Are you tired of wrong llm summaries yet? Well too bad cause I just came across my first one in the wild as I have that feature normally turned off.

I am currently learning C and I am not sure the summary feature is doing me any favors.

DuckDuckGo Search Assist: "1L is used in C programming to represent a literal value of one litre, while 1 is simply an integer. This distinction helps clarify that the value is specifically a volume measurement rather than just a numeric value."

In case you don't know, C is the successor to B (which used imperial variables). There was a planned successor to C called D, which would use all unitless quantities, like they do in Fermi approximations, but it turns out those aren't very good. That's why we have C++ (which supports metric and imperial) instead.
