The science-based lifting narrative took a major hit with this video. It backtracks years of high volume advice. If we post-hoc justify once something works, how different is this from disciplined trial and error?

After 8 months I finally migrated my blog from #jekyll to #hugo 🎉

[Mariano Gappa @MarianoGappa]

After losing 1 more hour of my life resuscitating my blog yet again, I decided I've had enough with #jekyll. I'm migrating it to #hugo. Enough is enough.

It won't be instantaneous, but in the long term I'll amortise it, and in the near term I'll keep my hair.

Have you ever tried putting on a random word in Google Photos? It's awesome 🤩 Search is pretty useless by today's standards, but putting a random word literally gives you random results, which is very fun!

The calorie-counting craze is irritating. It's inaccurate, time-consuming, and all for a simple "cut/add 5%." Skip the math, adjust portions—like adding a cup of rice—, check one month later, rinse & repeat! It works!

Last month I asked Gemini to add calendar events for my trip itinerary in Gmail; said it couldn't do that yet.

Yesterday I asked it to make me a background image for a project; it still doesn't make images.

Today it made this newsletter summary.

Google's AI isn't useful 🤷

@simon_price01 I made you a very short @seanonolennon highlights playlist: https://t.co/BlQ8a0uwfe

Sean's music focus has been psychedelic/prog rock, which is typically unnoticed in the mainstream. Making hits and making good music are different things. Sean is not James.

Today I came about this in #Rome. Apparently, when the metro tickets machine runs our of paper and you paid by card, it shows this f*ck you error and doesn't refund the transaction 🤣
