For me the worst is Microsoft Start news. I've already turned it off multiple times and it always come back.

To add insult to injury, it always displays terrible gossip, sports or far right news.

If any developer that works in MS news service is reading this message, please know that I hate you.

uv has a lot of sensible defaults that prevent clueless developers to shoot their own feet. Uv sync, for example, would uninstall packages not in pyproject.toml

Don't understate its importance. I've been using Python for more than 30 years. They solved a problem that a lot of smart people didn't solve (). Python developer experience improved an order of magnitude.

() Sure, they were on the shoulders of giants

I've had the privilege to watch it at São Luis movie theater in Recife. The place is really a character of the movie. The theater was at full capacity. 10% of the public was with a yellow t-shirt that Wagner Moura uses for 10s :-) I forgot how good it was to see movies in a theater. Everybody laughed or clapped together. I've never more seen a movie with so much popular appeal. People seeing their lives and history in the big screen. If it had won an Oscar, maybe São Luiz would exhibit it frequently. Like the Casablanca theater in Morocco that just exhibits Casablanca movie.

Pure cinema.

In Colombia and Venezuela you also have the Caribbean. These countries are great.

Peru is a marvelous country, and one of the greatest trip destinations in the world. A travel guide described Peru as the Egypt of the Americas. I went there just knowing about the Incas, but they one just one among dozens of civilizations. It blows your mind.

The greatest sadness is to see the amount of wonders destroyed by the Spanish invaders.

The worst ad is the one you don't know is an ad. It will be presented as a definitive answer.

They are persuasion machines

Also forgot the part where they start to disguise that an ad is really an ad. The ad is just melted in the content.

Nice. Do you know this Princeton research group?

https://ai.sociology.princeton.edu/research

Here is a quotation:

> "It has become clear that at least some of the companies will bring over the engagement model of social media to chatbots, monetizing ads, shopping recommendations, affiliate links, and sponsored answers. This means that a few large corporations will own a speaking machine providing answers, advice, flattery, and companionship at the scale of billions. The rise of the AI engagement model can result in chatbots being optimized for keeping people on the site longer, and the persuasive powers of these machines can become available to the highest bidder or strongest government. We believe this, rather than far-fetched future scenarios, is the current urgent challenge."

Iran has marvelous cities, sim of the greatest humanity archeological treasures.

It hurts my heart to see Americans destroying them (and the thousands of lifes).
