We often just call them “charts”, too, regardless if it’s just a wall of text.

My friend used to work for CNET. She was laid off along with a decent amount of her coworkers years ago, maybe as much as 10+ IIRC, but yeah - they’ve been going downhill for awhile now and it seems to only be accelerating.
It’s really a shame because they used to be such a trusted source. Enshittification marches on to a steady beat.
So she’s a classical kind of girl?
Those eps were excellent, as well as his piece in Rolling Stone.
I suppose I’ve failed this test then :(
Focusing the Friday morning address on the “anthropological crisis and the necessary promotion of human and Christian vocations,” Pope Francis said this task is challenged by myriad social challenges arising from the cultural zeitgeist, including gender ideology.
Highlighting the anthropological angle of the conference, the pope pointed to “an elementary and fundamental truth, which today we need to rediscover in all its beauty: The life of the human being is a vocation.”
The pope emphasized that this is a foundational element “which underlies every call within the community” and “has to do with an essential characteristic of the human being as such.”
What the fuck does this even mean?
Much of that board was booted once Altman was brought back, and the lawsuit suggests he “hand-picked” a new board with little “technical expertise or any substantial background in AI governance, which the previous board had by design.”
Instead, the lawsuit states, the new board included members “with more experience in profit-centric enterprises or politics than in AI ethics and governance. They were also reportedly ‘big fans of Altman.’
Bro let me tell you about a little company called “Twitter”. Sit down tho, because that shit is wild.
Perfect description…you said it better than I’ve been able to.
Credit to them for not wanting to move to 98 either.
Their search used to be amazing, now it’s shit.
If you disagree, I’m sorry you can’t remember when there was a time that it was infinitely better. It was so good, in fact, that their name actually became a verb. Crazy, right?
They’re slowly killing Waze by removing features. Believe it or not, that app used to be even cooler too.
That. That’s why.
Another method of expressing sarcasm is by placing a tilde (~) adjacent to the punctuation. This allows for easy use with any keyboard, as well as variation. Variations include dry sarcasm (~.)
TIL - I’m an engineer & when I email colleagues, I will use ~ in a sentence to mean “about” - as in estimate, roughly, not quite equal to but close enough, etc.
Granted, the symbol is in a different place to denote sarcasm, but now I’m wondering how popular the usage of ~ is in the context of sarcasm, and have I ever confused someone because they only knew this context?
Interesting.

As a degreed mechanical engineer, yes. I never would have graduated without it.
Won’t someone think of the empty tunnel in Vegas? :(
In recent news, Google has put forth a proposal known as the “Web Environment Integrity Explainer”, authored by four of its engineers.
Imagine someone telling you this is your job and you do it.
If anyone wants to read more about AMOC, here is a description from NASA along with the NASA illustration that was in the article:
BRIEF: As the ocean warms and land ice melts, ocean circulation — the movement of heat around the planet by currents — could be impacted. Research with NASA satellites and other data is currently underway to learn more.
Edit: climate.nasa.gov is fantastic for this kind of stuff, btw. They have tons of data from their satellites you can download, visualizations, videos, charts, graphics, tutorials…just all sorts of things. It’s very cool.
I would watch this. Probably multiple times.
I found this on the About section of the page:
Daily News Reported is a fabricated satirical newspaper and comedy website. Daily News Reported uses invented names in all its stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental.
Agree, and I was more so using the comparison between “early intentions” vs “real action” that both of the companies made. Basically, they lied to everyone, got in control, and did whatever they wanted.
