This is rather like the BBC TV show Humans, which moved from androids that resembled humans to an armageddon scenario and then got canceled before the androids could take over.

Nice, though it sounds hard to believe that someone could find such a small meteorite in such a way.

I was going to mention the Nova story as I learned in Internationalization coding with XPG/4 standard. Sadly though, it's an urban legend with no basis in fact.

In Internationalization coding, we had to pay attention to these kinds of things some funny, others vulgar as in this example: Mitsubishi had a car line called Pajero, but they had to change its name when marketing it in Spain and other Spanish-speaking markets. The vehicle was marketed as...

There is a two factor exploit but its not clear this is it. https://blog.talosintelligence.com/cloudz-pheno-infostealer/ My macbook does something similar with email or message codes and then prefills the field. Other times it requires Duo and will launch the phone version on my mac allowing...

Wheeler once posited the notion of a geon, a ring of light held together by the gravity of its own field energy. Geons have never been observed, and I believe there's some debate on whether they are stable, but theoretical physics entertains such notions in the search for quantum gravity and...

And yet Ramanujan almost did slip through the cracks if not for some special people in India and Hardy and Littlewood in England.

My understanding of things was that IQ tests are imperfect for a number of reasons. One being the background of the person taking it as questions can have an implicit bias for one culture over another. The popular tests for college entry were IQ tests recast for college entrance and were meant...

A mixed bag. Chatgpt paid seems pretty good. But others not so good. Also it depends on the language and developers. Nuances in a language not understood by a developer have greater mistranslations than when developer teams know source and target languages intimaely.

Maybe this would be a good insight article on when and how to use Metcal.

I've seen docs that look okay but when you select text it reverses the letters. An example, selecting the word “smart” and you “trams”. —- From a ChatGPT search —- Nature’s PDFs are standard PDF files, but they often have characteristics that make them harder for software to extract text...

Personally I would retire your computer and transfer your stuff to a new one. Reason a connector fail but when it works it stops.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer. No comma needed for the song.

I think it will quickly rise again as students learn the new ways of software development being hammered out in the AI agent age. I believe a human will have to have the right vibe programming skills to direct the AI agent to a good outcome rather like the way bosses do now with their...
