It's unlikely the USA would be granted an exclusive patent for the atomic bomb given the well-established existence of prior-art in the form of nuclear fission on the sun. (I actually appreciated your analogy, despite my lark)

I've owned several pairs of AirPods over the years and this is the first I'm learning about some of their features. I almost found myself wanting there to be a third column for indicating Apple support (of course I'm being fa

I think that's what everyone is going to think. Hot take: At least they're ripping the bandaid now instead of stringing users along and eventually abandoning it like they normally do.

I never really used the Antigravity IDE, but had it installed. The update also made me do a double take and wonder what the hell was going on. It seems like Google is hitting the reset button on the product they call "Antigravity"

It appeals to me as a minimalistic version of the Bear[1] notes app. A few years ago I played around with copying the Bear app interface for the web, the idea was to create a visually identical mockup of the app so you could immediately vis

Am I correct that this has come about because archive.org respects robots.txt and these sites have blocked their crawler from indexing their sites? I'm not sure how to articulate my thoughts on this exactly, other than to say it's

Yeesh, is "never reading the code" really the modus operandi we want from AI? Microsoft, for all their warts, at least had the compassion to call their AI product "Copilot", suggesting we have some residual agency in w
