Aren't these supposed to be thought bubbles? Looking at other panels only Jon used to have regular speech bubbles while Garfield has thought bubbles.

The implication is clear: cats can read minds!

They conclude it is normal human behavior and decide to leave us the fuck alone, like we do with the sentinel islands.

Very private, much stable.

“It’s [the Mercator projection] the world’s longest misinformation and disinformation campaign, and it just simply has to stop.”

No matter how we cut it though, all 2D projections will have some kind of distortion. They opted to preserve area, while the Mercator preserves angles. Arguably it is less important today to preserve angles, as we have automatic navigation systems. There are some alternatives that also preserve the area: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/The-Equal-Earth-compared-to-similar-equal-area-pseudocylindrical-projections.png

My issues are fundsmentally two fold with gen AI:

1. Who owns and controls it (billionares and entrenched corporations)

2. How it is shoehorned into everything (decision making processes, human-to-human communication, my coffee machine)

I cannot wait until finally the check is due and the AI bubble pops; folding this digital snake oil sellers' house of cards.

There is some bliss in having a universal personal pronoun w/o grammatical genders whatsoever (ő) in a languange (hungarian). Often you can even omit it altogether from a sentence.

But let's not mention the many cases...

Industrial diamonds are pretty useful for cutting.

Stop calling it "age verification" when mandated self-doxxing or privacy destruction is much more descriptive.

But we only can know the yellow. I wouldn't be surprised if the blue line had a positive slope over a ten thousand year scale. We are less and less fit for the environment we make.

To reduce entropy at one place (make it ordered), it has to increase at another place.

This whole universe is rigged! lol

OGC?

I thought we settled that it's not a good acronym...

Conveying meaning vs matching words from a dictionary.

While I agree CEOs don't do much work. We still need a person there, because code can't be held accoun- nevermind, that ship has long sailed.

Hey, I tell you there's also the inattentive type ADHD. In which case, they might just forget to show up altogether.

Meta's legal defense was that they limited seeding to a minimal value as a precaution when they pirated terabytes of books. Of course, I don't expect the same ruling would be granted to an individual... Shit is fucked.

A modern high-end BMW can have over a hundred separate ECUs (microcontrollers). All communicating over multiple CAN and FlexRay networks. The complexity is mind boggling, just so you can have subscription based seat heating and other nonsense.

No technician on Earth will be able to debug this black box spaghetti except the manufacturer. If you try to access/reprogram one of these chips (as you should be able as you OWN the damn thing), the microcontroller has OTP (one time programmable) memory that ensures the device can physically brick itself should you try.

Crazy how many people are raw-dogging digital sewage.

The adults: I learned to live with it and now it became part of my identity

The kids: this sucks! everyone's mean to me and the world makes no sense!

I love that they finally listened and added back the jack!
