"I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle," says Roger Davis, a Cybertruck owner.

Davis also uses the Grok feature in the car: "Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist."

I don't even believe in learning assembly and processor architecture for a CS bachelor's, but I do feel that you should have to write a few programs with just a language's run-time library and OS syscalls. Or better yet, nothing but the UEFI firmware.

I was talking about cargo cult programming the other day, and… yeah, even devs seem to be too far removed from the nitty-gritty sometimes.

Pax is… @pax.dog · 2d

we are too many layers of abstraction away from the gritty, ugly, manual process of moving bits in and out of memory registers

LRP: I keep repeating it, but natural language is actually a terrible human-machine interface. It's subjective and unreliable, and actually requires more mental effort than using traditional controls.

It looks cool in sci-fi, but when the rubber meets the pavement the advantages just break down.

Human-Computer Interaction 101:

No one wants to talk to their fucking computer unless the environment demands it (like while driving) or when it’s a small thing and you’re not at your computer (“siri, skip this track”). Most people don’t even want to do the latter.

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

This is yet another sci-fi fantasy from douchebros who watched Star Trek as kids and saw people talking to computers and somehow forgetting that it’s a TV show and used for storytelling reasons.

(Plus even on Star Trek they mostly use keyboards.)

Quick lil reminder:
Picking on the physical characteristics (weight, height, etc) of someone who's clearly just a trash human being isn't the dunk you think it is.

welcome to bluesky, every post is one of these two or an anthropomorphized cartoon with a big shapely ass

oh, sometimes there's pictures of food/art people made

lawyers posting about sports, professors posting about pets, celebrities radicalized against fascism

stuff like that, you get used to it

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go,

…but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

This is not an Xbox

Microsoft’s first “Xbox” handhelds are shipping not fully baked.

I am in general skeptical of the value of liberals going on Fox News. You have to be very good at a specific kind of media interaction and most people just aren’t.

This is what it looks like to be good at it.

Zohran Mamdani uses his appearance on Fox News to "speak directly to the president," since "he might be watching right now."

Mamdani looks straight into the Fox camera as he says this >>>

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.
