I wish they could have left her funnels on to sink with the rest of the ship. I suspect if they did the tops would be too shallow and a hazard to navigation. Or maybe they didn’t want them to rust and fall unexpectedly on some divers.

I’ve also heard it as drouth. It is, in fact, an archaic alternate spelling

I bet the Tov developers used a clanker to write the rust for them.

The maintainers of the python library are wrong. Handling backwards time jumps is basic correctness for software where time is used to derive a semantically meaningful value.

Spend the money on something we already know works that will help people today, right now.

It's not even a test of an orbital data center. All it will do it determine if and how a Google TPU performs in space.

Only 841 fewer in 270M miles is not the flex waymo might think it is.

Did you know birds do not have receptors for capsaicin? They can eat any pepper and it doesn't affect them. So if you see a bird snacking on a pepper that's red or greenish-yellow, wrinkly, and has a pointy end, well ... watch out

Yes of course they do. It's only the AI bros who are trying to use the tech for accountability washing claiming otherwise.

It's 2026. Talking about pandemic over-hiring for the current job market is like blaming the Biden administration for gas prices.

Quarter pound of chicken? Nobody goes to mickey D's for chicken. People think : Chick-fil-A when they want a chicken sandwich. Tip for McD's execs: bring back the McRib indefinitely and keep it front and center until/unless beef prices drop.

The requirement for connected network topology is a non-starter for many SaaS products. I don't want my systems to be open to some backchannel communication from the SaaS providers service.

Note the CEO here blames the employees, using the "you're holding it wrong" excuse.

It was listed at $25 million, later cut to $20 million. Ok, I understand paying a bit of a premium for an iconic property, but... "Even with the price cut, the eight-figure home is about $18 million higher than the median for its surrounding neighborhood".

That's not a premium price, that's 10x over market. Plus, it's on the National Register of Historic Places, meaning whoever buys it is committing to maintaining it according to the listing.

How about the Stahl family donate it to the National Park Service, along with an endowment to fund upkeep? Let a historic property be historic, not a shiny bauble for a billionaire status symbol.

I got the details about classes of shares and preferential stuff technically wrong, it’s true. I still got the gist of the arrangement correct: VCs and founders get the pizza, everyone else gets the crusts

No, we're arguing over whether or not openai stole the other researcher's work. The evidence is pretty damning.

Bold of you to think undocumented workers making subsistence wages under a brutal system have access to annual physicals, much less the sort of continuously documented medical history needed to spot and address abnormalities before they become life-threatening emergencies.

If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't theft.

Startups define different classes of stock. The class A shareholders are the founders and investors. Everyone else gets class B shares. The A class shares don't get diluted, and they are inherently worth more anyway.

Hey it's sunrpc

I see the author has used the "it's just a tool" argument for "responsible LLM usage.

When you have an LLM ready-to-hand, what's possible and desirable is determined by the capabilities of the LLM.

> AI is already better than most developers

By what measure? How do you even compare developer skill?

“The long term sustainability of the commons depends on an AI ecosystem that produces shared benefits”

Do any of the big players in the AI business even have this on their radar? Other than vague “we’ll eventually get AGI and it will cure cancer and fix climate change and everything”?

"assisted by Grammarly"

Yeah, it doesn’t take AI to recognize throngs like passive voice, excessive wordiness, cliché phrases, and run-on sentences. But the writer was free to reject those suggestions.

Putting a gigantic thumb on the Free Market™ scale.

It's going to get nearly impossible to avoid the taint of some AI, at least for a while. The article first mentions Grammarly, a tool that up until was a normal English language grammar and style checker, widely used and appreciated by many writers. In 2025, they added something nobody asked for. Now it's a vector for AI taint, and given how widely it's used, there's untold numbers of tainted documents out there now.

The article doesn't mention, however, the incorporation of AI into the writing tools themselves. Copilot in Word means that everything written with it is suspect. Google has shoved Gemini into everything it can. Do we believe everyone when they say they didn't use AI assistance? Probably not, because even the spell and grammar check is suspect now.

I'm sure the BNPL platforms are ensuring the information about who is borrowing money to buy what is kept private and not shared with every data broker on the planet. /s
