Meteorite strike caught on P.E.I. home security camera
YouTube video by The Canadian Press Meteorite strike caught on P.E.I. home security camera

I am very very jealous that this family on Prince Edward Island (Canada) had a small meteor hit their sidewalk and managed to catch it on their door cam in what is likely the first audio and visual recording of a meteor strike!

I desperately want an AI that submits travel reports for me so I can get reimbursed for my $12 breakfast without spending way more of my time than that $12 is worth to do it.

Is that what's being built or what I'm being offered? Of course not.

Well, I’m sure American men losing tens of billions of dollars in a way that barely existed prior to 2020 didn’t influence their opinion on the economy or anything.

Amazing that google included code to let it's AI generate correctly formatted math, but not enough to generate actually correct math.

The units don't even make sense!

You know there was once a famous carpenter with long hair and some crazy ideas that turned out to be wise teachings. His name was John Carpenter and he taught us it's more fun to be stoned and play video games than work.

Guy designing the Nostromo: However many chains you think we need on the ship, double--then triple that number and that's what we'll put in the ship's chain room.

Assistant: Yes, sir. And the chains are dry, of course?
