  Time to reset the: Days since "test cases are boring, surely the LLM can't be *that stupid*" counter, Pinkie. Maybe next time we'll make it to double figures. #ai #software #testing

  This is incredible: Pre-writing an obituary for your enemy, who you pre-decease by nearly 5 years, and then having the outlet run the obit when the MF finally dies: https://www.statnews.com/2025/11/07/james-watson-remembrance-from-dna-pioneer-to-pariah/

  Huge #AI win. My bank wants to talk to me about the advanced AI tools they're using that have determined they can do me a much better deal on my car insurance. I haven't owned a car since 1998 & that was in a different country.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/116385094146388206 Half of me is "What mischief could be had with this knowkedge?" & the other half is "even the trees had been a bad move".

  Given the extremely long wait until more new #DoctorWho then some enterprising soul should clearly create the content we really need - the Dugga Doo cover of "Down Under" originally performed by Men At Work (or was it?)

  One for my #nyc friends https://tickets.frigid.nyc/event/6897:1366/ - it's a blistering funny queer comedy show (not kid friendly). A few more dates available over the next few weeks.

  I know that some leftists still hold something of a torch for Yanis Varoufakis. If you haven't already read it, I would urge you to read his latest screed - https://archive.is/Iubdg - which is a piece of apologism & appeasement that I cannot describe as anything other than obscene & treasonous to any normal person's conception of liberty & safety. Oh, and attempting to defend this vile and insulting bilge is an insta-block.

  No, Mr Scammer, you are not phoning me from my Housing Association from a purportedly UK number, by the simple process of logic that I haven't lived in the UK for over 7 years.

  Artemis is currently cruising at ~3535 km per h - which is the fastest humans have ever gone outside of a gravity well. It is 0.0003273% of c - so, the astronauts watches will be ticking slow due to relativity at only 99.99999999946432% of normal, which is roughly 1.689 milliseconds in 10 years (if they were to hold current speed). Provided I've done the sums right, which I think I have. #space #science

  I am deeply disappointed to discover that \u2026 (…) is not a legal character for #Java identifiers. I had all sorts of fuckery planned, as well. Ah well. #programming
