They don't know that the ultimate secret password is 0451. Nobody will ever guess that.

On the one hand, coal is thousands of jobs and voters, on the other, the worst polluting, poorest energy producing and biggest dumping of radioactive waste on consumers of any power. GO BIG COAL GO BIG COAL. MAGA, MAGA. Yeah, f*** that, I skipped pep rallies in high school by hiding in the physics lab for this very reason.

Or if it's even still readable. Intel when retrieving the 486 tape-in for the Edison project had to bake the tapes in an oven to remove moisture, and then had ONE CHANCE at imaging the tape as it crumbled to dust going through the reader.

The next step will be Microsoft patenting their "innovative" "invention" to protect it from dastardly Intellectual Property thieves.

I agree. The functions provided by this bed do not require internet connectivity AT ALL, let alone some ridiculous cloud based architecture. $5000 is enough to include a $200 miniPC to monitor temp and positional sensors.

What they're capturing here is that instant coffee can capture the ideal roast-to-brew timing, then dry it out. Drip coffee has so many factors - when the beans were roasted and ground, what type of grinder was used (burr is usually best), water temperature (200F/93C for brewing, give or take), how long it was sitting on a burner after being brewed, etc. Whole beans are usually best within 3 weeks of roasting, ground beans about 3 days from breaking a flavor seal (vacuum packing helps). Try drip coffee like that vs, say, Folger's Crystals a week after opening the can. There should be no natural sourness to it, and when my mom brews ground, canned coffee, it tastes like someone added a lemon.

At which point it will hallucinate that every building is a McDonald's only to get you murdered by a drug cartel gang.

Lying to you to give you that terrible restaurant recommendation. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.06105 is a white paper mathematically proving that LLMs will lie.

I have said this all along- most of AI is GIGO- Garbage in, Garbage out. LLMs were trained on the largest garbage producer in our society today, Web 2.0. Nothing was done to curate the input, so the output is garbage.

I don't often reveal my religion, but https://magisterium.com/ is an example of what LLMs look like when they HAVE curated training. This LLM is very limited. It can't answer any question that the Roman Catholic Church hasn't considered in the last 300 years or so. They're still adding documents to it carefully, but I asked it about a document published a mere 500 years ago and it wasn't in the database, but instead of making something up like most LLMs will do, it kindly responded that the document wasn't in the database. It also, unlike most AI, can produce bibliographies.

Unlike "crazy fox news uncles", none of these people think that gas chambers for people they don't like would be a good idea, worth promoting at every opportunity.

You do realise that this whole intergenerational warfare thing is just standard divide-and-conquer tactics cooked up by the ruling classes and their propagandists-for-hire, don't you?

The truth is that most - as in all but a very tiny fraction of a percent - boomers (and genX-ers) have absolutely no say in anything of any importance, and never have had - no more than most millennials or gen-z or whatever stupid marketing bullshit demographic term they come up with next.

They're not the ones buying up all the housing, or replacing workers with shitty AI, or "innovating" by re-inventing piece-meal work and day-labour exchanges from the 1800s.

At best, some of them might, if they're lucky, own their own home - but most boomers, the vast majority, don't even have that and don't even have any savings - their existence is even more precarious than that of younger generations.

But right, blame Granny. It's all her fault. Never the fault of the .001% who own and control everything.

I find this very amusing.

It would be great if it also served as a wake-up call for everyone who insists on inflicting their files on everyone else in Microsoft Office or Google Docs format....but we all know that's never going to happen.

It's still amusing.

The irony of the two stories being together on the front page, "More Screen Time Linked to Lower Test Scores For Elementary Students" and "Microsoft to Provide Free AI Tools For Washington State Schools" is just too good to fail to mention.

And so I'm replying to the both First Posts with it.
