For example, searching for a Microsoft product couldn't find its landing page, and searching for a niche open source package landed in the Debian repos for the top hits, but the home page was in the first 10 hits.

Lovely to see they're doing their own search though, I love how many folk are actively working on search clones at the moment.

Announcements of new models in the series always feel curious, because it doesn't really feel like there's much left to fix that would improve on what's already there for any task I know of.

It's a bit like obsessing over patch releases of some software after a major upgrade already solved the original problem long ago.
