  • xkcd #3011: Europa Clipper

    Jump

  • The ExplainXKCD is great:

    In truth, no such spoon is present on the probe, and Europa's icy crust is too thick to be penetrated by a spoon of such size.

    The author is either being very tongue-in-cheek or very literal and humourless and I'm enjoying it both ways.

  • Yes Google, 2/3 is TOTALLY the same as 1/2

    Jump

  • Yes, and the Google AI response is correct (and quite clear) in what it says. edit: Thanks Batman. I mean that Google's understanding of the question is logical (although still the maths is wrong as you say (now I've re-read you)) and its answer explained the angle it was answering from.

    However, I think the reasonable assumption for the intention behind the question is relative to a whole. I had third of a pizza, and now I have an extra sixth of a pizza. It's subtle, but that's the kind of thing AI falls down on.

  • Google's AI seems dumber than the rest, for example here's Kagi answering the same (using Claude):

    edit: typoed question originally

    Perhaps Google's tried to make it run too cheaply - Kagi's one doesn't run unless you ask for it, and as a paid product it'll have different priorities.

  • xkcd #3010: Geometriphylogenetics

    Jump

  • I'm more surprised that trapeziums aren't related to triangles.

  • Vulnerable: VHD PTZ camera firmware < 6.3.40 used in PTZOptics, Multicam Systems SAS, and SMTAV Corporation devices based on Hisilicon Hi3516A V600 SoC V60, V61, and V63

    It looks like they're using AI correctly: to identify patterns in huge amounts of data.

    I think they'd struggle to mention their own name more often in that article.

  • Fedora Linux 41 is here

    Jump

  • I like that they used Microsoft Office WordArt for the image.

  • Linux and your family

    Jump

  • I think there's a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.

  • I see! Great work, along with plenty of others in your post history.

    Is this unedited, or did you bring out that contrast in post?

  • btw, it's a rite of passage.

  • This is an amazing shot. Do you have any more information, like the artist?

  • Not

    Jump

  • My (ISO) keyboards do, under the Esc key. I guess you're in North America (or Australia) and have an ANSI layout.

  • Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it?

  • Ah yeah, missed that 🤦‍♂️

  • Because this is the internet, I can't tell if the whoosh goes to your downvoters or you. I think you were joking, but that second sentence makes me wonder...

  • YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog

    Jump

  • I pay for Nebula - $30 a year which is about £22.50. That won't even cover two months of YouTube Premium (£12 pm), and there's not even the discounted yearly option in the UK.

    And "if you're not paying you're the product" is wrong - YouTube/Google would still be datamining my viewing habits to sell to advertisers.

  • Only if enough people do it. Then again, loads scrapers outside of AI already pretend to be normal browsers.

  • TIL the name of computer "bugs" stuck around because a moth got stuck in a computer component in 1947

    Jump

  • The phrasing of "First actual case of bug being found" definitely sounds like it's a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say "a literal bug lol".

    Edit: to be fair, OP doesn't say that Hopper invented the term

  • Fond memories

    Jump

  • I had a "T-Mobile MDA Vario II" (HTC TyTN 300) which was similar, and also had a collapsible stylus which lived in a little hole on the bottom. It was Windows Mobile, but it was great having the keyboard fully accessible (without that extra bottom bit the G1 had).

    It looked like this, just less German:

  • That's the first Android phone, the HTC Dream (or TMobile G1). I loved this phone, even if it was chronically underpowered.
