Well it did top a chart - the Digital Download (IE purchase for $0.99) Chart, with.... 3,000 sales. As Rick says, "So it cost $3,000 to get the #1 spot."

Were the lyrics generated by AI? Were they tweaked or modified by a person? Is any of the music "real" or all generated by AI? I can't seem to find specifics on any of that.

Here's a YouTube link for those who don't pay for Spotify.

Song starts out kinda flat but the vocals really build at the end.

I recently bought a Steam Deck, and I must say this is one of the best gaming devices / consoles I've ever owned. From the ability to switch straight over to a (very nice) Linux desktop, to a refined game store that just works, it seems to do a LOT of things right. The dual touchpads are awesome for mouse navigation in the linux desktop, even if they are hardly used in games.

It's totally unlocked / open platform (which is why I have several thousand games on there from about 20 different consoles - even Amiga games). And of course I have a bunch of modern games on there too.

A number of games run through Proton on the deck, and so all of this is ground Valve has already broken - it's just offering it with more powerful hardware which requires a non-portable form factor (for better cooling and greater power requirements).

All transactions will be done using $Trumpcoin -- two birds, one scam - I mean, stone - and all that. :-)

Several articles have noted that pennies will remain exchangeable for the foreseeable future and legal currency forever. So people in the U.S. should be able to use them up / get rid of them (through payments) eventually.

The Treasury and trade/retail groups are looking at guidelines and/or legislation for a national standard on transaction rounding. The latter to protect themselves from potential state lawsuits from rounding short-changes (last paragraph below).

Joke's on them, I'll just put my outgoing mail in boxes. :-)

Just to nit-pick... (a) Ryanair doesn't have any flights in the U.S. (according to Google) and (b) there are procedures available to fly within the U.S. w/o a Real ID, and other forms of ID are also acceptable (also listed on page below), like a valid passport or DOD ID.

I'd be more surprised if it was some other kind of flare from the Sun.

Immediately kicking people out of their in-progress reservations doesn't seem like winding down. No mentions of compensation for any inconvenience Sonder imposed on their now-former guests either.

Guessing you really can't ClickFix it. :-)

Certainly don't ever, "copy a string of text, open a terminal window, paste it in, and press Enter".
Seriously, why would any legitimate site ask you to do that. [*smacks forehead*]

This is a misleading headline, making it sound like more PS5s have been sold than all Xbox models combined. What this article is really saying is that more PS5 consoles have been sold than any individual generation of Xbox console. So more PS5s have been sold than Xbox 360, and more than Xbox One, etc.

Less PS5s have been sold so far (84 million) than any previous generation. The most popular was the PS 2, having sold 160 million.

That's because China's industrial production has been flat to declining for 18 months.

First of all, lying is a strong word. You can't know there was any intention behind the error.
But if the judge had thrown out your case, then a person who committed an act that was against the law would have gone free. Which isn't a good thing, regardless of what was or wasn't legalized after the fact and regardless of how you and I feel about that act. (For the record I couldn't possibly care less about pot possession or use.)

Why didn't he? Presumably because clerical mistakes aren't sufficient cause for mistrial.

It doesn't matter if AI fabrications represent or misrepresent the spirit of the law. Case law citations need to reflect the actuality of prior case findings so the judge can rule based on those previous rulings. Giving a judge fake material that encourages them to rule the way legislators intend is fraudulent regardless of a convenient outcome.

Look, if you don't see a difference between "your honor, here is the video evidence of the accused stealing cars that night... five in total... wait, what... three... sorry, here's the video evidence of the accused stealing three in total" and "your honor, in the 1984 case of Santa Clause v The President of Mars, the judge found that wearing green is grounds for conviction... wait... you don't believe that's a real case? I told ChatGPT to not make shit up. Huh." then we don't have anywhere to go. While I am sympathetic to the specific cause for your court visit, I just don't see it remotely the same as knowingly using a bullshit bot.
