It seems like the search ai results are generally misunderstood, I also misunderstood them for the first weeks/months.

They are not just an LLM answer, they are an (often cached) LLM summary of web results.

This is why they were often skewed by nonsensical Reddit responses [0].

Depending on the type of input it can lean more toward web summary or LLM answer.

So I imagine that it can just grab the description of the „car wash” test from web results and then get it right because of that.

At the risk of being cpt obvious: <= 10% of plastic has ever been recycled + AFAIK there’s a pretty low limit on how many times you can recycle.

> Plastic also degrades each time it is reused, meaning it can't be reused more than once or twice.

Anyone on the path between your server and clients can change the content however they want. Inject ads, mining scripts, redirect to a phishing website, try to push a virus to your client etc.

There are even ISPs that do that: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/157828/my-isp-b...

If you hit a hot path the impact can be way higher. Especially if you're running client-side and want a fluid experience. Example: https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/12510

But definitely agree that cleaner code > performance in most cases. First make sure you really do need to squeeze that performance out.

How much can I trust those ROM builders, though? If I use anything other than the official LineageOS builds (e.g. if there are none for my device, or only nightly ones) I can't even be sure that the binaries that people upload match the source code they publish, right?

They might even not publish the source, and if they do, what are the chances that anyone has audited it?
