Half way on a 6 hour road trip and a bit sleep deprived so glad the EV charging had me taking a walk in a garden center.

It really likes to start generated sentences with "Learn"

switched my search engine to Wikipedia

#DuckDuckGo seems to be using an LLM to generate and/or mangle many of the page summaries in their search results.

I have all applicable settings turned off. And there is no warning about this. This is unacceptable, and I will no longer use this search engine.

first river swim of the summer!

problem: the leaves are wet

solution: moved some tools and a bucket

realm: IOT wifi

For me, this is like getting an honorary degree as a python programmer.

LLM generated CLAs when?

from https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/115733 which is apparently not satire?

Final tree successfully cut down.

While I was up roping it, I got this view from above the solar fence and field.

one tree that overhangs my house left, and I will have cut them all down and cleared the majority of area for my second solar field

I've had to rope about a dozen trees on this project to control fall. It's still nervewracking.

There were a couple times last winter when my EV was not charged enough from my offgrid solar, and I had to detour half an hour on the way home from town to get a charge.

Now the nearby smallish town has gotten its own DC fast chargers near the produce stand, went online today. Seems an effort there to install a L2 downtown is stalled in city council though, pity. Anyway, it's good seeing the local stuff fill in, here on the edge of what's still a big gap in the EV charging map.
