En weer gaat de Nobelprijs voor de Geneeskunde naar een wetenschapper. Jammer, ik had het eerlijker gevonden als Gerda van Facebook dit jaar zou winnen. Zij ontwikkelde namelijk een bijzondere methode hoe ze met haar eigen onderbuik heel precies aan kan voelen hoe medicijnen werken.

Het is allemaal technisch mogelijk, maar niet voor niet-techneuten. Discoverability is in dat soort netwerken ook vaak een probleem.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

google wants to introduce errors into my spreadsheets and attribute them to me
screenshot of a popup on Google Sheets with two buttons "Learn more" and "Got it" header reads "Gemini can now do more for you in Sheets" with "for" scribbled out in red, and the word AS above it, so it says "Gemini can now do more AS you in Sheets" below that: Gemini can now make requested changes and insert content directly into your files. HIGHLIGHTED TEXT: All inserted content will be attributed to you in version history. For inline features like =Al), Gemini will insert content directly. For the side panel, Gemini will provide a preview first unless it understands your goal is a direct edit, such as making a pivot table or adding conditional formatting. Gemini in Workspace can make mistakes, including about people, so double-check responses.
