NYC is so big that when some small disaster happens here we mostly hear about it from relatives that live out of state and see it on tv and then text us assuming we were nearby. Like no mom I didn't get squished by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man I was in a different borough

I'm not investing my time and energy (and data) again in another platform that could get bought by Elon Musk (or another malevolent billionaire) tomorrow.

@Natasha_Jay Statens Vegvesen (Norwegian Public Roads Administration) actually has a propane-powered waffle iron made from two manhole covers, which they bring to events

A man wearing red high-vis road worker jacket and pants is holding the mentioned waffle iron open. He's holding a handle that's been welded to a manhole cover, which is hinged into a base on the other side. The base is a big yellow box with a logo and a blackish top. On the top of the base is another manhole cover -- the bottom plate of the iron.

A finished waffle taking up almost the entire area of the manhole cover is presented on top of the bottom plate.

Warning: Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly Media now wants every human programmer to be replaced by Gen AI. Tim O'Reilly/company policy on book editing and writing went from "avoid Gen AI" to "you must use Gen AI as much as possible, we will monitor you through KPIs to use it as much as possible. So avoid O'Reilly books. Support an indie author. Plenty of them out there who write and sell books. No need to support corporate overlords. Source reddit.com/r/programming/comme

Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI

It's becoming increasingly apparent that one of the reasons why tech companies are so enthusiastic about shoving AI into every product and service is that they fundamentally do not understand why people dislike AI. I will elaborate. I was recently made aware of the Jetbrains developer ecosystem survey, which included a lot of questions about AI. After I answered some of them negatively (and possibly…

Protesters: are you paying attention? Break up the bigger protests into a large number of smaller protests to make things difficult for the Stasi, I mean the SS, I mean the pigs, I… you know what I mean.

Protestors in #Minsk have adopted a different protesting technique and instead of one large gathering they are now grouping in local boroughs. This way there is not enough riot police to go around all boroughs. #Belarus
