I mean, it was probably dinner time. No grand conspiracy behind that one.

I saw a post a few weeks ago about a company's chatbot that had learned from Reddit to answer questions by saying:

Sure, here's a video tutorial on how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

If you still have your job, you can start on Factorio mods.

Mate, you're agreeing with him. He's saying lots of drivers are terrible.

Ah, the Internet. A place where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.

I realise it's a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it's running the A/C.

Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it's a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

Well, kind of.

Linus needs to call out bad code, it's an important part of Linux's quality control. He doesn't need to tell people to kill themselves.

The best part is, no matter how terrible they make Youtube with adblock, they still can't get it as bad as Youtube without adblock.

The impact they're hoping it'll have is people will think this isn't the right time to buy an EV so they'll keep buying Toyota gas cars. That's why Toyota is constantly in the news regarding battery tech - it's to support their fossil fuel business.

Something about fibre to the node inspired me.

Your distro is crap, mine is awesome.

What distro do I use? I don't see how that's relevant. No, I don't need to know what you use either.

Edit: we all secretly know that Hannah Montana Linux is the best.

Income tax when you aren't receiving an income is a weird idea.

It sounds like the author wants a land tax, but hasn't ever heard the term.
