I appreciate the token breakdown, but how much would this cost in money? Chatgpt estimated $400 to $600, but I don't have enough knowledge of token pricing to know if that's accurate at all.

> a brief glitch in which users of the dictation feature saw the name “Trump” flash across their screen when they spoke the word “racist” into their iPhones

"Glitch" more like "Easter egg" I suspect.

There was an emoji search/copy-paste web site that I use when I need to find an emoji. Once upon a time, when you typed "Trump" into the search, one of the results was the poop emoji. It no longer returns that, but it does return the Russian flag.

I like seeing satellites at night. The first time I saw one was during a family trip to watch a meteor shower. As we watched for meteors, my dad pointed out a passing satellite. Then he told me a story of how in his youth, satellites were so rare and new that the local newspapers would publish when one was going to pass over the area so folks could go out and spot it.

On that camping trip, I think we only noticed the one satellite. 20 years later, I can now go in my front yard and see several satellites every few minutes, and point them out to my kids, and retell the story their grandfather told me.

When I was a kid making games, I used ZZT. My brother recently got back into it and started teaching his kids for to make ZZT games. I found the programming language too constrictive. It didn't have great support for things like variables and loops. I still enjoyed it. My brother reasoned that the small instruction set makes it easy for his kids to learn to code in it. I suppose that's true. But he never learned to code in higher level languages, so he doesn't really know how frustrating it is to have to write so much ZZT code to accomplish something which would be so simple in another language.

I don't know that part. I think the context menu is configured in the Registry, and there may be apps for editing those values.

You can shift+right-click to get the old right click context menu.

I think the problem to solve here is repetitive stress injury caused by typing

Maybe. That sounds like the story he told me. But now I'm wondering if I'm misremembering the friend part. Maybe he read the story when he was posted in 1997 and told me about it.

My brother had a friend who tried to register fuck.com in the early days of the Internet, around 1994, and the registrar was confused and wanted to know why he wanted to register it. This was when the Internet was mostly universities and a .com cost $100 to register.

I click on the link on Android Firefox and nothing happens.

Can you elaborate on the process? Do you just provide it with the ROMs and it is able to pull apart the relevant sprites and code pieces, and recombine into a new ROM?

I'm not trying to dismiss the gravity of the abuse these camera systems facilitate.

My comment was meant to convey that the headline on this post was missing the context of the locality in which the searches were happening.

The story is really about one dispatcher using the system improperly in one police department.

The truncated headline here implies that one person was responsible for 95% of all Flock camera searches.

> Flock camera searches fall 95% in Highland Heights after dispatcher's misconduct caught

I hadn't considered that, but I don't think so. I'm corresponding with someone from American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

I currently have a case open with Honda corporate customer support, and I have this suspicion that the email responses I receive are being generated with an LLM directed by a human. Either that, or I'm corresponding with a human who has poor written communication skills. The text grammatically correct, but overly verbose and repetitive. It reminds me of LLM text, but from a model that is several generations behind today's models.

Maybe it's like when you can just tell a picture is AI. You recognize the words you are reading, but to your brain, the way the words are put together feel wrong.

Incidentally, I was reading Harry Potter to my kids last night. While waiting for everyone to arrive, I started reading the previous chapter to those who were present. But I read the sentences backwards while using a vocal inflection of regular narration. My 6-year-old recognized that something was wrong and asked me to "stop reading funny". My 11-year-old recognized that I was reading backwards. The same 6-year-old thinks every silly photo that I show him is AI, while my older children can actually spot the AI.

You must be in Philly. Every time I visit IKEA, I'd have a meal in the cafe and sit by the window to look at it.

Thank you!

Is there a way to see the old versions of this page? I really liked the one they did for Encanto. The frame by frame sequence in that one was particularly fun.

That reminds me of a time time. I was visiting a children's museum and they had a exhibit piece where you could use a physical flywheel spinner controller to scrub back and forth in a video. I don't know if that's the standard physical control for video production scrubbing, but it was really fun to use.

I remember back when I was heavily into making Doom 2 maps, I had a sort of Tetris effect where I started seeing real world building interiors as the sectors and textures that I could use to recreate the building in Doom.

I tried Quake map making, but the 3D tools were too complex for young me to figure out, also my PC was too slow to use them.

Before posting, I always do a ctrl+F, and I was glad to see my search for "not to play" found a hit.

I find a game of Monopoly so boring and it takes too long to play.

And also I was thinking of WarGames.

Does Nintendo et al have teams dedicated to jailbreaking their own consoles first before a jailbreak is found in the wild ?

Do they use AI to review their code for exploits?

Your CG (AI?) trailer seems to be an homage to the propaganda reels in the Starship Troopers film. I believe StarCraft was inspired by the Starship Troopers book.

I don't recall if the original StarCraft CG trailers had nods to the film.

Also, I remember ordering a demo CD for 3D Studio Max and it came with videos of a few StarCraft trailers, presumably made with 3D Studio Max.

I thought the same thing. My back yard is full of huge rocks. Nothing quite that large, maybe 1/3 of that size. A few doors down there is a boulder twice as big as the O'Hare one.

I'm speaking in volume. I'm not sure of the mass of these boulders.

Please tell me someone actually submitted this as part of their dissertation.

I'm trying to imagine the origin story for this science, and I feel like the most fun one is that somebody wanted to make Doritos flavored chicken and accidentally discovered that the marinade turned the chicken breast transparent.

Blue jays are so aggressive towards the other birds that come to feed at my kitchen window. We get cardinals, titmouse, chickadee, robins, and others. The blue jays are triple their size and don't care for the competition.

What happens if you place something on the top of one of these things? I'm imagining a second robot that sits atop and sprays silly sting at pedestrians it detects. Or one with an air horn that goes of randomly. or one that attaches to the side at the bottom and uses a series of spray chalk guns to dot matrix messages into the sidewalk. :p

Don't know how they worked, but what you did to create one was rename a .wav to a .jpg .gif .bmp .etc

AOL Instant Messenger had several remote code execution exploits. They worked just by sending an IM to someone. You could also crash their computer remotely, or maybe it would just create their client.

Also their stored password encryption algorithm was easily reversible.

What if players could claim a small plot of squares that is frozen in time while you draw your creation. Their changes are visible to all while working on it, and when they unfreeze it, the chaos begins.
