• AI web crawlers are destroying the web.  (The Register)
  
  And there's not even a nominal quid-pro-quo where they get your content but they index it for you and point it at your site.  They get your content and they basically just keep it.
  
  
  
• On the plus side, humans are now being hired to make AI slop look slightly less sloppy.  (NBC News)

• A look at the HP Zbook Ultra G1a.  (Hot Hardware)
  
  This model is build on the Ryzen AI Max 395+ - a chip with 16 CPU cores and 40 graphics cores, about the fastest thing you can find in a laptop these days.
  
  Performance is solid, and it has a 2880x1800 OLED display and almost the four essential keys to go with that CPU and 128GB of RAM.
  
  Not one I'd recommend unless you have a direct use for that 128GB of RAM and integrated GPU, which basically implies running LLMs locally.
  
  
  
• I may have mentioned in passing that my feets hurts due to edema - fluid retention - brought on by my recent high blood pressure.  The usual treatment for edema is diuretics, which help you reabsorb and pee out the unwanted fluid, and my doctor duly prescribed me such a medication which did very little for the first four days.
  
  Well, the pills finally kicked in.  And how.
