@mr_salty might not exist anymore. There were a lot of rules about it, like I think maybe it was only allowed at night? But I don’t really remember.

@DavidLikesBirds @jpakey99 Yeah, I was thinking of the Holiday Bar (which has an amazing history if you google it) and the chinese (?) restaurant that used to be there.

[Robbie Sedgewick @badsedge]

@jpakey99 @DavidLikesBirds Well yeah, but it only recently became a parking lot. Before CMU bulldozed everything there were a bunch of businesses there.

Are you kidding me @iRobot with this "Password change required" stuff. Password changes don't improve security they just annoy people. Add 2 factor if you care about security.

go/bad This search result is really bad. The restaurant I want is the second link. First link is some kinda grossness that is trying to googlesquat their name. @Google

@generativist I guess not fired, but kinda forced out. The quote at the end of this article is so good.

@CubicleApril @verge Seeing Google kill reader from the inside was so fascinating. Everyone outside of the upper leadership knew it was a huge mistake, which has proven to be true. Google's reputational hit for killing reader has been so huge and long lasting.

@berkeleyrabe @cowfarmerjoe @GHGGuru Why can't you bike to work?

@Center4Politics @playbookdc @kkondik Ug, why is that a video and not an image? So much harder to look at.

[Robbie Sedgewick @badsedge]

@alexisjreports We saw it too! Luckily looked like they had managed to get the horse safely under control but both lanes of Eastbound traffic were stopped with the horse in the middle of the road.

@JamesTimmins @pitdesi @villi Yeah, great neighborhood. Been one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city for forever.

This is changing with the new maine state map!

[Terrible Maps @TerribleMaps]

Does their state flag have toes?

Great write up on the quality of the current generation of generative AI search results. Maybe these will get better at some point, but we have a ways. Plus the issues of incentives to generate this data as discussed in thread.

[Eric Ravenscraft @LordRavenscraft]

I've been in Google's beta test for generative AI search results. I've also been playing Tears of the Kingdom.

I wanna talk about how this is a perfect example of how this new approach makes search results way, WAY worse.

And that's before we even get to the errors.

Great thread. I love people pointing out bad science.

@wirecutter Needs buckwheat and millet pillows in the testing pool!

@nameshiv It is harder if you are from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
