Gemini may be good at coding but it is completely incompetent at a general level.

Relatively simple query to recommend children's activities in the local town, he made up the answers, after being warned that the answers must be true and verified, he made them up again

Question: What children's activities would he recommend in the local town?

Answer: Relax at a Beach Bar: Many beach bars along the Torrox beaches are very family-oriented. Kids can play on the sand nearby while adults relax with a drink or enjoy some local food like grilled sardines.

WTF

"You can always chase away the season of gloom by pursuing the data of hope!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

So let's talk about what I call the 'season of gloom' and the new phrase that is sweeping the tech and AI world, 'vibe coding.'

It turns out that I'm in the midst of the former and have been doing the latter.

The 'season of gloom?' That's what I call this period between the end of ski season and the start of golf. Some folks call it other things, and some are not fit for sharing. According to one chart, yesterday we were in the midst of our third winter.

Yesterday, we had a massive little mini-blizzard, ice pellets, freezing rain, rain - and then just now, overnight, some pretty massive thunderstorms. Golf can't start soon enough! I try to manage my despair by opening my pool in just over a week for a quick swim.

I also try to keep my optimism for spring in check by following various long-range weather forecasts to try to get a sense of when we might emerge from the gloom. I have, for many years, been trying to teach myself to understand these long-range weather patterns by studying various weather model forecast maps. To do that this year, I've been doing a bit of 'vibe coding' - I just created my nifty new long-range weather page which I built using AI. You can visit it at weather.beingoblio.com/longran

This little page lets me access various long-range weather models, to get a sense of what might be happening with the weather 10 to 14 days out. There's not a lot of consistency in weather predictions that far out, but this can be used to get a sense of where there is some agreement and where might find ourselves in terms of the jet stream, temperature patterns, high and low-pressure systems, and more. (Click the little 'i' icon and you can get a description of each map.)
I'm using it to try to chase away the gloom, by understanding what the weather might look like two weeks out - hence, today's quote.
I'm waiting for a real spring vibe to kick in.

I'm still waiting.

But there is hope.

Fore!

Have you heard that Labor and the Liberals teamed up to gut our environment laws, paving the way for more extinctions, more land clearing, and more destruction?

They’ve picked their side — and it’s not yours. It’s the side of the loggers, the land-clearers, and the polluters. All to please their big corporate donors.

“It goes without saying that the #AI-risk and #rationalist communities are not morally responsible for the #Zizians any more than any #movement is accountable for a deranged fringe.”
