When making your search, type “-ai” at the end. For example:

How tall is the Eiffel tower -ai

You’re welcome.

And, probably just as importantly, the “too-young” voters OVERWHELMINGLY want to rejoin.

I never understood this take, or most takes implying that the “take 'em apart and put 'em together” form of teleportation wouldn’t be the holy grail of science.

Being able to teleport something is cool and all, but the thing that people should care about much much more is what that actually means: you are disassembling and reassembling a person or object at the atomic level.

This means, you are able to take an arbitrary collection of atoms, and build it into an arbitrary formation.

That’s not a teleporter, that’s a matter printer. Any and all economic implications of teleportation become mute, as the entire concept of an economy becomes irrelevant with the ability to print anything out of literally dirt and rubbish.

Even the concept of human life becomes practically worthless, since if you can put together a human, what’s to stop you from putting together 2? Or 20? Or put together the latest backup of someone who died?

If anyone ever manages to invent this kind of teleportation, it would matter for about 3 seconds before being eclipsed by whatever consequences this has for humanity as a whole - good and bad.

+1 to let’s encrypt and certbot, but pro tip: remember to actually set up certbot, or your friends will laugh at you when your systems all break 6 months later…

No. You are explicitly supposed to go to the very end of the closing lane, and then merge, not before it closes.

Oh I’ve seen some pretty bad interviewing, where HR is sent in with a question sheet and a box to tick for which key words the interviewee mentioned per question.

Obviously a red flag and useless method of interviewing, but it does happen frighteningly often. Especially where the IT team is so understaffed, they can’t spare the time to do interviews.

Longer is always better, but a fully random password will always be stronger than a “memorable” password of equal length.

You need exactly one memorable password, and that should be the one to your password manager, maybe two if you need to log into your device first. From there everything else should be long and random. Hell, with most of them you don’t ever even need to know your own passwords, the tool just handles them itself.

XKCD has it right that you need length over complexity, but it’s also from 2011. Today, we very easily can and should get both.

Passwords should be like bad experiences.

The more you remember the worse they were.

Agreed, I use AI for coding the way I used to use Stack Overflow:

Find me code examples, explain an error or give me some summaries of how something should work but then I go confirm that or test it separately!

I never trusted Stack Overflow for anything more than pointing me in the right direction for what to research. Documentation links, snippets, blogs etc, that sort of stuff. As long as I tell the AI to give me a reference, about 60-70% of the time I’ll get something I can actually use to confirm the code it gave me or get an answer for my question. At best what it does is save me googling time.

Hmm. Well, most chemical desiccants would probably cause moderate to severe damage when breathed in, and with a bit of suspense of disbelief could explain developmental issues…

That’s a hot start for this year’s owl of the year bracket I’d say! Being newly discovered will surely boost its chances.

First they made you fear someone, then they told you they lived down the street.

Debatable how deliberate that was, but it’s certainly not not what they wanted…

While funny, the whole idea of tracking your data enough to give you a wrapped kind of goes completely against everything these extensions are supposed to do.

My suggested alternative is you click the wrapped button and it just says:

“Fucked if I know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
