  • Didn't Herman Cain awardees die of their poor choices?

  • If you made it to five you'd be fine

  • It's pretty much a rule for funerals: wear black clothes and if you wear a tie, use a black one, if you wear a ribbon, make it a black one

  • I felt I needed more than 1L of DHMO after breakfast, I have been a habitual user for pretty much my whole life

    It's there hope for me‽

  • Australian magpies have a much nicer song than any corvid

  • Kelvins are abbreviated to capital K

  • Cool to 25, heat to 20 (Canberra, Australia)

  • Musk is a shit, but lying doesn't help

  • You can make a date from a datetime in cell A1 with

    =Date(year(A1), month(A1), day(A1))

  • The old way of saying that is close to obsolete. One now must take it from context whether the "you" means you or one.

  • A human artist might have said "1/2 full" instead of "half full" but LLMs don't understand jokes so there's no hope they'll be able to make the joke easier

  • Depending on how closed loops of time work

  • That do. The failure comes if the spacecraft use lower air pressure, then the ink is pushed out of the pen by the pressurised gas in the ink

    The same thing causes some pens to leak in aeroplanes.

  • If you want the joke decoded:

    -e return immediately for some failed commands

    -u throw an error for unset variables

    -s non functional

    -a everything is marked for export

  • My favourite AI code test is code to point a heliostat mirror at (lattitude, longitude) at a target at (latitude, longitude, elevation)

    After a few iterations to get the basics in place, "also create the function to select the mirror angle"

    A basic fact that isn't often described is that to reflect a ray you aim the mirror halfway between the source and the target. AI Congress up with the strangest non-working ways of aiming the mirror

    Working with AI feels a lot like working with a newbie

  • 1 year (and a few days) old article. How did this turn out?

  • Sure, but don't lick your lips after

  • If you're American I don't think you really want passenger pigeons

  • Sure, but if we take it as true that light speed is the same in every direction – which is perfectly consistent with everything ever measured – you can measure speed between two endpoints using two atomic clocks and a synchronised experiment, with corrections for the relativistic effect of moving the clocks to the different places
