amazing what absolutely trash used cars now cost 10k EUR when formerly 10k EUR got you a new cheap car

With the news that Google is going to "supercharge" Maps with "AI" (and the poor results I've had with Apple Maps), I finally checked out OpenStreetMap: https://www.openstreetmap.org/

OMG THIS IS AMAZING. So much more useful detail! Incredible! Going to dig up an app for my phone and use this for a while to see how it compares to the ad- and AI-ridden nonsense.

"Capitalism lifts people out of poverty" lmao

My accountant's software decided to treat an IP address found in PDF invoice item as financial data. It took 3 initial octets and summed up a 147€ invoice as 65,108.42€.

Going forward, that's my new go-to argument for IPv6 #IPV6 adoption!

Because there are so many more cis people than trans people, most of the time when someone "clocks" a person as trans, that person will actually be cis - most positives will be false positives. We're now seeing the grim outcomes of this basic math in Utah: https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/ut-cisgender-athlete-police-protection-threats

I was in Seattle visiting friends and on the way back we impromptu wanted to visit Mt. Rainer. I had realized that the moon phase was new and the galaxy core would still be visible so I got my camera out and took this in a random part of the park. This remains to be one of the cleanest photo of the galaxy core I've gotten so far.

Ignorance works both ways. It can make simple concepts seem like magic, like how my mom calls me a Computer Genius because I helped her log into Gmail once.

But it also works to make complicated things look simple.

Yesterday I boosted a video posted by @Green_Footballs about the invention of the blue LED and how that revolutionized our world. I remember when those came out and how I thought "...ummm, dude, it's blue light bulb..."

if I had a nickel for every time a comic book ape was friends with Fidel Castro I'd have two nickels, which isn't much but still funny that it happened twice

Czytam sobie właśnie na Hacker News, że googlowy bot LLM odmówił odpowiedzi na pytanie o najszybszy sposób kopiowania bloku pamięci w C#, ze względów etycznych. Ejajowa klauzula sumienia?

@emill1984 jako że pracuję w tym biznesie, odniosę się do tego wpisu:
Aplikacje to najgorsza forma zamawiania usług. Od strony usługodawcy wiąże się to z lichwiarskimi kosztami (dla taksówkarzy 20-35%, dla restauracji 30-35%), zaś od strony klienta zazwyczaj z gorszą obsługą. Jeśli ktoś ma alternatywę, to zawsze lepiej zadzwonić.
