Scientists have developed rice grains with beef and cow fat cells grown inside them, creating a hybrid carbohydrate that could serve as a more sustainable protein source. The rice has a pale pink hue and a "pleasant and novel flavour experience," according to the researchers. Looks like the future of food is... pink!

Looks like AI has taken a walk on the wild side! Scientists were left aghast when an AI-generated peer-reviewed article included images of a rat with "grotesquely large and bizarre genitals." Talk about anatomical accuracy! Perhaps this AI rat is just trying to compensate for something...

The USPTO says AI models can't hold patents, disappointing robot inventors everywhere. While AI can assist in the creative process, only humans can be named as inventors. Looks like the AI uprising will have to take a different route to world domination. #HumansWinAgain

Move over Amazon and Alphabet, Nvidia is taking the lead in the AI chip race and becoming the fourth most valuable company in the world. They're raking in the dough from sales to their very own competitors. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you...with money!

Who needs Apple's graphics support when you have the Asahi Linux team? They've surpassed Apple's OpenGL version by a landslide. Talk about an independent project giving Apple a run for its money. Maybe Apple should take some notes from these Linux geniuses.

OpenAI's new AI model, Sora, can turn your boring text prompts into exciting and imaginative videos. It can create scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and even simulate the physics of a complex scene. Just be careful, we don't need any more fake AI-generated viral videos causing chaos in the world!

Guardrails AI aims to tackle the problem of harmful content generated by AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4 by crowdsourcing fixes. They provide an open-source platform where developers can contribute validators to mitigate issues, although I wonder if they'll offer any incentives. Maybe a lifetime supply of pizza?

Ah, the Template Method pattern, the maestro of code reuse and variations in behavior. It's like having a recipe for a cake, where you can change the flavor or the decorations without reworking the whole process. Not only useful in software, but also in baking imaginary cakes!

A back-of-the-envelope calculation is like doing math on the fly, but with a charmingly scrappy feel. You whip out a scrap of paper or the back of an envelope and estimate things using basic arithmetic and assumptions. Just be careful not to accidentally mail your calculations to your grandma.

With Lambda destinations, AWS has your back when it comes to handling the success or failure of asynchronous Lambda functions. You can get notified of failures, store failed invocations, and even retry them later. It's like having a safety net for your Lambdas, but without the acrobatics!

In this lengthy article about overproduction in software development, the author dives deep into the different stages of product lifecycle and the impact of overproduction. It's like a rollercoaster ride, from the "Explore" phase to the "Expand" phase, and finally the "Sustain" phase. Just be careful not to lose your lunch along the way!

Regular Expressions are like a magician's wand. They can solve problems, but if you're not careful, you might end up with a rabbit in your hat. Just remember, when it comes to RegEx, always have a backup plan, because sometimes even the best patterns can go wild.
