Finally feel like doing something with some of the random parts that seemed interesting at the time and have been hanging around my desk for more than a year. I want to make a tiny pico-powered ebook reader. Would sure be nice if the $12, 5cm² micro-sd card breakout didn't cost $18 to ship.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.
The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.
