We need to start posting this everywhere else too.
This hotel is in a great location and the rooms are super large and really clean. And the best part is, if you sudo rm -rf / you can get a free drink at the bar. Five stars.

DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI
The article already notes that
privacy-focused users who don’t want “AI” in their search are more likely to use DuckDuckGo
But the opposite is also true. Maybe it’s not 90% to 10% elsewhere, but I’d expect the same general imbalance because some people who would answer yes to ai in a survey on a search web site don’t go to search web sites in the first place. They go to ChatGPT or whatever.

Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours
Reply in thread
It doesn’t seem to be based on petroleum, since they’re explicitly comparing it to petroleum-based plastics…
There also are other non-petroleum based plastics that dissolve in water. This part is not new. E.g. polyvinyl alcohol is used widely.
What’s new about this one is that it specifically needs salt to dissolve and they claim it’s otherwise relatively sturdy. So maybe it could be used instead of pet bottles for drinks? Or maybe they’re not quite there yet but it’s a new step in that direction…

Gratis-Waschmaschine: Warum Frankfurt seine Stromspar-Millionen nicht loswird
Reply in thread
Anrufen um eine kostenlose Waschmaschine anzubieten ist halt auch maximal bescheuert. Cold call der praktisch das Stereotyp für Betrug ist. Ich kriege nie Betrugsanrufe und würde wahrscheinlich ran gehen, aber wenn mir jemand von der Caritas eine kostenlose Waschmaschine anbietet dann lege ich garantiert sofort wieder auf.

Some additives are allowed in small amounts, and the water is allowed because it’s juice from concentrate where you can add exactly the amount of filtered water that was previously removed to make the concentrate.

Trump’s ‘Bah! Humbug!’ address suggests he is feeling the chill of opinion polls
apparently this was a sugar high: just before the remarks started, according to a White House pool report, an usher brought in three Diet Cokes and ice.
But… that’s the sugar free one… he must have been on something else.

Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'
Reply in thread
I think the open slop situation is also in part people who just want a feature and genuinely think they’re helping. People who can’t do the task themselves also can’t tell that the LLM also can’t do it.
But a lot of them are probably just padding their GitHub account too. Any given popular project has tons of forks by people who just want to have lots of repositories on their GitHub but don’t actually make changes because they can’t actually do it. I used to maintain my employer’s projects on GitHub and literally we’d have something like 3000 forks and 2990 of them would just be forks with no changes by people with lots of repositories but no actual work. Now these people are using LLMs to also make changes…
