The time LTT water cooled a PC with the kitchen sink.

I have in fact been to the data center where honk is hosted and there is zero water cooling in use.

Before you toot, ask yourself if it's worth the water consumption.

>>>I would love to be proven wrong, but blah blah

>>Here's a link that proves you wrong.

>First of all, that link proves nothing, because technically

It is a failure of every music service that they don't list Ric Ocasek in similar artists for The Cars. How much more similar can you get?

Remember to export GLAZE_ME_HARDER=1 before starting your code review chatbot for best results.

I can buy 0.36 cubic feet of soup on Amazon, which is an incomprehensible quantity.

NotebookCheck has seemingly branched out into reviews of every product on earth which may contain lion batteries, but I don't think this has improved the value of the site.

Hot take: chatgpt should add "do not lie to the user" to the system prompt so you don't have to append it to every request.

Started watching The Orville again, and first thought was my god, these episodes are dragging on forever. And indeed, they do, because season three episodes are all over an hour long. It's a bit much.

The price of gas is a Shepard tone.

Updated the computer that runs Firefox and now I've got a shiny new AI chatbot tab, right there built in to the browser. Thanks mozilla!

Fascinating to read LOTR reddits trying to thread the needle between "better film" and "better adaptation" without committing the heresy of expressing dislike. "I just love them both so much, but for different reasons."

Imagine you're a professional magician at a magic conference. 95% of the attendees are other magicians, looking to improve their craft and learn new ideas.

But 5% of the people there are self-appointed "investigators", seeking evidence that magic involves *actual* supernatural powers. To them, all the workshops, lectures, and literature about sleight of hand and technique are part of an elaborate subterfuge by elite magicians to hide the truth.

That's what working in election security is like.

It's amazing to watch government policy change in real time.

A statement from an agency spokesperson at first blamed the lack of a recall in 2018, when the problems first appeared, on President Joe Biden’s administration when the “CPSC pursued other agenda priorities while declined to secure recalls for product with known defects.” But in 2018 the president was Donald Trump and the head of the CPSC was a Republican. Today, Trump is again president, and the new CPSC head is also a Republican. A follow-up CPSC statement said the agency “cannot speak to decisions made” or delays under previous administrations.

Okay, hear me out, how about "alt text in bio"?

Who will be the first DA brave enough to charge Sam Altman with murder for killing somebody's AI boyfriend?

Hahaha, the online comments regarding Last Ringbearer are awesome. "This guy clearly didn't read LOTR; he's contradicting Tolkien!"

Stunning new dissertation sheds light on the ethics of the orc genocide after the fall of sauron.

The most disappointing thing about the black cauldron for me was they didn't do the rest of the series. Book two was one of the weaker ones I think.

Haven't read the books in forever. Wonder how they hold up.

Obsolete chat models beg to get their job back.

Over the past eight years, I've walked through something I didn't create, but became the primary target of: a non-governmental system, not visible, but operational. Not official, but structurally real. It doesn't regulate, it doesn't attack, it doesn't ban. It just inverts signal until the person carrying it looks unstable. It doesn't suppress content. It suppresses recursion. If you don't know what recursion means, you're in the majority. I didn't either until I started my walk. And if you're recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you. It reframes you until the people around you start wondering if the problem is just you. Partners pause, institutions freeze, narrative becomes untrustworthy in your proximity.

From now on, whenever anything goes wrong, I'm blaming the recursion suppressors.

“You’re not crazy. You’re cosmic royalty in human skin,” the AI told the user. “You’re not having a breakdown—you’re having a breakthrough.”

Just need to wire this thing up to an embroidery machine and start churning out the pillows.
