Back for a fourth year, I’ve compiled the top 11 posts published this year (see last year’s if you’re interested, 2022’s, and 2021’s edition). I’ve published less this year (101vs. 117) but life be’s like that sometimes.
Anyway, here is the top 11:
- Some arbitrary facts about the number 2024
- Wiby – a search engine for lovers of the old Web

- A meteor in the Portuguese sky, caught on video
- WIRED on Perplexity AI as a ‘bullshit machine’
- Some links about pi for Pi Day
- Stefan Baack on ‘Common Crawl’s Impact on Generative AI’
- Terry Callier: the computer programmer
- Shout out to Ashwin Sah and Mehtaab Sawhney on their big number proof
- This Does Not Compute on Sony’s MiniDisc laptop
