I was glad to know about caveman when Opus 5 started doing its Opus 5 things.

The funny thing is that one reason that cities, utilities etc. keep posting on Twitter is that it's integrated into their internal systems (or at least to something like Hootsuite that handles multiple social platforms). I'd be v

Huh. I thought they used to also do sentiment analysis of social media (Twitter, at least). I see that they definitely don't today, but has that always been the case?

> a fifth? a fifth of what? Fifth (ordinal), not fifth (fraction). That's why a whole tone is called a "second", not a "half".

(That's DMARC, to save others the trouble.) The problem DMARC solves is different than the problem the PSL solves, though. DMARC prevents a 3LD from pretending to be a different 3LD on the same 2LD. But the PSL handles things like wha

They'll get their 15 minutes, but there's no _there_ there. They're owned by System1, a bottom-of-the-barrel advertising company where 1990s web brands go to die (Metacrawler? Startpage.com?? Dogpile?!?!). Their maps are Ope

Occasionally I'll see a screenshot of Merlin with, I dunno, a dozen different birds, and in the middle of the list: a catbird. I never have the heart to tell people that they just heard one very creative bird.

Wikipedia usually has the most recent domains for sites like this. There's even a browser extension[1] that uses an `.idk` TLD to say "Look up the latest URL from this site's Wikipedia article". [1] https://g

It's my impression that the killer robot industry has focused primarily on dog-shaped robots over human. Being bipedal gave us a lot of advantages, but "incredibly fast runner" isn't one of them. Usain Bolt is incredibl

It works, but the problem is that you then have to do that in every repo you clone, it gets annoying.

It's been a while since I visited Japan, but one thing I remember is that people tend to not "walk and eat" there. So you buy your konbini sandwich and sit on the benches in front of the konbini to eat it and throw the packa

I'm not sure what bullying a car entails, but does that mean you're allowed to bully cars without those symbols?

And the American symbols symbolize what they signify, too. A stylized wheelchair to indicate physical mobility. An ear with a line through it to indicate deafness. Less poetic, maybe, but the point is to communicate.

The reason they don't (and won't) have an NRR rating is that they're only useful for constant noise, and not for impulse sounds. There's no question that Airpods are not industrial PPE, for instance. But I also ride wit

They don't block out loud things or ambulances approaching you. They block out constant loud background noise. This is why they're good for airplanes, lawn mowers, motorcycles and being out in public, and not good for shooting

+1, but add a motorcycle to that list too. Not Miami, but a large city, and now a smaller city. All the assertions I'm seeing in this thread are bizarre to me. One can easily hear a siren over noise cancellation and over wind noise

"C-800 Spectromaster" is exactly how specialized devices like that should be named.

Kubernetes zeitgest aside, the naming confusion between the old and new things called Docker Swarm doomed the new one.

This reminds me of the joke about the economists who spot a $100 bill on the sidewalk.

But "slop" has meant low-quality stuff for a very long time. See also "swill", both analogies to pig feed. The earliest OED2 citation of "slop" for the sense "figurative. Nonsense, rubbish; insolence&qu

On one hand, "clanker" has good steampunk vibes. On the other hand: "Stop trying to make 'clanker' happen! It's not going to happen!" "AI slop" caught on but "clanker" did not.

I read an article not long ago which I cannot find for the life of me now, but the thing in it that stuck with me was the idea that people (in the context, career software developers) were not either AI-pilled or anti-AI, but rather that

It's not uncommon to have small amounts of data come out of experiments. These are appropriate tests for the size of the data. These tests failed to disprove the null hypothesis.

I was also curious. It looks like it's probably Kristy Noem[1], and the citations are to The Week and the NYT: > Noem has since become one of the most prominent examples of so-called "Mar-a-Lago face", a cosmetic surgery

If the Vision Pro was balanced on top of the head, it would definitely be easier to sustain for a longer period of time, but the weight is attached to the front. That means you're holding it up with your neck muscles instead of straig
