   Funny how there's a camera cut each time the car goes from driving to rotating the wheels, or the opposite.

   Annoyingly, the top image is of some random containers, and not of any of those two. This is just dumb and useless.

   Hmmm, these seem less deranged than headings from the previous Markov-chain bots—and kinda less interesting because of that. I guess Markov chains for the headings, Dall-E for images, maybe GPTx for comments. And/or the GPT models shou

   Frankly, once you have some practice, most of these games come down to a few rules that you apply mechanistically. However, I couldn't figure out ‘Cube’, and never in my life had luck with ‘Pegs’.

   I would be angry and irritated about this kind of shenanigans, if I didn't think that with this YouTube are slowly taking a shotgun and shooting right up their nose from both barrels. And I lately come to enjoy some nice corporate mess

   Happy to see that vulnerability names keep going deeper into the metal space: they seem to be making small steps from dad-heavy-metal into the territory of black and doom, corresponding to sometime in the 1970s. I, of course, will continue

    That's not an emoji, though. The symbol is ‘black heart suit’, and it's in unicode since 1993: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2665 Whereas emojis appeared even on Japanese phones in 1997, and were

    Well thanks: I haven't paid any attention to that ‘feature’ before, but now I will inevitably notice it sometime. Hopefully I can kill it with CSS via Stylish.

    ‘Assa’ is about the end of the Soviet era and the coming of Perestroika youth. I haven't seen ‘Chernobyl’ yet, but I doubt I'm gonna see many Perestroika youth among the people at the plant. There were a lot of movies in the lat

    IIRC from when I read about this concept for the first time: Apple managed to revert to bad rounding on the phone shape at some point. And probably reverted back later, but I can't confirm that. Basically, the reader is advised to chec

    I vaguely think that Win9x did have a parameter in the control panel for how much the mouse is allowed to move during a double-click. I made way more than one excursion to the control panel, and I remember thinking that thankfully I didn&#x

    A similar principle works in UI design and industrial design. Rounded rectangles often just slap circle arcs on the corners—but that looks unnatural because you don't get such a shape if you bend a straight rod. In this approach the tu

    Well there it is. If there's a compatibility layer, then what it matters if “we are Weyland” or “not Weyland”.

    I mean, modems and faxes in effect just whistle into the phone line. At some level of proficiency, you might be able to do that yourself ;) Afaik phone phreaking used a variety of whistling devices of different complexity: from https:&#x2F
