I wonder if the hardware is old-school, or if they put a modern microcontroller in it?

It really is an indictment of this site that any mention of the genocide in Gaza is flagged almost instantly.

I wonder about the world where, instead of investing in AI, everyone invested in API . Like, surfacing APIs, fostering interoperability... I don't want an AI agent, but I might be interested in an agent operating with fixed rules, an

I was hoping to see the questions (which I can probably find online), but also the answers from models and the judge's scores! Am I missing a link? Without that I can't tell whether I should be impressed or not.

Thanks, I was annoyed that the article didn't cite the actual law in question, but the BBC comes in with "Port of London Thames Byelaws, clause 36.2" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmlrx89jdv2o

I appreciate that you can make your nails fancy on a budget (e.g. using nail stamping). I enjoy having trimmed nails as well, because having very long nails can make certain tasks difficult, so all these designs make me cringe a bit. But...

Looking at the replies to, say, https://x.com/aoc , it seems pretty steered to me. If you want to hear replies from her supporters, good luck getting through a few hundred blue check marks. Compare this to something like h

That's what I find most offensive about the use of LLMs in education: it can readily produce something in the shape of a logical argument, without actually being correct. I'm worried that a generation might learn that that'

To me, this is the same as the "loyalty cards" that provide "discounts" in U.S. grocery chains like Kroger's & Ralph's. They've already decided to take your money with higher prices, and dole out smal

My mondegreen for this is "Even a stuffed croc tells the right time twice a day" (which, if you look at its jaws...) I think my favorite Orbital jam is Impact USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLaBPq-Krlk

This doesn't sound logical to me. I mean, suppose proponents win once. Stupid protections get enacted. But... can't opponents also get bills proposed, and passed?

What fills out that $60 BOM? Obviously the stylish case isn't cheap, but I'm wondering what else makes it expensive.

Yeah, I had the same thought. $169?! I get that it's specialty geekware, but with enough popularity that I would have guessed the price would be in line with the Arduino. Like, $50?

My brain immediately translated the headline into "One in five young Americans is a trollish little asshole." It's well known that actual belief and poll answers do not align, but here in particular I feel like there's a

I think you're right, but I'm wondering whether cars will be designed with this feature for that happens. The article does a decent job of showing how "Fact Checkers" failed to spread knowledge, probably due to individua

I'm really surprised at the number of people on the side of the telecoms here. I think it's reasonable to want consistent pricing and quality of service, particularly in cities. Redlining doesn't have to be because of racism

I think it's reasonable to ask if the Japanese arbitrage actually ever took place, particularly at the scale he claimed it did. It comes off a lot like Charles Ponzi's postal coupon story. A story to tell as part of the confidence

Some time ago I made an animation of a Hilbert curve with sections transitioning between levels. As simple as it is, it's kind of fun to watch. https://ehq.com/rloop2.svg

I uninstalled TikTok because it turned into a time-wasting attention sink. I'm fine with YouTube proper, but YouTube Shorts is essentially TikTok in a trenchcoat. There really, really, really needs to be a way to banish YouTube Shorts

Interesting idea. Is this being played at any casinos yet? I'm curious how you sell them on the house advantage being real (e.g. a white paper, or some kind of insurance guarantees?). One thing your game could use is a "repeat b

We're at the point where "read my emails and generate a bunch of crazy content" is more a business proposal than a joke.

The Telltale Games serial "Wolf Among Us" is based on Fables. I enjoyed it, definitely. The world is based on the public domain (fairytale characters) but with many interesting touches, set in the modern world.

Yeah, all you need is to encrypt the URL (which includes tracking query parameters), and then the URL you give out is the encrypted blob. When the web server gets a request, it can validate & decrypt, update any tracking values, and red

Still fails my favorite test, "sum the integers from -99 to 100, inclusive". The answer it gives (0), is weirdly convoluted and wrong.
