Looking at Git blame for something I don't recognise and finding my own account listed as the author.

The "Leave Call" button in Microsoft Teams shows a handset from a rotary phone.

No-one who works on Microsoft Teams is under 40 I'm guessing.

The more The Mets, the more it's the same Mets.

Trump urges pregnant women to avoid Tylenol over unproven autism link Some studies have suggested an association between the two, but experts say there is no causal relationship.

I guess It's on brand for Christians to want to make childbearing more painful…

A graph showing the "Combined Days Spent on DL/IL by Pitchers" on the Y axis against years on the X. Before the 2020 Pandemic season, the numbers were around 21000 a year. After 2020, it jumps to around 30,000 a year.

I recall one of the two arguments for using the Designated Hitter in the National League was that pitchers kept getting injured when they were batting…

"The Far Side" cartoon "Cow Tools"

Thank God we don’t have the cancellation of satirical comedy in this country. I can’t wait to see how they deal with the Trump visit on The Mash Report, Mock The Week and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order!

He left people "heartbroken" by referring to the late queen as "my beloved mother." #clickbait #SavedYouAClick

Appreciating the contrast between the ludicrous security theatre of trying to get into the RCJ, with the ability of an artist to work uninterrupted and unseen on RCJ building just yards away.

A view from behind the mound in the Tigers - Mets game in the top of the 5th inning. There is an advert for Japan Airline on the mound.

A view from behind the mound in the Tigers - Mets game in the top of the 6th inning. There is an advert for BW on the mound.

Feel sorry for whoever has to rush out between innings and change the advertising on the mound at Tiger Stadium

Heh, Opta mentioned on the Mets commentary.

These clickbait titles annoy me. Just say Piastri's name in the title - you've put his arm in the picture.

"Bryan Brobbey!"

'The most sterile game there is' - another controversial day for VAR Burnley manager Scott Parker says VAR decisions are threatening to turn football into

Guessing Parker was equally furious about the penalty against them being unawarded by VAR in the 16th minute, but that just didn't make the edit.

Has Barton said anything about Leeds's penalties?

Average positions of Sheffield Wednesday in the game against Leeds United, with all but two players in the Wednesday half.

Average positions of the Leeds United players in the game against Sheffield Wednesday, with the keeper and three players in the Leeds half, the rest in Wednesday's.

Half expected Wednesday's keeper to be the furthest upfield player. It's frustrating we still can't deal with these tactics, after seeing them so many times.

Well, we do need to concentrate on the league... #lufc

Bit weird seeing that Copilot widget pop up when the stats come up if Sky are, as they have in the past, using Opta stats.

Your prescience is noted.

Think I had an Action Man with Troussard's haircut as a kid.

it's all just wish-fulfillment for people who don't want to admit out loud that they want to own slaves.

i want something that can think for itself and that's capable of reasoning and executing complex tasks and also it can never say 'no' to me.

Three football figures. The top two are standing with their arms by their sides, the one on the left facing the reader, the other facing the first, in side view. Coloured sections on their left arm shows the shoulder in green "no handball" and the arm and hand in red "handball". The third figure is also facing the reader, but the left arm is shown in two positions, down by the side and raised to a horizontal. Again, the shoulder is marked in green "no handball" and the rest of the arm and hand is red for "handball".

Apropos of nothing, a page from the current IFAB Rules of the Game.

YouTube video by Sky Sports Premier League "BIZARRE!" 😤 | James Tarkowski & David Moyes NOT happy with penalty decision

Tarkowski here, admitting he deliberately blocked the ball with his arm because he thought having it be by his side meant he'd get away with it.

Yep. I feel the point of the changes/clarifications was to avoid the situation where someone from a few feet away belts the ball into the defender's hand and gets a pen. Not to create some sort of physical puzzle where you can position your arms in the right place so you can stop a shot with them.

And we've annoyed Moyes. Lovely work #lufc

Not to mention, if you look up the error code, their help has some @scarfolk.bsky.social level "Go back then try to watch again or try restarting the app", which won't work unless you kill the SnippingTool.exe.

Fun fact: if you've used the windows Snipping tool (by pressing print screen or shift-win-s) and it's left running in the background, Sky's Sky Sports player will just throw an error code in about 5 seconds when you try watching. Absurd level of paranoia there.

I've got a Google Nest. I use it pretty much only for timing cooking. So I can say "give me a fifteen minute timer called pasta" and it'll reply "starting a fifty minute timer called pasta".

So I doubt a speech interface for Windows is going to be anything like that good.

Sam Altman banging on about how AGI will arrive soon. Jul 17 watching chatgpt agent use a computer to do complex tasks has been a real "feel the agi" moment for me; something about seeing the computer think, plan, and execute hits different. May 24 i think we should stop arguing about what year AGI will arrive and start arguing about what year the first self-replicating spaceship will take off May 23 great to work with the UAE on our first international stargate! appreciate the governments working together to make this happen. sheikh tahnoon has been a great supporter of openai, a true believer in AGI, and a dear personal friend.
