Maybe this time the world will finally realize that building the entire internet on ~3 services is not a good idea...

It has been now 3 1/2 months since OpenAI demo'd GPT5 fixing a bug in their own repository. They said they are going to merge it right after the presentation is over. They still haven't and now also resorted to locking down the thread to only contributors.

All this is missing is another block for ffmpeg at the very bottom and it's perfectly accurate

Travelling with Deutsche Bahn is always something new. I had everything as reasons for delays, floods, damaged trains/tracks, bomb-defusals, no train-driver, evacuation of stranded trains, hurricanes, all of it. But we never had to stop because there was a gas leak ahead on the road.

Until now...

We landed on the moon with ~4kib of RAM and now we regressed so much that one of the biggest companies in the world cannot do better than using 1GB of RAM while idling...

Meta just killed native WhatsApp on Windows 11, now it opens WebView, uses 1GB RAM all the time
Windows 11 has just got a 'major' upgrade, and you're probably going to hate it because it uses 1-2GB RAM all the time.

If you ever want to break ChatGPT just ask it what the emoji for a seahorse is. The AI really really really wants there to be one and gets angry at itself if it cannot find one

I had the privilege of working for the first time on a circuit for a friend who had his very first race in the BelCar Sprint Cup at Zolder. I had an absolute blast and made so many memories and also photos of the EuroNascar-races that where racing after us that I will treasure forever.

I learned today that you shouldn't use System UI as a font-family when styling a website because it not only depends on your operating-system, but also your local language of your system.

This article perfectly shows why libraries are amazing. Mine offers so much, refreshments, book-scanners, video-games and even their own streaming-service, all for just 15€ a year. Support your local library folks, they deserve it.

Personally I prefer Thingamajik over Snarfus since it works better together with Hoobadihoo and Teombofarfus but who am I to judge

Sometimes in Germany you find people putting old stuff on the street that you can pick up for free. Most of the time it's old furniture, movies or books. And sometimes it's a 1988 Sega Mega Drive with a Sega 32X addon & 14 Atari 2600 games 😂

At this point if a company asks me to do an interview with an AI for a job I am just going to decline directly. I don't want to waste an hour or more of my day talking into the room with nobody on the other side. You can't build a connection, ask questions or get to know the person or company.

Not so fun fact: The country Tuvalu has a highest elevation of 2m and will be 50% flooded by 2050 due to global warming. It also holds the domain .tv, making it incredibly interesting for websites such as Twitch. Now the question is, if the country ceases to exist, what will happen do that domain?

If you are European and haven't already, please make sure to sign this petition to force gaming-companies to offer users the option to host their own servers, even if they shut their own down. It already reached the required minimum but you can't go to low with signatures.

This is what the Internet was made for and I am so glad I was able to listen to it
I've referenced it enough that now it's all I can hear when I read it. Now you have to hear it too 🙉 ericwbailey.website/published/yo...
You MUST listen to RFC 2119
It turns out you can just pay people to do things.
