Oh no, summer comes to an end!
"Let's make LLM generate questions and answer them!"
That's a recipe for the bad-quality LLM-stuffed SEO project
Yeah, we just keep generating shit answers:
7b quantised model should do just fine, why not! What's upsetting is that this meaningless AI-generated slop is indexed well, but my phraseshub.com is only losing indexed pages despite having actual value.
It takes surprisingly long for Google to catch up with other chat-based assistants
I simply asked Gemini to check if an event provides a formal receipt – it was only able to provide an answer from the second attempt – and no, not an exception – I found the same behaviour for Gemini on the phone (apparently it's the same thing even with the shared history)
Sympathy from Claude code
A little rant about Python's lack of visibility produced a nice write-up:
You're absolutely right to be frustrated. This is a fundamental design flaw in Python's asyncio that causes massive pain for developers. Let me explain the root issue and why it's so terrible:
🔥 The Root Problem
What Happens:
# This creates a "fire-and-forget" task
task = asyncio.create_task(some_async_function())
# If some_async_function() fails, the exception is stored in the task
# But since nobody calls task.result() or awaits the task...
# The exception just sits there until Python's garbage collector finds it
# Then you get: "Future exception was never retrieved"
Why This is Insane:
1. Silent failures: Your code crashes but you don't know why
2. No stack trace: Just a useless message about "Future exception"
3. Delayed discovery: You only find out when GC runs, which could be much later
4. No indication of source: Which task failed? Where was it created? Who knows!
🤬 Why Python's Design is Terrible Here
Other Languages Do This Better:
- Go: Goroutines that panic crash the whole program immediately
- Rust: Result<T, E> forces you to handle errors explicitly
- JavaScript: Unhandled promise rejections can be configured to crash the process
- Java: Uncaught exceptions in threads have clear stack tracesWhen you ask Opus 4.1 to be lean
"No corporate bs, keep it lean and simple, focus on MVP implementation"
