It sounded very odd to me too. I was wondering if that was normal for Newfoundland maybe. To be honest it didn't sound AI, more like it was played back slightly too slow, but not by a constant amount.

If you blend this with some neutral vegetable oil, the sauce forms a creamy looking emulsion and is quite tasty.

My 13900k has definitely degraded over time. I was running bus defaults for everything and the pc was fine for several months. When I started getting crashes it took me a long time to diagnose it as a CPU problem. Changing the mobo vdroop setting made the problem go away for a while, but it came back. I then got it stable again by dropping the core multipliers down to 54x, but then a couple months later I had to drop to 53x. I just got an rma replacement and it had made it 12 hours without issue.

And now we have AI coding assistants training on that code as well

I have this one I made in high school, with a little RPG style game to go with it: https://imgur.com/a/3XpM11z

These weren't hard to make as you just built out from the start and added random branches, or dead ended them occasionally.

I used to doodle mazes very much like this in middle and high school, and the images in this story immediately reminded me of them

When is this coming to businesses so that employers can track employees time? "Over the last month you've spent a combined 4 hours on returning from breaks and lunches, and will be debited one half a vacation day"

One of my co-workers gave a seagull a tortilla one day (out the 5th floor window), and it ended up being our unofficial office mascot for years.

It seems to have trouble with long skinny shapes, I had one that would keep moving and occasionally flip over

Regarding the package maintenance item, that is just an example of something that was right for the author, not a suggestion for the general public. It was something they found useful, used regularly, and happened to be unmaintained. This put them in a position to make a meaningful contribution, beyond padding their work portfolio. This is the whole point of #1. You are in a better position to understand the flaws in software you use, and you have a vested interest in fixing them. Picking a random bug on a random project isn't going to give you the same insight.

There is a distillery in Cambridge UK that makes a gin flavoured with formic acid from ants: https://cambridgedistillery.co.uk/products/anty-gin

It's expensive, but the taste isn't really distinctive (unlike their truffle gin, which is very unusual).

It states pretty clearly that two people died.

Frist, should probably put the ship on a solar escape trajectory, so that physically intercepting it would be more difficult with time, and likely require a technological leap to accomplish. It would also be nice to have the ship on a trajectory as far away from the plane of the ecliptic as you can, to minimize occlusion and time variation based on the earth's orbit.

Next, instead of pre-seeding the ship with keys, you have it generate them (using its RTG for both power and a source of entropy) and send them back to earth at a fixed rate, possibly with the size of the keys increasing over time.

On earth, when you want to encrypt a payload to be decrypted at a future date, you calculate how many round trips it would require, then encrypt the data with that many keys from the stream, interleaved with keys generated locally. As the time will unlikely be an exact round trip time (which is ever-increasing), each end can delay the decrypt and re-transmission for some proportion of the remaining time.

I have a 2018 model x with a traditional wiper dial stalk and it almost never works. It has markings for 5 settings and most of the time it just ignores the setting you have it on. The auto setting doesn't seem to change the behaviour at all. My model 3 was annoying with the wipers on the touchscreen (mostly) but at least they worked consistently.

Love all the slow motion video, where they done look ridiculously unbirdlike.
