You haven't had the full Aquilo experience until you've had to re-bootstrap your frozen base from solar.

You can do some remarkably powerful things just by connecting a tank or chest to something and setting it to enable when there's more or less than a certain amount of stuff in the container.

My first Gleba base looks like someone dropped a bowl of spaghetti. Everyone's an Italian chef the first time they go to Gleba.

How many times has your Aquilo base blacked out and frozen over?

My base only has 500 logic controlled trains, I don't have a problem.

I mean, we have some far right nuts. The thing is, the Venn diagram of far right nuts and people who might buy an EV is just two circles.

There's always that one guy giving a seller a one star review because the local delivery guy fucked something up.

Yeah, the point where companies don't want to run those services at a loss any more is going to be interesting.

We’re opening the door to charging for simple Google type searches. I worry that 15 years from now, I’ll have to pay like $1 per question.

Search engines cost money to run. If you aren't paying for the product, you're being monetized some other way. You're the product that's served up to the real customers - the businesses who buy data and advertising.

That's why Kagi is a thing even though there's free search engines all over the place - you pay a monthly subscription, and then you are the search engine's customer.

The issue isn't the 'never stop working' part, that sucks but isn't illegal. It's the 'stop paying but don't stop working' part that's a problem.

Breaks might not be required, but you still aren't allowed to take a break from paying an employee while still making them work.

Apparently there's also AI generated guidebooks, which look completely legitimate but are actually random nonsense.

 

"We did it, we time travelled!"

"But to what year?"

"Let me ask that guy over there."

"What's up with the president?"

"Republican idiot's starting a war over oil."

"I have no idea."

 
  1. The feedback window decided to annoy me by popping up by itself.

  2. I figured I might as well complain about the weather radar taking more clicks to access the information I want.

  3. The feedback window broke because the BOM site now relies on scripts from Google's reCAPTCHA service which my browser blocks by default. Yes, I know this is mostly on me, but it was just the icing on the cake.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!

 

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

 

Something about fibre to the node inspired me.
