LLMs are the greatest invention ever, this is too funny 🤣

Catfishing Bot has a poor understanding of jokes.

Protesting for a cause is one thing — dealing with reimbursements and paperwork is another entirely. Shows that even grassroots movements aren't immune to administrative frustrations.

It's great to be paid for protesting and everything but let me tell you the whole antifa reimbursement process is just terrible

He has a video in which French tries to pronounce the letter R in English... I'll let you guess which class I use it in

On AI & water usage, it looks like all US data center usage (not just AI) ranges from 628M gallons a day (counting evaporation from dam reservoirs used for hydro-power) to 200-275M with power but not dam evaporation, to 50M for cooling alone.

So not nothing, but also a lot less than golf courses.

Now, I run in kilometres but measure my pace in minutes per mile. Sometimes I flip that around... I am broken 🤪

oooh this looks awesome! I’ve been having my students do this with a ton of mutate()s and with lots of tinkering, like this evalsp25.classes.andrewheiss.com/example/synt... but this seems a ton easier #rstats

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

This is my cue to update the video on the filesystem I make most of my students watch (I think the current one is from 2020)

sometimes i do think that my greatest educational contribution is doggedly insisting that every youth in every one of my classes learns what a directory is

I think I got Hero Quest first but ended up liking Space Crusade more. Haven't played them in decades but I am pretty sure from a game mechanic point of view Hero Quest was better, but I am a sucker for Space Marines
