"You all dislike the lift-and-coast style of racing, right? How about we develop a new formula where drivers can stay full throttle at all times?"

"YAY!"

"And we do the lift and coast automatically and more dramatically on all straights."

"... no?"

With each onboard under these new regulations my brain goed "well, they've abandoned that lap", and then they come across the finish in 1st. This definitely takes some getting used to. #f1 #ausgp

Alternatively, I see an opportunity for Invisalign or something else with a link to dentistry.

Holy heck! A new Physics Girl video:

Cartoon showing a hallway in the White House. A gold-painted trophy cabinet has an ornate top with the name 'Donald J. Trump', a dove of peace and a crown above it. In the cabinet, we see the FIFA Peace Prize, a frame with the logo of the Board of Peace with the image of Donald Trump and the text 'Chairman for Life', and a display case with the label 'Reserved for Nobel Peace Prize'. Next to the cabinet is an open doorway with a sign 'Department of War'. Through the doorway, we see a war room with Trump, pushing a big red button and looking up at a big screen that has the map of Iran with a big target projected over it. A general offers him a McDonald's meal on a silver platter.

The peace president. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl.

Why chasing twitter's approval doesn't work The opinions you believe are universal are being fed to you by an algorithm designed to show you what you want.

Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question:

"why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]"

It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good.

How cool is this? Reminds me of the also good old days of TinyPTC (by @mas-bandwidth.bsky.social if I'm not mistaken?). They make graphics programming so much fun.

So ridiculously good! Amazing work.

For those interested in physics-based character animation in VR, I can recommend tomorrow's talk by my colleague Joan Llobera where he will detail the contribution from the Artanim Foundation (www.artanim.ch) in the @presencexr.bsky.social Horizon Europe project. Sign up now!

Well, that is quite the start to what should be a 24 hour race if I'm not mistaken. But if we're going for a battle royale, this is not a bad start. #daytona24 #imsa

😭 I for one can apparently not spell "disappointed", but you live and you learn. I'll do better next time. 😁

Why does that thumbnail look at me as if I've already disappointe you?

COMING SOON: AI + Guy™

HOW? You see 7 laps on the counter, 50 left, with 25 per tyre ... how do you not math that?

That's one strange looking pharmacy.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Boo indeed. It's a sad day.

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.] JANET: Ugh... LIZ: What's up? JANET: I am so bored of cooking peas! LIZ: Have you tried... AI peas? JANET: AI peas? LIZ: They're peas with AI! [Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI]. LIZ: Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas JANET: What LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines] Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas? [Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it] LIZ: Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine [Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas] LIZ: With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas! JANET: What LIZ: Shut up LIZ: Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow From opening the bag of peas to boiling the peas to eating the peas To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means. JANET: Is it really necessary to- LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]: THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET [Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan: AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Lors d'un sommet sur le climat, un intervenant présente un programme promettant l'indépendance énergétique, la sauvegarde des forêts équatoriales, le renouvelables, des emplois verts, de l'air et de l'eau pure, la santé des enfants, etc. Un homme se lève dans le public et demande : "Oui mais si c'est un canular et qu'on créé un monde meilleur pour rien ?"

My fellow Europeans, I'm once again asking you to write or call your EU representatives and tell them this is unacceptable. They're essentially selling our sensitive data to companies, effectively destroying our privacy and risking our digital well-being.

Writing code for any sufficiently large project is just a constant exercise of getting confronted with how poor past you was, even if just days ago. And any current feelings of superiority are bound to be overtaken by reality in mere moments.

Toch nog één voordeel van AI-muziek: omdat Suno (cum suis) ook generieke popslop kan maken, moet je als artiest nu echt origineel blijven/worden. Goed voorbeeld:

Perhaps it's getting a bit #gameboy heavy over here, but you've got to have a hobby. Fixed a bug in which I accounted twice for the background scrolling, added some support for ROM and RAM banking, and we have a proper Zelda intro. Link can wake up now. #emudev #odinlang

A loss of two seats is something, but I'm not certain it counts as much of a punishment. And it still leaves the door open to another right-wing coalition. Let's see how it all works out when all votes are in, but I'm not hopeful just yet.
