webpage!

foo, bar, and baz are the worst variable, function, etc names to include in code tutorials.

Beginners especially will find them confusing because instead of seeing them as "obviously silly placeholders" they are likely to be thinking every keyword token seems silly, but is important.

It also breaks with the rule to name variables what they are or what they do (e.g. price_subtotal or calculateTax). Write tutorials like you would write actual code.

I just learned that the #philadelphia water department published a #map of home's water service lines!

Mine is classed as "unknown," but it does break down that: From the sidewalk to my house, it is confirmed non-lead but unknown from the main to the sidewalk.
