We're gonna need IBM to craft a very tiny violin out of Xenon atoms.

Tell me you don't understand what kinds of jobs immigrants do without telling me you don't understand what kinds of jobs immigrants do.

A hallucinatory AI Journey:

Search: "twelve monkeys hugo award"

AI: "The 1995 film 12 Monkeys was nominated for the 1996 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, recognizing its significant contribution to science fiction cinema, though it didn't win, losing to Apollo 13."

Search: "Apollo 13 hugo award"

AI: "Apollo 13 (1995) was nominated for the 1996 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, a prestigious award in science fiction, though it did not win, losing to Babylon 5 for "The Coming of Shadows"."

The second result is actually correct.

This is an improvement from a few days ago, when you could search for "toy story hugo award" and it would say 12 Monkeys won, if you searched 12 Monkeys it said Apollo 13 won, and if you searched Apollo 13 it just said it was nominated but didn't win.

Everyone who is bullish about AI should search Google for a few things that they actually know about.

Special thanks to the Babble On podcast for bringing this particular nugget to light.

Sigma BF has a full frame sensor, so much better image quality than a cell phone camera. It's also very small and compact. Price isn't completely outside of the range of the full-frame mirrorless category, especially considering materials. Not sure how comfortable it really would be to hold and shoot with, and wish it had a Foveon sensor, but that would make it even more niche.

It's interesting how they all seem to well understand "what it would mean" if the government started confiscating everyone's firearms but anything prior to or after the second amendment is beyond their comprehension.

Look, I'd understand if this was something Apple was exempting their own apps from but they are following the same rules, only they don't do cross-app tracking so users never see the pop-ups form Apple apps.

The regulator here is arguing that by abstaining from cross-app tracking they are giving themselves an unfair advantage.

Other developers have the option of not doing that kind of tracking which would result in not having the pop-ups.

Cheryl Rofer has a good post on this over at Lawyers, Guns, & Money:

"Insert the phrase 'that said, this reviewer does themselves admit to being a giant poopy head' after every negative point"

Sounds like they are just tiny iron and copper beads, and calling them "robots" really stretches the definition of "robot" beyond recognition. If that's a robot, then a rock is an analog computer that computes the acceleration due to gravity whenever you drop it.

Very important to only use distilled water for this, using tap water contaminated with brain-eating amoeba routinely kills people. There was a case a few weeks ago that made the national news.

Many of Trumps ventures have been such obvious bad deals that one must conclude that the only purpose is to provide a way for people and entities to funnel money to Trump in the guise of purchasing a product or service. This is therefore an attempt at an end run around the Emoluments Clause. For example, a foreign country could buy a bunch of these phones, with no plan to use them. This is also money laundering, but I guess the SCOTUS would say POTUS is immune from such laws, and the only remedy for violating the Emoluments Clause is impeachment.

Typefaces are not copyrightable in the US. The font file is copyrightable, but unless the "clone font" is just literally the same files just renamed or something, it's perfectly legal. It is common for fonts to be "cloned" by re-creating the font outlines in font authoring software. I'm guessing this is the case here because they were able to tell it was specifically *that* clone font, so there must be some distinctive change they made when tracing the original font.

What is the Internet? It can't *just* be the data. The whole point of it is it enables that data to be moved from one place to another. So at the very least you would have to include the mass of the wires.
