ESTO ES IMPORTANTE

Si alguien modifica una foto tuya (Photoshop, IA…) para desnudarte o denigrarte:

1. Ve a la web de la ONG stopncii.org
2. Sube la foto original y la modificada.

Borrarán la modificada de todas partes en internet. Debes ser mayor de edad y ser foto de ti, no de otros.

Being able to get 4.4L/100km (53 US MPG) on a Diesel hatchback is pretty funny to expose to people in North America :)

It's impressive how such an old episode of Red Dwarf touches such a current tech as AI, and some of its details, but also looks like a sketch of Spanish show Camera Café

How detached from life and society one person could be to make an AI send spam to important computer science persons just to waste people's time and waste computing energy.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

If a problem is improved by sleeping, it's probably a race condition.

If it's a race condition, then sleeping is never a correct solution to the problem... you're just making it less likely to happen, not fixing it...

Saw ‘snow rollers’ for the first time.
A picture of a bunch of snow rollers in a snowy field. Snow rollers are extremely rare, they are hollow cylinders of snow rolled by high winds. The temperature must be just above freezing, the snow must be light and fresh, the winds must be 30 mph or higher.

I knew the newer BMW B series engines are a lot more reliable than their previous ones, but this maybe back this sentiment/analysis.

Also, Mazda is a famously reliable-ish, brand, but I didn't expect that much. Props to them!

please take a moment to appreciate Tesla's epic accomplishment of coming dead last in the auto industry in reliability, despite making relatively expensive cars with a tiny fraction of the moving parts

Happy old year
A black and white comic of the author talkin to themselves, they say “ahhh a new year, a fresh start”. They then look at the calendar in shock seeing it’s already May. “HUH? MAY??” they say. Then they say “that’s fine, I have the whole summer ahead of me!” They look at the calendar, now it’s September. “WHAT?! HUH?” They hold their head in their hands, despairing. “No, no, it’s okay, there’s still time” they look at the calendar which now says December and shriek “STOP!!” At it

Welp, looks like we're teaching the LinkedIn grindset people what The Onion is the hard way.
This is the sort of advertising I love. - It's not very well targeted, because it doesn't need to be. - It's not got a link to buy, or "find out more" or use promo code 10 , in order to merely be able to prove it's success - It's not pretentious or ambitious or demanding or "smart" , it's just based in the reality of the world. - It's calm, confident, noticeable, bold. - It's what it needs to be. I do wonder why we make everything so complicated. Simple isn't easy, but it's essential. Onion ad for the National Pear Council: Just curious, when was the last time you had a pear? That long? How come?

This talks really good and loud about the Renault electric platform, and I'm really happy about an American brand partnering with a European one to make affordable electric cars, instead of going to Asia.

It's incredibly sad how many resources (money, energy, people time) were wasted to make "nothing", and how much we could have improved people's lives by just investing those resources in different types of infrastructure.

This a bit more than the cost of the whole Spanish high speed rail network. All 2,500 miles of it.

What we got instead were shitty avatars and VR glasses.
