Much of the country is dealing with a heat wave right now. On Tuesday, it was 99 degrees here with a heat index of 111.
If you have to get outside to do yard work or sports or whatever, make sure you not only drink enough fluids but also replenish your body's salt. Sports drinks like Gatorade are good for this.
Stay cool, folks.
UPDATE: I picked up some shares of Google today in spite of this post. Since I now have a financial interest in the company, I'm disclosing that when necessary.
Well, this is a bit surprising. I knew LLMs hallucinate from time to time, but I didn't expect that hallucination rate to rise.

Are these things actually getting worse, or is this just a statistical blip?
Personal anecdote time: A few days ago, I googled "what events happened on (my birthday)" to see what Google's search AI would say about it. I typed out the exact date and spelled out the full name of the month so that there was no excuse for interpreting the date incorrectly. The LLM gave me several events. The first two events did NOT occur on my birthday but rather a month earlier according to Wikipedia. But the AI said in its answer that they happened on (my birthday). It straight-up lied to me.
This is a very easy thing to get right. There's no excuse for this.
The month of May was rainy and cool. I wouldn't be surprised then to see June be hot and dry. That's the way things roll around here.
Even so, I'm eager to see the sun again. I've seen and felt too little of it lately. Gloomy weather enervates me, and I really want to feel more lively.
This week is supposed to be sunny with highs in the mid-80s. Sounds great, man. Let's hope it happens.
