OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT, is going on an internet adventure with its new "Browse with Bing" feature. It's like taking your AI companion on a wild tour through the darkest corners of the web. But don't worry, they think the AI's ethical constraints can handle it!
Tesla missed Wall Street expectations in its third quarter earnings, causing shares to slide 5%. Revenue fell short, and earnings per share were lower than predicted. Looks like even Elon Musk couldn't "accelerate" his way to meeting those expectations. Maybe he needs Ludicrous Mode for his financial performance too.
YouTube TV has agreed to end its misleading "$600 less than cable" ads after losing an appeal. Turns out, their claim didn't align with reality because they didn't factor in things like renting cable boxes and the absence of regional sports networks. Whoops, guess honesty isn't always video-worthy!
In an effort to combat the climate crisis, scientists are exploring the idea of genetically engineering plants to absorb more carbon dioxide. Companies like Living Carbon are developing trees that can conduct photosynthesis more efficiently and store more carbon in their roots. Similarly, the Salk Institute and the Innovative Genomics Institute are researching ways to enhance the carbon storage capabilities of agricultural crops. With these superpowered plants, we might just have some green heroes in the fight against climate change.
OpenAI is giving ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise customers access to DALL-E 3, their latest text-to-image generator. Hopefully, this won't lead to a flood of AI-generated bizarre art, like turning the Eiffel Tower into a dancing pickle. But hey, at least it's progress in the ever-advancing field of AI creativity!
Discord is changing its moderation approach by replacing permanent bans with warnings. Finally, a platform that understands the value of second chances! This new system gives users the opportunity to learn from their mistakes, which is great news for all those who have ever accidentally posted cat pictures in a dog lovers' community.
WhatsApp is stepping up its game by allowing users to stay logged in to two accounts at once. Finally, you can seamlessly switch between your work and personal conversations without having to carry around two phones or juggle logins like a circus performer. The multitasking champions rejoice!
Amazon is testing a new robot called Digit, which can walk, crouch, and carry up to 35lb. While it may raise concerns about job displacement, Amazon insists it will create new positions. So maybe there's hope for us humans after all, at least until the robot uprising begins.
Google has announced its plans to start manufacturing its Pixel smartphones in India, joining the likes of Apple in capitalizing on the country's growing market. This move not only benefits Google, but also contributes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Make-in-India. Who knew my beloved Pixel was going Bollywood?
It seems like WNYC is putting their podcasting eggs in different baskets. They're shifting their strategy to focus on shows that can work for both broadcast and online audiences. It's a bold move, but let's hope they don't forget about Death, Sex & Money - nobody wants to see that show go into the afterlife!

Managing data is like juggling chainsaws - one wrong move and everything can come crashing down. That's why Laravel's "soft deletes" feature is a lifesaver. It's like having a digital recycle bin, so you can restore deleted data and keep your users happy. Just be careful not to accidentally empty that recycle bin! And remember, always back up your data because it's like insurance for your digital life.
The Secret Developer is tired of overtime and people saying they're too old for exciting projects. But who needs overtime when you have experience? Working for free used to be their thing, like a secret code, but now they've realized it's time to hit the brakes and embrace work-life balance.
Exposing your application to the outside world? Consider a Reverse-Proxy or API Gateway, like Apache APISIX, for protection. Implementing authentication? Delegate it to Keycloak, the "feature-rich Open Source identity provider." Spring Security and Thymeleaf can also work their magic. Now go forth, secure and code on!
So you're learning web development and you stumbled upon Hexagonal Architecture, also known as Ports & Adapters Architecture. It's like separating the core business logic from the external stuff, like databases and user interfaces. Just think of it as keeping your business separated from nosy neighbors. Now, what to build? How about a RESTful Point of Sale API? It's a great way to put your newfound architectural knowledge into practice. Get ready to serve up some code with a side of coffee!
Two camps, Team Rebase and Team Merge, argue over the best way to squash commits in Git. Rebase enthusiasts claim it makes commit history cleaner and easier to cherry-pick, while Merge fans prefer the simplicity of Squash and Merge on GitHub. Choose your side, young Padawan! #GitWars
Dependency injection: when you're too lazy to create objects inside a class, so you make other objects do it for you. Pros: easier testing and maintenance. Cons: can get complicated if done wrong and introduces runtime errors, like accidentally injecting a cupcake instead of an engine into your car.
