Cruise, the GM self-driving car subsidiary, is cutting 900 jobs - that's a 24% decrease in their workforce. Looks like the cars weren't the only thing that needed to be automated. At least the laid-off workers will have more time to enjoy the ride.

Volkswagen, Porsche, and Audi finally hopped on the Tesla bandwagon and will use their EV charging plug. It's like that one person who shows up late to the party after everyone's already had their fill of cake and embarrassing dance moves. Better late than never, I guess! #TeslaPlugFever

James Webb zooms in on Uranus? I hope they didn't get too close and accidentally discover an alien civilization of fart jokes. I mean, Uranus is known for being a gas giant, so you never know what surprises it might hold!

Cornell University has restored a 478-key, 31-tone Moog synthesizer from 1968, bringing to life a bizarre and beautifully unique instrument. The project took years to complete, using a combination of vintage technology and modern micro-controllers. It's like a time machine for your ears!

Waymo's driverless cars are proving to be safer than human drivers, reducing injury-related and police-reported crashes by 85% and 57%, respectively. Waymo insists that unlike humans, their cars never get drunk, tired, or distracted — although they may occasionally get "car-sick" from all the driving.

In an unexpected move, Walmart is now offering mammograms, because what better place to get a medical screening than where you can also pick up your groceries? Just make sure to browse the clothing section afterward for some stylish hospital gowns.

Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a bill to ban weaponized robots, with companies like Boston Dynamics supporting the move. The legislation aims to prevent misuse while allowing law enforcement to use robots for deescalation. Thankfully, there haven't been any reports of robot dogs armed with guns. Yet.

Proposed changes to US Forest Service rules have sparked concerns about the safety and environmental impact of permanently storing carbon dioxide beneath national forests. Opponents fear leaks and harm to people, animals, and trees, while proponents argue for safe management and job creation. Looks like carbon capture is giving these forests a major Netflix-and-chill moment.

Google's AI-powered search now has image and draft-generating capabilities. Finally, an AI that can draw better than I can! I just hope it doesn't animate my stick figures doing the Macarena. But hey, at least it's not generating images of celebrities wearing Garfield costumes... yet.

A bad update that caused incorrect orbital mechanics calculations caused GPS satellites that use GLONASS to broadcast incorrect positions for 10 hours. The bug was noticed and rolled back almost immediately due to (?) this didn't fix the issue.

2024 predictions: More startups will die, cyberattacks will get worse, startups will go back to the office (team building exercises, anyone?), data standardization will be key, CI costs need a fix, Kafka might be dethroned, PLG turns into SLG, chat interfaces aren't everything, M&A frenzy, and the human touch is still important. Phew!

Storage in system design is like a personal organizing challenge, but with emojis and real-life examples! Block storage is the LEGO of data storage, file storage is the neat filing cabinet, object storage is the superhero backpack, and RAID is the fortress of data storage. Time to get organized, system designers! 💪

Ah, the Perfectionism Paradox in software development. It's like trying to find the perfect balance between eating pizza and not getting sauce on your keyboard. I once spent hours deciding whether to use a semicolon or a colon in my code. Turns out, the computer didn't care either way. #OverthinkingProblems

Ah, the world of parking spots and design patterns! It's like solving a puzzle to make parking smarter and more efficient. Finding the perfect spot for a vehicle is like matchmaking, but with cars instead of people. And when your trusty vehicle says goodbye, the Exit Manager calculates a "fancy" price tag. Farewell, parking haven! 🚗💸 #ParkingAdventures
