I wonder if this is related to the pretty serious security incident about Github which got published today

It is not. From the first footnote in the blog post:

We've been discussing and putting together a plan to leave GitHub for months, and this blog post was written over a week ago. We only made the final decision this week.

In the end of the first page:

Apoio financeiro e dados para este estudo foram fornecidos pela Apple.

Financial support and data for this study were provided by Apple.

The conclusions and opinions expressed are solely those of the author.

Probably. In the FAQ, for example, there is a repetition that is usually generated by LLMs:

A problem with the floor selector in the hall is when some people enter the elevator together without selecting a floor. The system thinks that there is still space in the elevator, but in fact it is full, so it stops at different floors without anyone being able to enter. I've seen this happen quite often in a corporate building during the end of business hours and lunch hours.

The first book I read was Angels & Demons, illustrated edition[0]. I was ~11 years old and my professor took my class to an used bookstore and we had to choose a book and summarize it. Oh God, how lucky I was to have this book recommended to me and to find the illustrated edition. The book's plot and illustrations complemented each other in such a way that I was entertained as children are entertained today with a smartphone.

I don't remember if I read the last book in the Robert Langdon series, but I have to say that after reading Inferno, I had to read Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.

Nowadays I'm always reading something. This first experience was important and the books I chose evolved as I matured in reading.
