The two greatest evils known to mankind, A.I. and the person directly in front of you in line at the post office, have finally teamed up. We’re done.
Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

Bittorrent is by far the fastest and most efficient way of sharing large files over the internet. It's a shame its use has been largely confined to pirating media.

the airport is supposed to be a test of your ability to maintain a zen-like tranquility amidst the noise and chaos. entering the lounge is accepting a defect in your personal character. unless you have kids of course, all bets are off if you have kids

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Perplexity's agent allowed users to request purchases, such as "buy the best noise-canceling headphones," and then researched and purchased items on Amazon.

I had a small discussion a while ago where they said that unit tests should never hit the database.
I honestly don't know why it is such a big deal? It is so much easier to write. Unit tests are also the fastest test to run. 545 tests under a second ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Those multi-colour pens were bulky, uncomfortable to use, never had good quality ink, and didn't actually help you use a pen better but only give the image of flexibility.

A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.
