If they go to most mega churches, their pastor makes Trump look grounded and intelligent and they’ve never actually heard anything from the new testament.

His voice is so comforting and rich, I’d love to hear him cover Springsteen.

The Brennan monorail rides again!

Some of this technology may sound a bit “over-ambitious,” but keep in mind the project was inspired by a fully functional self-balancing monorail that mechanical engineer Louis Brennan designed and demonstrated back in the early 1900s.

This makes me want to see the Klingon version of the Avocado Bathroom sketch from That Mitchell and Webb Look… still with Olivia Colman though.

People who carry their cats in a baby bjorn lack the follicle commitment of Louis Coulon.

Minecraft. AFAIK, they’re the most likely to drop gold bars.

Are we taking bets on how long it will be before Google Search ends up on killedbygoogle,com?

Get yourself something nice that also looks good on the Holy Ghost and you’ll all love it.

Every other election debates are held by a nonpartisan organization and a third party that meets certain requirements can also join.

They change the rules rather arbitrarily to suit their needs anyway. During the 2000 election Nader was excluded from debates under the new rule that the green party had to have gotten 5% of the vote (nationally) in the previous presidential election to quality. Some of the votes for Nader, that helped get Bush elected, were cast to make sure the green party got that 5% for the next election. They didn’t, it ended up at 4% and change, but the rule was changed for 2004 anyway so it wouldn’t have mattered.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I do worry that google is eventually going infect the APIs that metasearch engines like DDG, Kagi, searchxng, etc depend on.

In my experience, a lot of the sysadmins who run high traffic sites will treat all bots as scrapers that have to be blocked or slowed to a crawl. Then they make special allowances for googlebot, bing/msnbot, and a few others. That means there is a massive uphill climb (beyond the technical one) to making a new search engine from scratch. With Google and MS both betting the farm on LLMs I fear we’re going to lose access to two of the most valuable web reverse indexes out there.

When I was running a site, I had special rules in my firewall to look for things that said they were googlebot but which didn’t come from one of googles published public IPs.

I noticed recently (though I doubt it’s new) that pop tarts are labeled that way too.

A massive outlet mall opened, in a small city who’s biggest attraction previously was WalMart. Now when people ask where I’m from, the response I get to telling them is “oh the place with the mall?”

Also, I’ve heard the school district is pretty good these days. Unlike when I was there and my high school had one of the lowest graduation rates west of the Rockies.

How long until this takes over the api’s that metasearch engines like Duck Duck Go, Kagi, and searchxng need?

Riker’s outfit from Angel One needed to make a comeback.

Hello GPT-4o (openai.com)

GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds,...

Maybe this is wishful thinking but this, at first glance, seems like a sign that we’re already entering the LLM plateau. Like when they got the point with phones that each new version is just more cameras, smoother UI, and harder glass.

When I had to start using MS for work, among the first things I did was turn off all clipboard formatting capture in office apps. I can count on 2 hands the number of times in my life I’ve wanted the destination formatting to match the source - plus office sucks at it and half the apps don’t respect ctrl+shift+v either.

I still probably won’t use this (on purpose), but it sounds a bit better.

Ah, the solar flare was just cover for another epic space battle over Earth.

Measure of a merit badge (aussie.zone)

Transcription4 panels, arranged 2x2. The first panel contains a picture of Jean-Luc Picard holding up a frame containing a number of medals. It has the text “These are your Starfleet merit badges, are they not, Mr. Data?” The second panel has a picture of Data, with the text “Yes, Captain.” The third is a close image of...
