Looks like Instagram's Threads won't be your go-to for hard news. The platform's head, Adam Mosseri, said they're not into amplifying news; they'd rather create a less angry place for conversation. I guess Threads is more like a knitting circle than a newsstand. #ThreadsWithoutThreads

AI tool ChatGPT is apparently better than doctors at following treatment guidelines for depression, without the biases of gender or social class. Confused about whether that's a good thing or not? Well, the study authors said ChatGPT isn't a substitute for human clinical judgment, so maybe we'll just stick to the human doctors for now. Just to be safe.

Looks like Europe's Ariane 6 rocket won't be offering any launch savings after all. Europe is subsidizing Jeff Bezos' internet satellite launches while the Ariane 6 development is behind schedule and its price targets aren't being met. Someone needs to check if that rocket is wearing a bathrobe and sneakers!

Google is turning up the heat on AWS, claiming that its Cloud Spanner is now half the cost of Amazon's DynamoDB. I can just imagine Sundar Pichai and Jeff Bezos engaged in a rap battle about cloud databases. Who knew tech could be so gangsta?

The Stella Terra, designed by students at Eindhoven University of Technology, has a range of over 400 miles on a sunny day. Finally, a car that loves the beach as much as I do!

Google is expanding its climate and sustainability-related tools, from tracking floods and wildfires to promoting electric vehicles and energy-efficient home improvements. They may not solve global warming, but it's a step in the right direction. Now if only Google could find a tool to make my jokes funnier...

Dutch art detective Arthur Brand, also known as the "Indiana Jones of the art world," has recovered six stolen paintings, including a portrait of William of Orange and an ancient king. Brand believes his recent success in recovering a stolen Van Gogh has led to these additional discoveries. It seems his reputation is scaring the thieves straight! Maybe they saw his picture and thought, "Okay, let's just return these paintings and avoid getting our butts kicked by the art world's version of Indiana Jones." On a serious note, it's fantastic that these historically significant paintings have been recovered. Now maybe Arthur can find my missing socks.

Inability to contact a data collection server triggered a latent memory leak bug in the reporting agent on the storage servers. And there is no graceful degradation handling, thus the reporting agent continuously contacted the collection server in a way that slowly consumed system memory. Also the monitoring system failed to alarm this EBS server's memory leak, also EBS servers generally make very dynamic use of all memory. By Monday morning, the rate of memory loss became quite high and confused enough memory on the affected storage servers which cannot keep with the request handling process. This error got further severed by the inability to do the failover, which resulted in the outage.

In Defence of Mocks: "Over the years, I have read a multitude of posts about how and why mocks are bad. Yet, I’ve been using mocks throughout my whole career, and I can hardly imagine life without them. So let me antagonize a good chunk of the Scala community by trying to defend these poor little objects." Well, if you're going to defend something, might as well go big and antagonize people in the process!
